Anything in the World [Private]

"Hello Iza. This is Elyx. And I know I missed your birthday the other day, and I figured how much of an asshole it was of me to do that. And so I decided to make it up to you with a cute little puzzle I made. Well, in my guild, we call these treasure hunts. At the bottom should be a lot of shapes below, squares, triangles, octogons, and those sort of things. I'll give you a few hints. And if you don't find the gift I have for you, don't worry, I'll tell you. 'The gold is placed here, marked with two strokes. Provided you are able to do the math, you should be just fine.' Well, that was pretty much it. I hope you find it! Oh! Why am I doing this? Well, it's just because I am a little bit too embarrassed to give you this in person. Am I ashamed of that? Now as much as I should be. Good luck love!

And like that, the letter would be on Iza's blanket. So easy to sneak paper onto her when she was asleep. It was the morning, but he was very excited to carry this out. He was now at his own house, sitting by the side of his bed. Under it would be the gift he had for her, two of them, three if an additional little paper counted. Oh how he could not wait for her to find it. He would remain sitting by the side of the bed with a smile on his face as he was humming. Ignite was still sleep as well, which was fortunate since that meant she witnessed nothing. The shape was "X", and X was located right where Elyx's room was. From there, she can ransack the whole place.

Well, though he was unable to sense her with her magic power, there was still the fact that he was a slayer. And due to this, he had amplified senses, such as smell for example. On a normal occasion, she had a sweet sort of smell, like vanilla. On top of that, there was a little trace of forest leaves in her scent, expected from the tanuki, but nothing that was too out of the ordinary. His light brown eyes would look towards her direction from where she was coming from before she went in for the surprise attempt. It was a nice try, but unfortunately for her, she was not completely concealed. So in response, the Sky Slayer would catch her in the embrace. Morning~ His voice a bit playful was he knew what she was trying to go for. Another attempt was going to have to be made at a later time, but not currently. The moment was all too important. Looking over, he'd notice that Ignite was no longer in bed. How she was able to escape from his sight without him noticing was beyond him, but nothing that he would not question. The most he could do in a situation like that was accept the fact that she was Ignite Rosella. Most likely, she was searching through her magazines and rereading them. The poor thing needed some new ones, but... There were no new ones. Maybe it was time to buy her a rifle.

Priorities first. Provided she stop hugging him, he'd also let her go so that her feet would touch the ground once again. He'd sit himself back onto the side of the bed, both arms stretched out and downwards as his palms laid out against the bedsheet. Well, I decided to give you a little gift for your birthday, since I missed it a while ago. You just now have to search for it. There were three gifts actually. It took a lot of time to get them. First, he needed to go over to Fey and have him craft the closest to perfect diamond that he could. It took days to carry this out. During those days, he looked around for a wedding dress for the tanuki. This involved looking around her room and seeing what size she was. This was a lot more difficult than one would expect since the tanuki was everywhere. And finally, he would have a card with a note there. It was written in the best ink that he had, and it took five tries to not get any errors on the thing. All of those were under his bed, and all she had to do was look for them. When she got to the letter, he will read the words that he spent hours memorizing that he placed onto the card, so as her eyes scanned it, she can hear his voice telling her about the proposal that he had for her. Again, he was rather shy to tell her about it in person, so he figured she might as well be the one to look for it.

She took his challenge without a fight, all according to plan. If there was one thing that he had learned about her in their nearly year-long relationship, it was that she has a craving for incentives. Somehow, the Lerale mage felt that this was not going to disappoint. It required her to look under his head, which he did not mind the slightest, since the most that could be found there was his Violin case and a folder. That aside from the real gifts of course, and Elyx was half-sure that she would be able to tell the difference. Or perhaps she might steal his instrument, and then make a not to steal something from her later on. However, she seemed to have her eyes on the real target, and following those curious pink eyes of hers, he had a good clue as to what she was looking at. Admittedly, the moment was far too sudden, and a small slap of red would brush against his cheeks as he would begin to speak the words written on the piece of paper.

To think it has been nearly a year since your birthday, quite silly of me. They say that a Tanuki is a fun and loving creature, loyal to themselves and those they consider themselves. I myself am a Lerale, who loves to spread music and pour my heart out to those who listen. You have done much more than listen but you took the heart as a whole, and ever since you have had it... I came to a simple conclusion. I would give you anything in the world Izayuki, but first, I would give you my last name... Marry me... Izayuki...

Each word rolling off of his tongue so fluently, as if connecting a voice to a slur as he did a scale. Such confidence spoken behind each one, he could not help but feel a sudden chill at the end of his monologue. How Izayuki reacts would determine the result of his efforts, what he had been aiming for from the start. If she were to look at the back of the letter, she would find her diamond ring behind it. And of course, the wedding dress was still in the box.

The face of the Baketanuki was just beautiful as the tears of joy would well up on her face, he would have his small smile equipped and his light brown eyes halfway closed. However, he was unable to predict a Tanuki, and he was definitely unable to predict a lady and her actions. So to suddenly spring and hug him, she would be very much successful as she would make the official declaration for the sake of their love. It was all that they needed, the two words of approval that would seal their wedding date. And there they were, strung off the lips of the Tanuki as she would then declare one more statement on top of that. The three common words of a relationship that meant a lot to those who felt it. That was them now, soon to be husband and wife. There was only one thing left for him to do now, and that was for the brunette lerale mage to return the favor to the lady that he loved. Before that, he would make sure to be looking into her light-pink eyes, his own brown ones half-closed in a collected manner, but expressed much emotion as the reflection of the light would allow his eyes to playfully glow. In the end, he would then reciprocate what had been said. While the Wedding dress and ring were material, their love was spiritual, something to ignite from the spark that was their first encounter, the flame that was their rivalry, and ignition that was their love. I love you too... Izayuki... Soon to be Reiaki.
