"Hmm? What's wrong?" She asked with a concerned expression, her face soaked in the tranquil rays of moonlight passing through the tall umbrella.
"You're gorgeous." I prised with a genuine voice, and she just nodded and looked at with the sa concerned expression.
"I know that but what's wrong? That was the sigh you have when sothing unpredictable happens.
It's rare so sothing has to be wrong. What is it? Was there sothing concerning with the ssage from your master this ti… yes. That must be it. That's why you had to see it asap.
What's wrong?"
She was truly concerned this ti. Those worried eyes were looking at for the answer. She wanted to help, even if she didn't know what was wrong.
She was cute, and this was her usual behavior. And I know she will do whatever to get to tell her what was wrong until it was…
"World-level confidential information. Half of it at least."
I looked at her with a bitter smile and her lips fluttered, bit themselves, and she sat back on her chair.
We knew almost everything about each other aside from the stuff that we terd 'confidential'.
There were levels and the world level was the third highest level of confidential information.
She knew she would have to be too prepared if she wanted to know this because many of them may be dangerous for her and the people around her.
"Is it related to so political propaganda?" she asked as she kept looking up at the sky, her enhanced beauty under this nightlight being far grander than inside the house.
'It's good that people don't see her in the open at night like this. They would actually just get captivated for ti unknown.'
Well, so have actually been captivated and still have an undeniable crush on her. But we can't do much about them.
"Hmm…" I looked at her and thought about this whole thing.
Few people must already know about it and seeing how it's kept such tightly regulated that even I only found out like this, it must be handled by powers like the headmaster and such. So…
"No. It's far more concerning than that."
My answer was clear and she looked straight in the eye as she heard that.
"Demons…?" She asked after a while of scanning my face and this smart fiancee of mine was on the spot this ti, so I couldn't help but nod lightly.
"Fucking bastards…"
She frowned with genuine disgust and shook her head in understanding.
She hated them to the core, as always.
Then she looked at with a worried expression that pitied for how I always just carry the burden of things like these all by myself.
She was lovely to think like that. But that distorted expression wasn't much good on her ecstatic face.
"Let's forget about that. Master said so cool things and we saw even cooler things. Here, look at this."
-Ooooooooooong.
A white light shone on my hand and she knew what it ant, so she grabbed my hand and experienced the sa things, from zooming back from the earth, seeing that amazing view of the end, to hearing my master's words.
I naturally skipped the part with the rotating earth and the demon land so she only saw good stuff. And when she got back…
"Damn… fuck. That was sexy!"
Her eyes sparkled with true excitent as she stood up from her chair, walked behind mine, and hugged .
"Thanks~."
Kissing my cheeks, she went back and happily sat down in her place.
"It was simply amazing! Did you see those weird creatures behind that colorful blanket of light webs~? Cute~!"
Those last words surprised as I didn't see anything like that, but if she saw them, her eyes that can see the truth perceived that, then it ant she glanced behind the veil of the cosmic boundary.
"Did you see so very dark creatures with cloud-like uncertain forms, so colorful creatures with the appearance that's normally called 'heinous' and beings that were just too uncertain and had many eyes to put into words?"
I had to ask this. Even I couldn't see the beings of the outer space from my great eyes.
"Yes~. And you asking would an you didn't see them. aning only I saw them~! One coin if you want to know the details."
She smirked with an excited smile and I had to know what she saw so I had no choice but to give her a white coin.
"Hehe~. Thanks! So they were…"
She was great with her words and knew how to explain in detail so I just stayed there and listened to her, enjoyed her smiling face, enjoyed her presence, and this mont.
Thinking back, many things happened after I t this diabolical love of mine.
She was the first ever person I t after coming back from that horrible forest and the best ho where I t your master.
We t, then the first thing she did was attack with an excited smile.
She was strong back then but had scars like mine.
She was cute from the start but as I spent my days, months, and years together with her, I knew she was more than just a pretty, strong, and amazing person.
She was a poet and a poem so poetic that every lister would fall in love with her deep emotions.
She was a warrior and survivor who had won many battles, survived many unexpected things, got in and out of the places that people call hell, and even lived through the changing tis to see nations rise and empires fall.
She was a mage who had deep pure darkness at her command, and she was a witch who knew death better than even those like , who had gone through the experience of death more than once.
She was the moon people admired, and the star that gave hope to the lone.
But for , this crazy witch of mine was a blank sky. The dark night sky I can color with any bright shade I want.
Life with her was fulfilling, and though she was still as difficult to handle as ever, she was a fine lady who can handle herself well enough to steal hearts just by being present in a place.
She was mine though. And I belonged to her.
And now that we were engaged, she had far fewer restrictions on us than yesterday.
Still, there were restrictions. But we can take care of ourselves and that much was enough.
"So, yes. That's all I can say about them. It was short, so that's the most I could perceive. And even if we see them again, I don't think much will co up."
She sighed with relief now that our hour-long conversation was finished.
I gave her a coin so I had to get my money's worth and I wanted to know more but this was the limit for my spending today.
"Thank you for the great work, Rein."
"You're a bad bastard, you know?"
"Of course I know. And you will have to deal with it."
I gave her a small smile and lifted her hand with my hand with our engagent rings.
Closing my eyes, (going to the special floor of my mind tower, reaching the special place with single floating books on display, walking to the special area with the very thin red-pink book, taking it out as the book started vanishing into fine particles,) I cast the spell.
"(: Bond)"
A bright white light ca out of my hand and covered both our hands.
A small magic circle that was too complex that even she was dumbfounded seeing it materialize above our hands.
Then, strange white strings ca out of the magic circle, went into our rings, settled down, and then intertwined with each other.
"Done."
"What…?"
"A special enchantnt to our special rings."
I gave her a small smile, and she tried checking what the enchantnt was but still couldn't figure out much just from her eyes.
"From the magic circle I saw, it's sothing more special than I can think. Haaa… it's too complicated and I'm too lazy right now."
She just leaned back on her chair and sat there, smiling with more excitent than before.
"We aren't just friends anymore…" She mumbled with a dark grin on her face that looked even more adorable.
"That's right."
-Snap.
With simple telekinesis, I removed the table separating the two of us, lifted my chair, and got exactly before her.
"And you're still that bad girl to have those bad-bad thoughts."
Holding her chin and getting close to her face, earning that beautiful pink blush of surprise, I enjoyed the view that belonged only to .
"School from next week. Excited?" I asked, and stayed like that, seeing as the blush of surprise changed into a smirk of joy.
"Very excited. Afterall…"
She stopped, held my face with both her hands, and closed her eyes, still smiling as if she held the world in her hand.
"We will live together there, alone. And do gooooood things, alone. How can I possibly wait for that…"
She leaned in for another kiss but I had to break those fantasies a little bit and see the resulting reaction of my dear lady. So before our lips touched each other, I spoke up in a low voice, enough that she could hear.
"You know we will have many other people in the house we make there right?"
We had a great amount of land to ourselves on that floating island, and I had good plans to develop it into our first base.
She was surprised when she heard that.
She knew we would do sothing like that but it was still not good for her plan to live alone with .
"Fuck that. 'We' will live in dos anyway."
And after that, she cleared the dark sad expression from her face and bit my lips.
Our first kiss, which lasted for a long six minutes, was amazing. And even though she had no experience, and was a terrible kisser at first, she had deep knowledge because of her life experiences and the ladies of the house, so she beca better than most midway through our kiss.
And now, as she dived in for the kiss herself, she was unlike any other ladies I had ever kissed.
She was the best in other aspects and she was now the best kiss.
Anyway… putting aside our good private ti, the new chapter of our lives was coming.
The ti till now had been about us, but going forward, we had academy, the new things I wanted, the finding of capable people for many of my necessary plans, and setting up my dream team: The Lightshade.
In the process of finding and obtaining the love, we deviated from the main storyline and it was now ti to get back on track.
Things were ssed up a lot but there's always hope.
Soone had said: if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.
And soone else had added to that saying: and if you gaze long enough into this abyss, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I was lost in the love and I don't regret it. But now that we were free, aside from the natural stuff, the academy, and important things, we had to look after our duties as student council mbers, and also achieve our personal goals.
She had been with and she will be with on this journey, but there were many people for us to et, many things to see, many things to gain, and many things to show.
The last end we had was sad but this one, this end as the partner of my life and I were one with each other…
It was as warm as the feeling when I saw 'her' vanish into her gorgeous flas and turn into ashes.
This was our mont, and an end, a different plot, the academy arc, and hopefully a better future were waiting for us.
And people who have been with us on this journey as well as the others who will join in the future… I believe it will be fun.
