My Single Heart Beats For You

Epilogue:

The Distant Dream Finally Realized


I laid down on a towel, which was positioned on top of the sandy ground. The sun's rays beamed down on me, making my skin warm.

"Fate-mama!" Vivio's shadow appeared suddenly as she landed on top of me. As payback, I started to tickle her, and enjoyed the sound of her beautiful laughter.

"Looks like you two are having a lot of fun without me." Nanoha approached us, clad in a bathing suit, and held up three cans of juice in her arms. "I feel lonely."

"There's plenty of room for you too." Vivio and I both opened our arms out to her, she dropped the cans and tackled us.

As the three of us wrestled and played around, my phone started to ring beside me. I sighed when I saw who was calling, and answered it.

"Why are you interrupting our vacation, Shari?"

"Don't you mean honeymoon?" She teased, laughing. "I just wanted to tell you that things are running extra smoothly, we'll be ready to roll out the new machines very soon."

"Good, leave us alone now." She huffed on the other side.

"You're so cold, but that must be because you moved all the way across the world."

"Its summer here. Anyway, I'm hanging up."

"Wait, Fate-" I ended the call and turned off my phone. I sighed again, and tossed the thing aside.

"Now, where were we?" My wife and daughter then began to attack again, and double teamed me. Everything was wonderful.

Taking Hayate's advise, I decided to make some sacrifices. I asked Nanoha to marry me, but since we wouldn't be able to do it in Japan, the three of us relocated to Canada. I was still working on our permanent citizenship, but that was a problem that would be solved soon.

I wouldn't be able to run the company anymore from here, I was ready to retire anyway. I left the main operations to Shari and Signum, who I knew would be able to take care of things. I still played a role, but it was mostly just research here and there. With this, I wouldn't have to worry anymore about keeping Nanoha safe, or stay up all night thinking about the people who might try to take advantage of my vast wealth.

We lived in a modest home, in a beautiful country. We were married and a family, I couldn't ask for anything more. Nanoha was a little different. We were set for life, but she didn't want to just sit around doing nothing, so we opened a cafe. "Midoriya", named after the one that was being run by her parents in Japan, though that one has long since closed as they retired.

With this, our peaceful days would continue. There was nothing left to be worried about, and no more sacrifices to make, not anymore. Finally, I was able to obtain that silly dream that I came up with as a teenager.

I was happy at last.

Fin.
