"The Future"

Takemichi shook Naoto's hand and found himself in the future.

He realized he was in the bathroom and was washing his face, Hanagaki looked in the mirror.

"He's back!" - Takemichi thought. "Naoto... is alive! And where am I...? And why am I wearing a suit?" - he thought, and bells rang. "The suit and the ringing of the bells... Э? It turns out... Really!" - Takemichi ran out of the bathroom.

- You're late! It's already started! - Hina's voice was heard.

- The banquet has already begun!

- Hina...

"I finally... At last!"

Hinata didn't wait, took Takemichi under her elbow and led him into the hall.

- It wasn't nice to keep the groom waiting.

- He? The groom?

- What's wrong with you? Today is Hayashida's wedding!

"He? Hayashida?"

- Come on, hurry up! Hurry up! - Hinata said and dragged Takemichi behind her.

"Slow down! I don't understand anything!"

- You're late, Takemuchi," Ken's voice said.

- It's not nice to be late and keep everyone waiting," said Emma, with an already prominent tummy, standing next to Ken.

- "Sit down already! - said Chifuy.

- Let's welcome the bride and groom! - A voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Hayashida! Is that Pa-chin?"

Everyone started talking happily and Takemichi called out from behind.

- Hello, Takemuchi.

Takemichi turned around and behind him stood Mikey and Izana, both in suits. Izana hadn't changed at all, Mikey had just cut his hair a little shorter.

- Mikey... Izana... Hi... - Tears in his eyes, Takemichi said.

- It's amazing... That Takemichi and this Takemichi I'm the same age, I've always waited for this day. Welcome back, Takemichi," Hinata said, holding Takemichi's hand.

- This isn't all a dream? - Hanagaki asked as his eyes filled with tears.

- Should I pinch you? - Hina asked cheerfully.

- You weren't the only one waiting.

- It's funny, for us it's been twelve whole years, but for you it was only a moment! - Chifuyu said.

- That's for sure. You're a big crybaby now, Takemuchi," Mikey said, smiling.

- Mikey, stop it, he's embarrassed enough as it is, and you're adding fuel to the fire. All the more reason for me not to be nervous," Emma said as she stroked her belly.

- What a story. We're alive because of you," Doracen said.

- Chifuyu, Doraken, Mikey, Emma... - uttered Takemichi, looking around at the four with his weeping eyes, the others were either at other tables or waiting for their cake to be cut.

- Thank you, Takemuchi! - said the four at the same time.

- You're amazing, Takemichi... How many people have been saved," Hinata said.

- I couldn't have done it alone! You all helped...

- Hey, hey, hey! Why are you all so cheerful!? I'm the main star here! - shouted Pa-chin.
