Mayumi and the others are enjoying their time in the amusement park. When suddenly, Mayumi and Shihou got separated from the others. Shihou decided to hold her hand to ensure they did not get separated anymore but finding his little sister and the others was hard. Many people in the area make it hard to look for them. Shihou cannot handle the awkward atmosphere in them, so he wants to find the others as soon as possible. Mayumi also notices it, and she thinks that maybe this is the perfect opportunity to ask him.
"Umm, Shihou..."
"Yes?" he replies, not bothering to glance in her direction.
"Why did you ask Sumi-san to take over?" Shihou shifts his gaze in her direction; the surprise is evident on his face. He doesn't know what to do or respond because he's sure she'll get upset if he tells her the truth.
Because even he, he wasn't sure why he requested Sumi to take over. He thinks that maybe he got caught up in the moment when it happened. Now that he thinks about it, wasn't he a bit impulsive? While an inner battle was going on in his mind, he didn't notice a little boy running to both of them. The little boy accidentally runs into him. The boy quickly says sorry before beginning to run again back to his friends. But the apology of the boy went unnoticed by both of them.
When the boy bumps into him, he loses his balance and falls on top of Mayumi. Because of the sudden surprise of Shihou falling on her. Mayumi also lost her balance, and both of them fell to the ground. When they finally registered what happened, they saw each other's faces close, eyes meeting each other. They didn't dare to do anything.
They continue to look in each other's eyes. The people around them were unnoticed by the two of them as they continued to look at each other's eyes. Shihou sighs internally, and he can't handle this anymore. He decided not to back off anymore! He will no longer stand back for Tennou anymore! He will become selfish even if it means breaking the law! Standing with a blush on his face, he helped her to stand.
"T-thank you!" Mayumi said, looking down and a blush on her face.
She startles when Shihou suddenly holds her hand. Looking up at him, she saw many emotions swirling in the eyes of Isami Shihou. Because of that, she's feeling butterflies flying in her stomach; this is the first time she has seen him with that lot of emotion.
"Can we go somewhere private? I want to ask you something!" the genuine smile he gave made her heart race. She can't take it anymore! With a blush on her face, she nods and holds his outreach hand.
"Common, let's ride this one!" Sayuri cheerfully said. Rokuhiko agreed while Benihime looked around, and she began to notice something.
"Where's Mayumi and Isami-san?" They finally realize that Mayumi and Shihou got separated from them.
+++---+++---+++
"Umm... Shihou, what do you want to ask?" he looks at her lovingly while holding her hands. He looks at her, determined; this is it! He will become selfish! He doesn't care anymore, besides his family also said they'll support him!
"Amagi Mayumi..." he said with a gentle voice. Mayumi's heart flips, hearing the gentleness of his voice. She only heard him talk like this with his little sister, and now being on the receiving end makes her heart race.
"Yes?" he looks at her with a loving gaze.
"Can you be my bride?" the question made her heart stop. There's only one answer to that question, and without a second thought, she launches herself to him, hugging him like there's no tomorrow. To which the boy returns with a nervous expression.
"Yes, Shihou! I'll be your bride!" she answers happily. He sighed in relief, tightening the hug. He kisses her forehead and smiles at her happily.
"I'm so glad you said yes!" he said in relief.
"And I'm so glad you've returned my feelings!" Mayumi said happily.'
"Mayumi..." he seriously said, looking at her.
"Hmm?" she looks up at him cutely, causing him to blush more than he already has.
"Can we keep this a secret for now?"
"Eh? Why?" Mayumi whines, a pout on her face, making the boy smile at her somewhat sad.
"We will face many problems if we announce it now, and our no. 1 problem is your father, Seichi-sensei!"
"Yeah, your right. Dad said if someone's dating me, they should ask permission first from him before dating me!" Shihou laughs and pecks her lips, causing her to blush and hide her face in his chest.
"Let's go find the others! I bet they're already worried!"
They both smile at each other before they look for their friends again.
"Sayuri, did you see them there?" Rokuhiko ask.
"Nope! How about you, Roku, Beni?" Sayuri said worriedly.
"We didn't find them either," Benihime said to the other two.
"Damn it! Where they did go to!" Rokuhiko said, frustrated as she scratched his head in annoyance.
"Guys!" the three of them heard, looking at the voice, and saw Mayumi with Shihou. Sayuri, with teary eyes, runs to both of them while Rokuhiko sigh in relief, same with Benihime.
"Mayu! Where did both of you go to!?" Sayuri asks, pouting.
Mayumi laughs awkwardly. She's a little relieved that the others didn't notice that the both of them are holding hands. But what she didn't know was that Sayuri saw it. She knew something good had happened. She is eager to hear the story of her brother.
But what they didn't know is that even if fate leads them to each other, it still has something for both of them. Something that they'll need to face. Maybe it is to test whether they can be together and were made for each other or are not for each other at all.
+++---+++---+++
The strawberry blond-haired girl sweated in nervousness as she faced the person in front of her. Even though the other person is still not saying anything, she can already feel what they want to say. She knows it consists of her best friend and the heir of the Amagi family. She startles when they suddenly speak. Looking at them with nervousness, she can see the evil smirk lurking on the face of the person.
"Now, shall we discuss something, Haru Hikari?"
