37.I Love You...

[[37.I Love You...]]

[[3rd Person's POV]]

1 Year.... One whole year and some months had passed since the incident with Lila happened.

Minhe, Julie, and Nettie were now the most famous VTubers and would most likely always stay on top. They were also the richest women in the world, with how much they earn from their super-chats and the amount of their subscribers.

However, in real life, they live quite modestly. They live in Jasmine's bakery, which now had a big house behind it because of Marinette's girlfriends and Jasmine's best friends moving in.

Kagami, Chloé and Juleka, who had to repeat half of their previous school year, had quickly caught up to their peers and were now, in Filipino level, in their 11th Grade, which was 1st year Senior High School. And thanks to Jasmine, she was able to have their parents permission to be their Gaurdians as they continue their education in the Philippines.

Jasmine would really do anything for her daughter and little sister to keep them happy.

Also, with Marinette's girlfriends living with them, they also help out in their bakery, making it so that Jasmine didn't need to hire any other employees, which she didn't really need to since she could just use her clones.

Then, the other people living with them were Emilie and Alexa. Emilie, since she didn't have anyone to go back to, and no living relatives left, she decided to sell everything she had in Paris and live with Jasmine, who was her best friend and savior.

She had been broken so much because of her ex-husband, who was Hawkmoth and had terrorized the whole of Paris, and her son dying, that she had aimless, practically lifeless. But thankfully, Jasmine had been there for her. Had always made sure that she was safe.

As for Alexa, when she went back to Paris to continue her work everything had just been...different. A few weeks after the incident where convicted criminals suddenly disappeared, they had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Alexa had already been traumatized for what her daughter had become, but after finding out how...mangled her daughter was...of how much her body was teared...of how much was left of her...it broke her. Then, at that time, Jasmine was "conveniently" in Paris, helping out Emilie move out from her mansion, and after "hearing" about what happened, had immediately been there for Alexa, when even her own husband hadn't done a thing.

To make a long story short, Alexa divorced her husband since things had been different ever since...ever since Lila had been born. And now, Alexa was happy living with Jasmine, as was Emilie.

Alexa, having left her position as a diplomat, had begun working in Jasmine's bakery, while Emilie had done the same, with both of them enjoying the simple job, especially when both had rather chaotic ones before.

And, as for their feelings for Jasmine? They definitely loved her. They absolutely °loved° her! However, they were currently playing hard to get. The reason? Jasmine had utterly, stupidly, fallen for the both of them. Turns out, even when Succubi could easily, or even sometimes have a challenge, get who they want with their beauty and powers, their Love could quite easily contend with their Lust! They, as corny as it is, just needed to find the right person, or persons. Of course, this didn't mean that they'd stop lusting over other people, just that the person they Love would always come first.

Of course, let's not forget about Julie!

Julie, who was the Angel of Love, which was true, had become Cupid and had matched many couples that would definitely have a happy relationship. However, she was also pursuing her own Love, which was her big sister! And just like with Emilie and Alexa, Jasmine was playing hard to get.

Jasmine didn't really mind about her sister being in love with her, and in reality, she much prefers her little sister loving her than loving someone else! And Jasmine would surely love Julie back....well...love her more than she already does.

As I idly scroll around my phone, I barely gave Gabriel any attention. She deserves it, really. She nearly ruined the surprise I worked so hard on!

"Muo~. Come on Jaz! I said I was sorry! You know how Julie can be when she actually gets serious!" The Archangel pleaded for forgiveness, and I would have laughed if I wasn't so grumpy right now. An Archangel, asking for forgiveness from a Succubus.

"Tch. You're just lucky I got there in time. I've planned this for months, Gab. Nearly a year when I found out I loved them! And the only reason how I was able to keep this hidden, to keep Julie from finding out what I had been doing, was thanks to Mari being the best wingwoman!" I snapped at her, still grumpy, and very, very annoyed.

Then, with a mock hurt look, even putting a hand to her chest, Gabriel cried out, "I thought °I° was the best °wing°woman!", while wiggling her wings as she began with her pun.

Groaning at said pun, I nearly punted my wine at her. She's really lucky that I was enjoying my wine.

"Stop it with the puns. It's horrible." I stated with as much venom I could muster, but the angel just smiled.

"That's why they exist, babe. Puns are meant to be horrible. But if you do it, it might be °horn°ible!" With a smug smile, the angel shamelessly made another pun, and had even done that dreaded finger-guns. I really wonder why I was friends with her at these times.

"But, for realsies, we're ready!" Thankfully, Gabriel stopped and had given me a good news! And it was good enough that the animosity I had for her had been completely wiped out!

"So...you're gonna go through it?" Lilith asked as she hovered behind me, even bouncing in the air a bit.

With the most determined voice I had, I answered, "I am.", and Lilith smiled like a proud mother, she smiled like how I do whenever Marinette does something that fills me with pride.

While I was walking towards my destination, Lilith suddenly started with a, "Then...I'm happy for you. And I'm sure it's going to be the best moment of your life. Because I still remember how °I° proposed to my husband.", causing me to stop in place in surprise.

For a while, I stood in place. But I soon continued to move forward.

"I didn't know you had a husband." I state as quickly go up the steps, curious about Lilith's partner.

"Mm~. He died." Lilith suddenly said out of nowhere, but I luckily didn't trip at how blunt she was. Then, as if she hadn't just said something that I should inquire about, I continued moving up.

"Remember to officially join Hololive next year, 'kay?" And Lilith just ruined the mood even more.

[We're getting close! About 2 minutes away!]

Checking Marinette's latest text, I began to feel my heart beat even faster. Tonight was the night. The night where I make my promises.

Looking at the flattened ground, which used to be the tip of the mountain, I eyed the decorations that were hidden by the darkness, and seeing that nothing was misplaced, I sighed in relief.

Then, as Marinette had said, when it hit the 2 minute mark, I started to see beams of light, definitely from flashlights. My heart began to beat even faster, but I grounded myself.

Slowly, as everyone got closer, I used my magic to light the surroundings, making it look...magical. I had condensed my mana into really small balls, almost as big as a firefly, and I even made them act °like° fireflies, with each of my condensed mana glowing in different colors. And, immediately afterwards, I heard gasps of surprise and awe from familiar voices, causing me to smile.

Then, seconds later, the "clearing" was filled with my twinkling condensed mana, allowing all the decorations, the food, and everything else be shown.

"Jaz! Is that you!" I then heard Alexa exclaim, and I quickly looked directly into her eyes, feeling a blush rise into my cheels at the same time.

With forced casualness, I answered with a "Yep.", making her and the rest just smile.

"This place is so beautiful! Did you find this place? Why are there tables and such! There's even food! Is this a camp site?" Emilie asked, and when she got closed to me, she immediately hugged me, to which I returned.

Then, separating from the hug, I answered, "I actually...made this place...hehehe...", as I scratch my cheek in embarrassment, remembering how this placed used to be a big chunk of earth, which I blew off, flattened, and added some trees to it before putting in the decorations.

And, Julie, who was able to sense my mana, hummed as she asked, "Hnn~. What for? How did you even make this place look...°magical°. And what's the purpose of this place anyway. A hang-out spot?"

Hearing Julie's guessed, I giggled, easing off some of my nervousness.

'It's now or never.' I tell that to myself as I summon a small box -which I made sure to be more than beautiful- on my left hand, which I had hidden behind me.

Scratching my cheek once more, I said, "Actually...I made this place to....propose to you three..." as I slowly kneel onto the ground, the box now opened and visible to the three shocked women.

Now fully kneeling on one knee, and my- their engagement rings on full display, I watched how their dazed expressions began to change as they cried. They began to cry with massive smiles on their faces.

Without wasting anytime, I finally began with, "Will you three, wonderful, amazing, other-worldly, sexy, ma-", but I was suddenly cut off when all of them had simultaneously shouted, "YES!!!".

Then, before I knew it, I was lying on the ground, with three beautiful women crying happily on top of me.

[A/N: I hope this was a great chapter! Because I felt it was!

Though I'm disappointed I didn't have an in-depth scene where their relationship grew, I am still proud of my work! And I hope you all did too!]
