Chapter 134 : Simplicities Of Life

Scene 1: Morning at the Flying Fortress

The sun rises over the Eclipsed Eternity as the Omni Voyagers, their girlfriends, Aleph Tohu, Zoe, and Ikari wake up, stretching and yawning after a peaceful and calming sleepover. A full sleep of peace, no overcoming tyrants, Gods, cosmic beings and cosmic battles just pure peace.

Himothy: (grinning) "Alright, everyone! Who's up for a shopping spree in Celestara?"

Zoe:(smiling) "A day out sounds perfect. Let's go!"

They all get dressed and head through a portal to Celestara, a vibrant city floating among the clouds.

Scene 2: Shopping Spree in Celestara Mall

The group splits up, each couple exploring different stores.*

Himothy buys Mira a collection of stylish clothes and snacks for both of them.

Him gets Demitra a new designer bag and some drinks, treating himself to some food as well.

Draco surprises Wednesday with elegant jewelry and sweet treats.

MaxedInfinite picks out fashionable glasses for Eliana and enjoys a fizzy drink with her.

Aleph Tohu spoils Zoe with clothes, jewelry, shoes, and her favorite snacks.

Ikari quietly picks out food and sparkling water for himself, staying low-key.

Scene 3: Ikari's Encounter

While sipping his sparkling water, Ikari's eyes land on a strikingly beautiful woman browsing through a bookshop. Their eyes meet for a moment before Ikari quickly looks away.

Himothy: (grinning maliciously) "Ohhhh, Ikari! Someone's flustered."

Mira:(mocking) "You're never gonna talk to her if you just stand there like a statue."

Determined to push Ikari out of his comfort zone, Mira confidently walks up to the woman and whispers about Ikari's shy interest. The woman chuckles and strides over to Ikari.

???:(smiling warmly) "Hi there. Your friend said you wanted to talk to me but were too shy. Is that true?"

Ikari: (blushing, scratching the back of his head) "Uh... yeah, kinda. I'm Ikari."

Victoria: (grinning) "Nice to meet you, Ikari. I'm Victoria Konan. I'm a Mage, specializing in celestial magic."

The two quickly hit it off, laughing and sharing stories. They exchange locations—Ikari lives with the Omni Voyagers in the Flying Fortress, while Victoria resides in a cozy floating cottage at the edge of Celestara.

Victoria: (playfully) "Well, Ikari, don't be a stranger. Find me sometime."

She waves and walks away, leaving Ikari standing there with butterflies in his stomach. Mira and Himothy waste no time mocking him.

Mira:(grinning) "You're welcome, lover boy. Without us, you'd still be staring from afar."

Ikari: (sighing, but smiling) "Yeah, yeah. Thanks, I guess."

Him and the rest chuckle and laugh at Ikari.

Ikari : (Crying in frustration) "Why are you guys like this."

Scene 4: Farewell at the Flying Fortress

Back at the Flying Fortress, the shopping bags are set aside as Aleph Tohu and Zoe prepare to return to Vinland.

Aleph Tohu: (sighing contently) "This was fun, but it's time to get back home."

Zoe: (smiling) "Vinland's peace is calling. Our little cottage and the farm await."

The Omni Voyagers and Ikari gather around for a group hug.

Him:"Take care, lovebirds. Don't forget us while you're living your peaceful life."

Demitra: "Take care. Don't forget if you need help we're always here."

Wednesday: "Yeah whatever bye bye."

Draco : (Pointing at Wednesday)"Don't mind her, she's gonna miss you guys. To be honest we're all gonna miss you bye."

MaxedInfinite : "Bye you two."

Eliana : "Bye, we're gonna miss you guys."

Himothy : "You two don't forget don't forget us now cause we're for sure not gonna forget you guys."

Mira : (Pointing at Himothy) : "What he said."

Mira : "Bye we're really gonna miss you guys."

Aleph Tohu : "Don't worry guys we'll never forget you. Isn't that right Zoe?"

Zoe: (grinning) "Never. You guys are family."

Aleph Tohu and Zoe step through the portal, arriving back in Vinland, where the air is fresh and the world is calm. They walk hand-in-hand back to their small cottage, the sun setting beautifully behind the rolling hills.

Scene 5: *Peaceful Night

Back at the Flying Fortress, Ikari leans against a railing, staring at the stars, still thinking about Victoria. Himothy strolls by with a teasing grin.

Himothy:"You're thinking about her, aren't you? Victoria… The Mage."

Ikari:(smirking) "Maybe."

The group gathers in the main lounge, sharing laughs and stories until the night grows late. One by one, they drift off to sleep, hearts full and minds at ease.

Narrator (calm, reflective tone):

For once, the world didn't demand power, sacrifice, or resilience. There were no tyrants to overthrow, no cosmic battles to fight, no looming threats in the shadows. Today was not about survival but about the simplicities of life—the moments often overshadowed by conflict but cherished the most once peace settles in.

The Omni Voyagers, Aleph Tohu, Zoe, and Ikari woke not to alarms or battle cries, but to the soft golden rays of sunrise washing over the Flying Fortress. There was no urgency in their movements, just the sluggish stretch of bodies finally rested. Yawns replaced war cries, laughter replaced strategies, and contentment filled the spaces once held by tension.

And so, they ventured into Celestara, a city with a galaxy-like sky and beautiful celestial stepping stones served as streets and the sky itself seemed to hum with serenity. Here, strength was measured not by the weight of one's power but by the joy shared among friends. Himothy's playful shopping spree, Aleph Tohu's indulgence in Zoe's happiness, and the quiet moments Ikari spent sipping sparkling water—each act was a testament to how life, at its core, is built on the smallest pleasures.

But life has its surprises, too. For Ikari, a man often silent and observant, it was the glance of Victoria Konan that shifted his world. In another life, another moment, he might have ignored it. But here, with peace as their only companion, there was room for vulnerability, for connection. And so, what began as a teasing nudge from Mira bloomed into something new—an unfamiliar warmth that left Ikari both flustered and hopeful.

As Aleph Tohu and Zoe bid farewell, the weight of past battles seemed like a distant memory. Their promise to never forget rang true—not just because of shared victories but because peace, once earned, becomes the most precious victory of all.

That night, as the stars stretched across the sky and laughter filled the Flying Fortress, one truth settled quietly among them: Sometimes, the greatest stories aren't written in battle but in the quiet moments between them—the simplicities of life, fleeting yet unforgettable.
