"At last, the four of them embarked on their journey amidst everyone's farewell." Gray closed the book and let out a sigh of relief. It took him a whole month to sporadically tell the legends of Raul and Sasa to his youngest son.

"Where is Uncle Raul now?"

"They should be in a place just as beautiful as our little town."

"Hmm... Will Uncle Raul come back?"

"Daddy doesn't know... Raul is different from us."

Gray, now thirty-eight years old, had two children, a boy and a girl. Unlike Simmon, who remained unmarried and dedicated himself to the black market, Gray married the girl he had fallen in love with. This was mainly because all affairs became simple due to peaceful and friendly relations, and there was no need to consider hiding gold coins or avoiding border troops like Simmon did.

Gray compiled the experiences of Raul, Sasa, Wolfrang, Leya, Simmon, Park, and others into a book. Although Raul himself had provided some narration, most of the information came from Park and the recollections of older townspeople. Almost every adult would tell their children the stories of Raul and Sasa because they were real and significant, unlike the boring mainstream stories of the past in the kingdom.

But Gray also wrote a sentence that Raul had warned him about on the first page of the book.

"The love between me and Sasa cannot be replicated. So when you feel like you've fallen in love with a monster, please consider what I did and what Sasa did."

Just as his freckled-faced younger son was about to ask Gray some tricky questions, Hwart's appearance saved Gray.

"Uncle Fluffy!"

Although Hwart's status had reached the level of his brother Wolfrang, he did not have a cool nickname like Wolfrang. Three years of post-war stable development had led to a population increase, and there were more children in Night Fall Town. Hwart himself loved children and often played and frolicked with three or five kids. The children also loved this furry giant, so over time, Hwart, the younger brother of "Mr. Gray," gained the nickname "Uncle Fluffy."

If Raul and Sasa were still here, they would definitely tease Hwart with this nickname every day.

"Little Harry, you've grown taller again."

The werewolf picked up Gray's son, and Harry's small hand patted Hwart's dark brown fur and disappeared in an instant.

"Hwart, I'm going to the kingdom tomorrow to help take care of the town's stable."

"Okay, go ahead."

Nowadays, it only took two hours to travel from Night Fall Town to the kingdom. The black market route that had been passed down for centuries had transformed from dirt roads trampled by horse hooves to sturdy railways. By taking the train, one could enjoy the scenery of the entire southern plain and greatly facilitate the transportation of goods. This railway was the greatest achievement of the cooperation between Night Fall Town and Kingdom Inslay in over a decade.

On the train, there were not only humans but also succubi, werewolves, orcs, and other passengers. If you were lucky, you might even see a spider witch elegantly drinking wine while occupying three seats.

However, regardless of the changes in transportation for the black market, the front train carriage still had a large signboard depicting a black sun, and the deep and solemn sound of the horn remained the only indication of arrival.

Is there any disharmony in such a peaceful world?

The answer is yes, and currently the most serious problem is that the number of succubi is no longer increasing. After the war, there were only 193 remaining succubi, and this number has not changed. Succubi are creatures that transformed from fallen women, but in this era, there are basically no fallen women anymore, so succubi suddenly became rare monsters similar to Medusa.

Fortunately, succubi have extremely long lifespans, so although their numbers will not increase, they will not decrease for the time being.

Speaking of succubi, Ned and his old flame succubus have become a couple and ran away together without a penny. It took them five years to create a new world in the kingdom. Ned's parents also recognized their love and no longer interfered.

In addition to this couple, another couple is the pink Medusa referred to as "sister-in-law" by Raul and her husband. Compared to Ned, this husband has gone through much more terrifying trials. Due to the lessons learned from Raul and Sasa, the leader of Medusa almost demanded this male counterpart according to all of Raul's standards, and you can imagine the specific situation. There was even a rumor that anyone who fell in love with Medusa must first stab himself in the stomach to demonstrate loyalty.

In addition, having learned a lesson, in order to protect their potential future daughter, Medusa's husband must marry into the family.

It is not known whether Raul's feats gave birth to this warrior or if this man is just a pure gentlemen under control, but when asked why he fell in love with Medusa, he said, "I fell in love with the most beautiful creature in the world, no, the most beautiful work of art."

Gray's appearance is now becoming more and more like Simmon, and his clothing is becoming more mature and stable. Currently, Night Fall Town only has two black market seals left, one in Gray's hands and the other kept by Park. Compared to Gray, Sir Bo who is going to meet tomorrow looks a bit older. They are both in their sixties, but Park looks young while Sir Bo's beard has started to turn white. After all, the affairs of the kingdom are several times heavier than those of Night Fall Town, even with the help of the representative council of all social classes to share the burden, the pressure is still too great.

Now Sir Bo always drinks alone at night, muttering Raul's name.

The orc lord is also nearly 160 years old, and the lifespan of orcs is between that of werewolves and humans. 160 years old is already considered old. But the orc lord himself says that he has seen everything he wanted to see and met everyone he wanted to meet while he was alive, so he is very content.

Yes, the orcs have finally begun to live in brick houses and have learned to grow crops and raise cattle. They no longer need to confront the kingdom's army.

As for the successor of the orc lord, there are rumors that it could be Ulum or the orc lord's daughter, but the former is generally considered more reliable. This is because during the great war, Ulum learned a lot from Raul.

Of course, there are also monsters that gradually disappear from people's sight. Vampires disappeared before the war even ended, and now, aside from the older succubi, hardly anyone knows about that sharp-toothed elder sister. Saprovore's territory has also become off-limits, and no humans or monsters disturb Augus' mud baths for a whole year. And there is the mud girl, whom only Park occasionally goes to see, although it is unknown how many times Park can visit her.

Just as Raul said, "There will always be people willing to stay by your side, and there will always be people destined to be passers-by."

But Simmon and Granny Bonare still remain in everyone's hearts even though they have passed away. The witches live in the southwest corner of Night Fall Town, following the teachings of the Witch's House and helping those in need. Simmon's rifle hangs on the wall behind the bar counter like a treasured possession, silently watching over the bar patrons in place of Simmon.

"Raul, Sasa, Wolfrang, Leya, we'll always be waiting for your return."

Gray said to himself in his heart as he stepped onto the train bound for the kingdom.
