Chapter 471: First Anniversary Extra Chapter (2/2)
[……Isis-san? Did you do something?]
[……Unnn…… It's not just Kaito…… me too…… for our happiness…… I wanted to do my best…… That's why…… I went through my own special training.]
[……Isis-san.]
I see, I wasn't the only one working hard…… Isis-san was also working hard to achieve the same dream huh…… I'm glad. I feel like tearing up a bit.
No, I can cry in happiness later. I should first control her magic power of death……
I manipulated my magic power, imagining it enclosing around the magic power leaking from Isis-san's body. Isis-san slowly accepted my magic power spreading through her body, as if it was seeping in without any resistance.
Then, just as my magic power enveloped Isis-san's magic power, I turned to Kuro and Lillywood-san.
Thereupon, the both of them brightly smiled and made a big circle with their hands.
[ [ ! ? ] ]
With two of the Six Kings' approval…… there was no need to doubt anything anymore. Right now, I couldn't feel any pressure from the magic power of death leaking out of Isis-san's body…… It was a success.
[Isis-san!]
[Kaito!]
Our hearts gushing with emotions, Isis-san and I called each other's names and tightly hugged each other.
[We did it! It's a success!!!]
[……Unnn…… Unnn! ……Thank you…… Kaito…… Thank you…… so much……]
Large tears were dripping down Isis-san's eyes as she shakingly said that, but the expression on her face was the brightest I've ever seen.
The two of us had to cooperate to achieve this. It may not be perfect.
But even so, right now…… Isis-san had finally conquered the magic power of death that had tormented her for so many years!
Burying her face in my chest, Isis-san hugged me more tightly, crying out in happiness. It was as if she was sharing the joy she'd be feeling in her heart with her whole body……
After hugging each other for a while, I waited for Isis-san to stop crying before speaking.
[……Isis-san.]
[……Unnn.]
Thereupon, I let go of Isis-san's body and knelt down on the ground, holding her hand with one hand. Taking out a Blue Crystal Flower that I had picked for this day from my magic box with my other, I held it out to Isis-san.
[……I'm sorry to keep you waiting. But finally, I was able to make my beloved's dream come true. Isis-san, I love you from the bottom of my heart…… Please marry me.]
In this world, it isn't common to give your lover an engagement ring. In a world where polygamy was the norm, it is said that the most loving way to propose marriage is to give a ”memento of your relationship”.
This memory is for the two of us only…… and we will continue to make happy memories in the future…… With this wish in mind, I presented her the memento.
My relationship with Isis-san started with this Blue Crystal Flower…… This flower, with its crystal clear blue hue, was a symbolic memory for Isis-san and I.
I had accumulated many memories with her…… But this is the flower that started it all. So, I think this is the most appropriate way to propose to her.
Isis-san accepted the Blue Crystal Flower I offered her with my free hand, kissed it, and gave me a smile that overshadowed even the most beautiful flower.
[……Yes…… With pleasure.]
I have seen many of Isis-san's faces before now. I've seen her when she's sad, when she's happy, when she's angry, when she's laughing…… I've seen so many of her expressions in the days I've spent with her.
However, the smile I saw on this day, at this time, in this place…… was more beautiful than any other I've ever seen.
Serious-senpai Act3: [W- Whyyyyyyyy!? The seriousness usually doesn't come out, so why the heck did you end with that!? Have some drama, will you!? T- The damage is too great…… Let's quickly use Recovery Magic…… Unnn? Eh? Hey…… ”①”? Eh? W- Wait a moment there…… Does this mean there's a ②? D- Don't tell me…… The marriage ceremony…… Aaaaahh…… Uwaaaaaahhhhh!?]
