Epilogue: The villains have become obsessive bosses.
A small light dispels the darkness, and a small crackling sound awakens the silence.
What is surprising here is that there are currently people in this space.
That’s 5 people.
[…Currently, restoration work has begun on the destroyed site, and it is reported that there are no civilian casualties. In addition, in this incident, the villains who sacrificed themselves while fighting alongside the magical girls were filmed on camera, causing many people to criticize them. Due to this situation, voices are growing louder that discrimination and oppression against villains should be reduced. The next news is…]
“…Really. Did you think about this before you acted?”
Crow picked up the remote control and completely turned off the TV, which had been able to relieve the silence.
When the TV was turned off, the light and sound that did come out disappeared, and the people present had to rely on the light of a small fluorescent light.
“Maybe so. He was the boss.”
“…I see.”
Crow nodded at Bishop’s words and naturally handed out a piece of tissue to Haein, who was still sobbing.
As the tissue became wet with tears and the atmosphere became heavy, Crow stood up, looked at the clock and said.
“Let’s go now. I have to see the boss off on his final journey.”
As Crow took the lead, all the other villains also stood up and followed him.
Xiao.
Haein.
Bishop.
Apothecary.
Everyone finally opened the door and stepped outside, cold, humid air blowing into their faces.
The sky was pouring down rain.
Their costumes were as black as the dark sky, and the villains, including Crow, seemed as if they would melt into the darkness.
Crow silently opened his umbrella and threw himself into the rain, quietly stepping on the puddle of tears in the sky and moving forward.
Crow couldn’t cry.
Because she still had something to carry to cry.
Because there was so much he left behind for her.
Because I had something to take responsibility for.
She couldn’t cry.
But at times like now, when the sky sheds tears.
She was also able to let go a little.
Tears mixed with the rainwater.
“…We’ve arrived.”
After walking around in the rain, the place I arrived at was none other than a funeral home.
A place to commemorate those who have passed away in tears.
A place to commemorate those who are not here with incense.
A place where names are called over and over again, even when you know there is no one to answer, and where you remember the person who had that name.
Crow folded his umbrella and entered the funeral home.
The pungent smell of incense wafted in the air, but Crow entered the funeral home without changing his expression.
In the very last place.
There was a picture of him.
A smiling face as if he is happy with his family.
Crow smiled at that face without realizing it and looked around.
Most people may not know this, but he was still the culprit behind this incident, so the funeral was held unofficially.
“You came?”
As her Crow and the rest of her family entered, Vendetta nodded her head in greeting.
“… That’s surprising. It must be a busy time right now.”
“I know. Still, I think I should come visit once. And…”
When Vendetta turned his gaze, Crow naturally followed his gaze.
At the end of the two people’s gaze, Ahab was quietly putting incense in his hand.
“He’s someone I already lost. We may not have been that close, but he still wanted to come.”
“……”
The two people, who had lost their target for revenge, quietly looked at his photo.
“…Hmm…Ugh….”
Haein, who was looking at the photo, burst into tears again.
Xiao pursed her lips and looked away.
The pharmacist was restless and held his hand tightly.
Bishop stared at the photo quietly with empty eyes.
“…Really. He’s the worst boss.”
Crow sighed softly and walked to his family.
“…!”
Then Crow ran into someone coming in.
“…Ah.”
When Snow Fox made eye contact with Crow, he lowered his eyes in embarrassment.
Behind Snow Fox, there were two magical girls wearing black clothes.
Soldier Girl, and Don Quixote.
Crow looked at them for a moment and then moved out of the way.
Then they opened their eyes wide, looked at Crow, and went inside.
The pink fire that rose from the tips of Snow Fox’s fingers ignited the incense stick.
The fire he taught us was seeing him off to the end.
Snow Fox, biting his lip slightly, stepped aside and Soldier Girl leaned back against the wall and just watched, while Don Quixote knelt down like a knight and saluted for a moment.
“…What about light?”
When Crow asked, Snow Fox rubbed his eyes and answered.
“If you mean Shine… He’ll be in soon. He said he had someone to meet for a moment.”
“…Okay.”
Crow closed his eyes for a moment and recalled that time again.
His own hands pierced his body.
The light of Shine that crumbled his body.
And even in that situation, he was smiling.
“Ah, Nightingale and that… They said the villain named Okita would come later.”
Crow nodded his head at the words of Don Quixote, who stood up.
“The Golden Supreme has already come and gone. This funeral itself was held with his money.”
After that incident, Crow, Snow Fox, and Don Quixote became close friends.
But they were still not that close, so they kept quiet and waited for Shine.
After a while.
“Oh. Are you here?”
Everyone present turned their attention to the lively voice that did not match the atmosphere.
“Ah! I guess it’s here!”
Blonde hair that shines like the sun.
And an appearance similar to Shine.
Everyone was surprised by the appearance that was so similar to Shine that they were mistaken for it, and they were wary of the woman who suddenly appeared.
But the woman walked forward and looked at the wooden coffin in front of her.
“…Hmm.”
Drur.
Then he casually removed the lid of the coffin.
“…! What are you doing…!”
Crow was embarrassed and tried to shout something, but when he made eye contact with the woman, he took a step back without realizing it.
Familiar energy.
The energy I felt from ‘it’.
However, rather than an unpleasant feeling of squishiness, it was closer to energizing energy.
“…No way?”
“What you think is probably right.”
Shine walked in.
Everyone was astonished and took turns looking at the two who looked so strikingly similar.
And only Crow stuttered and opened his mouth.
“…Are you the ‘light’?”
“Um…If you’re asking if that’s one of my names.”
‘Light’ answered with a smile.
「That’s right.」
Crow asked in astonishment.
“How..How?”
“I borrowed it. I’m really breaking out in a cold sweat. If I had accepted that guy with a body like this in perfect condition…Huh.”
‘Light’ smiled slightly and looked back at everyone.
“Rest assured. That guy has been completely destroyed. Now he will never be able to do something like this again. And…The anger body played a big role in this result.”
Light said with a bright smile.
“Thank you. Thanks to you guys, I was able to protect humans. Even though I used my power to create magical girls, I was still anxious. But I never thought I would receive your help from those guys. So…”
Light suddenly lay comfortably inside the coffin.
“This is a gift. It’s a waste to give it, but… I have to give you a body that can fully accept my power… Ugh. I can’t help it.”
Light closed his eyes.
“It can truly be said to be a miracle. Although it is only 1%, humanity has been restored in that situation.”
With those words, light burst out from inside the coffin.
It was a brilliant light, and a light that I somehow missed.
Everyone covered their eyes from the sudden burst of light.
The light showed off its presence and then gradually subsided.
“…What happened…”
Crow was confused and looked at the coffin where the light had disappeared.
“Ugh…Ugh.”
Tub.
Someone reached inside the coffin and grabbed it to get up.
It was a familiar hand.
It was a familiar voice.
“Ah…”
The first to react was Haein.
“What is this…?”
The second was the Seven Deadly Sins.
Crow, who was surprised by the things writhing and struggling to escape from Crow’s body, quickly sent the Seven Deadly Sins away.
“Where are we… Again? It’s not like we’ve come to another world, right?”
He got up from the coffin and muttered while holding his aching head.
The Seven Deadly Sins, divided into six, rushed forward, and Haein followed them.
And then everyone who realized the situation slowly began to take their steps.
“Owner!!!”
Greed rushed over and hugged Obscure.
“What?!”
Arrogance, anger, sloth, stinginess, and jealousy followed.
Lust, the queen just looked at them with a sneer.
Haein hugged him.
And only then did Obscure find out.
“…He survived.”
I turned my head carefully with Obscure.
There were his family and magical girls.
Crow was smiling somewhat suspiciously.
He was about to say the same thing he said when he came back smiling.
“…Wait a minute. This looks familiar…”
Crow said coldly.
“Catch it.”
aaahhh.
“Ugh?! Wait! The Seven Deadly Sins! I’m now at the level of an ordinary person…!”
The Obscure said something no one would listen to.
“Apothecary! Bring the medicine! Xiao! Put him to sleep! Bishop! Call the gang members to move quickly!”
“Yes!”
“Yes..Ep!”
“I will accept it.”
Obscury was shocked and tried to speak, but he couldn’t.
“…We’ll go see him later. We’ll be locked up anyway.”
“Hmm. Is this a hero’s lecher?”
“…Ha.”
Shine sighed and looked at Obscure.
It was still difficult to define, but she seemed to know one thing.
He is the boss that villains are obsessed with.
A little confusing, but ¡nice ending.
