Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Quick Confession

Mumei pov: I watched as Selen and Pomu stood there like statues. We didn't have time for this; she needs to hurry up and confess. I'm not sure how long our Selen dummy will fool Elira, if at all.

"Hey..."  Selen and Pomu said nervously

Are you kidding? Why in the hell are they so nervous, and how can't they tell if the other likes them? I questioned myself.

Kronii and Fauna approached me, and they began to drag me into the cabin.

"Why are we here?" I asked

"You are changing as soon as Sana gets here," Kronii said.

"I need to see the confession!" I said

"Well, you also need to change," Fauna stated.

I can't argue with the fact that I did want to change since I suggested it.

Sana came out of a wormhole with my outfit. I looked at it and smirked.

"Thank you, Sana," I said softly.

I took a good look at the clothes, thinking about how I could change in front of all of them... I slowly took off my clothes, handing them to Fauna, who promptly threw them into a new wormhole.

I saw I had red berry earrings, a black choker, and a gold necklace with a rune. I had trouble reading it, but it spoke of fertility and new beginnings.

I slowly put on my reddish-colored t-shirt before putting on my white hoodie with brown shadows and gray undertones. I saw my long brown plaid pattern skirt sliding on seamlessly.

Also, I had glasses, which I promptly popped on and adjusted.

"I have new shoes, meimei!" Sana said as she handed me the brown and white shoes

I put those on with my other accessories before turning to Kronii and demanding, "Make my hair shorter, but like medium length."

She did as told, rewinding it until it was around the length I wanted. I then had Fauna style it the way I wanted.

"You look so cute!" Fauna cried as she hugged me.

"Fauna  "I want to hug her too!" Kronii whined

"Shut up, Kronii, I'm having her!" Fauna yelled

"Mumei-senpai, they literally aren't moving." Zeta stated

"Damn it," I growled.

I picked up my cloak that I left behind and handed it to Zeta. "Wear it if you want," I said. She happily put it on.

"Selen!"  I yelled, getting her attention.

She looked at me, and her jaw dropped.

"You are so cute!" She laughed

Pomu glared at me and puffed her cheeks up like she was pouting. I gave her a murderous look that put her in her place.

I ran up to Selen and punched her across the face.

"Wake up, dumbass, and talk!" I yelled

Selen looked at me, and she then glared at Pomu, "I'm not ready." Selen said

I backhanded her and then I grabbed the collar of her shirt and said, "Talk!" I yelled

"I don't think I can admit this to Pomu!" Selen cried

"Admit what?"   Pomu asked

I could tell her heart was beating quickly.

"Pomu I lo—" Selen paused for a moment.

"Selen I lo—" Pomu paused as well.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Kiara and I said it in unison.

"Spit it out." Zeta sighed

"Wait, say it at the same time!" I said

"I'll count to three," Kiara said.

The two of them nodded in response.

"One, two, three!" Kiara shouted

"I love you!" Selen and Pomu said in unison.

They looked at each other in shock, and they didn't know what to say.

"Come on, snap out of it, Selen," I said.

Both of them seemed to be in a trance.

"I think they had a heart attack," Calli said.

I rolled my eyes. I need to jump-start her heart.

"Wake up!"  I yelled as I kicked Selen to the ground.

"Mumei, what just happened?" Selen asked

"You confessed," I replied.

"And?" Selen said.

I looked at her in disbelief that she forgot, but I gave her a thumbs up, signifying that the confession went well.

"Pomu..."  Kiara sighed before pinching the fairy a tiny bit.

"I'm awake!!!"  Pomu shouted

"You two should go and talk about your feelings more," I suggested.

"Will do!"  The two agreed

Now that everything is settled, we should probably head out on our adventure. I just need to quickly pick something up. I don't want this to be an all-day thing.

How should we get there? Though, honestly, I'm not opposed to carrying Fauna and Kronii and flying, but we can also walk.

"Senpai, have fun!" Zeta said

"I'll be back, but before I do, I want you to do something with Kaela," I told her.

"What do you want me to do with Ela?" Zets asked

I whispered in her ear, and she looked at me, astonished by what I had said.

"Senpai, you didn't just tell me to do that!" Zeta said

"Well, I did," I giggled.

"Mumei, are you ready?" Fauna asked

"Yeah, give me a second!" I said

I walked up to Kaela, who looked at me calmly.

"You should take a nap," I told her.

"No, I'm fine, Mumei-senpai!" She sleepily said

"Sure you are anyways. I want you to do something while I'm gone," I told her.

I leaned in and whispered my idea into her ear, and she looked at me in shock.

"Senpai, you want me and Zeta to do that!?" She asked

"Correct!"  I happily stated

"It's time for us to go!" Kronii said

"Got it!"  I yelled

I left Zeta and Kaela dumbfounded, but I'm hoping something will happen if I push them along.

I reached Fauna and Kronii and had a thought.

"I'm tired!"  I told them

With those two words, they both swept me up and held me up in the sky.

I can't say I don't like this, but I had them put me down. I want to travel on foot for now, and then in the end we'll see if I want to speed things up.
