The Five Mythicals

Marriage Proposal

"Ummm...finishu...Stretch...Stretch. Ahh. That was quick. It took like, 2 hours to finish?"

With my fanart now finished, what should I do now? It's not inaff but it's honest work. Hope Enma-chan likes this. She is so busy that I don't want to bother her.

I'll wait till she gets back.

After that, I start scrolling through my timeline on Seiso Tako, checking some of the new illustrations from my favourite artists.

Beautiful as always.

They never seem to surprise me. They have their own way of doing things and It makes me happy every time I see them.

What's this?

I stopped at an illustration that had to do something with me and someone else. It was me with a girl named.

Nene? Nenechi?

It was me blowing a kiss to her and with a text bubble of me saying 'suki?' and the response from her was 'of course I'll marry you.' The account name was 'nene-x-ina-shippu'. With a caption saying 'one day, don't give up' with crying emojis.

Who's Nene?

I looked her up and saw she was an idol in Holocity.

I really don't know about the outside world, huh?

I search the app for her profile and see what she's up to.

Let's see. Let's see.

She has over five million followers and counting. Her bio stated that one day, she will marry me.

[My name is Nene. Hope you come to my concert-aru.]

I tapped on a video of her doing random cute poses and ending every sentence with aru.

[I will do my best to entertain you guys and I hope will marry-, I mean, I mean, umm... Nothing nothing, I wasn't going to say anything, see you soon-aru.]

The video ended there.

"She looks super cute, that's for sure. Her outfit looks cute as well with that radiant smile of hers. Humu humu, Let's see what she's all about."

I look at the date of the concert and prepare for its arrival. I need to be punctual, get it, 'pun'-ctual, ha, ha, I get it, so original.

***

It was the day of the concert. I was in the VVVip section where not even celebrities can enter. Special permission from who? A rumour says that it's from a mythical being that lives in the city. Who is it? I have no idea. I am but a simple human.

I was in my seat with my takodachi in my arms. It was extra cosy. Snuggling up to me with its eyes closed. Z's escaped through its mouth because of the journey to get here.

I was the only one in this room while Enma-chan was back home. She is now sleeping from a long day's work. She didn't have the time to come with me but she did have the time to look at the illustrations I drew of her. She wondered if it was some sort of excuse but I refuted the claim. I just wanted to draw her for fun. I don't need an excuse. I am not a problem child, you know?

With my tentacles swimming around in the room like an aquarium, I heard a couple having a little quarrel in the Vip section.

"I can't wait to see her, where is she?"

"Babe, do you really love her that much? What about me?"

"Come on, sweetie, you know my love for her isn't that real. I love you so much more."
