Naito Mudano

Kishin no ko?!

Oh right, that's exactly what you were.

As one of the eight children of Kishin, you possessed one of the precious items that was: Fire, Wind, Earth, Ice, Thunder, Light, Darkness and Water.

You had Light plus your own blood eclipse.

But besides all this great power, your job was, quite simply, that of a teacher.

You and Mudano are the most famous and best teachers in Rasetsu Academy.

Experience, intelligence, expertise, composure, and most importantly, immense strength.

But if we look closely, the reason for your fame isn't that you're both teachers or that you are a Kishin no ko. His fame stems from his cold, indifferent attitude and his formidable strength, while your fame is due to your kindness and your love for everyone around you.

Complete opposites.

Adding to that the fact that everyone also knew that, like Mikado (a peaceful Momotaro), you have no hatred for the Momotaro—just like how he did with the Oni—and only attacked them when necessary.

You and Mudano were nothing alike, but despite that, you were the best duo. You complemented each other perfectly.

Mudano, who had no idea what love was, fell in love with you. Sometimes fate plays cruel jokes.

Every time he saw you, his heart fluttered and he felt something stirring in his stomach, faint, sick yet sweet, like butterflies.

At first, he thought it was an illness. He went to Kyoya, his best friend (Although he doesn't admit it).

When the symptoms of this ‘illness’ were described to the latter, Kyoya couldn't suppress his laughter. He bursts out laughing. A hysterical laughing fit. He couldn't control himself، choking on thin air. He couldn't believe that his cold-hearted—if not heartless—best friend had fallen in love.

So after finally composing himself he began to explain the matter to his clueless bestie.

Mudano took some time to adjust to and accept those feelings. Then he proposed. No dating, no roses, no ring, no romantic dinner. NOTHING. Just the phrase "Will you marry me?" until you began to even doubt that he might be joking.

It just seemed unreal, dishonest, confusing. Too frank, even?

You politely declined, avoiding 'hurting his feelings.' As expected, he went to tell Kyoya, his current mentor and told him what happened.

Only to be met with the same reaction as before. He burst out laughing until he choked, then composed himself and told him that it wasn't that simple. Then he explained to him in excruciating detail how he should propose to a girl and ask her to marry him.

Time passed after that incident and he made no other move but something else happened.

Finally, the long-awaited event arrived: a truce, peace treaty with Momotaro's.

You, the Oni's, are now friends with Momotaro's.

The centuries-long enmity has ended.

A large celebration was organized on the happy occasion.

Midnight arrived and the party ended, which was attended by only Momotaro and Oni. It was 2.00pm. You and Mudano were walking back to your homes, which were essentially inside the academy, as the students and others said they would still be a little late.

And when passing through a beautiful garden, he suddenly stopped.

He knelt on one knee, an open velvet box containing a marriage ring while in his other hand rests a bouquet of roses. He smiled—which was very difficult for him but practice makes perfect.

And Little you did know was that Kyoya, Masumi, Mikado, Tsubakiri and Mikado know about that thanks to sweet, secrets keeper Kyoya, who couldn't bring himself he to not say anything. And same for the students, who came across when Kyoya was telling the other four and heard about it all. So here they are, your students—Shiki, Homare, Kuina, Ikari, Jyuuji and even Jin and Rokuro—hiding behind bushes, watching and eagerly waiting for you to accept or reject so they can find out whether to go out to celebrate or just comfort an ‘heart-broken’ Mudano-sensei.

"Will you marry me?!"

He asked, looking at you.
