S04Ep1: Welcome Back ~お帰りなさい~
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWell, how much did Team Harmony do outside of their home over the past couple of months? Visiting England and Central, fighting off the Homunculus here and there, being pals with royals, defeating Pluton and Tirek. All these things that would've taken years to handle, and they've managed over just months time. Pretty good for them, though as they were flying along towards Tokyo, they all couldn't help but wonder what kind of greeting they would have once they get back home. If pluton's attack did go worldwide, and if it did reach Japan, then there was no doubt in their minds that they were seen fighting, and defeating the beast. It was anyone's guess really.
By the time they did return to more familiar territory, it was getting rather late, nightfall as a matter of fact. It took them awhile to get themselves around Tokyo, dropping off Blair, Karma, and Pinkie Pie to their respected homes, Nagisa, Aladdin and Twilight landing down closer to Twilight's house at this point. Normally the house would be asleep right now, but the lights were all on, saying that the resident was still inside and awake. Aladdin landed down right over in Twilight's front yard, silently and carefully. Twilight got up and looked to her home alongside Nagisa and Aladdin.
"It's been a long time since I've last seen this house," Twilight sighed, as she went over to the front door. Well, no time like the present. So, in no time at all, she went on and knocked on the door. Twilight took a step back and waited for only a few seconds before the door then opened up. The trio soon saw Twilight's mother then answer the door, and at first, she honestly didn't know what to say. Her eyes went wide in surprise, and she even needed a double take before she realized it wasn't a dream.
"I'm home, mom," Twilight simply said with a smile.
"Y-Yugure. You're alright!" Her mother said, tears of joy falling from her eyes as she hugged Twilight tightly. Twilight happily hugged back, great to be home. Nagisa and Aladdin simply watched on with smiles on their faces too.
"Oh, Twilight, I was so worried about you! You were still gone, and I've heard about Central, and I ... I ... Oh sweetie, I'm so glad you're alright," Twilight's mother cried, hugging her daughter tightly again.
"I missed you too mom. And Yoroi's doing okay too," Twilight said, making her mom feel much better on that as well. It was then she looked to Nagisa and Aladdin.
"Thanks for bringing her home," the mother said.
"It's okay, Ms. Kagayaki. So, we'll see you tomorrow, ok Yugure?" Aladdin asked, Twilight nodding.
"Of course. Have a good night, guys," Twilight answered.
.......
So, with the final person dropped off, Aladdin and Nagisa both went right off back home together to Nagisa's apartment. It had been too long since either had even been home to be sure, and when Nagisa and Aladdin went through that apartment door to his home, a good nostalgia sense went over to them the moment the light turned on in the apartment for the first time in months. Not a single thing was moved or bothered, everything left as it should be. Aside from it being a bit dusty, everything was pretty good as it was. The first thing Nagisa did almost right away was crash down on the couch, breathing a deep sigh of relief. Aladdin would join him, but he went off towards Nagisa's room first.
"Oh couch, I missed you," Nagisa sighed, feeling very comfortable on the couch. As he enjoyed his couch, Aladdin then came back with a big grin on his face.
"Yes, it's still here!"
"What is?"
"My Vessel! I forgot to bring it along that whole time. We got some catching up to do," Aladdin said, taking a seat over by Nagisa, and doing a few practice notes with it, like a clarinet, the noise sounding more like a flute. Aladdin didn't exactly play any particular song, more rather just testing a few notes, but it was still a good callback to when they first started this crazy adventure in the first place. Nagisa smiled, laying on his side and watching him play.
"You know something, Aladdin? It is fun to travel around the world, but it's always nice to go back to where it started. Feels like you gone full circle, you know?" Nagisa commented. Aladdin got the vessel around his neck as he used to, happy to have it back, and nodded his head.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. And what a story we'll be telling the others at that Orora high too," Aladdin said. Nagisa then realized what he meant by that.
"Oh yeah, we didn't see Orora high yet, they don't know we're back. Boy, I wonder how they're going to react when we go over there," Nagisa wondered, legitimately curious. He hadn't been back at school in months, and sure he'd been keeping pace thanks to Korosensei and the occasional assignment, but still he didn't see a single face back at that building in a long time. It surely gave him some food for thought, that was for sure. As he was thinking, he took a look over to Aladdin.
"Hey, can you come with me? I got a feeling that you might be needed," Nagisa asked.
"Of course I will! I haven't seen Orora High on months," Aladdin said.
"Thanks pal," Nagisa simply replied.
~~
For Team Harmony, morning came quicker than some would like, and for Nagisa and Aladdin, it was a walk off to school and one that they found pretty calming and collected. Seeing these streets was a nice sight for Nagisa Shiota to see, especially after everything he and company had gone off through. Surprisingly, not too many were out that day, but Nagisa figured that would change one way or another once he and Aladdin would arrive off at school. Eventually, he and Aladdin arrived at the all too familiar stoplight, and both took a breather as they had to wait for the light. And that was probably a good thing too, and before they could go, they soon caught sight of the others coming their way. The light turned green when they got together so they all could head off to school together. Blair was a cat this time over her human form she had been stuck in most of the time, and was hitching a ride on Karma's head.
"Morning guys. Sleep well?" asked Nagisa.
"First good sleep I had in weeks, yeah. Wanted to get an extra five minutes, but I want to see what's going on at Orora high," Karma stated, hands casually behind his head.
"Well that's a first," Nagisa joked, the group chuckling.
"Yeah, but seriously though, what do you think will happen when we get there? I mean, it's been months, and I don't know about you, but I'm sure that Pluton attack would've gone around by now," Twilight brought up. Pinkie then popped up in between Twilight and Karma.
"I know what they'll do: they'll throw a big welcome home super duper party for us! Balloons, cake, korosensei hunting game, all the fun!" Pinkie beamed.
"Oh no, no, no, not for me. I just want a casual, regular, calm day at school. I've gone through enough excitement, thank you," Nagisa admitted.
"AWWW. Okie dokie lokie," Pinkie decided, a bit bummed out but she saw his point. Some relaxation could do them all pretty good after everything, anyway.
"Come on Pinkie, did you forget how much we've done already? We fought a Hellhound in England, a giant pig demon in Central, not to mention the mini devils and Homunculus we keep running into," Twilight reminded. While that is true, suddenly Blair shot up to her feet on another memory from before, the witch cat jumping down off of Karma's head and onto the ground in front of them, spinning around.
"Oh yeah, Envy! Think you guys wanna check in on him, we haven't heard a word out of him in weeks," Blair reminded, excited. Nagisa was the only one who didn't really see this happen, but he was as surprised as everyone else when they got the reminder of their new friend here at the school.
"Oh right. I almost forgot about him. Wonder how Korosensei's dealing with that fella," Pinkie wondered, scratching her head.
"I'll give you guys a heads-up when I find him. He's probably a 3-E student if that demon king took him in for some pointers," Karma said. Being a 3-E student himself, he would probably be the first one to see Envy and how he was doing after being apart of the human world for weeks on end. Nagisa was probably the most curious about Envy over the others.
"Right, they did say Envy decided to stay with us over working for Sombra. With what he used to do to us, something big really must've happened to make him change his mind. I'll need to find that out if I see him," Nagisa thought.
Their walk remained with basic chitchat for a while more until they reached the main building. A sight for sore eyes, this place, and it had been a pretty long time since any of them really ventured inside the place. It was a bit late, so the group had no one outside, but being only a minute in, it really wasn't that big of an issue, nor too farfetched to say that many students were still roaming about the school's main lobby. As Karma and Blair went off to the 3-E building, the others had the honor (or rather the test), of standing at the front doors. Nagisa was at front, his hands on the doors and ready to push them open. He took a look to the others behind him, and gave a sigh with a smile.
"Well, here goes nothing," sighed Nagisa, finally opening the doors.
.......
Ten seconds. That was about as quick as it took for the students to take notice of their arrival. As they expected, quite a number of them were still down at front, and when they saw Nagisa and company arrive, well let's just say, they got a taste as to what it was like to be celebrities with a crowd of paparazzi. In short ... they were surrounded by excited students.
"Oh my god, you all made it!" shouted one student.
"How'd you fight off such a giant monster like that?!" shouted another.
"Did the king of Amestris award you after that?" asked yet another.
... Yeah, none of them were used to such attention, especially Nagisa who was more used to being 'invisible' in a crowd.
"Oh god, help me," thought Nagisa, not sure what to even do with such a wave of questions. It was obvious that they all did see the report when it happened, and surely they saw what they had done more or less, though they would never guessed the reaction would be something like this. They tried to gain some distance, but it honestly wasn't too easy. They got some distance, but only about a foot. However, one figure got in the way of the students, arms spread out to his side. Turned out the figure was Gakuho Asano himself, looking peeved to see this distraction.
"Alright everyone, get to class," he instructed. And that was really all it took for the crowds to get moving and move off. The others sighed, but then Gakuho turned his attention to them. All he did was give them a smile.
"Welcome back," Gakuho simply said. Course that was all he really needed to say to them, before he went off back towards his office.
.......
So for most of the morning it was like that. It remained fairly normal enough, but when it came to the attention they were receiving, they basically were at the center of it all. No matter which class Nagisa, Pinkie, or Twilight went off to attend to, there was at least a couple of students who'd wanted to ask them plenty of questions about what they actually gone through while they were away. They couldn't blame them for really thinking that, but it surely left a bit of a different impression than what they were used to. Pinkie may be okay with it, being the social butterfly she was, but the rest were a bit new to it all. They turned from basic bystanders in the crowd to the talk of the town. At the least, they avoid getting a full group crowding them, and they didn't really try to bother Aladdin all too much, since he looked like a normal kid after his wardrobe change anyway. All the same, it surely beats constant fighting with demons like they've been doing.
Eventually though, lunchtime came around and it was a bit of a different story over the typical, actually given time to tell their little tale to everyone for once. And Pinkie Pie was more than willing to tell her story to the other students, a crowd gathered around and giving them space as if they were on a stage. Nagisa, Twilight and Aladdin sat down nearby as they too listened to Pinkie's version of the story.
"It was GIGANTUAN! That giant beast could stomp down onto any of us with one teeny tiny step, and the blows it emitted from those giant nostrils can blast away an entire field in less than ten seconds! So many soldiers stood strong at Central, almost the entire army. RATATATATATA went on their weapons, but they barely made a dent onto it. We were on our last nerves, but then Nagisa here got the great Miracle Sword out and BAM! In goes through its head. And then KABOOM, one giant monster destroyed," Pinkie continued, clearly telling the main story in question about Pluton, detailing personal experience from the fight in general, which got plenty of the crowd pretty interested.
"Well, something like that," Twilight simply said.
"Wow. It was crazy enough on TV, but damn, that's insane!" said one of the other teens in the crowd.
"Especially you Nagisa, I didn't know you had it in you," said another, towards Nagisa in particular.
"Eh, well, I don't think I should take all the credit for that," Nagisa admitted bashfully. Sure he did the world a big favor, but he still didn't feel like he should be given all the credit for the fight to the beast. Pinkie gave them all a pretty good yarn with her story of Pluton, and things did start to calm down and relax a bit once she was finished up with the details of it.
"You sure know how to make a story exciting, Pinkie," said Aladdin.
"How else can I make our heroine adventure interesting? I can't go Mr. Bland on them," Pinkie pointed out, which was true for the most part. As they were having their lunch then, someone else took a moment to stop by the main building to check in on the others.
"Everyone having a good time?"
"Oh, hey Karma. How's the morning going for you?" asked Nagisa.
"Peachy: the others really wanted to hear my story so I took the time to get that handled. Even Korosensei was fondin over me when I was done. But then again, I added a few little details after our last little encounter, so that got him interested," Karma explained, feeling confident about everything. He could feel eyes looking to him with intrigue from not too far away, which made him feel pretty high above them too.
"Details? What'd you tell him?"
"Your training with Gaara," Karma answered, giving Nagisa a wink. Well, they didn't plan on sharing that story, but at least Karma kept the crowd at 3-E and who was more familiar with these things rather than sharing with the whole school. He didn't expect Karma to tell something Nagisa did though. However, even with that, Karma wasn't finished just yet.
"Hey, by the by, 3-E really wants to check you all out when school's over, so wanna stop by?" Karma asked.
"Oh, sure. Sounds like fun," Pinkie said, the others nodding in response. Then, as if on cue, the sound of a vibration started to ring out ... from Pinkie's boobs.
To say it was weird was the basic sum up. Pinkie was cool with it, and pulled out her phone from her cleavage (that's one way to sneak in a phone). The others were more than used to these sort of antics, so it didn't come across as too odd to them.
"Hello? ... Okie dokie. Nagisa, it's for you."
"Me?" Nagisa questioned. A bit of an odd thing to get from someone else's phone, but he might as well go on and answer it.
"Hello?"
"Nagisa, good. I assume you got home alright then."
"Wait ... Ciel?"
Well that was something interesting, especially when the others heard that name come up. Nagisa knew that voice from anywhere, so it was unmistakable when that same voice came over the phone. On the other end, Ciel Phantomhive was back in his manor, good as new, and taking the call over his own phone. Pretty content to be back home after everything, he had to say.
"I guess you're home."
"Korosensei was generous enough to give me and Sebastian a lift on our return," Ciel explained. Yeah, that made sense for that demon king to do.
"Oh. But, how'd you get this number?"
"Pinkie Pie and I had a discussion while you were recovering. I find it more beneficial to keep in contact with you this way, given our distance between one another."
"Yeah, guess you're right. By the way, how'd the manor handle you and Sebastian returning home? I'd imagine they missed you, huh?" Nagisa asked.
"... Well ..."
So, there they were: Sebastian and Ciel at the doors of their home. It was about at sunset, and Ciel was willing to get a good night's rest without anymore trouble. He and Sebastian wasted no time in walking off inside.
"Sure feels refreshing to return to familiar grounds, isn't it my lord?" Sebastian noted.
"Indeed it is. Though, I do wonder where -"
"M-MASTER?!"
Nevermind. Looking over, Ciel and Sebastian took sight of the other servants nearby: Grell, Mey-Rin, Tanaka, and Bardroy. All four of the servants were extremely shocked to see Ciel and Sebastian returning after their escapade over in Amestris. Ciel stayed formal though, giving his tophat to Sebastian.
"Ah, there you are. I see you've kept this place from going to pot. I assume you're all -" Ciel stopped when he looked, only to find Bardroy, Mey-Rin, and Grell midair, and moving to him.
"... Oh."
BAM! Next thing Ciel knew, all three servants were on top of him, crying their eyes out and extremely grateful to see him.
"I thought I lost another comrade, how could you do that to me?!" shouted Bardroy.
"Master! You came back!!" added Mey-Rin.
"Everyone, collect yourselves, please!" Ciel insisted. Sebastian couldn't help but snicker at the reactions of the servants, and the reaction of Ciel trying to get them to calm down.
"They were more or less overwhelmed," Ciel concluded.
"Really? Well I'd thought you would plan ahead for that. I wrote it down for you, remember?" Nagisa reminded. Ciel took a look at the paper Nagisa gave him before he left as Nagisa bought it up. Ciel smiled.
"Indeed you did. Speaking of, I should thank you for this, it has proven valuable. The queen decided to send a few Amestris soldiers over to Japan after hearing what happened, and I arrived early enough to suggest a few soldiers to arrive," explained Ciel.
"You did? Who?"
"You'll know when they get there."
"Well, glad it's helping you out. Now, I gotta go, see you later."
"Til next time."
With that, Nagisa hung up and returned the phone to Pinkie Pie. Nagisa was glad that his future Vision list he left was actually working out for Ciel at least, and by the sound of it he was using it to full advantage too. Good thing the phonecall stopped there: the bell just started to ring.
~~
For the rest of the school day, aside from the regained attention many of them ended up getting, much of the team had gone through the day with little trouble. Yeah, it was something to try and get used to, but in the end they went through the school day with flying colors. Once the school day had ended, it was a walk right from the main building and over to 3-E. Pretty nice to say that a walk over back to 3-E was went without incident either. With the walk itself taking it's time, it did take them a little while before they took sight of the 3-E building.
Speaking of the 3-E class, things had calmed down for them as well. Since their last encounter with Tirek, the 3-E students had gone through day by day with only the basics of learning and occasional assassin lesson by the demon himself. By the time the group arrived, much of 3-E was actually still there, anticipating for Team Harmony to come back around. Still, that didn't really mean they weren't doing anything: Korosensei had placed up some targets for some of the students to practice on. Terasaka, Nakamura, and Envy were all taking some practices with knives on their targets. Particularly knife throwing, though only Nakamura seemed to do any good. Terasaka and Envy got their knives on the targets, but Nakamura was the only one of the three who got a bull's-eye. Nabiku and Hinano were sitting off aside and watching them have their fun alongside the other students.
"BRAVO, Nakamura!" Korosensei said, giving a good applause to her for scoring the best points. When it was done, Hinano went over to Envy.
"Good job, Envy, you've been doing great."
"Yeah, this training's doing me good. I think I'll be as strong as I used to be by next week," Envy replied, flexing an arm. It did take a while but envy was feeling confident in himself for a good while, especially with this training they've been doing.
"I'm looking forward to it," Hinano said, her warm smile making Envy smile too. It was hard not to feel happy around Hinano when she was cheery. As she was sitting there, Nabiku took a look over to the side, and sure enough there was Team Harmony standing there. While not as vociferous about it, she was just as glad to see them as anyone else would be. Soon she got up and got Korosensei's attention to the group coming in.
"Hey everybody!" called Pinkie, waving to them. That got their attention quickly, though only a few of them went right over to them, Envy staying back. Even if he was though, Nagisa still spotted him standing there, surprised to see him. Envy looked even more shocked on seeing Nagisa, all things considered, though he tried to not show it.
"Hey gang, told ya I'd bring the rest back," Karma said.
"That you did. Seriously, things were such a bore when you left," Nakamura admitted. As the class was chatting with them, Nagisa slipped by and took his focus on Envy. Nagisa stopped about a foot away from him, taking a moment to see who this was. The last time they could recall, things were a bit deadly with eachother, but now it was a bit hard to say. Should he be wary of Envy now, or no? Though, Nagisa wasn't even sure if this even was Envy, he looked so different. He acted pretty different too as he observed him earlier. ...
"So, uh ... hey, Envy," Nagisa began.
"Hi, uh, Nagisa. Karma told us you survived, but ..."
"Yeah, it's a long story," Nagisa admitted, rubbing the back of his head. Envy and Nagisa found the first moment a bit awkward (how could it not?).
"Well, congratulations on Pluton, Nagisa. Karma was telling us how you, well, saved everyone," Envy began, rubbing his head bashfully. Nagisa grew firm and decided to just get his thoughts out. guess that would explain why Karma got that out, but he might as well say his truth.
"Don't thank me, Envy, I barely did very much to help out. If you're going to thank anybody, thank them. I couldn't have even done that without them," Nagisa made clear, looking over to Korosensei and Karma. Envy looked over there as well.
It took a little bit, but eventually Nagisa and Envy took a seat over by the 3-E building and started to relax. Sure it was odd for Nagisa to have a pleasant conversation with someone like envy, but with envy once thinking Nagisa died, the feeling was shared between the two. Well, at least both weren't planning on fighting eachother, and while everyone delt with the others, Nagisa and Envy had a moment to themselves.
"So ... how is it being a human? You doing ok, or ... ?" Nagisa asked.
"Eh, it's okay I guess. I'm not as strong as before, but hey it could be worse. Besides, I'm coming back," Envy answered, looking up to the sky for a moment and thinking it over.
"We saw," Nagisa simply said.
"So how is it ... well, dying?" Envy asked, not exactly sugarcoating it.
"Well ... strange. I didn't feel anything, it just happened so fast. ... It didn't hurt, but I felt light. Empty. You know, like you're not all there. ..."
"That's how I felt when Sombra changed me," Envy said, looking to his hand. "A Homunculus's life-force is its Philosopher Stone. when he pulled that out of me, I thought that would be it for me. ... but I guess Sombra figured that me being a human would be worse than just killing me. ..." Envy could still feel his Philosopher Stone being pulled out of him on that day like it just happened. Nagisa stayed quiet, but he could sense that Envy felt ... indifferent about it. Not sad (not anymore), but still a little uneasy.
"Sounds like it didn't work as he wanted," Nagisa concluded. Envy turned to him and smirked.
"For once you're right, worm. Homunculus are artificial humans, but now I'm an actual human. Yeah, my powers aren't on me, but you humans are so full of surprises. And now I'm one of them," Envy concluded, remembering his own experience with 3-E.
"Yeah, we humans are very diverse. I'm just glad you're enjoying yourself," Nagisa said. That was when Envy snickered.
"OH I will be. I look forward to the waking moment when I watch the eyes of my enemy fade away with my hands," Envy firmly stated, turning very dark and dramatic for that one moment. Normally, Nagisa would be concerned, but ...
"Wasn't that a quote from The Count of Monte Cristo?"
Envy flinched, the drama immediately broken.
"... Well, you killed the mood."
"Kirara read it aloud one time, and she was especially strong in that phrase. Kinda hard to forget," Nagisa admitted, remembering back during his earlier years in the school. Kinda hard to forget such a dark representation from someone like Kirara.
"Well, you get the point: when I find those demon lords, they're gonna be begging for mercy! Tirek, Sombra, I swear you're gonna pay."
"Wait. Tirek? you said Sombra took your stone away."
"And Tirek tried to talk me into killing myself - for real that time! To think he treated me like shit and get away with it -"
"Trust me, Envy, he didn't," Nagisa stated, smirking his own smirk. Envy stopped and turned to him.
"How'd you know, you never met Tirek."
"Actually I have. Many times actually. When Gaara was training me, he kept on berating me on how useless I was to my friends, and how little I actually had done ... turned out ... he was right. Though, it did inspire me to actually get trained by Gaara, so I could be stronger for my friends. Eventually when I got back he came by again, and ..." Nagisa ended his statement when he showed Envy his Halo Blade. It took no rocket scientist to put two and two together, and Envy's eyes widened.
"... You got to be joking."
"Not at all. He'd been causing so much trouble for everyone, he released Pluton onto the world, tortured me and you, when I stabbed him through the throat, it felt ... almost satisfying. ... It sounds weird, huh?"
"You know who you're talking to? I know how satisfying it is to get even with someone like that, trust me on that," Envy said. Nagisa had to agree on him there, but one thing they both could be thankful for was that Tirek was out of the picture for good. Still, remembering the fight, Nagisa should say something else.
"Sorry Envy, but -"
"Hell if I care, I'm just glad he's dead."
"Not that. When Tirek found me at Central, he wasn't alone. Apparently he found Gluttony and brought him along ... though, he kind of altered him a bit."
Envy immediately jumped to his feet.
"What happened to him?!" Envy demanded. Nagisa recollected himself, and sighed.
"I don't know exactly what Tirek did, but I can say this: he didn't look like a human at all. This huge, pale, mutated looking monster. He was so animalistic too, he couldn't even talk anymore," Nagisa explained, as best he could. Envy sat back down.
"... His true form."
"What?"
"His true form. Some Homunculi are able to be altered in their pure form of what they represent, and I guess Tirek forced Gluttony to become pure. ... And you had to fight him, right?" Envy asked. Nagisa quickly got himself correct.
"Well, yes, but I can assure you he's not dead. ... At least, I don't think so. He fell unconscious, and when the soldiers tried to get him, he disappeared," Nagisa explained, or at least that was what he was told. Envy wasn't sure if he should be mad at Nagisa or not for beating up his fellow Homunculus, but then again Gluttony didn't know any better in his pure form.
"Sombra must've found him. He would find Gluttony and try to fix him," Envy figured. That's when a thought struck Nagisa's head.
"Oh, Sombra, I almost forgot."
"Forgot what? Did he show up too?"
"I ... think he did? I dunno exactly, but one of his knights showed up with a message for us. Basically he's giving us a break for a while after everything," Nagisa said.
"That's sounds like Sombra alright," Envy agreed. With his fight with Pluton AND Tirek, and winning both of them, Sombra would let something like that a little pass before continuing their game. How long though, they had no idea, but Nagisa was more than glad they were getting one at all from this demon lord.
"So, you two enjoying your pep talk?" Karma suddenly chimed in, coming up in between them both.
"Wha?! how long were you listening?" Envy asked.
"Since you asked about him being a human," said Hinano. Well, guess they forgot about the others after a while. All the same, both sides felt pretty good about things at the end of it.
~~
The rest of the day felt pretty good. With demonic activity giving a break, none of them had to worry about any deadly monsters popping up this time, so the rest of the day was a breeze. For Nagisa, finding out this side of Envy was especially interesting to see. He never would've guessed that Envy, a Homunculus that was trying so hard after their heads, would one day finally join up with them and turn out so different too. It wasn't a complaint, naturally, but still very interesting to have happened while he was away. All the same, they were all just glad to be home.
Soon, day eventually turned into night, and both Aladdin and Nagisa got back home with little trouble at all, getting ready to head for bed. Getting to sleep in his own bed was something Nagisa had missed for a long time, and Aladdin decided to join him in the same bed, something Nagisa didn't mind at all.
"Well, we had quite an adventure, did we?" Nagisa asked.
"Oh yeah, you bet. I knew my time in the human world would be interesting, but in the end, that was amazing," Aladdin agreed. Both Magi and Human took some time to reminisce about how much they've done, and while indeed they've gone through a lot, Nagisa then started to think about something else important.
"Yeah. I never thought my life would be that exciting. ... Well, I'm glad things are getting back to normal. Well, goodnight, Aladdin, see you in the morning."
"Goodnight, Nagisa," Aladdin yawned, going off to sleep. Nagisa rested his head on his pillow, and took a look off outside his window. There was one final surprise for that day for him.
"Huh. The first snow. Envy and Aladdin are going to have a little gift in the morning," Nagisa thought, just before going off to sleep.
.......
"Your highness. You wanted me?"
"Yes, thank you dear. Those humans down on Earth, they're starting to become more wary of the Underworld. ... I believe its time for us to reveal as well. Starting with you."
"Me?"
"You're the brightest mind of my kingdom. I know I can count on you to help them better become aware and prepare for the future. I'd hate to find a world become wiped away due to ignorance. So go down and try to help them out anyway you can, you think you can do that for me?"
"... If that's what you want, then I shall not protest. I'll head there at once."
"Thank you."
