Mika POV,

- I don't pay attention.

Looking the other person's surprised face, I happily continued:

- If I have to trade my freedom to be with you, I'm willing.

The corners of his ears suddenly turned slightly red.

- So Mika, do you want to be my wife?

- If you proposed, then I also have to answer.

After saying that, I gently touch my forehead to his, while my hand reach behind him to hold his neck:

- I am willing to become your wife, build a family with you and have children together with you to overcome difficultiess, vow to share both pain and happiness with you, may God Tsukuyomi bear witness for me.

A ray of light emitted between their foreheads, and he suddenly stepped back.

- Do you know what you just did?

It was a prayer witnessed by the gods. If the person making the vow doesn't really mean it, there won't be the same light as before.

- I know, so how do you want to repay me?

He gently touched my forehead again, his hand holding my hand:

- I am Ubuyashiki Kagaya, willing to marry Mika as my wife, build a family with her and have children, vow to protect her and overcome difficulties together, vow to share love and suffering with her, please Lord witness.

The light from before appeared again. He noticed that my cheeks were slightly pink.

- So what do you want to do next?

- Wherever you want to take me, I will go.

- So hurry up and I'll carry you.

- I can go by myself.

- Then listen to you.

I am not in a hurry to lead him away, but sat down at his eye level.

- Kagaya, I will show you how to regulate the energy in your body. Even though it cannot cure your illness, it will help you get a little healthier.

With his agree, I begin to give instructions, he could only obediently follow.

He learn quite quickly, and soon mastered the method. I couldn't help but exclaim:

- Why are there such differences between people? It took me almost an entire night to grasp the basics, but you only needed half an hour.

His ears turned a little red, after all, this is the first time someone complimented him.

Because his studying always relates a duty and his responsibility with Ubuyashiki Family.

While deep in thought, he is surprised when I placed a wreath on his head.

It's a wisteria flower.

In front of the two people is a wisteria tree that is more than a few thousand years old.

The canopy is very wide, covering a large area by wisteria flowers.

Mika POV END.

Kagaya POV,

But the strange thing is that when I was at the foot of the mountain, I cannot see the tree, not even a hint of the purple color of the flowers.

- This flower suits you very well, especially your eyes. Mika said. "I really want to see it every day"

- Really? - My eyes were slightly narrowed.

The gentle sound and seductive face made her suddenly blush and quickly retreat.

- You must not seduce me.

I follow to her.

Looking the face getting closer and closer, her eyes closed tightly.

It isn't a kiss, my hand gently caressing her cheek, she opened her eyes, that my face is only a few centimeters away from hers.

- What are you thinking? - I chuckle

- I...I....am....am.. - she confuse.

A kiss fell onto her lips, making her mind go blank.

Her mouth stuttered and she couldn't utter a word.

- You...you....I...I....

- Let's go back to the temple! You said to return before sunset, didn't you?

- Yes.

I and she held hands together and walked towards the temple.

"Hope this beautiful scene can last a little longer"

END Kagaya POV

The 3rd person POV

After dinner, Mika has to start preparing the ceremony for tonight, the full moon night of every month.

- Why haven't you gone to rest yet?

She notices him still sitting under the porch looking at her.

- I want to see you.

- If you want. But if you feel tired, you have to go back to your room to rest.

Getting his nod, she felt secure to begin the ceremony.

When the last sunset fell, the stone pillars around her burst into flames, and the Moon Dance also began.

He is still sitting under the porch, reviewing the writing his father assigned him and watching the lady in sight of him dance until midnight.

The image of that girl seem to be engraved deeply into his mind and heart.

Reminds him of his encounter with the magician half a month ago.

__________

Two weeks ago,

Before Mr. Oyakata arrived at Tsukuyomi Shrine,

At Ubuyashiki Prefecture,

The most surprising thing is that today the magician, who appointed the future wife of the head of the Ubuyashiki family, appeared here.

- Good morning, Mr. Shinran (monk), I wonder what your business is here today?

- I'm glad to see you're still healthy. I came there today because I had something to do. Could you please invite the young master here?

Oyakata signaled someone to invite his son over.

- Is it something related to Kagaya, sir?

- Yes, but we need to meet him to confirm some things.

The door was opened, the young boy was sitting in seiza (Japanese kneeling style), bowing his head politely to greet the people in the room:

- Good morning to you, father. Good morning, Mr. Shinran. I wonder what father is looking for me today?

- Come in, Mr. Shinran wants to see you.

- Yes. - The boy slowly stood up and went to sit next to his father.

- I want to talk about your fiance. - suddenly he hesitated a bit.

- Haven't you decided to be Lady Amane? - he replied.

- Yes, before I thought Miss Amane was the best choice, but a few days ago I met a rather special girl.

He continued to ask:

- As a Miko of Tsukuyomi Shrine, there is a very strange karmic connection, which is what led me here. That girl would be the most suitable choice. I hope you will come to meet her once. All I need to say is this.

Mika POV,

Noticing his confused face, I ask:

- Kagaya, what are you thinking?

His eyes regain focus.

- Was the ceremony over?

- Um, do you want to eat some sweets before bed?

- It's late, you shouldn't eat sweets.

- Well,... I'll keep it for tomorrow morning..... Now it's time for you to go to bed, children who stay up late won't grow taller!

- So do you.

- I don't need it, if I were any taller I would be taller than you.

Right now I am literally a head taller than him, after all we are four years apart.
