The sun shone with unusual warmth for that time of year, as if the sky itself wanted to join the celebration. Ren, Aiko, Ayame, Kiko and Yumi were in a forest clearing, surrounded by ancient trees and wildflowers. They had spread a blanket on the grass and arranged a basket full of delicacies: onigiri filled with salmon and plum, vegetable tempura, dorayaki with sweet beans, and aromatic green tea.An atmosphere of tranquility and joy reigned in the air. Aiko's laughter resonated with an intensity that Ren had not heard in a long time. Seeing his sister happy and recovered filled his heart with deep gratitude."It's amazing to be here with all of you," Aiko said with a smile as she took a dorayaki. "I never imagined that a world like this existed.""And we never imagined we would meet two such brave humans," Kiko replied enthusiastically. "You have shown that friendship can overcome any barrier, even between different worlds."Ayame, with her usual serenity, observed the scene with a slight smile. "We have lived many adventures together," she said. "And although Ren and Aiko must return to their world, I know that our bonds will remain strong."Yumi nodded. "We will always be connected, no matter the distance."A flashback invaded Ren's mind: the night he and Aiko were attacked by the yokai, the fear he felt seeing his sister in danger, the despair at not being able to protect her... And then, the arrival of Ayame, Kiko and Yumi, like a ray of hope in the darkness. He remembered the battle against the Tengu, the search for the amulet, the fight against the Master of Shadows... Each memory was a testament to the strength of their friendship.Ren realized how much he had changed since arriving in the yokai world. He had discovered a courage he didn't know he possessed, learned to trust others, and found a place where he truly belonged."What will you do when you return to your world?" Yumi asked curiously."First, I need to make sure Aiko makes a full recovery," Ren replied. "Then, we'll go back to school and try to lead a normal life... although I know nothing will ever be the same."A flicker of sadness crossed his eyes. "We will miss this world and all of you."As evening fell, the sky was tinged with reddish and orange hues. The five friends hugged tightly, promising that they would meet again someday."We will be back," Ren whispered in Kiko's ear as he held her close. "I promise."With a heart full of hope and nostalgia, Ren and Aiko said goodbye to their friends and prepared to return to the human world. A new chapter was opening in their lives, a chapter full of uncertainties, but also with the certainty that the friendship and love they had found in the yokai world would always be with them.
