After a long day of fun and enjoyment, everything eventually had to come to an end. With dinner finished, chairs scraped softly against the floor as everyone stood, the warm atmosphere lingering as farewells were exchanged.

Bell: Bye everyone!

He waved enthusiastically, Bell's smile was bright despite the tiredness finally creeping into his limbs.

Aiz: *Pout* Bye bye.

Aiz didn't share his enthusiasm. Her cheeks puffed slightly as if she could physically will the moment to last longer.

Riveria: *Smile* Aiz, don't be sad.

Her voice was gentle, though the faint curve of her lips showed she found Aiz's reaction more adorable than worrying.

Meteria: *Chuckle* Fufufufu, so cute.

Alise: Bye Bell!

She waved energetically, nearly bouncing on her heels as if waving alone wasn't enough.

Astrea: We'll be off as well.

Alfia: Wait a moment if you will. A goddess and three children going home alone at night could be dangerous. Allow me and Silvia to escort you home, think of it as a thank you for spending time with Bell and Meteria.

Her tone was calm and courteous yet carried a firmness that made refusal feel almost impossible.

Alise, Kaguya, and Ryu visibly perked up.

Astrea: Oh, there's no need. Besides, we had fun as well, right girls?

She smiled at them warmly, though her eyes flicked back to Alfia with mild curiosity.

Alise: *Smile* The best! Spending time with Bell is always number one!

She threw a peace sign at Alfia with her signature smile. 

Alfia: *Clearly. If Aiz wasn't here you would've stuck to Bell all night long*

Kaguya: I liked it too.

A small nod, composed but sincere.

Ryu: Mhm...

Quiet, but heartfelt.

Astrea: Besides, what of miss Meteria and Bell?

Silvia: My sister and Violet will take them home.

The two maids stepped forward at once, bowing in perfect unison Efficient, practiced, unquestionable.

Alfia: Please, we insist.

No pressure. No force. Just certainty.

Astrea hesitated for a brief moment... Then nodded.

Riveria and Aiz departed first, their figures gradually fading into the lamplit street. Aiz turned back once more, waving earnestly, her fairy outfit fluttering softly. Bell waved back enthusiastically, and only when she finally disappeared from view did the moment truly end.
