Epilogue

Seven years has passed since then.

Since class 3-E graduated and the whole chapter of Koro came to an end.

As their deadline for the assassination task came nearer, the government informed the citizens of the danger the world were facing, as a result of which Koro was quarantined in their school. And as per instructions, they decided to fire a laser and kill him before the time arrived.

But no, the students were training for so long, they couldn't let it happen. They found their way in before the laser was shot.

And as for Koro, it wasn't so painful for him. He died peacefully surrounded by his students.

But that was not the case for the kids. They had to carry this burden for their whole life. In a way, they were all happy that their teacher died in the most peaceful way possible.

"I am late Rio," Y/N huffed taking long strides along the familiar path. The voice of her best friend came in her ears, as she tried to keep calm.

"Well, don't worry about it!" Rio paused, "I might be far away, but I can always take a flight and-"

"No, you don't have to. You have work...just like so many of our friends," Y/N stopped and looked at the disheveled state of the building and the ground around it. It brought back memories; a nostalgic feeling surrounded her.

"Come on, it's his joining day. You can't be pissed at him," Rio's voice snapped her out of the pleasant feeling.

"I'm not! I get it how important it is for him. It's just that I have to handle all the other work while he's figuring his work out," Y/N sighed, smiling, "Anyways, I'm here. I just...wish you guys were here too."

"Okay! Send me pictures! Bye!"

Y/N put her phone in her pockets and took in the scenery. She noticed Kayano looking closely at the flower garden. She was wearing her costume, and looked like she came directly from a film shooting. Just as she was about to call her, she heard the familiar voices, "Yo, we have a celebrity!" Everybody joined and talked to each other for a while.

"Okay people, let's clean this place up!" Isogai said.

"Yup, class president till the end huh?" Kataoka chuckled.

"Hey now, you're the ones who wanted me to hold on to the keys," he defended himself.

_____________________________________________

Class 3-E was a memorial to visit for them. They came back every year and clean the place up, spend some time together and reminisce their old days. Koro's lessons stayed with them, and well he would be proud of all of them, for sure.

"How are you doing Y/N? Heard you often get summoned by Karasuma sensei in special cases," Isogai asked, when they were taking a break after their work.

"Not often, but yeah sometimes. Being a psychiatrist is useful in some cases when the police needs to understand the mind of a victim or perpetrator."

"And Karma? I mean...you are living together right?"

"Wha-" Y/N blushed and gaped at her friends laughing faces, "J-Just so you know, we were about to tell you."

"Oh yeah sure. But...aren't you going to be in danger with the line of work he's pursuing? It's going to be hard for you."

"I didn't get into a relationship with him because it was easy you know. I mean...I want to be a part of it all, even when his back hits the wall, I'll be there for him."

Maehara sighed and joked, "So I've still got no chance?"

"Okay, NOW it feels like we're back in school," Y/N said, as everybody started laughing.

"All right, I brought beer!" Okajima said passing the drinks.

"Oh yeah! I need some, it's too hot." Mimura said.

"Uh..I think I'll skip mine," Y/N said.

"...Why?" Isogai asked.

"I have to drive home."

"No you don't. I saw your driver parking the car down the road."

Y/N blushed and looked at her friends in silence.

"Don't tell me...are you?" Kayano asked.

"I'm not sure yet but the results gonna come out today," Y/N chuckled.

"Honestly it would be weirder if you weren't after spending so much time with a guy like Karma," Maehara laughed as she shoved him playfully, trying her best to hide her blush.

"This isn't the news I was about to give you though," Y/N smiled.

"Holy shit, you've got more?!" Okajima laughed.

"Yeah...well.."

He put his keys on the table and put the music on, sitting down. Opening his laptop, he went through his emails and found a familiar name. The name of his first friend ever. He clicked on it and a video popped up as her voice came through.

"How do I look? Yeah, I put on a pretty dress too." she chuckled, "Don't laugh bastard!"

She slowly walked towards the camera and said, "I'm sending you this video in a pretty little dress....so that you little bitch finally start missing me...and come to my wedding!" She sat down on a chair and showed him the ring on her finger.

"Yeah dude, I'm getting married! And I've got all the plans in my head - you know, destination wedding and all. Can't believe it? Well, me neither!" She chuckled and sighed, now looking serious, "Look, I know that you're reaallly busy, a lot of big stuff is going on with you and you're bloody cool..but.." she smiled at the camera, almost as if he was there in person, her eyes were sparkling with the same happiness he witnessed back in school.

"..please come over? I'm getting mad with all the work over here," she chuckled and rested her back on the chair, "We grew up too fast, didn't we? Okay, bye...hopefully I'll see you."

Gakushu leaned back on the sofa and sighed. Well, it was good to see her finally getting in touch after all these busy months. He scrolled down the email and saw the details of the date he should arrive.

He can take some days off from being a businessman for an old friend.

Y/N sighed tiredly and walked in her house - their house. She noticed the lights turned on and Karma sitting quietly, unmoving on the sofa.

"...Karma?" she chuckled and kept her bag on the table, "You arrived early for someone's first day of work."

"It was just the inaugural ceremony today. A celebration for all the newcomers. I had the chance so I came early to spend time with you," he answered, still not turning back.

"Hey...are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced in concern.

He got up from the sofa and turned around, a piece of paper in his hand, "Is this..true?"

Y/N stared at him confused about his question, but Karma cleared it up quickly by asking her another question, "Are you pregnant?"

She blushed and rushed towards him, looking at the logo on the paper. Yes, it was the medical test results she was about to get today. And by his reaction, she knew what the results were. But she was afraid to ask.

"Yeah...I..are you okay...with.."

Karma smiled and took short excited breaths, and held her shoulder, "I feel amazing! This is great news! There's gonna be a little one - half of me and half of you!" He hugged her as she sighed in relief and hugged him back.

"You scared me," she chuckled, pulling back, "But...isn't this bad for your reputation? I mean before our marriage-"

"No? I am having a baby with the love of my life!" he laughed, "I promise I'll be there for both you - whenever you need me. I won't abandon you because of my work."

Y/N held his face with both of her hands and smiled, "I know you won't Karma."

He chuckled, almost tearing up and pulled her close, holding her waist "God our child is gonna be handful."

Y/N laughed, "Yeah, with both of our genes combined? Ofcourse."

He kissed her forehead in adoration and looked at her face, slowly his smile coming off. "Wait," he said, "So sex is limited now?"

Y/N teasingly leaned close to his face and kissed him, "We have time left baby."

Karma immediately picked her up and rushed in their bedroom.
