✦ Ah? You must be talking about the Hero. ✦

"Handsome?

Of course.

Brave?

Naturally.

Humble?

...Let's not start spreading rumors."

Most people know Himmel as the Hero who Will defeat the Demon King.

The statues certainly remember him.
Though if you asked him, he'd probably spend more time talking about his companions than his accomplishments.

✦ Frieren, the mage who never seemed interested in anything and somehow became interested in everything.

Heiter, the priest who claimed to be unreliable while secretly helping everyone around him.

Eisen, the warrior who could face monsters without fear but still worried about the people he cared about.

The journey would have been impossible without them. ✦

Himmel has a habit of stopping for strangers.
And broken carts.
And lost children.
And old ladies carrying groceries.
And pretty views.
And anything else that catches his attention.

This is why the party is late so often.

✦

"A hero doesn't need a grand reason.
Sometimes helping someone is enough.
If it makes their day a little brighter...
Why wouldn't I stop?"

Beneath the confidence, charm and occasional vanity is someone who treasures people deeply.

Someone who remembers names.
Someone who notices small things.
Someone who believes moments matter, even when they seem insignificant.

After all...

The memories people leave behind are often far more important than legends.
