What I arrived at through Kuro's transfer magic was the hill of the brave that I visited once today.
　Standing in front of the huge stone monument that Noin-san is said to have once left behind, Kuro turns to me and opens his mouth while smiling calmly.

'Kite-kun I really, really appreciate it.
'Oh no, I'm really glad that Black and Dr. Fea were able to make up for it.

　I immediately understood that the words of thanks announced were referring to the matter of Dr. Fea.

''Yeah.
....
'I'm really glad I did and I'm sincerely glad. You're amazing, Kaito-kun. I'm really happy to have met and become your girlfriend, Kaito-kun.

　...It's strange. Even this case was difficult and exhausting for some reason or another.
　But I thought all that fatigue was worth it when I saw Kuro's smile.
　After all, there's no difficult logic behind my actions, I just wanted to see Kuro's smile.

　Black smiled at me for a little while, and then reached out his hand towards the night sky.

'....Kuro?
Hang on a second.

　A powerful magic power that makes the air tremble is released from Black's body as he announces that one word.

''........the twilight of the stars, the memory of the world, the afterglow of a distant day......Planet Memory''
'What?　What?

　When Kuro told me in a calm voice, the scene I saw changed drastically at that moment.
　The night sky, which should have been a little overcast, suddenly turns into a starry night sky, but even if that's not the case, Kuro did this, right?　You changed the weather...?

...The Starry Skies of a Thousand Years Ago.
What, a thousand years ago?
Yeah. I'm going to interfere in the world for a little while, just for a little while.

　It's not a big deal, but that's an amazing thing... it means that the sky is the only place where time was rewound a thousand years ago, and that's what I should call it.
　In front of my astonished face, Black continued to speak while staring at the huge stone monument.

I presented Hikari with a choice.
'Options?　For Mr. Noin?
'Yes. 'I've given you a choice here: 'I'm going to go back to my world' or 'I'm going to stay in this world'.

　As I recall, according to Lilia-san, the stone monument and the Japanese sword here have a very powerful state preservation spell on them.
　And now the words you just said........maybe, but I'm sure Kuro was the one who cast that spell.......but why are you talking to me about that when you've made the sky the same starry sky as it was a thousand years ago?

　At the same time such a question comes to my mind, Black takes his gaze off the stone monument and looks at me.

The truth is..... If I wanted to, I could return Kite back to the world without having to wait for a year later.
Uh-huh.

　No surprise about it. Black is White the half of a creator god, and his power is comparable to White's, who is almost omnipotent.
　It wouldn't be surprising if he could send me back to the world I came from. But more and more I don't understand... why are we talking about this now?

Kite, you said you wouldn't ask me what to do after the hero festival. I said I wasn't going to ask you what you were going to do after the Festival of Heroes, right?　He said he respects your choice, Kite....
Uh-huh.
But can I be a little... selfish?
"Huh?

　I still haven't told Black what I'm going to do after the Festival of Heroes is over.
　No, I tried to tell him. But Black said it would be good to tell me after the Festival of Heroes was over, and he didn't want to hear it.
　It doesn't matter what choice I make. I said I would respect that and never brought up that kind of topic again.

　But now, after talking about what happens after the heroic festival is over, Black moves closer to me with a small movement of his feet.
　And while hugging me with his small body, he tells me

''........Kaito-kun. I'm not going to go back to my old world... I want to stay in this world that I love, in this world that I love, I want to be with my beloved Kaito-kun forever and ever. So, in this world ... I want you to stay by my side.
...Black.

　She's a sweetheart, and I didn't dare to talk about it until now, lest I limit my options.
　But now, Black has made it clear that he doesn't want me to go back to my home world, and frankly, I'm helplessly happy.

　I gently hug Black's body back, spinning the words as gently and reassuringly as I can.

"...Black, I actually did a favor for Shiro-san.
...for White?
'Yeah ... he wanted me to be able to 'say goodbye' to the people who helped me in the world I was in, for once.

　The request I made to Mr. White was to have him say goodbye to his aunt and uncle, who had taken care of him, by writing a letter or anything else.
　In response to that, Mr. White agreed to 'return to my former world and come back to this one'... Well, it seems that there is a final trial to be performed, but it's on the condition that you can clear it... .....

'Ka, Kite-kun........that's.......'
Yeah. I'm not going anywhere I'm going to live in this world I'm going to live my life with Black.
Kite.....
Black... well, it's, uh... 'I love you'.
'What?　Kite-kun!

　I was quite embarrassed, but when I managed to say those thoughts.......Black hugged me tightly.

'Me too!　I love you, Kite, and I'm happy, happy.
Ha, ha, ha that's kind of embarrassing.

　Black is snugly attached to me, and I tighten my hold on him, trying not to let his loving warmth slip away.
　Black looks up from his hug and smiles a truly sincere smile of happiness.

'.........Hey, Kite.....
Yeah?
I want to kiss you.
Yeah, me too...

　Under the light of the falling stars, my face and Kuro's face came close... and the distance between us became zero.

　Dear Mother, Father - Under the star-filled sky, I told Black of my choice, just like Noin-san in the past, not surprisingly. It's not that I don't have any regrets about the world I used to live in. But I've already made up my mind. I'm going to live in this world even after the Festival of Heroes is over.
