Chapter 271 -: 261: Epilogue! (II) (1/2)

Year 781, White Palace, The Next Day.

The start of the year officially began and the old one passed on. The warm sunlight Planet Elosyia's two suns peered into the large bedroom. Twelve n.a.k.e.d girls could be seen resting next to one lone male figure with white spiky hair shooting straight up, curving at its tips and a white tail sticking out of his butt.

Another lone figure could be seen n.a.k.e.d as well, currently seen cross-legged on the bed further away. This figure was a girl with light blue skin, a perfectly beautiful and toned, but smooth body. The way the sunlight shone on her body made it appear ethereal, as if she were an angel. Well, that's because she was an Angel! It was of course Vados.

She had her eyes closed, and was reveling in the sunlight, while also taking whiffs of the room here and there. She was still trying to get used to Nao's scent. She was actually starting to like it.

Before long, the next one to stir on the bed was actually Nao himself. His eyelids fluttered a bit, before they slowly opened. Nothing happened at first but his eyes laid upon Vados and he became stunned seeing how beautiful she was n.a.k.e.d on this morning.

However that soon came to an end as a dull pain struck against his head. It wasn't from the girls nor from the wild day they had yesterday. It was one if the best days Nao ever had. But what he felt was more of a groggy state. He wasn't recovering from a hangover either.

His heart felt extremely heavy right now. He could listen to every beat it made. Hearing and feeling this way, Nao curled up into a ball, wrapping his arms around his legs.

The atmosphere changed around them but the other girls still slept peacefully. Vados of course realized this sudden change in the atmosphere but she didn't turn around to look at Nao. She only kept looking through their large sliding window which lead into the veranda, calmly absorbing the two suns' rays.

Vados then took this time to speak out to Nao with a calm voice.

”Your heart seems to be in turmoil, Nao. Care to enlighten me?”

”...Was it that obvious?”

”Fufu, like an open book. I may still be new to love but its quite easy to observe such things even without looking at it directly. Your aura is different right now.”

Hearing that, Nao didn't respond to her. He took this time to wiggle his way out of the girls and slowly approached Vados while still on the bed. He didn't even say anything, and only proceeded to rest his head against her back, wrapping his arms around her waist.

”...Can we stay like this for a couple moments? I won't do anything. It's just...”, Nao spoke up as his voice began to wander off.

Yet as soon as he did, Vados seemed ready to reply to him, as if she already knew what he wanted to talk about.

”You wish to talk about the woman whose throat you crushed to death before your very eyes, the very same one who caused all those time flow incidents and constantly put TokiToki City into a state of chaos, yes?”

”!”, Nao tried to exclaim, but he became speechless. Only shock remained in his eyes as he felt the warmth of Vados's back, but at the same time it was still cool to the touch

But Vados felt this nonetheless and a smile crept on her lips before she continued to speak with a laugh.

”Fufu, too shocked for words, Nao? A curious one. You must be wondering how I know such things?”

”...Should I say, as expected of an Angel? But please enlighten me, Vados. I kind of have a rough idea.”

”Do you, now? Well it's pretty simple. Once I made my decision to join you and Father officially appointed me, I decided to look at your remaining future, in this 'plane', as you call it. I also tried to look into beyond that but every time I did, I would only see static. Quite the strange phenomenon really.”

”So you really, did, huh? And me talking about this person was seen in that?”

”Just for a brief moment. But I cannot help you in your decision. It must be decided by you. If you do plan to bring her in, you will make sure to face the consequences after. I will use what power I have so she can be brought here.”

Hearing that, Nao felt his heart stir a bit, and the heavy feeling he was having lifted quite a bit. But it was still lingering.

”...Thank you for those words, Vados. I am well prepared if things go wrong. I've made my decision already too, it's just I don't know if the girls will like her...”

”But you've already decided, haven't you?”

After Vados asked that, Nao remained silent for a moment before responding to her.

”Yes. I want to resurrect Towa.”

Nao spoke out softly to not wake the others. Hearing his firm voice, Vados couldn't help but let out another giggle.

”Fufu, such a firm resolution. I like it. If you are indeed ready for that then we can do the resurrection later today. Why don't you go freshen up for now? Would you like me to inform them?”

Nao lightly shook his head denying her.

”No, I will tell them myself. As long as Elsa isn't against it I'm sure the others will slowly get used to Towa. I'll go on ahead and take a cold shower. Thank you for talking with me about this, Vados. My heart is feeling better.”

”Anytime. Now off you go.”

After Vados said that, Nao parted from her back. He got off the bed and let his white tail droop beneath his legs. Sliding open the double doors that lead into the bathroom, Nao's figure soon vanished. He closed them behind him and could no longer be seen. The sounds of running water soon echoed from the inside as more time began to pass.

Hearing this, Vados kept observing the two suns as they rose into the sky. She then spoke out once more, causing Chronoa's body to shudder a bit, the same went for the other girls.

”So, Chronoa, when are you going to stop pretending to be asleep? The same goes for the rest of you. I think Nao realized it already but he still tried to keep his voice down.

”Urk. Busted...”, A soft voice suddenly spoke out.

Chronoa, who was among the girls, currently was seen laying on on her side. She was curled up slightly as well. She could hear her heart beating heavily the moment she heard Nao wanted to resurrect Towa.

She soon shook that feeling away and slowly raised her body. Elsa soon followed her and before long the ten other girls raised their bodies as well. It was Elsa who spoke out to Vados.

”Guess we can't hide much from you, Vados. Still, this makes me very uneasy. I can tell where Nao is coming from. If that Towa is removed from all of her current circ.u.mstances, she is nothing more than a girl who cares for cares about her family, right?”

”Indeed. according to what Nao said. It makes sense, considering Chronoa here actually went through with it. You are no longer the Supreme Kai of Time.”, Vados responded calmly. She now took this time to shift her body, now looking at the rest of the girls.

”Yes...but Towa and I go really far back. She caused sooooo many messes in the time flux. I'm grateful to Nao for helping kill off the culprits and brought peace back to TokiToki City. I don't like this...”, Chronoa said as she became downcast.

Hearing Chronoa say that, Elsa approached her and gave her a big hug from behind, but didn't say anything. Chronoa's voice escaped from her mouth as she continued to speak.

”But as much as I don't like Towa,...she is someone who can be decisive and can kill without a second thought. This next plane Nao mentioned to us where our next adventure lies is wrought with war and unknown. I can see we need people like her.”

”So you actually aren't against it, Sister Chronoa?”

”Not really. Though there will probably be some friction along the way for a while, Big Sister. I don't want to go against Nao's resolve.”

”If you aren't against it then I share the same sentiment. Do the rest of you have any ill will on this matter?”

After Elsa asked that, she parted from Chronoa, only to look at the ten girls around her, and Vados. Caulifla and Kale were confused on what was going on. To them, it sounded like someone would be joining them. They didn't know who this Towa was, but they simply shook their heads.

The rest of the girls followed suit, shaking their heads no. A smile bloomed on her face.

”Then it's decided. We will let Nao calm down in the shower alone. Let's go get ready ourselves. Vados, you said you can resurrect Towa? Do we not need to contact King Yemma?”

”That is not necessary. I can bring her soul back directly from Hell. She has been locked in her own special Hell where not even time flows. I will need to contact Father though about this, just as a precaution.”

”Alright, Vados. Let's go get ready, everyone. We must be ready for any uncertainties during this resurrection.”

”””Yeah!”””, Everyone happily responded. They even raised their right fists into the air. Vados watched on with curiosity in her eyes, and she decided to join in too for the fun of it.

Before long time started to pass by again. It was well past noon now. The heavy feeling in Nao's heart completely vanished as he washed his body in cold water.

He freshened up and donned his Supreme Kai attire. He could hear various chatter coming outside the bathroom so it was obvious the girls were awake.

He exited it letting his spiky hair wave around. Yet the moment he did all eyes went to him. He saw all the girls dressed in combat wear. Those who had weapons even had them drawn to the side as they sat on their knees on the bed.

Seeing this, Nao could only sigh.

”...Did Vados tell you guys?”

Hearing him ask that, Elsa and the girls shook her head. She had her bow sitting to the side of her. She then replied back

”No. We just happened to be awake during the whole thing. We could feel your determination on this. All of us made a decision and we won't go against you resurrecting Towa. This is just for safety measures in case she tries to fight back.”

”Really? I know this is a sensitive topic, I'm surprised you all are going along with this, Chronoa. You hate Towa, don't you?”

”I do, for every mess she she's caused since my ascension into the Supreme Kai of Time. But now that title of mine is no longer, and has been passed down to Trunks. You only see me as a normal Supreme Kai and a girl now, Nao. If Towa is willing to do the same, then I'll try to reconcile with her. Don't expect much though, okay?”, Chronoa said with a hint of sadness.

”I won't. Shall we get this over with? Are you ready, Vados?”

”I am. Please step aside. I will now make a connection to the Other World.”

After Vados got off on the bed, Nao made way for her. With him now beside her the girls made their way one by one off the bed and stood at either side. Vados's eyes became serious but she still let out a funny chant, causing the black orb of her angel staff to shine a green light.

”Hoi-hoi-hoiiiii~!”, Vados chanted, doing a single swing of her staff. It then shone a bright green light, lighting up the room. Further away from them, a spatial distortion suddenly appeared. It opened near the room's ceiling. It kept expanding until a shadow of a figure slowly dropped through it.

This figure gently floated on downward. Yet they didn't move one bit. Only a smile crept on her face.
