Between saving Sophia and helping people out, the protagonist has ended up being worshipped as a Divine Beast. As embarrassing as that is, it's not too bad... Meanwhile, Shun's group arrives at the elf village and encounters someone they thought was long gone. As preparations for war are underway, Shun's party is met with suspicion, even Filimøs, who is an elf herself. But then, Shun is reunited with some old friends.
I am traveling a long lonely 
lonesome road of lonerness!
!أنا أسلك طريقاً مُوحشاً طويلاً بينما أنا وحيدة
Ich wandle einsam über den einsamen Pfad
der Einsamkeit der Einsamen!
¡Soy la encarnación de la soledad!
¡Soy la encarnación de la soledad!
Je suis une solitaire de l’extrême !
Sono l'apoteosi dell'asocialità!
Eu venho aprimorando
no caminho da solidão!
Я стремлюсь к абсолютному одиночеству!
