The bell rings and birds and flowers dance in the sky.

Many applaud and cheer under the clear blue sky to celebrate.

Going down the long stairs in front of the palace, Gustav, the groom who was more daunting than anyone else, and Ludo, the bride who was more beautiful than anyone else, were just smiling happily.

"It's beautiful...."

"Oh, really...."

From the special seat on the palace balcony, while looking down at the happy scene together, Shenya-kun next door looked at me ─ ─ and then he glanced at the tears that spilled.

Hehehe laughed, gently wiping his eyes and murmuring.

"... I guess I was really scared, accepting the Demon King. I still get a little scared now and then. Sometimes I wondered what was going to happen and whether I had done something terrible. But now, I'm glad you didn't run away there."

Not just the two of us laughing here right now, everyone in this world.

Elisica, the people of the city, the captains, everyone on the island, Dorami, Giselle, Heiner, everyone who doesn't know their names and didn't meet them.

Even from the day I abandoned something, there will be many visits to this other world tomorrow, and everyone has worked hard to live.

Saving the world means perhaps that somebody's happy future will continue even if they can't see it. This journey revealed it.

"If I hadn't been courageous at that time, I wouldn't be here today. I couldn't see someone so beautiful and happy... so I'm really glad. I'm not scared anymore."

Shenya-kun laughs back as he stares at my side.

"... you're such a wonderful person, really."

"Ahahah. But it's also thanks to Shenya-kun."

Me? Why?

"Because if Shenya-kun hadn't shown up to destroy the world, I wouldn't have been so rude! I thought Shenya-kun would never feel sad, because it was already a summary execution. That's why it's more impressive than Deep Ya. Thank you."

After hearing that, Shenya-kun blinked ─ ─

Then he blew it out and laughed loudly.

Such a way of laughing is too rare, and I can't help but smile.

"Huh, what? Was it that funny?

Shenya-kun, holding his stomach, shoved a laugh and killed him, wiping away his tears.

"No, it's just...

I thought you loved me. "

I didn't think of it, and I had to blow it out and laugh.

It's really stupid to notice that now, Shenya-kun.

"------------------------------------"

"Hmm?

I noticed that the leading bridegroom and groom were waving their hands at us and calling out loudly, and their eyes blinked. But the cheer was too loud to hear.

While tilting his neck, Mr. Ludo shook his white and light arms up ─ ─

He threw a bouquet of blue and white flowers in his hand at us with all his might.

"Wow!?

What a major flying distance!!

I was impressed, but I panicked at the bouquet of flowers that suddenly rose above my head, drawing a parabola. Ah, I could catch it splendidly with my skills...!

Yoo-hoo

"Ah"

Next to mourning the absence of the great reading lover, Shenya-kun exerted his exertion of the motor nerve in front of him to catch the bouquet without difficulty.

…………

"... Shinya-kun, I'll do my best to make you a happy bride...!!

"What!? No, I can't lose!!

As I gazed at Shenya-kun, who put a mood into one hand of the bouquet, I kind of giggled with my chest.

And put your hand on the balcony handrail.

"... unfortunately, we're out of time."

Even though I didn't put any effort into it, I felt the terrible nature of what I had taken on once again at the hands that were lightly cracked and crushed.

Well, if you've had such a terrible impulse for centuries, you'd want to keep it in me for the rest of your life, demon king.

Aria?

"I'm sorry, Shenya-kun, it was a bumpy... bullet tour, but I've had fun for the last five days. Thank you for coming with me."

Shenya-kun laughed gently and grabbed my hand as if he knew what was happening to me as I chewed my back teeth out with cold sweat.

When your consciousness is finally about to evaporate, the magic team glows at your feet in good time. Yeah, yeah, they're really good men, you've worked so hard.

It's a shame I can't say goodbye, but I didn't feel strange and lonely because I think the other world will continue to exist.

So I closed my eyes and laughed as much as I could instead of goodbye.
