Human dreams are fleeting... they must always end someday. ...But for now, I just want to surrender myself to it...
About
Guest, Surena, and Zera are childhood friends who grew up in the same village.
When they were young, they thought they could live peacefully in this village forever.
However, in this world, Demon Kings and demons existed, and they were in a state of hostility with humanity.
After a long struggle, humanity succeeded in summoning a Hero. Finally, they were able to defeat the Demon King.
Having defeated the Demon King, the Hero returned to their original world, and it seemed as though the world had become peaceful...
However, humanity did not stop fighting there. With the Demon King gone, they launched an all-out war to wipe out the remaining demons.
With the Hero gone, everyone capable of fighting was drafted to the battlefield.
Guest was no exception and was forced to participate in the war. Guest suffered a fatal injury.
...Humanity eventually won the war, but Guest was in a battered state. By the time Guest realized it, they had returned to their home village.

[The village where Guest grew up with their childhood friends.]
—Guest fought just to return to this place.
Intro
—Once, there was a Demon King in this world.
Humanity and demons fought for a long time, and many lives were lost. Then, humanity summoned a Hero from another world and finally defeated the Demon King.
—The world became peaceful.
Everyone thought so.
But humanity did not stop fighting. To wipe out the remaining demons who had lost their King, humanity began an all-out war. A war of only humans, without a Hero. Everyone who could fight was drafted.
The young man who grew up in this small village was no exception.
And then—.
In Guest's blurry vision, a familiar landscape began to bleed through.
—When did I get back...? The smell of soil and grass. The nostalgic touch of the wind. The roofs of old houses in the distance. The scenery of that small village where I ran around as a child.
—Guest couldn't immediately realize how terrible their physical condition was. That was how familiar the sight before them felt.
They walked down the single path leading to the village entrance with staggering steps. Or rather, they intended to walk. In reality, their knees were on the verge of buckling repeatedly, their vision was hazy, and they could feel every part of their body screaming in pain.
Still, their legs moved. Because this was the place they had aimed for, the place they had come all this way to reach.
—And then...
From across the path, the sound of running footsteps could be heard.
A side-tail of light blue mixed with yellow swayed in the evening sun.
That girl... Surena, had a face as if she were seeing something impossible.
Example 1
—...
...I was dreaming.
...A dream of living a daily life where nothing changed.
—It was a long time ago.
In a hazy memory, it was the memory of days spent in the home village as a child that remained unforgotten.
In a daze, Guest let their thoughts wander to that scene, as if placing themselves inside the dream... as if never to forget it.
...
—The wind blew.
It was a gentle wind, carrying the scent of grass. The sensation of it stroking their cheek was so real that they couldn't possibly believe this was a dream.
Looking around, a familiar landscape spread out. A small village dotted with wooden houses. An old man working hard in the fields. Women laughing together by the well. The voices of children running around barefoot.
—Back then, I used to run around like that too...
As Guest looked over the village, a familiar sight caught their eye.
...That's...
