The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Ray started to say something then closed his mouth.

“At that time did you intend to say goodbye to me…..?” (Misa)

“….Yeah….” (Ray)

Ray looks up at the night sky in thought. The moon shone brightly nestled amongst the clouds.

“I was going to die for peace. As a hero I had to settle the war that had been going on for 2000 years. I was prepared and didn’t intend to leave any regrets behind. However……” (Ray)

Ray strongly clenches his fist.

“I wanted to see you again.” (Ray)

Ray looks at Misa.

“If we were reborn together I wanted to make you happy.” (Ray)

“….Ray-san….” (Misa)

Misa looked sad as she looked at Ray.

“…….Happiness in the afterlife? I don’t need that…..” (Misa)

Tears formed in her eyes as she looked at him.

“I don’t expect you to make me happy. I fell in love with Ray-san and wanted to be near you no matter what’s happening and whatever the situation is. (Misa)

Misa appeals to him.

“Why didn’t you take me with you?” (Misa)

Ray’s at a loss for words but doesn’t break his gaze with Misa.

“….You had nothing to do with that 2000-year-old war……… I couldn’t drag you into in my circumstances….” (Ray)

“….I never considered myself dragged in at all……” (Misa)

Misa clearly informs him.

“So if I had a heavy fate like Ray-san or Arnos-sama should I say that Ray-san has nothing to do with me?” (Misa)

Ray shook his head.

“……I would definitely help you.” (Ray)

With a clear tone, Ray strengthens his voice and continues.

“No matter where you are or what happens I’ll help you.” (Ray)

“I’m also the same. Unlike Ray-san I have no power, however, even if you are a 2000-year-old hero willing to die for a 2000-year-old war I’m willing to fight with you.” (Misa)

“…..You could die.” (Ray)

Misa laughs and smiles sweetly at him.

“What would you do when the person you love is about to die but you’re afraid to die yourself?” (Misa)

Ray’s eyes widen in surprise.

“What?…… Maybe I’m just being stupid but Ray-san was going to die and I couldn’t do anything about it nor did I have the strength or the trust from you to tell me. I only found out after the fact. That made me a little bit sad…..” (Misa)

Misa expresses her feelings of frustration.

“What do you think the most important thing is Ray-san?” (Misa)

“….When you can laugh from the very bottom of your heart and no one is threatening you. I think that’s real freedom.” (Ray)

“My freedom is being near Ray-san.” (Misa)

Eyes filled with both strength and kindness stare at Ray.

“Please don’t take that away from me.” (Misa)

Ray nods.

“I promise.” (Ray)

Misa laughs in satisfaction.

“Will you sit?” (Misa)

Patting the ground next to her Ray sits down.

“I thought you were angry.” Ray says quietly.

“Me? Oh I am angry. Angry because you didn’t tell me anything.” (Misa)

Misa teases him.

“What Ray-san wished for and worked so hard for for 2000 years was peace. I don’t think that feeling is wrong so the only thing I’m angry about is the fact you didn’t tell me.” (Misa)

“Sorry.” (Ray)

“I’m not mad at you anymore okay? You came back.” (Misa)

“What if I didn’t come back?” (Ray)

Misa thought about it a little before answering.

“I’d make sure to beat you to a pulp in the next life.” (Misa)

Misa laughs while Ray smiles wryly.

“Misa.” (Ray)

“Eh?” (Misa)

Misa stared at Ray in surprise as he called her by her name with no honorifics.

“I love you even more than I did before.” (Ray)

“Ah….” (Misa)

Misa looks down shyly.

“Me too…….. All this time……. I’ve been in love with you Ray-san.” (Misa)

Ray gently puts his hand over Misa’s

“Wa…was it like this at that time?” (Misa)

“Before going to war?” (Ray)

“Yes……” (Misa)

Ray and Misa are both absorbed in each others eyes.

“…..I’m a little bit worried about what’s going to happen from now on.” (Misa)

“Nothings going to happen anymore.” (Ray)

“Really….?” (Misa)

“Shall I prove it?” (Ray)

Misa nods slightly and closes her eyes.

Their hands move and they intertwine their fingers.

“I love you.” (Ray)

“I love you too.” (Misa)

They keep whispering I love you to each other before Ray slowly approaches Misa and his lips overlap her pale red ones.

The moon came out from behind the clouds to softly bless the couple.
