The Hero Returns Taking Gahard prisoner, Hajime's group travel back to Verboten where they return the enslaved beastfolk back to their families. In the occasion, Gahard refuses to make peace with the other races, affirming that his accord only applies to the Haulias, and Hajime sends him back home via teleportation. The council of races also ask Cam to join them, but he refuses. Later at night, Shea brings Hajime to her mother's resting place where he thanks her for meeting Shea and the two spend some time together. The next day, the group sets for the Great Tree, whose labyrinth is now accessible after Hajime had cleared several other labyrinths previously. In the post credits, Hajime awakens in the human world with his body restored to his original form, next to Yue.
