Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V2 Epilogues

Epilogue: “Aren’t we happy?”

Natsuki, Koume, and Ginko were walking slowly by the riverbank together.

The four of them, including Kazuto, had ramen and finally got a chance to relax. 

Natsuki decided to skip school for the afternoon, but Kazuto chose to show his face at school, so they parted ways after walking together for a while.

Even though they were not on good terms, Kazuto’s brother had died right in front of him, which was mentally taxing. However, since Kazuto himself wanted to go, Natsuki didn’t stop him from going to school.

Yuto’s remains were with the Minazuki family.

Later on, the Miyahara family would be informed that he died in an accident. 

Natsuki couldn’t predict how their parents would react. 

While it was unfortunate for the family, Natsuki felt cold but didn’t really care.

The annoyance from before was gone, and there was no need to get involved in petty matters anymore. 

After all, that’s probably all their relationship was.

(Let’s stop thinking about Yuto now.)

While leisurely walking along the river, watching Ginko and Koume’s backs as they happily said, “I’m so full!” and “Ramen tastes better when it’s on someone else’s dime!” Natsuki felt relieved that the conflict was over.

Although Koume was dragged into it, she wouldn’t be exploited.

If something happened to her again, no matter who the opponent was, Natsuki would fight and surely win.

(I’ve only just met them, but both Ginko-san and Koume-chan have become really important to me.)

He wasn’t sure if this feeling was love, affection, familial love, or fondness. 

Yet, he knew Koume was so precious that he would risk his life for her. 

Of course, he felt the same about Ginko.

“Hey, Natsuki?”

“Hmm?”

Koume, who had turned around, was smiling brightly.

“I’m sorry for making you fight Mammon. It’s because I’m too beautiful, really sorry. But I believed you would win!”

“There might have been some overdoing, but now no one will dare to mess with Koume-san. You did it, Koume-san! You’re going to be single for life!”

“Nonsense! If I’m to remain single for life, Ginko will be in the same boat!”

“What did you say!?”

Natsuki laughed at their usual banter. 

While applying a headlock to Ginko, with the sun behind her and her blond hair fluttering, Koume declared loudly.

“―Natsuki, I really love you!”

Natsuki was taken aback by the sudden confession but simultaneously realized the answer to the feelings in his heart.

“Me too, Koume-chan.”

“Of course, you do!” 

Natsuki felt his cheeks warm as Koume laughed like the sun.

“Hey, hey, hey, why are you getting ahead of yourself like that! This time it was just Koume-san’s event, but next time, it’ll be my turn when a villain appears, and Natsuki-kun will come to my rescue like a prince!”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! I’m one step ahead! I might be a beautiful angel, but I’m also an angel who never misses the perfect timing! Mammon mammon!”

“Koume-san! You’re also infected by mammon-mammon! This is bad!”

“Haha, how was that!?”

Koume and Ginko burst into laughter, and Natsuki couldn’t help but join in. 

It wasn’t a romantic atmosphere, nor was it a glamorous relationship between men and women. 

But to Natsuki, this kind of atmosphere was the most precious.

“Natsuki-kun, I love you too!”

“Me too, Ginko-san!”

“…Huh? Didn’t it sound like you had more feelings when you said it to Koume-san?”

“Hahaha! I win! But, being the overly beautiful angel that I am, I’m also generous. I’ll make you the 108th concubine!”

“You’re adding a hundred more!? At least make me the second wife!”

―Even though it’s only been eight days since returning from another world, Natsuki Yura was incredibly happy.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

So, that wraps up the second volume.

I think we still need some time to explore the romance aspect. 

I’d be happy if you keep an eye on how things unfold from here. 

We’ll have a bit of a side story before moving on to volume 03. Stick with us!

Ginko: “By the way, Koume-san,”

Koume: “Yeah, what’s up? Why the serious face?”

Ginko: “Confessing is fine, but you can’t go any further than that. Natsuki-kun is still a minor, you know. The Ginko police will be strict about this!”

Koume: “What’s the Ginko police!?”

Ginko: “Yes to liking someone younger! No to touching! Got it?”

Koume: “Alright, got it. You’ve never looked more serious.”

Ginko: “We’re not in another world; this is modern Japan! Touching minors will end you socially! Especially since I’m a civil servant, I’d be doubly dead!”

Koume: “Okay, okay, I’ll be careful.”

Epilogue 2: “Can’t Sleep, Huh?”

On the eighth night after returning from another world, Natsuki, who had experienced intense days, was lying in bed, ready to sleep.

“Wow, it’s true! Samael-san really streams farming videos!”

He overheard his mom and Koume enjoying a drink on a Monday night. Even though he had skipped school for the day, he knew he had to go tomorrow.

Natsuki wasn’t particularly fond of sleeping.

In the other world, his only solace was sleep, but surrounded by enemies, he could never truly rest, always feeling tired.

The first night of good sleep back on Earth was a relief, yet also unsettling.

He feared waking up to find himself back in that other world, causing some nights to be sleepless.

However, magic proved useful in inducing sleep.

Even after he accepted this world as reality, his dreams would often revisit events from the other world. While most memories faded by morning, the awareness of recalling those moments from another world felt incredibly unpleasant.

Honestly, Natsuki Yura was traumatized by his days in the other world. 

Yet, tonight, he felt like he might sleep well.

Koume and Ginko told Natsuki they loved him, and he shared his feelings too. 

It was the first time he had ever felt or expressed his feelings like this.

His heart felt warm.

He was glad to be back on Earth. 

With them by his side, he shouldn’t worry about the past anymore.

“…Speaking of which, they’re really quick with updates.”

Natsuki was watching the latest video from Samatan, which introduced a new member.

Needless to say, it was Mammon.

A handsome man in his mid-thirties, dressed in a gray suit and looking a bit villainous, kept saying “mammon mammon.”

Despite other videos not getting much attention, this one was about to hit ten thousand views. 

The comments section was filled with “mammon mammon.”

“There’s a comment from Kazutan too! He’s really going all out with the ‘mammon mammon’ trend!” 

Natsuki couldn’t help but notice an account named “Sun God” also left a comment, but he chose to ignore it.

“Anyway, I feel a bit relieved.”

He had been worried about Kazuto, who had lost his brother right in front of his eyes, so seeing him able to leave comments on a video was somewhat comforting. 

But tomorrow, the police would inform their family about Yuto’s death. 

Natsuki wondered what Kazuto would think then. 

Yuto had not only targeted Natsuki but had also tried to kill Kazuto as an afterthought. Though his attempt ended in failure, Yuto’s willingness to go through with it was unforgivable.

However, Natsuki wasn’t overly worried.

Amaterasu and Samael wouldn’t just leave Kazuto alone. They’d look out for him. 

Being friends since they were kids, Natsuki knows Kazuto has feelings he can’t express, and he’s thankful for that. 

Thinking about Kazuto and relaxing a bit made Natsuki feel sleepy. 

Just as he was about to give in to sleep, his smartphone rang. 

Since it was in his hand, he instinctively checked it and saw a message:

[Sorry for messaging late at night. Are you free tomorrow? Would you like to meet? ― Everyone’s God.]

Natsuki was shocked to receive a message from “God,” especially since he hadn’t shared his contact information. 

“YOU KIDDING ME!!!!”

This shock made him wide awake and yell out a strange, loud noise.

It goes without saying that a few seconds later, Koume and the others burst into his room asking if they were being attacked.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Finally, God makes an appearance! God-God! 

…Though “mammon mammon” does sound better.

It really motivates me.
