Chapter 346 - Confession!

The day had finally come where everyone had been waiting for the last few weeks. People were gathered with some accompanied by their family enjoying themselves with the whole other busily working to provide entertainment. 

It was the festival that people would be able to celebrate and have peace of time after the hard work that they had done only focusing on cherishing the moment with their loved ones.

At the center of it was a young man dressed in Yukata tying his hair into a ponytail while still wearing his circular glasses to hide the wound. Caelum had gone ahead and gone first for the festival to prepare for the day as he was going to tell them the news.

He could feel his guts and instinct telling him that it was needed sooner than later. Caelum being fateless would always result in good fortune even if that perspective appears to be misfortune. 

To live as long he was then everything that appears to be misfortune is another opportunity for good fortune like his Martial. A Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin.

"Even though tears had not been shed amidst the bustling festive day, only a silent cry of the dusk echoed within his heart."

Caelum spoke silently waiting for them until sensing them approached and found everyone wearing their kimono and Yukata.

He was surprised to see Miko's mother along with her son accompanying her. They were beautiful and alluring in his eyes, especially Saki who had become a woman after the day they had spent. 

"You all are amazing today! I feel like all of you are preparing something for me."

Upon greeting they all blush to hide their plan to confess as they all had taken their time to discuss it among themselves and agreed to tell their feelings at the same time. 

[A/N: Mothers are not yet included.]

Caelum already understood everything and was only acting that he doesn't know to make them happy. 

Moments later they got a good look at his appearance and made their hearts beat even more while Miko's mother started to feel more attracted to him but remained responsible and not be tempted.

Though it won't be long for her to let loose as Caelum had been visiting them from time to time and made her into a young woman again every time they had the opportunity to chat.

He had helped her reconcile with her grief and been helpful to Kyousuke acting as big brother, teaching him things playing him that only men would understand.

"Yo, Masa-Nii!"

Kyousuke leaps forward trying to strike caelum only to redirect every attack, surprising everyone except Miko and her mother. 

He was taught by him some martial arts and was adapted in his discipline teaching him Full contact karate as his own martial art is too much for him to handle.

Even then he displayed a level of talent in fighting and absorbing his teaching like a sponge and persisted in trying to hit him but gradually grew tired.

"Haaa...haaa..okay i'll stop haaa.."

"Not bad you've grown faster and sharper but still forgot to conserve your breathing. Remember what I taught you?"

"That it is all in breathing, foundation, discipline, and technique."

"Good, well anyway what do you guys want to do first?"

After giving his advice to the young boy turned his attention to all the women that were looking at him. 

"Well, what do you think of my Yukata? I do like that each of your Kimono and Yukata patterns also come here Saki and hold still."

Hearing him call by her name without an honorific made them jealous and suspicious about the two. He went closer towards Saki who had been more vibrant and intimate with him.

Caelum fixed her Yukata that was not tied properly that seemed no one knew how to tie it for her, even her mother.

"Sorry I didn't know how to tie it. I rarely wear one."

Saki's mother explained embarrassedly that she had to let him fix the mishaps. She was with Saki as her husband is currently at the hospital being taken care of and letting her do as she please. 

"Aren't you one few blocks away, Mrs. Yoshida?"

"Oh I didn't recognize you, Touko! It seems both our daughters are aiming at the same man."

"It appears so. Hope he can make them happy."

The mothers whisper among themselves that the person hears every word they spoke that makes him smile. Caelum finished tying the Obi and fixing her hair a bit that her blush.

"Done. Anywho, what do you guys want to do first?"

Caelum said before heading their way to enjoy the festival buying some snacks and playing games while their hearts free increasingly anxious the final moment they confessed. 

He won them a few games and arrived where they had a live concert that was full of people. 

Those beside home were kyousuke while the other side was his sister. That made the rest of the girls feel jealous but they took a bet on straw and she won. As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war. 

In Caelum vast knowledge in entertainment finds their performance above average lacking the passion of what it is to be a musician.

"Anyone in the audience who wishes to take part?"

Caelum heard it raise an eyebrow turned to the young girls wanting him to sing for them which promptly made him raise his hand. 

"You good sir! Come on stage and show us what you got!"

He stood up from his chair moving past the people and handed by mic looking at the audiences then to the guitarist.

"Can I borrow your guitar for a moment?"

"Sure, do you have your own song?"

"Yeah, I want to share it with everyone."

After being handed the guitar adjusted the setting before taking deep breaths trying to find the perfect song among the vast collection then find the perfect one.

"Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoy my song called Nandemonaiya."

Caelum thought that he won't get copyrighted when the song doesn't exist in the world he was in and took the moment to sing it. 

His mellow voice shocks the audience that made them imagine a scene in their mind feeling the emotion that is held within the music itself. They were all silent, unable to even take the time to speak to anyone only intently listening to his song.

Among the audience the wan that was with him felt their heart stirred as if the song was for them. They recalled every moment they had with him. 

To Nino it was the time she protected her and how they spent watching the romantic movie where the spotlight were the two of them. He always made everything special between them.

To Miku, he never found her unusual even though she had a different liking than a normal girl and he loved it about her and always found ways to make her feel normal. 

To Ichika a man who made her feel to act true to herself never hiding it with a smile and poured her emotion Every Time they played the recent movie that she was part of.

To Yotsuba made her realize what she truly wanted and not others made her it to be. The one who helped her stopped being naive and finally be selfish to have her desire be fulfilled. 

To Itsuka who had been the most mature gave her the shoulder to depend on and be more free and lift a bit of her burden.

To Miko, the one who helped her cope with the darkness of the world and find the beauty in it. She had now finally come to terms with her gift and even used it to help others.

Finally for Saki, the man who saved her from the ever ending loneliness that would have one day sent her to hell if not for his action. 

"That's my song, thank you for listening."

Everyone applauded and cheered as he handed back the guitar and went towards his seat while people were praising him. After the concert, they arrived where everyone would be able to see the fireworks display. 

"Masa-san, we all wanted to tell you something."

He turned to look at them side by side anxious and had their face beet red but took deep breath encouraging themselves to do it. One by one they told their feelings and their moments they shared deeply, taking the time to say the words that they were meaning to say.

"The thing we all had agreed to is..."

""'We love you!!"""
