Truly this is a day fit for this season, Neko-sensei thought as he leisurely sipped his whipped hot milk. A day fit for holidays, for people to meet, for declarations to be made… for love must be carried forward! This is a day to inspire matrimony!

A robin in a nearby tree eyed the cat warily. The aura around the feline was distinctly unusual, and the robin didn't like how the other's eyes were glistening.

The sort of day that sends a man's blood pulsing through his veins, to embolden him to lay forth persuasions and gifts of the amorous type!

The robin decided to make himself scarce.

Young Mytho might need assistance. Then again, he might not. He has come far under my tutelage. He has surprised me, being with so many other women other than Rue-sama, but he seems to have settled down now.

Another sip of his drink, then he frowned.

I must keep Femio under control during this time. We cannot have bulls charging through the buildings of the academy! Perhaps locking him up securely would be advisable. I cannot assign him extra practice; I do not wish to marry him!

He shuddered.

"Fakir!"

And there is Ahiru-chan. The cat sighed.

"Fakir! Wait up!"

"What is it?"

"We could go to the party together, you know."

"You do know what it is for, right?"

"To celebrate the upcoming holiday! Don't tell me you've forgotten?"

There was a pause. "No, but I think you have."

"What is that supposed to mean? Fakir? Fakir!"

Perhaps Fakir and Ahiru are the ones whom I should assist. They seem to need someone's expertise in the arena of love. The cat smiled and stretched. Ah, such is the joy of the youthful!
