This is the second part of the two parts epilogue
There is the first part before this, please pay attention
「Hey, Kousuke Is this the place you want to take aze of E around without any calht her to with fast pace after the call fro inside Emily's head
「You see, this hospital is under the influence of the security bureau They make use of it for the criminal or the victim of a case, or people with circumstance」
「Security bureau's…eh, wait, then」
「Yeah, the people related with Berserk case are also hospitalized here」
Eot Berserk stored inside their stomach yet didn't have it exploded and the people ere confined for experiment but luckily could be rescued just in tiot injured at the suppression operation and so on, they were all here
Emily looked around with a sorrowful expression, but she suddenly noticed Even with all those people here, it wasn't a reason to bring her here If someone was turned into berserker then it was too late for them, and in the case that they hadn't turn into berserker then it would completely be the domain of a doctor There wasn't any turn for Emily as a researcher here
Yes, if there was a reason for her to be brought here, then it would be the sa in the patient room or corridor even now――
With a shudder, an indescribable e up inside Emily
「Wa, wait, wait Kousuke! By, by any chance, in, in here……but, I, definitely rewith her that was different I didn't say anything because I thought that it was a slim chance, but I believed that the possibility wasn't zero」
"Her"――Eht Indeed it was right It was only her who Emily didn't see directly When they parted from each other at the end, she lured away the i Berserker and vanished But Emily didn't confirm her lastpresence of death of Berserk, the heavy tre after her, all of those pushed Eht that must be the lastto confirm it by myself, but before I could, chief-san found her and then contacted me It looked like she hadn't recovered her consciousness, so just in case, in order to confirm it directly and find out the detail of her condition, I asked Vanessa to go ahead……」
There was already noEmily's heart quivered
「The call from Vanessa just now ――She said that she ake She was heavily wounded and need co to her life」
「a, a……」
Emily covered her mouth with the hand that wasn't pulled by Kousuke and then her blurry gaze caught the figure of Vanessa talking with a person who seemed to be a doctor
Vanessa who noticed Kousuke and Eaze to the two of theentle and relaxed one that they had never seen until now Just fro bad at all She grasped that her hope wasn't a lie
「She is all right, Doctor Grant She is also really lucid, and the doctor also said that there will be no proble Please o of the hand he held and gently pushed Eentle s down her face while she opened the door into the patient room, and she entered inside
pi-pi-pi- Other than the resounding sound of a medical equipht poured in fro the patient roo steps, Emily approached the bed slowly There, she saw the woed, and her hand receiving intravenous drip
Perhaps that woman noticed Emily's presence, because she slowly opened her closed eyes
And then,
「……E on the bed ounds all over her body, the words that came out the very first from her mouth ords that rejoiced of the safety of her little sister――
「Lizzie-nee-!!」
With her mind still pure white, Ereat joy and leaped to the chest of her big sister――Lizzie Ashton Lizzie who received the embrace of her beloved little sister naturally,
「Ouch ouch ouch ouch- Wait-, it hurts, it hurts I told you E for sure this tiony A person as in a total bed rest mustn't jumped at This was important Emily went flustered and all shook up while Lizzie sirl」with teary eyes that endured the pain
「It's fine if you do it slowly Look, coh she was touching a delicate artwork, Ean to leak out sobbing 'hics hics' Lizzie partly closed her eyes at her little sister that was like that while caressing Eentle hand manner
「Fufu, you really have become a crybaby while I fainted just for a bit aren't you? Just where has the usual obstinate person has gone to I wonder」
「Fho, fho cares……hics, sniff-」
En of letting go Lizzie's sly broader
「I heard about the ent Looks like you have gone through a great adventure」
「I'm, not It wasn't, adventure…… I just, needed to do, soetting, helped……」
「Yeah That Paradis-san also said, that she wanted to protect E very hard Also, there is one th, because Emily worked really hard」
Emily stirred restlessly and lifted her face from Lizzie's chest, and then her face that turned terrible because of the tears and mucus distorted
Lizzie wiped up the face of Eifted Eentle smile that Emily idolized
「You have worked hard aren't you, Emily As expected frouys, and Rick, and also teacher, they eez Even though you are a beauty but it is wasted like this……come one, blow your nose, blow」
Emily blew her nose just as she was told And then, she restlessly buried her face into Lizzie's chest once ht now, she only wanted to earnestly feel her beloved big sister
And then, Lizzie also e her love to her little sister who survived, and gritting her teeth against the loneliness toward the person she loved and their comrades who had protected the with people waiting for their departure and people waiting for the arrival of flight passengers At a waiting place where there were several rows of bench seat in place, Eetically
「Sorry, Kousuke Because of o buy souvenir or do anything else」
「No, it's fine That was a special reunion for you I'm not that boorish that I would be a nuisance with that」
In the end, after that Emily who had transformed into a sticky burr on Lizzie was finally pried off after the nurse noticed that Lizzie was al with the white of her eyes half exposed (TN: A burr is prickly seeds or seedheads that stuck to fur and clothes)
However even with that, it seemed that Emily hated to exit the rooed outside, Emily spontaneously yelled「ONEE-CHAAAN!」and reached out her hand Lizzie whose eyes snapped open in a flash hearing her little sister's shout then reached out her hand「EMILY――」, which got the intravenous drip torn off from her hand which turned it into even more commotion The two of them were really sisters that were similar with each other
The nurse as treated like asisters fro vein on her forehead Even then the nurse kept treating the situation It ithout saying that Kousuke and Vanessa then earnestly apologized to the nurse
Because of this and that, in the end they arrived at the airport with barely any tietic
「Well, at any rate, it's great that Lizzie-san is alive」
「Yes-」
It was a blunt topic change, but Es wouldn't come back, and the wound from that wouldn't vanish for the whole life But, even so, there was a salvation even if just one It was really as though the world rewarded a little, to someone that had done their best
And, at that time Vanessa who left them for a bit because she received a call returned to the to see you off」
「Yoo, Aby I caone to the entrance to welcome Bernard who ca expressly here like this, is your work okay?」
「No, it's not okay That's why I need to go back right away, but it will be no good if we don't give even a single parting salute when you return home to your country like this Besides you see, here is souvenir fro you like this But, if that's the case then I'll accept gratefully――」
Saying that, Kousuke got a bit shy while he peeked inside the bag before his cheeks convulsed Inside there were various coe letters There were also hand grenades that ritten with obscene jokes, Zippo lighter, and high-class cigar cra this back!」
Kousuke turned into a straight-man reflexively, but Bernard replied with a puzzled expression
「Eh, but, you You are norht? Reuess Sorry Also thanks」
He had no word to retort to that Like that Kousuke put the souvenir into his rucksack He planned to throw them into the Treasure Warehouse later
Bernard who finished handing over the souvenir then nodded in satisfaction before he swiftly turned around It seemed that it was true that was busy
「See ya, Aby When next you come here, show your face no matter what I'll introduce you to a delicious restaurant」
「Aa, thanks Bernard too, don't be too reckless」
Kousuke s his thanks to Bernard who he could only think as sooddess of luck si? I have a wife and a cute daughter waiting at hoo back home for sure」
「That's why-, don't say that kind of line so easily like that!」
「Just you wait Annie (the six years old daughter) Father will get home soon……」
「Wai-, Bernard! You, seriously be careful! There is absolutely a death god right behind you there!」
Bernard so easily built a dangerous flag as naturally as breathing like always And then his figure vanished into the crowd
「What should I say, in a sense, it feels like he is the one nearest to Kousuke-san I cannot help but feeling aree with that」
Vanessa for so into the croith a gaze that see
「Kousuke, it will be tio soon」
Saying that, Kousuke stood up and shouldered his rucksack And then, he was about to walk toward the boarding gate But then his sleeve got pulled
「H on the floor, E any sign of releasing it Kousuke reflexively looked at Vanessa looking for help, but Vanessa only shrugged and didn't say anything
「Eeer, E behind ht? We will be able tosoerated gesture a bit jokingly, but Ee No, her ears that could be seen fro They were getting redder gradually Looking closer, her neck and cheeks were also dyed red
Kousuke then grasped the situation「Co of it! No good!」and he opened hisBut, before he could,
「Yo, you see- You see-, Kousuke!I, I actually-, that, about Kousuke I――」
The face of Eht red apple Her eyes were lance it was obvious that she was about to liberate into words the fla up thunderously inside her chest currently
The voice of Emily that unexpectedly reverberated loudly stopped the activity of the surrounding people and the walking people froathered at the two of theuessed the atmosphere between the two「Oh my? Could this possibly be……」and their eyes sparkled with deep interest
And then, Emily-chan as already at her wits' end was about to carry out her first confession in her life, and her 「lo」, it was at that instant
「Ah, there you are! Kou-ku~~~n-♡」
A dignified and clear voice rang in the lobby That voice was so refreshing and also vaguely contained a sweet sensuality that everyone spontaneously searched for the owner of the voice
Naturally, Kousuke as faht「Don't tell aze from Emily and turned his face toward the direction of the voice
It was in the middle of her once in a lifetiaze toward other That caused Emily's expression to turn 'funya' into a pitiable look But, it was no good for her to be like that Eht away before it becaht there the person ould beco near
「Kou-kun!」
「Rana!?」
Eaze when Kousuke called a na toward the up and doith each step of the run Beautiful dark blue hair Tight waist and beautiful legs that looked unreal A beautiful well-proportioned body of body 8 tier than head which was realized in real life And a looks that harmonized both cuteness and beauty perfectly
That beautiful onee-san was rushing toward the forward pyon pyon She decided that the croas a hindrance and she shifted her route a bit
And then, while the people were paying attention to her in various s, she leaped and used the nearby pillar as foothold to easily fly over the croith beautiful rotationvoice「Ooh」seeing that acrobatic perfornored the time no see I wanted to meet you」
「Eh, ah, yeah I also wanted to meet you but, no, before that, why are you here!?」
Kousuke asked with his eyes darting about in surprise Rana chuckled seeing that while answering
「You see, boss opened the gate for me He said that it was for experiment And then, boss said that it seems Kou-kun is in trouble, so he askedrateful with boss's consideration But, it's strange you know For soood if you wait until he coht now! It's better if you ambush him at the airport Perhaps there will be someone near him, but don't worry of it and just jump at him!』boss said」
『Tha, tha, that bastaaard- He knew and still did this!』
Kousuke guessed The reason why the de sent Rana here It was completely a harassment Or perhaps he did this from a sentiment of「Co inside his heart while trying to separate hi because of the attention he was showered with――
「Kousuke, that woe It was a voice without any emotion in it, a mechanical voice that sounded like aze with a crude irl as about to confess to him
「Hih」
And then, he shrieked for the second tile color She was sely opened eyes was opening It was a face that irl
「Kousuke? Who That wo lady」
The one who reacted first to the repeated question was Rana It seemed that Rana noticed Emily's existence for the first time when she separated frouessed from how Emily called Kousuke name that she must be his acquaintance and so she introduced herself
