Chapter 662 - At Peace

Under a cloudless blue sky, I walked up a set of stone stairs. Climbing up the stairs doesnt feel like a ch.o.r.e as the end of summer is approaching, the time when the temperature seems to be getting a little more comfortable.

Well, though I say that, even if the world changes, s.h.i.+ro-sans The G.o.ds Blessing seems to still be effective, so I wont really feel the heat of summer that much.

While taking in the scenery in a daze, I arrived at my destination and reached Mom and Dads gravesite.

[Mom, Dad. This wont be the last time, but I dont think Ill be coming to visit for a while.]

Incidentally, I dont have my diary today. I had thought about some things while undertaking s.h.i.+ro-sans ordeal, and I dont think it would fit the atmosphere of today.

Unnn, its just a vague hunch but Ill probably be picked up today.

[While Im gone, Uncle and Aunt would apparently be coming periodically, so I dont think your graves will stay dirty for a long time.]

Regarding my explanation to Uncle and Aunt, honestly I feel like they had accepted it quicker than I had expected. I mean, it actually seems like Eden-san had a hand on this matter as a person calling herself Amaterasu, who claimed to be Eden-sans a.s.sistant, came to our home and explained many things to them, which convinced Uncle and Aunt.

Incidentally, Amaterasu-san isnt the same Amaterasu from the j.a.panese Mythology or anything like that, but an ent.i.ty created by Eden-san to a.s.sist her, and Amaterasu-san just gave that name to herself.

In addition, even though Amaterasu-san is claiming to be Eden-sans a.s.sistant, Eden-san herself is calling Amaterasu-san her tool, and it was apparent that Amaterasu-san was somewhat unhappy with her situation.

But at that time, they were firmly telling me to come back to see them from time to time How should I say this I guess it was just I, myself that had put up a wall between us, as Uncle and Aunt, who doesnt have their own child, seemed to really care for me as if I were their own son. I cried a bit when I found out about this.

By the way, Mitsunaga-kun didnt return to this world. He wanted to live in that world in the future, and thus, Eden-san has already erased the records of his existence from Earth.

As for Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, they basically live in this world, but they still visit the other world from time to time.

Regarding Aoi-chan, she said I may cut ties with her home after high school and move to the other world, but since she wont be able to play online games in the other world, she was wondering what to do.

As for Hina-chan, she had consulted me Mom and Dad said they wanted to go to the other world when they get old too so can I ask Kaito-san about that?. Well, when I get back to that world, Im going to talk to s.h.i.+ro-san about it.

As I was walking along, thinking about this The scenery suddenly changed. Above the skies that looked like cybers.p.a.ce, a star that seemed to be made of iron appeared

[Eden-san?]

[h.e.l.lo, Miyama Kaito. It seems like the one who will pick you up will be coming soon, so Ive come to meet you Apparently, the one coming to pick you up is that G.o.ds half-body.]

[Is that so Seriously, Im always being helped by Eden-san. Once again, thank you.]

In addition to explaining things with Uncle and Aunt, Eden-san was even supporting me in regards to handling the things after I go to the other world, which Im really grateful for.

Thinking about this, I thanked her but

[No need to thank me. It is natural for Mother to help her child. However, Mother is lonely to see my beloved child live there from now on. Even so, no matter what world you go, know that this will always be your home. You can come back anytime you want. Yes, once a month No, once a week once a day No, but even so, Mother is worried about not being able to see my child for such a long time. Mother is such a worrier. I still havent finished brainwa No, educating the talking lumps of flesh from that world, so wouldnt it be better if my clone also lives over there Yes, lets do that! My beloved child will be happier with Mother by his side! Yes, thats right! It is wrong for a mother and her child to live apart after all. In that case, if I live with my child]

[]

If she werent this kind of person, I could have just been honestly grateful to her Rather, please cut it out. If I lived with Eden-san, it would be pretty nasty for my stomach.

But of course, with her already turning like that, Eden-san wouldnt just stop at this level, as she continued to talk pa.s.sionately while looking at me with eyes filled with muddy hearts.

Just as her mindset was stepping into the realm that could be completely called insane, the s.p.a.ce was ripped open and Eden-san was blown away.

[I will definitely not allow that, okay?]

[D*mned annoying G.o.ds half-body Intruding in my tryst with my beloved child again Tsk.]

The one who had come to pick me up was Kuro but arehh? Normally, this is where Kuro and Eden-san would break out into a fight but Eden-san just clicked her tongue in annoyance before quickly leaving the place.

Moreover Theres something slightly different about Kuro. Her semi-short hair is now as long as s.h.i.+ro-san, and her black coat has some kind of mysterious silvery-white pattern engraved on it.

[Good grief, every single time I see her Wait, lets start all over again. Kaito-kun! Thank you for waiting, Ive come to fetch you!]

[Yeah, its been a while By the way, Kuro, dont you look a bit different?]

Even though it has been two years since the last time I was there, how should I say this It feels like Kuros presence today is overwhelming. If I had to describe it It kinda feels similar to s.h.i.+ro-san? When I first met s.h.i.+ro-san, I felt a sense of presence that separated her from the others, as if she had all the s.p.a.ce under her control just by existing there.

[Unnn? Ahh, its just because Im fused with s.h.i.+ro.]

[Fused? Eh? You can do that?]

[Unnn. Me and s.h.i.+ro were originally one after all.. Well, its not exactly like going back to our original form, since the base of our fused body is me.]

I see, Kuro and s.h.i.+ro-san were originally one omnipotent being that was split in two. And with them fused, theyve regained their original power returning back to the state of being an omnipotent and omniscient G.o.d, so to speak.

I see, I guess that tremendous presence around her makes sense then. However, why did they fuse with each other again? Does it mean that its actually difficult to move to another world without fusing?

[No, thats not it Its just, well, s.h.i.+ro and I were arguing over who should pick up Kaito-kun. Our match took too long and we couldnt come to an agreement, so we finally agreed to fuse]

[]

Since shes fused with Kuro-san, I had expected that Kuro could read my mind but for her to really respond to my thoughts unnn. I had really guessed right!?

[After that though, we had to fight over which base to use on our fusion but in the end, I won our match of rock-paper-scissors, so we fused with me as the base and came to pick Kaito-kun up.]

[I- Is that so. M- Must have been rough]

Why cant you just go together then?

[Because I wanted to see Kaito-kun first.]

[H- Hmmm.]

[No, no, that is very important! I mean, it may have only been two months for you, but Ive been waiting for two years No, well, its a very short period of time compared to the years Ive lived but I still felt lonely.]

Sounding like shes sulking, Kuro gently hugged me. How should I say this The reason was quite simple but they made me extremely happy, making me forget about the astoundedness I felt earlier.

I tightly hugged Kuros pet.i.te body back. Even though there is a difference of two months and their two years, I also wanted to see Kuro and to be honest, I missed her.

Thats why for a few moments I want to feel this warm happiness a bit longer.

Well, even though I say that Im going to be teleported between worlds, in the first place, it only took a moment even when I was first summoned and since Kuro, who possessed omnipotent and omniscient power, would be leading me with the teleportation, there would obviously be no trouble.

And thus, I easily returned back to the world of Trinia that I so missed. As for where exactly in Trinia I wonder where we are now? It looks like a small hill, but I dont recognize this place.

Ahh, but I can see the Heros Hill in the distance so I guess were near Friends.h.i.+p City?

[By the way, why are we teleported here?]

[Nothing really!]

She said that she chose this place for our teleportation for no particular reason but well, its just like Kuro. When I turned around to look at Kuro, she was back to her usual semi-short hair and black coat.

[Arehh? Kuro, youre back to normal?]

[Unnn, we undid our fusion as soon as we arrived in this world. Ahh, also, I have a message from s.h.i.+ro. Please come to the Sanctuary when youve finished your greeting, or so she said.]

[Unnn? Alright.]

Of course, Im also planning to greet s.h.i.+ro-san later, but if shes going to the trouble of asking Kuro to give that message, I guess she might have some business she needs to attend to.

When Im finished with my greeting I guess that means she wants me to visit everyone first and go to the Sanctuary last.

As I was thinking about this, I felt a sudden pull on my hand. Turning towards where Im pulled, I saw Kuro with a big smile on her face.

[Well, in any case Welcome back! Kaito-kun!]

Ahh, I knew it Kuro really is unfair. Shes always saying the words I want to hear most as if it was natural.

[Im back.]

Hugging my unbearably loveable girlfriend again, I told her this with all of my heart.

Dear Mom, Dad It all started with a Hero summoning and came to a different world. The different world wasnt what I had imagined, but a peaceful place filled with warmth and kindness.

I was touched by so much warmth, so much kindness, and my halted story started moving again and in this world, I found my own treasure.

What do I need to write in my diary now? Ive written a lot of things so far. And even in the future, I will continue writing in my diary. My story still continues.

However, unnn for the time being, Id like to put down my pen. There are too many things that my loved ones have given me, too many different views that they have shown me, and I cant write about all of them

Also, I think Ill stop writing in my diary as if its a letter, dedicated to someone. What I want to report to Mom and Dad, Ill tell them with my own mouth and words when I go back to my hometown homeworld? Anyway, Id like to tell them personally instead of writing them in a letter.

Finally, Id like to conclude by slightly changing the words of the first diary log I wrote after coming to this world.

Dear Mother, Father- I was caught up in a Hero Summoning. But, that world was No, this world that Im going to be living in Im sure, even in the future- is at peace.

Serious-senpai : [That was a good final chapter. I guess my role here is done as well. Thank you for everything, adieu~~!]

? ? ? : [Oi, you there, where are you going? Only the main story had ended. The after story is still going on so dont you dare escape.]

Serious-senpai : [Will there be seriousness?]

? ? ? : [Let me ask you that question. The one-year limit for Heroes is lifted, and not only the top of the world, even the G.o.d of that world is on his side Do you think there would be seriousness?]

Serious-senpai : [DONT WANNAAAAAA!? I WANNA GO HOOOOOOOME!]

? ? ? : [Too bad for you, but this is actually your home.]

Serious-senpai : [GET THOSE SUGARS AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEE!!!]
