Episode 24
~ Beyond The Möbius of Time (Part I) ~
The Sky You Gave Me
"Eh, Ave is…" said Hayate as she paused her sentence midway, while Shari was only nodding back in affirmative before responding back at Hayate's unfinished sentence soon afterward. "Well, this morning during combat simulation session against ESUN's squadron of Type-00C Takemikazuchi units…he crashed his Gespenst by accident. Luckily, thanks to the safety cushion installed around the training field, Ave-san was left uninjured…although he seems suffering from high fever. So, Nanoha-san drove him home early this afternoon and I am not really sure about what happened afterwards…" replied Shari back as she shrugged at Hayate, meanwhile the Queen of the Night Sky herself was only slumped on her seat before burying her face on her commander desk.
"Hayate-san?" asked Shari curiously. "Uhm, well…I think Ave was forcing himself a bit too hard and I'm partially to blame as well, since I always ask him to accompany me and becoming my aide during some minor investigations, as he never once declined…well, the stress and fatigue might have been piling up afterwards and I heard the Main Branch of Engineering Division also quite busy on perfecting Blaster System as well as AEC Armaments together with Caledfwlch Techniques…" muttered Hayate alone, as her voice sounds a bit guilty for some obvious reason. "Ave-san never once declining others' requests even when those requests came from different divisions unrelated from the division in which he is currently stationed…so, I won't blame him if the fatigue finally take a toll him and make him totally out of commission…" Shari paused her sentence midway, as she grinned at Hayate for some reason. It was thanks to such mischievous grin from Shari that only could be rivalled by the said Queen of the Night Sky herself, Hayate could feel a cold sweat starting to run on her back.
"Uh, Shari?"
"Hayate-san…how about if you try visit Ave-san later this afternoon…? I think that would be a best remedy for his fever at the moment, and surely Ave-san would be delighted even more if you cook him late lunch or early dinner during your visit while wearing maid uniform cosplay!" replied Shari back in enthusiasm as she gave Hayate a big thumb up with her right hand. In the meantime Hayate was only staring back at Shari with slightly confused look on her face and remain silent for a while before nodded in agreement as well afterward. "It might not be a bad idea after all na…except for maid uniform cosplay part…" replied Hayate back as she smiled toward Shari, meanwhile the said gossip girl Shario Finieno that was also well famously known as device meister on TSAB main branch of engineer division as well as Fate T Harlaown's Enforcer aide quickly nodded in agreement over Hayate's answer.
"Yup! You're right…moreover it's already becoming everyone's common knowledge across TSAB's main branch, Special Duty Section 6, marine defense force branch, ground force branch, capital defense force branch, Celestial Being's Ptolemaios team, as well as Fereshte team and ZEUTH that our little Ave-san here is having a huge admiration and unrequited crush to commander Hayate Yagami-san, tee hee, hee, hee…" Shari made her remark as she adjusted her glasses and grinned. "Eh, I see…so that's already becoming a common knowledge here na, wait…w-w-wha-WHAT!?" Hayate's face was somehow paled as soon as she finished from hearing Shari's comment just now. She found herself sweated even more in nervousness since she never expected that the younger former wishful author's secret crush on her had already becoming common knowledge after all.
"W-w-wait! Shari! How, I mean…how come you and everyone else could come up with such conclusion na…?" asked Hayate frantically, as Shari only laughed at her superior officer in front of her before replying back. "Awww! C'mon Hayate-san, both Ave-san and yourself were pretty obvious as both of you were always hanging around together pretty often for someone that only having professional relationship as superior and subordinate within military organization you know…and also, don't you think it's also pretty obvious that Ave-san is always trying to impress you by accepting your request and helping you despite his little almost to no experience as investigator…as well as his famous offer to take half of your burden away during that incident?" Shari replied back mischievously, as this time Hayate couldn't deny it anymore.
As soon as Hayate remembered the "certain incident" that Shari had previously mentioned, she couldn't help herself from blushing slightly, and before the said gossip girl begin to bombard her even more with other obvious embarrassing episodes over her close and overly friendly relationship with the younger former wishful fanfic author Ave, Hayate quickly replied back at Shari. "I'll visit him this afternoon after I'm done with my report and you better keep everything in secret Shari…since I will only let Signum and the others know so they could visit him later this evening as well, since Shamal could help him with some of her medicines…but, don't ever let anyone else from the Striker team know, alright na!" ordered Hayate, as Shari quickly made a mock salute at her commanding officer before playfully replying back.
"Aye, roger that sir! I will keep my lip zipped away! And also, good luck with everything Hayate-san!" replied Shari back, as she couldn't help herself from grinning at the slightly blushed Hayate in front of her.
"Mou! Shari!" complained Hayate, albeit deep down inside her heart she was happy for hearing Shari's words in regard to the former wishful author's feeling for her was indeed genuine after all. "Well, what I need to do now is to finish this report quickly and wait for another one and half hour before my shift finish…" muttered Hayate inside her heart, as soon as Shari left her personal commander quarter. It was when Hayate started to type her report and occasionally smiled alone as she remembered the very first encounter she had with the former wishful author Ave, as well as their early adventures/ misadventures together around half year ago.
Fast forward to the afternoon, around 3:00 pm, at Althea District of Western Mid-Childa…
"This place surely nice na…and I think Ave is quite lucky for finding such nice place with cheap rent when he decided to move to Mid-Childa permanently after becoming Nanoha-chan's adoptive younger brother…" Hayate muttered alone inside her heart, as she entered the main entrance of newly built and fully furnish apartment building. "Uhm, let me see…his unit is on level ten, room double zero eight…I heard from Nanoha-chan, his unit has a very nice view and quite large for one bedroom apartment…" muttered Hayate again inside her heart while fixing her uniform collar of her blue TSAB uniform under her high-ranking official's long coat.
On her way to the former wishful author's place, Hayate decided to stop at the local grocery shop to buy some ingredients of certain warm remedy that she have been planning to cook for her beloved younger wishful fanfic author. "Well, here I am na…spare key…spare key…ah, here it is…" Hayate took a spare card key she obtained secretly from Vivio beforehand. The Queen of the Night Sky then took a long deep breath in order to calm herself down, as she gently scanned the card key's surface on the card reader in the front door of Ave's one bedroom apartment as a green light could be seen flashing afterward, indicating the front door finally opened.
"Now, if you excuse me na…" muttered Hayate alone half-whispering, as she entered Ave's apartment quietly. Her first impression over the younger former wishful author's apartment was neat, well not overly neat and tidy but definitely tidier from what she would have been expecting from a young man living alone by himself. As soon as Hayate entered the living room area in where a small kitchen located, she saw a simple working desk in which Ave's personal laptop computer was left on standby mode and his S2U storage device was neatly stored on its cardholder. Hayate couldn't help herself from smiling, as soon as she noticed nearby the 1 point 144 scale diecast metal statue of Tactical Surface Fighter Type-94 Shiranui in ESUN metallic light blue colour, a simple wooden photo frame could be seen neatly located side by side with the metal diecast Type-94 Shiranui model itself.
Hayate was somehow also feeling a bit of nostalgic, as soon as she took the photo frame and stared at it. The picture of herself, as well as Ave in his light-blue cadet uniform for TSAB marine defense force, together with Teana in her black Enforcer uniform, Subaru in silver ace uniform of disaster prevention division, Erio and Caro in marine defense force's blue uniform could be seen standing on the back of Fate that also in black Enforcer uniform seated side by side with Nanoha in her aerial tactical instructor corps' white uniform, as well as Vita that also wearing the same white uniform and lastly but not least Reinforce Zwei accompanied with Signum, Shamal and Reinforce Eins in their respective marine defense force's uniform navy blue colour as well.
Hayate was also wearing her navy blue marine defense force's uniform at that time, as she was standing in the middle between Ave and Subaru, meanwhile the taller Teana was standing side by side with the former wishful author himself. Hayate couldn't help herself from smiling, as she remembered about when the photograph itself was being taken. It was after the end of battle symposium that culminated during mock duel between Nanoha and Signum was somehow brought back freshly in her memory. It was when the Queen of the Night Sky also couldn't help herself from smiling even further as she remembered how battle-crazed both Signum and Nanoha during that mock duel, as they're more than eager to take each other down with all of their might.
"Cough! Cough!"
A sound of someone coughing that came from the former wishful author's room startle Hayate back to reality for all the sudden, as she remembered her very reason for visiting Ave's apartment in the first place. "Ah! I almost forget…I think I should see how bad Ave's fever is first…and also say hi if he is awake…" muttered Hayate alone under her breath, as she approached the former wishful author's room. "Ave, are you awake? This is me, Hayate…uhm, can I come?" the Queen of the Night Sky asked, as she stood right in front of front door of the former wishful author's room. There wasn't any answer, as Hayate took a deep breath before gently turned the knob of the said front door and entered the former wishful author's room, as soon as its front door opened.
"Excuse…me…"
The room itself was dim, as Hayate turned the light on. It was when the Queen of the Night Sky saw the former wishful author in front of her groaned as he opened his eyelids slowly, thanks to the sudden fluorescent light from the ceiling that was waking him up. Ave tried to adjust his focus as he saw his commander Hayate Yagami kneeled on the left side of his bed, right next to him. The former wishful author himself startled in surprise and tried to get up, although he was soon giving up the idea for doing so as he felt too weak to even getting up from his bed. It was when the said former wishful author greeted Hayate with his hoarse voice and tried his best to smile as well, albeit his sore throat almost made him coughed again.
"Hi~ ya~ commander Yagami…sorry that I look really a mess here…" greeted Ave, as he apologized while smiling weakly at Hayate in the same time as well. Hayate on the other hand was only remain silent, as she smiled gently at the former wishful author that happens to be around two and half year younger than her before gently touched his forehead with her right hand in order to measure his temperature. Hayate then was putting her left hand on her own forehead before took a deep breath and sighed. It was when the Queen of the Night Sky decided to greet the former wishful fanfic author in front of her while not forgetting to scold him as well for a little bit.
"You should just tell me if you're not feeling well before…and now, you make me as well as Nanoha-chan and Fate-chan feels really guilty for entrusting you with sheer amount of workload…" Hayate sighed again before she continued her unfinished sentence. "You're practically burning in fever na…" she finally finished her sentence and pouted in the same time. Ave was only laughed weakly in the meantime as he saw Hayate was pouting at him. It was when the former wishful author started to think Hayate's reaction was somehow cute and similar to a caring elder sister, as her right hand was still gently touching his forehead.
"Warm and gentle…"
Ave muttered alone inside his heart, as he slowly took Hayate's right hand and gently moving it away from his forehead. It was a fuzzy warm feeling inside the former wishful author's heart as his own hand touched Hayate's hand before he smiled weakly at Hayate and replying back. "I'm fine commander Yagami…cough…cough…it is just a bit of persistent cold, if I rest for a day or two…I will be recovering in no time…" Ave finished his reply, meanwhile he was only staring at his beloved commander Hayate Yagami, waiting for her reply. Hayate once again took another deep breath and sighed before smiled back at Ave and gave her reply.
"I understand about your dedication to your work na Ave…but this time you will follow my instruction, and as commander of Special Duty Section Six…I order you to have a full rest for today na…well, in the meantime can I borrow your kitchen to fix something for you?" Hayate replied back at the former wishful author in front of her, as she smiled at him with her usual gentle and somehow mischievous smile meanwhile Ave decided to ask back. "Uhm, commander Yagami…" before the former wishful author could finish his sentence, Hayate put her right hand's index finger on the air and shook it gently. "No, Ave…I told you to call me Hayate na…" Hayate replied back as she gave her first instruction at the bedridden former wishful author in front of her.
"Uhm, cough…cough…well, Hayate-san…please don't trouble yourself for doing this much for me…I have some leftover from yesterday takeaway…" before the former wishful author could finish his sentence, Hayate shook her head and quickly gave another friendly elder sister type girl's next door's lecture at the bedridden Ave in front of her. "That's not good, since you will need proper meal and nutrition in order to be able to recover quickly…just have a good rest and I take care everything na…" Hayate paused her sentence; as she stood back up on her feet before proceed to the kitchen area. It was when she stopped and turned her head before winked at the former wishful author and finished her reply.
"Soon you will enjoy my special get rest and be healthy soon chicken porridge I usually cook for Vita whenever she got cold or fever like you today na…" as soon as Hayate finished her sentence, she left the former wishful author's room to start cooking. Ave on the other hand couldn't help himself from smiling alone, as he closed his eyes in order to rest for a bit despite his sore throat and cough definitely annoy him to no end.
Flashback during the final battle on Mars approximately a month ago, inside the core of Möbius Klein…
"The Wounded Lion and Maiden of Sorrow spheres resonating one to another…as I saw many different outcome and realities as well…" muttered Ave inside his heart, as he found his Gespenst Haken descended to the very core of Möbius Klein accompanied by Nanoha with her AEC Armament Fortress equipped on her, Fate that was armed with Bardiche Assault's Riot Blade II, and both current sphere holders Setsuko Ohara and Rand Travis in their respective humanoid fighting machines identified as Virgola Glory and Gunleon Magna. "I wonder why the resonating spheres tried to make us see such things that might could be happening if we made different or wrong choices back then…" Rand made his comment, as his Gunleon Magna stepped forward meanwhile Setsuko was only remain silent as if she was in her own deep thought.
"Ne…Fate-chan, do you think this phenomenon really as something to do with Noinheim Konzern's ambition to recreate this universe via another Break The World…and for doing so, instigating the civil war on Mars?" Nanoha asked, as she was hovering side by side with her best friend (love interest), meanwhile the blonde ace enforcer herself only shook her head before replying back at Nanoha. "I'm afraid that might be the reason behind everything Nanoha…although it still didn't gave me an answer over the existence of those Xenomorph creatures they try to breed in secret…" Fate replied back, as she stared at Nanoha with worried expression on her face.
"I'm worried about Hayate and the others that waiting for us outside Möbius Klein…" as soon as Fate finished her sentence, the red highlight lines around Gespenst Haken's armour plates gleaming in scarlet colour, as the said Personal Trooper itself was showing its gleaming eyes behind the green visor that usually hides them. Once again strong resonance could be detected between the two spheres that was hovering around Gespenst Haken and to everyone surprise, those two spheres began to replicate Nautilus Carver and Magna Pile Bunker respectively.
Ave opened his eyes, as for some reason he felt a bit better after having another short nap. It was when he remembered on having a nice early evening supper from Hayate's special get rest and healthy soon chicken porridge before returning into his hibernation sleep for recovery. It was when the former wishful author tilted his head slightly; as he saw Hayate still calmly sit on the chair beside his bed while peeling and cutting an apple. Soon enough the Queen of the Night Sky noticed on how the younger former wishful fanfic author that was previously sleeping blissfully next to her already awaken, as she smiled gently at him before offering the already peeled and cut apple at him.
"Uhm, thanks Hayate-san…" Ave thanked Hayate, as he blushed slightly before accepting the small plate of already cut apple with a small silver fork from her. It was when the former wishful author decided to apologize for all the trouble he gave Hayate on that day. "Uhm, Hayate-san…I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble for today…you really don't have to…" the former wishful author paused his sentence, as Hayate was only remain silent before gently put her right hand on Ave's forehead once again in order to measure the younger former wishful author's temperature.
"Ha…Hayate-san…"
"Hmmm, good na! Your fever seems already subsided and your temperature already returning to normal…another proper rest for tonight and tomorrow, you will be recovering in no time! Well, I should say…I contribute quite a lot with my special get rest and healthy soon recipes that was passed down in Yagami dojo…am I right na!?" Hayate cheerfully made her remark and as usual was doing her self-praising joke. "Eh! I didn't know that Yagami's Strike Arts dojo was also teaching how to cook nice remedy for cold and fever…" the former wishful author gave his reply at Hayate, as he was obviously playing along with the Queen of the Night Sky's joke. Soon enough Hayate could only letting out a small chuckle as she heard the reply given to her by the younger former wishful author that was now calmly sitting on his bed while enjoying his already cut apple pieces.
"…"
"You know ne Ave…" Hayate began her story, as she smiled gently at the younger former wishful author in front of her. "Hai…" the younger former wishful author made his respond. "When I was little, I always alone by myself and everytime I am not feeling well because of a little cold or fever…I always need to go to the hospital alone in order to pick up my medication…" Hayate paused her story midway, as she was smiling at the younger former wishful author in front of her. In the meantime however, Ave was somehow noticing a hint of sadness shown on her beautiful crystal sapphire blue eyes.
"Well, that was back then…long before I met my family…my knights, my other new friends and comrades as well…nevertheless…since I somehow still could remember on how lonely I was back then, I'm actually feel happy for being able to help you here Ave…and because of that, don't ever feel bad na…since again, I am really happy that I can be here to help you recover…well, of course once again thanks to my special recipes na!" Hayate finished her story, as she gave Ave another mischievous smile before stretching her arms. It was when the former wishful author took a deep breath and decided to properly replying back at Hayate's story just now.
"Thank you Hayate-san, since it makes me feel happy to be under your care…however, I want Hayate-san to also remember…no matter what happened, ever since I met Hayate-san back then…from now todays onward, as well as far in the unseen future…Hayate-san won't be alone anymore…definitely! Since Nanoha-neesan, Fate-san and Vivio will be there, Eins, Rein, Vita, Signum-san, Shamal-san, Zafira, Miura-chan, Shari-san, Thoma, Lily, Isis and everyone will always be there for you…" Ave paused his sentence as he stared Hayate with determination shown on his eyes while continuing his reply. "Most importantly also, I will always be there for you no matter what Hayate-san! So, please don't ever feel lonely anymore!" as soon as Ave finished his reply, he quickly realized on how embarrassing his reply was as he quickly blushed away and cursed himself inside his heart.
"Way to go genius! Way to go to ruin the mood! Damn it!"
"A, ha, ha, ha, ha! This is really awkward na…by the way, you need to learn how to articulate your sentence better if you want impress other people especially the girl you like na…" replied Hayate back as she laughed, although in the same time Ave noticed a tint of blush on Hayate's cheeks as well as nervousness on her voice. "Mou! I'm serious here Hayate-san!" pouted Ave, as he took the last bite of his apple. It was when Hayate apologized while still laughing at the younger former wishful author as well in the same time. It was another short momentary silence between the former wishful author and the Queen of The Night Sky, before Hayate decided to gently smiled and planted a light kiss on Ave's forehead much to the said younger former wishful author's surprise.
"HA…HAYATE-SAN!"
"That's a good luck and get well soon charm from the Queen of the Night Sky na…and Ave, thank you for saying that to me…I'm really happy and I will definitely make sure you keep your promise to stick by my side regardless in any situation na…" replied Hayate back, as she thanked Ave for his reply just before. It was when the younger former wishful author himself quickly nodded in agreement with full determination shown on his face.
A sudden buzz from the front door's bell startle both Hayate and Ave, as the later quickly questioned the identity of any visitors that would visit them on late evening. "Ah, that's must be Vita-chan and everyone else…" Hayate informed the younger former wishful author in front of her, as she stood back and walked to the front door in order to let her knights as well as her best friends Nanoha, Fate and Vivio enter Ave's apartment. Soon enough, violent footstep could be heard as certain redhead "midget" knight entered the former wishful author's room, and quickly shout her greeting.
"Hayate's errand boy! You're still alive aren't you?" Vita made her greeting with her usual Vita-centric, as she quickly hung her white aerial tactical instructor jacket on the hanger side by side with Hayate's Marine Defense Force's navy blue jacket uniform and Ave's navy blue jacket uniform as well. "First lieutenant Vita…please don't scare me like that…I'm still alive but I could die at anytime thanks to the heart attack you have been causing…" replied Ave back while in the same time grinned and half complaining at the redhead Wolkenritter in front of him. It was when Vita quickly smacked the former wishful author's back and laughed.
"C'mon Hayate's errand boy! I know this kind of greeting won't kill ya easily!" replied Vita back while grinning in the same time, meanwhile the former wishful author could only winced in slightly pain, while in the same time saw Signum, Shamal, Zafira, Nanoha, Fate, Arf and Vivio entered his room as well followed by Hayate. "Ave-nii, are you alright? Nanoha-mama told me that you're such in a wreck this morning…are you feeling better now?" Vivio quickly asked her adopted eldest brother (or perhaps uncle?), obviously really concerned over the former wishful author's health. Ave was only smiling back at Vivio before reassuring her that he was fine and already slowly recovering from his fever. It was when Vivio sighed in relief before smiling back at Ave, meanwhile her hybrid-intelligent device Sacred Heart (Chris) was also floating around her with happy approval as well.
"Ave-kun, please forgive us for coming in a big group…Fate-chan, Arf and Vivio insisted to come along as well, since they're really worried about you…" Nanoha apologized; as she bowed her body slightly while doing the exact same thing that Hayate just did in order to measure the former wishful author's temperature. "Seems your fever already subsided and your temperature slowly back to normal…" Nanoha made another remark, as she smiled at her adoptive younger brother in the same time. "I think, tomorrow I should be able to return to work…and Nanoha-neesan, I'm sorry if I'm causing so much worry for you…" the former wishful author apologized meanwhile Nanoha shook her head and told him not to feel bad and worry about it.
In the meantime, as soon as Fate, Arf, Signum, Shamal and Zafira greet the former wishful author, Vita quickly borrowed Ave's Playstation Vita handheld console in order to continue on playing her favourite strategy role playing game software that was known as Super Robot Taisen Impact ~ New Translation ~. "Mou, Vita…she's really get herself attached on the red Alteisen mecha from Impact na…too bad yours is azure blue instead of magma red na Ave…" Hayate made her remark, as she was only giggled as she saw Vita's dreamy eyes that was currently admiring SD (Super Deformed) Alteisen sprite that took down one of its enemy with its claymore bombardment attack.
"Beats me, but mine is AI-controlled and usually referred as Nacht although I decide to call it Alteisen instead…" replied Ave back, as he smiled at Hayate, meanwhile Vivio quickly made her comment as well. "So, similar to Abend that always being referred as Weissritter instead by Ave-nii…am I correct?" Vivio finished her comment, as the former wishful author quickly pat Vivio's head before replying back. "Well done Vi! You're right! Well, the official name for those two units are Alteisen Nacht and Weissritter Abend…but I wonder why we start on talking about work again as soon as everyone gathered here…" the former wishful author replied back at Vivio, as in the meantime grinned at everyone presented in his room before his visitors could only either smiling or burst in laugh with Vita for exception since she was still glued at Super Robot Taisen Impact game for PS Vita in front of her.
"Too bad Eins, Rein and Agito-chan are currently having another night shift together with Shari…since I bet they would love to visit you as well…" Shamal made her remark, as she smiled at Ave meanwhile in the same time summoning a small hologram touch screen in front of her. "Well, that's quite a shame…uh, oh…Shamal-sensei…what was that screen for?" Ave asked back, as soon as he finished his reply meanwhile Shamal was only smiling back at the younger former wishful author in front of her before answering back in order to explain the purpose of the hologram screen in front of her.
"Oh, I'm just checking the latest current condition of your physical body Ave-kun and I will prepare the right amount of vitamins, nutrition, and the correct medicines to help you recover as quickly as possible…just trust everything to Shamal-sensei ne…" replied Shamal back, as she smiled and winked at Ave meanwhile the said former wishful fanfic author himself only nodded back in agreement albeit reluctantly.
Despite the crowd that gathered at his apartment, Ave was somehow feel relaxed. It was a lot more relaxed than back then in his old homeworld, as far as he could remember since such memories was already might long forgotten ever since he accepted the offer to become another Time Diver and the one and only pilot as well as meister for Gespenst series Personal Trooper units known as Gespenst Haken, Alteisen "Nacht" and Weissritter "Abend" respectively. The former wishful fanfic author was then took a deep breath as he leaned his head on the back of his bed where his pillow was made into comfortable cushion where he could lean his back comfortably before he smiled alone as he saw everyone that seems enjoying themselves in friendly conversation.
"Are you feeling better Ave?" the former wishful author turned his attention, as his beloved commander Hayate Yagami took a seat beside him before smiled gently at him. "Well, yes…and thank you for nursing me back to health Hayate-san…as well as I also feel grateful for everyone else that care about me and allocate their precious time to visit me…well, including Vita of course…" as soon as Ave finished his reply, he was just laughed meanwhile Hayate only smiled back at him before glanced at her faithful Knight of the Iron Hammer that once again giving her victorious war cry as she clear another level with his newly upgraded Alteisen Riese; in her favourite Super Robot Taisen Impact game software obviously.
"We always think of you as our best friend, moreover Nanoha-chan and Vivio have already consider you as part of their family na…so it would be obvious that everyone really worried about you, when they learn about your fever this morning…well, I think now everyone would feel more relieved after seeing you getting better already na…" replied Hayate back, as she smiled at the younger former wishful author beside her that only nodded in agreement over her reply.
"Thank you Hayate-san…"
Once again the former wishful author thanked his beloved commander, as Hayate herself was only smiled and told him to not worry too much about that. In the end both Ave and Hayate realized on how they were both indeed being blessed. Since no matter what happened, from that fateful day when the said former wishful author choose to become another Time Diver, as well as another fateful day in which Hayate chose to bestow the Book of Darkness with a new name "Reinforce", the two of them will never be alone anymore. As the beautiful blue sky that both Ave and Hayate as well as everyone else gave to each other will always be there after all.
To Be Continued…
