Chapter 1167: Continuation of Happiness
As time went by, the bright sun turned into the sunset, and then continued to fall, and was covered by the sea level. The bright moon replaced the sun, and the carnival continued. It did not cool down because of the quiet night, but because the brilliant lights and rich cheerful atmosphere of the carnival drove away the tranquility of the night.
However, it was almost coming to an end. The goods in the stalls were almost sold out. Most of the stalls began to close, and the tourists who were playing gathered on the beach on the coast, looking up at the night sky, waiting for something.
"Hey, Ikki, are you really going?" Shoko Yusama looked up and asked Ikki Makabe, without worry, only a warm smile.
"Well, if the general is going, I want to go too." The reason why Ikki Makabe wanted to join the Promise Corps was simple, because of the general.
He was not a person who yearned for change. He liked the quiet life on the island very much. Even if it was not as exciting as the outside world, he could only guard the small shop and welcome similar customers every day, but... this was the best future for him.
But Soushi Minagi wants to join the Promise Corps. No matter what the reason is, he should follow Soushi Minagi. Since childhood, he has hurt Soushi Minagi many times and owes Soushi Minagi a lot. He wants to repay and wants to continue to protect this companion who looks cold and ruthless but has always protected everyone.
"Then I want to go too." Shoko Hanesama replied to Ikki Makabe with a smile, her eyes full of support and companionship.
"Shoko? Why? You are not..." Ikki Makabe was surprised. Shoko Hanesama is also a person who likes ordinary life very much. She doesn't have so many expectations for a changed life. Moreover, Shoko Hanesama's body is still the weakest among everyone. Due to her weak body, the time she can drive Fafner is also the shortest among everyone.
"Because... Ikki is going, so I want to go too." When she said this, Shoko Hanesama's head had already gently leaned on Ikki Makabe's left shoulder, and her hand also held Ikki Makabe's hand. Her answer was exactly the same as Ikki Makabe's, except that she changed two names.
Makabe Ikki opened his mouth, wanting to dissuade Hanesama Shoko, but couldn't say anything, because Hanesama Shoko's answer was exactly the same as his, so... Makabe Ikki also understood what this answer meant.
And... Hanesama Shoko's behavior was the best confession.
Makabe Ikki used to be very natural, and it was hard to see, but he had grown up. The distress after growing up was that he could see many things clearly, but he could not make a decision. Thinking of his remaining short life, he dared not and could not accept the love of others.
And now... the world has been saved, they don't have to fight anymore, and... the remaining short life has new hope.
"Then I want to go too." On the right side of Makabe Ikki, Farmi Maya saw Hanesama Shoko make a decision, and she also made a decision, no longer entangled, and said the same answer as Hanesama Shoko, and made the same move.
"Tomi? You..."
"Hehe, Maya, you finally stopped hesitating?" Makabe Ikki, who was hugged by women on both sides, was panicked, but Hanesama Shoko covered her mouth and chuckled. As the best girlfriend, how could Hanesama Shoko not see Tomi Maya's feelings?
At the beginning, she was also very entangled. She and her best sister fell in love with the same person, and her best sister was so much better than her. Would the person she liked accept her best sister and reject her?
But as she grew up and fought more and more, Hanesama Shoko figured it out. Choose someone else and reject yourself? So what? They...are not still a family?
Yes, a family, everyone on the island is a family, a complete family, Makabe Ikki, Tomi Maya, Minashiro Soushi... Nishio Rina, Nishio Akira, Tategami Seri... Mizukage Misaka, Mikado Rei, Kaburagi Hui... their own parents, the parents of their companions, other elders on the island... Myo Neil, Kasugai Kouhiro, the main operator... Minashiro Otohime, Minashiro Orihime
There are pure humans, impure humans, Festum, and star cores, but everyone is a family, complete and whole, and no one wants to be missing someone else's family.
Since we are a family, why should we be so clear? Why must the other party accept us?
If we want to fight, we will fight side by side. If we want to travel far, we will guard this home and wait for their return.
However, when Yusama Shoko first learned that Yang Hui had many wives, she was still very shocked, which conflicted with her three views.
Later, she learned that there was no monogamy rule in Promise Fortress. Except for death in battle, their lifespan was unlimited. The more people accompany the future home, the less likely it is to get lost in the long years.
Of course, some people also joked that this was a rule made by Yang Hui to satisfy his own selfish desires, but...
Who knows? Whether it is justice or selfishness, Yusama Shoko only feels happy, because... she and her good sister finally don't have to worry about their own feelings.
Therefore, she was not angry or opposed to Yuanjian Maya's confession, but only understood and supported.
"Well, Shoko, you know that too, right?"
"Yes, I know, but... the Chief of the Imperial General Staff said to call me sister~"
"No way! Lu~!" Yuanjian Maya made a naughty face to Hanesama Shoko, as if she had returned to her childhood.
"Wait, Tomi, Shoko, what are you doing..." Makabe Ikki, as the happiest person, looked confused and absurd. Their education since childhood was very traditional. He didn't know the leniency of Promise Fortress. He just felt that Shoko Yusama and Maya Tomi confessed to him one after another, not only did they not quarrel, but they looked harmonious, which made his three views have been severely impacted.
"Hehe, I'm telling you, together." As they said, Shoko Yusama and Maya Tomi leaned close to Makabe Ikki's ear, "Promise Fortress, there is no monogamy~!"
"Eh? Eh!?" Makabe Ikki was shocked, "But...but this is also..."
"It's decided! Right? Shoko."
"Yeah! That's right!"
When Makabe Ikki was panicked, he wanted to pull his hand out, but Shoko Yusama and Maya Tomi held it tightly, not giving Makabe Ikki a chance. This is what Yulin taught them, love should be bolder and more active, and you can't give the other party a chance to escape!
No one noticed that the face of Minashiro Soushi beside him was a little gloomy. Maybe the moonlight was not bright enough, so no one noticed it. Maybe... because of Tomi Maya? Or maybe... because of Makabe Ikki?
Forget it, it's good this way. He can let go of some things in his heart. He put his expression and mood in order and continue to stay with his companions.
And Nishio Hui, who was mixed in the crowd, was even more disappointed. He always knew that Tomi Maya liked Makabe Ikki, but he was not without hope. After all, they had not really come together, but now... the dream was shattered. After whispering "Tomi Senior", he made a decision to hide that feeling in his heart and be a guardian in the shadows. At least... Tomi Maya can be happy.
...
"Soushi! Ikki! Are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time... huh? Shoko? Maya? And Ikki? You..." Not long after, the companions all came over. Seeing the three people holding hands, they were stunned, but also smiled with relief.
They grew up together, how could they not know about the things between them? Now that the battle is over, at the carnival celebrating the victory, they are happy to see that they finally get married.
Next, all that is left is...
"Swish~swish~swish~swish~..."
"Bang~bang~bang~bang~bang~..."
A large number of fireworks flew to the end of the night sky, blooming brilliantly, illuminating the night, illuminating the confusion in people's hearts, dispelling sadness, and pointing out the way forward. Yes, their choice is simple, follow the path of their ancestors, go a longer distance, and continue the current happiness.
