Ema's friend, Endou Komari, pays a visit to them late at night carrying a paper bag.
Ema has known Komari since university. She is a yuri mangaka and she once interviewed Aira to get material for one of her stories.
From the paper bag, she pulls out three volumes of manga with cute girls on the cover.
"These are...?"
"I finished the manga based on Aira-chan and Ema."
The manga apparently reflects the contents of that interview. Komari goes on to explain that it has been well-received.
Aira picks up the manga and starts flipping through it while feeling embarrassed.
"Since it got popular, I could get three volumes published. I really have to thank you two."
Although the names have been changed, the girls that the story revolves around certainly resemble Aira and Ema.
This is a love story between a strong-willed high school girl and a sexy older woman.
On the last page of the third and final volume, those two are smiling happily while wearing wedding dresses.
"...So it's a happy ending."
Aira secretly rejoices.
She had been feeling a little anxious that it might have a bad end.
"Do you want to read it as well, Ema?"
"I have to start streaming now."
After telling them to take their time, Ema leaves the room.
Now that only Aira and Komari are left in the room, Komari puts her hands together apologetically.
"I'm sorry I modeled the characters after you two without permission. I'll make sure to make it up to you somehow."
"Don't worry about it. I'm kind of happy you did."
Though the names and events in the story are different, the story based on the two of them concluded with the happiest of endings.
"Since Ema and I are both women... I think we'll have more hardships than a heterosexual couple..."
Aira stares at the two characters in their wedding dresses.
When she was a little girl, Aira harbored a desire to someday have a wedding with the person she loves.
Now that she has gotten older, she has already found the person her heart is set on.
In the distant future, Ema will undoubtedly look absolutely stunning wearing a wedding dress for her marriage.
Aira definitely will not allow anyone else to have the position next to Ema when the time comes.
"...This is your dream, isn't it, Aira-chan?"
"Eh...?"
"Having a wedding with the person you love."
When she wondered why Komari knew that, Komari pulls out a tablet from her tote bag.
"This is from the interview I had with you back then."
At first, Aira answered the questions verbally. However, as she gradually got more embarrassed, they later switched to having her write her answers in a questionnaire.
Two years ago, Aira had indeed written, "Having a wedding with the person I love," in the dreams for the future section.
"...Knowing Ema, she'll definitely make it happen. Despite how she lives, she has tons of money so she'll definitely hold a spectacular wedding."

After laughing jokingly, Komar lowers her eyes.
A thin layer of tears coats her eyes.
"Thank you."
"Eh..."
"You know, a long time ago, Ema told me... that there is no point being serious about love... that a person who could love her would never come along... so there's no point getting her hopes up just to get disappointed. Although she said that, she was able to face forward again... and believe in people. It's all thanks to you, Aira-chan."
Komari has been by Ema's side as a friend for a long time, so there's no doubt she had her own thoughts about Ema's situation.
She continued seeing her friend falling apart day by day, so she must have always been concerned about Ema in her own way.
"...That's why, thank you. For teaching Ema how to love again."
Aira slowly digests Komari's words.
After all the hardships and suffering Ema went through, she could finally look forward once again and move on.
That was not guaranteed to happen. It's only because Ema became stronger and summoned up her courage for the sake of love.
Recently, Aira tends to forget how fortunate she is to have Ema by her side.
It is not a given for people to be together with the person they love. In fact, it's closer to a miracle.
Looking out the window, large drops of rain pour down. Even though she finally has a day off, she can't go out.
The rainy season is now in full swing and the weather has been dreary lately.
"The rain isn't stopping."
The humidity has been making her hair frizzy. Even if she uses her curler on her eyelashes, they get ruined not long after.
Aira considers getting eyelash perms for the rainy season when Ema beckons to her.
"...Aira, come over here."
Aira sits down next to Ema.
Then, Ema raises Aira's left hand.
"Let's see... To the bride, Hoshimiya Aira-san. Do you swear your love to Ichijou Ema-san?"
What in the world is happening?
While confused, Aira replies with the only answer that comes to mind.
"I do..."
"Now ask me."
"What? Are we having a mock wedding?"
When she lets out a giggle, Ema urges her by saying, "Just hurry up and say it."
After clearing her throat, Aira imitates Ema.
"To the other bride, Ichijou Ema-san. Do you also swear your undying love to Hoshimiya Aira-san?"
"I do."
Ema puts her hand behind her back and pulls not a navy ring box.
She opens the box to reveal two beautiful silver rings side by side.
Ema takes one of them and puts it on the ring finger of Aira's left hand.
It's a perfect fit, instantly making Aira's left hand truly a sight to behold.
"Eh..."
"Da-da-da-da~"
Ema tries to liven up things with playful sound effects, but that's not what surprises Aira.
"What is this...?"
"A ring."
"A ring... I can see that."
Ema is being unusually bashful.
Ema's cheeks are dyed pink as she continues to speak softly.
"A few days ago, Komari told me..."
"Eh...?"
"She said that you looked so envious when you stared at the wedding scene... so think of these as engagement rings. How about we pick out proper wedding rings together before we get married?"
Aira looks at the remaining ring in the ring box.
Being able to wear matching rings with her beloved Ema fills her with happiness from the bottom of her heart.
"...I wanted to do something romantic, but maybe this is a bit lame...?"
"It isn't... it isn't lame at all. I'm really happy."
Hearing Aira's response, Ema pats her chest in relief.
"Where would you like to have our wedding?"
"Since it will be our once-in-a-lifetime, how about overseas?"
"As you wish."
Aira chuckles at Ema's princely tone.
She will surely try to act like an adult and protect Aira from now on.
Ema is more kind and more delicate than anyone else. She will surely protect Aira even if she has to use herself as a shield. However, Aira wants to protect Ema as well.
Aira wants to make sure the woman who has been through so much pain never has to suffer again.
From now on, she wants to share a life full of laughter together with Ema.
No matter what kind of opponent appears, she'll bare her fangs and drive them away.
To protect Ema, no matter how noisy others call her, Aira will continue barking against anyone who wishes to harm her.
Even if others tease her for being like a Pomeranian, she will keep barking to protect Ema.
"Now then, a kiss to seal our vows."
They both smile and exchange a kiss that is no more than a peck on the lips.
No matter how many times Aira experiences this soft sensation, it delights her.
She hopes this happy smile of Ema's never disappears.
Aira takes the remaining ring from the ring box and puts it on the ring finger of Ema's left hand.
It's a perfect fit. The silver looks beautiful against her white skin.
While wearing matching rings, the two hold hands.
It's almost like they can feel each other's love through their palms.
As she stares at Ema's smile, she can feel tears gradually welling up in her eyes.
The warmth of these tears she's shedding due to love...
The joy that comes from being with the person she loves...
Aira was taught all these things by her.
