Will You Be My Wife?

p3
>Fufu!

p4
>Is that your first time seeing a wedding, Takina?

>Yes. And they're both girls, no less.
>You probably don't see that in Japan often.

>What's this? Do you yearn for a wedding dress and wedding too, Takina?

>Rather than yearning,
>I think I want to have a wedding with you, Chisato.

>Hawaii is a place that acknowledges same-sex weddings, after all.

>What about you, Chisato?
>Do you want to try it?

>A wedding.

p5
>An expected lifespan of about 18 years.
>That's always been dragging me down these past ten or so years.

>Knowing there was a limit on my lifespan, I would try to make the most of each day,
>giving the things I wanted to do my all

>and giving up on the things I couldn't do anything about,

>such as falling in love with someone.

p6
>I mustn't feel anything more than friendship.

>If I were to spend my remaining time having a deep connection with someone,

>it would only bring the both of us pain when the day we must part arrives.

>So no matter how much Takina strikes my curiosity,

>as her friend, I mustn't cross that line.
>I can't go any further.

p7
>But things are different now.
>Thanks to my new heart, my life that was supposed to have ended has been extended.

>With this extended time, maybe I once again have the right to fall in love with someone.

>I undoubtedly love Takina.
>But is the kind of "love" where we could become partners for the rest of our lives?
>Or is it just that I can't turn my back on my cute underclassman?

>I just can't find an answer that I can accept.

>And while I'm still figuring out if this is love or not, she went and proposed to me first.
>That Takina girl...

p8
>Why do you look like you've got the marriage blues?

>Eh? M-Marriage blues?

>Pops. Looks like the little girl wants to go on a walk.
>How about we close up early today?
>Hm? Ah~ Sure, okay.

>Takina, go see Chisato home.
>See you tomorrow.
>Understood.

p9
>I don't think I would've ever seen a view like this had I not met you, Chisato.

>Hm? Is that so?

>If I hadn't violated that order, if I never came to LycoReco,
>if I never met you,
>if I never gave up on returning to the DA for the sake of your heart,

>I wouldn't be looking at this scenery with you, Chisato.

p10
>Ah, that's right. If I had never met Takina,
>I would've just worked at LycoReco the whole time,

>occassionally taking jobs for the DA,
>and just waiting for the time on my heart to run out so I can die all alone.

>I wouldn't have had any friends I wanted to hold dear,
>or be able to see the dreams I had given up on once more,
>or watch the sunset with Takina just like this.

p11
>Why am I hesitating now?
>My heart found its answer a long time ago, hasn't it?

>Chisato?

>We'll love each other in sickness and in health,
>support each others lives,
>and protect and love each other forever.

p12
>Pfft!

>Th-The heck!? You're the one who was asking if we should get married the other day!
>Hahaha!

>Well, it just suddenly occured to me
>that your expression's completely different from before.

>Sh-Shut up! I just thought it was the perfect mood for it!
>What about you, Takina?
>You gave me such a straight proposal and now you're laughing at me?

p13
>Skipping the process and going straight to marriage?
>Were you always this impatient, Chisato?

>That's right! I just now realised I love you
>and wanna skip straight to marrying you!

>You don't have to if you don't wanna, mind you!

p14
>We'll love each other in sickness and in health, >support each others lives,
>and protect and love each other forever.

>...Is that how it goes?
>Y-Yeah...

>Don't you normally kiss after saying all that?
>Is that so?

>Then... let's consider this as practice for the real deal!
>Let's.

p15
>Uwah!

>I'm so glad I met you, Takina!
>I'm so happy!

>Wait!
>Ahaha!

>Geez! How many times have you done that now!?
>Hahaha!

p16
>Eh~ Isn't it because you're heavy, Takina?

>Huh? Not at all! It's just because you haven't been exercising, Takina.
>Now you'd said it!

>Let's go home!
>Takina!
>Honestly... you never change.

p18
>Are you still worried about that?
>I told you that it's a badge of honor, right?

>But it hurt, didn't it?
>Thinking of the pain it caused you makes my heart ache.

>Haven't you been dicing with death this whole time too, Chisato?

>How did such a tiny body and heart overcome all that?

p19
>I love you, Takina.
>Me too.

>I want to feel more of you.

p20
>Mm
>Hah

>Hah... Takina...

>Mm
>Hah
>Hah

>Uuh!

>Hah
>Hah

p21
>Mm

>Hah

>Hah...
>Takina...

>If we don't like these tattoos so much, why don't we hide them?
>With tattoos or something?

>There'd be no problem in Hawaii,
>but it may be inconvenient if we return to Japan.

>If we were to get tattoos for real,

p22
>Ah...
>then rather than the one on your chest,
>I'd probably want you to hide the one on your shoulder.
>Aren't you scared of needles, Chisato? You'd probably cry if you got tattoos for both of them.
>Ah. Yeah, I'll pass.

>Then I'll hide my scars somehow on my own.
>Is that okay?

>Yeah. If you really want to hide them.

p23
>Hah!

>Aah...!

>Takina...Ah!

>Ah...

p24
>Chisato. May I...?

>Yeah... I want you too.

>Hah!
>Ng!

>Mm...

>Takina.
>Hah
>Hah

p25
>Takina, could you give me more?
>Sure. Let me know if it hurts.

>Ng...

>Aah!

p26
>Hah...!

>!!
>Hah
>Takina...

>Hah!
>Hah!
>Ng!
>Hah!

>Aah... Takina!

p27
>Takina...
>Ah!
>I want more.

>Cute...

>Hah!
>Takina...
>Takina... Hah!

>I love you.
>Takina! I love you so much, Takina!

>Chisato!
>Ah

p28
>You're really cute when you get like this, Chisato.
>Hah...!

>Right now, you're all mine.

>Hah!
>Ah
>Aah...!

>Hah Hah

>I love you, Chisato.
>Hah Hah

p29
>Mm

>Good morning, Takina.

>Good morning, Chisato.

>What's this...?

>The carving on this bracelet
>is based on a Hawaiian leaf called "MAILE".

>In Hawaii, this leaf...
>protects vows between couples
>...apparently.

p30
>When did you prepare this and when did you sneak it on me?

>I mean, if you knew it from the start,
>it wouldn't be a surprise, right?

>They're no wedding rings, but the pattern on these bracelets has the same meaning...
>We've still got our missions, so rings might get in the way...

>And after a few years have passed and we retire from being Lycoris,
>we'll become adult and get proper wedding rings.

p31
>Can you wait that long?

>Fufu

>Of course.
