Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

The sun rose high above the sky and finally scattered in great splendor.

As soon as I saw the last of it, my heart tightened.

“Was I… able to respond to him?”

『You need not ask about the obvious now, do you?』

I muttered as I fell from the sky, and Tre’ainar replied.

『Well done, child.』

“…… yeah……”

『You earned this victory on your own, with no outside help…… unlike Hiro and the others, who always fought with help from their comrades…… you have done well. Also, I was able to witness Gouda’s majestic figure, as he met a spectacular end without fear for what little life he had left……』

It was a sad moment, but it was still etched in the hearts of Tre’ainar and I. Gouda was the coolest bastard ever.
