It is useless.
I am this very world, a sword cannot cut me down.
Then, I'll just have to destroy the entire world.
Sword, use it!
Yeah!
Golden Knight.
I don't want anyone else to die.
So please lend me power!
I want to protect Sword! Everyone!
I missed the gate because of you.
What're you going to do about this, huh?
The contract I had with the ring is now gone.
So, now, I am here, free from orders and of my own volition!
My very soul existed for this very moment!
Let us settle this once and for all, Golden Knight!
Damn, until the very end...
Guess I'll just have to teach you...
What real strength is.
Gina. Luke.
Sophie. You did well.
Yeah, thanks.
So, what about Sword?
Where is Sword?
What a waste
With that much strength, we could've faced Makai itself
and destroyed all Horrors from the source!
Such a waste.
With your strength, you could have carved your name
amongst the strongest of all time. For all eternity!
My strength is not for myself.
My entire being is for those who cannot fight for themselves.
As well as for stopping people like you!
Golden Knight!
It was a good battle.
I had fun,
Golden Knight!
Hey, where's Sword?
Why? Why hasn't Sword come back yet?!
Hey, Gina!
Hey, Luke!
Gina! Answer me!
No! No! Let me go! Let me go! Sword!
Sword!
Sword is still there!
I have to go back! I have to go back!
I have to save Sword!
L-Luke...
Sword asked me to do this after everything was over.
Hey, Gina. Stop! Stop!
Please!
Good-bye, Sophie.
Gina!
A year has passed since the hurricane devastated Russell City
and the pace of reconstruction has continued to increase.
Regarding the simultaneous world-wide network compromise,
official reports have been released...
Mr. Brooks!
How is everyone doing?
What's with all that stuff?!
Early Christmas presents for good children!
Sophie! Mr. Brooks brought us presents!
Sophie!
Yeah. I'm coming.
Everyone in the neighborhood pitched in. It's not much, but...
About the new administrator for this facility...
A decision is finally being made.
Really? Thank goodness...
The church will contact us tomorrow.
Sorry for making you all anxious all year.
No, it's fine.
It's lonely without Sister,
but we can overcome anything if we work together.
Everyone has helped us so much.
Since you're the oldest, it must have been tough on you.
I'm fine.
My brother is watching over me.
Four years ago, my brother died in an accident.
And Sister, who helped me get through that pain,
is no longer here.
But I still have all the memories right here.
Sophie is spacing out again.
I'm not!
Did you get a new crush? Who?
That's not it.
Hey, who is it! Could it be Andrew?
I'm telling you, it's not!
From now on, with everyone,
I want to keep making new memories.
Hey. I still think it was better to call and get it delivered.
We won't be able to carry all of this.
The restaurants are busy because of Christmas. Don't act like a brat.
Hey, I wonder what we're having tonight? I want to eat meat!
I'm sick of cod stew. I want to eat some beef steak!
Right, Sophie?
Sophie, are you listening?
Hey, Sophie.
Hm?
It's gotta be Andrew.
It's not!
Wait!
Hey, Sophie. We should have beef steak for dinner.
No, we're having cod stew.
What?!
I have everyone here with me.
I have people watching over us as well as family I need to care for.
So, I'm fine.
But, I wonder why.
I feel like I've lost something. Something very important.
S-Sophie, I'm sorry.
Don't play in a place like this!
Go clean your rooms properly!
Okay!
Ouch!
What is it, Sophie?
Sophie, what's wrong?
It's here! For sure! Somewhere!
You looking for something? What is it?
S-Sophie?
What's that? A pendant?
Sophie?!
Are you okay?
Sorry!
That I didn't remember you...
I'm sorry...
...Sword!
Welcome!
Gina.
Oh, my. So, you remembered after all,
Sophie.
Thanks for waiting!
Take your time!
Looks like Luke's "rain" couldn't beat the power that saved the world.
Are you sure?
Your feelings within that stone is what made you recall your memories.
But, if the current you can't handle those memories...
Is Sword okay?
The Golden Knight doesn't die.
Not by something like that.
He's fine. He's great. Though he's out right now.
Thank goodness. Thank goodness!
Gina, tell me something.
Hm?
How do you become a Makai Alchemist?
I know that you all erased my memories for my sake.
It hurts. Really bad.
All the things I've done can never be undone.
But... But...
I don't want to turn it all into an illusion!
I don't know what I can do or even if I can really do it.
But, if I can protect even one more person from becoming like me...!
I'm sure the memories of my brother will live within me.
I will definitely become stronger.
I'll become stronger and meet Sword again.
So, you've decided.
Yes.
Thanks for waiting!
Per the boss, this is on the house!
Whoa!
If that's the case, please continue your patronage here.
Table two, chili shrimp and five egg yakisoba!
Where table six sticky rice dumpling?!
Aiya, we forgot.
Hurry! Jeez!
You hurry, too! That table four, right?! Jeez.
Oh. Sorry about that.
Goodness!
Jeez! Lately it's peaceful so everyone getting so lazy!
Peace reigns the land. A good thing.
He better not become lazy with his one-man journey.
Him again? You really took a liking to him.
I'm going to clean here! Grandpa go home!
That Meifang.
Lately she's been so prickly. What happened to her?!
Right?
I agree.
You've gotten old.
Makai Alchemist Fei Long.
Did you prepare some good booze?
Looks like it's going to be a fun night tonight.
Truly, a splendid pile of trash.
You were able to go all out, so I'm sure you're pretty satisfied.
Well, then. I haven't been free in a while.
Where should I go play?
Thank you very much!
Did the flavor of your hamburgers drop?
What is that boss of yours doing?!
Thank you very much!
Sophie, let's go.
Yeah.
Wait for me, Sword.
I'll definitely go and see you someday.
That boss...
They used me to test a new menu item!
Hm?
Excuse me.
