"It's okay, Your Majesty. I have lived a happy life and have no regrets."

Looking at the sad and lost Sky Temple Lord, Fukami Makoto comforted him again.

"And, even so, our hearts are still closely connected, right?"

"--Um!"

After hearing these words, the Master of Sky Temple came back to his senses, raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face, and nodded heavily.

"I will take Brother Cheng's, Huayin's, Yalan's, and everyone's thoughts together into the future indefinitely!"

"Yes, that's it. This is the Sky Temple Master I know."

Looking at the Sky Temple Lord who was shaking off the loss and with firm eyes, Fukami Makoto smiled and nodded.

"So, I will never disappear, Zun - I will always be by your side no matter what."

These words made the Master of Sky Temple caress his heart.

"I think, therefore I am?"

Fukami Makoto heard the whisper from the Master of the Sky Temple, and the expression on his face became more and more relieved.

"Yes, as long as you still remember me, I will live in your heart forever."

He knew that the Lord of the Sky Temple would no longer be sad because of his own affairs.

Thinking of this, Fukami Cheng lowered his head and was slightly startled.

"Is it almost time?"

He looked at his body that had begun to become transparent, whispered, then looked at the Lord of the Sky Temple again, and said with a smile.

"It seems it's time to say goodbye, sir."

"Brother Cheng..."

When the Master of the Sky Temple heard this, his voice tightened, but immediately he relaxed his expression, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Fukami Makoto.

"Well, goodbye, Brother Cheng."

Fukami Makoto responded with a smile.

"Goodbye, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fukami Makoto's figure disappeared in front of the Lord of the Sky Temple.

Looking at the place where Fukami Makoto disappeared, and thinking about Fukami Makoto's previous words, the smile that had just appeared on the face of the Sky Temple Lord fell. He was silent for a moment, then showed a relieved expression again, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the sky.

, then passed through the gate and continued walking into the Big Sky Temple.

As they moved forward, Lord Sky Temple saw many familiar people in the temple.

Kisarazu Narita pruning bushes.

Hachioji Shibuya cleaning the garden.

Yamauchi Gosei.

Akari Tsukimura.

as well as,

A stranger who is chatting with Akari Tsukimura...

etc!!!

Suddenly, the Lord of the Sky Temple froze on the spot.

He looked at the woman who was talking to Tsukimura Akari...looking at the extremely strange, yet extremely familiar woman, his nasal cavity was sore, and an unbelievable voice with a hint of crying came from his constantly trembling lips.

issue.

"Mother……?"

His voice was not loud, as if he was afraid that if it were louder, the scene in front of him would be scared away.

But even so, Skyji Lily, who was talking to Tsukimura Akari opposite, heard the voice of Skyji Lord.

It's magical, as if there is telepathy between them.

Sky Temple Lily stopped talking, moved her eyes away from Tsukimura Akari, turned her head, and looked in the direction of Sky Temple Lord.

"What's wrong? Your Majesty."

Sky Temple Lily was puzzled and asked gently with a little worry.

"Why do you see mom looking like this?"

While speaking, she stood up and walked towards the Sky Temple Master.

The Lord of the Sky Temple stared blankly at the Lily of the Sky Temple who was approaching him. He slowly raised his hand and stretched out his fingers towards the other person with trembling fingers.

However, as soon as Sky Temple Master extended his hand halfway, he started to withdraw it again.

He is afraid...

He was afraid that the mother in front of him was just a phantom that would dissipate with the slightest touch.

But at this moment.

Sky Temple Lily suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed the hand that Sky Temple Lord was about to take back, and held it tightly.

Then, he took a step forward and took the Sky Temple Master into his arms.

Warm and real.

real!

This scene before my eyes is all real!

A huge sense of happiness suddenly came over, causing the tears of the Lord of the Sky Temple to burst instantly.

He hugged Sky Temple Lily back and kept calling in a low voice.

"Mom, mom, mom..."

Faced with such a reaction from the Lord of the Sky Temple, Lily of the Sky Temple was slightly stunned, but did not ask anything at this time.

She just gently caressed the Sky Temple Master's back, smiled, and responded one after another.

"Yeah, I'm here."

At the same time, another big and warm hand fell on the head of the Sky Temple Master.

The Lord of the Sky Temple raised his head, and through his eyes blurred by tears, he saw a figure that made him even more excited.

"Father!"

Yes, that figure was none other than the Sky Temple Dragon who walked out of the Buddhist temple at some point.

He did not reprimand the Sky Temple Master for his weakness at this time.

On the contrary, when he looked at the Sky Temple Master crying like this, a smile slowly appeared on his usually serious face.

I saw him nodding to the Lord of the Sky Temple, with pride and distress coexisting in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but that expression said everything.

——Thank you for your hard work, I’m proud of you!

…

…

The other side.

From nine to five.

Gates' room.

A spiraling gray scarf emerged first. Then, the gray scarf was put away by a hand, revealing Gates and Woz underneath it.

Putting the gray scarf in his hand behind his back, Woz looked back at Gates, said nothing, just smiled, and left.

When Gates saw this, he immediately called Woz.

"Wait! Why are we the only ones back? Where is the King of Time?"

Woz paused slightly and chuckled.

"Oh, my Majesty the Demon King certainly has other things to be busy with. We mortals just need to follow them and don't explore."

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Click!

The door is closed.

Isolate the image of Gates who remains in the room with his fists clenched and his expression changing inexplicably.
