It's time to say goodbye to the estate. The young people have been away for a year, and now that they're back, everyone's happy to see them. The old man, Bero, says that it's finally time for him to come home. He apologizes for leaving the estate without telling anyone, and says that he was on the brink of using his influence to see the guild crushed. He says that if he had stayed at the guild any longer, he'd have used his money to help the guild crush. Now that he's back, he apologizes to Bero for his actions. Bero says that the only reason he came back is to let him know his decision, and that he feels that leaving without warning was a mistake. He's glad that he didn't tell anyone about it, because it would have been easier for them to have talked things over. But now, he says, "you've hurt a lot of friends . . what / need / is a place / where people accept / me fairy, and it is much better me" . He thanks everyone for their concern about him, and he thanks them all for their help.
