Yuzui and Beauty were completely surprised, it was the first time they were seeing Eve crying and being emotional about something, but I remain calm and kept on patting at her head and trying to calm her and stop her crying, but Eve was crying like a child and not stopping, she is a child at the end so oof course she can, but it was just the first time for them and they actually never believed that Eve would cry. But maybe, I am dear for her and I shouldn't have make her cry like this, it was my responsibility...but I guess I can do nothing about it other than trying to calm her down.
And on the other hand, Kei was also crying on her brother's shoulder and Beauty and Yuzui smiled with a sweat and looked they both looked at Eve and Kei, there was no difference in both of them, both were crying, worrying about their brothers and Yuzui and Beauty looked at each other and they sighed at the end and they had no role there.
After crying for a whole hour, Kei had fall asleep with her brother who was still unconscious while Eve had stopped crying, but she was still sniffing and hugging me, not going to leave me for sure and now Yuzui was just becoming jealous and Beauty smiling with a sweat, watching both of them and concerned if they both starts fighting.
Eve kept on hugging me, and she closed her eyes and asked, "...You won't do that again, right, big brother? Promise me...you will never take yourself in any danger, ever again...promise me."
And Yuzui was left frozen, her eyes had widened and she looked down...and suddenly laughed. Eve didn't hear that, but Beauty did and she didn't understand what it meant...but Yuzui was thinking from herself, if she would have asked for the same promise from me...then she doubts that I would have broken it, and maybe God of Creation wasn't defeated and Yuzui and I would have lived a longer life, but Yuzui's eyes started filling with tears...but she knows, that it won't happen, even if anyone asks me for a promise, I wouldn't answer...each promise for me would be like, you are asking from a flower for a promise to never wither, but death is natural and equal to everything and everyone.
Beauty had taken Eve to make her ready while Yuzui and I were just sitting on the bed, I fell and I lied on the bed, a little bit tired but not exhausted, just stressed a little bit after everything happened and Yuzui looked at me and smiled...but a question remain in her mind, and she finally looked at me and just asked, "Ichiro..." And I looked at her. She finally looked at me with tears in her eyes and having a decent smile on her face.
"...At midnight, I also asked for a promise...but you didn't say anything...and when Eve asked you for a promise...you were still the same...you didn't say anything...what is in your mind? Are you...going to leave us again? Your silence looks like you have made a promise, but it's...a straight denial...why?"
And I just smiled, while Yuzui started crying while looking down. I looked up at the wooden ceiling and said, "There are always some reason, no promise can be fulfilled, at least not by me because the promise will be broken one day or another, like, death is sure for everyone, I can't live forever, but I can make one promise...till the moment I am alive, I will always keep you and everyone happy--"
"I don't want that!!!" But Yuzui shouted all of a sudden with anger and while holding tears and she sat on me, still looking sad and she was still crying, my eyes widened...Yuzui was still crying and she beat at my chest softly, and asked, "...Promise me...you won't leave us again."
But I became normal, I had no reaction on my face and I straight replied, "...I can't...I am sorry, but I can't make that promise."
Yuzui was left shocked...it would be her first time that I am looking serious and denying on her wishes, but I can't when it comes about promises...I wouldn't even make a promise with God of Everything if she asks for, I am afraid, if I broke the promise somehow at sometime so I never make a promise until I am sure about one, that my words would be perfect with the promise and I could fulfill the promise I gave.
Yuzui suddenly smiled and she started tearing more, and said, "Well then...if it's your words then I... can't stand a chance against you, but listen to me...even if you can't promise me, then at least let me live a life, where I could never regret, where I was able to do whatever I want to."
And I was left frozen...wait, what? Why...it seems so strange, weird, why am I sweating and why am I fearing about something now, wait...what is she going to do--
But Yuzui just kissed me with her eyes closed, and I was left frozen...my cheeks started turning red. I wanted to shout and say, "NOOOOO!!!!!" but I couldn't!!!
Suddenly the bathroom opened and Eve was sitting on Beauty's shoulders after getting ready and Beauty and Eve were shocked, Beauty smiled and she closed her own eyes and also covered Eve's eyes, but Eve shouted by taking the hand aside, "Hey!!! You both should tell me that you both are in relationship!!! And Sister Yuzui, if you are just kissing him for fun then just leave him or I will kill you for sure!!! Leave my innocent big brother right now and answer my each and every question!!!"
And Yuzui finally left my lips, and I was just left frozen...my cheeks were completely red, and Yuzui finally smiled and wiped her tears...and I couldn't hold my shyness and I turned away, hiding my face by my hands and completely blushing and Yuzui laughed, "This is my innocent Ichiro, as expected."
Beauty was also laughing but Eve was now angry and she shouted, "Leave my innocent big brother you red clever fox!!!" And everyone laughed.
The evening was almost on the sky, and Eve was sleeping on my shoulders and I was walking back to the country from a shortcut way and Beauty, Yuzui and Kei were following me and Rey was on Kei's shoulders, still unconscious and sleeping. Beauty and Yuzui explained the whole plan, they both had expected that Kei wouldn't be able to remember her past so they didn't tell her about Gods and they just explained her that they just wanted to save them after knowing of what was going to happen and the rest they left on Kei to decide what she should do, if she wants to go back to her country then she can and whatever decision she wants to make, that will be accepted. At the end Kei chose to follow us and live in the new country at Beauty's home if they have nothing and can do nothing for now.
Kei was looking down, and she asked with a disappointment, "So...what we will do there as well? We have nothing, we have no other clothes, no food, and...we both don't want to live a life relying on you..."
Beauty looked back with surprises on her face and she just smiled and answered, "You both can work at Academy as teachers, you both were working at Academy of your country, right? I will give you both an admission as a teacher easily, I am one of Heads and Main Teachers there, you both can work there under my control and under my orders and rules, that is not a bad plan, right?"
And Kei was surprised...but she just smiled at the end, and looked down, "...So you both weren't kidnapping me for real." And Beauty and Yuzui smiled with a sweat and replied, "Of course not, we aren't wrong people who kidnap people, that's not we do."
Ichiro was just looking at the fallen castle and burnt areas, the Main Hall had also collapsed where the King was there and he was also killed in the tragedy and there was no trace of him. But Ichiro walked and he suddenly found something, he picked it up...and it was the crown of the King and the crown suddenly disappeared and turned into pieces and dust and flew away and Ichiro stood and looked away.
The South had collapsed and the world had ruined, the one of the strongest empire's castle fall and explosion made a huge impact at the other Empires, some were happy as being their enemies, some were sad as being their allies and some were scared...if something similar happened to them as well and so everyone wanted to know the reason how it happened, but no one could answer it because the explosion was so massive that it left no traces of anything, and it was almost impossible to find the culprit of it, because there were two possibilities that the culprit also died in the explosion or the culprit is still alive, but could never be found because of no trace.
Nobela was completely angry, that his lord's castle was destroyed and the empire had fallen, but Ichiro was calm and he stood and walked back...and he had finally realized, that what he didn't want and what he didn't expect, that only happened, he underestimated someone.
"From now on, I will become the ruler of the South..." And Ichiro declared it straight and said, "And I will now expand my world...I will take over the whole planet, and from tomorrow...I will start the conquer, no matter what." And Ichiro smiled creepily...his whole plan was working the way like he wanted.
Emi and Yuki were moving back to their mansions, confused and in a great shock...that how the South can ruin and how such a great explosion occur, but Emi had an idea and she knew, "This type of explosions...only big brother can do, not even our teacher can. It's definitely him...it's whether Ichiro who destroyed his own castle by his own hands...or the person...is completely someone else, and not my big brother." And Yuki was surprised and she looked at Emi, but she was serious about it.
Rey had started coming to his consciousness and he finally opened his eyes and he saw, everywhere was just darkness and the lantern light was only giving light to everyone and Kei, Eve, Yuzui, Beauty and I were in front of our dinning table and having our dinner. It was already night and suddenly a few fireflies came flying and came in front of his eyes and Rey finally woke up.
"You're awake?"
And suddenly Rey woke up with a panic by hearing a familiar voice which no one could hear, or at least we acted like we didn't, but Kei and Eve actually didn't hear anything.
Time smiled, watching everyone and said, "I heard you have remembered your past life, you have lived? Even the God one? Well if you can hear me then you would remember your God life for sure and you would also know who you are. I am Time, to not make you confuse whose voice you are hearing, and...welcome back...now will you mind telling me your name, everyone can remember that you were the student of God of Assassination, Nobela, but we can't remember your name and your sister's name...would you mind reminding us?" Even Time has forgotten their names.
And Rey was left frozen, and fell on his chair and Kei and everyone finally noticed him and Kei panicked and ran to him, "Brother!"
But...Rey couldn't believe...that he would be able to ever hear any other God's words except his sister.
