A list of enviable best friends, including Chief Superintendent Bald Qiang.

He wore a smug expression that said, "I'm the best."

[Xiong Er's consciousness has returned to the past.]

He discovered that he had become the way he was when he was a child.

At the same time, he also encountered a cute little dumpling who looked just like she did when she was a child.

He cried and hugged Tuanzi tightly.

[And the little dumpling gently rubbed her face against him.]

[After hugging for a while.]

Xiong Er let go of his hand.

[And Tuanzi gently kissed his cheek.]

After the kiss, Tuanzi handed the glowing stone from her head back to Xiong Er.

Furthermore, their two portraits were clearly engraved on that stone.

[After handing him the stone.]

Tuanzi smiled and turned to leave.

The world of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

"They...they kissed."

"That Miss Polar Bear, she... she actually kissed Xiong Er during their final farewell."

"Wow--"

"After going through so much hardship, to end the story with such a tender kiss..."

"This...this is too...too romantic."

As Fujiwara Chika watched the final farewell scene filled with both warmth and sorrow on the sky, she wore an extremely complex expression, one of being deeply moved yet also feeling immense heartache as she recalled the previous tragedy.

"……I see."

"The last kiss, and that glowing stone that was returned to him and engraved with their two portraits."

“It’s a ‘token’.”

"It was a unique and final 'gift' and 'promise' left to Xiong Er by that godlike creature named 'Tuanzi'."

"What a profound and sorrowful bond it is."

Kaguya Shinomiya's face displayed an expression that was full of emotion, yet also incredibly cold and rational.

"but……"

"No matter how touching their relationship is."

"And it cannot change that cruelest, irreversible reality."

"Now is not the time for Secretary Fujiwara to talk about 'romance'."

"So that Xiong Er can complete this final farewell to Tuanzi."

"That man named 'Bald Qiang' who has been risking his life to protect everyone all along."

"And then there's Xiong Da, Xiong Er's reliable older brother who's always been taking care of him."

"And those two monkeys, who were always getting into trouble, but were also just as brave..."

"They all fell into the scalding lava along with the crashing helicopter and died."

Shirogane Miyuki wore an expression filled with sadness and helplessness; he was completely unable to feel happy.

"Xiong Er used the lives of all his companions to finally exchange for these few minutes of reunion and farewell with Tuanzi."

"This ending is just...too heavy."

"……yes."

Even if you ultimately defeat the BOSS, save the world, and receive the heroine's final, loving kiss and keepsake...

"But all the other companions who had accompanied him all the way were dead."

"This kind of 'total annihilation' ending where everyone except the protagonist dies..."

"It's...it's even more despairing and painful than the most tragic Bad End."

"This kind of victory, won at the cost of everyone's death, is a lonely one..."

"It makes absolutely no sense."

Yu Ishigami, who had been hiding in the corner, revealed an expression full of despair and pain, as if he had seen through the core of all tragic stories. He felt that he needed to go home immediately and play a healing game for a hundred hours straight to barely recover.

"Dumplings."

[Bear Two shouted loudly, trying to chase after them.]

But then the camera shifts.

He reverted to his grown-up form, awoke from his coma, and collapsed to the ground.

"Bear Two, are you alright? Come on, get up quickly."

[Bear Big's caring voice rang in his ears, and he reached out his hand.]

Looking at his older brother, Xiong Er's eyes welled up with tears of emotion. He cried and hugged him tightly, saying, "Xiong Da."

He had initially thought that Xiong Da and Bald Qiang had all met with misfortune.

Now, being able to see Xiong Da again, he was naturally overjoyed and wept tears of happiness.

[Big Bear asked in confusion, "Little Bear, what's wrong with you?"]

[Bear Two cried and said, "Bear Big, please don't leave again."]

[Bear Big wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, okay, I won't leave. Bear Two, don't cry. Look at yourself! A bear should act like a bear."]

King Gigi chimed in, "That's right, Xiong Er, don't think you can get away with not working just because you're crying! Come on, let's help rebuild our home!"

Looking at his familiar, still-alive companions in the forest, Xiong Er finally broke into a happy smile: "Everyone..."

He instinctively reached out to wipe his tears, then noticed that he was tightly clutching a stone in his hand.

He glanced at the stone and noticed that his own image, and Tuanzi's, two adorable faces, were clearly engraved on it.

The World of "Mr. Amazing China"

"……no."

"Wait a minute."

"What...what's going on?"

"That guy named Xiong Da, and those two monkeys..."

"Didn't they...didn't they all fall into the lava with that plane and get blown to pieces?"

"How...how come they're all alive and kicking again, showing up here now?"

Looking at the scene on the sky filled with warmth and the joy of reunion, Wang Xiaoer revealed an expression that was extremely confused, completely illogical, and as if he had seen a ghost.

"And that stone."

"On that rock, the heads of Xiong Er and the white bear are clearly carved."

"This means that everything Xiong Er experienced in that dreamlike space of consciousness was real."

"But... but if that's real, then Xiong Da and the others' deaths should also be real."

"This...what the hell is going on?"

His face was filled with big question marks.

"……time."

"It's time."

Li Xue, standing to the side, wore a solemn expression that was equally filled with shock, yet she was trying to find a reasonable explanation from a scientific perspective.

0 ······Requesting flowers 0 ···

"The only possibility is..."

"At the moment when the polar bear finally exploded, or rather, was 'purified'."

"The immense energy she released, which we could not comprehend at all, did more than just purify the evil within herself."

"It even forcibly 'rewinded' the world's 'timeline'."

"It goes back to a safe point in time, before that tragedy happened."

"That's why those who should have died have reappeared intact."

Li Xue's face was filled with deep awe at this miraculous phenomenon, which existed only in the conjectures of theoretical physics.

...

The world of Under One Person

“…Fuck.”

"Time... has reversed?"

"That polar bear named Tuanzi, she... she actually managed to turn back time in the end?"

"This...this is beyond the category of 'extraordinary people'."

"This is the real 'power' that only the creator gods in myths and legends possess."

Zhang Chulan looked at the sky, revealing an expression of utter awe and reverence, as if he had completely given up on thinking.

"...No, Zhang Chulan."

"That is not simply 'time reversal'."

Wang Ye's face also revealed an unprecedented solemn expression, a mixture of awe and a trace of fear.

.. ..... ...

"It is a more advanced and terrifying power that we cannot understand at all."

"It is a terrifying ability to 'reset reality' that is enough to forcibly and completely erase the 'evil consequences' that have already occurred from the 'causal line'."

"She did more than just bring those who were already dead back to life."

"She completely erased the fact that they had died from the history of that world."

"This kind of power..."

Wang Ye's eyes were filled with the ultimate shock at this godlike power that could manipulate the fate of the entire world.

"...That's terrifying."

"It's really... terrifying!"

...

The World of Boonie Bears

"Big Bear".

"Jiji".

"Mao Mao".

"You...you are all still alive."

"That's...that's wonderful."

Looking at his familiar companions who were still alive, Xiong Er revealed an expression of joy that brought tears to his eyes. He hugged his brother tightly.

"Everyone……"

Bald Qiang looked at the heartwarming scene before him, then glanced into the distance at the White Bear Mountain, which, though still filled with apocalyptic scenes, was now free of lava and destruction and was slowly recovering.

A warm smile, filled with relief and a touch of emotion, appeared on his face, a smile that suggested he had survived a disaster.

In the security department's command center, after several seconds of deathly silence, all the officers suddenly erupted into a cheer filled with ecstasy, more intense than ever before.

"Survived."
