The Guardian (Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Crossover)

Chapter 38 Goodbye, Ore!

Ophelia opened her eyes and glanced at the window. The sun is rising and enjoy the scenery. 'I escaped my death a few times because it's not the right time.' She thought and sat up slowly. 'They're right. I must continue to live on and pursue my happiness to be with them.'

"You're awake?" She glanced up to see Hiiro. "How are you feeling?" He asked worriedly.

"Sore but I'll live, Hiiro." She answered in a soft tone and rubbed the bracelet. "I'm grounded until Zilar would take it off soon."

"Your brother knows you very well from your past life and present." Hiiro examined her condition. "Luckily, you're healing yourself slowly because of the moon."

"Yeah... I promise not to use it and you have my word for it." The former goddess assured him. "Hiiro, what were you trying to say before Sakura or Kanade is about to tease us?" She asked him curiously.

"I'm sorry for pushing you away, Ophelia." Hiiro apologized for ruining their relationship. "I messed up everything and upset you for not thinking about the consequences."

"Hiiro... you don't have to apologize for everything and I can tell you're sincere enough to mend the problems." Ophelia assured him lifting her hand to hold his. "We can take things slow."

"For you and everyone, I will." He answered in a determined tone and took something from his pocket. Hiiro vowed to improve his traits for everyone and her. "I'm returning something for you." He clasps the music note pendant around her neck.

Ophelia feels cold around her neck and finds out he returned the gift for her. "Hiiro?" Her blue eyes meet his brown eyes. She blushed at their closeness while her heart beat fast in close contact. 'He's close!' She screamed internally while masking her panic.

"You're my present and future, Barron Ophelia Selene." Hiiro whispered and leaned closer to her face. "You're my strong and weakness, my Moon." He pressed his lips on her.

Ophelia's eyes widened in shock before closing it and returning the kiss. She couldn't remember the last time they'd shared a kiss and love for each other. The former goddess wrapped Hiiro's neck to pull him close while he wrapped his hand around her back.

"Fee-chan, we're— woah!"

"Kya!"

"Oh my god!"

They pulled away from each other to hear Emu, Nico and Kanade's scream in shock. Taiga was surprised at their public display and relieved they had fixed their relationship. It hurts him to see Ophelia being with someone but he is content with her happiness.

"You could've just knocked on the door." Ophelia snapped and threw a pillow at them.

Kanade caught the pillow at ease and grinned widely like a Cheshire cat. "Be grateful that Sakura-chan and Kiriya aren't here~ otherwise they won't stop roasting you guys." She laughs at her red face in embarrassment and anger. The red-haired woman knew the engagement couple would roast Ophelia about her love life.

"You guys finally made up!?" Nico asked in shock while Ophelia nodded in confirmation. "To think that neesan is bold—"

"Can we just stop!" Ophelia begged and wanted to dig a hole for their interruption.

"Are we interrupting something?" They gave a space to reveal Haruka, William and Haruto.

"Yes, your— mphgh!?" Emu covered Kanade's mouth before she told them of their interruption.

"No, not at all, Aunt Haruka!" Emu assured her with a nervous smile. He's avoiding starting the conflict between her family and Hiiro. The genius gamer didn't know if she told them about her relationship with Hiiro.
