Reincarnation Of Diva (Oshi No Ko X Uta From One Piece Film Red)

Epilogue

Ruby opens her eyes slowly. Weirdly, she doesn't really remember if she fell asleep or just closing her eyes. Also, the tiredness that stuck with her after the performance from before is also gone like she remembers she feels a little tired but keeps pushing herself to watch Merry's performance next.

"Ruby? Let's go. Everyone is starting to leave." Said Mem-Cho who already stands up and stares at Ruby who doesn't know how to react.

Infact, when Ruby looks around, all the audience start to leave the venue that now has some lights turn on. She looks back at the stage and Merry isn't there either. Did she already leave? Ruby doesn't remember Merry walks out the stage either. Just...a sight of Merry puts on a sad smile. Isn't just that. Ruby also remembers the performance that has a lot of things happening around her. It still fresh inside her mind as it's very hard not to remember it at all. Especially when she feels like she can sees Ai...and her doctor from past life.. Gorou-sensei. Definitely an unforgettable experience for her.

Merry is really on another level. Will she become just like Merry if she keeps going on?

"Ruby." Aqua called her out. Ruby breaks her thought and quickly stands up to leave the venue as others start to leave her behind. She took one last glance at the stage before finally step out of the venue.

"Hahhh...I am beat." Merry sits on the seat that got prepared by Yumera who seems very proud of Merry. She brings a cold drink and hands it to Merry with a wide smile.

"That was good, Merry! It's like your second performance before but much more colourful this time!" Said Yumera as she motions everything. Merry giggles at seeing Yumera's reaction.

"Who's team did you hire? Those flying things and sparkles look very real and just..wow." Said Yumera excitedly as she goes on and on about how amazing everything are.

"It will break the fun if you know how the 'team' make those things." Said Merry as she takes another sip of the cold drink. No one need to know that she's the one who's controlling everything anyway.

"Guess I can forgive you for being late..." Said Yumera as a smile forms on her face. Merry turns to Yumera happily. She thought Yumera not gonna forgive her for that. Guess, it's all worth it after all!

"Better be hurry. Miyako-san is waiting in the van you know." Said Yumera as she walks away to take Merry's clothes for Merry to change later. Merry answers Yumera back and leans on the seat comfortably.

'I hope no one suspicious anything!'

Walking towards a van that was parked just outside the exit, Merry stretches her hands a bit and opens the van's door, revealing everyone that had already waiting for her.

"Nee-san!" Ruby waves at Merry energetically as she happily greets Merry.

"Oooo the star already here!" Mem-Cho teases Merry that meet with Merry's smile. They both seem to have more energy even after all the sweats they had put on their own performance. That is Merry's doing after all.

"Don't praise me too much, Mem-Cho." Said Merry as she walks inside the van and looking for empty seat. The only available space is beside Aqua who seems to give a stare at Merry that fills with question and suspicions. Is there no other seat other than here?

Merry sits on her seat and immediately let out a sigh as she leans on it. Now...she can take more break and sleep peacefully. Merry looks who is sitting in front of her and it's Kana who is awfully quiet the whole time. Did she still feel tired? Merry just guessed it.
