CAST REACTS TO GUYS' NIGHT OUT: EPILOGUE

(LINK TO GUYS NIGHT OUT: /works/27609812/chapters/67546496#workskin)

Alright, first things first. Rest in peace, Kentaro Miura. You'll always be remembered whenever the greatest mangaka's or manga's of all times are talked about.

Secondly, sorry for the late update, even though the chapter isn't really long.

Thirdly, I hope you enjoy it.

"That was nice to see!", Felt said, as she got up from her seat and stretched herself, her back too tired from sitting for so long. Finally, something not related with death and sorrow.

Tired from the viewing, most of the people got up from there seat, realizing that the time to rest was drawing in closer.

Beatrice was still seated in her contractor's lap, rubbing her head against his chin.

"When are you going to wake up, I suppose. Everything is so monotonous in your absence. Betty wants to hear you say something, in fact." She said and heard someone giggle. Startled, Beatrice looked around to find Petra tittering while her palms covered her mouth.

"What is there to laugh I suppose? B… Betty was just being worried about her Subaru. Are you trying to mock Betty, I suppose?" She hollered with pink face.

"It's just -heh-, it's so funny that Beatrice-sama can be this cute when she's usually being a… what was it again… ah yes! A tsundere loli as Subaru calls her", Petra explained while still trying to hold back her laughter.

"Y…You…why you. Wait there!", Beatrice shouted, as she got out of Subaru's lap and began chasing Petra.

"What a waste of time", Priscilla got up from her seat and started walking towards her room, not even waiting for permission.

"I mean, it wasn't that bad. I actually had a good time, especially after all the dreadful viewings till now", Al commented.

"Shut up and follow. It had nothing that could assist me in any form. Why should a divine presence such as me watch commoners like you enjoying their trash, while being trapped in this messy hall?"

The Vollachian princess was getting more and more annoyed every passing second. The viewings were only displaying how special the knights of the other princesses were, while hers was a good for nothing servant.

Before turning towards her room, she shot one final glance at the sleeping boy and the sword saint.

"One day they'll all will be bowing in front me anyways", she thought and huffed, and went inside her room, followed by Aldebran, who knew that a good beating was coming next.

"Oi, Otto. Come on now, what happened can't be undone. Forgive me already" Garfiel once again tried to apologize to Otto for his hat that met with a cruel fate.

Otto was pouting like a tsundere.

"Oh come on. I will give you this 'cula' can, if you calm down." (Got the reference?)

Suddenly Beatrice ran from between them, looking for Petra (who, by the way, was hiding behind Fredrica).

"It's called a 'cola', in fact", she said and went on her way.

"Yeah, whatever the little twerp said."

"Stop giving me such an obvious bribe!", Otto exploded, as Garfiel tried to whistle like his captain, but it didn't work.

"I will never forgive you for this, that hat was a special one, the second love of my life." Otto replied in anger.

The reply intrigued Garfiel a bit. "Who was the first one?" he asked with curiosity, and a smug face.

All of a sudden, Otto forgot that he was supposed to be angry, and his face got all flushed up. His face turned red, and after a lot of thinking he thought about sharing the truth with his brother. Rubbing both his index fingers at each other, he replied, "A… A ca-t."

Garfiel just stood in his place for the next 10 seconds, trying to process what he heard.

.

He looked at Otto from head to toe.

.

Then he turned back and looked at Felix from top to bottom.

"The fuck?"

"I know it's weird, but it is what it is, okay. Don't judge me." Otto said meekly, not knowing that Garfiel was understanding something even worse.

Garfiel facepalmed, wondering why everything was so gay today. Sure, Felix looks kinda cute which explains why Otto fell for him but…

"I see nothing wrong in it", he said to Otto in a forced smile, while shooting a thumbs up. In the back of his mind, he was devising ways to keep Otto away from Felix. Anyone but Felix, even Ricardo would d- on a second thought, no. Neither of them.

"What, r-really?", Otto couldn't believe his ears.

He went close to Garfiel and hugged him. "Finally, someone understands! You're a real bro, Garf!" he cried, while Garfiel was sweating.

In one of the corners of the room, the margrave and his maid were talking.

"What will be our next step, Roswaal-sama?", Ram asked her master.

"From what you've asked me, I expect you don't hold any grudges against me, yes?" Roswaal asked, without trying any funny voices.

"No, Ram doesn't hold anything against you. But that doesn't mean Ram has forgiven you. Now that Ram knows what actually happened in the sanctuary, and the fact that Rem could've been saved if you didn't leave everything to Barusu, Ram cannot simply overlook this situation." Ram said everything honestly.

"That is… understandable. But leaving that aside, the most important fact is to make sure none of the other camps try to take Subaru-kun away from us."

"Ram is sure neither Emilia-sama would allow it, nor Barusu would want that."

"Yes, but I'm sure other camps would come up with a million reasons why Subaru-kun shouldn't stay in the Emilia camp. We have been thinking of ideas, but remember, the more carefully you scheme, the more unexpected events come along. I'm especially wary of the Anastasia camp." Roswaal voiced his suspicion.

"Roswaal-sama, if I'm allowed then may I ask something?"

"I'm sure I've already lost my status to order anyone at this point. You may say whatever you want", said Roswaal, knowing that none of his camp members would trust him now.

"You plan to use 'Return by death' to achieve your own your own goal, don't you?" Ram went straight to the point.

"No, of course not. Have I not lost my bet with Subaru-kun already?", Roswaal said with a smirk.

Both of them looked deeply into each other's eyes, when-

"Yes, you have, and you better remember that if you worry about your life", Rem joined the conversation.

Rem hated Roswaal at this point. It was hard deciding whom she hated more to be honest, Roswaal or the witch cult. Not only did made her hero suffer again and again, but also killed his sister in one of the loops for his own benefit.

"Oh Rem, youuuuuu have joined us at the perfect moment. We were discussing-"

"Nee-sama, Emilia-sama has asked you to stay away from this man. You shouldn't refrain from her orders", Rem said, ignoring Roswaal's words, and pulled Ram away by hand.

"Wait Rem listen to Roswaal-sa-"

"You can ignore me all you want, let me just make this declaration", Roswaal said, making Rem and Ram stop.

"What is it?", Rem asked without turning back.

"I have assessed how things have been going and it would be safe to assume that many people here want me dead", Roswaal said in a calm tone, finally bringing his own plan into action.

"So, I hope you do remember, if fate has other plans and I'm found dead in the future, whatever the reason may be-"

And as the wide grin of the trickster on his face returned, he continued

"- Annerose must be declared the next ruler of the Mather's Domain."

"What do you plan to do with margrave, Julius?", Reinhard asked.

"Isn't it obvious, we tie him up for now and once we get out of this place, we get him behind the bars", Julius said, wanting nothing more than Roswaal's execution.

"And how are you gonna do that?" Anastasia hopped in the conversation.

"Welcome, Anastasia-sama. As I was saying, being a member of the Royal knights, I cannot simply let this slide. I will make it public that Roswaal L. Mather's plans to kill the holy Dragon that watches over Lugunica. And he also tried to use a Royal candidate for his own good, even going as far as to harm her. He's not someone we can allow to roam freely"

"Oh… But Julius-kun, how are you going to prove that?", the merchant pointed out.

"Huh?" Both Reinhard and Julius were confused.

"I mean, what will you say? "We got abducted by some alien entity who showed us the unseen past"? Do you think anyone will believe you?" she explained.

"Ghk", Julius realized that no one would actually believe his tale, because he has no concrete proof.

"But, we can't let this slide just like that", Reinhard tried to reason out.

"And make Natsuki-kun's power public? Do you realize how dangerous that can be if, say someone from the witch cult came to know about it?" Anastasia shot him down.

Reinhard lowered his head.

"The best we can do for now is keep a watch on the margrave once we get out of this place. I'm sure the Emilia camp will be cautious of him", she said, while her mind was thinking something else. "Not that I'm going to let such a strong asset as Natsuki-kun stay in that camp."

Both the knights nodded in agreement.

"I hope you are feeling better now, Crusch-san", said the half elf.

"Yes Emilia-sama, sorry for making you worry", Crusch apologized, still feeling bad about the behaviour she had put up.

Both were looking deep into each other's eyes, and it looked as if lightning was coming out of them, as the held the hand of the boy sitting in between. They both realized that the other one wanted to take him away.

Ummm…

The voice caught everybody's attention.

I think you guys should go and rest now. My time here is done, your previous warden will soon return.

"When will we allowed to go back to our normal lives?" Felt asked a question which was on everybody's mind.

Eventually

Don't worry, it won't take long

But for now, you should go back to your rooms, there's something special planned for you all once you wake up.

Everybody looked at each other, wondering what the 'special' thing would be. Soon, they started getting up and returning to their rooms.

Julius was tying up Roswaal back in the corner.

"So, I guess I have even lost the privilege to sleep on a bed?", Roswaal asked to further annoy Julius.

"Yes, you have. We can't let you in a room, where no one's watching. Now keep your mouth shut", saying that, he tied a piece of cloth on Roswaal's mouth, and returned back to his room.

Emilia was also leaving her seat. She hugged her sleeping knight once and then started walking towards her room. She wanted to put Subaru on a proper bed, but others would not allow Emilia to take him to her room, so she had no choice but to leave him on his seat.

Soon, the only people left in the hall were Roswaal chained up in a corner and Subaru on his seat, both sleeping.

Few hours had passed, and everyone was deep asleep.

I guess, it is time now…

The warden was about to finish his final task before taking his leave.

Wake up

As soon as he called out inside the boy's mind, the black-haired knight opened his eyes.

"Mmmh"

He looked at the floor which was unrecognizable and blurry. Rubbing is eyes he looked around.

"Huh?"

"What is this place?"

The place was not something he would expect to see in this world. It was like a movie theatre, with multiple cabins on the right, and some entity tied up in a corner.

Hey you, you're finally awake

"Wha…?"

Suddenly realization hit him.

"Oh please no… Please tell me this is a lie… I don't even remember trying to cross any border", he agonized.

What… NO. You've got it all wrong.

"Huh?"

And then went a very long sequence of questions and explanations...

"Y-You mean… everyone knows about 'Return by Death' now?" the boy asked.

Yes

And then he snapped.

"SHUT UP! Who asked you to do so? Why would you show the forgotten past to everyone? This will only cause more trouble. The camp will suffer, especially after knowing what Roswaal did. Everyone will feel bad for what happened. I never wanted this to happen. Why did you…"

And then he sat down with his hand in his head, wondering what to do next.

"Why did this happen? What do I do now? Should I kill myself, hoping that everything would go back?"

As if

"Huh?"

Listen up kid, there are a lot of reasons to this. One of them being that the challenges you are going to face from here on will be much harder than the ones you have faced earlier. It was necessary to let your friends know about it, so that they can help you.

"Why would you do all this?"

I can't say that, not for now. But it's time for me to leave soon as the previous one returns. Your friends are about to wake up soon too. Rather than wondering if you should kill yourself or not, which will be in fact futile anyway, you should wonder what to say to them when you meet with them.

Subaru sat down on his seat and thought. If what the screen had explained to him about the time when he was asleep is true, then a lot of things have changed. Everybody's view regarding him has changed. Rem has woken from her deep slumber too. He wondered how he will face them.

"Useless, Useless, Useless, Useless", said Roswaal, who was sleep talking and dreaming himself as some vampire.

"Who's that on the back?", Subaru got up from his seat to have a clear look, just to see a chained up Roswaal as if he was actually enjoying it.

"HOLY BUDDHA, what in the world?"

It's… hard to explain

Anyways, I take my leave now

Good luck

Emilia was scared. Scared from remembering all that had happened, scared from thinking what was about to come. The other timelines that she had heard about had Subaru go down a wrong path, a path away from her.

Then there was the envy path, the future that was about to come. What did the future have in store for her and her knight? If the visions that she had during her third trial in the sanctuary were to be considered, the future didn't look too bright.

Hope was the only thing she could have for now.

Her mind preoccupied with all these thoughts; she opened the door.

"Yo, Emilia-tan!"

He was standing there, waving from a distance of just a few steps, with a bright smile on his face.

She looked into his eyes, he looked in hers.

Time stopped for a while.

"Actually, the thing is-"

And before he could further continue, he was forced down to the ground, when Emilia jumped to hug him.

She didn't say anything but he could feel the tear drops pouring without a break near his neck.

And at the same time, the other gates started to open. Some smiled with glee, some cried with happiness, as they all shouted in unison

"SUBARU!"

And with that, here's the ending. Thank you for reading it till the end.

Now many would say I should've written more of Subaru's interactions with others, but I want to see it happen in WHDAAA instead. This short react fic series was fun to write, but this is as far as I write, in terms of react fics. The main reason to write this was, if I've not said it too many times already, how much I like guy's night out. My next plan is to finish one of my fics which has been on hiatus for quite a long time, and then start a new one.

With this, I hope you have a good day/afternoon/evening.

This is The_Appa_Man, and once again, for reading my fic till this far

Thank You.
