"hehe."

......

“Kazehaya always feels like he owes her something,” Kato Megumi said calmly.

"Yes, because a lot of unhappiness was actually caused by me." Nomiyama looked to the side.

Over the years, she seemed to say nothing; whatever she did, she simply offered quiet support.

"I know, Kazehaya." Kato Megumi took his hand, gently squeezed it, and met his gaze.

"I know what Kazehaya is thinking most of the time."

She turned to his side and leaned on his shoulder, whispering, "Logically, I should say something to put Kazehaya at ease and stop dwelling on those things, but I don't want to say anything. Kazehaya is very smart and understands me well, so he's always known, hasn't he?"

She raised her face, smiling brightly: "I'm deliberately maintaining this state so that Kazehaya can give me more."

The starry sky was completely silent, except for that familiar voice that I had heard for many years. But this time it was not gentle as water, but rather carried a clear sense of joy and cunning.

Nomiyama blinked, thinking her smile was rather beautiful, so he leaned in and gave her a quick kiss.

They've been together for so long, and they're all too smart; they're already fully aware of each other's thoughts, but they're all pretending not to.

Seeing how happy she was, Nomiyama felt that one kiss wasn't enough.

“No, Kazehaya.” Kato Megumi saw the eagerness in his eyes and chose to refuse. “We’ve come all this way to the moon, we need to be romantic.”

Nomiyama calmed his desires and, after thinking for a while, said, "I should have come years ago, but I always thought about next time, and then I suddenly realized that a long time had passed."

Kato Megumi looked into his eyes, then looked away and leaned on his shoulder again.

The promise to go to the moon together actually dates back to when I was sixteen, seven years ago.

Her voice softened again: "Kazehaya, is this what Lucy saw back then?"

Lucy, the female protagonist in Cyberpunk: The Edgewalker, made a promise with the male protagonist to go to the moon together, but the male protagonist died. In the final scene of the story, she is the only one standing on the lunar surface, embracing the sunlight.

Nomiyama looked up at the sun overhead, which was piercing his eyes: "Perhaps."

Looking down at the Earth that filled most of his field of vision, and the darkness surrounding it, he sighed, "How lonely I am."

Kato Megumi knew he was referring to that sphere, that enormous planet that made one's pupils constrict instinctively, yet which was merely a lonely object suspended in the starry sky.

She began to wonder: "Fengzao, Xinghai is so big, how are you and Xuewan going to walk such a long distance?"

“Tear open space,” Nomiyama explained. “The human body cannot exceed the speed of light, and the speed of light is too slow. Therefore, for long-distance travel, tearing open space is simpler than traveling at the speed of light. If you want to cross the sea of stars, you can only tear open space and go to the other side of the galaxy in one step.”

"Besides, you need a sufficiently large range of perception to help find life, and you need to be strong enough to deal with dangerous creatures you encounter, but for me, I don't think there is anything that can threaten my life."

As he spoke, Nomiyama extended his left hand, and a ball of light floated in his palm.

Kato Megumi stared curiously at the sphere of light that was constantly distorting space, asking, "What is this?"

Nomiyama glanced at his head, then at the orb of light in his hand: "The sun. I just created a fake fireball that looks just like the sun and hung it there, then I took the real sun."

Kato Megumi opened her eyes wide, then said helplessly, "Kazehaya, don't say such exaggerated things."

Nomiyama placed the sun in his palm back where it belonged: "That's about it. The starry sea witnessed my birth, and in a sense, I feel right at home here."

“But that’s not important.” Nomiyama leaned over and rested his head on her hair. “Is it pretty here? I told you before that I would take you to see the moon, but I’ve never been up here myself. This morning I was thinking that it would be terrible if it wasn’t pretty.”

"If it doesn't look good, I feel like I've let down the expectations I've had for so many years."

“It’s beautiful, I mean it.” Kato Megumi rubbed her head against his cheek. “Yeah, it really feels so lonely. Such a beautiful planet, but it’s just hanging alone in the darkness. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it? It’s so big, such a big planet. If I were in Chiba and looked up and saw such a big planet, I would definitely think that the Earth was going to be smashed to pieces.”

“Then we’ll commit suicide together. I’ll take you to the mountains. There are lots of people lying there, so you definitely won’t be lonely,” Nomiyama suggested.

"But Kazehaya will protect me then. Suicide pacts are so difficult," Kato Megumi sighed. "What exactly does it feel like to commit suicide for love? I always want to try it. Yukinoshita tried it, and Yukito-nee tried it in a sense, and so did I..."

"Don't try it, don't try it." Nomiyama said with a bitter face, "Let's wait at least another thousand years. I haven't had enough of Megumi's cooking yet. I want to eat it for a long time."

Kato Megumi lifted her shoulder and looked at him with a lingering gaze: "Is eating for a thousand years enough?"

“Not enough, not enough, at least…” Nomiyama Asae waved her hand, preparing to give time.

He paused for a moment, then put his hand down and asked cautiously, "Can I keep eating like this? I think I can live a very long time. Hui will take care of lunch, and I can prepare breakfast and dinner."

Kato Megumi looked at him for a while, then leaned back against him again, continuing to gaze at the light blue planet, and said softly, "Let's go together. Anyway, Kaze is lazy and doesn't want to go to work, so we can prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day."

She continued, "I can cook noodles too, and lately I feel they taste better than the noodles Fengzao cooks."

Nomiyama's voice was more impassioned: "Nonsense, I'm an amazing noodle cook, it's definitely better than Megumi's."

"Ok?"

"Hui's noodles are probably tastier."

Nomiyama suffered a swift defeat.

He suddenly remembered something: "I'll show you something."

As he spoke, he helped Hui up, stood up, and extended his hand.

On the palm of his hand, mist spread out, then contracted rapidly, finally turning into a black hairband.

There was no wind on the lunar surface, yet the headband appeared to be fluttering.

Nomiyama caught it and looked at Megumi: "A gift."

He bent down and gently tucked strands of her hair around her neck. “Actually, I don’t prefer loose hair. I’ll like Hui no matter what. I’ve been thinking about going to the moon lately, so giving Hui a gift would be very appropriate. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, and this is the only cliché I could come up with.”

He gathered his long hair and began to gather it: "This hairband is similar to that peace charm, but it's more effective. It's connected to my soul. Whenever Hui thinks of me, it can sense where I am and come to my side, instead of just watching like the peace charm."

He tied a bow and smoothed the ponytail: "If Hui doesn't like tying her hair up, you can tie it on your wrist."

Kato Megumi stood up and looked back at him.

She understood that he had never been able to give her the ring because his hands couldn't fit so many rings, but she still held out her hand, her fingers slightly spread: "Kazehaya, the ring, I want a space wedding."

Nomiyama paused for a moment.

Kato Megumi explained softly, "It's okay, Kazehaya. You don't need to wear your own one. Just give it to me so I know I belong to you, and so others know I belong to you."

Nomiyama stopped thinking about anything, glanced at the surrounding lunar soil, and stretched out his hand.

A moment later, light flew out from the moon soil, and the moonlight gathered in his palm. A small ring landed in his palm. It was perhaps silver, but its silver body seemed to have a soft, bright light flowing around it.

He held the ring Yuehua had made, looking at Hui with a somewhat helpless expression.

Kato Megumi's eyes were gentle and expectant: "Kazehaya, put it on me, I belong to you."

Taking a deep breath, Nomiyama knelt on one knee on the moonlit ground, took her hand, and carefully slipped the ring onto her finger.

"Ms. Kato Megumi, would you...?"

"I am willing."

He looked up at Hui, who had answered first, and smiled with satisfaction, then with a hint of regret: "If I had known earlier, I should have prepared better."

Kato Megumi watched as the ring gradually slipped onto her ring finger, her voice filled with satisfaction and joy.

"The wind is strong enough. This is the best wedding venue, blessed by the earth and witnessed by the stars."

......

While deep in thought, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly turned her head and looked at a street in Chiba, her brows furrowing: "A hairband?"

The other person was also looking in that direction, and after a moment of silence, replied, "It's a ring."

Taking a deep breath, Yukino Yukinoshita looked across at the other person: "Are you satisfied now?"

Yukino Shinobu frowned slightly, then relaxed and exhaled, "It's acceptable. In the current situation, even if it's just about shifting your attention back to Hui, it's still okay."

Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously, "I've spent more time with Kato than you have. Believe me, if things continue like this, the situation will be much more serious than you think."

Xuexia Xuewan lowered her head and continued to ponder the game: "Then you concede."

Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth. She had focused too much attention on this person over the past few years and had indeed neglected Kato.

Therefore, things will get more complicated when they take action over there.

In particular, she suddenly proposed to move into the family home.

Very strange.

......

"Nomi Yamakaze Haya!!!"

Nomiyama, biting into a bamboo shoot from oden, turned around.

Golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight, a ponytail swayed as she ran, a black tank top, denim shorts, and deep blue eyes.

Eriri? Too bad it isn't her.

Nomiyama turned and ran.

Fengbin and Hana stood beside Hui, watching the people who had run some distance away and were now standing on the street looking in their direction, and sneered.

However, when she looked at the person next to her, she smiled sweetly and said, "Hui, it's been a long time."

Kato Megumi slightly curved her lips into a smile: "Wahana, it's been a long time."

Feng Bin and Hua nodded vigorously: "Next time we catch up, I'll go kill that scumbag first."

She took a step and continued forward.

Kato Megumi tilted her head, trying to advise, "Wahana, you can't catch up with him."

Feng Bin and Hua Xiaopao left, very confidently: "Don't worry, he's been slacking off lately. He can't even outrun his sister, let alone me. I'm a singer and dancer."

Kato Megumi opened her mouth, wanting to say that it wasn't the same thing, but all she could see was the girl running away.

Oh well, let's just wait. Kazehaya will be back soon.

Nomiyama ran for a while, then looked at his sister-in-law, who was panting and leaning against a lamppost behind him, and said helplessly, "What do you want to do? You couldn't outrun me back in college, do you think you can now?"

Feng Bin and Hua gasped for breath, glaring at him hatefully: "Don't run away, let me kick you a couple of times."

Nomiyama rolled his eyes: "Idiot."

Feng Bin and Hua's eyes reddened: "You're bullying me!"

Nomiyama twitched his lips, took a few steps forward, then dodged another kick in the face and continued to back away: "What's wrong now? I don't remember doing anything to offend you lately. It's been more than ten days since we last met. Can't you be normal?"

Feng Binhua, panting, leaned on her knees: "My sister said in the last interview that you cheated on me!"

Nomiyama's eyes widened. An interview? When? During the time of the sea voyage?

He remained silent, unable to speak, as if he had truly cheated...

Feng Bin and Hua's eyes reddened even more as they looked up at him, gritting their teeth: "Scumbag!"

Nomiyama waved his hand: "No, sister-in-law, Mai knows about this. She... she doesn't really care about it. Otherwise, how could I dare? If you don't believe me, go ask her. She's still in that house."

Feng Bin and Hua frowned, noticing a blind spot: "What? Still in that house? Does that mean it won't be there anymore?"

Now it was Nomiyama's turn to be surprised: "Didn't Mai tell you? We're moving tomorrow, we'll be living there from now on."

"Moving?" Feng Binhe straightened up, frowned, then relaxed, and put her hands on her hips. "I'll move then. I'm on vacation recently, let's go together tomorrow. I'll book a room."

Nomiyama silently stepped back: "Sister-in-law, stop making trouble. Not to mention my mother's side, I don't know how to explain it to your uncles and aunts either."

"You dislike me?" Feng Binhe sneered, completely unfazed. "If you dare to dislike me, I'll go tell my sister tonight."

Nomiyama stopped and said seriously, "Mai won't believe you."

Feng Bin and Hua remained completely calm: "Then go ahead, go quickly."

Nomiyama didn't leave; he remained where he was, accepting the situation with a mixture of disdain and resentment.

Then he said, "Someone like you will never get married."

Feng Bin and Hua raised an eyebrow and kicked as they ran.

Nomiyama dodged and turned to run.

Feng Bin and Hua raised their feet to chase after each other.

"Nomi Yamakaze Haya!!"

......

"Sometimes I feel that Mai and Kazuka are not sisters, after all, Mai is so smart."

Nomiyama took the oden from Megumi's hand, pulled out a radish, and put it in his mouth.
