Chapter 93: Modern Day Life Graduation Part Seven

A/N: Hey look who's back! Sorry I've disappeared for... I can't remember XD I'm really sorry school has been reeeaaalllyy busy. Won't keep you here any longer. Here's chapter 93! Please enjoy!!!

The graduation ceremony had ended, and most of the other students either went to celebrate with their friends or headed home with their families. The sun was still shining brightly in the sky as it did in the morning; the street views that Subaru and the others had got so used to remained the same as well; the excited atmosphere that surrounded them felt pretty much identical to the usual too, but something irreversible had happened. Subaru had told Hinata, Aki, and Haruka about his story in Lugnica, and now it was time to have the girls reveal their secrets too. About fifteen minutes after the group left the school, waving and saying goodbye to whoever saw them leave, they arrived back to Subaru's apartment. He unlocked the door and stuck his head through the threshold.

"Huh, you'd think my parents, specifically my dad, would be here to ambush me, but it looks like they aren't here. That's new." Subaru said and pushed the door open, stepping aside to let everyone else in. The girls thanked him as they filed in, and the other three, kicking off their shoes and darting for the living room to claim the sofa so they could be in the center when the revelation would happen, had their gazes focused on Subaru and the girls quite intently. Giggling, the girls arrived at the living room too, putting their bags on the floor and sitting down too. Finally, Subaru was there. "Ehem, thank you very much for your attention, Hinata, Aki, Haruka. The show will begin shortly, but first, please allow us to make an apology once again. It was not our intention to hide what we know from you, it was for the girls' and my protection. We maybe should've told you sooner, but given various circumstances that you all are aware of, keeping it a secret was probably the best choice. But now, those circumstances are gone, and we are ready to be completely honest with you!! So let us begin, the ultimate confession!!!" Subaru shouted, bowing.

"Yosh!! Finally!!!" Hinata cheered as Aki and Haruka whistled. Grinning, Subaru stepped to the side and looked over to Emilia. "I've done quite a bit of talking earlier. Do you wanna start off it this time, Emilia-tan?" Subaru asked with a wink, and Emilia nodded, smiling back. She stood up and came to the spot where Subaru was standing, and the three's eyes followed her, all radiating excitement. "Arigato, Subaru. Just like Subaru said, minna, we're sorry we had to hide everything from you, but now, we're ready to share everything with you. You have the right to know after all that we've gone through and the greatness you've shown, and it will be wrong of us to continue hiding." Emilia said, and the smile that warmed their hearts so many times bloomed on her face.

"My name is Emilia, not Emilia Roswaal, just Emilia. I am one of the Candidates of the Royal Selection of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica. Lugnica is very very very far away from Japan, all the way in a parallel world. We got here by an unfortunate accident, but thanks to Subaru and you, our time here is as good as it can ever be. For that, I can't thank you enough." Emilia said, bowing her head. "We should say the same, Emilia-san! It's thanks to you all too that our last bit of high school life became so wonderful and eventful! We've said it many times already, but you know, our appreciation will never be enough!!" Hinata said, grinning back at her. "Well said Natsuno. We don't deserve someone as angelic as Emilia-san. It really was a miracle that we got to be friends." Haruka said, folding her arms and nodding. "And there's actually a god-like being who can make it snow just like that... you really are from another world." Aki mused, nodding and feeling awe overflow in his heart. Hearing his cue, Puck showed up again.

"That's right, nyahahaha. Be grateful that you are blessed with the presence of my beloved daughter. The name's Puck by the way, in case any of you forgot." Puck said as he materialized from spheres of light, and the three, very cooperatively and showing a rather uncanny resemblance to Subaru, started hailing Puck and chanting "Praise the good lord Puck, praise the good lord Puck". "Betty is now one hundred percent convinced that every single teenager in this world shares a same brain cells and acts along the same brainwave, in fact." Betty said, heaving a defeated sigh and holding her forehead. "Hai, Beatrice-sama, but it also warms Rem's heart to see that Subaru-kun, Natsuno-san, Kouyou-san, and Tsuyumi-san are such good friends that they're basically in sync. Just like Rem and Nee-sama, right?" Rem said, smiling fondly all the three chanting while Puck looked extremely pleased with himself. "Ram feels the same way, Rem, but it is rather unfortunate that the brain cells they're all sharing are from Barusu." Ram said, rolling her eyes. "Not forgetting to diss me even now, huh? Sasuga Nee-sama." Subaru said sarcastically and returned her diss with another roll of his eyes.
