[Crossover] The Hero Returns for a Second Career

Blurb:

After the meteor shower that came once every fifty years, the hero Himmel passed away peacefully, surrounded by his companions. Carrying his battered sword, his glorious achievements, and his silent love for the elf, he journeyed to the heaven scholars had sought for so long and became one of its many heroes.

The years spent waiting for his companions in heaven were far too long. Unable to sit still, Himmel accepted the goddess's offer to travel to other worlds and save those mired in suffering.

And along the way, he would see many more wondrous sights.

World One // Yokohama Strange Tales:

The transcendent who ended the conflict between ability users treats everyone equally. Gentle and upright, he is the moon so many people long for but can never reach.

But the bright moon in the sky will not linger for mortals.

World Two // Tokyo Alone:

The perfect police officer assigned to the First Investigation Division gives an affirmative answer when a colleague asks one day if he's in love.

That night, the men and women of Tokyo all have their hearts broken.

World Three // Azure Sky's Eye:

A tutor from a declining noble family is a warm, accepting elder in the heart of the Six-Eyed Divine Child, someone he can rely on without restraint.

But fledgling hawks must eventually leave the nest and soar into the heavens.

World Four // Demon Slaying:

The new Thunder Hashira, promoted by the head of the Ubuyashiki family, gazes up at the Paradise Faith's leader, who has opened his fan, and reveals a fierce hatred unlike anything he's shown before.

In that moment, he recalls the demons he once slew. They used words to deceive and toy with people's hearts, utterly devoid of humanity.

Warnings:

# The protagonist is a character from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. You can still enjoy this even if you haven't read it.

# The protagonist has a very moonlike aura, but his heart has long belonged to someone else. Most of the feelings in this story are one-sided, and friendship, family, and romance are all mixed together.
