Final Chapter: Everyone Together
As I lost my balance, Orion quickly reached his hand out for me.
Orion: "OO! …be careful."
Orion slowly helped me back up, having prevented me from falling over completely.
OO: "Thank you."
Orion: "…"
Orion slowly turned his gaze on Douglas and Rosso.
Orion: "Don't get OO involved anymore in your stupidity. What are you, children?"
Orion spoke, his voice oozing anger and disgust.
Douglas: "You…!"
Rosso: "Wha…!"
Orion kicked Douglas and Rosso out towards the ocean.
Rosso: "Watch it…what're you doin'!?"
Orion: "Mediating."
Rosso: "Dammit…!"
The two teetered on the edge of the cliff, and as I thought they were about to fall…
Rosso: "You're comin' with me!"
Orion: "What…!?"
Just as he was about to fall, Rosso's hand shot out and he grabbed Orion's arm.
OO: "Orion…!?"
It happened in the blink of an eye, and the next thing I knew, I heard a loud splash.
OO: "A-are you alright…!?"
I rushed over in a panic and peered over the edge of the cliff.
And then…-
Orion: "You…"
Rosso: "Bastard! How dare you make me fall!!"
Douglas: "Oh man, but this actually feels pretty good. Hey Rosso, take your clothes off."
And so their jackets went flying up in the air…-
Douglas: "Ah, OO are you alright?"
Noticing me, Douglas waved up at me.
OO: "Yes, I'm fine."
Rosso: "Dammit Orion! You got some nerve makin' me fall like that!"
Orion: "And how dare you make me fall with you. Control yourself. Besides, I dislike that you were the one having this stupid
fight in the first place."
Rosso: "What'd you say?"
Douglas: "Aah, this is ridiculous. Just let it go, the ocean feels great today."
At Douglas' words, Rosso looked up at the sky.
Rosso: "…I guess, you're right. Hey OO! You should jump on in too!"
OO: "Eh…"
The three of them looked up at me, beaming with smiles.
Orion: "No way. You just keep saying stupid things."
Douglas: "Haha, why not? With Orion here, we don't have to worry about drowning."
Rosso: "Oh, you gonna invite us to Aquaria?"
Orion: "Other than OO, no."
Rosso: "Aah? You're so stingy."
Orion: "…! What are you doing!?"
Rosso smiled as he splashed Orion, who then angrily returned the splash.
Douglas: "Such children."
Orion: "I don't want to hear that from you!"
As I watched the three of them, I smiled and couldn't help a laugh from spilling out.
Orion: "…hey, why are you laughing?"
OO: "Sorry, I was just thinking how the three of you get along so well."
Orion: "Get along…? You need to get your eyes checked."
Douglas: "No, I guess we do. We're the kind of guys who get along the more we argue."
Rosso: "Don't say stuff like that!!"
Orion: "I agree."
Their bright voices echoed out across the wide open ocean.
