NOVEL WEB Chapter 23: The End of the Full Moon Night
The Success of the Ritual and Its Aftermath
Loki (Satoru) and his companions overcame Zeus’s interference and successfully completed the ritual. However, they soon realized that the night of the full moon was drawing to a close.
“With this, we can apply the knowledge we’ve gained in the other world to the real world,” Loki said with confidence.
“But we’re running out of time. The full moon is fading,” Minerva (Tomomi) said anxiously, glancing up at the sky.
“We need to hurry and get back to the shrine,” Asclepius (Masato) urged the group.
The Return to the Shrine
They began searching for the way back to the shrine. As the full moon’s light dimmed, the boundary between the other world and the real world grew increasingly blurred.
“This way, hurry!” Loki led the group onward.
“Will we make it in time?” Prometheus (Kagaya) asked, his voice filled with worry.
“Don’t give up, we can still make it!” Hermes (Ryoko) called out, motivating herself and the others.
The Fading Boundary
As the landscape of the other world started overlapping with the real world, the shrine grounds gradually came into view. However, their strength was waning, and their steps became heavier with each passing moment.
“Just a bit more… keep pushing!” Gaia (Misa) encouraged her companions.
“We’ve come this far, let’s finish this!” Icarus (Sui Takahara) gritted his teeth and pushed forward with all his remaining strength.
Arriving at the Shrine
Moments before the full moon’s light completely faded, they arrived at the shrine’s grounds.
“We made it… Is everyone okay?” Satoru asked, using the last of his strength to check on the others.
“Yes, we all made it back safely,” Tomomi said with a relieved smile.
“Now we can use the knowledge from the other world in the real world,” Masato said with determination.
The Knowledge of the Other World and Challenges in the Real World
Though they returned with memories of the other world intact, they knew their next challenge awaited them in the real world. They strengthened their resolve, preparing to apply the knowledge they had gained.
“Our journey isn’t over yet. We’ll keep moving forward together,” Satoru said, rallying his companions.
“We’ll develop the technology to bridge the other world and the real one, and pave the way for the future,” Tomomi said firmly.
“For now, let’s take time to rest and prepare for what’s next,” Masato smiled, offering comfort to the group.
“We still have much work to do,” Kagaya added.
“But for now, it’s time to recharge,” Ryoko agreed.
And so, they decided to rest and gather their strength, preparing themselves for the next adventure that awaited them.
