Chapter 415

The Ossuary of the Great Cathedral.

It was a place to honor the souls of the heroes who had sacrificed their lives to save the world.

I offered a flower and observed a moment of silence.

The events of that day still come to mind vividly.

That day, which was pandemonium.

And that day, when we ultimately saved the world and survived.

I didn’t do it alone.

Everyone did it.

It was possible because of everyone’s will and strength.

“I hope you’re happy there.”

This wasn’t my voice.

It was Riviera’s voice.

She was paying her respects to the memorial tablet of none other than Chancellor Ariper.

Yes, the Chancellor was officially declared dead.

But.

“…I’m not dead yet, so why are you killing me off as you please?”

The Chancellor’s, no, the Saint’s voice was heard.

Sister Marianna was pushing the wheelchair instead of the martyred Guardian Knight Esron.

With the Dark God completely annihilated and the source of ruin embedded in the Saint’s body losing its power, her condition seemed much more comfortable than before.

However.

I knew by feeling.

That the Saint was preparing her heart.

Like someone about to leave for a very distant place.

And that distant place might not be anywhere in this world.

Riviera probably did that because she felt the same thing.

“It’s only right to send off even an enemy well in the end.”

A meaningful statement.

Yes, the Saint was certainly Riviera’s enemy.

The culprit who created the law that drove Riviera’s family to ruin.

The Saint heavily closed and opened her eyes.

“Yes. I certainly did you a wrong. I apologize, even if it’s late.”

The Saint’s actions also had a reason.

To prevent the calamity that would strike again, she had branded anything that felt even slightly like a dangerous seed as heresy and cut off its roots.

But even so, that act could not be justified.

Especially to the person involved.

“It doesn’t really matter now. Max taught me that there are more important things than revenge. And you don’t have much time left anyway.”

However, Riviera seemed to have transcended her desire for revenge.

I couldn’t deny my influence, as she said, but that wouldn’t be all.

It was possible because she herself had decided to move forward.

“Is that so.”

The Saint smiled gently.

“As you say, God is about to take me soon, so I will ask this person to atone for me.”

The Saint’s gaze turned to Sister Marianna.

Atonement.

It meant she would eliminate the evils she herself had created.

Since she couldn’t do it herself, she would ask someone else.

That someone was Marianna.

She was entrusting the future of the Church to her.

It seemed that the Saint’s faction, including Sigmund, had already gathered their will to support her.

As someone who had received a divine revelation and entered the Church, and one of the heroes who had defeated the Dark God, she was more than qualified.

I, too, approved of her.

Because she was a person with a purer and cleaner character than anyone.

“Yes, though I am lacking, I will do my best.”

Marianna bowed her head.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the end just because she had made up her mind.

Because opposition would naturally arise.

However, I believed.

That she would surely be able to do it.

“You seem to have communicated with God a bit?”

I changed the subject.

“Yes.”

The Saint nodded with a smile.

It sounded preposterous, but if it was this person, it was possible.

Because she was the legendary Saint whom God loved the most.

“Then I have no choice but to ask this. Has the world truly been saved?”

“Yes, God said so.”

“That’s enough.”

My heart was completely at ease.

It was a life I had lived fiercely for that.

I didn’t know what the next chapter of my life would be, but at least for now, I wanted to enjoy life with a peaceful heart.

“Is that really enough?”

“Pardon?”

“You should enjoy happiness with your loved ones.”

“Ah, that’s…”

It certainly seemed like she was saying it with me in mind, but it felt like she had something else to say.

Before I could even finish my thought, the Saint delivered a powerful blow.

“Let’s have a joint wedding.”

“Cough, cough!”

No, this person, really…

“An excellent statement.”

*Clap, clap, clap.*

Riviera clapped like a seal.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

The coughing wouldn’t stop.

I had saved the world, but the romantic troubles (?) I had brought upon myself still remained.

It seemed clear that neatly resolving this was my next task.

“H-How can you say joint! At least one at a time…”

“That’s because I wanted to bless you all at once before I die.”

“Those words right now, they sound very burdensome, you know?”

“Ah, ah, don’t feel burdened at all. It’s just my last wish.”

“…”

“Well, enough with the unreasonable talk. For now, it means the next wedding is set, right?”

Anyone hearing this would think I was some kind of wedding specialist.

…Though it really was turning out that way.

“Yes, with Senior Hiresia and…”

*Clap.*

The Saint smiled and clasped her hands together.

“That’s wonderful. The venue?”

“The Forgotten Forest.”

A forbidden sanctuary for High Elves only, not permitted to humans.

That was the venue for my next wedding.

* * *

Camian’s story ended.

The people had solemn expressions.

Because they realized how much sacrifice lay beneath the cool hero’s tale they had been anticipating.

It was thanks to Camian, who had calmly stated only the facts without deliberately emphasizing only the triumphant moments like a storyteller.

“I want you to know. How many people’s sacrifices were made so that you could live a peaceful life.”

“…Yes, hero-nim.”

“We will never forget.”

“Thank you, heroes.”

People expressing their gratitude sincerely.

That was enough.

“Hmph, enough of that. Don’t come out of here for the next day.”

Slain interjected.

“Pardon? What do you mean by that…?”

“We have received reliable information that remnants of the Dark Cult are in this vicinity. We came here to wipe out those remnants, is what I’m saying.”

With the Dark God they worshiped completely annihilated, the Dark Cult had disbanded.

Nevertheless, remnants still remained in various places, harming people.

Camian’s group had come all the way to this rural corner of the central region to clean that up.

“A-Remnants of the Dark Cult…”

The people looked surprised.

At the same time, their expressions were filled with admiration.

Because they had learned that the heroes were acting to pull out even the last roots of evil.

“We will not forget this grace!”

“We will remember the heroes forever!”

At least in this village, it seemed the heroes would not be forgotten.

* * *

*Stab!*

“K-Kuh…”

Lucia’s rapier ended the life of the last remaining remnant.

For them, who had survived the terrifying battle against the Dark God, remnants of the Dark Cult were nothing.

The current them were heroes whom no one could deny.

“This area is cleaned up now. What’s next?”

Slain asked, cracking his neck.

“We have to go back to the Holy City.”

Camian replied.

Because he had heard something from Max beforehand.

“The Holy City? Why the Holy City?”

Now that he had graduated, he had no particular business in the Holy City.

Especially Slain, a mercenary.

“Our seniors are getting married. To go to that wedding, we have to stop by the Holy City first.”

“Seniors? Which seniors are getting married?”

“Senior Max and Senior Hiresia.”

The reason Max was a senior and Hiresia was Senior-nim was, of course, the degree of intimacy.

The High Elf senior was still a difficult person for Camian to deal with.

“W-What? A second marriage already?”

Even the great Slain seemed quite shocked this time.

It seemed to be a situation that was hard for even his common sense to accept.

Meanwhile.

Lucia seemed to be shocked in a different sense.

“Whaaat?! H-A High Elf with a human?!”

A culture shock, even though she was a half-elf who inherited the blood of both humans and elves.

It was understandable, as it was unimaginable for a High Elf, a child of the World Tree and a pure-blooded elf, to be united with another race.

In fact, it was something that had never happened before.

The Max and Hiresia couple were taking a historic first step.

“Hehe, why is everyone reacting like that? The two of them look so good together.”

Annette, smiling.

In fact, it wasn’t that she didn’t have something on her mind.

Max’s first wife, Regina.

She had been worried about her.

But after learning that Regina had readily agreed, she was in a state of blessing them with a peaceful heart.

“Yes, anyway, let’s all go. It’s okay, right? They’re both our lifesavers, so it would be rude not to attend, right?”

There was no way a different answer would come from there.

* * *

The Forgotten Forest.

It was the second time I had been here, but it looked so different.

A forest that was so quiet it calmed the heart, but on the other hand, felt too large and lonely.

That forest was now bustling with guests from all over.

The few High Elves who were the masters of the forest.

The elves who had become part of the forest’s family first.

Even the human guests who had been invited.

Perhaps no one had ever dreamed of such a sight.

This place was now clearly a place of harmony that transcended race.

“Hehe, it’s a nice sight. Isn’t it?”

The Saint spoke to the tree.

Not just any tree.

It was the World Tree Mother-in-law.

A mother-in-law who boasted (?) a massive body that would make even mountains weep.

The mother-in-law, as if in a good mood, shook her large branches up and down.

It must have been a sign of agreement.

“Congratulations on getting a good son-in-law.”

The mother-in-law shook her branches even more vigorously.

Fortunately, it seemed she liked me a lot.

I should treat her well.

…It wasn’t because I didn’t know what would happen if I upset such a mother-in-law.

“Then, shall we begin soon?”

This time too, the officiant was the Saint.

To have a legendary being officiate my wedding twice, there would be no one else like me.

That aside, the Saint was now speaking with her own voice.

Because everyone knew now.

That she was the Saint.

However.

Only a few, including myself, knew that the Saint was fated to leave the world soon.

Therefore, to me, it was an even more special ceremony.

“Please enter together this way.”

The Saint smiled and gestured in front of the World Tree Mother-in-law.

The simultaneous entrance of the bride and groom amidst the blessings of all.

That was the entrance method for this wedding.

I held Elf Senior’s hand tightly.

“Shall we go?”

“Yes.”

Elf Senior smiled a fresh smile.

It was a happy smile.

Because I could see such a smile of hers, I was also happy.

We slowly walked forward.

“Be happy, Seniors!”

I saw Annette.

“I-I’m so envious, Leader!”

I saw that guy Allen too.

“Senior, Please be happy.”

I saw Camian too.

“Savior, congratulations!”

“Our Savior really can do anything.”

“Brother Max, live a long and happy life!”

I saw the Turtle Unit too.

“Sob, sob, our princess is finally getting married…”

“Why are you crying on a good day, Elder.”

…I saw the High Elves too.

“Seniors, congratulations!”

“Have a beautiful love!”

“The bride is so pretty!”

Many other people congratulating us.

And.

“Really, really congrats. But I’m next.”

“Cough.”

“Hehe, when can I quit that emperor position?”

“Cough, cough.”

…The continuous attacks of the heroines entangled with me.

“N-No, what is everyone doing? I-It’s a joke, so don’t mind it, Senior Hiresia! O-Okay?”

Elaine, thank you so much for being the only sensible heroine…

“Pfft.”

Hiresia laughed as if it was amusing.

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to mind it much.

“Darling, you must have a hard time being so popular.”

D-Darling?

My face turned red at the sweet term of endearment I was hearing for the first time from Elf Senior.

“Why is that? I learned that human couples call each other that?”

Elf Senior, blinking her questioning eyes.

I hastily nodded my head.

“A-Ye-Yes, that’s right.”

Elf Senior let out a small laugh.

“Anyway, today, I have no intention of yielding my darling to anyone.”

“Me neither, of course.”

We held hands even tighter.

“I am happy.”

“Yes, I’m happy.”

Yes.

I was happy.

So happy that I worried if I really deserved to enjoy such happiness.

However.

“We deserve to enjoy happiness, don’t we?”

I said confidently.

“Yes.”

Elf Senior answered with a smile.

I also smiled.

I saved the world.

I have the right.

The right to enjoy happiness in the world I saved.

It didn’t matter that I was still in a game world.

Because I could enjoy happiness in a peaceful world with my loved ones and precious ones.

That meant.

‘It’s a happy ending.’

I walked a happier step than ever before.

With my beloved.
