It's a long story.
Haru was a transmigrator.
In the original timeline, Haru thought he had transmigrated into Resident Evil.
He was chased by hordes of monsters in a place called Nagazora City and didn't even last a day before meeting his end.
Could there be a more unlucky transmigrator than him?
Haru died with reluctance and frustration, only to find himself back at the moment he had just transmigrated.
Death return? Or time rewind?
Haru thought this was his golden finger, similar to the ability of Subaru Natsuki from "Re:Zero"!
But as the number of loops increased, he gradually discovered the truth...
There was no death return at all!
It was simply the Cocoon of Finality activating its loop mechanism, reshaping time again and again.
Due to the special nature of being a transmigrator, Haru could retain memories from each loop, creating the illusion that he could return by death.
Tired of the endless repetitive loops and not wanting to be crushed by Honkai anymore...
Haru rose up in resistance, summarizing each death experience, discovering and nurturing powerful Valkyries, constantly iterating his strategies.
Finally, he successfully completed a no-damage speedrun of Honkai and fought his way to the Cocoon of Finality.
The Cocoon of Finality tried to activate the loop to reset everything, but Haru also resisted the Finality Authority and destroyed the cocoon at the same moment!
A new timeline was born from the loop...
Only this time, Earth was no longer dominated by the Cocoon of Finality!
Honkai completely disappeared, and the world became peaceful and ordinary.
In terms of achievements, Haru was undoubtedly a savior, even though his original intention wasn't to save the world.
"Thinking about it now, I'm glad I successfully saved the world..."
Haru gazed tenderly at his girlfriend's profile, watching her happily taste the cake.
After erasing the Cocoon of Finality, having achieved his goal, he fell into emptiness and confusion, losing interest in everything in the world... until he met the lively Elysia.
The free-spirited girl was like a cute and charming fairy, bringing happiness to those she liked with sincerity and passion.
If the world was a boring gray...
Then the appearance of the fairy brought an interesting touch of pink to the world.
Haru was gradually attracted to the pure and innocent girl, and his boring daily life became colorful because of her presence. At some point, he began looking forward to spending every future day with the pink fairy.
In past loops...
Haru had also been in relationships and had thoughts of spending the rest of his life with other Valkyries.
But in this timeline, he probably wouldn't fall for anyone else anymore, because a lovely fairy had already firmly occupied his heart.
—He would always love Elysia!
"Mm? Want to taste it together with the fairy?"
Perhaps the love in his gaze was too intense, the girl who had just finished a bite of cake tilted her head and offered him the fork in her hand.
Haru smiled and shook his head.
This custom-made cake contained a surprise, and he couldn't eat it before Elysia discovered it.
"Don't want any? Then the fairy will enjoy it all by herself~?"
The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, maintaining her composure as she forked another piece of cake and put it in her mouth to chew slowly, her expression focused and blissful.
Before long, only the last bite of cake remained.
Under Haru's expectant gaze...
The girl slowly swallowed the cake and smiled sweetly: "Mm, so delicious!"
Wait, this isn't right?!!
Haru stared at Elysia, who seemed completely oblivious, his eyes widening in shock.
He couldn't help but lean down, his eyes almost touching the plate in front of the girl, confirming that the cake had been completely consumed by Elysia.
Then why would—
Haru looked up at the girl, his dark eyes filled with shock and confusion.
He had hidden an engagement ring in the cake, but Elysia looked completely unaware of it, making Haru worry about a certain possibility.
"You swallowed the ring... mmph?!"
Haru's words were cut off mid-sentence.
Because Elysia gently kissed his lips, her blue eyes flashing with a mischievous smile.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The girl's kiss was full of tenderness, carrying the sweet fragrance of cake. The contact between their lips allowed their hearts to merge in warmth and moisture.
When this extremely romantic and lingering kiss ended...
A rose ring set with a pink diamond appeared between Haru's lips.
After savoring the taste of the girl's lips for a moment, Haru took down the diamond ring and looked at the smiling Elysia.
"Actually, I found the ring you hid on the first bite~?"
Elysia playfully winked, then blushed and shyly extended her left hand.
Understanding her intention, Haru knelt on one knee and placed the diamond ring on Elysia's ring finger.
"Elysia, I like you!"
"Please marry me!"
"Really, you're being too formal. The fairy is getting a bit embarrassed."
Elysia's beautiful eyes were slightly misty with emotion. After a coquettish complaint, she bloomed like a flower, showing an incredibly happy smile: "Yes! I agree, I accept, I love you!"
Although he already knew the girl's answer in his heart.
Haru still stood up with a slight smile, his face showing undisguised joy.
"With this, the engagement ceremony is complete..."
Haru's words trailed off as he stared in amazement at Elysia taking out a men's ring from the cake she had made herself.
"It seems we really are like a married couple, even our way of preparing surprises is exactly the same~?"
The fairy blushed as she spoke, her shy expression worth more than a thousand love poems.
Before Haru could react, she immediately knelt on one knee, holding up the ring she had specially prepared for Haru, her tone playful yet sincere: "The fairy will always love you, so please entrust your life to me!"
???
Elysia's proposal left Haru completely bewildered, even wondering if he had somehow gotten the female lead's script.
But the pink fairy didn't care about that. She grabbed Haru's left hand and put the ring on him as if declaring her ownership.
"Now the engagement is truly complete!"
Elysia stood up satisfactorily, her blue eyes sparkling with captivating brilliance.
Haru looked at Elysia somewhat helplessly, reached out to gently touch her nose, his eyes full of indulgence.
"That's so like you... my dear fiancée, do you have any other surprises?"
"Um, having a candlelit dinner with the fairy and tasting the cake she made herself?"
Elysia thought for a moment, picked up the fork she had used earlier, and brought a piece of strawberry mousse cake to Haru's lips.
Haru took a bite, and the pudding-like mousse cake quickly melted on his tongue, followed by a throat-achingly sweet taste.
Obviously too much sugar was added...
But it didn't matter. Today he wanted to eat something extra sweet!
Haru intertwined his fingers with the girl's outstretched hand and calmly swallowed the cake with a peaceful expression.
