The Shards of War: Ascension and Secrets

Chapter 28

The next day, Matsu awoke with a sense of contentment, even though the dream had been bittersweet. He went about his morning routine, and as he was having breakfast, he received a call from Calie and Marie.

"Good morning, Matsu!" they chimed in unison.

"Good morning to you both. What's up?" Matsu replied.

"We were thinking," Calie began, "we should have a little outing today. Just the three of us."Marie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we've been so busy with our schedules, and we want some quality time together."

Matsu's heart warmed at the idea. "That sounds wonderful. I'd love to spend the day with both of you. What do you have in mind?"

They shared their plans for a day at the amusement park, complete with thrilling rides, games, and delicious treats. It sounded like a perfect way to relax and enjoy each other's company.

Matsu agreed eagerly. "Count me in. I'll meet you at the park later. It's a date!"

As they exchanged excited words, the prospect of a fun-filled day with Calie and Marie lifted Matsu's spirits. The dreams of asking for their hands in marriage might remain dreams for now, but moments like these were just as precious.

Then Matsu considered an idea for a moment and then suggested, "You know, it might be a good idea for us to wear disguises. We're all too recognizable in our normal state, and I'd like us to have some privacy for a change."

Calie and Marie thought about it and then nodded in agreement. "That sounds like a good plan," Calie said. "We can have a day where we're just normal people having fun."Marie added, "It'll be a nice change of pace, and we can enjoy the park without causing a commotion."

Matsu smiled, appreciating their understanding. "Great. Let's meet up somewhere nearby in our disguises, and we'll have an unforgettable day."

They quickly agreed on the meeting spot, and the excitement for their outing continued to grow. As they finalized their plans, Matsu couldn't help but feel grateful for the special bond he shared with Calie and Marie. It was moments like these that made life truly extraordinary.

Then matsu hanged up the call and shard is teased him about how he was thinking about proposing to the two of them the previous night and now he's going out on a date with them, are the gods telling him that he should get closer to Calie and Marie.

Matsu couldn't help but chuckle at Shard's teasing as he replied, "I don't think the gods work in such mysterious ways, Shard. It's just a fun outing with friends, nothing more."

Shard, always the mischievous spirit, persisted, "Oh, come on, Matsu! You can't deny that the idea crossed your mind. Maybe it's a sign!"

Matsu sighed, shaking his head, "You and your wild theories. It's just a dream I had, nothing more."

Shard laughed playfully, "Well, who knows? Maybe your dream will come true one day."

Matsu gave Shard a knowing look before changing the subject. As much as he cherished the idea of proposing to Calie and Marie, he knew it was a decision that would require much more thought and consideration. For now, he was content with their upcoming outing and looked forward to creating beautiful memories with his beloved friends.

Matsu put away the teasing thoughts and got ready for his day out with Calie and Marie. He knew it would be a wonderful day, regardless of the romantic notions that had crossed his mind the night before.

As he drove to their meeting point, he couldn't help but smile, thinking about the laughter and fun they would share during their adventure together. Deep down, he knew he didn't need to propose to express his love for Calie and Marie; their bond was already unbreakable.
