Ending: A True Treat Amidst Fluttering Cherry Petals


Translated by Arctic Passerine

Scene: The summit of Gastros Mountain.

Yuuki and company were just barely able to escape the rift of light in time.

Kyaru
Pant, pant... Seriously, that was unheard of. I never thought that the rift would collapse all at once after we won.

Grea
It was close... If we had been just a little slower, we might have ended up trapped within the rift.

Kokkoro
Is this... the summit of the mountain?

Ruu
It's so pretty! The flower petals are fluttering everywhere!

Pecorine
These petals... There's no mistaking it! We did it! We've arrived, Kyaru, Kokkoro!

Pecorine
I've wanted to see these cherry blossoms with everyone for so long! It's just like when I saw them as a child... Oh, it's simply terrible!

Kyaru
You said you wanted to see them... That means you really have come to this mountain before!

Pecorine
Ahaha, sorry. I just wanted to surprise everyone.

Pecorine
Taking in this beautiful scenery while gathering rare ingredients... That's what I thought the real treat would be -- the whole reason why I had us all come here.

Kokkoro
So that was it... Indeed, I find myself gazing upon these magnificent cherry blossoms without even thinking about it. Thank you, Lady Pecorine.

Pecorine
Oh, no, no. It's a little embarrassing to be thanked, Kokkoro.

Pecorine
In any case, everyone! How about we share a meal here!?

Kyaru
... Anne and her friends just said they were going back home. Come on, have a little awareness...

Anne
I'm in favor! Having a picnic in such a wonderful place would be an amazing memory to cap things off!

Kyaru
... Well, if you're fine with it, then I am, too. But, when you talk about sharing a meal, that can only mean the food is... Ugh, I've only got a bad feeling about this...

Pecorine
Heh heh heh. It's exactly as you say, Kyaru! We'll be using the rare ingredients we came to this mountain to gather! Wait just a moment!

Kyaru
No, come on, it's not like you can gather these rare ingredients that easily, right!? She's already gone... Come back here! Seriously, she always goes at her own pace.

Kokkoro
Lady Kyaru, it's surely the case that Lady Pecorine wants to prepare some delicious cooking for Anne and her friends.

Later.

Pecorine
Thanks for waiting! I've gathered up some fine ingredients!

Kyaru
That was fast! How did you gather those things in such a short...

Kyaru
Whoa... This has to be the worst-looking "food" I've ever seen... I know this always happens, but I can't even imagine what this is going to taste like...

Anne
Ha ha, it'll be all right, Kyaru. These were the ingredients that Pecorine chose herself, after all. I'm sure that she knows how to cook them into delicious cuisine!

Pecorine
Yes, just leave it to me!

Pecorine
There, it's all done! Ta-daaa! A rare rice bowl made of rare ingredients!

Grea
Somehow, such appetizing food was created from such unspeakable-looking ingredients...

Anne
Our last meal in this world... Thanks for the food! Mm... nom, nom...

Anne
D-Delicious! This is like gourmet cuisine!

Pecorine
Ahh! I'd expect nothing less from these legendary ingredients! Such incredible umami flavor, spreading throughout my mouth! And the texture is meltingly soft! This is simply the best!

Pecorine
Originally, we'd planned just to have everyone from Gourmet Palace, but I'm so happy that you all could share in these moving flavors!

Pecorine
The greatest scenery! The greatest food! And of course, the greatest friends! Mmm! It's simply terrible!

Ruu
I'll never forget this flavor my entire life!

Anne
... This is the final memory we'll have of this world, huh.

Anne
In the beginning, I didn't have any idea what we were going to do, but all this time has passed in the blink of an eye.

Grea
That's right. I'm so glad that we met everyone from Gourmet Palace...

Ruu
I had tons of fun! And it's all because of you all! Thank you!

Kyaru
I-It's nothing you need to thank us for!

Kyaru
We just happened to be passing by when you all were in trouble! That's really it! ... That's all there was to it.

Kokkoro
Despite how Kyaru is talking, we're all quite sad to see you go.

Kyaru
I mean... I was just saying facts!

Anne
Ha ha. Thank you, Kyaru.

Anne
This beautiful scenery, this delicious food, and you wonderful friends who fought alongside us. If we hadn't come here, we would never have gained any of these.

Grea
Right. And in the end, I'm a little reluctant to leave...

Yuuki
1. "I wish you could stay forever."
2. "Let's stay just a little longer."

Option 1.

Ruu
But then... I'd miss everyone from home...

Option 2.

Grea
I'm happy to hear you say that. But we can't be sure how our presence here is affecting our world right now...

End of branches.

Anne
Pecorine, Kokkoro, Kyaru... And Yuuki. It's time for us to go home.

Anne
But I don't think this will be goodbye for good!

Pecorine
Yes, we also believe that one day, we'll be able to meet again!

Anne
Then, I'll combine the magical stone fragments with the core. Once it's reassmbled, if I charge it with magical energy the same way I did before, then definitely...

Grea
This is the same light as that time...! Good, it looks like we've connected to Mysterchia without a problem!

Ruu
Then... This is really goodbye, now...

Kokkoro
Everyone, one day, let us all meet again.

Kyaru
The next time we meet, you'll have to let Pecorine sample some of Mysterchia's monster cuisine. I'll pass, though.

Ruu
Yeah! It's a promise!

Grea
Well, then... Truly, thank you, everyone!

Pecorine
Anne, Grea, Ruu! Go on, happily!

Anne
Yeah! Thank you, everyone! We'll see you again!!

As Yuuki and the rest of Gourmet Palace waved goodbye, Anne and her friends were enveloped in the light, returning them to Mysterchia.
