[A Day Later]

"See ya later, Rose! Take care!" I said, waving. I turned to look at Ore. "You too."

Orlin smirked. "I should be tell you that. You're the one going on a dangerous mission."

I shrugged. "Eh, I can handle it." I winked at him. "Besides, you gotta stay here to make sure Rose is okay."

"You don't need to worry about me," Rose said, sighing. "I'll be fine."

"Yeah, she has us!" Sil said, grinning.

Milo laughed and patted his little cousin's head. "You're a good little knight."

Rose chuckled. "That he is."

Koyuki sighed. "Wish we could've stayed a little longer, but there's no time. We have to get back to Nokian."

Rose nodded. "Indeed." She smiled. "But you should come back and visit again."

"We will!" Koyuki said, waving.

Milo grinned. "I sure will! I mean, this is my hometown, after all."
