"Naa?" Misaki exclaims in surprise. "A marriage?"
She hugs Hikaru protectively to her chest.

"Yes. Not just any marriage, Misakichi! Your Hikaru's marriage. It's going to be the wedding of the month!"
"But why? Hikaru hasn't dated anyone yet." She looks down to her Angel, eyes wide in fear and disbelief before focusing her attention to her friend, Tamayo.
A large Cheshire grin float back and forth upon Tamayo's lips; Kotaro recognizes that expression anytime, anywhere. It's the sign of Tamayo planning to do something really, really stupid.
"But we'll have to skip that one. She already has a perfect suitor!"
"Naa?" When did Hikaru go out with someone without her knowledge? Horrified at the prospect of Hikaru sneaking out and rebelling against her wishes, she glances down to her Angel again, "Is this true?" ignoring the fact that Hikaru only comes alive on the layer.
Tamayo's expectant grin turns eviler—Kotaro decides to step in before her childhood friend could influence Misaki's relationship with her Angel.
"And who is this suitor? We've the right to know, considering there aren't a lot of male models that—ackkk!" he sounds stupid, even in his own ears, but that did not stop Tamayo from suddenly choking him in a stronghold under her arm.
"Ohh! Kotaro, that's so heroic. You sound just like a parent! You two will make the greatest parents-," Misaki and Kotaro blush at the same time. "-Of course, you want to know who this awesome guy Hikaru is going to marry!"

As if on cue, Oujirou holds Wizard in front of Misaki and Kotaro's faces.

"Wizard?" Hikaru prompts.

"They've been battling against one another so much over the years, there's no doubt the two have formed a bond at some point."
"Naa! I had no idea," Misaki smiles, both shocked and happy, and most of all, completely wrapped around their fingers.

This is nonsense! Kotaro pulls himself out of Tamayo's death grip, his breath already ragged and harsh due to his sudden escape from suffocation. "Why are you so intent on getting Wizard and Hikaru married? I've never heard about Angels walking down the
aisle."

Oujiro smirks a little more gently than Tamayo. "That's why we should arrange their marriage. It's going to be the first wedding ceremony recorded in Angel History."
"But why Hikaru? There are so many female Angels out there." Kotaro points out lamely.
Tamayo launches a punch into his face, squealing ("Naa!" Misaki cradles his cheek to see for any more damages.). "Oh, Kotaro! You're so suave. I can't wait till you and Misakichi get married!"
Misaki and Kotaro's faces turn beet red again.
"According to my brother, Hikaru has a lot of chemistry with Wizard. They make a fascinating pair." Oujiro explains. "Of course, that's not the only reason why we'd like to ask Hikaru's hand of marriage for our Wizard."

Oujiro pauses, finally getting everyone's attention, even Tamayo's and hides an amused grin as he lowers his chin down to look at Wizard. His girlfriend doesn't know the reason and yet she goes along with this idea, passionately encouraging from the very
beginning; the plan wouldn't have worked without her.

"What's the other reason?" Misaki prompts with bated breath and unconsciously shifts closer to Kotaro.
"Lately, Wizard has been feeling lonely, now that I no longer train him as often as I used to in those days. Tama-chan and I are going to move in together after graduation and soon Wizard will feel like a third wheel. So I thought why not allow him to settle down on his own. And besides, who is the better candidate for him other than your Hikaru?"
Understanding dawned upon the look in their eyes. They're going to attend University soon. The time is nearing when they finally have to move on from this phase--the phase that helped shape their future, cementing their relationships with each other.
The mood disappears as soon as Oujiro flashes Tamayo a devious grin. "I'm sure they'll get wonderful kids together."
Misaki and Kotaro look horrified at one another.
"Naa?"
"Is that even possible?"
Tamayo releases a kind laughter as she moves to stand beside Oujiro. "Misakichi and Ko-chan will be having dozens of grandchildren hopping up and down for candy."

Kotaro grabs his chest in shock while Misaki touches her flushed cheeks in embarrassment.
