Otomedori-Finale

Months turned into years, and the Okino family grew larger and closer.

Kazuki's journey was marked by remarkable achievements. He began participating in official chess tournaments, quickly making a name for himself with his strategic brilliance and calm demeanour. 

At 19, Kazuki achieved his dream of becoming the world champion of chess. The final match was intense and watched by millions around the globe. When Kazuki made the winning move, the audience erupted in applause.

His family, friends, and fans were ecstatic. Otome and Rinka watched the broadcast with bated breath, and when the victory was announced, they jumped up in joy, tears streaming down their faces.

"That's my brother!" Rinka exclaimed, her voice filled with pride.

Otome hugged Rinka tightly. "He did it! Kazuki-kun did it!"

Kazuki's close friends, who had supported him throughout his journey, celebrated his victory. They knew the dedication and hard work he had put into achieving his goal.

The chess community acknowledged his talent and praised his strategic brilliance, hailing him as one of the greatest players of his generation.

Kazuki's victory brought him immense fame. He was featured in newspapers and magazines, and invited to interviews and talk shows. Despite the sudden surge in popularity, Kazuki remained humble and grounded, always acknowledging the support of his family and friends.

As the years passed, all three siblings gained widespread acclaim in their respective fields. 

Otome joined one of Kyoto's most prestigious academies, excelling in her studies. However, she missed cooking dearly.

One evening, after a long day at the academy, Otome sat at the kitchen table, staring wistfully at a cookbook. Kazuki noticed her sombre expression and walked over, taking a seat beside her.

"Hey, Otome-chan, you seem a bit down. What's wrong?" Kazuki asked gently.

Otome sighed. "I miss cooking, Kazuki-kun but no one at the academy likes to cook, and I've stopped doing it because of peer pressure. It feels like I've lost something I love."

Kazuki nodded knowingly. "That sounds tough. But what if you shared your cooking online? You could start a YouTube channel and make videos of your recipes."

Otome's eyes widened. "A YouTube channel? I don't know... Would people watch me cook?"

Kazuki smiled reassuringly. "Absolutely! You're amazing at cooking and have a warm personality. People would love to see you in the kitchen. Plus, it lets you keep doing what you love and connect with others."

Otome thought for a moment, then smiled. "That sounds wonderful, Kazuki-kun. Let's do it."

Kazuki grinned. "Great! We'll start planning tomorrow. I can't wait to see what you create."

With renewed excitement, Otome realized she could still pursue her passion for cooking, thanks to Kazuki's encouragement. She embraced the idea, and her channel quickly gained popularity.

Her warm personality and delicious recipes attracted a large following, and she found joy in connecting with people who shared her love for cooking.

Rinka, on the other hand, spent her days exploring Kyoto with her photography club. She developed a keen eye for capturing the beauty of the city, and her photographs were often featured in local exhibitions.

After graduating from high school, Rinka continued her passion for photography, enrolling in a specialized art school. It was during this time that she and Hirano, the vice president of the photography club, grew closer. Their shared interests and mutual admiration blossomed into a romantic relationship.

Rinka was nervous when she decided to introduce Hirano to her elder brother Kazuki, whom she deeply admired and loved.

One sunny afternoon, Rinka and Hirano stood nervously outside the house. Rinka took a deep breath and squeezed Hirano's hand for reassurance.

"Ready?" she asked quietly, trying to steady her voice.

Hirano nodded, his expression anxious. "As ready as I'll ever be."

They entered the house, and Kazuki greeted them with a warm smile. "Rinka, Hirano, come in! It's great to see you both."

Rinka managed a smile back, her nerves evident. "Onii-chan, there's something important I want to talk to you about."

Kazuki's expression turned curious, and he led them to the living room. They all sat down, and Rinka fidgeted nervously, glancing at Hirano beside her.

'So it's the time, huh…..' 

"Onii-chan, Hirano and I... we've been together for a while now," Rinka began tentatively. "And I wanted to introduce him to you properly because you mean so much to me."

Kazuki nodded, his smile softening. "I see. It's nice to meet you officially, Hirano."

He of course knew about him. There was no way, he was going to let any guy get close to his little sister unless he was a good one and from what he had observed in the last months, Hirano was the best partner for his little sister.

Hirano nodded respectfully. "Thank you, Kazuki-san. I've heard a lot about you from Rinka. Your achievements are truly inspiring."

Kazuki chuckled lightly. "You don't have to be so formal, Hirano. Please, just Kazuki is fine."

Rinka looked relieved as the tension eased. "Onii-chan, I hope you don't mind. I wanted you to meet Hirano because he's special to me."

Kazuki's eyes twinkled with warmth. "Rinka, you're my little sister. Your happiness is what matters most to me. If Hirano makes you happy, then I'm happy too."

Hirano smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Kazuki-san. I promise to always cherish Rinka and treat her well."

Kazuki nodded, genuinely pleased. "That's good to hear. Welcome to the family, Hirano."

Rinka beamed, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. She knew Kazuki's acceptance meant the world to her, and she was grateful for his understanding and support.

At the age of 26, Kazuki married his long-time love, Otome. Their wedding was a grand event attended by many famous personalities, all there to celebrate the achievements and fame of the Okino family.

The ceremony was held in a beautiful garden, adorned with flowers and lights, creating a magical atmosphere. Otome wore a stunning white gown, and Kazuki looked dashing in his tuxedo. They exchanged heartfelt vows under a canopy of cherry blossoms, their love radiating in every word.

Friends and family gathered to witness the union of two souls deeply in love. Rinka, as the maid of honour, couldn't contain her happiness. She gave a touching speech, recounting memories of their childhood and expressing her joy for her brother and his bride.

The reception was filled with laughter, music, and dancing, and the night ended with a spectacular display of fireworks.

Two years later, Otome gave birth to a baby girl, whom they named Yuna. The arrival of Yuna brought immense joy to the family. Kazuki and Otome embraced parenthood with love and dedication, cherishing every moment with their daughter.

They spent countless hours marvelling at their little one, captivated by her every smile and coo. Kazuki often found himself gazing at Yuna while she slept, feeling a profound sense of happiness and responsibility.

That same year, Rinka married her love, Hirano, in another grand wedding. Their wedding was equally beautiful, filled with heartfelt moments and shared happiness. The ceremony took place in a serene temple, surrounded by nature.

Rinka looked radiant in her traditional kimono, and Hirano couldn't take his eyes off her. Kazuki, as the best man, delivered a heartfelt speech, sharing his pride in his sister and welcoming Hirano into their family.

The reception was a joyful celebration, with friends and family coming together to honour the couple. They danced, shared stories, and toasted to Rinka and Hirano's future. The love and happiness in the room were palpable, and it was a day that everyone would remember fondly.

The following year, Rinka and Hirano welcomed a baby girl, whom they named Anne. Embracing their roles as parents, Rinka and Hirano decided to take a break from their photography careers to spend more time together as a family.

They enjoyed watching Anne grow and capturing her milestones through their lenses, creating a beautiful visual diary of her early years.

By the age of 30, Kazuki decided to retire from the competitive chess world to focus on Otome's YouTube channel, which had become incredibly popular.

He supported her by managing the technical aspects of the channel and helping to create engaging content. 

The next year, they welcomed another baby, a boy named Keith. The family was overjoyed with the new addition, and Yuna was thrilled to have a younger brother. Kazuki and Otome balanced their careers and family life, ensuring that their children grew up in a loving and nurturing environment.

They often took family outings to parks and museums, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As the years passed, the next generation of the Okino family found their paths and passions. Kazuki and Otome's son, Keith, developed a deep love for cooking, inspired by his mother's talent and dedication.

Their daughter, Yuna, showed a natural aptitude for chess, following in her father's footsteps. Rinka and Hirano's daughter, Anne, pursued a career in law, showcasing her determination and intellect.

Keith decided to travel abroad to refine his culinary skills, immersing himself in various cuisines and cultures. His journey took him to renowned culinary schools and kitchens across Europe and Asia.

During one of these adventures, at a vibrant party in Paris, he met Lana, a fellow cook with a shared passion for food. Their connection was instant, and they began dating and exploring the world of cooking together.

After years of travel and learning, Keith returned home with Lana by his side. The family welcomed Lana warmly, appreciating her love for cooking and the joy she brought to Keith's life.

Keith and Lana's wedding was a beautiful celebration of their love and culinary talents, featuring a unique menu that delighted all the guests. The ceremony was held in a picturesque vineyard, with friends and family gathered to witness their union.

The following year, Yuna married Hiroshi, a chess player from Tokyo. Their wedding was a grand affair, attended by prominent figures from the chess community.

The ceremony took place in a traditional Shinto shrine, and the reception featured chess-themed decorations and activities. Yuna and Hiroshi's shared love for the game was evident in every detail, and their wedding was a celebration of their mutual passion and commitment.

Anne, Rinka and Hirano's daughter found love within her profession. She married Kenji, a co-worker from the same law firm, who admired her strength and dedication. Their wedding was a heartfelt affair, attended by close friends and family.

The ceremony was held in a historic courthouse, symbolizing their shared commitment to justice and law. The reception was a joyful celebration, filled with speeches, laughter, and dancing.

The Okino family continued to grow as each couple welcomed children into the world. Keith and Lana had twins, a boy named Satoshi and a girl named Mei, who quickly developed a love for cooking, just like their parents.

Yuna and Hiroshi welcomed a daughter named Aiko, who showed a keen interest in chess from a young age.

Anne and Kenji had a son named Haruto, who was curious and intelligent, displaying early signs of following in his parents' legal footsteps.

The Okino household was often filled with the laughter of grandchildren, creating a lively and loving atmosphere. Kazuki and Otome cherished these moments, grateful for the close-knit and supportive family they had nurtured.

They often hosted large family gatherings, where everyone would come together to share meals, stories, and laughter.

Years later, at the age of 68, Otome lay on a hospital bed, surrounded by her family. The room was filled with a profound sense of love and gratitude for the woman who had touched their lives so deeply.

Kazuki sat beside her, holding her hand gently. The family had gathered from near and far to be with Otome in her final moments.

Otome looked at each of her family members, her eyes filled with warmth and pride. "I've had a wonderful life," she whispered, her voice weak but filled with emotion. "If there's an afterlife, I want to meet you there."

Kazuki, his eyes full of emotion but not shedding a tear, squeezed her hand. "I would love to meet you again, Otome-chan," he said softly.

Yuna, Keith, Rinka, Hirano, and the rest of the family gathered closer, offering their love and support. They shared memories and whispered words of comfort, their presence a testament to the strong bonds Otome had fostered.

Her breathing grew softer, and with a peaceful smile, she closed her eyes for the last time, surrounded by the family she had devoted her life to.

The Okino family mourned her loss deeply but found solace in the legacy of love and unity she had left behind. Kazuki, though heartbroken, remained a pillar of strength for his family, cherishing the memories and lessons Otome had shared with them.

The family continued to grow and thrive, honouring Otome's memory by staying true to the values she had instilled in them.

They celebrated each other's successes, supported one another through challenges, and always found time to come together, keeping the spirit of the Okino family alive for generations to come.

Kazuki, now the elder statesman of the family, watched with pride as his grandchildren pursued their dreams. Satoshi and Mei inherited their parents' love for cooking and often helped Keith and Lana in the kitchen. 

Aiko became a chess prodigy, following in her mother Yuna's footsteps and competing in national tournaments. Haruto excelled in school, showing a keen interest in law and justice, much like his parents Anne and Kenji.

Three years after Otome's passing, at the age of 71, Kazuki left the world with a peaceful smile on his face. His departure was gentle, surrounded by the family he had guided and nurtured.

The family gathered once more, united in their grief and love, honouring the life and legacy of Kazuki and Otome.

~~~~~~~

The next moment when Kazuki opened his eyes, he was back in the familiar void, ready to receive his mission rewards before moving to another world.

The Star System's voice appeared once again, congratulating him on completing his missions and began to calculate his rank.

"It is detected that the host has done something never done before..."

"The rewards and the ranks are being adjusted..."

"Congratulations host for achieving the impossible SS rank," the Star System announced. "The original Kazuki is very happy with the way you lived his life."

"For your excellent performance, you have earned three rewards. The first is 4 million Star points. The second is one soul retrieval card, and the last one is a Grandmaster-level card of any profession."

Seeing the rewards, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed going back in time to fix his little sister's tragedy had proven to be a very good choice.

"What does the last reward do, Star?" Kazuki, now identified as Darien, curiously asked.

"By using the card, you can gain the knowledge and experience of a Grandmaster of any field," the Star System explained.

"Damn, that's quite a good reward..." Darien mumbled, already thinking about the field he wanted to choose. "I want the hacking knowledge, Star."

Since he was going to the modern world who knows how many times, hacking skills would be very useful to him, especially when he didn't want to use his powers.

"The knowledge and experience are being transferred to the host's brain..."

Darien felt a sudden surge of information flooding his mind. It was as if he had spent years mastering the art of hacking, with every trick, technique, and shortcut becoming second nature to him.

"This is amazing," Darien thought to himself. "With these skills, I can navigate the modern world with ease."

The Star System's voice interrupted his thoughts. "You are now ready for your next mission. Prepare yourself to be transported."

In the next second, Darien felt his soul leaving his body, and his consciousness began to fade. He experienced the familiar sensation of being pulled through time and space, a journey orchestrated by the Star Guide system to deliver him to his next destination.

Suddenly, the sensation of movement ceased, and Darien's consciousness began to solidify. He could feel himself becoming grounded in a new reality.

His senses gradually returned, bringing with them the sights, sounds, and sensations of his new environment.

He opened his eyes, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. The transition was complete, and Darien was ready to begin his next adventure.

With this arc done, I am free.

To be honest, it became quite harder to write in the last chapters as compared to the previous arc.

I guess it might be because I felt no emotion like anger while writing it. So I have decided to hold this novel until I find a hentai that can make me feel anger.
