Epilogue

And so one by one.the goddesses left.

Natsumi and Toukairin share a candlelight dinner on the rooftop of Bokuto Station.

Leaving no memories.

"Honey!" Sena said cheerfully. "Would you like some tea? I don't know why, but lately I seem to be craving for afternoon tea!"

Except maybe for some chosen few who will carry the experiences forever in their hearts.

Yoriko was typing listlessly on her keyboard. Her mind couldn't concentrate on work and it certainly wasn't helping her think of a new web page design. She sighed. It didn't seem fair. Aoi got a chance to clear her troubled emotions, while Yoriko somehow got caught in the middle of his healing process and came out being emotionally unstable herself.

She knew that that was a selfish thought and that made her feel much worse.

The door opened.

"Hey, Aoi."

"Good morning, Aoi."

Yoriko slowly raised her head. Aoi came in, all dolled up and dressed in a skirt. Still the prettiest officer in the station.

"Hi, Aoi," She mumbled.

What had she expected? An overnight change of heart? A miracle? Aoi actually grasping his freedom and letting the past go forever?

Aaaaarrghh.

Yoriko groaned and laid her head on her desk.

The beep of incoming mail caught her attention then. She glanced up, scrolling down to her new mail.

To: yoriko_chan@bokuto.com From Aoi_Futaba@bokuto.com

Yoriko sat up straighter in her seat.

There was only 1 line, with 3 words. Yoriko read through it several times to be sure.

Wait for me.

Smiling brightly, she placed it on one of her folders. She leaned back in her chair, reveling on newfound emotions that were building up inside her. No less confusing than her previous feelings, but it was different.

Smiling cheerfully, she called the nearby officers over to discuss her latest scheme.

Aoi watched her from the corner of his eye. He sighed then, but it was a deep sigh of relief as he realized that at long last, he could look forward to tomorrow.

And in another part of the world, another wrong number would make its way to the Goddess Network.
