Volume 9 Chapter 76 Yuusuke's Wish
"――San! Kanami-san!"
Kanami heard a voice.
She was thinking, "Just let me sleep in a bit," but that voice always wakes me up.
"What is it, Lisha? If we don't keep quiet in the morning, Yuusuke-sama will wake up――."
The words didn't reach the end.
"Kanami-san!"
Her whole body was enveloped by Lisha. The soft, warm sensation was beyond her understanding.
She could smell the scent of sunlight. Her blood was flowing, and it was warm.
She could feel it.
"What's going on...?"
Kanami couldn't comprehend the situation and looked around while still holding Lisha's head.
They were in the mountains.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, and the sound of rustling leaves filled the air.
And everyone was there.
"Noireee!! Sharla-san tooooo!"
"Just a bit, it hurts, Hinata."
"...It's so hot."
Hinata Yukari was crying while clinging to Sharla and the girl with cherry-blossom hair, Noire Toare.
Next to them, Irial was hugging Yunea tightly, almost suffocating her, while Bertina was examining Nest's body.
"Yunea, Yunea, Yunea!"
"Ne, Onee-san! It hurts!"
"Nest, are you really not hurt anywhere? You're not hiding it, are you?"
"...No, I'm really fine, so stop touching my body like that."
Everyone was there without a single injury.
It was as if that battle had been a dream.
No, that couldn't be.
Kanami had fought against Vincent Luger, the Grimoire, and died.
There was no mistake; her physical body had perished, leaving only her soul.
And she couldn't remember what happened after that.
But what bothered her more was that everyone was there.
However, the person who was supposed to be there the most was missing.
Kanami stood up, still holding Lisha's head.
Then, she walked towards the place where people were looking up at the sky a short distance away.
Eris, who noticed Kanami first, turned towards her.
"Kanami-san, how's your body?"
"Eris-sama, I'm fine. What happened?"
The one who answered that question was Mevius, sitting on a chair substitute, Sebas.
"We don't get it either. We thought we were dead, but we're here. That idiot must have done something, but..."
Mevius narrowed her eyes, looking unamused.
Tsukiko took over the conversation.
"――Only Yuusuke didn't come back."
That's right, everyone who fought together was gathered here.
But Yuusuke was the only one missing.
"Why, where did――."
"You don't know, do you? He just went and killed Julius. That's a fact, no mistake about it."
Kougarou said, gazing up at the sky.
The Bridge to the Universe (Kakehashi) that had covered the sky was no longer visible.
The sunlight was shining, as if nothing had ever happened.
Everyone who had been rejoicing at their reunion also noticed Yuusuke's absence and quietly drew closer. But no one had an answer.
Except for one person.
"...Yuusuke-san? I did he has a message to pass on!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Lisha, whose eyes were red and puffy from crying.
Eris spoke up as the representative.
"What...message? From who?"
"From Yuusuke-san. It was in my head when I woke up!"
"...Eh, yeah. That's right. I wish you had told us a bit sooner..."
Everyone felt the same way, but they couldn't say anything to Lisha, who was smiling through her tears.
"So, what's the message?"
Tsukiko couldn't help but ask.
Lisha looked at each of their faces and conveyed the message.
"'I got stuck in a bit of a mess and can't come back right now. I'll come pick you all up in a year, so wait for me on Earth or Asteris, either one is fine'."
At those words, everyone was at a loss for what to say, and they exchanged glances, finally letting out a small laugh.
It was just so like him to say something like that.
Eris spoke up as the representative.
"He's going to make us wait for a whole year? What a playboy he's become."
When they met, they all looked at each other, wondering what they should do.
The God-Demon War has finally come to an end, and Lisha and the others returned to Asteris, while Tsukiko and the others went back to their daily lives on Earth.
Everyone held onto the promise of one year.
They continued to wait for the time of their reunion.
