"A dance of clouds that belongs only to us."

Author's Note:

Third update

110 Cloud Dance

Misaki Shokuhou laughed. What is there left to hold onto now? What reason is there to reject Momo?

A smile bloomed on her face, washing away all the chaos and pain from before, leaving only a final lingering affection.

Let's use this last little bit of time to experience feelings we haven't felt before.

The kind of joy, warmth, intoxication, and comfort that two close people should experience.

This was something that should have existed between two people, but it was twisted by her encounter with Momo, twisted into a chaotic mess, and then completely corrupted.

Now, nothing from the past matters anymore; in this last little bit of time, I can let go of everything.

"So……"

Misaki Shokuhou gently curled her fingers and grasped Momo's hand, saying, "Let me see what this so-called Dance of the Clouds really is."

"Then, excuse me."

Mo Mo didn't stand on ceremony and reached out his other hand to touch Misaki Shokuhou's neck. Misaki Shokuhou was slightly taken aback, but she didn't resist at all.

This is a kind of trust, a trust in Momo, even though this trust seems to have come a little late.

However, as a final reminiscence... it wasn't bad.

Momo placed his fingers on Misaki Shokuhou's neck, and a dense white light flowed from Momo's hand, enveloping Misaki Shokuhou's body. The light gradually expanded around Misaki Shokuhou and finally condensed into the shape of a swimming fish.

"This is……"

Misaki Shokuhou's eyes immediately lit up. Could it be...?

"It's not exactly the same. I made some modifications and added wings. After all, this isn't a real sea, but a sea of ​​clouds."

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou also saw the full picture of the white light around her. It had turned into a strange fish with butterfly wings, and Misaki Shokuhou was now on the back of the strange fish.

Everything was so similar to what Momo had in his mind.

“I provide power, and I have temporarily connected my power with the power within you. The two should be able to resonate, thus allowing you to control this illusory body.”

After listening to Mo Mo's words, Misaki Shokuhou's eyes grew brighter and brighter. With a thought, she sensed that there seemed to be another huge body outside her own.

The body belongs to the fish.

Although controlling this thing was a completely new experience for Misaki Shokuhou, as someone who had mastered mental control, getting started with mental powers was not a problem at all, especially since it was a power that could be controlled from the same source.

The red markings on Misaki Shokuhou's body began to detach from her body and extend into the body of the large fish that had transformed into white light. They seemed to become the fish's nerves, spreading throughout its entire body. Then, under Mo Mo's expectant gaze, the red network penetrated deep into the fish's wings.

Finally, with a gentle flutter of her wings, Misaki Shokuhou slowly rose, detaching herself from Momo's grasp and floating away.

"I... am flying, flying with my own power!"

Misaki Shokuhou's face was filled with surprise. Unlike when Momo carried her through the air, she was now using her mind to control the power of her body and take flight.

Although this power was borrowed from Momo.

"How about it? Not bad, right? This kind of power is mine alone. Cao Qi, it's too late for you to regret it now. This is your last chance to enjoy it."

Misaki Shokuhou rolled her eyes and said, "This amount of time is enough. What about you?"

Mo Mo smiled slightly, then suddenly opened his arms, the white light on his body gathered into his body, and then began to fall from the sky, as if in free fall, and in the blink of an eye he fell into the sea of ​​clouds, as if he had fallen into the real ocean.

"Ah, Momo!"

Misaki Shokuhou cried out in surprise. She didn't know what had happened, but she acted instinctively, flapping her wings to chase after Momo, who had fallen into the sea of ​​clouds.

But the next moment, she knew she didn't have to do that.

"Waaah—"

A long, drawn-out, peculiar cry echoed from the sea of ​​clouds. The voice was so familiar that the moment it appeared, Misaki Shokuhou's entire soul trembled.

Those were the longings and memories that Misaki Shokuhou had kept deep in her heart, things she had previously hidden away as shame and wounds.

But now... since it's all over, what's the point of hiding them?

Before long, the trading power will be activated, Misaki Shokuhou will forget everything, her life will restart, leaving only Momo with these memories, seemingly happy and joyful memories.

Unbeknownst to her, Misaki Shokuhou's heart gradually softened.

Everything that had happened before seemed to vanish with each flap of her wings, leaving Misaki Shokuhou with only a slowly rekindling emotion.

Does she hate or love Mo Mo? Is this feeling twisted or normal? Does she despise this feeling or dare not face it?

None of that matters anymore, because...

Like Momo, Misaki Shokuhou is no longer a person, but a fish.

"Waaah—"

The long, drawn-out cry emanated from Misaki Shokuhou's mouth, and with the special enhancement of her fish body, it became a cry that belonged only to the two of them.

Not only that, Misaki Shokuhou took action again, plunging headlong into the place where Momo had fallen. Where Momo had fallen into the sea of ​​clouds, countless clouds began to churn, as if something beneath the surface of the sea was about to break through the water.

"Waaah—"

The voices of two people... no, two fish intertwined as Misaki Shokuhou plunged into the sea of ​​clouds, while Momo emerged from the sea of ​​clouds.

The two voices, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes left, sometimes right, blended together in perfect harmony to create a long, drawn-out tone that carried far and wide, resounding throughout the entire sea of ​​clouds. Even in some quiet places in Academy City, many people looked up at the enormous clouds in the sky.

What's there...?

Why is there a sound?

No one knows what happened in the sea of ​​clouds. Only those above the sea of ​​clouds can see two huge and beautiful white figures leaping in the rolling clouds.

They chase and entwine each other, sometimes diving deep into the sea of ​​clouds and disappearing from the surface, and sometimes suddenly breaking through the layers of clouds and flying high into the sky.

There was no music, but the calls of the two fish themselves formed the music. They danced to the music, expressing the instinctive rhythm in their hearts and releasing the emotions suppressed in their hearts.

Time passed, and the white light around Misaki Shokuhou gradually faded with the flapping of her wings, as if foreshadowing the end of their past.

"Waaah—"

Misaki Shokuhou seemed to sense the changes in her body and, realizing that it was about to end, she suddenly raised her body and soared into the endless sky.

Her wings grew smaller and smaller, yet the frequency of their flapping increased; her body became more and more broken, yet the light in her eyes grew ever brighter.

Finally, the last glimmer of light on her body disappeared, and the pair of wings made of white light completely vanished, turning into specks of white light that dissipated around Misaki Shokuhou, beautifully complementing her pure white wedding dress.

Having lost her upward momentum, Misaki Shokuhou began to fall, faster and faster. Below her was an endless sea of ​​clouds, and below that was a height that filled her with terror.

However, at this moment, Misaki Shokuhou felt no fear whatsoever. Her face, flushed with an alluring blush, seemed to testify to her final burst of passion.

She gently closed her eyes, feeling the airflow around her gradually accelerating. The airflow carried away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and this time, Misaki Shokuhou did not try to hide their presence.

Misaki Shokuhou cried.

Why she cried was no longer something Misaki Shokuhou cared about or thought about; after all, it was all over.

Below her, there was someone... someone from her past who was about to become someone she herself had forgotten, who would give her a final farewell.

Mo Mo.

The light on Momo's body gradually dissipated, and she flew into the sky, heading towards Misaki Shokuhou, where she entangled herself around Misaki Shokuhou and helped her slow down.

Sensing the presence of Momo's power, Misaki Shokuhou opened her eyes. She pressed down the fluttering hem of her skirt, lifted the long golden hair flowing in front of her, and smiled brightly at Momo.

That wasn't all. Seemingly having made up her mind, she adjusted her posture, stretched out her arms, opened her embrace, and shouted at Mo Mo, "Hold me!"

Mo Mo naturally wouldn't refuse. She also stretched out her arms, and the two people falling from the sky caught each other. However, the force of Misaki Shokuhou's fall seemed to exceed Mo Mo's control, pressing Mo Mo into the sea of ​​clouds. Then, the two of them disappeared into the white ocean.

After a long while, Mo Mo emerged from the sea of ​​clouds again, carrying Misaki Shokuhou. This time, the blush on Misaki Shokuhou's face was even more alluring, and she seemed to have a shy expression on her face.

Why did you kiss me?

Momo whispered in Misaki Shokuhou's ear, and Misaki Shokuhou blushed and pushed Momo's face away, saying, "It was just... a goodbye kiss. Anyway, I won't remember any of this. Consider it a bonus for you."

"We had an agreement that you couldn't do anything, so... I'll have to take the initiative. Don't overthink it."

"Is that so..."

Mo Mo smiled slightly, released Misaki Shokuhou from his embrace, and pulled her hand back into his own. Sensing Mo Mo's action, Misaki Shokuhou looked at Mo Mo with a final lingering affection in her eyes.

"Time is almost up."

"Ah."

Even though it was the last minute, the two of them didn't seem to be in a hurry. It was as if simply floating hand in hand in the air was enough.

"Hey, Caoqi."

"Ah."

"If, I mean if..."

Mo Mo smiled as she looked into Misaki Shokuhou's beautiful star-shaped eyes and said, "If we had a chance to start over, our relationship could have been much better."

"It's not so distorted, it's more natural, and we trust and understand each other, without this awkward feeling."

"Would we have had a chance to truly be together back then?"

Misaki Shokuhou's breathing paused slightly, and a tremor appeared in her eyes as she looked at Mo Mo, waiting for his final words.

"Cao Qi, I love you. Even if you forget me, I will still love you. This is my eternal promise."

The tears that had disappeared from Misaki Shokuhou's eyes reappeared, not only because of Momo's confession, but also because she felt the arrival of the power of the trading authority. Everything about Momo began to disappear from her mind, and the red and white markings on her body gradually faded and disappeared.

It's really... over.

"Will do!"

Misaki Shokuhou cried out suddenly, throwing herself into Mo Mo's arms. Biting her lip, she sobbed uncontrollably, saying, "Because..."

"I also……"

I like you...

Even though everything is distorted...

but……
