Epilogue: Dream Island, Come Back!?
Scene: A beach on the Marjan Coast.
Mifuyu
Mmm... Uh... Is this... the Marjan Coast?
Mifuyu
We've made it back!
Mifuyu
Everyone, wake up! We're back to where we came from!
Tamaki
Unya... You're right... It's been a long time since I've seen this coast. It's good to be back!
Yukari
I'm glad that we made it back all right...!
Akino
Well, well, now that we've closed the book on that, and since we came away with some treasure to boot, let's have ourselves a little celebratory party! The dress code will be swimsuits!
Yukari
How nice! Of course, we'll need an open bar, too!
Tamaki
Yukari, that's all you're ever thinking about!
Akino
You too, Yuuki -- you simply must attend our party!
Thus, Yuuki and the Mercurius Foundation, having just returned to the real world, had a celebration on the Marjan Coast.
Mifuyu
Now then, here's to resolving the incident and getting some treasure -- cheers!
All Four
Cheers!
Yukari
Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug... Ahhh, this mug is full of pure happiness!
Mifuyu
Happiness, huh... I did talk the talk towards the Shimakujira, but the truth is, I kind of miss life on that island.
Mifuyu
My own private training grounds, a special spa, and massages... Sleeping whenever I wanted, waking up whenever I wanted...
Tamaki
I always had a crowd of cats around me to do anything I wanted. They'd make me happy for nothing more than a word of thanks in exchange...
Tamaki
A fluffy bed, and tasty good...
Mifuyu
It feels like we spent the summer at a resort... This really was... a nice summer!
Yukari
Hey, you mean, while we were all worried about you, you were having shuch a fun time? Shoooo unfair...
Tamaki
B-But no matter what we say, it was all just an illusion! We would've died if we'd stayed there like that!
Tamaki
The rest of the Mercurius Foundation was the greatest, coming to save us without any regard for danger!
Yukari
Well, yeah! I mean, we were deshperate. Without you two, we couldn't keep up with all the work, and not to mention, we had to pay the lease on Tamaki's shop, sho we were real uneasy...
Akino
Indeed, with just the two of us, we were so swamped with work that we could barely sleep!
Mifuyu
Huh...? So when you said you couldn't sleep well without us, that's what you meant...?
Yukari
Oh, also, here's an invoice for the expenses we incurred in order to rescue you two! Here you go! Read it closely!
Mifuyu
What!? One, ten, hundred, thousand... 30 million rupees!?
Tamaki
D-Doesn't the treasure cover it!?
Akino
No, no, even if we were to sell all of the Catcoins we got from the Shimakujira, it wouldn't nearly be enough. The fuel cost for the airship and the rental fee for the boat is no small amount.
Mifuyu
Wait, you... You've gotta be joking!?
Yukari
Nope, it's real! We'll be expecting a whoooooole lotta work from you to cover this bill!
Tamaki
M-Monsters! Insensitive jerks! This is awful!
Tamaki
I-If I'd known it would come to this, I would've just stayed on that island!
Mifuyu
I hate the one percent!
Yukari
There's no escape! We're gonna work you to the bone!
Tamaki
I've gotta bring the Shimakujira back so I can go with it again! Come baaaaack! Dream islaaand!
With that, Tamaki and Mifuyu, who had just been brought back thanks to their companions, went running down the beach, wishing they could run from reality once again.
