OWMB 154 – Epilogue 1. Meetings and Farewells

Isekai Monster Breeder

Epilogue 1: Meetings and Farewells

I’ll tell you what happened next.
The evil that brought chaos to the world, Hyunckel, was defeated and peace was restored for the time being.

Now I started my second life as a spy fish and am enjoying a life full of seafood.

….
……..

Sorry. That was a lie.
After returning to the heavenly kingdom and regaining her original power, Aphrodite boasted of a power rare in sacred magic.

My body, which had been crushed by Hyunckel’s palm, had been repaired and I was able to return to it safely.

“How nostalgic this meadow is.”

A fresh breeze blew through, carrying the scent of the plants and trees.
I remember that the day I arrived in this other world, I was hunting goblins here.

I still remember Aphrodite being at the mercy of the goblins as her Breath of God failed her as if it were yesterday.

It’s a good memory now, but at that time I was also very worried about the future.

“…You’re really going to leave, aren’t you?”

The figure of Aphrodite next to me looked a little melancholy, and she seemed a little more mature than usual.

“That’s right. If it is also your wish to leave, it is now or never. The portal of the ‘Meadow of the Beginnings’ will only last until the evening of today.”

The original purpose of us earthlings being sent to this other world was to defeat the Demon Lord, who was expected to rise soon.

Later I discovered that our purpose was precisely “to defeat Hyunckel, who took possession of the body of the Demon Lord”.

Anyway, now we are free because we have served our purpose.

We can use the portal that appeared in the meadows to return to our original world, or we can continue to live in this other world.

“I will stay. I have some unfinished business in Adelhide.”

It would be tempting to go back to my old world and live with the girls I could bring home on the ball, but unfortunately, I am in a situation where I could not say such a thing.

I decided to stay in this other world.

Aphrodite decided to return to the heavenly kingdom.

I am sure we will continue to go our separate ways.

“Well, then, I’ll leave you alone, but I’ll be angry if you make Caro and the others cry!”

Aphrodite tapped me on the shoulder and headed for the circle of light that appeared in the meadow.

“Yes, I will make sure I don’t.”

I wasn’t going to do it anyway, no matter if she hadn’t told me.
These are the irreplaceable treasures I have gained in this world.

From now on, I will protect and love Carolina, Ciel, Yuuko, Rust, Lemis-san and Rumil-san for a long, long time.

“Hey. Souta. There’s something I forgot to mention at the end…”

Aphrodite turned around and gave me a smile… a big smile.

“I like you.”

Only she can say things so directly.

Hey! Hahhhh?

What the hell is this!? How is this happening now!?

Seriously….
I thought these events were supposed to happen with more careful foresight…

When the hell did I raise that flag?

“I see. I guess you’ve already left.”

There were so many places I wanted to visit, but Aphrodite was that important person, she was nowhere to be found.
Only the slight warmth left on my cheeks proved her existence, that she should have been by my side…

(Frizcop: Although this is Epilogue 1, there was no Epilogue 2 on the page, and this chapter had been written some time ago. One could say that only that was unfinished, and it was abandoned. But if we talk about the end, it is the end. So, I’m going to do my own end to this novel. Wait for a fantastic (?) fanfic called Epilogue 2. Thank you very much for having read this novel so far and for having put up with a more than amateurish translation from Japanese to English:)
