バランスの問題 (Baransu no Mondai) Last Part
The funeral was held in the EW's Sakura New Town's graveyard, where EW Aruke was buried with tons of flowers. The EW Agency were still crying as they watched the person who they had assumed was horrible as the rest, but ended up being their guardian, especially EW Akino, being carried in a coffin to the ground.
Aruke, upon hearing of the news, had immediately rushed to the EW, where he now stood beside Akino with black clothes on. Keisuke was watching the funeral-goers put the coffin in the ground.
After that, EW Ryaku took the stage, still being supported by EW Bao En and Kai.
"W-When I first met him, m-my classmates were beating me up because of a simple problem. H-He rescued me and taught me how to be brave. I-I owe him a lot for who I am today...." EW Ryaku was trying so hard to not burst into tears on the spot. "W-We knew killing wasn't the best way to deal with those people who came and tried to kill EW Enma for what he did to them... B-But we chose to... Because we didn't want him to have that burden alone... H-He's truly one of the best Fate Changers in the multiverse..." After that, he burst into tears.
"I have the same thing to say about Aruke-san. He adopted me after my parents were killed by EW Enma. He taught me to not hold grudges and to always fight for what was right. If the Agency had given him a chance and actually LISTENED, then I'm sure that he would have taught them that before his... untimely demise," EW Bao En admitted, a few tears pricking her eyes as well.
"Aruke-san didn't care that I was younger than most of my classmates. He nearly got killed when he saved me from a case that killed Ceels and Lucy..." EW Kai admitted. EW Lizzy looked down, her own tears falling to the ground. "But I don't hold grudges against Lizzy. Not anymore. Aruke-san taught me that holding grudges hurts everyone. I realised that after seeing the Agency, whose grudges allowed them to take over the world..."
Keisuke frowned a bit, but then EW Ryaku motioned for him to go up. He just sighed, pulling a bit at his dark blue jacket, before he walked up to the podium.
"I have only known EW Aruke-san for a short amount of time, but I believe I speak for everyone in Peace when I say thank you to him for his noble sacrifice that saved both the RW and EW. And while I may still feel a bit uncomfortable with the EWs-" he rubbed his injuries slightly. "-I'm still going to help them fix their world. After all, I'm not the kind to turn away from people in need of help."
The Agency was now crying and sobbing. They were completely touched to see this display of kindness and light, especially from the people who they've hurt the most. EW Natsume was crying on EW Touma, who was sniffling while EW Akinori and Tenade were hugging each other. EW Keisuke was comforting EW Lizzy and EW Akino, who were completely heartbroken and regretful. EW Rau, Choiseung and Chenhua were hiding their tears.
After a while, EW Akino was called up to the stage. He sniffed as he spoke, "I-I always thought Dad was like the rest; horrible, uncaring, and content in watching me suffer. But now I know... T-That wasn't the case. He actually cared. I-I hate myself for not listening to him. H-He never cared if I was evil or not. H-He still killed people... For me and my friends. T-That's why... A-All of us will forever remember what he did for us, a-and we'll get better. I-I promise that."
"So do we..." EW Tenade agreed.
"It's the least we can do... After his sacrifice..." EW Natsume spoke softly.
"W-We were horrible to him... We said terrible things during our fights... And we knew he had a soft heart... Y-yet we thought that he was a jerk... I-It was the other way around in the end..." EW Touma choked out.
"W-We were the jerks..." EW Keisuke mumbled.
"We won't let your death be in vain, Aruke. We promise," EW Chenhua looked at the grave.
Keisuke smiled a bit, "He's probably smiling in happiness seeing that you guys have resolved to be better."
Ryaku agreed, "He's probably going to watch over you guys, so don't let him down, okay?"
The EWs all nodded before Aruke opened up a portal home, "Let's go. We have a lot of fixing up to do."
Keisuke laughed softly, "True. Azusa-nee is probably going to have my head for being a trouble magnet."
Ayame chuckled, "Aren't you one, though?"
The rest giggled in response, causing Peace's leader to blush to no end.
"Well then, bye guys," Akino waved to his counterpart, who reciprocated it, giving out a small smile.
Keisuke hugged EW Touma briefly before doing the same for the others, saying, "You need some warmth in your bones." when asked why, causing them to bloat up with red cheeks due to how sincere it was.
After everyone had said their goodbyes, they left.
