Koyo - Heavenly Ending After Story

Misa, Sena and I, all three of us, had returned from Hell to the mortal realm-.

Although a number of days had gone by, Sena still remained asleep.

The place where he had been stabbed was now fully healed, and it was supposed to be just a matter of him waking up....

Just as I was sighing as I gazed at the sleeping Sena-

When I turned around after feeling someone tap me on the shoulder, Misa was there, smiling at me.

‘Kureha-san said he would stay with him today, so why don’t we go out somewhere for the first time in a while?’

‘No, I’m fine staying here.’

Once I said it, Misa huffed as if annoyed and poked at my cheek.

‘Hey-’

‘You need to take a break. We may be living spirits, but we still need to make sure to keep our minds healthy.’

Letting go of my hand, Misa came to sit down next to me.

‘I get that you’re worried. I feel the same way.....but I worry for you just as much, Koyo.’

‘...........’

I put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to me.

.....Being this way calmed me down. I really was glad Misa was with me.

Sitting with her like this made me want to lean on her not just physically, but emotionally too.....

‘.....Sena might not want to wake up.’

‘What.....?’

‘I wonder if he wants to stay holed up in dreams. I feel like he’s having a happy dream.....of when he used to be an idol.’

It was unusual for a ghost to sleep. I’d never seen anyone but Sena do it.

But he was always falling asleep. And afterwards, his memories would reset—

‘Once he’s awake, he may have forgotten again. About the fact that he’s dead.’

‘.....Then all we have to do is make him remember.’

Misa moved away from me and took Sena’s hand.

‘I’ll tell him the truth any number of times. No matter how tough it may be, I believe that he’ll be able to overcome it.....’

Looking at me, a smile rose to Misa’s face.

‘Isn’t that what you’ve always done, Koyo-san? It must have been hard for you all on your own, but now you have me. And you’ve got Kureha-san on your side too.....So it’ll all be fine. Let's all support one another.’

.....That’s, true. They were all there for me. And most importantly, I had Misa there to encourage me like this.

‘Thanks, Misa. But holding another guy’s hand is out.’

So speaking, I drew Misa towards me, detaching her hand from Sena’s.

‘Huh, but this is Sena we’re talking about?’

‘That’s got nothing to do with it.’

‘Wh-What—???’

‘Have you forgotten how jealous you made me back in Hell?’

‘Th-That was-.....I see.....I’m sorry.’

‘Just so long as you understand. Remember that I’m the only guy that you can touch. Alright?’

‘Heh-ahaha-! You’re finally back to your usual self, Koyo-san. Ah, I wonder if I should keep making you jealous from now on-’

‘Please don’t.’

‘Ahaha, I was joking.’

‘So, once Kureha-san comes here to take my place....where do you want to go?’

‘How about a movie? We haven’t gone to see one even once since we got back.’

‘Sounds good to me. Right now, I’m not in the mood for a horror, but something fun.’

Taking Misa’s hand in mine, I carried it towards my lips.

‘.....Well, I suppose if I’m with you, pretty much anything is fun.’

As I pressed my lips against the back of her hand, Misa blushed.

.....Too damn cute.

‘Me too.....anything is fun when I’m with you, Koyo-san.’

Unable to help myself at seeing a smile float to her face as she spoke, this time I was the one to touch her cheek —

‘Sorry to keep you waiting.’

.....Gah-! Kureha-san, read the mood already!

‘Please take good care of him, Kureha-san.’

‘Sure thing. .....-Koyo. Why are you glaring at me like that?’

‘No reason.’

Sighing, I stood up.

‘We’ll leave him to you, Kureha-san. Thanks.’

‘No problem. Take your time and make sure you get a good break.’

After that, I looked at Sena and prayed inside my heart.

—Let the dream end. Hurry up and come back.

I wasn’t sure if it was because he’d heard my prayer, but Sena woke up not long after this. Not as the idol SENA of S-CROWN, but as himself, his memories fully intact—
