Epilogue "Happiness of Fragments"

"So that is how your father and I met and fell in love." Rika, who now was an adult, then gently patted on the little girl's hair

"Hoo…" The little girl was quite surprised as she never expected that there would such an amazing story behind her parents.

"What are you talking about?" A male asked as the door behind them opened.

"Keiichi, welcome home." Rika said as Maebara Keiichi took a seat beside them.

"Daddy, mommy told me about how you two met." The little girl told her father as a big grin appeared on her face.

"Is that so?" Keiichi smiled as he then looked at his wife.

Then seconds later, the door bell rang and the young girl quickly got up.

"It must be my friends." With that said, she quickly made her way out of the room.

"Get back before dinner, Hannyu." Rika then said to her daughter, to which the little girl replied, "I know, be back around five."

Keiichi smiled as he watched his daughter ran off, then he turned his attention back onto his wife.

"Someday, she will meet someone as well." Rika said as her gaze fixed on her husband.

"It is the other her that brought us out of the eternal cycle." Rika then said sadly as her husband gently patted her head.

Then there was silence between the two of them, but yet it was not uncomfortable.

"Ai shiteru, Keiichi." Rika then slightly leaned back into Keiichi's chest.

Keiichi did not say anything as he held onto the younger girl from behind, whom had been through hell with him and his friends, their friends to be exact, and had struggle for hundreds of years.

"I love you too." Keiichi replied as he felt the warmth of the younger woman's body.

While the two lovers embraced, a pair of eyes watched from the plain outside the world.

"I have finally won this game." A girl who look exactly like Furude Rika in sundress said as a glass shard displayed the image of Keiichi embracing Rika.

"I think this will be it." The girl said as a smile appeared on her face.

Then blue butterflies appeared around the girl as her figure slowly disappeared.

"It is for her and my sake that I shall leave." The girl said as her closed her eyes.

"I should get going, or else Lamdadelta might try something funny again." With that said, the girl disappeared, leaving eternal darkness behind.
