Chapter 452: Weve Taken a Step Forward Towards Such a Future (2/2)

[Y- Yes!]

[……Kaito…… I love you…… I treasure you…… More than anyone…… More than anything…… That's why…… I'm fine if it's not immediately…… but when Kaito is ready…… one day…… I want us…… to get married.]

It was the same thing that Isis-san had said to me when we first met. But receiving her marriage proposal now, my heart was filled with a completely different emotion that I had back then.

At that time, I was very confused because someone I had just met suddenly asked me to marry her…… I didn't mean to be rude, but I actually found it a bit scary back then.

However, right now…… I was just happy to hear those words and feeling Isis-san's affection towards me.

That's why, after a bit of silence, I looked straight into Isis-san's eyes and spoke.

[……I think I would still need some time. When I've finished preparing to live in this world for the rest of my life and finished saying goodbye to the people who have taken care of me…… at that time, I will definitely tell you these words to you myself. That's why, please wait for me.]

[……Unnn!]

[……Thank you, Isis-san. I'm really happy to have met you.]

[……Unnn? ……Arehh? ……Kaito…… You're not using honorifics anymore?]

[Eh? Arehh? I- I'm sorry! I- I unconsciously spoke casually……]

[……No…… I'm happy…… that you're speaking casually…… instead…… That's why…… if Kaito is fine with it…… I'd like it…… if Kaito speaks casually.]

[I understand…… Ah, no, alright. I- I'm kind of confused on how to speak now.]

[……Fufufu.]

Isis-san smiles happily at me, a little confused by the fact that I've unconsciously spoken casually.

And then, right at that moment, as if to congratulate our promise that we did tonight…… a large flower bloomed in the night sky.

[……Ah…… Fireworks.]

[……Isis-san?]

[……Unnn?]

[I want to say it again. I love you.]

[……I love you too…… Kaito.]

No more words were needed other than that. Under the night sky lit up by flowers of varying colors…… Our shadows overlapped with each other.

Dear Mom, Dad————- When I first met her, I was very confused and feeling sympathetic for her. But as we spent time together, my feelings for her turned into tranquility and affection. From stranger to friend, from friend to lovers…… And from lovers to a future where we accumulate more and more memories————- We've taken a step forward towards such a future.

Serious-senpai MK-II (HP:13): [Gfuuuhh…… M- Making a proposal appointment…… That's a good move…… However! I, who have finally become MK-II, can withstand that instant death strike!]

Archangel: [……What…… misunderstanding…… are you saying?]

Serious-senpai MK-II (Breaking down): [……Eh?]

Archangel: […… With each…… of my solo chapters…… I grow far sweeter…… And after the third day ends…… there's still the scheduled…… ”Popularity Poll Extra Chapter”…… You understand what I mean…… right?]

Serious-senpai MK-II (HP:0): [Aaaaahhhh…… Uwaaahhhhh……]
