Rei was brushing Irin's hair, as she sang the woman a lullaby. “Today is the day that you have been waiting for, My Lady.” Rei said, Irin only stared at her reflection on the mirror infront of her. “Everyone is at the palm of your mercy.” Irin smiled at Rei, “Yes.”

A woman with eyepatch entered the banquet hall, she was greeted by the priestess and the general of watatsumi. “Captain Beidou! You came!” Kokomi said excitedly, The captain grinned as she saw familiar faces; “Wouldn't want to  miss Kazuha's engagement.” people was going in the hall.

On the other side, The traveler, Heizou and Kazuha as well as Heizou's father was chatting. “Congratulations on your engagement, Young Kaedehara.” Heizou's father said as he pat the man's shoulder.

Many people have been invited on this occasion, But Kazuha wasn't having any of it. It felt like he is making the biggest mistake on his life, The Yamashita's butler came telling that Kazuha is needed for the entrance and Irin is waiting for her. “Excuse me.” Kazuha said as he fixed his yukata following the butler, When he got inside the room he saw Irin smiling at him.

His mind immediately thought of someone else— What would happened if you were alive? Will the occurrence of the sudden events such as this not happen? “Kazuha!” Irin smiled, Kazuha beamed a smile back at her the woman stands up from her seat as she hugged her soon to be betrothed, In which Kazuha hugged back but with a stoic expression on his face.

He feels something is not right. The woman infront of him, was she really the Irin he knew in the past? Confused, but Kazuha knew he couldn't also make a false judgement not until Heizou or Traveler finished the investigation regarding Y/N's disapppearance and most probably her death.

“Are you ready?” Kazuha said as he extended his hands for Irin to take, She grinned as she takes Kazuha's hands. “Yes..” She said. Kazuha and she prepared to go in the banquet hall to greet the people who attended their engagement ceremony.

On the second floor a masked woman as well as a woman with twin pigtails are observing the people down the hall, Ryu bought the two of them refreshments, In which mona happily took— Y/N however was holding a glass of wine on her hand. Observing some non and familiar faces, such as her old friends, acquiantances and... Heizou.

Mona gave a giggle, covering a hand on her mouth. “My so, my divination is really correct yesterday.” You gave her a glare.

Just then the two main character arrived, You saw your sister happily entering the room now you are reminded how your sister likea Kazuha in a young age, It makes you laugh. “Miss do we get the Lotus now?” You shook your head, “Give it to them when they're done doing their announcement, Mona come let's go down.” You said mona gave a sigh as she flips her hair.

“I sincerely thank you all for joining us celebrate this wonderful moment of us, You all are witnesses this day, Please enjoy yourselves tonight!” Irin said as she smiled, Kazuha only beamed a smile not saying a word. Suddenly a group of servants came in which made the people stop as well as Kazuha and Irin. They were holding different kinds of lotus flower, Irin had a bad feeling about it.

“Our Young lady sincerely congratulates your engagement Miss Yamishita.” A browned haired butler that wears a spectacle said, People started to murmur, Irin gave a chuckle. “Thank you, I might be bold to ask but who...?”

“We are from the Shimizu Household.” there were Different kinds of reaction.

“The shimizu clan? Oh! Then—”

“Wait who is that?” People's attention shifted to a woman who walked with a (H/C) short hair, and a woman with two twin pigtails that had gray orbs and blue locks. “Apologies if we are late something came on the way.” The woman with dark blue hair said, she had eyes like stars looking like beauty that was almost not that common known in inazuma. “Oh.. are you perhaps?” Irin said.
