Love's Dilemma: A New Dawn at the Academy of Gods.

At the Academy of the Divine Beings 

Kurogami Masayuki still woke up early as usual, despite having attended the lantern festival with Mizuchi Haruka in the human world until late at night. Perhaps this deity was always full of energy, allowing him to wake up so early. He scanned the room in search of the sleeping beauty, Mizuchi Haruka. Strangely enough, the flower princess was sitting there, waiting for Kurogami Masayuki to say something. 

"Big brother, did I perform well yesterday?" Mizuchi Haruka asked anxiously, her eyes blinking, and within those eyes were the purity and innocence of her first love with Snow Sky Dog. 

"Younger sister, you performed very well yesterday!" Kurogami Masayuki sincerely complimented. His expression showed deep concern for the goddess he considered a younger sister. 

"So, did you find me beautiful at the lantern festival yesterday?" Mizuchi Haruka asked, eagerly awaiting the answer from her elder brother, Kurogami Masayuki. 

"Very beautiful. You were extremely beautiful yesterday!" Kurogami Masayuki encouraged with all his sincere appreciation. 

"Yesterday, was I more beautiful than that fox spirit?" Mizuchi Haruka asked, her eyes revealing a fierce sense of competition. 

"In my opinion, yesterday you were even more beautiful than that fox spirit. Your makeup and choice of clothing were excellent. I think everyone in the Lantern Festival town was captivated by you, both men and women from the human world. All eyes were drawn to you," Kurogami Masayuki said, perhaps still enchanted by Mizuchi Haruka's radiant beauty at the lantern festival. 

"Thank you, big brother! That's natural because I am the Goddess of Spring!" Suddenly, deep within her eyes, there was a sadness of loss. "But does that foolish snow wolf know? Tell me, big brother?" 

"Well... I'm not sure! But yesterday, Snow Sky-Dog praised that you were very beautiful! I have never seen that snow wolf show such a gentle attitude towards you. So, I think he knows," Kurogami Masayuki tried to persuade Mizuchi Haruka. 

While they were talking, Snow Sky-Dog opened the door and entered the room. 

"Hey, what are you two doing here? Let's have breakfast together!" Snow Sky-Dog exclaimed. 

"Snow Sky Dog, I have something to tell you!" Mizuchi Haruka looked at Snow Sky-Dog with a gaze full of heartfelt emotions and spoke in a very soft voice. 

Snow Sky-Dog met her eyes with a look as if its owner wanted to become the only woman in his life. He tried to remain calm, to restrain the intense emotions deep within his inner world, as they struggled to break free from his control. He replied: 

"What's the matter, Mizuchi Haruka?" 

"Yesterday, between me and Seraphina Frostwind, who is more beautiful?" 

"Well... each beautiful girl has her charm, and it's impossible to accurately compare the beauty of each person. But the truth is, yesterday, you were extremely beautiful, to the point that it was indescribable and mesmerizing to me, Mizuchi Haruka!" Snow Sky-Dog tried to capture the affection of the girl in front of him, but he also tried not to deny his feelings for the girl behind him, Seraphina Frostwind. 

"So, between me and her, whom do you love more?" 

"Currently, I haven't answered that question of yours. Please give me more time, Mizuchi Haruka!" Snow Sky-Dog looked deeply into Mizuchi Haruka's eyes, seemingly ready to shed tears, and spoke with a confident tone (or pretended confidence — if it was an act, it was a remarkable performance by Snow Sky Dog). 

Mizuchi Haruka gazed intently at Snow Sky Dog, her eyes filled with hopeful light but also containing some worry. Her heart fell into a moment of silence, only hearing the rhythmic beats of the girl's heart, the characteristic sound of intertwined emotions. 

"I need to know, Snow Sky Dog. I can't wait forever. Your feelings for me Seraphina Frostwind cannot coexist without hurting one of us. Tell me what you're thinking," Mizuchi Haruka said, her tone showing determination. 

Snow Sky Dog faced the determined gaze of Mizuchi Haruka and realized he couldn't evade this question forever. He swallowed hard and opened his mouth: 

"Mizuchi Haruka, my younger sister, to me, both you and Seraphina Frostwind are important. I cannot place one above the other, but that does not mean I want to hurt anyone. I appreciate the feelings you have for me, but sometimes emotions cannot be controlled," Snow Sky-Dog replied, the light in its eyes seemingly conveying loyalty and gratitude. 

Mizuchi Haruka sighed, her gaze becoming somber. She knew her life was being adjusted, but the truth always existed. Sometimes, it's not easy to face difficult decisions. 

"I will accept the truth, Snow Sky Dog. But please, keep it from hurting my heart too much," Mizuchi Haruka said, a gentle smile appearing on her face, yet her eyes remained an expression of heartache. 

Snow Sky-Dog felt somewhat relieved hearing Mizuchi Haruka's words. He understood that emotions were not always easy, and he couldn't always place everything on a peaceful island. Their world was an ongoing battle, where love and responsibilities fluctuated like endless waves. 

"Thank you for understanding, Mizuchi Haruka. Let's overcome all difficulties together and find our happiness," Snow Sky-Dog said, trying to convey certainty and commitment through each word. 

Meanwhile, Kurogami Masayuki sensed the difficulty faced by Mizuchi Haruka and Snow Sky Dog. He remained silent for a moment before speaking: 

"Both of you are important to me, but remember that emotions are not just an issue between two people. It affects all of us, and we must face it together. Let's find a solution that doesn't hurt anyone's heart." 

A moment of silence passed, but not long after, Snow Sky-Dog spoke with an optimistic smile: 

"All right, enough of the heavy stuff. Let's have breakfast and enjoy a dynamic new day! There are still many wonderful things waiting for us." 

The three of them left the room, their footsteps seemingly entering a new chapter of life. Behind them, love and challenges still existed, but these were the paths they had to tread, to ultimately find their happiness.
