Epilogue EP.27
"...Ah, hello. Good morning, Sensei."
Â
Â
Â
"...Yes? You think I should rest a bit? No, I'm fine. This is nothing compared to what Sora-senpai went through..."
Â
Â
Â
"Ahem, excuse me. I'll be going now."
Â
Â
Â
"Another busy day begins for the Abydos Countermeasures Committee."
Â
Â
Â
"The Countermeasures Committee has been officially recognized as a formal club of Abydos High School, thanks to Sensei's official certification."
Â
Â
Â
"There was a lot of trouble because of this... especially since we wanted to make things official after everything that happened."
Â
Â
Â
"Thanks to that, the Countermeasures Committee has taken on the responsibilities of the Abydos Student Council."
Â
Â
Â
"Personally, I wished Hoshino-senpai would take the position of student council president... but now is not the time to bring that up."
Â
Â
Â
"So, the student council president position is still vacant."

"Welcome! Shibaseki Ramen!"
Â
["Shibaseki Ramen has reopened as a food stall."]
Â
Â
Â
["Business is doing well, so Serika-chan was able to get her part-time job back."]
Â
Â
Â
["The master is also working with renewed enthusiasm... so it seems his retirement has been postponed for a while."]
Â
Â
Â
"....Sigh..."
Â
Â
Â
["...But still, I can't forget what happened that day, so sometimes I can't help but feel down."]
Â
Â
Â
["Still, I think Serika-chan is amazing. I'm still... No, let's not talk about that."]

"Sora-senpai's case is over, but Abydos' debt is still 900 million yen... Well, that hasn't changed from the beginning..."
Â
Â
Â
"Kaiser Corporation is under investigation by the General Student Council for illegal financial transactions in the black market."
Â
Â
Â
"I wonder if Hifumi-san had something to do with Trinity getting involved..."
Â
Â
Â
"Honestly, I'm skeptical about how far the General Student Council can investigate... but I think Kaiser Corporation won't be able to operate as illegally as before."
Â
Â
Â
"The PMC director has become the prime suspect in the illegal student kidnapping and is now a wanted fugitive after the incident."
Â
Â
Â
"Kaiser Corporation has distanced themselves, claiming they have no connection, and fired him. So that's what corporations are like..."
Â
Â
Â
"The arbitrarily increased interest rates also became an issue, so Abydos now pays much less interest than before. That's good news."
Â
Â
Â
"He's still wanted, but with the General Student Council in a state of paralysis, it won't be easy to catch him."
Â
Â
Â
*
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Most of the Abydos autonomous district... still remains under the ownership of Kaiser Corporation."
Â
Â
Â
"The deal between Abydos and Kaiser is still valid, after all."
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, and it seems the Problem Solvers have set up an office somewhere else again..."
Â
Â
Â
"There are rumors that they went back to Gehenna's autonomous district or went somewhere else, so I don't know the details..."
Â
Â
Â
"The Prefect Team is keeping a close eye on them to make sure they don't cause any more trouble... so they must have a lot to worry about."
Â
Â

Â
Â
Â
Â
"As for the man in the black suit..."
Â
Â
Â
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find any information about him anywhere."
Â
Â
Â
"All the blame fell on the Kaiser director... and we don't even know his name or identity..."
Â
Â
Â
"Since there's nothing more I can find out, I regretfully have to leave the rest to Schale."
Â
Â
Â
"...Ah, but Hoshino-senpai is still planning to search for him... She said she'll definitely make him pay for his crimes..."
Â
Â
Â
"Of course, we feel the same way... So Sensei, please find him. Find the criminal who did that to Sora-senpai, no matter what."
Â
Â

Â
"...And most importantly, Sora-senpai."
Â
Â
Â
Beep...! Beep...! Beep...!
Â
Â
Â
"Thanks to Sensei's actions, she thankfully survived, but she hasn't woken up yet."
Â
Â
Â
"The doctor said it's a miracle. That there's nothing more they can do to treat her. That all we can do is wait..."
Â
Â
Â
"...And Hoshino-senpai refuses to leave Sora-senpai's side."
Â
Â
Â
"She attends meetings and occasionally disappears at night... but I'm worried she might collapse at any moment."
Â
Â
Â
"...Sensei, Sora-senpai will wake up, right...?"
Â
Â

Â
"Uhehe~ So, this time Serika-chan brought something called digital currency~"
Â
Â
Â
In a hospital room in Abydos.
Â
Â
Â
The rhythmic beeping of a machine and a bright, yet somewhat sorrowful voice echoed through the room.
Â
Â
Â
"Ah, and there was a suggestion to go on vacation. When Sora-chan gets better, I want to go to the beach or something~ Maybe we can see whales~"
Â
Â
Â
"...So, Sora-chan..."
Â
Â
Â
"Please wake up now... Please..."
Â
Â
Â
Her cry was filled with immense sadness... but unfortunately, Sora did not wake up.
Â
Â
Â
"Uhehe, sorry... I got weak again."
Â
Â
Â
"Well, I should go now. The meeting will start soon."
Â
Â
Â
Hoshino wiped away her tears discreetly and stood up.
Â
Â
Â
"I'll see you later, Sora-chan."
Â
Â
Â
The door opened and closed with a click.
Â
Â
Â
Beep...! Beep...! Beep...!

Â

Â

"......Ah."
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"I failed to die again..."
