In the evening, after everyone had enjoyed their dinner, Alec and Shiori remained on watch while their fellow companions retired to their beds.

“Well, please don’t hesitate to wake me if something should happen,” said Nils, his words deep with hidden meaning as he wrapped himself in his blanket.

It was not long before everyone was fast asleep. Rurii, too, who would be on guard duty together with Linus later, was already a pool on the floor, deep in slumber.

Outside of the breathing of their companions, there was only the occasional far-off cry of a magical beast, and the sounds of an underground stream.

It was incredibly quiet. The magical lanterns and the natt hortensia flowers illuminated the cavern with gentle light, and Shiori was taken by what was, to her, a fantastical sight. It was like something straight out of a story or a fairy tale. And yet it was right here before her eyes. Once an ordinary office worker in Japan, she had become an adventurer in another world entirely, and this was now part of her everyday life.

Even views like this are just part of my life now...

It was so real to her in the moment that it was her life back in Japan that seemed almost fantastical, and Shiori was suddenly aware of the extent to which she had grown used to the world she now lived in. She felt a slight pain shoot through her chest, but it was little more than that. Gone was the homesickness that had seared her very heart.

She had someone in her life who recognized her, who told her it was more than okay for her to be here in this world, in this place—and it was because of him that she could accept that reality herself. Shiori was now willing to accept that she was living here, and to look positively towards the future.

She could now accept her past life as memories, because she had someone in her life who accepted her, supported her, and loved her. She had never believed that such a person could make her heart feel so light.

Alec. It’s all thanks to Alec.

Alec Dia, a man for whom she would give everything. Presently, he sat on a stone chair that Shiori had crafted with magic, looking at her. Knowing him, he understood his duties and was not letting his concentration slip, but there was something different about his demeanor. This much was clear to her.

Shiori cast her search magic to make sure there was nothing in the vicinity, then drew closer to him.

“Alec,” she said. “Are you okay?”

“Hm? Yeah,” he said, with a vague smile.

His eyes hovered around her, but he would not meet her gaze.

“I wish I could tell you it’s all fine...but I was confronted by old memories,” he said.

He reached out a hand and pulled Shiori in by her waist. He held her close, burying his head against her chest, and let out a long sigh.

“I’m just so glad that it wasn’t real,” he said finally.
