Epilogue

*PRESENT*

Hanagaki had returned to his time, and the moment he woke up, he was once again at some sort of wedding. It took a long moment to realize it was his own wedding. The boy looked around, looking at people having fun, and then he noticed his friends standing next to him, so he immediately ran there and hugged the first friend he ran into, it was Chifuyu.

"What's so suddenly?" The amused boy was surprised.

"I came back." Takemitchi said, and his friend already knew what it was about.

"Welcome back." Hina came to her beloved and kissed him on the cheek.

The time-traveling boy had tears in his eyes again as he saw everyone gathered around his loved ones. Whole, healthy and happy.

"And Mikey-kun?" He asked noting that he wasn't here. "And Ami-chan?"

The friends looked at each other, and that made Takemitchi nervous again.

"You're already an adult and still crying like a little baby." Suddenly he heard a familiar voice behind him, and when he turned towards him, he saw Mikey smiling. "Welcome back, Takemitchy." He said.

"M-m-mikey-kun!!" Hanagaki exclaimed, then threw himself at his friend and hugged him tightly. "It's really you!!"

"Hai, hai..." Sano patted him on the back. "It's me." He laughed.

The boy was dressed in a white suit with a black shirt underneath it. He also still had long, blonde hair. His facial features tightened a bit, making him look even more mature.

"I'm so happy! And Ami-chan?" He asked.

"Hanagaki, hands off." He heard from the other side. "He's mine." Kojima smiled and walked over to them.

"Ami-chan!" Boy hugged his amused friend.

"I'm glad to see you too." She returned the gesture.

"It means that..." Man said still in shock.

"Mm." Girl nodded.

"You saved us, Takemitchy." Sano added. "Thank you." He smiled warmly.

Finally, everything turned out as it should.

Despite the whole journey, unfortunately, it wasn't without losses, but it was certain that their loved ones were definitely watching them, watching them and certainly enjoying that everyone was leading a happy life.

After their conversation, the bride and groom took a dance, Takemitchi and Hina, and soon after the bride was to throw her bouquet.

"I wonder who will be the lucky girl." Ami said standing next to Manjiro.

"It could be you." Blond replied. "Catch the bouquet and I'll propose to you. " He said which immediately caught her attention.

"Seriously?!" She was surprised.

"Mm." He nodded. "Go, because you won't make it." He laughed.

Kojima ran to the gathering girls, her reaction making the leader smile.

"Really?" Hanagaki walked over to his friend.

"Mm." Sano replied and took a small box out of his pocket, then opened it and looked at the engagement ring. It was the same ring the time traveler had seen in each future. Boy involuntarily smiled at the sight of it. "I carry it with me for a long time and I can't find the right moment to give it to her." He said and his companion laughed softly.

Sano put the gift in his pocket and took Takemitchi's tie.

"Eh?" The groom was surprised.

"When she catches the bouquet, I gonna need a tie." Mikey replied.

"Mikey-kun, you love her very much." Boy said proudly.

"Hm? Of course." Sano replied with a smile. "Even for her sake, I didn't cut my hair. " He took the strand in his hand. "Otherwise she would've killed me." He shook his head, and Hanagaki laughed. Moments later there were squeals of girls.

Annie ran out of the wheel and ran to her beloved with a bouquet in her hand. Manjiro laughed at her expression, and a moment later he grabbed her and twisted around with her.

"Got it!" She said pleased.

"Yeah, I see." He said, still amused, and a moment later he took out the ring, then knelt in front of Kojima and looked into her eyes. "So... Will you marry me?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes!" She replied immediately, then waited for Sano to put the ring on her finger, and then Ami took her beloved's face in her hands, while he touched her waist and joined their lips together in a warm kiss.
