Season 2 Episode 1 "The Beginning of a New Journey"

--Dear Sir/Madam, How are you all doing with the hot weather that continues? Our group has been enjoying the sea since the other day.

The villa that the princess showed me was located along the coast with a beautiful sandy beach, the sun sparkling on the shore and the sea breeze gently ruffling my hair. The sky was clear and cloudless, and it was as if it was saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

The reason we're at the beach is because we went to the mountains to play the other day.

So now it's time for the sea.

It may seem like we just plays around all the time, but apparently it's a reward for saving the world, so she doesn't have to work for a while.

I thought the princess's eyes were slightly wandering when she said that.

On the first day, we built a sandcastle and declared the founding of a nation, then chased a ball on the beach and stuck their heads into the sandcastle. After playing all day, the next day, the princess said she wanted to discuss what to do next.

She is truly a princess. We even discuss what we will do next. I'm sure that in 1000 years, bronze statues of her will be erected all over the place as a symbol of democracy.

I immediately went to my room and started working on a plan. First, I headed for the island I could see offshore by boat.

Then, the princess gathered everyone in the dining room and began with a serious look on her face.

"Let's go to the Magical Barrier City. Apparently there was a monk there who lived for 1000 years. I'm sure he has a clue to extending your lifespan."

I put the planner I was holding behind my back and stopped saying, "Let's go out to sea on a boat today!" because somehow the mood just didn't seem right.

It seems like my time playing in the sea is over.

Looking at the shell accessories left on the table, I lowered my eyes and nodded gently with a serious expression.

It's a bit disappointing that we can't swim in the sea, but this is the princess's villa, so I'm grateful that I was able to stay just one night.

The swordsman also closed his eyes with a serious expression.

"I've heard stories about that long-lived monk too. He was said to be a noble man. Also, near the Magical Barrier City are the World Tree and the Temple of Souls."

Hmm... I thought I knew him, but maybe this is someone else? From what I've heard of monks, he's someone who sees no value in anything other than his own research.

And finally, the hero raised his arms high.

"Anyway, let's go!"

After saying that, the hero, for some reason, quietly came over to me, put his face close to my ear and whispered softly.

"That's a shame, huh? Let's come again."

"Yeah. Huh? What?"

"It's written all over your face that you wanted to play more."

I quickly scrubbed my face. Seeing me like that, the hero laughed happily and shrugged his shoulders, looking a little embarrassed.

"How about... next time we come together? Just two of us? Just kidding, haha."

He put his hand on my head and when I looked back, he gently looked away. Hmm. Okay, if that's what you want, then I'll join in too.

When I stood beside the hero, he gently bent down. Kind. Because of the height difference, I couldn't just stand there and whisper in his ear.

I came down in front of him and whispered in his ear in retaliation, as maturely as possible.

"Then, when we two come together... I'll teach you some adult games."

Things like how to find the right tide pool, and to be careful of aggressive crabs with only one large claw.

However, upon hearing this, the hero raised both his legs and flipped over with a thud, so I quickly took refuge behind the princess. The princess hugged me tighter than before, saying, "That's no good...!" No wait...! Princess, it hurts!

The hero took a long time to wake up after that. He finally got up after the swordsman performed a smooth resuscitation. It was a skilled technique. Actually, even during the journey to defeat the Demon King, it was not uncommon for hero to collapse like this. The pressure of saving the world must be that great.

And then, 15 minutes later, the hero finally managed to reboot and cleared his throat. He had a serious expression on his face, but there was a large lump on his head. I'll treat it later.

"Well, you see, there's no problem with leaving. To find a way to extend lifespan."

"Well, we'll all meet up in 1000 years, so I understand that we'll need to extend your lifespans."

The hero was taken aback and his mouth dropped open, but then he immediately burst into a smile.

"That's the spirit!"

"But I wonder if that's even possible..."

"Leave it to me! I'll definitely find a way!"

Seeing the hero speak so confidently, I swallowed the words I was about to add, "Humans don't live that long."

...Huh? Is there a way...? There isn't, right?

It's common knowledge to me that if a person lives for 1000 years, they're no longer human...

However, when I see my friends fired up, I feel bad about dampening their spirits. The princess is clearly excited.

Then, my friends, all excited, all looked at me. I instinctively took a step back.

Everyone's eyes were sparkling with brilliance, like stars were twinkling deep inside their pupils.

Ugh, it's so bright. I feel like a dog running up to me hoping to get a treat is staring at me like that.

...But I also think that we probably won't find it. If they get their hopes up now, they might be disappointed later. ...Should I tell them? ...Okay! Do your best, me!

"Well, that's it..."

"Don't be shy! Tell me exactly what you want to do."

The princess came running over and said this kindly, before giving me a tight hug. The soft, cool scent of perfume tickled my nose along with the sea breeze.

Even I couldn't bring myself to say, "I don't think there's any way to extend my life, so I want to play with the ball today."

In the end, after some hesitation, I decided to nod. It was a case of mood.

Besides...if we could find it, that would be the best.

"Then let's go! Let's all go find a way to extend everyone lifespans!"

By the way, of course, I am not included in "everyone." It would be a big deal if I extended the number any further.

Then I tentatively—just tentatively—raised my hand, and as if on cue, everyone else raised their hands in unison.

"Oh!!"

The hero raised his fist, the princess gave me a dazzling smile, and the swordsman's mouth turned up slightly.

...Huh? Am I starting to seem like the initiator? Well, everyone seems happy... so it's okay.

...Is that really okay?
