23 Conclusion and Another World (2/2)

As Rafi was resting beside Sakura, he looked at Sakura beside him. Looking at her smile as she was sleeping, he felt a heaviness in his heart. Some said that emotional ties were hard to bear, and he knew how heavy it were.

His promises in the Afterlife, his feeling for Athena, and now his ties with Sakura, Illyasviel, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Artoria. As much as he wanted to be faithful to one, he just couldn't let each of them alone. He felt like he had wronged them by making them shared their man.

Sakura, sensed his gaze, woke up as she opened her eyes slowly. Both their eyes met as they looked at each other calmly, silently in the dim lit room. There was a saying that eyes were windows to the soul. Sakura, seeing his confusion and guilts, smiled gently to him as she assured him that it was their own choice. Eventhough they still felt jealousy sometimes, but she believed that they would got along better as times passed. Though she also joked him that he was better telling them first if he might had another, or else, a punishment would awaited him.

After he set a new resolve for the future, Rafi then teased her that he missed how she felt after a long time. Sakura, knowing his meaning, blushed hard as she didn't think Rafi would wanted to do it after those heart-warming talk. But she also somewhat anticipated it, as she also missed to do it with him. Thus, that night was decided to not be a calm night as waves of sensual pleasure were spreading from Sakura's room. With each times passed, their voice kept being louder until someone finally couldn't held it any longer and intruded to their night activity, much to the pair shock.

As 'she' intruded, the room was silent at first. Illyasviel and Artoria thought that their torture were ended and they could had a nice sleep finally. After somewhat rested shortly, they could heard those sensual and arousing voices were sounding again, much clearer and louder these times, with the addition of another familiar voice, much to their irritations.

As the sun rose, Artoria and Illyasviel greeted their morning time with dark circles around their eyes. They were stunned after seeing Rafi's somewhat tired face as he was cooking happily with Sakura and Berserker's helps. They couldn't helped looking resentful to the trio because of their sleepless night activity last night. Besides that, they also felt some jealousy as the trio were looking more blissful after that passionate night.

... ...

The days was calm as the years passed by quietly. One year before, Sakura became a third grade highschooler as Emiya and Tohsaka graduated together. Tohsaka decided to accompany Emiya to learn proper magecraft in Clock Tower as Emiya got an invitation from them.

Before their departure, Emiya and Tohsaka bid farewell to Rafi and other girls at Matou mansion. Sakura then told her sister that she would also travelled with Rafi and the girls to go around the world, so they might not met for some times. Tohsaka knew that day would come ever since she knew her sister fell for him, as he was a mysterious man, a supposed demigod, he might not wanted to stay quiet all the times.

When Sakura neared her graduation, she then entrusted her inheritances from Matou family in Tohsaka's care. She knew, for Emiya to learn magecraft properly and specially Tohsaka's jewel magecraft, they would need many resources for supports.

In those two years, Rafi joined Mage Association as a freelancer magus by Bazett's recommendation. For understanding his space and time ability, he used it repeatedly in every missions he did. Sakura, with Rafi helped her and some training with him and Illyasviel, could performed some ice related magecraft to their surprise. Sometimes he would do the mission alone, sometimes he would also partnered with Sakura, Illyasviel, Bazett, Artoria, or Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

As a result, there were sometimes when he did ambiguous things while partnering with the girls. As for Bazett, although she seemed to develop some feelings for him, but her loyalty to her clan and Mage Association made her unable to leave with him, much to his dismay. Though, because of their intimate relationships, he might got a nice surprise when he got back there later.

In his spare times, he was also having mock-fights with Artoria, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, or both for his battle experiences. At some points, he finally could use his time ability to accelerate or decelerate the times around the target. Though it could only lasted until three seconds if used on moving target and longer for unmoving target. But he still felt that his time ability could still be developed further.

Some days after Sakura graduated, she bid her sister farewell as she already prepared to go with Rafi and the others. Then, on the bright sunny day, Rafi, Sakura, Illyasviel, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Artoria were standing together in the living room. They looked at each other with some anticipations as Rafi spoke to them.

”Well, are you ready? I will bring you all to Avalon first. We already made our home there sometimes before, so just rest there first after arriving in another world. You all need to be accustomed with another world customs and environment first as it might be different with this place. Besides, you can also see what's happened outside from there as I will it.”

After his Fantasy Seed became a budding tree, Rafi got an ability to open a stable dimension, a separate dimension from his Kamui, with ten kilometers square widthwise. He designed an oval-shaped island with six kilometers square width on the center, the rest was for the seas surrounding the island.

He also purchased a mini sun-moon circulation system from the System to make his dimension habitable. It expended his 350,000 Points, emptied his Points to only 50,450. After two years, a small forest could be found in the previously barren island as he also accelerated the plants growth with his time skill everytimes he got the chance. He built a mansion there with its greenery and pools by the golems from Mage Association mission's rewards.

”Un. We understand, Rafi.” The girls looked at each other before Sakura said softly to him. Then, as they held each other's hand, Rafi pulled them into his dimension(Avalon).

”Then, let's go!”

'[Claire], use the world ticket. I will go...to the Shinobi world.'

[Affirmative. Prepare for transmission. Host should be prepared for an impact after arriving there.]

'Eh, impact? What do you mean, [Claire]? Ahh!!', Rafi was then sent away from the Nasuverse when he was still puzzled over the System words.
