Ending: A Feast of Otherworldly Cuisine
After that, having successfully defeated Petelgeuse and filled out a report, they were able to clear Natsuki Subaru's name. That night...
Ram
Congratulations on your release, Barusu. Enjoying the fresh air of the free world?
Subaru
Is that how you greet someone who was unjustly arrested!?
Emilia
Ahaha... But it's good that we were able to clear your name. I'm sure that it was thanks to Miss Saren's advocacy.
Saren
Sigh, honestly. Before we get to that, I have something I'd like to say to you your reckless actions -- even going as far as breaking your promise to me.
Emilia
Ooh, um...
Saren
It looks like all of you made it back all right. So in that light, I suppose I can't qualify your actions as rash. That being the case, I'll reluctantly refrain from being angry at you.
Suzume
Lady Saren has been worried for all of you this entire time. Because of that, she was really happy to hear that you all came back unharmed.
Saren
Suzume, don't tell them that!
Suzume
H-Huh? I'm sorry, Lady Saren!
Kyaru
Dispelling the tension just like that -- what a carefree bunch.
Rem
Hee hee. They certainly are. But I think that it's much better for everyone to be relaxed than to have such dour faces.
Kyaru
... Well, I agree with that. Sigh, goodness. I guess I've been infected, too.
Kokkoro
Lady Kyaru, you were a kind person to begin with. Rather than saying you were infected, I'd say that you simply became aware...
Kyaru
Koro! Don't you join in, too! We were having a nice moment just now -- just let it slide!
Pecorine
But, but, our hard work ended up paying off! Because of our cooperation with Nightmare, they paid us a bounty beyond anything I'd imagined!
Pecorine
Thanks to that, we were able to make this the biggest celebration party ever!
Pecorine
I thought I was gonna starve to death, but now I just can't bear how much food is here! I might just die of happiness instead.
Emilia
Given how hard you've worked, it simply wouldn't do for you to die for such a reason here.
Pecorine
Oooh... Ah, then, Emilia, you should feed me! That way, you'll be able to regulate the amount of food I eat!
Emilia
Is that so? Then, say 'ahh'.
Pecorine
Ahhhh... Mmm! It's delicious! Being fed might make it even tastier. I simply can't bear it. Emilia, can I fall in love with you?
Subaru
Wait, wait, wait! Two girls being like that is a little, you know! It's pretty and all, but, you know! I mean, you know!
Emilia
Sorry, I don't really know what you're talking about...
Kokkoro
By the way, I'm sorry to ask this during our celebration, but Lady Emilia, have you found a way to return home? The great spirit has been investigating that book we recovered...
Puck
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
Kyaru
It sure seems like it.
Puck
You spoke of me, after all. And I've brought some good news, too. After investigating this book, I found a way to get in touch with Betty through it.
Kokkoro
Who is this... Lady Betty, is it?
Emilia
She's a girl who serves as the librarian in a mysterious library near where we were. The reason we were sent here also had something to do with her magic...
Puck
Betty was sure surprised. For some reason, this book triggered a strange reaction with her portals, but she was able to get in touch with us right afterwards, she said.
Rem
Right afterwards? But we've already been here for several days, and we've only heard from her just now...
Puck
Somehow, it seems like the flow of time is different here. A day here seems only to be a minute over there, she said.
Subaru
Does that mean we don't need to hurry back? Because even if we take our time here, it'll only be a few minutes later there?
Puck
It sure does. Though of course, we'll still have to say goodbye eventually.
Ram
That is certainly good news. Personally, I'm worn out after overworking today.
Kyaru
How can you say that when you've just been slacking off this entire time...
Emilia
Um, so, what does that mean for us?
Subaru
We can go home anytime! So we can at least spend today properly celebrating our victory with all the friends we've made here!
Emilia
Ah, really? That sounds so very nice!
Subaru
Totally!
Puck
(Well, I still wonder why that "Gospel" was in the mansion in the first place. We still don't know why that sent us here, but I get the feeling that Roswaal was somehow planning something around this...)
Puck
(But I would only be raining on everyone's parade if I brought that up. For now, we should just celebrate our victory here with everyone.)
Emilia
Puck, what's the matter?
Puck
Oh, it's nothing, Lia. I was just thinking, now is about when I usually go to sleep, but I'd like to have some more fun with everyone here.
Emilia
Mm, I'd be happy if you would, too.
Subaru
All right, then, raise your glasses, everyone?
Subaru
And one more time!
Puck
Cheers!
Everyone
Cheers!!
Subaru
Hey, I was gonna say it!!
Later.
Kokkoro
Whew... Good work, Master.
Kokkoro
Everyone is enjoying themselves. Today was quite exhausting, so you needn't push yourself now.
Kokkoro
What about me? Of course, I'm enjoying myself as well. I'm happy to spend time leisurely by your side like this.
Subaru
Oh, so this is where you were.
Subaru
Yo, you two. Sorry to bother you.
Kokkoro
Sir Subaru, wouldn't you rather be with everyone?
Subaru
Well, I'd like to, right? I'd like to, which is why I came here.
Subaru
The truth is, today... Or rather, this entire time, you've helped me out a lot. This really is all thanks to you, Yuuki.
Subaru
If you hadn't been there, then we might not be here to celebrate at this party like we are now. So I really owe you a lot.
Subaru
... I just want to ask -- why did you believe me, that night?
Yuuki
1. "No real reason?"
2. "I could tell you were serious."
Option 1.
Subaru
No real reason... Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Seriously, that's crazy!
Kokkoro
Master is just that kind of person...
Option 2.
Subaru
You could tell, huh. That really is something special about you, Yuuki. It was because you believed me that this all worked out.
Kokkoro
I'm sure that your appeal must have been sincere, Sir Subaru. Master is the type of person who can understand things like that.
End of branches.
Subaru
Ha ha, whatever the reason was, thank you. There were so many times when I really thought I was going to die here.
Subaru
... I wonder if it's safe here. As always, I really don't know how close I am to slipping up.
Kokkoro
...?
Emilia
Ah! Subaru, there you are! And the two of you were here too?
Subaru
Oh, Emilia! I was just thanking Yuuki here, one man to another.
Emilia
Thanking? In that case, we should offer our thanks, too.
Ram
That's right. All manner of things have happened over these past few days, but the reason we were able to resolve our problems successfully was because of you.
Rem
The members of Gourmet Palace have helped us immensely. I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to you and Kokkoro both.
Emilia
Yes, truly. So I'd like to thank you so... so very much!
Yuuki
1. "You're all welcome."
Emilia
Ha ha, this feels a little strange.
Puck
It feels like we're saying our goodbyes now. But the party is still going strong.
Kyaru
Hey, isn't this party on your behalf? You're the guests of honor, so come over here!
Pecorine
I haven't sampled enough of the cuisine from your world, Emilia! Please, feed me some more!
Ram
It seems like we're being called.
Rem
Yes, so it seems. I'll go on serving as the wait staff to express my thanks.
Kokkoro
Then, I'll help as well. I cannot simply allow you two to do all of the work.
Ram
You have a good heart. Then, please cover my portion of the work as well.
Emilia
Come, now, Ram. You're always saying such things... Don't burden Kokkoro so much. We're sorry, okay?
Kokkoro
L-Lady Emilia... I've said not to pat my head...
Subaru
Oh? What's up?
Yuuki
1. "It feels nice here."
Subaru
Yeah, you're right. It feels really nice here.
Subaru
Then, let's go back for more. We might be leaving tomorrow, but tonight, we celebrate.
Subaru
Let me lead the next round of cheers, all right?
The Kingdom of Lugnica where Subaru and his friends lived... The city of Landsol where Yuuki and his friends lived... Their paths had never crossed before, but they were brought together by a chance encounter starting from zero.
Their miraculous meeting and the party that ensued, filled with everyone's smiled, lasted on into the late night.
