You looked straight at Himiko in your arms, and she dared not meet your gaze, remaining silent all along.
Unable to pry open Himiko's mouth, you could only give up. It was impossible for you to force Himiko, as that was not your way. The only thing you could be sure of was that Himiko definitely liked you as well, but there seemed to be a barrier between you, a barrier that prevented Himiko from opening up to you.
You placed Himiko on the Taishi Chair specially made for her, smiled slightly, stood up, and prepared to go to the seaside to see Little Cherry.
"I am an ominous woman." As you turned your back, Himiko suddenly spoke these words.
With a raised eyebrow, you turned around, kneeling on one knee in front of Himiko, saying earnestly, "In my hometown, this is how a man proposes to a woman. Today, I, you, want to propose to you, Himiko. I want you to marry me and become my wife."
