Chapter 1326 Happy Ending
"They look happy."
The one who spoke was Jane Ursula, and while she was a considerable distance from the wedding, she could see everything that went on in it.
She had dropped by just earlier, and even dropped a present for Jared, but she knew when to leave.
Once she concluded her sentence, she turned to a figure that was standing beside her.
He wore a hood that concealed his face, but she could see him clearly.
His long black hair and blue eyes, with his perfect body made him as endearing to be with as always.
"You're not saying anything." Jane nudged him, as he was still looking at the wedding in silence.
"Don't tell me you also want to get married."
Even though Jane said this in a playful tone, there was a hint of seriousness in her voice.
"Na! I'm just looking at the Jared fellow. I still can't believe we're the same person."
"Well… you're not exactly the same." Jane corrected
"Yeah, I know. He has two lives worth of memories and all. Plus, he has a different disposition from me."
"Exactly! That's why I brought you back."
The hooded man beside her, the Lewis Griffith she remembered from the past, leaked out a smile.
He turned to her and nudged her back.
"Thanks for that, by the way."
"You're welcome, old friend." Jane chuckled.
"Thanks to you, I can finally practice Magic properly and explore all the things I was unable to in the past."
"Hey! What do you mean 'I'?!" Jane responded with a slight frown on her face.
It was cute having a fairy with a round face as hers frown, so Lewis chuckled at the sight.
"Sorry. I meant WE. We're going to explore and achieve great things together, Jane."
The Fairy smiled in agreement, bobbing her head furiously.
"That's more like it!"
They both laughed, enjoying the moment they spent with each other.
Even when they weren't engaged in deep Magic Research and discussions, it was clear that they still enjoyed each other's company.
After laughing for a while, though, there was silence between the two.
"You know, there's apparently infinite realities out there. If you want, we can find one where Emilia is—"
"Nah! She wouldn't be the same." Lewis swiftly responded.
However, he wasn't frowning or looking sad.
"Jared was able to move on and find Maria, while the other Lewis got together with Karlia. It's time I also moved forward with my life."
This version of Lewis Griffith—Lewis Prime—knew exactly what he wanted to pursue and who he wanted to do it with.
"I want to explore Magic to the end… with you."
Jane Ursula's smile had never been brighter as she held his outstretched hand.
"Me too."
They both stared at each other with lovestruck eyes, their very depths brimming with passion.
Silently, they both had an understanding.
The overflowing love they had within them was not directed at the other, neither was it meant for someone else.
These two—the Great Sage and Mad Witch—knew what held their full devotion.
MAGIC!
"Let's begin now!" Lewis Prime said in excitement.
"You read my mind!" Jane responded with equal exuberance.
In that instant, a multicolored portal appeared in front of them and they walked in.
… Hands held the entire time.
*******
The events that happened after the wedding were the culmination of years in the making.
Once the biggest threat was vanquished, the only expected conclusion was for a happy ending to take place.
And this applied to everyone.
"We're going to explore this universe and far beyond. There's a lot of life and cultures, and a lot we have missed out on so far… and we want to see them."
These were Kuzon and Ana's parting words as they left their homeworld to explore the stars.
Apparently, alien civilization seemed appealing to them for both Ana's research and Kuzon's broader understanding of society.
One of the most surprising developments was between The Ursula and Gawain—the two Ultimate Automatons.
"He was the one who kept me company in the Great Sage's Archives, and we just kind of clicked." Were the words that The Ursula told her creator when she was asked about the Automaton who now followed her around.
"I desire to understand and explore the meaning of love, and Gawain has offered to assist in that endeavor."
Words could not properly convey the expressions that Lewis and Karlia gave to the Automaton that had become like their child.
In the end, they could only give their blessings.
After all, how could they fault Ursula for her decision when their wedding was also coming up.
"You're invited, Jared. You and your friends." Lewis and Karlia announced to the newly-wed groom.
However, there was a slight issue that was pointed out.
"What about the Constellations in the Nether Realm? I don't think they would approve of so many Aether beings crossing over."
In response to this concern, however, Lewis and Karlia merely laughed and shrugged it off.
"Don't worry. We already reached an agreement. They're going to be in attendance as well, so it should be a fun experience."
Fun was relative, but Jared didn't bother to clarify what the two meant by it.
"Heyo, Jared! Savior of all existence… we meet at long last!"
The last person anyone expected to show up for an event like a wedding actually made an appearance.
He had long and unkempt hair, with a mage's hat, and a long robe that resembled a traditional Mage's outfit.
His feet did not touch the ground, and while he seemed to be nothing but a senile old man with a few screws loose in his head, no one could deny his power.
… The power that defied the world.
"You're… Crazy Neron, right?"
"Crazy? Who's crazy? Me? You? We're all crazy! Hahaha!"
Of course, Crazy Neron would speak gibberish as he addressed Jared and his lovely wife.
He truly knew no restraint.
"Hey! Stop describing me that way! Oh, I'm not talking about you, Jared. I'm talking about that silly… hey! I said stop doing that!"
Everyone around Crazy Neron thought he was crazy for sure, and he grumbled in frustration.
As long as he remained within this reality—this existence—he would have to endure it.
"Damn Crafter…" He mumbled, but decided to let it go quite quickly.
There was no longer any need to let these sort of things get to him.
"I'm leaving this place now. Have fun in your life, Jared."
"Oh? You're returning to your homeworld?"
"What? Hell no! I'm ditching this entire string of existence! I'm making my own and living out the rest of my life there!"
"O-ohhh… well, good luck."
"Pfft! Luck? I don't need luck! I have all I need now! Just decided to show up cus apparently… well, never mind that."
Crazy Neron eventually ditched the party after taking in as much booze as he could fill into his belly, and vanished from the world.
… The whole world.
"Damn… Kuzon was right. That guy is a nut job." Jared mumbled under his breath.
Those were the last words recorded that referred to the Crazy Old Man in any way.
In conclusion, though, everyone had a happy ending.
The kind they desired and deserved.
But… how long would this last?
Perhaps they could find out after some time had passed.
