The Beginning After the End (最強の王様、二度目の人生は何をする？)

Arthur!

Welcome home!

Are you okay? Have you healed?

Are you feeling fine?

I'm really happy just seeing you come back home safe.

I…

I'm sorry for always making you worry, Mom.

All right, you're good.

Thanks, Mom.

Okay, you're next in line.

Oh, but…

No need to be shy.

O-Okay.

A skilled Emitter…

An AA-rank adventurer

and former leader of the Twin Horns…

What's wrong?

I understand a bit better why you are so strong.

Your parents are quite impressive.

Right?

Right!

I really envy you.

We'll be going now.

We'll be going.

-I want to go too! -Not today.

Why?!

-It's bonding time between two men. -I want to go too!

Okay, let's review today's quest.

What's our objective?

Shopping for my daily necessities.

What are the conditions?

Staying within budget.

Okay. That's my Elijah.

But are you really sure?

It's not just about getting into the Academy,

but you've done so much for me.

It's okay.

This is almost too cheap to thank the person who saved my life.

If you say that, I must thank you as well.

If it weren't for you, I'd be left dead in the depths of that cave.

Elijah…

Yeah, I guess you have to work hard for me until you die.

Hey!

I'm just kidding.

Wait!

Hey, I'm serious! I don't know my way around this city!

You trying to get me lost?!

Oh?

Catch.

Looks like your wounds are okay now.

Yeah, sorry.

Not sorry.

Thanks for waiting until I healed.

It's okay. The next quest looks like it's going to be a bit of a challenge.

Best to wait until you get back.

Say what you have in mind, will you?

Could you give me some time before we leave?

There's something I want to do.

Got it.

Really?

How long do you think I've teamed up with you?

I can see right through what my dear little sister is thinking.

Yeah.

I can't see ahead…

Okay, next up…

Arthur! That's enough!

Let's take a break.

Huh?

I feel revived!

That's overselling it.

Then you should've helped me carry the things.

Why not use your dimensional ring?

Hm?

What?

That's right!

You can be forgetful sometimes, huh?

Which one do you like better, apples or pears?

Apples.

Pears.

Well, I'm team pears.

It's gotta be apples!

Pears can't go wrong! What are you…

Let's go.

Yeah.

Tell me what you know about Note!

Hey! Are you listening?!

Why you…

You, a mere guild master, dare to defy me?

With the formation of the Three Alliance,

the Adventurers' Guild began accepting members from other nations and races,

and its rules became stricter than ever before.

Don't assume things will be as usual just because you belong to the Wykes family.

Say what?

You are not even an adventurer now.

Do you really think I'd humor the whim of a civilian like you?

Damn! You'll pay for this!

Damn it all! Curses!

Young Master…

He thinks he can make a fool out of me?

It's all his fault… That prick Note!

Please calm down.

Shut up! We're going home!

Sir!

But Shiun is still…

To hell with him!

Young Master!

There is no relevant information.

Jasmine Flamesworth…

Part of the Twin Horns, is she?

What's that?

It's not food.

But I'm hungry.

I can smell something delicious since earlier.

This?

Yeah!

Don't be mean, give me that already!

Not this one. I want to investigate it more.

Other than that… What should I do with this?

Brother, Papa's calling you.

Oh, thanks, Eleanor.

You're welcome.

Jasmine?

Looks like they're heading out now.

Huh?

This quest takes us a little further away. We won't see each other for some time.

Is that so…

I knew this would happen.
