12 No Longer Canon

After Tsukasa regained her composure and digested everything that had happened after she entered Sairyoku's mansion, Tsukasa asked out of confirmation, "I won't ask where you obtained those powers but… Are you sure you won't regret marrying me?"

Without any hesitation, Sairyoku answered, "I won't regret it. Even if millions of years have passed, my love for you will not be eroded by eternity."

Tsukasa asked again, "I'm not the perfect girl you think I am. I am selfish and I want affection. I am sick of being lonely. Even if I can guess that you might have the method to make me mortal again, I want to remain immortal so that I can be with you forever."

Sairyoku's resolve didn't waver, "I cherish your perfections and love your imperfections. That's what makes who you are and I love you the way you are."

"I know it must have been difficult for you to live for 1,400 years with those accompanying you eroded by time. I have only recently become an immortal so I can't say I can empathize with what you have gone through."

"However, I will accompany you forever from now on and death can never do us apart."

Sairyoku extended his hand towards her, "Our marriage life in the future life might have its ups and downs, but let's enjoy our journey of love with each other, Tsukasa!"

Hearing Sairyoku's passion for her, Tsukasa was deeply moved.

Tsukasa didn't think that she was perfect so when she saw how bright Sairyoku had shined, she started to doubt whether she was good enough for him.

Tsukasa believed that she was just a normal girl who was unlucky enough to drink the Horai (elixir of immortality).

If it was someone more perfect than her, Tsukasa believed that Kaguya who made countless people fawn over her was better than someone ordinary like her. She thought that someone like Kaguya was worthy of Sairyoku.

Even the Horai she drank was just Kaguya's divine blood.

She…

Didn't think she was good enough for him.

If not for her saving Sairyoku from being hit by a truck, Sairyoku wouldn't have fallen head over heels for her. Tsukasa felt that she was just lucky to be in the right place and at the right time.

"You must be overthinking again, right?"

"Sigh, Tsukasa, where's your cold ice beauty facade?"

Sairyoku sighed, "When we first met, you looked so cool and aloof as if the matters of the world don't affect you. But now, you look like a mess, emotionally."

"It might be my fault for stimulating you too much with my existence. But…"

"Sigh, forget it."

"Action speaks louder than words. I'll just prove it."

Sairyoku moved his previously extended hand and with just a flick of his wrist, the marriage form Tsukasa had stored in her clothes flew out.

Before Tsukasa could react, Sairyoku spoke, "Time Stop."

Using the ability he obtained from the Dimension Sign-In System on his 2nd-month sign-in, Sairyoku stopped the time of Tonikawa World.

Afterward, he took his leisure time to pick up the pen and seal placed on the steel tray held by the humanoid robot butler.

Without any hesitation, Furukawa Sairyoku started signing and filling up the marriage registration form with his name and signature.

After he was done, he stamped his seal on it.

He could see that the witnesses for his marriage with Tsukasa were none other than Tsukuyomi Tokiko and Kaginoji Shiori.

"It might be due to my current status. Even if anyone in the bride's family with a signature and seal could act as the witness on the marriage registration form, Tokiko dared not take me lightly so she asked her daughter to sign as the second witness."

"After knowing my status, will Chitose dare to go to Tsukasa without Tokiko's permission and persuade Tsukasa to leave me?"

"Unlike in the original anime, Chitose can't make any complaints about Tsukasa's living space. In the anime, Chitose complained that Tsukasa was living in a shabby apartment complex and that such a stinky place doesn't suit Tsukasa."

"Compared to my current status, Nasa is quite incompetent. But hey, I can't complain much about him since I have a golden finger while he doesn't. But even without the golden finger, I could still earn billions of yen from my author work so I'm still better."

"Unlike Nasa, I won't be passive. If Chitose doesn't know her place, I'll just kick her out of the mansion and won't let her be a homewrecker and ruin my and Tsukasa's marriage life."

Looking at Tsukasa who was frozen in time, Sairyoku sighed, "I might have been assuming Tsukasa too much based on the anime and manga I have watched and read. In the end, my existence had influenced her so she isn't as calm and aloof as she was in the anime and manga."

"After all, unlike Nasa, I am not only immortal but can also grant Tsukasa's wish anytime she wants. Whether it was going to the moon, ending her immortality, or spending an eternity with her, I can do any of those."

"It's no wonder she can no longer be as calm and aloof as before. If I were to compare, she now seemed to regain the same hope she had a thousand years ago—the time when she was yearning to travel to the moon to meet Kaguya and ask her to end her immortality."

"However, Tsukasa now isn't the same as the Tsukasa a thousand years ago. Even if she regained hope that her life would finally be fine, she had experienced the tragedies of her hope always leading to despair and futility."

"I had changed her life greatly and Tsukasa hoped that I would never leave her side. But at the same time, she isn't… confident of herself?"

"Ah, this shit is too confusing."

"The only thing I needed to know is that my existence isn't canon in Tonikawa. So I can no longer think of Tsukasa based on what I know about canon in Tonikaku Kawaii. Either way, that doesn't change my love for Tsukasa."
