Slayers - Volume 2 - Chapter Ep

Epilogue

The sky was clear and blue, the streets busy and bustling. It was a day like any other.

“It’s almost like... nothing ever happened,” I muttered.

“Rare to see you so quiet,” Gourry said as he mussed my hair.

“Hey, don’t mess with my hair! And excuse me for being quiet.”

“Sorry! It’s just... seeing you like this feels like a bad omen somehow.”

“What am I, a flying pig?”

Gourry and I were currently headed down the main avenue toward the city’s east gate.

It had been ten days since that night. We’d both managed to heal up, and we finished all the remaining cleanup yesterday... Though, really, Rubia had already taken care of the worst of it.

Once Lantz was on his feet again, he took his leave of the city. Said something about sightseeing in Sairaag.

As for Daymia... I had no idea what happened to him. The legends said that those afflicted with Raugnut Rushavna couldn’t die until the caster—Seigram, in this case—was eradicated. The bigwigs in the sorcerers’ council were pretty evasive when I asked about it, though...

Then there was Rubia. She was subjected to a scathing inquiry at first for her role in abetting Halciform. I interceded with a threat-laced defense, however, and got them to realize that poor Rubia would’ve just become another victim if she’d snitched. Moreover, she was the one who ultimately stopped him. So, in the end, the council went easy on her and that was that.

I still don’t know the exact details of her relationship with Halciform. Maybe she would’ve been happy to talk about it, but for some reason, I couldn’t ever bring myself to ask.

Now, as for the two of us...

“Well, where shall we head next?” Gourry asked me.

We had no particular destination in mind. We were free to go wherever we wanted. I’d heard rumors about a kerfuffle going down in Saillune City, so I thought it could be fun to poke around there. It might also be nice to go visit my hometown in Zephilia for the first time in a while.

Hmm, that got me wondering where Gourry hailed from... Well, no matter.

“I dunno. Let’s figure it out on the way,” I said with a wink.

Thus we left Atlas City behind.
