Aiko: Quit making up false excuses. You were just lazy.

Sakuchii: GOMEN!

Chapter Fifteen: Contract Of Love - Red Hearts

The Okazaki house hold was quiet. Yukiko, Osamu and Yukio were shopping for ingredients; they had also taken Fuusuke with them. Only Aiko and Haruya were currently present in the fortunetelling shop. Yukiko had insisted Aiko to stay behind to look after the shop. That was an obvious lie, though. The truth was that Aiko and Haruya would cause too much trouble if they went shopping; especially when they were together. That's why it was wise from Yukiko to let them stay behind.

The indigo-haired sorceress was wandering around the fortunetelling shop and sighed loudly. It was so boring. Why she had to be left behind? It would've been much more fun to hang around with everybody. Even since she had caught fever for overusing her magical powers, she had been coped in the house.

The girl went to the living room and sat down on a sofa. She crossed her legs and arms and tapped her left leg to floor. Aiko closed her eyes and with frustrated sigh she then started to wander around the house again. Finally, she entered the kitchen and went to get an apron. After she tied it up the girl went to get some eggs they had brought the day earlier.

Aiko glanced at the oval thing in her hand and sighed. Why would she bother to do something like making a food? The time was making her extremely anxious. Actually she was the most anxious and frustrated when she had absolutely nothing to do. And this was one of those times. After a short while she took a deep breath and was about to hit the eggs against the table to make it crack.

Just around that time a young red-head walked to the kitchen. He had been searching for Aiko, but the girl wasn't in any of the rooms. Kitchen was the last room he searched; mostly because Aiko rarely entered there. His eyes widened in shock when he saw what the girl was doing. This wasn't going to end well.

"Crystal- sthop!" the boy yelled while jumping towards the girl. Aiko got startled of the sudden shout and let go of the egg. As soon as the egg hit the table it exploded.

Aiko and Haruya were thrown aback by a strong force. When the girl somehow managed to get up on her elbows she stared at the room which was left from the explosion. Why had she been so careless? Yukiko would surely get angry at her… no matter where she was she would only cause trouble to people.

"Crystal- okay?" Aiko returned back to reality when she heard faint voice asking. She turned around and saw Haruya standing right before her. The boys' eyes shined from concern. He walked to Aiko and placed his hand on Aiko's cheek; the very one which had the three scars.

"Crystal ish okay… Burn ish glad." he showed a caring smile. Aiko was about to answer to him with a hug but froze when she suddenly saw him being surrounded by eerie aura. "But Crystal shouldh know that cookingh isn'th allowed… thath will only bring explosion!" the red-haired boy scolded Aiko.

Despite being young, Haruya already knew that Aiko and kitchen were the worst combination ever. Whenever that girl entered the kitchen in intention to make food, she would always end up blowing something up. Especially eggs were weak against her power and always ended up exploding.

Though, the real reason why this happened was still mystery.

Aiko stared at the boy with stunned look. He was getting angry at her…

A light laugh came from the girl and she took hold of Haruyas hand. "Nee- how about we make a contract?" she suggested. She wasn't sure what made her to say it. So long she had refused to make the contract because she wanted her sister to make one with Fuusuke first. But now she had a sudden urge to make it. It was like the moment was maybe even little too perfect.

Haruya froze his eyes wide open and glanced at the girl. When their eyes met and Aiko smiled kindly at him, the boy then looked down.

"Burn wants. Contracth with Crystal. Burn likes Crystal. Very much." he all of a sudden started to speak with broken sentences. Aiko giggled lightly at his answer. He surely was adorable in any way a child – and a man – could be. She loved this part of him; though he would soon grow up from it. After that he was just arrogant and selfcentered bastard... not really, but in a way. Despite all that, she still loved him. Very much.

After a short while, the girl stopped laughing and her expression got serious. She started to concentrate her power into one point. Aiko closed her eyes and started to chant. "La fiatti di ie, as ihm difti. Ai ih Ai ot Koi lasti min Firte!" the girl chanted and then slowly bended forward to kiss Haruyas' forehead. The room started to glow brightly. Aiko's chest ached for a moment but slowly everything turned back to normal. The contract had been made.

After the light had faded out the indigo-haired girl immediately checked Haruyas' forehead. She smiled when she saw a red hearts mark there. "I knew it would turn out this way." from the very start she had known that they would end up being partners. There was no one in the world she would love more than this little rascal before her eyes.

And it was the same for Yukiko as well.

"We better not tell Yukichii anything about it. Hide your face with hood even when inside." the girl then told to Haruya. She could imagine just what kind of commotion Yukiko would make if she found out that Aiko had made a contract with Haruya. After all, her beloved Fuusuke hadn't still found his partner.

Aiko sighed. "She should just face and admit the truth and make a contract with him already." Sometimes Yukiko could be really stubborn person. Somehow Aiko had to make Yukiko to agree make the contract with Fuusuke. Otherwise they would never find the right partner for the boy.

And in the case Yukiko really wasn't his partner, they would start searching for the real contract holder. But that's only if…

Now that the contract was out of the way they had yet another trouble to face. Aiko gulped when she turned to look at the kitchen. "We have to clean this up before they'll return." she laughed desperately at Haruya. The boy glanced at her and nodded.

Other wise they would be in deep shit.

Shirou was sitting in his spacious room, glancing outside the window. The day had been boring and he was also worried about the upcoming ball. He was supposed to introduce his future bride on that day, but how he could do that when he hadn't still decided on the person. More like, he didn't know anyone who he could possibly ask for.

With a deep sigh, the boy took out a pocket watch from his pocket. It was the same watch that Tsukina had handled to him when they had gone separate ways. He turned around the watch in his arms, studying it's every detail. It had the royal crest on it; the same crest he had seen all over the palace.

When he opened the watch, inside it was a picture of a pink-haired woman. The person was painted in numerous paintings in the palace. In one she was gracefully standing next to the young King. They were in wedding dresses. Shirou wasn't much of an idiot to get that this person was the former Queen of the country.

But at the same time, he had been told that the pink-haired woman was his mother. If that was the case, then what Hitomi had told to him about being the crown prince was the truth. That would mean that the sick King was his real father… and Atsuya was his twin brother.

His family.

The thought of family brought Tsukina into his mind. Of course, as he held her close to his heart to the point they were real siblings he could ask her to marry him; the thought had occurred his mind; but he would rather not. He was sure that the girl wouldn't appreciate his suggestion. And what's more, he treasured and loved her like family, but she wasn't really to be called beloved.

~ Flashback ~

The young Shirou was sitting in a cowshed on top of hay bales and was staring at something glimmering. It was certainly something a pauper boy should not own, but Shirou had received it from a lonely wandered who had told that he was his parents' acquaintance. The person told that Shirou's parents had asked him to give the pocket watch to their son.

It had the picture of his mother, at least that's what he had been told. Shirou was extremely happy. Finally he got to know something about his parents. Since receiving the watch, he had been staring at it every single day, hoping that one day he could meet his family.

Having only been abandoned by his parents, he still had hopes to actually meet them. His fate was different from Tsukina's whose parents were already dead. The girl though didn't want to believe it and set on journeys to find them. She was very desperate to prove that everyone was wrong, that she still had a family.

"Shirou?" a quiet voice asked, entering to the cowshed.

Speaking of the devil. She always wandered to his side whenever he was thinking about her. Was she a mind-reader or what?

"I'm here." he still decided to answer to her. Tsukina walked to the hay bales and climbed up. When finally up, she sat next to Shirou.

The girl couldn't help noticing the pocket watch and her eyes started shining. "What is that? Where did you get it? It's so cool!" the excitement her voice made Shirou to chuckle. The boy handed it to Tsukina and she started to observe it.

"It's memento of my parents." the boy told, which made Tsukina to turn to him in amaze. While smiling widely, he then added proudly that the woman in the picture was his mother. Slowly Tsukina changed her attention back to the watch. She was staring at him, not daring to move.

"The man told me to hold onto it for now. But once I find someone I treasure and love, a beloved one, I should give that watch to her as a present." the boy blushed. Really didn't completely understand the meaning behind the words, but one thing he knew for sure. The watch was to be given to his wife.

Tsukina seemed to fall into deep thoughts. Shirou was little disturbed by the silence, but Tsukina spoke again before he could say anything. "Say, how about you hand the watch to me every time I go on a journey? As your sister I want to accept the girl you plan on marrying so that she won't end up being a total bitch. This way you won't end up marrying anyone while I'm out and once I'm back I call give you two my blessing… Well, if I do like the girl."

The suggestion came out of nowhere, so Shirou didn't know how to react to it. For a moment, Tsukina's expression saddened. "It would also remind me of you."

- End of Flashback -

After that sentence he had immediately agreed to her suggestion. And they had followed her idea for years. Whenever since went somewhere, she took the watch and once she was back she would immediately hand it back to him and ask if he had found someone he liked.

By so far there had been none. In his short life of sixteen year he still hadn't fallen in love (though it seemed that girls kept competing about his attention, for some reason). Not even onc-

Cinnamon hair.

Shirou's eyes widened in shock. No he wasn't thinking about her, she hadn't even crossed his mind. Not even onc-

Maroon eyes.

It was getting crazy. The more he tried to shake away her from his mind, the more clearly her image appear before him. But it couldn't be. Even he knew that it would be impossible. Things wouldn't just work out. The heck about working out, he wasn't even in love with her in the first place.

He was a paupe- prince!

"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?" Shirou fell down the chair when someone suddenly dashed into the room and yelled so loud that he thought he would turn deaf. When the boy opened his eyes and glanced up, he saw Sayaka standing before him, her arms on her hips while her eyes flamed.

"Fubuki Atsuya-sama, you care to explain the situation to me?" her voice was threatening, so threatening that Shirou didn't know how to answer to her. His whole body was numb. He could only start at her with feared look as his jaw waggled.

"Wha- What do- yo- mean?" he finally managed to mumbled, which made Sayaka only more furious.

"Don't try to act innocent! Ookami-san just visited my room and informed me that you have decided me as your bride and wife." the girl yelled, losing her composure. Tears were slowly appearing into corners of her eyes, but she swallowed them back. Even if she was upset, she first needed to make things clear with the prince.

"So, can you explain to me the meaning of his words? You decided me as your partner without even asking me? And what if I don't want to? I have a feelings too, you know." she released of her anger at poor Shirou. The boy was completely lost, and he didn't even have a chance to give a sound.

Shirou stared as Sayaka went on with her rebellion and wailing. His eyes were wide open. When had he decided to marry Sayaka? What was going on… he didn't know? But one thing was for sure, he felt relieved that Hitomi wasn't present. He couldn't face the girl if she was to hear about the fact.

But it was already too late. Hitomi might not have been in the room, but she was standing right behind the door; trying her best to keep her composure and not drop the server and tea. Her whole body was shaking and she tried to swallow her tears, but they still ended up rolling down her red cheeks.

Why was this happening to her? And just when she had made her resolve to save everyone! After complaining inside her mind, she calmed herself down and dried her tears. Something fishy was going on.

According to Aiko's words Atsuya was supposed to marry the pauper girl, and Shirou was supposed to end up with her. The girl hadn't sayid anything about Sayaka getting married to either one of them. This could only mean… Hitomi's eyes widened in shock.

The enemy's attack!

That's it! Someone was trying to sabotage their plan and the whole fate by getting Shirou to marry Sayaka. The girl was getting more and more sure about her reasoning. This was bad then! She needed to inform the Okazaki's.

Ichinose Yuki.

Hitomi was already heading towards that way when she finally realized the hole in her plan. No, that was dangerous. Someone could over hear them. The safest way was to go there personally. Hitomi closed her eyes and stopped for a moment. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Finally, her maroon-colored eyes opened with a determined look. In years she hadn't left the palace without guards, or her prince. In years she hadn't left the side of her prince. But this was an emergency. If she didn't go they could all die. She also couldn't trust the matter to anyone else, it was too dangerous. In this situation every person was an enemy.

With that she headed towards the stables. On her way she met up with her brother. "Akira, what a good timing!" she yelled, not even bothering to stop. "I'm leaving you in charge!" the girl ran past her brother.

"Where are you going?" Akira asked, and turned around in confusion. Without getting an answer he stared as his younger sister waved her hand at him and turned behind a corner. What in the world was going on?

"Prepare a horse for me! A fast one!" Hitomi yelled at the surprised stable boys. They were shocked of her sudden appearance, as she barely entered the stables. The horse was prepared for her in no time and she quickly mounted it. A dress might not be the best outfit to ride a horse, but she had no time to change her clothes.

The girl watched as the gate was slowly opened and she then commanded her horse. There was no time to lose. She needed to get to her destination and fast. The fortunetelling shop.

He was finally there, Terumi Afuro smirked as he was standing before the entrance of Sparrow Cake shop. It seems that it was busy day as people kept coming and going non-stop. For a moment he wondered if this was right moment to be bothering her, but in the end decided to go in. It was no or never.

The whole shop was so packed with people that Aphrodi barely fit in. And it was no wonder. The sixteenth birthday of the crown prince was coming closer. The day of the ball was also the day when the prince would officially announce his future bride to all citizens. It's was a holiday and day of celebration to everyone who lived in the city. That's why everyone was making reservations for cakes.

Aphrodi smirked. This was one of the best days for cake shops and Yumiko would most likely earn more now than she would for the whole next year. Royal celebration was always global. That's how things worked in every kingdom. The next time such party was held was when the royal heir was to be born. Especially if the first child was a boy, then the party would continue for a week.

The boy waited patiently as the costumers made their reserves and left the shop. He didn't know how long it took, but finally it was only him, Yumiko and one costumer. The girl was taking down the old man's request.

"So one strawberry cake for your grandsons' birthday?" the girl made sure and scribbled notes on her paper. The old man nodded and started to speak about his grandson and remember the day he was born. Yumiko smiled widely at the man and nodded few times implying that she was listening to him.

When the old man was done, she then spoke. "The cake will be ready for tomorrow. You can come and take in anytime you want." the girl told kindly to her costumer.

"You're so nice," the grandfather told with a wide smile. "I wouldn't mind having you as a wife for my grandson." he mumbled while leaving the shop.

Yumiko kept on her smile, but inside she wasn't really pleased. She was glad to hear that someone would like her as a wife, but there was no way she would marry a four year old brat. Only San was someone crazy enough to fall in love with brat.

The girl sighed. Finally she had served her last costumer and could take a short brake. Or that was at least what she thought. When opening her eyes they met up with a pair or red ones. Immediately her expression changed into a glare, why was he there?

"What are you doing here?" she questioned, turning her back to him and trying to concentrate on doing something else. For some unknown reason she felt extremely anxious when being with him. Most likely no reason was because of what happened. She was still angered by that money. "If you want your money back then by my quest."

"Is this how you usually threat your costumers. I'm surprised." Aphrodi didn't even flinch at her attitude. He remained calm and kept on smiling; he had the feeling it would annoy the girl. Yumiko's eyes widened and she turned to the boy. Oh this was going to be so annoying.

"Let me ask you once again. What are you doing here?" the girl questioned. She hoped that this time he would actually answer her.

"I came to ask you to dance with me at the ball."

"Ahaha haa, what a good joke. First of all I don't dance; secondly I will be busy with reservations on that day." Yumiko laughed out loud. Was the boy out of his mind, trying to ask her to come and dance with him? To the royal palace? No way that she would accept his request. Never!

"I'm serious." for once the boy expression and voice told that he wasn't backing off. It was a battle of strong minds. The one who fell first would lose the battle. Yumiko wasn't sure how long her mind was to last, she was already exhausted of the busy day in the shop.

"I really can't dance. And there's no way I can set my foot in royal palace. I'm not welcomed there, a commoner like me." she told the boy. Hopefully with this he would finally leave her alone.

But Aphrodi wasn't going to back off. "You'll be with me." Yumiko glanced at him with murderous look. Did he really think that that would make her accept his request? No way. "There is no one else but you who I want as my dance partner and I will come to beg as my times I need till you finally accept my request."

Yumiko gulped. The boy was serious. His eyes told that no way in hell he was lying. She had only two things to do. Either to continue the mental battle with him until she finally gave up, or give up and accept his request. If she had been in her best shape she would definitely continue the battle and make him to give up. But right now she was so exhausted that he wanted to have a shower and fall to her bed.

"F- Fine. I'll come." the wall that Aphrodi thought he could never break finally fell down. He had won the battle, she would come with him. "But I really don't know how to dance… so you have to teach me… so that I don't go and make fool of myself… and you…"

A wide smile appeared on Aphrodis face and he ended up laughing. "I'll be glad to." he told while taking hold old Yumikos hand and kissing it.

Atsuya and Ohiyoko were about to head out for shopping when they heard a voice calling for them. "Ohioyoko." the couple was approached by another couple. The girl had shoulder length black hair and blue eyes while the boy had spiky grey hair and pure black eyes.

"Kageto-kun, Yomi." Ohiyoko was surprised of the appeared of her few friends. She had known Kageto since her childhood and they became close with Yomi when she started going out with him. More like "starting to go out" the two youngsters were told that their families had decided on arranged marriage.

"How are you, we haven't seen each other in a while." Yomi walked to the girl, completely ignoring the presence of Atsuya. It was only when Kageto noticed him and she did as well. The two of them stared at the boy who was standing next to their best friend.

"Ohiyoko, who is he? Could it be… future husband? Have you finally decided to get married?" Yomi started questioning the girl in teacher-like manner, her expression remaining serious. She made a quick glance at Atsuya from time to time.

Ohiyoko sweat dropped. The two of them were both calm type, but sometimes Yomi managed to surprise her with that curiosity of her. With a light blush on her cheeks she then answered. "He's Atsuya-san, an old acquaintance of the family. Because of his own reasons, he'll be staying in our house for a while." she explained the situation. She had to lie to her friends, because they would never believe the truth if she told that he was the crown prince. No one would, it took a month for her to actually believe it so there was no way they would believe it just like that.

"You're no fun." Yomi blunted out her honest feelings. Why this girl was so harsh on me. Could she just forgive her father already and start finding a possible candidate already.

Kageto walked to Atsuya. "I haven't seen you here before." he told, which made Atsuya to freeze. What he was supposed to tell now. The truth… no… he needed to think of a good lie and quickly.

"I'm from outside the capital city so it's no wonder. I'm currently staying in Konoes' house due to personal reasons." he explained, unknown to the fact that his story matched with Ohiyokos'. Their minds were working alike.

Kageto stared at the boy with suspicious look on his face, but then turned to face Ohiyoko. "What do you think of her?"

Atsuya's eyes widened. "I- eh-um-me?" he mumbled. For some reason this felt like he was being questioned by the father of his crush. "What do you think of her? Your honest feelings." Kageto once more asked.

Atsuya inhaled and then spoke, "I love her."

Kageto closed his eyes. "Then take good care of her. I've never seen her smiling so brightly while standing next to a man. I really hope that you can treasure her." he spoke like a father giving his daughter away to a man.

Atsuya smiled. "I will." there was no way he wouldn't treasure the woman he loved from the bottom of his heart.

"Shadow, we need to go. The preparations for the ball party are still unfinished." the boys suddenly heard Yomi calling for her bridegroom. Kageto strolled to his bride and they said byes to Ohiyoko. Atsuya watched them going and then turned to look at the palace.

The ball was soon.

Hanaka had estimated that around a week had passed since they had arrived to Excaty. And yet, they hadn't been even said anything about the ritual. More like, the word hadn't been even mentioned for the whole week.

Instead, the first two days passed by as they hold a welcome party for the two girls and their partners. The next few days Razel showed them around Excaty and introduced them to the most influential people in the county of mages. The blonde then added than along with her father, the Okazaki twins and the boys were the ones who had the most power in the country. No one was to disobey them.

That news surprised both Hanaka and San. They couldn't believe that such young girls and even younger boys (though they were cursed) were the most powerful mages' among all of them. Only the elder was someone who held more power.

It was all about genes, San thought. After all, they were the children of the legendary chaos, so it was no wonder that they had such much power. Sometimes it seemed that the twins were… well… over powered.

"Good morning!" the duo was greeted by Razel. The girl welcomed her into their room while they were in the middle of changing clothes. San immediately covered her bare skin, but Hanaka didn't even bug. She just continued putting on her chess. After all, it was usual that maids came running in and out of her room while she had her clothes changed.

"Good morning." San greeted the blonde. Only after the door was closed again she could continue putting on her dress. Her dress was typical black colored lolita dress, with loads of different while details and accessories, such as ribbons. The dress ended little below her knees and was continued by black stockings. Her shoes were black court shoes with high and large heels. Her long brown hair was tied down on a low bun so that it wouldn't get on her way.

Hanaka's dress was short sleeved, plain green suit with golden detailing. The hem was flared and reached all the way to floor. Her legs weren't visible, but as she was almost the same height as her companion one could assume that she was also wearing high heels. Her hair was tried up on a French braid which started from the left side of her head, just above eyebrow, and was braided all the way to right side. The braid ended around her neck and the rest of the hair was on a ponytail.

Compared to the other two, Razels outfit looked like a paupers. She was wearing something like a chic one piece jumpsuit with wide-leg pants. It was colored dark green and was pleated. The top was invisible as the girl had tied a forest brown cloak around her. At last she was only wearing moccasins. Her hair was tied on a thick French braid, but still the tips of her hair managed to slash the floor.

Razel stared as the two girls getting ready and then sighed. "You better change your clothes." she announced, maybe a little too late as the other two girls had just finished their preparations. Hanaka and San glanced at each other. They then turned to Razel with "why?" written all over their faces.

The blonde girl let out another sigh. She couldn't believe just how much she despised royalties, especially humans. Couldn't they read the mood even a little bit? Well maybe it was her fault for not telling what they were about to do. "Seven days have finally passed, so it's about you're getting used to this world. It's about time we start the ritual." she smirked.

Once again the other girls glanced at each other. It really was about the time they started the ritual. They were supposed to be in a hurry and still those mages dared to hold unnecessary parties for them. What was their point?

Razel stared at the two girls starting to take of their clothes and exhaled loudly. This was going to take so long. "Someone, bring a pair of change clothes to these two. We're falling behind on our schedule." she used telepathy, which was common power along the mages. Though, only Aiko had mastered the power.

Meanwhile the girls were still changing the clothes to more comfortable ones, something strange was happening in the dark room where Okazaki Airi was in deep sleep.

The whole room was suddenly illuminated by a strong light. As it slowly faded away, the changes in Airis body were seen. As she before had green diamond and black club on her left cheek just under her eye, now a red heart had appeared on the right side at the same place where the green diamond was on the left side.

Something was out of place. The indigo-haired girl was actually wearing a smile on her face. She was not just having a serious or expressionless face. She was actually smiling.

Just one more and the plan would be perfected.

The contract between Suzuno Fuusuke and Okazaki Yukiko.

A blue spade.

She was finally there. Hitomi sighed of relieve when she was standing before the fortunetelling shop. She got off her horse and took hold of it reins. She tied the reins on a wooden fence so that the horse wouldn't wander off while she's with the twins.

After that she stood before the door. After a deep inhale she knocked the door. As an answer a person came down flying off the door. Hitomi's eyes widened as she could only feel air pressure forcing past her. The said person rolled on the ground.

The girl glanced back. "Yukiko?" was an empty question.

The indigo-haired girl laughed desperately. "Oh, Hitomi-san." she stood up and fixed her clothes. They were ripped off in various places and her hair was mess. No, the whole girl was a mess.

"What happened, you look… awful…" Hitomi didn't want to say it aloud. The twins were sensitive (at least they acted to be) so she didn't want to hurt their feelings. Well she was also dealing with Yukiko, in case it had been Aiko, she would've just laughed her ass off. And furthermost, she was dealing with a mage. God knows what they could do once they had been angered.

"I'd say that you chose the worst time to pay a visit." the indigo head laughed desperately, but still invited Hitomi in. It wasn't just Yukiko who was in mess. The whole house was as if a tornado had just passed by. Yukiko walked to the living room.

"Yo, Nee-san, we have quests." Yukiko smiled happily. Hitomi peeked behind her back to see the older sister. With the sight of Aiko, she froze. Was that really Aiko?

What welcomed her wasn't a happy-go-lucky indigo-head. It was something far more furious.

The girl before her had enraged red eyes and she simply reeked of killing intention. But what scared Hitomi the most was the pair of black wings growing from Aiko's back. It was as if a fallen angel… no the goddess of death herself had appeared before them. Everyone was staring at her with frozen looks, not daring to make even a slightest move.

Yukiko chuckled, not so happily though. "You really chose the worst time to pay a visit."

Sakuchii: What in the world has happened in the fortunetelling shop? And what has happened to Aiko?

Aiko: I'm fine thanks.

Sakuchii: I'm not asking you.

Yukiko: Sorry, our athor is tired. It's way past bedtime, but she's still trying to end this chapter and upload it.

Aiko: We're sorry for the grammar mistakes.

Sakuchii: See you guys next time, and please do leave a review~
