The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 82 [Michael's Decree ]
Aqua wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. There's something strange. There's no one next to him. Mika usually sleeps with him.
"Mika...?"
Aqua turned her head around, the curtains of their balcony open. A girl stood there, staring at the moon with an incomprehensible look. Slowly as if nothing had happened, her tears flowed slightly without changing her expression.
"!"
Like the story of Kaguya who missed the moon, the girl looked at the moon with a similar feeling. Aqua undoes her intention of going to the toilet and approaches the girl.
"Can't sleep?" ask Aqua softly.
Mika slightly flinched with Aqua's voice. But calm down immediately.
".... No."
"What's wrong? Just tell. Don't hold everything yourself."
The boy wrapped a blanket over Mika's body.
"Thank you..."
None of them spoke. Just quietly look at the moon while waiting for each other.
Suddenly Mika's tears flowed even more profusely. Aqua did not know what to do to see her, pulling Mika into the child's arms. Aqua's body is now taller than Mika despite being physically 3 years younger.
Aqua's hand gently rubbed Mika's hair. This child allowed himself to be a place where Mika's mental lean is not okay.
"It's okay. I'm here..."
Mika's fingers tightly grasped Aqua's back. The girl's whole body was trembling.
"Aqua... I'm afraid." he said trembling.
"........"
Aqua chose to quietly listen to Mika carefully. There was no point commenting on the girl in the current situation.
"I just thought about it. Recently... Because I finally have time to think about it..."
"About all this.. I don't understand!! What am I supposed to do??! Do I... have to rejoin.... with my other self...?"
"But then... What if I lose my present self...? I'm afraid I'm afraid of losing myself by joining. I'm afraid of losing all my feelings now..."
"!!!"
Aqua was really shocked now. She did not expect Mika would express her feelings to him at this moment, in this situation. On the one hand he was happy because Mika felt the same as him. But on the other hand he was also confused to answer Mika.
Aqua's embrace tightened until it slammed Mika's entire face and body in her arms.
"I knew Ruby for a moment. I thought she was the girl who pityed her future like that, so I helped her without any other intention. But I think he is a good boy who likes to hold his own problems," said Aqua in silence.
"I knew Yue for quite a while. She really is a little girl who is full of energy and very cheerful. That spoiled and childish nature reminded me of my little sister. Even though she was like that, Yue was a girl who cared about her friends more than herself."
"Mika. even if you join them and become one person in common, you will not lose yourself. As well as Yue and Ruby, they would not lose themselves either."
"Pampered and childish nature (Yue), calm and patient (Ruby), as well as smart adults and a little ignorant (Mika), it's all part of you."
"Whatever your choice, be it joining or staying apart, I'll respect it."
"One thing is certain. Whatever you are, whatever your form and nature may be, no matter how many times we die and are reborn, I will still love you."
Mika's face blushed so red upon hearing Aqua say that. The girl took off Aqua's embrace and shifted her gaze so that her face would not be seen by Aqua.
"You can say embarrassing things just like that..."
"š¢"
I want it to feel like Aqua pinched Mika's cheek right now. Though he had already ventured into saying that to calm the trembling Mika. But Mika's response was to mock her.
"........."
"But..."
"....... Th-thank you... I'm glad to hear it."
Aqua's entire annoyance disappeared instantly when she saw Mika holding onto her clothes with a crimson face. The girl still did not dare to look at Aqua. Even so, just with that alone was enough to make Aqua stunned and slightly flushed.
Her hand moved on its own, gently rubbing Mika's hair.
"Sama-sama," he said with a sincere smile.
"..... W-When that is!!! Come back!!!"
Mika ran in and jumped straight into the bed. He pulled the blanket over and covered his entire body and face which was still red.
Aqua blinked a few times.
"He's running away."
As soon as Aqua was on the 1st floor, her left hand held onto the wall. His body slumped downwards, his right hand covering his face which began to turn red. While glancing slightly upwards, Aqua started to rethink her words and actions earlier.
"What the fuck was that...?! Aghh!!! What did I say just now?!!!" shy Aqua.
"After thinking about it again.. earlier it was really embarrassing!!!!!"
"How do I face Mika tomorrow!!?"
Aqua came out of her cabin. His chest continued to beat. He would not be able to go back to sleep next to Mika at this time. After making sure there were no people around, Aqua took out her wings and flew quite a distance away from the hut.
A forest not far from Aqua became a place of impingement.
"What a coincidence, this fucking insect forest is here. I'm sorry, please make sacrifices so that my peace returns!!" he grinned evilly.
That night will be recorded in the history of the Magic Continent. Due to the vast insect forest, the Insect Nest Forest disappeared from the map in just one night.

Morning, The Next Day
Mika yawns as she descends the stairs. A variety of breakfast menus are available at the dinner table. Not far from there, a teenage boy was brewing tea with his elegance.
"Good morning!" exclaimed the boy as soon as he saw Mika in his eyes.
The Mika Captain turned around quickly. His face immediately flushed red from the thought of last night's incident.
"Pa-morning..."
Mika tries not to look at Aqua and does not let Aqua look at her face. It felt like he wanted to dig a hole and immerse his face in it. Just like Aqua, Mika also thought carefully about the incident last night while she was alone on the bed. On that very night, Mika had already made a decision for herself and her other self. The rest just met his other self and discussed it with them.
Mika was annoyed to see Aqua acting as usual. It's like last night never happened. The girl puffed her cheeks.
"Aqua!"
"Yes?" aqua replied while sipping her tea.
"Are we dating now?" ask Mika bluntly.
"Puffftt... Uhuk! Uhuk!"
Aqua spouted her tea in surprise at Mika's question. Though he had tried to calm his heart, but Mika was talking about it now.
While wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, the boy answered Mika.
"No."
"Eh?!" shock Mica.
The girl thought their relationship had finally become clear after such a long time. Mika has been waiting for Aqua to shoot him for a long time, various codes have been given, but the results are nil. Now that they've expressed feelings to each other, they're not even?
Aqua glanced at Mika who looked in shock. The boy laughed and saw it. Aqua walked over to Mika. After he stood right in front of her, Aqua flicked Mika's forehead softly.
"God...."
"Stupid. We're engaged. Do you still need an unclear relationship like dating?"
"!"
Mika's face again blushed red. She nodded with her sweet smile. It made Aqua slightly flushed as well.
"Let's have breakfast! We should go to Aranyu City today," Aqua asked.
"OK!!!"
