Chapter 52: Last Celebration
Turns out they weren't directly teleported back to their respective realities as soon as they finished their job.
Although I couldn't help but look at Archer with a complicated expression, he noticed it and he asked with a surprisingly calm tone.
"Do you hate me now that I've killed your teacher?"
I blinked at his words and sigh, "No, that's ridiculous I won't hate you for it, instead I want to thank you."
Archer frowned at me and said. "Why would you thank me? I killed you, teacher!"
"And why would you want me to hate you? I know why you did it and I understand, you want to take our burdens away right? Because you know that we wouldn't be able to kill her even if I and Jaune had the ability to do so." I was honestly ashamed of myself, I resolved myself to kill her, but all of it was just a fragment of my imagination, nothing of it was real.
I couldn't even stand the sight of her corpse, and I want to kill her? Ridiculous, it's impossible.
I'm so soft and I realized it now.
I'm all talk, but no bite.
But for some reason, I feel relieved that I wouldn't have to become the monster that Emiya has become.
A cold-blooded murderer with no remorse at all, though I was talking about the future who is completely broken, unlike the Archer we have here isn't THAT broken, as he was still clinching to his ideal, even if it's a little.
He could still be saved.
But if he continued being used by Alaya, he would eventually turn into the Archer that he saw in the Fate/Unlimited Blade Works.
Jaune arrived with our sensei's corpse in his arms, he was still crying until now.
"Jaune…." I sympathize with him, I truly do but unlike him, I do not have the same bleeding heart as he does, he's just too kind for his own good.
This made me wonder how much he would change after this, although he was slowly changing, this event for sure would change him significantly.
Like what it did to him after his partner's death.
This change could either be a good thing or bad, but I'm hoping it's good because I don't want to deal with an edgy Jaune.
"Blake….do you feel me? You know I'm here expecting a fun adventure, but this…? This isn't what I have in mind!" Tears continued to fall out of his eyes.
"At a very least…I wanted sensei to have a proper burial…"
"Yeah, it's not like we're planning to leave her corpse here," I swear I saw Lucifer look around after I said it.
She really thought that we'll leave our teacher's corpse here?!
But I decided not to pursue it, because she's a devil, she wasn't supposed to feel anything, she's that different.
—
After we made a proper burial for our sensei, we went back to our restaurant, as today is going to be the last day we'll be staying at this place.
I'm going to miss this, it would be a lie if I didn't, after all, we almost stayed here for an entire year.
But before we left, we decided to celebrate our final day in this world. We invited everyone we know to celebrate with us.
This celebration was to lift up our spirits, meaning I and Jaune, it was us who were the most affected by the death of our sensei.
So, we both made a silent agreement to each other to drink until we pass out, hopefully, it would ease the pain.
A few hours after we sent the invitation, Shinobu, Kanae, and Kanao were the first to arrive at the restaurant.
Kanae's eyes wandered around the restaurant and as soon as she saw Archer's figure, she immediately approached him and started a conversation.
God, it's too late Emiya's Rank EX Harem skill was too powerful.
Kanae was totally in love with him, there was no changing her mind, not that I planned to change it anyway.
Archer should deal with her, she wasn't my problem he was hers.
Kanao also followed her adopted mother along with an irritated Shinobu, I guess she still didn't accept Archer as her sister's love interest.
That's a can of worms that I refuse to open.
Next to arrive was Makomo and the rest of the demon slayers I saved in the final selection.
Her eyes lit up after seeing me, she waved her hand in my direction and shouted. "Blake-san! We read your invitation, and we rushed as fast as possible! Are we late?!"
"No, not at all, in fact, you guys are too early!"
"Oh, that goodness for that, arriving early is better than being late after all." Makomo sighs in relief, she was really afraid of disappointing him.
Then the rest of the demon slayers that I saved in the final selection also greeted me.
After that Makomo sneaky got closer to me, not to mention there was a blush plastered on her face.
Okay…I thought she would forget about her feelings for me after months of not seeing each other but, I was wrong!
The flag of this girl was buried so deep that it's stuck there!
I should be careful, unlike before I have a girlfriend now, Echidna might see this the wrong way!
But I was too late, she saw me, she was smiling slightly in my direction.
Oh fuck.
Oh shit.
Echidna got closer and closer, and I could literally hear my heartbeat right now.
Then as soon as she arrived, she slowly took my right arm and buried it in her chest. "A kid with black hair, and deep cyan eyes. I see you must be Makomo that Blake was talking about."
Makomo's eyes widened at Echidna's bold action, she shakily said, "W-who are you? What is your relationship with Blake-san!"
"Oh, it's nothing 'special', I'm only his lover after all," Echidna said those words as calmly as she could.
"L-lover?! Blake-san, is it true?!"
I scratched the back of my head and honestly replied. "Yeah, this is Echidna, my girlfriend."
I swear I heard something shattering into pieces, Makomo was on the brink of tears, but she held it and glared at Echidna. "I won't give up! Just because you could have him right now it doesn't mean I don't have a chance in the future!"
Echidna smiled at her bold declaration, she wasn't mad at all, in fact, she welcomed it. "Is that so? We'll see about that."
After that Makomo left us alone, probably going to cry somewhere, honestly I feel a bit guilty, it was never my intention to make her fall for me.
But then again, no one could control love.
"That was an interesting conversation, isn't that right Blake?" She smiled at me, if it was on another occasion it might make me smile too, however, right now it felt creepy.
"No, it was not please stop smiling like that."
"Oh, you don't like it?"
"...." If I said yes, there's no doubt she'd get mad, and if I say no, the result would be the same.
So, the correct answer is to stay silent.
Seeing that I wasn't talking, she sighs. "Nevermind, forget about my question."
"Right, I never thought you'd be jealous of a kid…when you could have done it with Lucifer.." Honestly, it made no sense why she was jealous of Makomo who wasn't going to be a threat to her anytime soon.
I wasn't so blind not to realize Lucifer's attempt of subduction, it might have worked effectively before Echidna became mine, but right now it isn't as effective, it would be a big fat lie if I didn't feel anything.
Lucifer is beautiful, she's too beautiful in fact, it would be hard to ignore her, but my will to stay loyal persists.
"Oh, I don't need to worry about her after she has my…" Echidna paused for a bit before she changed the topic.
You're what?
"Either way, she's fine."
"Wait, wait can you continue what you were about to say before?"
"No, let's go, it's almost time for the celebration to start."
Damn it, what the hell does she mean by Lucifer has her what?
Sadly I wouldn't get an answer anytime soon.
—
Our last day of celebration of this world started, we ate, we had fun, we drank until dawn.
Honestly, I don't remember much of what happened last night, but right now I have a killer headache.
Fuck, 10 bottles of sake were too much, even with physiques like mine or I'm just that weak to alcohol?
I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by the bright sunlight, I felt like my headache amplified.
"Damn…I never thought I'd hate the sun for its sunlight…hmm? Someone is with me? Must've been Echidn-'' I paused my sentence as I saw not only Echidna in my bed.
But also Lucifer hugging my waist, after realizing I slept with not only one but two women at the same time.
I spoke in disbelief. "What the fuck happened last night?"
–
Damn, this getting drunk and waking up with a woman by this point it's going to be a troupe!
Was Blake in trouble? Who knows!
