Epilogue, Azuka POV
Driing. Driing.
The sound of the bell announcing the end of class echoed the school. The other students started scrambling their way out of the campus.
I collected my things and placed them in my bag. I was gearing up and heading home.
Then in the corner of my eye, I saw Keima.
He just sat there relentlessly pressing the buttons of his PFP. He is very preoccupied at the moment.
I sighed. He is back to his usual self.
"Hey, Azuka-chan."
I heard a voice call out to me.
I turned around then Elsea came to view.
"Oh. Elsea-chan, I didn't see you," I said.
"Oh, gomenasai," she apologized.
"It's okay," I said.
"How did yesterday go?" Elsea suddenly asked.
"Oh, that," I shuffled my feet to find the right words to say. "It was successful."
"Well, it's good to hear that," Elsea cheered. "I'm glad that the loose soul came out. At first I thought it was in your body, but luckily I realized it on time then told you."
"Same here." I felt relieved myself.
I turned around once more to take a look at Keima. He is still absorbed in his game playing.
I sighed and turned back to Elsea.
"It's too bad that he lost his memory," I told Elsea. "He would be different now if he hadn't. He would be so obsessed in playing. He would live a normal life."
Elsea sighed in dismay.
I picked up my bag and prepared for the journey home. This time, I'm going home alone.
Suddenly, Elsea stopped me.
"Azuka-chan," she said. "Do you still love Kami-niisama?"
Without hesitation, I nodded.
There was a moment of silence.
"So, this is your last day here." Elsea suddenly brought up.
"Sadly, it is," I confirmed.
"Why do you want to suddenly leave?" Elsea suddenly asked.
"I just think it is for the best." I answered.
"Does Kami-niisama know that you are leaving?" She asked.
"I don't think he'll even care now." I sighed.
Elsea sighed as well. "Well, you better say goodbye to him now."
I just smiled and said, "Just say goodbye to Keima-kun for me."
I slung my bag to one shoulder and made my way out of the door.
Before I stepped out, I looked at Keima. He just stared straight at his PFP screen.
He is still trapped in the world only he knew.
I know he'd never look up anymore.
But I hope someday he will.
The end.
