Sora pov: Azkichi hugged me tightly, tears streaming down her face. "I'm so happy!" She declared that I couldn't help but cry as well; this was something we wanted for awhile.

"What's going on?" A-chan asked

"So Asuka "You see, Azkichi and I have done some very idol-like things, and now we are here," I said.

She tilted her head to the side, but then her eyes widened in shock. "Wait...you're—" She paused and all I could do was nod She gasped with excitement, "Congratulations!" She said

"Yeah, Mikochi definitely can't find out about this." Sui-chan said

"Congratulations!" Robochi said

"Thank you, Robochi!" Azki and I said

"Awww, you two are adorable," Nodoka said.

I gently petted Azkichi's head, leaned down, and kissed her forehead.

"I don't know how to feel in this scenario." Mito-chan said

"Mito, you can feel however you want to feel; nothing is stopping you; besides, even if you are mad, I'm just happy you are here," I said.

"You really are a kind soul." Mito-chan said

"You should probably lie down in bed, Sora," Nari suggested.

"Alright," I said.

Azkichi helped me up. "She can sleep in my bed." Sui-chan suggested Azkichi agree, and so she brought me back to the kitchen.

"Anemachi, you can wake Mikochi up as soon as Sora-chan is secured in my room, and you don't need to have tight surveillance on her." Sui-chan said

"Okay," Anemachi replied.

Azkichi brought me to Sui-chan's old room and placed me on the king-size bed. She crawled in beside me and began to tightly hug me.

"Do you need anything?" Sui-chan asked me

"Some water would be nice," I replied.

"Toko-chan, get her water," Sui-chan said.

Toko nodded and ran out of the room. I noticed Mito was here too. I waved to her, and she waved back. About a minute later, Toko came back with water, placing it on the nightstand beside me.

"Mikochi is running rampant, asking where Sora is." Toko-chan said

"Ugh. Don't worry if she comes in; I'll just decapitate her easily," Sui-chan said while sharpening her axe.

"To be honest, that's a little hardcore, don't you think?" Azki asked

"Well yeah, but at the same time, it's Mikochi." Sui-chan said

Robochi came into the room and sat down next to Sui-chan and Mito-chan. "Mikochi is fighting Anemachi." She said

"Can this girl not do things for two seconds?" Sui-chan asked

"No, A-chan is dealing with her now; she is telling her that Sora-chan and Azki-san went out to get some medication, and she said she wants to go, so hopefully that'll take her a long while," Roboco said.

"What happens if it doesn't work?" Sui-chan asked

Roboco didn't answer; however, San did: "We kind of promised that you'd go on a date with her." She said

"I'm going to kill you." Sui-chan seethed

I saw a dark aura emanating from her as she grinded her teeth in fury.

"A single date won't kill you," Roboco said.

"Look, I'm going to take a page out of my father's book about alternate universes. In one universe, I may be head over heels for Mikochi, but in this universe, I love Toko-chan!" Sui-chan yelled

"Yeah, it's kind of messed up that you promised that," I commented.

"Sorry, Sora-chan, but Asuka and I agreed on it." Roboco said

"Well, I guess if A-chan agreed on it." Sui-chan mumbled

"It's okay, Sui-chan, you can go on a date with Miko." Toko-chan said

"I don't want that." Sui-chan scoffed

Toko-chan leaned over and pecked Sui-chan's lips softly.

"I don't want that either, but Mikochi will attack Azkichi if you don't do this; we just have to hope that it doesn't come to that." Toko-chan said

Sui-chan gently petted Toko-chan. "Good girl," she said.

I thought about it, and I started to feel bad. Sui-chan loves Toko-chan and doesn't want to go on a date with Mikochi; after all, she feels the same way about her as I do about business partners.

"I think you should promise something else," Azki said before I could say it.

"You are very nice to Sui-chan," Roboco said.

"Of course I love her; she is like a sister to me, and I don't want to see her upset after all; this is the first time she has ever experienced romantic love," Azkichi said.

"Yeah, I have had trouble loving people; attachment isn't really a thing for me, but Azki and Toko-chan showed me that maybe I can settle down with someone for the long term." Sui-chan said

Robocochi sighed and stood up. "Sui-chan, I will protect your love," she said.

"Thank you," Sui-chan said.

"So when are you and Toko-chan going to get engaged?" I asked

"I need to think about that more," Sui-chan said.

She didn't seem opposed to the fact that she was petting and nuzzling Toko-chan. This was a side of her that I wasn't used to seeing: she was spoiling Toko-chan. I never thought she would spoil someone as much as she does Toko-chan. She clearly does care about her, which made me happy.

"Sui-chan, can I clean your axe?" Toko-chan asked

"You can," Sui-chan said as she handed her the axe. Usually, she never trusts anyone with her axe other than Azki. This is a different Sui-chan than I'm used to.

Roboco returned and sat back down. "She's even angrier now," she commented.

"Well, who really cares?" Sui-chan asked

None of us said anything, honestly. I'm kind of tired right now. I gently closed my eyes, feeling Azki hold me tighter. When I wake up, I should be well rested, and then Azkichi and I can discuss some things. We have a lot to talk about.

"Goodnight," Azkichi whispered, letting me drift to sleep.
