(TN: From the title, this would be the last chapter, I think)

A few weeks after rescuing the heroes.

I was with Saria and the others visiting the training grounds at the royal castle in Terviel.

“Err…… Then I’ll activate the magic.”

When I said so, I activated magic that will return my classmates and other students to Earth.

Since then, I had to wait for the heroes to recover enough strength to stand up on their own, but they all recovered without incident, and today the time finally came for them to return to earth.

When everyone woke up safely, Kannazuki-senpai discussed with them whether they wished to return to earth or not, and it seemed that everyone chose to return, and thus I got permission from Ranze-san to rent the training hall at the Royal Castle and activate my magic.

“Are you really sure it’s all right?”

“In the first place, who is that guy?”

“……He looks somehow familiar……”

“Ah! Isn’t that the guy who used to teach the dropouts at the magic academy?”

“Oy, oy, do the teacher who taught the dropouts really have the ability to bring us back to Earth?”

You’re being harshly told a lot, me.

When the heroes heard that I was going to activate the magic that would return them to Earth, they all looked at me with skepticism, and some of them even looked down on me.

How do I say it…… you’ve been through so much, and on top of that, you don’t have the power of a hero anymore, but you’ve got great confidence.

However, as they unanimously chose to return to earth, I guess they have learned their lesson to take no more risks.

Incidentally, as for the 『Bracelet of Slaveries』 that were attached to the heroes, I deactivated them while they were sleeping to recover their strength, but very few people noticed that the bracelets had disappeared, perhaps because they had suffered more hardship due to that. Well, it’s not like I’m being condescending, but that’s fine.

I myself was used to it and didn’t really care, but I now have some people that would get angry instead.

“Those guys, instead of just listening quietly, they would say whatever they want……”

“Exactly! Shall I kick them to death right now!”

“……Nn. Glutton, calm down”

“Tha,that’s right! It would be pointless to kill them after he just saved their lives!”

Al and the others, who were watching behind me, got angry at the attitude of the heroes.

Of course, since I was going to invoke such large-scale magic to return them to Earth, not only the heroes but also the people from the Kingdom of Welmburg, including Ranze-san, had come to observe the event, and they, too, were frowning at the heroes’ attitude.

“……How should I put it, they don’t deserve the title of a Hero.”

“Exactly. To not be able to understand the greatness of my master…… Wouldn’t it have been better to leave them in the Kaizer Empire?”

“Stop, stop that thought. How can we leave these troublesome people behind even though Alf-dono has gone to great lengths to revive. They’ll just be a hindrance”

“That’s true, too…… this is quite difficult.”

Alf-sama, who was also mentioned in the conversation between Louise and Ranze-san, seems to have liberated the countries they had once invaded one after another while trying to rebuild his country soon after that.

Of course, since it’s between countries, there were probably more complicated discussions than I know about, but they still seem to be moving towards amity.

However, because of what has happened up till now, it has been difficult for them to be accepted by other countries, but it seems that not only Ranze-san here but also Amelia-san and the others from the Valsha Empire are taking the initiative to interact with them, and they are gradually working to restore trust.

Incidentally, Helio, the magician of the Kaizer Empire, who has manipulated them from behind the scenes thoroughly from top to bottom, had lost his power because he too had fallen into the magic circle of the Demon God’s cult. I think it was a magic circle he had prepared himself, but I think he’d have to be pretty dumb to fall for it…… No, maybe he was hoping for the Demon god’s resurrection, even if it meant sacrificing himself. Anyway, I think it’s bad.

I should have shared my life force with him and the other people in the city who were captured, but for some reason he was left withered, and even now it seems that just living is all he can do.

Also, Zakia-san later noticed that one of the sacrifices was Blued’s brother …… what was his name again?

A,anyway, it seems that Blued’s brother was also there, and he too was still dried up and parched. I’m sure I shared my life force with him properly.

Well, I feel like there’s something like the will of the world at work here.

『I did my best.』

………………yes.

Anyway, the problems of both the Demon God’s cult and the Kaizer Empire have been cleared up, and the world is finally at peace.

By the way, the Blued and the others who were indebted to this Welmburg Kingdom have returned to their respective countries after everything was settled.

Among them, Blued seems to have been nominated by Alf-sama to become the next emperor.

However, even though he’s dried up, Blued’s older brother is there too…… I wonder what will happen. Well, since it’s Blued, he’ll do well.

Besides, I’m willing to lend a hand if he ever needs it.

I don’t know what will happen to him in the future, but I hope he will be happy because I was his teacher, even if it’s only temporarily.

As I think about such things, Saria smiles and opens her mouth.

“You don’t have to worry about it, Seiichi. You’re going to say goodbye to these people here, right?”

“That’s right”

I’m going to remain in this world, and after the transition, these heroes …… Once again, it is unlikely that I will actively meet with the people at school. Except for Kannazuki-senpai, Shouta and the others, though.

“In that case, I don’t think you need to worry about it after all. I’d hate it more if Seiichi got tired of worrying about it!”

“……Thank you”

Saria’s words made me smile.

“Now then, let’s do it right away!”

When I regain my spirit, I start imagining the magic.

This time, I’m not moving within the same world, but to another world, which is Earth.

I wonder what kind of image would be good……

『Seiichi Magic 【Transference*】 was created. 』(TN: Transition is actually the right word for this. You will know that later)

They don’t even let me imagine it anymore…..!?

And the type of magic is Seiichi magic, although its name is Transition! It’s getting more and more complicated, isn’t it!?

Despite my surprise, the magic had already been activated, and when a huge vortex appeared in the space in front of us, the vortex eventually connected to a different world.

And the world that the vortex connected was the――――nostalgic classroom I used to go to.

“Se,seriously……”

“Tha,that’s, our classroom, isn’t it……?”

“U……uwaaaaaaaah!”

When one person couldn’t hold back and rushed into the vortex, the others rushed forward like a dam that had broken, and one after another, they moved to the other side of the vortex.

“Ya,yay! I’m back, we’re back!”

“I can now go home! Uhh……uhh……”

A number of students shed tears as they realized that they had finally returned to earth.

While they were rejoicing over their safe return to earth, one of the students noticed something.

“A,a’re? You, are becoming kind of younger, you know?”

“Ha? What are you saying…… no, you too?”

“Eh, you’re lying, what, what?”

“Maybe it’s just my imagination, but you’re getting rejuvenated……?”

To my surprise, while checking each other’s faces and bodies, they said that they themselves were getting younger.

“Oy, Seiichi. Somehow those guys, they’re talking about being young again, what did you do to them?”

“Eh? I, didn’t do anything, though……”

Al-san, you can’t just assume that I did something about everything……

Especially since this time the magic was activated before I even imagined it! Even the initial conditions for 【Magic Creation】 no longer matter.

However, even though 【Transition】 is a simple magic name, for some reason, it was classified as Seiichi magic…… I wonder if that has something to do with it?

When I checked the effect of the magic……

【Transition】……Seiichi Magic. A magic that combines the contradictions of all kinds of situations in a convenient way, and transfers them.

(TN: Transition can mean many things, it can mean movement, change, adaptation or transformation)

It was something more outrageous than I expected. ……!

Or rather, the transfer element is just at the last words!?

Don’t tell me…… this is what God said that it would be managed somehow!?

With this, it would surely be no problem, though!

“Well, it’s been quite some time since we came to this world, but actually, when we came to this world, our information was erased from the memories of the people we interacted with in our world.”

“Ha? You mean…… the parents had forgotten about their children?”

“That’s what I mean.”

“Oy, oy, how did they do that…… no, why did they do that?”

“Originally, the world I lived in was too populated, so it seems that God decided to send us to another world, but at that time, the Kaizer Empire of this world was doing a ritual to summon heroes, so we were dragged to this world. Well, because of that, we were wiped clean from the memories of everyone’s parents and so on.”

“……Hmm. So you’re saying that even if they go back to normal, the parents of those heroes won’t still remember them?”

“Yes. Besides, as I said earlier, it’s been a long time since I transferred to this world, so I think the flow of time around here will probably be strange. …… if not for the magic that I invoked this time.”

“Ah…… I,is that why their looks become younger; do you mean that various discrepancies in information have been corrected!?”

“Yeah”

“……It’s a little complicated story, but I kind of get what you mean. I understand it, but even so, it’s too unreasonable for them to rejuvenate so easily……”

Al-san, it’s fine. I think so too.

Well, but the fact that they are rejuvenated in this manner as a result probably means that they don’t have to worry about the passage of time, and more importantly, if it has gotten this far, their parents should probably remember them too.

The time felt the same as the class day on the day of our transfer to this world.

The students who had returned to Earth no longer cared about us, and they ran out of the classroom and went off to their own places. Maybe they went to their homes, but …… is that okay? Well, I guess my role ends here.

――――Thus, the heroes have returned to Earth, but having gained power in another world, their arrogant behavior became ingrained in them, and they were unable to get rid of their behavior as former heroes, and they craved the different world and power again to experience the feeling of that time, and they would have a very hard time in society. ……

As I was seeing off my classmates who were leaving one after another like that, the last heroes, Kannazuki-senpai and her company, approached me.

“Seiichi-kun. Thank you very much. Thanks to you, a burden has been lifted from my shoulders.”

“No, I’m glad I could be of help.”

“……Hey Seiichi. Are you really going to stay in this world?”

“Yeah. As I’ve told you before, I have no regrets about that world.”

Originally, I wasn’t able to lead a decent life, and my parents are now living in this other world.

Above all, this world is where Saria and the others are.

“So don’t worry about it. Besides, it’s not like this is a goodbye for life. If I want to go over there to play, I’ll go over there to hang out.”

“Well, that’s true, but ……”

“I’m actually able to return to Earth looking like this……”

“Seiichi-oniichan has become an extraordinary being without us even knowing”

“Certainly! Right now you are, a winner no matter how you look at it.”

“Eh?”

My eyes widened at Kenji’s words.

Objectively speaking, that’s correct, but I didn’t really feel that way.

However, I got married to a wonderful girl named Saria, and from there, I met a lot of people……

Plus, I even got to see my parents again.

Nothing could make me happier.

……I’m, really happy.

When I was realizing this, I noticed that Shouta and the others were looking at me warmly.

“Wha,what is it……”

“No, we’re just happy that you look happy.”

“Wait, Shouta. Seiichi, your happiness shouldn’t like this! Furthermore, there is still a woman named me ―――― ”

“No, no, yes! The woman called me is also――――”

“Ah, it’s time to go home!”

“Yes”

“Eh!? A, oy, Kenji, Shota!? Let go! I’m still talking to Seiichi-kun! Besides, if I said I’ll stay here ―――― ”

“I know. But you said that we were leaving at once.”

“Yes, but now that’s ――――”

Kenji grabbed the rampaging Kannazuki-senpai by the scruff of the neck and dragged her away, then Shota and the others along with her transitioned to Earth.

As I stare dumbfounded at the scene, Airin beams with triumph.

“Fufufu…… The student council president seems to have dropped out here! Then, our exclusive time starts from here――――”

“Airi! We’re going home too!”

“Achaa! Yuka!? I’m not going home yet, you know!?”

“Yes, yes. Your parents would be worried, so let’s go home properly at once.”

“Wa,wait! Sei-chan, Sei-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!”

Waving her arms and legs around, Airin tried desperately to escape, but she was forcibly taken away by Nojima and her company and transferred to Earth, just like Shouta and his group.

Thus, when everyone’s transition is complete, the magic disappears in an instant.

…… Airin was somehow reaching out her hand until the end, but…… As Nojima said, I think they should contact their parents properly. As long as my classmates returned home by the transition in this manner, Nojima’s parents should have also recovered their memories.

In any case, I’ll have to go visit them over there for a bit, or at least get in touch with them …… or else I’m sure Airin and Kannazuki-senpai will get mad at me.

While laughing wryly at the people who were lively until the very end, it suddenly became quiet after everyone had transferred.

Then, Ranze-san, who had been watching us, opened his mouth.

“Is this, over?”

“Yes, it’s over.”

“I see. Well then, I guess I better get back to work. Louise, let’s go.”

“Yes! Master, I’ll excuse myself”

“Ah, yes”

After seeing Ranze and the others off, I suddenly look at the place where Kannazuki-senpai and the others disappeared.

It’s really over……

Since I came to this world, I have not had any clear goal in particular, and I have just lived my life as it flowed.

But with the destruction of the Demon God’s cult, the resolution of the problems of the Kaizer Empire, and the delivery of the heroes to Earth, I knew for the first time that something big had ended.

When I was dazed by such indescribable sensation, I was suddenly tapped on the back.

“What the heck are you talking about!”

“Ah, Al……”

“It’s not like you’re going to die from this, you know? And yet, you…… why are you looking like you’ve sort of burned out like that?”

“Eh, did I look like that?”

“……Hmm, you did. You had a face like you were as exhausted as it could be.”

“It’s that far!?”

I,it’s true that I was being immersed in sentimentality, but I had such a terrible face, huh……

When I touch my face unintentionally, Rurune makes a rough snort.

“That’s no good, you know, Milord! There are still many delicious foods in this world! It’s not over until I finish eating them all!”

“We,well, it’s not just limited to food, but I haven’t seen everything in this world either. That’s why, I would like to continue to see different views. Together with Seiichi-san and the others. ……”

“Rurune, Zora……”

“That’s right, Seiichi!”

Then Saria smiled as she stood in front of me.

“We’re going to make lots of fun memories together! Therefore, this is not the end!”

“Saria……”

Thinking back on it, I ate the fruit of evolution, met Saria, and now I am here.

I went from being a bullied kid to being called a winner without me even knowing it because I ate the fruit of evolution.

Of course, there is no doubt that this is all thanks to the fruit of evolution.

But more than that…… meeting Saria and the others brightened my life.

“That’s, true. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, everyday life will go on, right?”

“Yup!”

I slap both my cheeks to switch my mind.

“――――Alright! So today, for the first time in a long time, why don’t we all accept a request from the guild!”

“Oh! Isn’t that fine. You and Saria should be ranked commensurate with your abilities.”

“Milord! I prefer to eat and walk rather than to take a request!”

“……Glutton is a useless person who doesn’t work?”

“What was that!? Also, I’m a donkey!”

“A,ahahaha…… well, let’s go eat after finishing a request.”

“That’s right! What kind of request do they have? Hopefully something fun, right, Seiichi!”

“Ah!”

―――― In this way, we will continue to enjoy our lives.
