That night, Kaiba Land welcomed its final celebration. All kinds of fireworks bloomed endlessly in the sky above the park.
Kisaragi stood alone on the balcony of Blue-Eyes Castle, wearing her formal dress as she admired the fireworks.
"Do you like fireworks like these?" Kaiba asked, walking out in a white suit.
"Mm. I do!"
Kisaragi turned back to look at Kaiba, a happy smile on her face. Against the backdrop of the fireworks, she seemed even more radiant.
At that moment, the sternness Kaiba usually wore as president was nowhere to be seen. In its place was tenderness.
"That's good. Kisaragi, there's actually something I've always wanted to tell you."
As Kaiba spoke, he walked up to Kisaragi and took both of her hands.
"Ever since I began to understand the world, my little brother was everything to me. Love and things like it seemed to have nothing to do with me. I once thought I might spend my entire life alone, dedicating myself to KaibaCorp and to the dream I share with my brother."
"Until I met you. In that small game shop, when I saw you for the first time, I felt that the missing piece in my heart had finally been found. And after going through so much with you…"
"When Pegasus sealed my soul, the only thing in my mind was your image. By then, you had already taken root in my heart."
As Kaiba spoke, he took a blue diamond ring from his pocket.
"I searched for this diamond for a long time. It is the same color as your eyes and mine."
Kaiba personally placed the diamond ring on the ring finger of Kisaragi's right hand.
"I love you, Kisaragi."
When Kisaragi heard Kaiba's confession, the color on her face visibly turned red, and her heart began pounding fiercely.
"I want you to become my lifelong partner. Will you?"
Kaiba whispered softly beside Kisaragi's ear.
At that moment, Kisaragi even forgot that she was a transmigrator, and she could not help but nod.
When Kaiba saw her reaction, the joy on his face showed without the slightest concealment.
He held Kisaragi tightly, as if the feelings he had suppressed for too long were all being released at once. A deep, heartfelt kiss fell upon Kisaragi's lips.
As the two embraced and kissed, the fireworks continued to bloom freely in the night sky.
The next morning after Kaiba's confession, Kisaragi woke up in a room inside Blue-Eyes Castle.
"It's morning!"
Kisaragi had only just stretched when the scene of Kaiba kissing her appeared in her mind. Her face flushed red again, and she pulled the blanket over her head.
"What am I supposed to do? Last night, I really said yes to Kaiba…"
Kisaragi was still agonizing over it when, suddenly, she found a way to accept it.
"In the original story, Kaiba and Kisaragi's relationship was really regrettable anyway. I'll just sacrifice myself a little to make up for the two of them!"
At that moment, Kisaragi could only use that thought to make herself accept the situation.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door.
"Kisaragi, are you awake? I'm coming in," Kaiba said from outside.
Hearing that Kaiba had come, Kisaragi immediately blushed and got dressed.
"Seto, you came so early," Kisaragi said.
"Mm. I simply wanted to see you as soon as possible. Let's go to the hall and have breakfast together," Kaiba said, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Wow. I'm used to seeing Kaiba's icy expression, but now he looks so gentle. This contrast is practically cheating!" Kisaragi thought.
"All right. Let's go," Kisaragi said with a smile.
When they arrived at the hall, breakfast had already been prepared by dedicated staff. Before Kaiba sat down, he personally pulled out Kisaragi's chair for her, fully displaying his gentlemanly manners.
Mokuba watched from the side with a strange feeling. His brother was being especially attentive toward Big Sis Kisaragi today, and his whole face was filled with smiles. Then Mokuba noticed the blue diamond ring on the ring finger of Big Sis Kisaragi's right hand and understood.
"Looks like Big Sis Kisaragi will truly become part of our family soon," Mokuba thought.
"Mokuba, what are you smiling about?" Kisaragi asked.
"N-nothing. I just think the weather is really nice today," Mokuba said.
"Isono!" Kaiba suddenly called.
"Yes, sir. What are your orders?"
"Today should be Kaiba Land's rest day. Later, I will be taking Kisaragi around Kaiba Land. Notify everyone and have them prepare," Kaiba said.
"Yes. When the time comes, all Kaiba Land staff will be on duty. I believe you and Miss Kisaragi will have a very pleasant time!"
"From now on, don't address Kisaragi that way. She will be the president's wife of KaibaCorp from now on. You should know how to address her, correct?"
Kaiba looked sideways at Isono.
"Yes, sir! I will notify all staff at Kaiba Land and KaibaCorp of this matter!"
"Mm. I don't want some blind fool disrespecting Kisaragi."
As Kaiba spoke, he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
When Kisaragi heard the words "president's wife," her face flushed red again, and she lowered her head slightly while eating.
Seeing this, Mokuba could not help secretly laughing. In his mind, if any woman in the world was worthy of his brother, it could only be Big Sis Kisaragi. From the first time he met Kisaragi, Mokuba had already believed that. Judging from the current situation, Kisaragi becoming his sister-in-law was already set in stone.
"Hey, I haven't even married you yet. How am I already the president's wife?" Kisaragi said.
"What does that matter? In any case, no one but me can take you away," Kaiba said.
Kisaragi sighed and did not argue further.
After breakfast, Kaiba and Kisaragi strolled through Kaiba Land.
"Even though today is a rest day, there are still so many children playing here," Kisaragi said.
"Yes. On rest days, we simply do not receive adults. Children can play here whenever they wish," Kaiba said.
Kaiba looked at the children playing and thought back to the days he and Mokuba had spent in the orphanage. That period had been a dark time for the Kaiba brothers.
Because their parents had died early, their relatives saw the two children as burdens and sent the brothers to an orphanage. Even later, when the two brothers were adopted by Gozaburo Kaiba, it was merely jumping from one hell into another. Seto Kaiba's childhood held nothing worth looking back on.
Kisaragi saw Kaiba remembering the past and felt somewhat unable to bear it. She gently placed her hand on his.
"Seto, it seems your past is also something you can hardly bear to recall," Kisaragi said.
"Heh. You saw through me. As expected, I can't hide much in front of you," Kaiba said with a smile.
"The reason I built Kaiba Land was to fulfill my dream of creating a paradise where all children can happily play. For that dream, I can use any means necessary and throw myself into the mud. As long as I can make this dream real, I don't mind bearing infamy or becoming someone others hate!"
"When I first met you and saw that you were living alone in that run-down apartment, I thought of my own past. That was why I couldn't wait to have you move into my home. I couldn't bear seeing you live alone in that kind of environment."
Kaiba continued pouring out his feelings in front of Kisaragi, while Kisaragi quietly stayed beside him and listened.
After Kaiba calmed down, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I suddenly got so emotional. Did I scare you?"
Kisaragi shook her head.
"I wasn't scared. Seeing you carry so many things alone, without anyone to talk to, and now finally letting it all out—I think that's a good thing," Kisaragi said.
"Seto, move forward according to your own ideals. And I will always support you. I will become your backing. You need to remember that you are not alone, because I will be behind you."
"Kisaragi…"
At that moment, Kaiba no longer cared who might be around. He tightly embraced Kisaragi and did not let go for a long time.
Kisaragi gently stroked Kaiba's back, as if soothing the sorrow in his heart.
"Do you know? Kaiba Land is not only meant to become a paradise for children. It is also my gift to you," Kaiba whispered by Kisaragi's ear.
"What?!"
Kisaragi was shocked.
Kaiba released her and took a document from inside his coat, handing it to her. After Kisaragi read the contents of the agreement, her pupils trembled.
"Are you insane? You want to give me ownership of this enormous Kaiba Land? Now that KaibaCorp has regained public trust, Kaiba Land's annual profits will surely be astronomical from now on, and you're just handing it over to me so casually?"
"This isn't casual. I planned this from the beginning, and Mokuba agreed as well. So from now on, you own Kaiba Land. Besides, Kaiba Land's profits are insignificant to me. And what's mine is yours, isn't it? I'm simply giving you the dream that belongs to Mokuba and me," Kaiba said.
"A dream, is it?"
Kisaragi smiled faintly.
"Then I'll protect your dream."
The moment Kisaragi said that, Kaiba pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
