Chapter 306 - Epilogue - A Few Events After The Main Story I

"You two!!"

Haruka and Akihiro helplessly called out when Raven and Eureka with their horses galloped and stopped outside the main gate of the kingdom.

"Elder sister, why are you leaving again?" Hikari begrudgingly said.

"We will come back. We just need to get rid of those rebels in order for them not come to you again," Eureka replied but she didn't went down of her horse.

After what happened by the lake, the two of them were startled when a round of applause suddenly came near them.

Upon looking, it was actually everyone they were close to. Even the parents of everyone in squad zero. And the squad zero that was currently in Aurora Kingdom.

Haruka and Akihiro actually called for their friends upon getting out of the inner hall. And when everyone realized that the two of them are not in the garden, sparring.

They went down the lake and witnessed the current scene.

Another six months and their wedding was set.

Eureka who wore a pure white dress, looked more like a goddess. She was known as the most beautiful person within the four kingdoms. After that event.

And that wedding just happened yesterday. When everyone realized that the two of them wanted to leave early that morning, Rino and Akihiro issued that they are not to leave the gates.

Not until they talked to them.

"Just what kind of honeymoon is this, dude?" Hideyoshi couldn't help but ask.

They were jolted awake and learned of the news of the two of them leaving.

"You two, why can't you stay put even just for a bit more? It's a honeymoon you know," Mamoru shook his head and asked.

"We've stayed put for a whole six months already. That's more than enough," Eureka was the one who answered.

Seeing as her parents was about to complain, "I have to visit the others as well. They have received the letter but they are currently busy with their own kingdom."

Her plan of visiting them first was changed back to sending letters. Since her and Raven's parents wanted the two of them to get married first.

When Nana received the letter, she instantly wanted to visit but then the Confederate kingdom suddenly became busy.

The same goes for the other two kingdoms. So Eureka used this in order for her parents not to stop them.

She really wanted to finish those rebels already. She didn't want other people trying to use Hikari for their own personal gain.

She was her precious younger sister after all. No one must touch even the tip of her hair when they have nothing in mind but to use her for their own gain.

After hearing her words, Haruka and the rest have no more words to say. And seeing as the two of them are eager to leave, they no longer have any more reason to stop them.

"I guess we could say that atleast they are together. And that they wouldn't be separated with this task they took," Mutsumi could only console herself and Haruka with this.

"The come back with a baby okay?" Haruka called out.

Her voice was loud enough for those around them to hear.

Raven and Eureka felt their face turned red upon hearing her mother's remark.

Raven cleared his throat, "We shall be going now."

And no longer waiting for any of them to speak more, the two of them made sure their horses were running the fastest.

At the same time, the both of them couldn't talk with each other somehow.

If their friends would see them, surely they would laugh at the two of them.

They were the most serious and most indifferent, yet even though they are married they actually didn't thought about making a baby at all. And now that it was pointed out, they actually became shy.

So what did they do last night?

Hideyoshi and Karen would surely be the ones laughing the most.

But it didn't took the two of them that long before snapping out of their shyness. For not long after, they actually met a few rebels.

And since they already got the final punishment as death, they didn't hold back and just attacked.

But they were human enough to still bury their bodies before going on with their journey.

The usual two months travel to Confederate Kingdom  became four months instead for they had to go and sweep clean the rebels surrounding the path from Aurora Kingdom to Confederate Kingdom.

*****

"You have to focus, even a slight wind could deviate your arrow," during this time, Nana was left with the task to teach a few other knights in archery.

"Ready," she then said.

Their are ten trainees under her, they could be known as the elites for they are under the queen herself.

"Shoot."

*WHOOSH*

*SNAP*

The moment the ten arrows were shoot, another arrow from the side went perpendicularly and hit the middle of the arrows, snapping them to two before that arrow was pinned on a tree, opposite where it was shot.

The ten trainees were agape upon seeing all their arrows were snapped into two by just one arrow.

All their heads turned to the side where that arrow came from.

"I never thought you could also be a teacher, sister."

Her voice was indifferent but within it was warmth.

"EUREKA!!"

The trainees were shock to see their queen shout and run to that lady.

Then they were even more shock to see her wail like a child as she hug that person.

"You're a teacher, can't you embarrass yourself in front of your students?"

Eureka couldn't help but say as she hug Nana back. Despite getting older, she was the old same Nana she met.

Natsuki shook his head.

When Eureka and Raven appeared a while ago. He too was completely shock, no one told him that they were arriving. So no one was prepared.

And despite knowing that Eureka have fully returned, seeing her in person still had a different feeling than just knowing of it.

Raven was standing beside him as a look  of helplessness was also visible in his face.

A dinner celebration was then held that night, but only those who are close to Nana and Natsuki were invited.

And everyone was questioning if they really are sisters, Nana's character was the complete opposite of Eureka after all.

The children was also delighted to meet their most beautiful aunt.

The stay was short, for Eureka and Raven still have other places to go to. They only stayed a week but Eureka was still able to impart a few points regarding archery to Nana's students.

And when she left, Nana could feel that her student's heart are no longer with her.

"Eureka really, she even took my student's heart," she complained happily to Natsuki who only laughed and placed his arm around her shoulders. As the two of them stood by the window.

For them who didn't meet the her who lost her memories, they didn't held any anger after listening to everything, instead they heaved a sigh of relief that everything was finally over.

*****

Their next stop was Hesperian Kingdom that was now known as Twilight Kingdom.

And Kaoru's reaction was the same as Nana.

"Sometimes I wonder if you really are Nana's father," Eureka commented as she pat Kaoru's back.

"Even when you saw me when I had no memories, you wailed just like this. Why can't you grow up even for a bit Kaoru?"

The next day, Eureka invited him for a serious spar. For she remembered of the things Raven wrote about Kaoru's ascension.

(Flashback)

On the night of their wedding, when they finally retired to Raven's home.

They chose this place instead of the castle. For both of them find it more peaceful to stay at the edge than be there where servants are all over the place.

After a warm bath and as Eureka lay down in the bed preparing to sleep.

"Don't sleep yet, I have one last gift to you," Raven who just finished his own bath came up.

She furrowed her brows and sat up in bed. Raven walked to the bookshelf on the side and at the top right most corner pulled out a not so thick notebook.

Before he proceeded and sat down beside her.

When she took it, she noticed that his ears were red. But his facial expression was still the same.

She flipped it open and was stunned. The first page was dated back to the next day after Reset.

~Everyone was still in a daze over what had happened. They were still trying to comprehend the fact that they could no longer use their abilities.~

Towards the end of the first entry, what was written was...

~Our memories are still intact. Have you chosen to forget us instead? What is the reason for such?~

Despite the issue being resolved she couldn't help but to look at Raven upon reading the first entry.

He only smiled at her and urged her to keep reading.

As she did, she felt like she was actually in there during that time observing from the side.

The emotions and actions was clearly written on it. Her tears have flowed from an unknown point in time and she only realized it when Raven wiped them away.

She looked at him, the last entry was when he gave the decision of her living in ignorance.

~Would you be happy? Is this really for the best? But I do wish that you would find happiness with your new identity, even if that is not with me.~

She placed the notebook beside her and gave him a tight hug.

He was someone who would find writing a diary too girly and childish but he still wrote all the important events in order for her to know of them.

"I knew you would have wanted to witness all of it. Though some of it became my own thoughts at that time instead," Raven said as he caressed her hair.

"Thank you, thank you for being the one for me."

It didn't show during the ceremony and the reception but the two of them were actually in a bliss to be together.

And after receiving such gift, Eureka was even more happy than she already was.

Raven smiled at her and gave her a deep kiss.

The night was long for the both of them after that.
