Unbelievable reward.
After that, I continued to gather love with Kurarin. Thanks to Dirk, who had arranged everything in advance, I received love from His Majesty the King, the Queen, and the Consorts at the Royal castle, as well as from my father, the Prime Minister’s office, Milfi’s father Duke Laurel, and Duke Carlisle.
To my surprise, we completed the top nobility and royalty of Christia.
Furthermore, Dirk had summoned Arc, Dan, Grandpa Tom, and the citizens, from whom we also received love.
“Hey, I’ve been waiting for you.”
And for today’s final, it was my father-in-law. However, when I was about to listen to him, Kurarin intervened.
“Rosarin and Dirurun, I have a reward for you. So, please wait. I want you to call Dirurun.”
“A reward?”
Did I do something to deserve a reward? I already got a reward from Shiva for completing my hero duties, and I can’t think of anything else.
“It’s a reward from Misty, Glasses, Muscles, and Kurarin.”
Hold on, the second half. Glasses and Muscles? Isn’t that going to make Ingens and Slengths cry?
“Huh?”
“Rosarin isn’t just Shiva’s hero. You’re also helping Kurarin gather love. So, I want to give back a lot of thanks. Rosarin is happy when Dirurun is happy, so I prepared something that will make Dirurun happy.”
“… I see.”
I steeled myself. Even though gifts from Gods other than Shiva only seem like trouble, I decided to brace myself for whatever might come and called Dirk.
“This way.”
Kurarin led us to…
“Huh? This is…”
“No way…”
It was a graveyard surrounded by roses. Once, in life, a woman had planted the roses she loved around it.
Among them, there were also roses of light.
“God Transformation☆Change!! Miracle Kurakura☆Kurarinrin☆”
A pink light wrapped around Kurarin, and her costume began to change with heart effects.
“God of Love☆Miracle Kurarin, descending☆!”
Kurarin struck a perfect pose.
“Bravo! Bravo, Kurarin!!”
I gave Kurarin a round of applause and praise. Kurarin blew me a kiss.
“Thank you, Rosarin!”
“... I’ve been wondering, but who exactly is that old man?”
“Well, a new God of Love...you know.”
My father-in-law was listening to Dirk’s explanation, his eyes looking like those of a dead fish. I understand how he feels, but Kurarin is a real god, Father-in-law.
“Love! Magic! Knowledge! Power!! God’s miracle! Grant my wish!!”
From Kurarin’s magical girl wand, pink heart-shaped light overflowed, and from the rose of light, a woman emerged.
“Ha~ what a good sleep. Huh?”
A blonde, kemonomimi beauty tilted her head. I felt like I’d seen her somewhere before. She looks like someone... not Shushu-san...
“Mom…?”
“Dija!!”
“Huh?”
Mom? Dija-san?? Huh??
“You... and Dirk? Is that you, Dirk? You’ve grown up…”
Huh? So Dija-san is Dirk’s mother?? Why is she blonde… No, more importantly... huh?? Wait, I’m super confused. Dirk’s mother, who was a black panther beastman?? Blonde hair?? No, I can’t wrap my head around this.
“Ah... it’s like a dream… to see you again…”
“Me too… I’ve always been watching over you.”
“Mom… uuu…”
The gods have given us an unbelievable gift, haven’t they!?
Did they bring a dead person back to life!? When I looked at Kurarin, she shook her head.
“She was loved by the roses, so she became a Spirit of the Roses of Light. I accelerated her rebirth and let her keep her memories from when she was alive, but only for a limited time… as long as Dirurun’s father is alive. Rosarin, are you happy?”
Seeing Dirk, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law crying with joy, I naturally smiled at the sight of this happy family.
“… Thank you. It was a truly wonderful gift. Please thank Misty and the others as well.”
I sincerely thanked the Gods and smiled at Kurarin.
“Ufufu, I also got some love.”
“When did you?”
Kurarin, you’re so sly.
“But is this okay? Bringing someone’s rebirth forward, is that even allowed?”
I feel like it’s definitely not okay, but is this alright? Plus, retaining memories... isn’t that basically resurrecting someone?
“It’s fine. Besides, Rosarin, you shouldn’t be saying that.”
“Huh?”
“Rosarin’s mom, the Hero, Sui, Haru, Arisa, Haku, Lavitan, Yunyun... countless people from Wolfanea... and everyone around the world… any recollection?”
“I might, but I don’t!!”
“They’re the lives Rosarin saved.”
“Gah!?”
I kind of suspected that! But I didn’t want to hear it!
“Rosarin saved the world. This kind of gift… if anything, it’s not enough.”
“No, it’s more than enough. Dirk is happy, after all.”
“That’s what’s so nice about you, Rosarin.”
“Huh?”
“Rosarin!”
Ah, Dirk is calling me.
“Rosarin, let’s finish collecting love for today. I think Dirurun and the others would like some family time together.”
“That’s true. Well then, Kurarin, see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Kurarin flew away. Then, Dirk called out to me again with a big smile.
“Rosarin! Come here! I want to introduce you to my mother! Mom, this is my wife, Rosarin.”
“Nice to meet you, Mother-in-law. I’m Rosarin Burton.”
“Oh my, what a lovely young lady! For Dirk, who was rejected by his first love for being creepy, to have such a cute wife…!”
Mother-in-law, Dirk is tearing up, so please stop with that story. I ended up getting hugged too. I thought she looked like someone, and it turns out she looks just like Dirk. I didn’t realize right away because of her blonde hair.
“I’ve been watching over you, but there’s still so much I don’t know. Please tell me everything that happened while I wasn’t here.”
And so, Dija-san was resurrected, and the butler and everyone else were crying with joy. As a result, Marquis Burton’s residence became very lively.
