The final chapter is here where the last few sections get to be wrapped up before ending the story.

Peaceful Aftermath

One Week Later...

A week had passed since the Moon Demon was defeated for good and word had spread far and wide across the galaxy.

BGM: Nekopara Vol. 1 - Neko To Sanpo

When we had returned to Transbaal, we were greeted by a large crowd who gave me and the crew thunderous cheers when I stepped out. Me and the six girls were escorted to the Throne room where Empress Shiva along with Shatyarn, Noah and Tact were waiting. I still remember the words that Shiva gave on that day.

"These are the Transbaal Imperial Medal of Honours." She said. "Each of you members of the Angel Wing are awarded with these. Wear them with pride." One by one, we each earned a medal put around our necks. "However for commander Arnold, we have one additional honour for you." She picked up a golden medal. "This is the medal that was originally forged by Lost Technology and it was given to Admiral Luft a long time ago. Because of your success in defeating our greatest foe ever, I bestow this upon you, wear it with extreme pride and take great care of it."

I was given my second medal and we all bowed in respect. Behind me were Alexander and Galarian who also received honours for all their assistance and hard work, whilst both of the allied fleets were given commitment badges. Afterwards, Alexander and Galarian came with an idea to send Alexander home and that was where my unique appearance came in. Using Galarian's Val-Fasc abilities, Alexander separated the ultra power of my soul, leaving just my normal soul.

The next day when I recovered, he used it to compose a spell which opened a portal and he smiled, because that led the way to his original home.

"Farewell, Arnold...thank you for this...and goodbye. I will never forget my time in this galaxy..." He said before he walked through the portal and it closed behind him.

Then later on, Galarian said that he had to go back to his homeworld of Val-Vaross since his work with us was done, but he promised to one day see us again.

Well since that week, things had finally settled down and the Elsior was lively once again with me as commander as always. I was doing my patrol and I overheard the following things that were happening. It began in the firing range with Forte who was back to her target practice and I just finished.

"Very good, Arnold." Forte praised. "How better have you gotten?"

"I'd say quite well." I replied. "I could go on and brag but-"

"Yeah, yeah, go on you...feel free to come back for more some time."

I smiled and left, next I past the hanger and overheard Creta and her team.

"Come on everyone, these frames aren't gonna clean themselves." Creta said happily.

One of the engineers sighed. "I'm glad the frames are back, but why are we doing this?"

"Because the Angel Wing are getting their long relaxation." Another worker replied.

"Ugh...I wish I had a vacation."

The next thing happened in the infirmary.

"Mmmm, your coffee brewing is still the best, Vanilla." Cera praised.

"Thank you." Vanilla replied. "Excuse me, it's time for the space bunnies."

"He he, go on."

Vanilla left and rushed to the Whale Room and seconds later, I took a peek inside.

"Here you go, space bunnies." Kuromie said as he and Vanilla handed out food to them.

I smiled and took a peak into the gym and Ranpha was back to doing her martial arts, but she wasn't alone.

"What are you waiting for, Milfie?" Ranpha asked. "Get on that bike."

"Awww, why am I doing this again?" Milfie asked in response.

"Ugh, you're the one who wanted to lose some weight, so stop complaining."

Milfie pouted. "You meanie..."

I had to laugh a little, those two won't ever change. I left the area and walked up to the tea lounge.

"This rich tea is wonderful." Chitose said. "How did the Elsior order something this expensive?"

"Actually, it was out of Arnold's money." Mint replied. "He had loads spare when he and Milfie came back from the casino that they told me."

"What?!" Chitose gasped. "But they were in the military, how were they able to gamble without being caught?"

"It was probably due to Milfie's luck, but let's not go over the details, let us enjoy this rich tea and this expensive candy."

"Yes...you may be right."

I gulped...I just hope Mint doesn't start going into my allowance...remind me to never leave my card lying around again.

As for me, not much had changed on my end, I was really happy with where I was now.

End of BGM

Or so I thought when I got a call the next day. "Hello?"

"Arnold, it's Tact." He replied. "Could you and the Moon Angel Wing meet me outside the Elsior, it's somewhat important?"

"Sure thing." I made a call. "Girls, Tact needs to see us outside, be there quickly."

I walked out of the Elsior and then the six girls followed, standing behind me.

"Thanks for coming." Tact said. "I received these from a seller who wanted to remain as anonymous and they're yours."

He handed us a ticket each and I read it and my eyes opened wide.

"Woohoo!" Ranpha exclaimed. "A holiday spa report? Sign me up!"

"Me too!" Milfie added.

"Oh my, that's exciting." Chitose agreed.

"Well that's not really my thing." Forte said. "But I guess I can lower my resistance down and soak it up."

"Remember to bring along suntan lotion." Vanilla lightly warned.

"And spare bags of sweets, you never know when you might need them." Mint added.

I rolled my eyes, these typical girls...but it's fine, I love them all in their own way.

"So what did this ticket giver look like?" I asked.

"Well she was dressed in a red dress with a small armour plating on the front...oh and she had a blue bird that looked weird." He replied.

"A blue bird...I think I get what you mean. Well anyways, thanks for giving us these, we'll definitely have a good time."

BGM: Huniepop OST - Water Park

Some time later, we were at the holiday spa resort and I was sitting by the huge pool with the sunlit sky beaming down on us. I was drinking a cocktail and I had a bottled water for just in case. I watched over the six girls in their swimsuits, enjoying the fun, it was worth taking a picture for, but photos will have to wait for later.

I laid back on the summer desk chair with the bug umbrella covering my upper chest and head. I looked very cool with shades, you know...

I feel incredibly lucky...no I AM the most incredible and luckiest man alive in the galaxy. The memories of those tragic scars were still in the back of my mind, but the wonderful and joyful moments like this were all helping in making that bad thoughts fade away. I have so much to thank Alexander for what he did. At first I didn't like him, but then he became a powerful ally and I considered to be his first human friend.

As I think into the future, I do wonder...will there be another kind of enemy that arrives from another dimension or maybe another universe, the multi-verse theory was proven right after all, so it may be possible. Perhaps there's many versions of me...naaaaah, I don't have time to ponder talking to many different versions of me.

"Arnold, we need a man for our next game." Mint called.

"Come and join us in the pool, it's so warm and cool." Milfie added.

"You can't sit there all day, get in here." Ranpha remarked.

"I wonder if you can hold a woman while in a pool." Forte laughed.

"Don't be shy, but be careful with us." Vanilla said.

"You deserve to have fun with us too." Chitose agreed.

I laughed as I got up from the desk chair. "Alright girls, I'm coming!"

End Of BGM

This is what I should focus on, the here and now where nearly every day is like this, peaceful yet lively and these girls will always be with me, every step of the way.

For the sake of them and for the sake of the lives around the galaxy, hear this...when I see you smile, I will always protect those for all...my...life!
