Epilogue
The next day after the battle, I woke up at my usual time and headed for the kitchen, there I saw the nostalgic sight of Kazuma, Megumin and Darkness sitting together.
"THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS SUPPOSE TO WORK!" Darkness shouted.
"I am telling you, by defeating such a powerful enemy, I will get to live even more lazily in the castle now." Kazuma said.
"Come back to Axel with us, dont you miss me?" Megumin asked.
"Not at all, I get to laze around the castle all day long, I have people waiting on me... And most of all, I have to be here for Iris's sake." Kazuma said
"HELLO! WIFE HERE!" Megumin said while pointing to herself.
"Unlike you, the kids and grandkids visit you regularly. Iris lost her spouse and children to Glacius dont you remember? They died in the front lines." Kazuma said.
"That's..." Megumin paused.
"Besides, she only has Ermiana and Me as family now. You could always move in here and teleport to school with Yunyun." Kazuma added.
"Hmm..." Megumin thought to herself.
"Ne... Kazuma, I have been wanting to ask, who is more powerful? Ermiana or Iris?" I jumped in mid-conversation and asked.
"Of course Ermiana is more powerful. She is 2 generations of heroes more powerful than Iris. On top of having all the abilities Iris has, Ermiana is able to dual-wield and imbue elemental attributes into her attacks. She also has a higher mana base." Kazuma replied
"Bloodline... Of heroes?" I tilted my head in confusion.
"Japanese cheat users." Kazuma replied.
"Where are they anyway?"
"Ermiana went to the guild capital to sort out the destruction of the capital walls." Darkenss said
"Our children are out fighting on the frontlines, while our grandkids are probably out harassing people again." Megumin said.
"I wonder where they get the habit of disturbing the peace? I thought they'd be more like us" Kazuma said
Darkness narrowed her eyes and glared at Kazuma and Megumin.
"Hey, do we get a huge reward for defeating Glacius?"
"Of course we do! This just helps fund my hobby!" Kazuma said joyfully.
"You mean doing nothing?" Darkness said
"Or lazing around?" Megumin said
"Why would I even work? The fact that I fought in the frontline this time should be considered a miracle... Which reminds me, I never got my equipment back!" Kazuma said.
"Eeep!" Megumin and Darkness looked surprised.
"Those are my emergency funds, now hand them back! Unless you can afford it." Kazuma said with an evil grin.
"Hey, this can be our anniversary gift right?" Megumin timidly said.
"Nice try, now hand them over! Darkness that goes for you too!" Kazuma said.
Darkness and Megumin both drooped their heads and handed the rings and bracelet over.
"We will return the cape later." Megumin said dejectedly while pouting.
"Oh right, Aqua I have something for you!" Kazuma said and went off somewhere.
"Say, where did Kazuma picked up the high level priest skills?"
"From Zesta-sama and Cecily! Kazuma had too many skills points and skill points potions." Megumin said.
"Wait! This is the first I've heard of it!" Darkness interjected.
"He maxed out alchemy and blacksmithing when we had our first child. He was worried financially, I still cant believe he wouldnt let me name our kid." Megumin said with a pout.
"Aqua!" Kazuma called out with his hands behind his back.
"Gimme gimme!"
Kazuma hands me a Megumin doll and a Darkness doll.
"H-here, this is to keep you company if you ever feel lonely. I saw you had a doll of me, I felt that you should also have one of Megumin and Darkness as well." Kazuma said while averting his gaze and blushing.
"Thank you Kazuma-san" I received the dolls from Kazuma, they are pretty well-made!
"Wait... How did you know I had a doll of you? Did you go into my room!?"
"That... That's! Yeah... I was... Err... I was looking for clues for something you might like to give you as a present." Kazuma frantically said.
My all-seeing eye is telling me that he was dishonest, but I should forgive him.
"Aww... That is very sweet of you Kazuma, is it because I said that I have never received anything cool from you?"
"Y-yes! That is it! Exactly what you said!" Kazuma replied.
"Aqua, do you want to stay here for a while more? You dont have to go back immediately right?" Darkness asks.
"I guess I could stay here for a while, it is nice to be served here. Back in the heavenly realm, the angels that used to serve me could use a break too."
And with that I decided to stay here for a bit longer, the heavenly realm would do fine without me for a moment.
Meanwhile in the heavenly realm.
"I dont know where Aqua-sama went!" Angel cried out.
"W-we gotta find her quick! It's happening all over again!" A blonde Goddess panickedly screamed.
"She just opened a portal and disappeared!" Angel said panickedly
"NO ONE HERE KNOWS HOW THE REINCARNATION SYSTEM WORKS! It's happening all over again!" The blonde Goddess screamed.
"C-cant we just send them all to Heaven?" Angel cried out.
"The populations of all the worlds will decline if no one decides to reincarnate!" The blonde Goddess screamed.
"Eris! MAYBE ERIS MIGHT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!" Angel shouted.
"ERIS IS MISSING TOO!" The blonde Goddess panickedly screamed.
"WHY DO THEY ALWAYS DISAPPEAR AT THE MOST CRUCIAL TIMING!" Angel shouted.
"WHAT DO WE DO NOW? EVERYTHING IS IN CHAOS!" Both Angel and the Goddess shouted.
