* * *

Now, let’s talk about what happened to Neverfall after that.

The Sky Kingdom of Neverfall, which made an emergency landing on the first residential plateau, ‘Farm One’.

The day this mysterious, flying country soared through the sky again never came.

Because the magic mechanism for flight was damaged beyond repair, from Atmo’s self-destruction... and the impact of the emergency landing.

With the airship construction technology passed down to the present day, it was impossible to make something with as much mass as Neverfall fly.

Another reason is that Sekiran Neverfall didn’t want it.

King Sekiran was more focused on rebuilding the lives of his people, who were thrown into chaos by Neverfall’s fall, than on making Neverfall fly again.

His energetic approach to government affairs, in stark contrast to his attitude before the fall, was well received by the people... and the political reforms led by the king are progressing smoothly.

One factor is that the core of the ‘former Prime Minister faction’, which had a strong tendency towards elitism and contempt for the ground, and was a hotbed of corruption, was completely eliminated in the aftermath of the fall.

However, it’s rumored that King Sekiran, not complacent about the current strong support from the people, is actually planning to abolish the monarchy and transition to a republic.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

What will happen to the King’s challenge...? No one knows yet.

And as for what happened to the people involved with Takataka.

First, Yuuhi was forced back into the kingdom army, with the title of ‘Chief Instructor’ thrust upon him.

He was originally forced to retire from the military due to Nabokoris’ machinations... but he quite enjoyed his degenerate days of earning a living as a bodyguard, drinking, and lazing around, so he strongly resisted returning.

But in the end, he was defeated by Ijokis with a single blow, and forcibly abducted back to the kingdom army.

And once he started working, he found it enjoyable, so he now happily trains the kingdom army soldiers and knights (including the Three Knights of the Royal Guard) every day by chasing them around and beating them up.

Ijokis returned to the palace and is working as a maid.

...On the surface, there’s nothing more to say.

But if I may add one more thing... facing a major change like the kingdom’s fall, both the surface and the shadows are short-handed.

She is working for the kingdom today as well, unknown to the public.

Nui, Lusa, and Litto are as usual.

They seem to be happily doing their thing, the three of them.

And then.

Takataka and Air.

“Phew... Loading, complete!”

Takataka, stuffing wooden crates filled with Mekena bacon into the Small Mouse’s cargo hold, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a bright smile.

Takataka immediately canceled the takeoff, and hurriedly opened the door.

And then!

The one who jumped into the ship from behind the door, which opened with a ‘Gachari’ sound, and hugged Takataka, was...

“Takatakaaaa! Long time no seeーーー!”

“Wah!?”

...Air Neverfall... who should be busy studying at the palace, receiving princess education!

“A-Air!? Wh-Why are you here!? What about your studies!?”

“I ran away!”

“Haa!?”

Takataka, lying on his back on the cockpit floor from the force of her hug, blinked his eyes in confusion.

Air, straddling Takataka, with a mischievous smile, started saying something absurd!

“Every day, it’s all studies, studies, princess, princess... it’s so stifling, I couldn’t take it anymore! And father, he’s been ignoring me all this time, and now he’s overly protective! He’s so extreme! I don’t want to be a princess anymore!”

“No, well... Air, I understand you’re frustrated, but... that doesn’t mean you can just run away like before...”

Takataka, although flustered and stammering, gave this energetic princess some very common sense advice.

But Air wouldn’t listen!

Jumping up, she got off of Takataka, sat down in the pilot seat as if it were her own, and then...

“Now, let’s goooーーー!!”

She took off in the Small Mouse!

“Ah—whoa!? W-Waitーーー!?”

Takataka hurriedly closed the cockpit door, grabbed the steering wheel, and started controlling the unstable aircraft!

“Come on, Takataka! Take me outside of the Eserem Sea of Fog! This is the beginning of our great adventure!”

“Eeeeeeeehーーー!?”

...And so, the Small Mouse soared into the sky again.

Beyond that was the clear blue sky that stretched out as far as the eye could see.
