"It's best to keep a distance. Lord Xifang has a very sharp intuition. It would be troublesome if he were discovered by accident."

Kasumigaoka Utaha answered Sawamura Eriri cautiously. Gokou Ruri, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something and asked, "Are you following Higashikata-senpai?"

"To be precise, it was about tracking him and the fairy."

Upon hearing Eriri's answer, Gokou Ruri was stunned, her wine-red pupils widening. Could it be that Dongfang Bai and Yamada Elf were secretly going on a date outside the villa at night?!

"Remember what I said this morning? Those two went out secretly yesterday. We must find out the truth today."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was in a half-squatting position, glancing occasionally at Dongfang Bai, who was quite far away. The distance was deliberately kept so as not to be noticed by Dongfang Bai.

They knew how outrageous Dongfang Bai's intuition was; it was almost like a superpower.

"So that's how it is..."

Ruri Gokou understood the situation and slowly nodded. It seemed that being dragged into this was the right thing to do. Actually, she was also a little curious to see what the relationship between the two really was...

"Could they have already confessed their feelings to each other?" Eriri whispered, one hand on her hip.

This statement was immediately refuted by Kasumigaoka Utaha: "No way, if the two of them had already confirmed their relationship, given Fairy's personality, they would probably have announced it already. Why would they keep it a secret..."

Yes, this flag is planted very securely.

"In any case, let's see how things go first."

Ruri Gokou peeked out slightly, glanced at Higashikata Bai and Yamada Elf in the distance, and suddenly asked, "Where are they planning to go?"

"I don't know, they seem to be heading deeper into the forest."

"A grove of trees?!" Eriri's pretty face instantly flushed red; clearly, this 18+ doujinshi artist had misunderstood.

"You should stop drawing that stuff. What's on your head all day?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering. Her tone made no attempt to hide her mockery of Eriri, making the latter even more ashamed.

"The Poem of Kasumigaoka..."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Eriri was just about to retort to Kasumigaoka Utaha when Gokou Ruri covered her mouth. They were currently on a tracking mission, so how could they make any noise? It would be troublesome if they were noticed.

"Um……?"

Dongfang Bai raised his left eyebrow. He thought he had just heard Eriri's voice. It shouldn't be his imagination. Besides, he had always felt like someone was following him. So there really was someone behind him...

Oh well, let them follow. I'm not doing anything shameful anyway...

"Bai, what's wrong?"

Yamada Elf, who had been walking beside him, noticed that Dongfang Bai had frowned and asked him about it with some curiosity. He simply replied, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."

Yamada Elf blushed. Was he thinking about what was going to happen next? What if he was right?!

"By the way, Bai, is there something you wanted to ask me to go for a walk with you...?"

"What, can't I come out with you if there's nothing wrong?"

Dongfang Bai smiled slightly, but this only made Yamada Elf more puzzled. This guy must have something on his mind. She had a clue what it was, but she didn't know if she was right.

"Ugh! Those two look so intimate..."

Eriri Sawamura, standing behind, gritted her teeth slightly. Her small silver fangs were clearly visible even in the dim forest. They had been following them, but they had deliberately kept a great distance, so it was impossible for them to hear what the two in front of them were talking about.

What are they talking about?

Ruri Gokou frowned and asked. She couldn't hear her at all from that distance, so she could only ask Kasumigaoka Utaha for help. Utaha pondered for two seconds and didn't rush to speak.

“I know a little bit about lip reading. Just now, it seemed like Mr. Xi was saying something like ‘together with you’?”

"With you?!"

Eriri was shocked. Could their relationship have progressed to this point? She was the one who met Dongfang Bai first!

"This is really..."

Ruri Gokou frowned as well. These words sounded like something a couple would say. If Dongfang Bai really said something like that, then their relationship was most likely...

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, let's follow up until the end."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gently bit her thumbnail, seemingly deep in thought. The three of them exchanged glances and continued following, determined to see what was going on until the very end.

So the scene inexplicably changed to Dongfang Bai and Yamada Elf walking ahead, while three girls followed far behind, each step extremely cautious, afraid of being discovered.

However, they did not expect that they had already been discovered by Dongfang Bai, because they had no tracking skills at all, so how could they possibly hide it from Dongfang Bai?

"It's just ahead."

Dongfang Bai chuckled lightly. After about ten minutes, the two finally arrived at the "Lake of Light Spirits" in the very center of the "Fairy Forest" that the fairy had brought him to earlier. Although the name was indeed quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), it was strangely fitting.

"It's still very beautiful here."

"Hmph~ Of course!"

Yamada Elf put her hands on her hips and proudly puffed out her chest. This was her secret hideout, and she would be happy no matter how many times she was praised.

"Alright, now that we're here, let's get down to business."

"Huh?!"

Yamada Elf was startled by Dongfang Bai's words, then her face turned as red as a burning cloud, instantly flushing red to the tips of her ears. Was Dongfang Bai finally going to reveal the purpose of bringing her here?!

Click.

The three people behind them were also startled. They had just been immersed in the beautiful lake filled with fireflies. Now that they were closer, they could hear what Dongfang Bai was saying, so they were naturally stunned when they heard this sentence.

Chapter Three is really a marriage proposal?! [Please subscribe automatically]

"Seriously?!"

Eriri Sawamura was stammering, unsure of what to say. No matter how shocked she was inside, she couldn't make a sound, otherwise she would be easily discovered.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say a word, just stared intently in the direction of Dongfang Bai.

"Emily".

"Yes!"

Dongfang Bai looked at Yamada Fairy with a serious expression, and his earnest tone made her involuntarily become serious as well.

He just called out 'Emily,' right?! In this environment, especially during his parents' proposal, for him to suddenly and seriously call her by her real name... that means...

Yamada Elf's mind went blank. If you touched her cheek, you would find that her body temperature had risen due to excessive shyness, and her cheeks were truly flushed.

Even when she accidentally kissed him, Yamada Elf had never been this unsettled.

"Um……"

Dongfang Bai smiled slightly, then took out a small black box from his pocket. The box was about the size of a palm, and usually, such a square box would only contain one item.

"puff……!"

Eriri Sawamura almost choked to death. Something seemed off. She had secretly followed them to see what their secret date was about, but it seemed she had stumbled upon something terrible.

"This, this posture, could it be...?"

Even Gokou Ruri's otherwise calm expression changed. She stared wide-eyed at Dongfang Bai with disbelief in her wine-red pupils. Something was definitely wrong.

"Hmm, it looks like a marriage proposal no matter how you look at it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was much calmer. Although she appeared quite calm on the surface, she was suppressing the urge to stand up. How could he propose before they had even started confirming their relationship?

Wait a minute, she remembered that fairies weren't even eighteen years old, so there was no way they could get married!

At this moment, the four girls, Yamada Elf, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and Gokou Ruri, all thought of the word 'marriage proposal' at the same time, and they couldn't help but think about that.

There's no way around it, what kind of person would deliberately call a girl to such a beautiful place late at night, and then carefully pull out this little box from their pocket? Could it really contain a wedding ring?!

Just as everyone was watching Dongfang Bai, he finally spoke again.

“Emily…it’s a bit early, but…”

"Stop! Stop!!"

Before Dongfang Bai could finish speaking, Eriri rushed out uncontrollably. This time, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't hold her back. Dongfang Bai had expected her to rush out, but the fairy was the one who was startled.

"Eriri?! What are you doing here?"

"I saw you two sneaking out late at night and it seemed suspicious, so I followed you to check it out, and I ended up stumbling upon this..."

Eriri glared at Dongfang Bai, but she didn't really mind. If Dongfang Bai really proposed, she wouldn't be as angry as usual, because she knew his family situation best.

Given the Dongfang family's financial situation, and the fact that Dongfang Bai is the only descendant, it's quite normal for him to marry several women. Perhaps it's also because of Sawamura Sayuri's influence on her upbringing that Eriri had already come to terms with it five years ago.

If this blonde twin-tailed girl were really angry, it would probably be because she wasn't the first person Dongfang Bai said he liked, and she was just a little jealous.

"This is really..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Gokou Ruri figured that since Eriri had already gone out, they might as well go out too, so they left the bushes and walked towards the group.

"Wait, let me explain!!"

Dongfang Bai remained completely calm, while Yamada Elf was in a panic. She frantically waved her hands, trying to explain something, but couldn't come up with anything after a long time.

"Westward Lord, how could you actually lay a hand on a junior high student?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned as she looked at Dongfang Bai. Could this guy have some kind of unusual fetish?

"What do you mean by 'doing it'? I'm just celebrating the fairy's birthday..." Dongfang Bai's lips twitched, and his words shut them up.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········

"I originally wanted to keep it from you, but since you've come all the way here, let's celebrate with the fairy together."

Dongfang Bai smiled and opened the small black box. What was inside was not a 'wedding ring' at all, but just a ruby ​​necklace, which made things even more confusing.

Not a marriage proposal?

"What the hell?!"

Finally, Eriri Sawamura couldn't help but shout out due to the huge contrast. She looked so serious, thinking she was witnessing a marriage proposal, but it turned out to be a birthday celebration.

Happy birthday, fairy.

Dongfang Bai smiled and handed the small box to the fairy. The fairy smiled and smiled. Although it was completely different from what she had imagined, her joy was not diminished much. She was just a little disappointed.
