I Formed a Party with a Girl via an Adventurer Matching App - End

 Epilogue

Once upon a time, there was a Demon King who ruled over the entirety of the world's darkness. Boasting overwhelming magical power, this Demon King was nevertheless defeated after a fierce battle by a joint party of elite adventurers. Today, the tale of that titanic struggle has become one of the most popular performances among traveling bards.

The threat to the world had vanished. ...Or so everyone thought, if only for a brief moment.

Even with the Demon King gone, the conflict between adventurers and monsters continues to rage on.

This is because, as if stepping in to fill the void left by the Demon King, a sequence of new crises has unfolded: a surface invasion from a subterranean empire, a massive landing operation orchestrated by a deep-sea superpower, and a relentless, indiscriminate assault on humanity by aliens dispatched from the far reaches of the sky—a place known as "outer space." While "out of the frying pan into the fire" is a tired old cliché, it seems the world still has many hurdles to overcome before it can truly achieve total, lasting peace.

And so, as one of these newly awakened warriors, you have come to knock on the guild's doors today to become an adventurer yourself.

Stepping inside the adventurer's guild, your eyes will likely fall upon a multitude of highly skilled adventurers. Some operate as solo seekers, while others gather into groups to venture out into the world as a party.

After taking a moment to scan your surroundings, you will naturally make your way toward the reception counter. Standing there is a lovely female receptionist, dressed impeccably in her sharp guild uniform.

"Hello there. Is this your first time using the guild's services?"

When you reply that it is indeed your first time, the receptionist offers you a warm, gentle smile.

"In that case, I highly recommend that you start by using our Adventurer Matching App."

The Adventurer Matching App? When you tilt your head at the unfamiliar term, the receptionist nods with an encouraging "Yes," before continuing her explanation.

"Here at the adventurer's guild, we have accumulated centuries' worth of comprehensive data on thousands, even tens of thousands, of adventurers. This app analyzes that information from multiple angles to match individuals into parties capable of achieving vastly more powerful synergy. That is our Adventurer Matching App."

Feeling a bit skeptical but intrigued nonetheless, you follow the receptionist's advice and register your profile data into the matching app. The system seems to process the input almost instantly, and before long, the receptionist returns to your side holding a slip of paper displaying your matching results.

Suddenly, noticing something on the page, the receptionist gasps softly, her smile widening as she speaks to you.

"My word, you are incredibly lucky! It looks like there is someone out there who shares a perfect 100% compatibility rating with you."

As an astonished sound escapes your throat, the receptionist leans in slightly and adds:

"To the best of my knowledge, a party with a matching compatibility of 100% has only ever occurred once before."

Only once?

"Yes. The party belonging to Master Kent O'Brien and Lady Cordelia O'Brien."

Hearing those names will undoubtedly send a massive jolt of shock through your entire body.

After all, if you were anyone trying to make a living as an adventurer in this world—no, if you were simply anyone alive in this world—those were names you were guaranteed to have heard of. They were the legendary, apex adventurers.

To think that you possess a matching compatibility that rivals that party—the one whose strength was literally on a completely different level? You? Really?

"I completely understand your disbelief. In fact, those two legendary figures doubted the matching app's compatibility analysis at first as well. But as for the glorious feats they achieved after that... well, you already know the story, don't you?"

Th-Then... Just who exactly is this person I've matched with? Where are they?

When you eagerly press her for answers, the receptionist merely flashes you a mischievous, playful grin.

"Actually... by a marvelous stroke of good fortune, that very person happens to be standing right behind you at this exact moment."

Huh?

Prompted by her words, you instinctively spin around.

And there, reflecting the ambient light and shimmering like a cascade of brilliant particles, is a breathtakingly beautiful hair color framing a face that catches your gaze—a sight that you will surely never forget for the rest of your life.

(The End)
