Fortune Festival's Happy Illusion Epilogue Part 2

We tune in with the PA system at the festival thanking everyone for coming to the festival in Little Tir na Nog in the Tokyo Casino. All programs have ended safely and all booth shops have closed up by this point, and there is currently a direct service line going back up that people are asked to use when leaving.

 

Scene shifts over to wherever Balor is hanging around as Tezcatlipoca asks what he thought about the showed that was set up For Him. Balor is surprised as he asks if that third rate show was what Tezcatlipoca wants to show him, and Tezcatlipoca comments that he thought Balor would like it. He set the thing up under the idea that there was more to Balor's relationship to his grandchild beyond 'killing each other until one of them is dead.'

 

Balor asks Tezcatlipoca what he'd think if he told him about that. Tezcatlipoca responds by laughing and says he'd Laugh Madly at that, which amuses Balor as he calls him horrible and likes it so much he wants to kill him with his own hands. But when the time comes when Tezcatlipoca kicks the bucket, Balor says he'll go offer him some flowers in the same way. Nothing is indestructible, but he comments that the other Representatives probably don't know that. The two of them laugh for a bit up until Balor decides it's time he got around to asking about Tezcatlipoca's appearance, and the camera reveals Tezcatlipoca showed up in his doll body.

 

Camera then jumps over to your end of things as Shirou reminds people to not forget about any of their things since they'll all be leaving once the prep is all done. Kengo complains about feeling restless and wishes that the festival could have lasted another month. Shirou laughs and says Kengo hasn't changed much since before he got into elementary school. Kengo gets embarrassed at that and says Shirou has always been nodding along obediently since back then too.

 

Hanuman is getting sleepy from playing so much and wonders if he can go sleep at Tsathoggua's place. Moritaka remembers that Hanuman isn't a Shinjuku student, so he asks if it's okay for him to leave with you guys. R-19 brings up a log of a talk he had with Shirou earlier and reads off that the plan is to spend the night at a safe house and go home the next day. Touji is surprised about the daytime detail and asks if he's planning on slacking off.

 

Agyou is carefully putting the goldfish away and says it'd be a problem if he spilled the thing. Kijimuna laughs and says it was a lot of fun, then says he'll take care of his yukata. An Evil is poking the water balloon it has. Shirou stares at you for a bit before he catches himself doing so and apologizes to you for it. He says he got this feeling that you look a bit more mature. Shirou then talks a bit about how a lot's happened over the festival and how these experiences will help you all become adults, but his train of thought is derailed by a clicking sound.

 

Kengo complains at Ryouta telling him to stop taking pictures and start helping with packing. And to change out while he's at it. You sigh at Ryouta but say you understand how he feels, or you make a shutter sound with your mouth. A and B has Ryouta apologize saying he was feeling a bit sad at leaving, then says he'll go change. In C, Ryouta freaks out thinking you're taking a picture of him and is embarrassed at the idea until you tell him you were joking. But you do tell him you really will take a picture if he doesn't get to changing. He quickly moves to do so.

 

Some time later, Xolotl calls over to the party saying the bus is here to pick you guys up. Shirou thanks him and expresses surprise you guys would be lent a bus for your trip home too. Hakumen tells him he doesn't need to mind that as she says she'd never have her beloved lord get caught up in the go home rush. She also gives you guys some gold leaf versions of Tir na Nog's manjuu and asks you to have some on the ride back. Xolotl talks about how you guys have more stuff after the festival is over and how taking the bus means that the goldfish will be okay. He hopes that they'll always be able to swim, which impresses Agyou.

 

Li Chou runs over looking for you, thanking you for your work and asking about you guys going back to Shinjuku. You either say his name as you greet him or thank him for his work too. Li says things have ended perfectly with the festival. While a bunch of stuff may have happened, it's been a big success. All the Umamichi students are getting ready to leave, so Li decided to come over to talk to you before they go. Speaking of, he starts telling Hanuman to come with him until he notices that he's asleep, so he drops the issue.

 

Ryouta notices that Li Chou is there, then thanks him for his efforts and asks him to show his goldfish scooping skills again sometime. Li agrees, saying next time will be even more amazing as he'll showcase his three fish scoop technique. Agyou waves bye to Li and says the fish will be bigger the next time he sees him. Li tells him to do his best in raising them as he says he'll see him later. Li then talks to himself about how sad it is to say goodbye at festivals, reminding himself that there's a next time, then claims he isn't crying. You then remember about the happy power and wonder what happened with all that.

 

Li Chou remembers about that too, then tells you all the happis were collected. In the end, there's a ton of the coats piled up. Tezcatlipoca laughs from somewhere saying he's happy and asking if you were worrying for him. You recognize Tezcatlipoca's voice and turn to congratulate him on his new body, only to stop when you notice that he's in his doll body instead. Kengo is baffled at this and at Tezcatlipoca laughing so loudly while in it.

 

Tanetomo walks over with some of the other Warmongers in Tezcatlipoca's group, talking about how free-spirited Tezcatlipoca is. He pushed his new body so hard that it needed to be overhauled. Tiger Man however says he expected as much because he wouldn't be shining otherwise. Yasuyori thanks everyone for their kindness over the event and is thankful for the fun times he had with his Yoyogi friends. You say you had fun too and ask them to look after Tezcatlipoca.

 

Tezcatlipoca tells you that you don't need to worry about his artificial body. Now that he knows what its limits are, the appropriate repairs can be done. He tells you to have great expectations for his mk 2 body the next time you see him, so you should stay healthy until then as he refers to you as his brother, friend, and rival. You either nod and say he should stay healthy too or ask if you can pat him one more time. A and B has Tezcatlipoca ask you to stop making the face you're making since he'd like to go to war with you when you're energetic. In C, Tezcatlipoca agrees and tells you to go ahead as his fanciness and fluff will last forever.

 

In any case Tezcatlipoca remembers one more thing to tell you about regarding the happy power. Tvastar walks in and says it was a pain to get it all together, but he assures you that what's left can be used without any problems. You either say Tvastar's name or say you aren't comforted at all. Tvastar laughs and asks if you were surprised to see him, then turns to Vritra and says he won't skip out on greeting people. He then asks you to stop looking at him like that.

 

Ryouta asks Tvastar what he plans to do after this and if he'll go on a trip with Vritra again. Tvastar nods saying he's still in the middle of making memories with Vritra, so Shirou asks him to call in every so often. There are people who think of him, even if they aren't worried about him. Tvastar agrees to the point, so he says that when he decides where he'll go next he'll swing by Kamata first to tell them where he's going. Ryouta waves them goodbye, then laughs as Vritra licks him.

 

Furufumi runs up to you guys, then says he's glad he made it before you all left. You say his name or thank him for all he's done. Furufumi says you've done good work too, and he has something for you. It takes a moment for him to find it since he's bought so many other books, but he eventually finds that book he wanted to hand over. He's fixed it up a bit, but it is kind of messy since it was a rush job. You recognize the book, and Furufumi says it's that book of magic tricks you wanted. There's also some damage, but it's readable.

 

Ryouta takes interest in the book and asks if you're going to do a magic trick show too. Mononobe turns up laughing and saying he wants to see you do that the next time a break comes up. You take note of his presence and ask if he's going back now too. Mononobe answers that he is going back since the festival is over now, and he hopes you all did your homework. He'll be going back with the teachers in Ziz's car, and he tells you all to be careful since it's late. Mononobe then addresses Xolotl, introducing himself as your teacher and thanks him for driving you guys. Xolotl says he'll do his best to take care of you guys. Ryouta says Cait Sith is the last one left but he hasn't seen him anywhere, and you notice you have a new message.

 

Scene shifts to Solomon, who is sad by himself as he talks about how it's time to go while he's sitting in the bus. A voice calls to him, and he looks to see Cait Sith there who says he came to see him first. You come in too and apologize for keeping him waiting, saying he needs to talk to people before it's all over since since he's one of your friends too. Solomon is touched you guys came, then acts haughty for a bit saying he isn't lonely since he's used to being by himself. His facade breaks into tears moments later as he says he'll come back again since he doesn't want to be forgotten. Cait Sith starts crying too as he says he doesn't want you two to leave either. You comment on them hugging each other and crying before telling Solomon about the book you got.

 

Solomon sniffs for a bit before he looks, then recognizes the book. Cait Sith recognizes it too as he reacts in surprise, and Solomon tells him he thought about learning magic before asking what he'd do if he became better at tricks than he is. Cait Sith asks Solomon if he's going to try learning magic tricks, and you either say he was the impetus that motivated Solomon to try, say he thought about after seeing Cait Sith's tricks, or say he gave him a dream. Cait Sith is surprised quiet for a second, then says he recommends that book and has faith Solomon can pull them off well. He asks Solomon to promise to show him them next time they meet, and Solomon agrees.

 

Some time later, everyone is on the bus and the PA system in the elevator announces that you guys will reach the surface level entrance soon. The announcer says they'll be waiting for your next return and wishes you safety in returning home before signing off with a ciao, and narration describes how Hakumen's special message echoes inside the elevator. Cait Sith also has a goodbye speech put together that he makes, asking if people enjoyed the dream. He talks about how magic tricks are illusions which cannot change the world, but if they allowed his audience to change something after seeing it, then he'll be happy. He hopes you'll come back again, because as a magician he wants to see everyone smile. He says his goodbyes, and so the festival and vacation come to a close.

 

Several days later, Ryouta is hanging around on the school roof going over the the pictures he took over the course of the festival. He talks about needing to send them to everyone else, and he looks at a picture of the goldfish scooping game and the shooting gallery. He then thinks about all the memories he made with everyone along the way, then gets depressed for a second as he notes that he's not in any of the pictures. But then again he was the one taking these pictures and all, and you walk in at this point and say you've found him.

 

Ryouta is shocked to see you and the gang there for a sec, but then laughs about how late you all are and talks about how he was going over the photos he took. Shirou stops him and says they need to talk about something before he goes on. Ryouta is curious but says he'll send over his pictures now, and the gang counts off before you all send him some something. Solomon uses something he calls his special magic (trick I guess), and Ryouta is surprised by a sudden influx of data going to his phone.

 

Touji explains that you noticed earlier and had everyone in the gang take pictures in secret too. Moritaka asks Ryouta to look at one of his pictures since he thinks it came out well. Shirou says Ryouta was taking pictures of them, so thanks to that everyone was able to take some good shots. Solomon brags to you that he's a certified Rank 3 Photographer, so his came out the best. Ryouta is surprised since he thought he was the only one taking pictures, so you tell him he wasn't the only one who wanted to make memories. Everyone did. Ryouta is touched, and he leaps at the gang yelling that he loves you all. Everyone is surprised by this move, and everyone's laughs start to blend together underneath the sky of Tokyo. The End.
