Epilogue EP.27
> (Side Story) Arius' Suicide Seeker EP.28"...Ah, hello. Good morning, Sensei."
"...Yes? You think I should rest a bit? No, I'm fine. This is nothing compared to what Sora-senpai went through..."
"Ahem, excuse me. I'll be going now."
"Another busy day begins for the Abydos Countermeasures Committee."
"The Countermeasures Committee has been officially recognized as a formal club of Abydos High School, thanks to Sensei's official certification."
"There was a lot of trouble because of this... especially since we wanted to make things official after everything that happened."
"Thanks to that, the Countermeasures Committee has taken on the responsibilities of the Abydos Student Council."
"Personally, I wished Hoshino-senpai would take the position of student council president... but now is not the time to bring that up."
"So, the student council president position is still vacant."
*
"Welcome! Shibaseki Ramen!"
["Shibaseki Ramen has reopened as a food stall."]
["Business is doing well, so Serika-chan was able to get her part-time job back."]
["The master is also working with renewed enthusiasm... so it seems his retirement has been postponed for a while."]
"....Sigh..."
["...But still, I can't forget what happened that day, so sometimes I can't help but feel down."]
["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..."
"Kaiser Corporation is under investigation by the General Student Council for illegal financial transactions in the black market."
"I wonder if Hifumi-san had something to do with Trinity getting involved..."
"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."
"The PMC director has become the prime suspect in the illegal student kidnapping and is now a wanted fugitive after the incident."
"Kaiser Corporation has distanced themselves, claiming they have no connection, and fired him. So that's what corporations are like..."
"The arbitrarily increased interest rates also became an issue, so Abydos now pays much less interest than before. That's good news."
"He's still wanted, but with the General Student Council in a state of paralysis, it won't be easy to catch him."
*
"Most of the Abydos autonomous district... still remains under the ownership of Kaiser Corporation."
"The deal between Abydos and Kaiser is still valid, after all."
"Oh, and it seems the Problem Solvers have set up an office somewhere else again..."
"There are rumors that they went back to Gehenna's autonomous district or went somewhere else, so I don't know the details..."
"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."
*
"As for the man in the black suit..."
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find any information about him anywhere."
"All the blame fell on the Kaiser director... and we don't even know his name or identity..."
"Since there's nothing more I can find out, I regretfully have to leave the rest to Schale."
"...Ah, but Hoshino-senpai is still planning to search for him... She said she'll definitely make him pay for his crimes..."
"Of course, we feel the same way... So Sensei, please find him. Find the criminal who did that to Sora-senpai, no matter what."
*
"...And most importantly, Sora-senpai."
Beep...! Beep...! Beep...!
"Thanks to Sensei's actions, she thankfully survived, but she hasn't woken up yet."
"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..."
"...And Hoshino-senpai refuses to leave Sora-senpai's side."
"She attends meetings and occasionally disappears at night... but I'm worried she might collapse at any moment."
"...Sensei, Sora-senpai will wake up, right...?"
*
Beep...! Beep...! Beep...!
"Uhehe~ So, this time Serika-chan brought something called digital currency~"
In a hospital room in Abydos.
The rhythmic beeping of a machine and a bright, yet somewhat sorrowful voice echoed through the room.
"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~"
"...So, Sora-chan..."
"Please wake up now... Please..."
Her cry was filled with immense sadness... but unfortunately, Sora did not wake up.
"Uhehe, sorry... I got weak again."
"Well, I should go now. The meeting will start soon."
Hoshino wiped away her tears discreetly and stood up.
"I'll see you later, Sora-chan."
The door opened and closed with a click.
Beep...! Beep...! Beep...!
Shuffle
"......Ah."
"I failed to die again..."
