Description: It's time to say goodbye



A day after Medusa's defeat, Shibusen makes an announcement on the network: BREW is acting up again but instead of bringing new people in, it has created a portal.

It's in the Kishin Chamber, available to anyone who wants to go through it. Anyone who looks into it will see the place they came from, frozen in time. The moment you step through everything resumes and, maybe you'll forget or maybe you won't. Either way, there's no need to hurry right now. Shibusen assures all of you they will keep a sharp eye on BREW's energy readings and tell you the moment anything changes. For now, the portal is stable so take all the time you need to say goodbye and settle everything before you go.

[Turning at her name, she sees the suitcase and picnic basket with some confusion. She doesn't think those can go through, but maybe he was doing something with them?]

Yes! I wanted to say goodbye to everyone. The doctors and nurses said they would be able to handle everything, and I know they will.

[loveanddreams]

[He smiles as he sets the suitcase down. Of course a sweet girl like her would want to see her friends off.]

You will be staying in this city to help them, I presume. I must return to the shop but I have some things to give you first... [Placing the basket on top of the suitcase, he opens it and pulls out a floral patterned teacup.] I already have a large collection of teapots at the shop so I would like you to have the tea set I used here.

[bloodinbloom]

Yup! [She didn't have anything at home besides being dead to look forward to. Though, she's going to miss D, but yes, he has his shop to return to.] You're giving me your tea set? Wow...

[loveanddreams]

Yes, it brings back memories of drinking tea together in the mornings at the park. [And he wanted to thank her for helping him get home.]

[Replacing the cup, he opens the other side of the basket to reveal a pastry box.]

There are also some sweets to go with it. I bought many of my favorites this morning.

[bloodinbloom]

... I'm gonna miss those mornings. [Though it had been a war, getting to meet everyone she did was fun.]

[As he opens the basket, her eyes widen again.]

You didn't have to...!

[loveanddreams]

But it just wouldn't be teatime without sweets. And it was the least I could do for your help in returning home.

[He nods towards the portal which now shows a flying ship against a starry sky. There's a Chinese style building on the ship and a lot of people in odd costumes.]

[bloodinbloom]

Hehe, that's true, but I did what anyone should have done. Everyone wanted to go home so I had to help.

[And everyone else that wanted to go home! She had to try helping them too. Her eyes are wide again at the flying ship. Wooow! It was so pretty!]

[loveanddreams]

Let's hope that life in this city will be quieter now that this war has ended.

[Because she deserves to have a nicer life than having to fight monsters. He notices her looking wide eyed at the portal and smiles.]

That is the pet shop and all my animals. I've missed them but it appears they haven't noticed my absence.

[bloodinbloom]

I'm sure it will be, but at the same time, it will probably be really eventful.

[She wants to have fun now that the fighting is over and get to explore and meet people all over the world.]

Hm... I think someone mentioned once that time freezes?

[loveanddreams]

Ah, did you have a plan for what you wish to do next, Miss Rosalia?

[Since she'll have a second chance at life here.]

I wonder if they would notice once I return. I'm wearing a different robe than when I first arrived. [He taps a long nail against the suitcase next to him.] And then there are the ones Mr. Tailor made for me... [He means Kanji.]

[bloodinbloom]

Hm... Well, I think I'll continue working at the clinic, and I might try some more traveling without worrying about Kishin eggs. Oh, but I'll try not to go alone.

[There's so much she can do, it almost makes her dizzy.]

Ah... maybe. I think they would notice that. [Because... different clothes. Maybe they wouldn't wonder that long about it?] Oh, Kanji, right? He's really good.

[loveanddreams]

A good idea, Miss Rosalia. Are any of the friends you've made here remaining in this world?

It's been repaired but the one I was wearing was also torn that first night. [No thanks to that hostile moose.] Yes, his work is excellent even if his manners aren't the most refined. It seemed a shame not to take them with me if possible.

[bloodinbloom]

A few are... Oh, but I should see if I can resonate with them... I think most of them are Meisters though.

[She might have to ask Shibusen.]

Sorry about that night again. [It was really scary...] Yeah. Kinda like souvenirs right? ... Oh! [She fiddles with one of her ribbons and seems to be trying to take it out.]

[loveanddreams]

I suppose you would need another partner if it ever became necessary to fight again. Let's hope it isn't needed with the truce in place.

That could hardly be considered your fault, Miss Rosalia. [More that of the machine which had brought him here in the first place and which would send him back now.] And yes, I suppose they are like souvenirs. [But he wonders why she's fiddling with her hair... Does she mean to give him one of those ribbons as a keepsake?]

[bloodinbloom]

I hope so. They seemed reasonable?

[That was the word, right? If it was, that's how the witches seemed about signing the truce. Without Medusa, the rest wouldn't push for war so readily.]

I know, but still... that was a rough arrival. [That's exactly what she's doing. Rosalia really doesn't have much else to offer to him that might make it through the portal. So, one ribbon off, she holds it out to D.] Sorry I can't give you more, but don't forget me please.

[loveanddreams]

Perhaps. Humans can be rather foolish though.

[But he did hope they weren't foolish enough to try to attack again after their leader had been killed.]

I suppose I have you to thank that I wasn't more badly injured. My kind usually heals quickly but it did not seem to be the case here. [And he accepts the ribbon with a smile and a little bow. Perhaps, he could have it added to one of his robes...] Of course. Please be well, Miss Rosalia. I will miss you.

[bloodinbloom]

Yeah... Kishin eggs can pop up at any time.

[Still, that wouldn't be the Witches doing exactly. Oh well, she can hope for a peaceful life.]

Yeah... BREW considered it an ability too, but there are some people that heal faster than others anyway. [As he bows and thanks her, she's trying not to cry because she has to see him off with a smile, right?] I'll miss you too.

[loveanddreams]

Yes, you must be careful.

[He hopes she'll now have the chance to live the life that was cut short in her own world.]

I believe it's time that I get back to the shop. Goodbye, Miss Rosalia. And thank you.

[He leaves the picnic basket by her side and bows again before picking up the suitcase and moving towards the portal. Stopping just in front of it, he turns back a moment to wave.]

[D's a bit sad to be leaving, just as when Chris had left but he hides it with a smile. Perhaps, Shuko would shed a tear in his place back at the shop; a three-headed dragon that he helped hatch, her personality resembled his the most.]
