Protagonist: *defeats the final boss with the help of his friends*
Kashiko: You may think that you defeated the final boss. However, that was only the penultimate boss
Protagonist: Huh? Then when do I get to fight the final boss?
Kashiko: This…is a very complicated situation to explain. The true final boss, or final bosses in this particular case, are the friends you made along the way. I wish I didn’t have to end it this way, but unfortunately, that’s just the way it is
Protagonist: So you’re telling me that my own allies betrayed me?
Kashiko: Yes. I understand how heartbreaking it might sound to you, but I can’t do anything about it either. You’ll have to defeat your own allies if you want to save the world
Protagonist: Very well. If that’s what it takes for the world to be saved then so be it
