The war finally ended, and once I reunited with my friends, we had a small talk, some were worried I had died or something, but finally seeing my face seemed to have soothed their worries.

"Blake! You're alright!" Eric cried.

"What a relief…" Alberta sighed.

"I knew he wouldn't die so easily, why were you so worried anyways?" Erdrich smiled a bit. 

"Hmph, well, that Archdemon is gone now, shall we go back to Monica's domain then?" Elfriedden wondered. "I'm exhausted myself! I need a warm bath too, and a comfortable bed. If I don't get a good rest my hair is going to become a mess!"

"For being such a prideful man you're quite girly sometimes." Chris teased him, laughing.

"G-Girly?! What's wrong with caring about my hair and skin? It is only natural for someone so handsome as me! You're ugly so you obviously don't get it." Elfriedden said.

"Who are you calling ugly?! You damn…!" Chris quickly started pulling his long ears. "I'm gonna pull these to see how long they get!"

"AGH! Unhand me you beast!" Elfriedden started kicking his stomach.

"Blake! I was so worried!"

"I'm so happy you're okay…"

Erika and Elizabeth both hugged and kissed me a lot, they were quite afraid of my untimely end, but they shouldn't had worried, there was no way I would had died in that moment.

"Calm down, it's alright." I smiled, caressing both of their long and silky hair. "I wouldn't have died at all against such a pathetic foe."

"You're so overconfident as usual…" Erika sighed. "But I guess you did not die! You earned yourself a hundred kisses! Mooch, mooch!" 

Erika quickly started covering my face with kisses, especially kissing my lips a couple of times…

"E-Erika, do you have to take all the attention from him?!" Elizabeth got slightly jealous. "I also want to give him kisses…" She blushed a bit.

"Calm down, there's not a big line, it's just you two…" I laughed, letting them do as they pleased for once. "Erika is just like that, don't worry." I gave her a kiss in her lips. 

"O-Okay, I guess…" Elizabeth blushed even more. "A-Are we getting married, right? After all of this, you sure are taking my hand!"

"Huh? What with that question out of nowhere?" I wondered.

"Yeah!" Erika agreed too.

"W-Well… After all these big events… I just fear that we might die at any moment, so I wanted a confirmation just in case… I know we're still too young for that." Elizabeth crossed her arms.

"Heh, you're sure quite a cutie, though it takes you a bit of time to let that cute side out." I giggled, caressing her beautiful face. "Of course, if that's what you want, we will get married."

"Me too, right?!" Erika asked.

"Of course." I nodded, caressing her beautiful face too. "I'm truly blessed to have both of you at my side, but now… Ugh, I'm quite tired. Can't we move the cuddling and kissing for later?"

I have sure grown softer with these two adorable girls constantly trying to love me, so I am extremely weak to them. I can't believe I agreed to such a thing so fast… Oh well, my fate has been sealed now.

"R-Right! Let's go back home, we shouldn't be talking these things in such a lugubrious place…" Elizabeth got embarrassed.

"Y-Yeah! Hahaha…" Erika was also embarrassed.

The two had quickly noticed all our friends were spectating the whole thing, feeling much more embarrassed than usual too.

"You guys are fine! And is the Demon Overlord dead already?!"

Suddenly, Monica and her party just arrived, bringing forth a large group of people behind them.

"Oh, Monica!" Erika said. "Are you okay?"

"She seems to be bringing a lot of people…" Elizabeth said. "Oh, did she rescued everyone while we were fighting?"

"Yeah!" Monica sighed in relief as she gasped for air once she arrived here. "Phew… Looks like the demons are finally gone too! Y-You actually did it… I can't believe it… Hahahha… The Demon Overlord that nobody dared to fight, you defeated it!"

"I told you that we would do it." I smiled. "I hope you can trust me more from now on."

"Of course… I feel so bad recalling how bratty and stupid I was against you back then…" Monica bowed her head. "I'm sincerely sorry, with all my heart!"

"It's fine, I don't hold any grudges… Usually." I said, waving my hand.

"This must be Blake then…" Suddenly, a very tall old man wearing black robes, with a short black beard and long, messy black hair stepped in, glaring at me with his sharp, purple-colored eyes.

"Y-Yeah! Blake, this is my dad! He was alive and well!" Monica smiled.

"I see, good then." I nodded. "Nice to meet you, sir."

"…" He glared at me with intense eyes, but then kneeled before me, bowing his head. "Thank you so much for saving whatever was left of our territory, and killing the demons… Without you… everything would had ended even more tragically…" He started crying on the spot.

"F-Father?!" Monica was surprised that her prideful father had lowered himself so much.

"Monica, bow down as well! He's your savior!" He said.

"Don't feel forced to bow down." I said. "Stand up, you're someone that is leading a small country, you shouldn't be lowering yourself like this. I've saved you, yes, but that was in exchange of products and money, I didn't do it as a favor. So there's nothing to thank me for."

"E-Even then…!" Monica's father muttered. "Thank you…"

"Well, you can thank us by giving us a good meal, we're starving. Let's go back to your territory right away. There's little to do in this ruined city." I said. "The demons might be gone, but most of the largest cities are all ruined, it will take a very long while to reconstruct everything back to its former glory."

"C-Certainly… And we barely hold much capital or personnel either." He sighed. "Silvertide Kingdom is as good as dead…"

"Is it?" I smiled. "If money is what you need, I do have a lot of ideas we could discuss together while having a meal."

"Hoh?" Monica's father quickly grew interested. "Do tell me more…"
