Bonus 8: Rebroadcast Final Episode ("See You Again, Somewhere")
It was one afternoon when they stopped in a small village.
The hero was stopped by an old woman who lived on the outskirts of the village. She had heard rumors that the hero was looking for someone, and had come to help him. The woman, who walked with a cane, happily began to tell the following story.
"Last week, I got lost in the mountains. I slipped and hurt my foot, and I couldn't move...
Then a girl appeared on a mountain path where no one was supposed to go.
She was wearing white clothes and was small and thin, so at first I thought she was a child. But her voice was calm...she gently put her hand on me and said, 'Please don't move.'"
The old woman narrowed her eyes and continued.
"At that moment, the wand she was carrying suddenly glowed yellow. It was warm, and my legs immediately felt better. It was a mysterious light..."
The hero's breathing stopped slightly.
Yellow...
It is a light that represents "one month's lifespan."
"I should have asked for her name... Hey, you're looking for her, right? Do you know her? What's her name?"
The old woman said, taking out a small piece of paper from her pocket.
It was a drawing of a girl from behind, apparently painted by the old woman herself. A large wand was on her back, and the hem of her dress was fluttering.
The moment the hero saw it, he knew it clearly.
That child is still using magic.
She's still helping someone. She's still shortening her life.
The edges of his vision blurred silently.
He should have been able to stop it. He should have sworn that he would never let it happen again.
When he decided to stand up again at the royal palace, he swore to protect her this time.
But...
She laughed, didn't tell him her name, helped someone again, and then disappeared.
"Thank you very much. Please take good care of your feet."
The hero bowed his head as he said this, but his voice was trembling.
The old woman didn't notice.
The hero's face was frozen...and his hand was gripped so tightly that his nails were digging into his palm.
★
One night, the swordsman had a dream.
The setting is a street corner somewhere. It's a place he shouldn't recognize, but there's a familiar color to the light. As he stops in the middle of the crowd, a girl appears in his field of vision.
White clothes and a large wand on her back.
A slender, small back blends into the gaps in the crowd and slowly moves away.
The swordsman took a deep breath.
--It's her!
There was no way he could have mistaken it. He had walked with her so many times, and he was right beside her.
So, he immediately spoke up.
"--Hey!"
But the girl doesn't look back.
The swordsman panicked. He tried to speak again. When he tried to call out her name, the words came to his throat but nothing came out.
The name didn't come to mind. No, it wasn't that he couldn't remember it.
--He didn't know. From the beginning.
It was then that he realized that he had never once heard the wizard girl's name.
"...Wait!"
As she spoke, the girl disappeared into the crowd.
He reached out but no one touched that hand.
At that moment, the swordsman could only stand there in his dream, feeling powerless.
When he woke up, he was staring at the ceiling.
His hands were trembling under the covers. Even if she appeared before him, he might not be able to say anything. After all, he couldn't even "call her name."
A few days later, the swordsman met the hero face to face, but said nothing.
He muttered just one word.
"...I had a dream."
The hero didn't reply, but his silence said everything.
Without speaking, the two understood that they were experiencing the same loss.

★★★★★
The hero traveled around the country, sometimes alone, sometimes with a swordsman.
And it was one of those days when the princess had some free time, and the three of them worked together.
-- Beyond the hill, the grassland spread out before them.
It was a place that had no name on the map. The villagers simply called it "Wind Plateau" - a vast, quiet, empty place.
The early spring wind sways the countless blades of grass like waves. As far as the eye can see, there is a spectrum of shades of green. The grass, about as tall as a person, sways, overlaps, and then falls apart again.
At the edge of the grassland was a cliff strewn with white stones, and beyond that was a hazy sky. Stretching out before them were hills that stretched out as far as the eye could see. The wind was pushing the grass, blurring the line where the sky and the ground met.
There was no sign of anyone. Not even the sound of birds. There was only the swaying green waves.
The princess stopped, pushing aside the grass.
"...It's spacious. There's really nothing here."
The hero put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky. The swordsman lowered his gaze to the ground at his feet, picked up a small stone, and threw it quietly. There was no sound.
The local guide said apologetically from a short distance away.
"No one knows who named this place. It's really just a big, empty place."
The wind blew. The grass all bent down and then rose again. It was as if they were breathing. No one said a word. Only the high-pitched sound of the wind passed by my ears.
After a while, the princess laughed a little, but it was more like a wry smile.
"...Let's go. There are still other places we haven't seen yet."
The three of them start walking, with the grassland at their backs.
The vast landscape says nothing.
However, when the hero suddenly turned around, the sky reflected in his eyes looked somewhat nostalgic.
★
In between her government duties at the palace, the princess often visits the researchers' rooms. Today, too, she slammed open the door and came running in front of the desk.
Unlike her usual dignified appearance, she was breathing a little lightly. She lifted the hem of her dress slightly and gently looked down at the research director at his desk.
"How is it going? Has there been any progress on the 'method to restore lifespan' and 'means to track down missing beings'?"
The researchers were a little put off by her enthusiasm, as this was already the sixth time the princess had come today.
"No... well, not yet..."
"There are few documents and anecdotes..."
"Princess, um... could you please calm down?"
The princess instinctively brought both hands down on the desk with a bang! The head of the department's shoulders trembled in shock. The princess may have an elegant appearance, but she was still a member of the hero's party who had faced the Demon King head-on and returned alive. This was evidenced by the sound of small cracks that appeared in the desk where she had brought her hands down.
The team leader sighed softly. This desk was brand new and had just been replaced. He was sure to get some nasty comments from the inventory manager.
"That child is definitely out there somewhere! According to what the hero said, her existence may have faded from the world, but... there must be a way to capture her...!"
The researchers were speechless at her words. Even when they looked into the kingdom's past records, they found similar cases... but they were all vague, and no information that could serve as a clue remained. It was as if someone had deliberately hidden something.
While the researchers remained silent, the princess seemed to sense the mood and changed the topic in a cheerful voice.
"Just how can we find such a being? And what does it mean for their existence to fade from the world in the first place...?"
Then one of the young researchers answered in a small voice.
"Um... there's an old legend about something similar called 'long-lived species'..."
The princess reacted instantly.
“Long-lived species?”
"Yes, they are called beings that exist outside of time. However, the long-lived species... are merely one of the legends. They are called beings that exist outside of time, but if you say that they are also fading from the world, that may be the same thing. However, I think it is merely a myth."
The princess's shoulders slumped in disappointment. What she wanted right now wasn't a fairy tale. Still, she knew that the researchers were working day and night to keep up with the enormous amount of records. So, intending to join in on the small talk, she urged him to continue.
"Well, if they look similar, maybe we can learn how to catch them. Um, a long-lived species...? I wonder how to catch one."
"They have lived a long life, so they must have faced many dangers. That being said, they must have many ways of dealing with them. The older they are, the more difficult it is to catch them. Apparently, they normally live for over 1,000 years."
The young researcher, who seemed to have understood her intention, joined in with a light-hearted tone. "Hmm," the princess said, putting her finger to her chin and looking up into space.
"So, just chasing after them normally won't work?"
"Well, if you chase after them to catch them, they'll probably run away. I think they're sensitive to that sort of thing."
The princess sighed in exasperation. It was supposed to be just casual conversation, but now another unanswered question had arisen.
"Then if we can't catch them. What can do to meet them?"
"From what I've read in the documents, it seems that you can either wait patiently until they start eating engrossedly, or approach them from behind without being noticed and grab them quickly. ...But more importantly, Princess, I have a record of the turmoil that occurred 1000 years ago... and there is a passage that may provide a clue to restoring the lost lifespan..."
The researcher said this simply, returning to the topic at hand. The princess straightened up and peered in. The small talk from earlier had already been pushed to the back of the princess's mind. But at the same time, her excellent memory had unconsciously imprinted the conversation into the back of her mind, thinking, "I'll just keep that in mind for now."

And then, ten years passed since she disappeared.
The three of them continued their search, each walking their own path. Fragments of sightings, old records, random coincidences. Even though they knew they would never find her, they couldn't give up.
However, time passed cruelly, and ten years passed without them being able to grasp anything.
Before long, the three of them had reached the same conclusion without even speaking a word to each other.
--Then let's at least make a day to talk about her.
If you can't pick them up, at least share your thoughts.
That quiet hot spring inn that they once visited during their travels.
Strangely enough, all three of them felt that that place was nice.
It wasn't a "reunion," but a small promise to "share memories."
It was a place where they spent one of the few nights where nothing happened, no one got hurt, and they were able to just laugh peacefully together.
Perhaps that child was smiling, just a little, at that time - they hold on to that memory like a weak hope.
To tell her story.
And just to remember that child one more time.
The three of them were quietly gathering at the place that seemed like the end point of their previous journey.
★
The first person to show up at the inn was the hero.
He stood a little taller, and there was a slight shadow on his face, but his steps remained straight.
The next person to appear was a swordsman. He was even quieter than he was ten years ago, but his demeanor was just as sharp and gentle as ever.
And then, as the sun began to set, the princess appeared. She was not wearing a dress, but rather calm travel clothes that reminded her of their journey.
The original date was the next day, but as if drawn to each other, the three of them had naturally gathered in the same place the evening before.
"...Everyone, it's too early."
"The one who get here first shouldn't say that."
"..."
It was a bland conversation. But somehow it had a nostalgic ring to it. Even though they didn't say many words, the fact that they shared the same feelings was enough.
Sitting on the veranda and looking down at the empty bathtub, the three of them began to talk.
The conversation quickly turned to her.
That little wizard.
That girl who laughed a lot, caused a lot of trouble, and then disappeared without a word.
As they talk, images that remain in their hearts come to mind.
The path they walked together.
Words exchanged on a night of travel.
A casual gesture.
And then—a back that they can no longer touch.
No matter how much time passed, there was still something to talk about.
The more they talked, the more thoughts they hadn't been able to express came to the surface, and their heart ached.
That was when it happened.
Just for a moment.
The three of them all turned around at the same time.
They felt like someone was standing there.
Beyond the grass swaying in the wind, beyond the cobblestones stained by the setting sun, in the dilapidated garden of an abandoned inn.
They didn't see it clearly.
But there was definitely a presence of something - a wave of a hand.
No one said anything, but everyone was sure of it.
--I wonder if that was that girl just now.
Looking around, all they could see was grass swaying in the wind.
However, there was something gentle about the way the grass swayed.
They couldn't even call her name. Couldn't follow her figure. Couldn't tell her anything.
Still, that presence, like a wave of a hand, disappeared into the evening sky as if forgiving everything.

--It was the same time that the three of them had gathered at the abandoned inn.
The hill has a name: "Wind Plateau."
However, few people really know this grassland.
The wind was blowing. The grass was falling and then rising again. The sun was setting low, and the sky was flickering between gold and crimson.
Among them, there was a figure.
White clothes. A slim back. A small silhouette.
On top of the hill, the girl just stood there, blown by the wind.
There was no sign of her turning around, but her gaze seemed to be looking at something, yet at nothing. Her shoulders were pushed by the wind, and she was shaking ever so slightly.
Her back――for some reason, it looked a little lonely.
The girl suddenly raised one hand.
It wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but it was as if she sensed something in the air.
A quick wave of that small hand.
The move may or may not have had meaning.
She didn't turn around, didn't show any expression, and only her back was bathed in the sunset. When she lowered her hand, the wind swept her away like grass.
The next moment, she disappeared.
Leaving only the feeling that someone had been there.
No one even knew if it was a "goodbye" or not.
Only the wind blows through the grassland.
A tail of light flowed slowly across the sky, which was turning dark blue.
Then, gradually, the screen goes dark.
The credits roll quietly against a black background.
Fragments of the journey so far - starting from the hero's hometown, the royal capital, the shadows laughing casually along the way, the showdown with the Demon King, and the banquet - are faintly and quietly projected onto the screen and then disappear.
Eventually, the scene slowly changes.
It was deep in the forest.
A ray of moonlight shines through the gaps in the trees, caressing the ground.
The sound of insects can be heard in the distance. The wind gently rustles the branches and leaves.
In the center of the screen, there are remains of a bonfire. Only burnt ashes remain.
Next to it was a small wooden table, and on it was a single cup. A small, white teacup with a somewhat lonely outline.
There is no steam.
There was no one there anymore.
Ashes rustle in the wind.
There's no one on the screen.
The moonlight spills through the trees, casting a blue afterglow across the night sky.
There was no sound, no words, only light and silence.
And then the screen slowly sinks into darkness.

She's not waiting to be picked up...
I'm just used to no one coming.

Somehow, she was waving even though there was no one there...
So... sad...

Wizard-chan, you've always been doing things for people
In the end, no one will see it...

It's hard not being able to see your face!
But being kind by just showing your back is even more painful!

...is it coming in...?
Eh, is this the end???
860: Anonymous of the Wind
At first, I thought, "Maybe they'll meet again"
This time there was a sign saying "It's over."
863: Anonymous of the Wind
They've been wanting to see her for 10 years, but the sound of the grass is drowned out...
It's really impossible...
869: Anonymous of the Wind
Huh?...they're not going to meet again?
Is this really the end??
870: Anonymous of the Wind
I was watching it hoping to see viewers say "See you later."
Was it a "goodbye" bug?
874: Anonymous of the Wind
Why does this anime show us "they didn't meet"?
Isn't it usually the other way around?
876: Anonymous of the Wind
The production team shows a girl silently waving for two rounds in a row.
They are too much of a clouding pleasure club members
877: Anonymous of the Wind
Please supply me, not
Isn't it bad that all I hear is she saying "Please find me"?

"That child's life ended without anyone understanding it."

It was the final episode, but instead of a reunion, it was a re-separation...

Aaaahhh the ending has come!!

They still have that teacup...
No one has cleaned up...
902: Anonymous of the Wind
Do cups ever end up looking so insanely lonely?

The ending is the same as the first one... nothing has changed... it's the same...
Piano arrangement included
At least let me hear the song
906: Anonymous of the Wind
Just by the size of that cup, I can tell it's "that girl's personal property" and it makes me want to cry, so stop...

Is there really an ending with so many people left?

In the final episode, there are no voices or lines, and I feel like I'm being hit by the silence.

What was the meaning of this rebroadcast???
A further blow???
913: Anonymous of the Wind
No, it's over... What... It's really over...
914: Anonymous of the Wind
That's weird... What about the second season? What about the later opening theme?
What about "Her story"????????????
916: Anonymous of the Wind
Could it be... that it really ends here...?
No, no, wait...?
This is definitely weird
918: Anonymous of the Wind
What does it really mean that the aftertaste is worse than it was when it was first broadcast...?
920: Anonymous of the Wind
Wasn't the rebroadcast meant to be a hope for a reunion...?
Was it a replay of despair...?

When she was waving at us in the grassland earlier, she really meant "this is the last time"...
923: Anonymous of the Wind
It's so intentional that the characters' names don't even appear in the end credits
What is this "Wizard Girl"?
924: Anonymous of the Wind
Everyone was dreaming of a reunion
Just three word: It All End

I thought they'd meet again
It really was "see you again, somewhere"...

But now I think that the ending was definitely "her story."

I was thinking, "I couldn't say thank you," when it ended...huh? It's not over yet? The Ending Song!! The second verse has started!!
★★★★★
The credits end and the light returns to the dark screen.
At that moment, the melody that had previously only been played on the piano was slowly joined by a singing voice.
Then, one by one, still images resembling the original drawings appear.
As if tracing the memory of the story.
It's like turning a page.
★
Hill at dusk.
A girl is looking down from a hill over a small village. The village appears to be a village of heroes.
Her tattered clothes sway in the wind, her hair fluttering, and she holds a familiar wand behind her back.
There was something indescribable dwelling on her back.
•
•
The day she met the hero.
A young hero runs happily up to a little girl playing in the river. Looking closely, he sees a large walking stick leaning against the riverbank.
•
•
Temple of the Oracle.
The boy receives the sword.
Behind her is a young wizard girl.
She said nothing, but just stood there a little distance away, smiling and watching.
•
•
A scene from the journey.
Four friends walk through the grassland.
In a scene where laughter can be heard, the girl and boy are standing next to each other, a little behind, laughing together.
•
•
Battlefield.
The four of them stood before the Demon King with dignified expressions.
The hero holds his sword, the princess raises her staff, and the swordsman holds his shield.
Only the girl's wand was glowing red and quietly.
•
•
The night of the banquet.
A girl surrounded by light.
As she disappears, her companions each reach out their hands in their own way.
But it doesn't reach.
The girl was smiling in the light with a troubled look on her face.
•
•
Grassland at sunset.
The girl stood quietly with her back turned.
The original drawing, showing her from behind, has several sticky notes attached that read, "Don't ever let her look back!"
•
•
A composition looking down on a wooden table from directly above.
There was only one cup of tea on it.
The background is not painted.
The cup is surrounded by what appears to be pencil lines and has many writings written on it.
...And then, the lights went out.
★
After a short pause.
In front of a closed hot spring inn.
The girl tilted her head as if peering into the doorway. She had no wand. Nothing.
The figure stands still in the painting, even the wind is still.
It was as if she was waiting for time to flow.
--Then, the original drawing suddenly takes on color and the image begins to move.
The girl stepped into the entrance of the abandoned inn and shouted loudly.
"...Hello? Excuse me!"
But there was no reply. The wooden door of the inn remained half-closed, silent beneath the sloping roof. Next to the door there should have been a wooden sign bearing the name of the inn, but it has now been removed, leaving only traces. Fallen leaves had piled up at the entrance, and moss covered the area.
"Hmm... is it a closed day? It seems a little rough for that..."
The girl put a finger to her lips and laughed awkwardly.
At that moment, her hair lifted up.
Just then, behind her, across the wind, she sensed something.
"...?"
She slowly turns around.
And then her eyes open wide.
--The screen melts into white.
A picture of a young wizard girl with her three friends jumping on her.
The princess was crying and clung to her.
The hero put his arms around her back and hugged her tightly.
The swordsman stood there embracing everyone, gently placing his hands on their backs.
The girl has a surprised look on her face.
That one photo told the whole story of what had happened to them up until that point.
•
•
Last cut.
Four tea cups are lined up on a wooden table.
No one is sitting there, no one is there.
But it was no longer an "empty seat."
"I felt like I could walk even without magic."
The final verse of the song flows quietly, like a soft nod.
And then, the screen quietly faded to white――
"A story like someone's dream, somewhere in the world"
White letters float softly in the center, then quietly disappear along with specks of light.
In the midst of deep silence, the screen goes quietly and completely dark, leaving only a final afterglow.

[Discussion Team Dispatched] Who is Wizard-chan? [Rebroadcast Thread]
[Celebration] Wizard-chan looks healthy [Happy Birthday]
[Laughs] The captured Wizard-chan's face looked like it was when she saw the theory of magic in front of her.
A healthy and strong wizard consumes 80 years of her lifespan and then spends 10 years sleeping outdoors. (But that's impossible!)

[Emotional Corpse] After crying, doubts hit me
[Accusation] Isn't the little wizard a little too cute and long-lived?
