12 The Admirer and the Sage: EpiLOLgue... er... Epilogue
by Tetra26/Batty Gal
A Few Years Later
“Everyone gather around!”
“Stand closer together!”
“Yuuri, is your camera thingie ready?”
“It's set and ready, Wolfram.”
“Hurry up and come over before it goes off, Yuu-chan!”
“Coming.”
“Everybody say Kohi!”
“Kohi!”
“That's going to make a nice wedding photo.”
“Indeed.”
“Let's get one of the happy couple by themselves.”
“Sure, why not?”
“Okay, Wolfram? Murata? Stand near that fountain over there.”
“Ah, the fountain that started it all.”
“Shut up, Yozak!”
“Alright, stand still.”
“It's kind of slippery over here...”
“Be careful, Murata.”
“I am being... whoops!”
“Murata!”
“Ken!”
“Oh no, not again!”
Three Weeks Later
The night in Shin Makoku was dark and extremely foggy.
A young maiden was running through the deserted town square, pursued by two very shady men.
She tripped, and they caught up with her. The bigger of the two grabbed her by the hair and yanked her to her feet.
“Just where do you think you're going? I'm bored, and I need some fun. You're going to give it to me, wench!” he said.
“Please, let me go!” she cried out, into the night. “You're hurting me!”
“Oh no, not until you give us a good time,” the other one remarked, and groped her breasts.
“Please, stop!”
Neither of the two men noticed the dark figure above, observing them, until its shadow cast down upon them. They looked up, and were horrified by what they saw.
It was some weird, menacing looking man-creature wearing a cape.
He spoke, his words - and accent - foreign to their ears.
“I am vengeance...” he started as they let the woman go and started to back away.
The creature pointed at her, and then pointed down the closest path, indicating that she should flee. She obliged, and ran as fast as she could.
“I am the night...” he said, his voice unnaturally gravel-like.
They stepped backwards, ready to do some fleeing of their own.
“I am...”
Their screams drowned out the rest of what he said as he swooped down on them and made them forever regret just what it was they had attempted to do.
The ghostly figure of Shinou remained out of sight, watching as the two men were delivered a sound beating by the “creature”.
“Looks like I have more entertainment coming my way,” he said, utterly amused.
Back at the castle, Gwendal paced his office, worried about all the reports of some Bat-creature running around in town and beating up criminals - while Wolfram sleepily felt around the bed and wondered where his new husband was off to at that time of night.
- End -
Author's notes: That's the end! Murata as Batman - I simply couldn't help myself. Initially I was going to make the Gwendal-Batman comparison (with the boys snickering about it back in Chapter 9), but I wanted to have Murata start doing the masked man thing in the end all over again (and Batman was more amusing to me). I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, and thanks for sticking with it to the end! I have plans for a few oneshots dealing with events prior to this story, events not explicitly expanded on that took place during this story, and events that happened after this story.
