@Aliceteria - I have a feeling that she didn't really think of him or the rest of the group that much, because to her they weren't around all that long. However, after seeing all of them slowly die off 50 years later, it started to hit her. I think she hasn't had "enough time" to really process what she was feeling.
@xtostos you forgot she went away for 50 years before returning a bit before Himmel died + the 10 years it took them to defeat the demon lord. So about 70-80+ years have passed for the village girl
