I bet they're training in the desert by now. Well, as long as those two are together, I guess there's no reason to worry. I wonder what new techniques they'll come up with. ...Hehe.

I knew we could count on you, Leon!
You could learn a few things on your own... No, forget it. I'm wasting my breath.
Ugh... Sorry, Leon. You're right, it's not a good idea to rely on you all the time.
...Hmph. Well, this time there's not much of a choice.

It seems the battle plan even accounted for my anticipating how Leon would act. I know him only too well, right down to how he surely felt when Stahn arrived to help him.

I'm just... ashamed of myself.
Ashamed?
Leon was suffering all alone with his problems... How could I have never noticed that? Even though we were together, I didn't really understand Leon at all...

Y'know, you're surprisingly good at playing this off.
I spent all night memorizing the script just to get Leon to laugh.
Really keeping your nose to the grindstone there! ...So, that about does it. How'd you find it?
...Hmph. How foolish.

It's somewhat encouraging to see the two of them working together.
You shouldn't tell Leon that. He's a cynic.
Hehe... Right.

You two are so close!
Wh... Why would that be!?
It does look that way, after all. The only one who doesn't realize it is you.
Even you, Chal...!

If this keeps up, they'll fight each other...! Even though they're actually best friends! I... What should I do...? It's absolutely not right for those two to be fighting...!

About Kyle... What you said earlier reassured me... So I'll ask you again. Leon... please take care of Kyle.
Stahn... Back then, you never listened to me when I tried to say it... You're serious, huh...

I'm sorry if I'm wrong. Are you... Are you Stahn-san?
Yes.
I see... I knew it. I've heard a lot of stories from Leon-sama. You were so close to each other, weren't you?
...Yes. He's my best friend.
I'm sure Leon-sama would be delighted to hear that.

Friends are supposed to be there for each other in times of trouble...! How could you not understand that!
...Are you still calling me your friend after all this?
Of course!

We're almost ready with freshly made mochi! If you want some, go ahead!
Wow, we can have some!? That's great, Leon!
Haaah. ...All right, just keep your voice down.
Oooh! Looks like they're cooking something over there! Let's go, Leon!
...Listen to what people are saying!

Leon should be with you. He's so pathetic.
I heard that Leon's missing. I hope it's nothing to worry about.

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 7h

He's supposed to be here alone.
What!? Alone!? Is that okay?
That guy can kill monsters in an instant. He's the best knight there is! But he doesn't really like being around other people, so he usually goes on missions by himself.

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 8h

Leon, one of these days I'll end up friends with you, okay?
Hmph. ...I don't want someone who is impudent, happy-go-lucky, and overfamiliar like you.

1

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 8h

I'll come back here to be a soldier someday. And when I do, we can go on missions together, right?
Don't get carried away. By the time you come back, I'll be of a higher rank. For once, I won't let you call me your friend so casually.
Haha, I'm sure it'll be easy for you, Leon.

1

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 9h

Leon!! Are you okay?
Y... Yeah... Sorry. Thanks.
Heheh...
...What is it? Why are you smiling at me?
Well, I'm just happy you thanked me. That doesn't happen often, huh?
...I didn't mean to thank you.

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 10h

I'm going to ask you to hand over the Eternal Sword!
I can't give the holy sword to someone who attacked me without telling me why!
Shut up! You're in my way!
Leon... I believe in you. I won't let you stop Leon!

And even if it really is his... What difference would it make? Right now, we shouldn’t be treasuring what he left behind like a memento. What he’d want... Is for you to cherish the world he wanted.
The... ideal future Leon wanted...

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 11h

Y'know, Leon's kind of a jerk, but according to Stahn, he's not such a bad guy deep down.

1

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 11h

What are you going to do now?
I... I'll never forget how my actions nearly caused the world to be destroyed. So I guess I'll be making up for that. I don't know how long it'll take, but...
I see. It might take a while. I mean, I know how stubborn you are.
Shut up!
Haha!

1

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 12h

No way... But I'm the real Stahn...! Isn't that right, Leon...? Leeeeooooooooon!!!
You kept dragging up a past Stahn would've gotten over, there's no way you can win against the real thing. We got over that jealousy nonsense already, both Stahn and I...
Leon...

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 13h

...I'm annoyed to admit I'm completely caught up with such a hopelessly optimistic man.

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 13h

When my brother returned, he told me so much about you.
Stahn... told you about me?
Yes. He always looked so happy when he talked about you, Leon-san. A really cool guy who's strong, super smart, surprisingly gentle. A new friend he was proud to have made on his trip.
I-I see...

1

☀️⚔️🌙 @stahnleonbot.bsky.social · 14h

Stahn...
......
...I believe in Leon. No matter what.
