Epilogue
"Rosette! Hurry up!" Chrno shouted as he waited for his wife at the edge of Eden with everyone else. Reichu, Attara. Akit, Feira. Kaitra, Ayu, Athrilmaru and Zenku were there too. Along with Rizel, Jinai, Vid, Aion and Sheda. Kaitra and Athrilmaru had finally gotten together and so did Akit and Feira. It took a little longer for Reichu and Attara because of their different personalities clashed too much. Even Sheda and Zenku and Rizel and Jenai managed to get together.
"Coming!" the blond haired devil exclaimed as she ran towards the others. Her stomach was swelling, showing everyone that she was pregnant. "I'm sorry," she apologized.
"It's okay, but we should get going before we're too late," Feira answered. Rosette nodded and joined the others. Aion quickly snapped his fingers and they were transported to the area that was their destination…the Old Magdalan Church, which was now called the Crusaders Order since the building changed ownership.
"Rosette!" Azmaria and Joshua yelled as they ran towards her, but before they got the chance to hug her, Chrno stepped in front of them, blocking their path of jumping his mate.
"What's wrong?" Azmaria asked Chrno.
"Take a good look and you'll find your answer," he replied with a smirked on his face. Azmaria and Joshua closely examined the blond haired and blue-eyed devil. They both noticed how much her stomach had swelled since the last time they had seen each other.
"You're pregnant!" Joshua shouted. Rosette nodded her head happily. "I'm going to be an uncle!" he exclaimed as he grabbed Azmaria's hand and dragged her back into the church to go tell the others.
"He's energetic…" Attara stated as she watched them disappear.
"Well, that's because you're here," Satella answered as she walked towards them. Fiore was at her side like always and she still had the same expressionless look on her face.
"Satella! How are things going?" Chrno asked.
"Okay, I guess. Everything had been going much better since you last visited," Satella explained.
"That's good. We're just here to spend the day with everyone.
"It's been a long time since we gathered together," Aion answered. Everyone waited in front of the church until Sister Kate, Remington, Azmaria, and Joshua came back outside.
"Welcome back," Remington greeted. Sister Kate just gave a small incline of her head to show her greeting.
"Thanks. We were just all wondering if you guys could hang out around the city, since Reichu and the others have never been into the city, we decided to show them around. The whole 'kill every demon in sight' incident has finally blown over so we can finally walk around the city. We'll have to use our humanoid forms because I don't think that people will like the sight of someone walking around with cat ears and a big fluffy tails. Want to come?" Rosette asked.
"Sorry. I have too much paperwork to do. Maybe Remington can go?" Sister Kate responded.
"Can't either. Have too many duties to perform. Many newbies have entered the order and it's my job to train them, no matter how stubborn or hopeless they are," Remington answered.
"Cab you at least let Azmaria and Joshua come?" Rosette begged. Sister Kate smiled and nodded her head.
"Yeah!" Joshua and Azmaria cheered.
"Let's go then," Chrno stated as he started to walk towards the gates of the order. Everyone quickly said their goodbyes and followed Chrno out of the courtyard. They spent the whole day showing the cat and dog demons the city and having fun until the end of the day. When night fell, Azmaria and Joshua returned to the Order, feeling exhausted.
After bringing the younger children home, Rosette and the others headed back towards Eden. Once they reached the floating fortress, the group split up, leaving Rosette and Chrno alone. They both walked to the edge of Eden and sat down. Rosette lifted her head and gazed at the stars in the darkened sky dreamily.
"It's so beautiful," Rosette stated as she observed the sky.
"It is," Chrno agreed. Rosette slowly leaned her head onto his shoulder, a deep red blush on her cheeks.
"I'm so happy that the war is over. It's so peaceful now. No more arrogant devils bastards to steal away my brother, no more idiotic and obsessive church leaders that hate devils and so on…" Rosette complained. Chrno couldn't help but laugh at his wife's tone. It sounded mischievous and angry at the same time.
"What's so funny!" she snapped firmly as she put a pout on her face.
"It's nothing," he stated as he regained his composure. Rosette glared at him and sighed.
"Whatever," she mumbled. They both returned to watching the stars. They stayed like that for a few minutes."
Suddenly a shooting star passed quickly in the sky. Rosette quickly nudged Chrno in his side and clasped her hands together.
"Make a wish!" she exclaimed as she closed her eyes. "I wish for everlasting happiness and peace and for a healthy child," she wished. Chrno did the same thing and clasped his hands, while closing his eyes.
"I wish to keep the things I hold dear close to my heart in a healthy condition," he wished. They both opened their eyes and looked at each other lovingly.
Rosette put her head on Chrno shoulder.
"I love you, Chrno," she whispered sweetly into his ear.
"I love you too," Chrno answered.
The both sat on the edge of Eden and continued to star gaze. They just sat there, enjoying the peaceful moments that they were given together.
