"Wow~ Are those the Faroe Islands? They look so big!"
On the plane, Yotsuba leaned against the window, looking at the island and the sea below.
Sweden is a country. Earlier, Nakano Yu had only said that they would come to Sweden because of the engagement. Only after they boarded the plane did Nakano Yu tell them that their destination this time was the Faroe Islands in Sweden.
"Seriously, Yotsuba, sit properly."
Nino was sitting next to Yotsuba, watching her stand up and lectured her.
Although they were flying in a small private family plane and Yotsuba would not disturb anyone, it was still somewhat unsafe.
"Hehehe~ I just got a little excited."
After being scolded by Nino, Yotsuba scratched her head and sat down a little embarrassed.
After fastening her seatbelt, Nino glanced at Nakano Yu sitting in front and said:
"It's Yu's engagement, not yours, Yotsuba. Yu isn't even excited, why are you so excited?"
"It's not because of the engagement. It's been a while since we went out to have fun."
Hearing that, Yotsuba defended herself. It really had been some time since she went out to play with her four sisters and Nakano Yu. Hm, that thing at the forest school doesn't count!
"Yu, how do you feel? You're getting engaged tomorrow, are you really excited?"
Sitting next to Nakano Yu, Ichika poked the boy's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"I am excited, but not too much. It's just an engagement, it's not the real wedding yet."
After thinking briefly, the boy replied. Compared to the engagement itself with Katsura Kotonoha, Nakano Yu more wanted to see Katsura Kotonoha standing in front of him in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet.
"Oho~ Is that so? I really envy the girl who is going to get engaged to Yu."
Raising an eyebrow, Ichika showed an expression of longing. How could she not wish to get engaged to Nakano Yu as well and, holding his hand, walk together into the wedding hall when they become adults?
Still, that was a little far away for her. For now, she had to finish all her plans. When the plans were perfect and fully prepared, she would be able to openly stand beside the boy she loved.
"If Ichika wants that, I can do it immediately."
Hearing that Ichika was truly envious, Nakano Yu turned to the girl beside him and said seriously.
With his abilities, he could forcibly suppress everything, even twist the moral principles of the world. Those things were an easy matter for Nakano Yu.
"No, I know what Yu wants to do, but I… I want to be recognized by society, by the world. Let me take care of that, Yu, don't trouble yourself."
Guessing what Nakano Yu wanted to do, Ichika rolled her eyes, poked his forehead and said.
"…Alright, Ichika. If you need anything, just tell me anytime."
Seeing her say that, Nakano Yu naturally respected it, nodded and said.
Looking at Nakano Yu, Ichika smiled faintly.
She would. No matter how far she went, the figure she would see when she looked back would always be Nakano Yu, regardless of time.
The plane soon landed at the Faroe Islands airport. After leaving the airport, Nakano Yu and the others boarded a special car that Nakano Maruo had arranged in advance.
The hotel for this engagement was located not far from the Faroe Islands port. It was one of only two five-star hotels on the Faroe Islands. Not only the hall, but the entire hotel had been reserved by Nakano Maruo.
Of course, relying solely on Nakano Maruo's abilities to completely reserve such a hotel was somewhat insufficient, because hotels of this caliber were sometimes not only about profit, but also about connections.
In the end, the family behind the hotel learned that it was Nakano Yu's engagement banquet and offered a lower price, allowing Nakano Maruo to reserve it for three days.
"Wow! Yu, let's go to the beach later, okay?!"
Sitting in the car, the group drove along the coastal road. Yotsuba looked at the azure sea, her face full of longing.
"We'll go after we arrive at the hotel and unpack."
Nakano Yu was also looking at the sea. Remembering that Yotsuba had talked about going out on the plane, he naturally would not break his word.
"As always, Yu is the best!"
Seeing that he agreed, Yotsuba hugged the young man, her face full of smiles, showing the innocence of a young girl.
Soon the group arrived in front of the hotel.
"Nakano Yu!"
As soon as he got out of the car, a call was heard.
Hearing the voice, Nakano Yu turned his head, and a figure wrapped in a fragrant breeze rushed into his arms.
Greedily inhaling his scent, Katsura Kotonoha hugged him tightly.
She had been waiting for this; tomorrow, tomorrow she would be able to get engaged to the boy she loved, that was… wonderful!
"Kotonoha, it's been a long time."
Perhaps infected by her fiery emotions, Nakano Yu also hugged her and whispered softly in her ear.
This scene was completely seen by Ichika and the others. Ichika, Miku and Nino did not feel anything special, but Yotsuba, watching such an intimate and loving couple, for a moment doubted whether her decision yesterday had been right or wrong.
Itsuki felt similarly to Yotsuba. Seeing Nakano Yu holding another woman in his arms, Itsuki felt a slight discomfort and an impulse to go over and separate them.
"Such an enviable scene of affection, Kotonoha, how can you be so unrestrained? There are guests here."
At that moment, Katsura Manami's voice was heard. Hearing it, Katsura Kotonoha finally came to her senses, noticed Ichika and the others nearby and quickly, blushing, pulled away from the young man's embrace.
"It's been a long time, Nakano Yu."
Coming out of the hotel, Katsura Manami smiled and greeted the young man.
"Manami, it's been a long time, you're becoming more and more beautiful."
Seeing Katsura Manami, Nakano Yu replied.
"Honestly, if I were about ten years younger, I wouldn't willingly hand over such a sweet-talking boy like you to Kotonoha. These must be the Nakano five sisters?"
What woman does not like compliments? Katsura Manami was no exception. After teasing Nakano Yu, she looked toward Ichika and the others.
Katsura Manami had heard of the Nakano five sisters; on the contrary, because of Nakano Yu, in Tokyo's high circles the Nakano five sisters were often mentioned, but also because of Nakano Yu, no one dared to approach them.
"You truly are young and beautiful, much better than an old aunt like me. Ah, yes, I am Katsura Manami, director of Katsura Jewelry Group and Kotonoha's mother."
Approaching the five sisters, Katsura Manami smiled and introduced herself. Although her words contained a bit of flattery, that was for ordinary people; the five sisters were truly very beautiful, which was an undeniable fact.
"Not at all, Manami is very beautiful, and has a great figure. I am Nakano Ichika, the eldest of the Nakano sisters, you can just call me Ichika."
Faced with such social conversation, Ichika was prepared. She first offered a few compliments to Katsura Manami, then introduced herself.
After that, Nino and the others introduced themselves in turn, then asked where Nakano Maruo was.
Tomorrow was, after all, the engagement ceremony of Nakano Yu and Katsura Kotonoha. Even if Nakano Maruo was busy, he should have made time to come, since he was the father of Nakano Yu and the five sisters.
"Your father? He's probably at the statue of Frigg in the port. Maybe praying for the engagement of Nakano Yu and Kotonoha."
Seeing them ask, Katsura Manami thought for a moment, then extended her hand white as a lotus root and pointed toward the distant port.
At the head of the port stood a bronze statue of the goddess…
And in front of the statue people came and went, occasionally a few of them could be seen praying.
"What statue is that?"
Looking at it, Itsuki asked curiously. As someone who aspired to become a teacher, she often read books and had recently developed an interest in world culture. Since she had finally come to Sweden and saw such local myths and legends, it would be a lie to say she did not want to learn more.
Just as Katsura Manami was about to say that she did not know either, Nakano Yu looked at the statue and told what he knew about the myth of Frigg.
"Nakano Yu knows so much, he even remembers all of this!"
Receiving the answer, Itsuki immediately showed an expression of admiration, looking at Nakano Yu with eyes full of stars.
"You'll know too if you read more books. Alright, let's quickly go into the hotel."
Nakano Yu smiled and brushed it off lightly. He knew those things because he had previously studied Norse mythology and intended to challenge the Norse gods. Although he had not found them back then, who knew, maybe he would meet them this time?
Seeing him say that, the group did not delay and entered the hotel.
The huge hotel, apart from the guests invited to the engagement ceremony, had no outside visitors, so there were many empty rooms. Nakano Yu and Katsura Kotonoha, naturally, were accommodated in the presidential suite on the top floor.
However, whether it was intentional by the hotel or arranged by Katsura Manami, several presidential suites had been completely reserved, and Nakano Yu and Katsura Kotonoha were arranged to stay in the same suite.
Nakano Yu naturally had no objections. After all, it had been some time since he had been intimate with Katsura Kotonoha. Ahem, in any case, he had missed that!
After they settled their luggage and accommodation, there was still some time before dinner. Since he had promised Yotsuba to go to the beach together, Nakano Yu naturally would not break his word. He brought Katsura Kotonoha downstairs to meet the five sisters.
At that time, the five sisters had already changed into sun-protective clothing, since it was the beach and the sun was blazing.
Katsura Kotonoha was no exception, wearing a long dress, a light sun-protection jacket and a hat.
"Yay! Let's go! To the beach!"
When everyone gathered, Yotsuba immediately pulled Ichika and ran out of the hotel, running toward the port.
"Hey! Be careful not to fall!"
Seeing that, Nino said and quickly ran after them.
Miku and Itsuki also followed, leaving only Nakano Yu and Katsura Kotonoha.
"Let's go, my fiancée."
Looking at the girl beside him, Nakano Yu extended his hand and said.
"Mm!"
Since no one was watching, Katsura Kotonoha naturally did not hesitate and linked arms with the young man.
Walking through the streets of the Faroe Islands, Nakano Yu looked at the five sisters in front of him who were looking left and right, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You and your family have such a good relationship."
Taking note of it, Katsura Kotonoha covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"Well, we grew up together."
Hearing that, Nakano Yu replied. Ever since he came to this world, he had spent the most time with the five sisters, so their relationship was naturally very good.
"I understand."
Katsura Kotonoha nodded. Just as she was about to say something, Nakano Yu suddenly stopped, staring intently at a corner.
"What's wrong, Nakano Yu?"
Taking note of it, Katsura Kotonoha asked. Following his gaze, she looked through the passage and saw the bronze statue they had seen earlier near the hotel – the statue of Frigg, the Norse queen!
