The dawn was quiet, but it carried the resonance of infinite worlds at peace. Cherry blossoms drifted lazily through the Mitsuyo estate, each petal catching the first rays of light, reflecting not just beauty, but the calm that only true understanding could bring.
Kyuroto Mitsuyo stood in the central garden, Yixia beside him. Everything else—the city, the floating megacities, the infinite galaxies he had once protected silently—felt secondary in this moment. Here, in this fleeting space, there was only them.
A Declaration of the Heart
Kyuroto turned to Yixia, piercing blue eyes soft but unwavering. "Yixia… from the first moment I saw you, I knew. Across all probabilities, across every possible timeline, across infinite worlds… you are the only beautiful girl for me. The only one."
Yixia blinked, words caught in her throat, overwhelmed by the sincerity in his gaze.
He reached into the folds of his coat and pulled out a delicate ring, set with a gem that seemed to capture light from every star in the outerverse. "This… is more than a promise. It is a bond. Across worlds, across realities… I choose you. Always."
Gifts of Eternity
Before Yixia could respond, Kyuroto gently placed the ring on her finger. Then he reached for a necklace, delicate but radiating subtle energy, woven from his outerversal essence, yet safe and human in touch.
"I want you to carry this," he said softly, fastening it around her neck. "Not as a symbol of power, not as a gift from the heir of the Mitsuyo Clan… but as a reminder… that you are cherished, deeply, fully, endlessly."
Yixia's eyes shimmered. "Kyuroto… I… I don't know what to say…"
He smiled faintly, brushing a lock of her hair from her face. "You don't have to say anything. Let this moment… be ours. Let it exist outside expectation, outside destiny. Just you and me."
A Hug Beyond Worlds
Then, Kyuroto pulled her close, hugging her gently but firmly. Around them, the world seemed to pause. Cherry blossoms froze mid-air, the city lights dimmed softly, and even the distant galaxies seemed to shimmer in acknowledgment.
"This is our truth," he whispered. "No crowns. No multiverses. No destinies. Just us. I will protect you, not because I must, but because I want to. Always."
Yixia rested her head against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart—a pulse that had once measured probability, now measuring love, trust, and humanity.
The Estate's Quiet Approval
Kyuroto's grandmother approached quietly, her presence serene. She watched them for a moment, eyes soft with pride, then nodded. No words were needed. The approval was silent but absolute, a final blessing for a life intertwined with love, compassion, and responsibility.
Even beyond the estate, somewhere, the Grandfather of Kyuroto Mitsuyo observed, unseen, silent—but approving. The legacy of the Mitsuyo Clan was secure, not through domination or fear, but through love, wisdom, and choice.
Closing Moments
Kyuroto pulled back slightly, looking into Yixia's eyes one last time. "The outerverse, the galaxies, the civilizations… I have protected them all. But it is here, with you, that I am truly complete."
Yixia smiled, tears glimmering in her eyes. "And I… I am yours, forever."
Kyuroto's smile widened, soft but certain. "Forever."
The cherry blossoms swirled around them, pink and white, black and gold, a dance of infinity.
No thrones were raised. No power was displayed.
Only love. Only choice. Only the quiet promise of two hearts beating in unison—beyond worlds, beyond time, beyond all else.
