Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan 12 -END-
The future of the world is in your hands, Rick. But its fate is not on your shoulders. It came into form because of the convergence of everyone's feelings. If everyone's feelings are intertwined, the world may live on. So pick up your legendary sword of blandness, spread your wings and fight the random lizard boss to save the girl who in fact isn't even from this world we're talking so much about and has no influence upon it whatsoever.
We'll aid you with random runic barriers and the shot from an immobile cannon that's under the dwarf's house which was apparently built only for this moment. Oh, and the girl with no memories of her past? She'll start giving her mechanical guardian doll orders through telepathy. And the pirates are just showing off - they have no purpose.
The barriers protecting the sky are the most useful ones.
Hey, there was an explosion and something blue flew! Let's all celebrate!
"I'm basically dead, Kaguya." "Hmm, something smells good!" "Must be the bread I was keeping in my pants this whole time!"
I hid it between my balls.
"It's delicious!" "Of course! It's the bread of happiness, after all." "Did you make it?" "No." "It isn't yours?" "Yup." "But did someone else other than you make it?" "That's right." "So that means you didn't bake it?" "Yes." "Why won't you bake anymore?" "Because I'm freaking dying." "You're just like me, then. I don't want to hurt others! I wonder why. I'm happy I was born. The sun and wind feels great! That's alright with me. I'm tired now. I don't want to look at anything anymore. Rick, you're tired, right? You can sleep here, until you want to wake up." "Might as well."
The guy in the harp will now write a new song in homage to your actions, Rick. Because whilst bearing the desires of every soul, this world continues to spin, like an endless dream, brimming with color. And so we are waiting to wake up. But it'll hurt when we do!
"Rick accomplished something I can't even begin to comprehend," says the prince. But it's actually pretty simple. He almost died in a sword fight against a huge lizard, then his stone started shining, and finally something blue flew. What's not to understand? I guess it doesn't matter, though, since this is just the beginning. "Will Rick forgive me for giving him all this castle's treasures, though?"
"Rick, please come back soon!" "Erm, I'm right here. Baking."
"The temperature of the oven is different today, huh? There are hot days, and there are cold days." "That's true, but getting the right temperature isn't hard. And the quality of the flame is what matters!" "Are there good and bad flames?!" "Yeah! You need a good flame to make delicious bread!" "You blow my mind." "Wanna know more?" "I want to, but... Will I understand it?" "A skill is a map based on the failures of the people who tried doing something before. A map can guide people. If you follow a certain route, you'll fail. But if you follow another route, you'll succeed. Just follow the map, and it'll take form. It must be very hard to walk the way others have told you to! But it can be easy too. But if you follow their path, one day you'll have to stop. Will you create your own path then? Or will you wait until someone creates it for you? Either is ok. Stopping or moving forward, who cares."
And so we learned everything there is to know about the difference between good and bad flames.
Truly a wonderful, fruitful journey, this one was. I mean, the pirate left the old chick alone with their kid to search for One Piece; the cat girl fixed a doll and a bell; the dwarf wandered aimlessly among rubble; the elves ate bread - all their compelling arcs ended in really satisfying ways. What happened to Kaguya? Who cares! I sure as hell don't.
Have some bread.
