Chapter 31: A Devil Jinchuuriki – 28
There was a moment of silent between the two before Naruto took the initiative to speak up.
"Grayfia, I know you don't want to confront it right now, but I think you should at least do it to put all your doubt away."
She wrapped her hand around his and gripped it firmly.
"This is my life now. I no longer wish to know about any others. Sirzechs-sama is contended so there's no need to remind him what he had lost all those years ago. Nothing good can come out of it. Once Lucifer returned Serafall to her home, our worlds will be separate once more."
"It's not going be that easy," Naruto hinted, pointing his thumb at the table where four of his beloved children and one pure devil giggled and laughed.
Lucifer and Serafall were bonding very quickly while Leviathan tried to break them up.
Beelzebub and Asmodeus throw a little tantrum and decided not to speak with each other.
"And I don't want it that way either," he continued and returned the grip gesture.
His eyes were unusually thoughtful. There were many things going through them.
"I counted myself lucky for having met you when I did. For them, I'm willing to do whatever and all I can. A human lifespan is too short compared to that of a devil. Thousands of years could go by while they remained the same. I wanted them to have what we have, even if it doesn't last as long as we did, it could still be far longer than what we could provide them here."
Sometimes, the childish blond seemed really matured and thoughtful.
"I… will think about it," Grayfia said with a smile. Naruto nodded and kissed the back of her hand before leaning forward and rubbing his face against it.
"Here we are, Grayfia-sama, Hokage-sama. Please enjoy your meal," the owner said, placing down the bowl on the table as they thanked him.
Before they could enjoy their late lunch, the owner whispered lowly at the couple so no one else could hear: "Can I asked, what the setup for tonight event? I really want to find a girl just for me."
"It won't be blessed if you cheat," Naruto reminded the older man as Grayfia nodded in agreement.
It was supposed to base on luck and fate.
"What's a Summer and Winter Event?" Serafall asked as a group of boys and girls moved away from their table.
They were all hyped up for the starry event that only comes once every five years while greeting the four youngest members of the Uzumaki clan.
"It's where boys and girls met," Asmodeus explained simply from what he knew.
"… and hold hands," Beelzebub added flatly.
"… and watch the starry sky," Asmodeus finished his sister sentence and stared at Beelzebub with an arched brow. They then turned their back at each other, fuming again.
"That's the gist of it, probably," Lucifer said. "The last one was five years ago, I was only seven then so I couldn't participate, but this year, I could. I'm not sure what it is though."
"Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Summer and Winter are separated by Spring and Autumn. While being polar opposite from each other, Summer and Winter will met each other on a certain day, thus bring forth a unity between the two spirits even if they have nothing in common, just like two people who should never have met," a Jounin said, cocking his head over to the kids' table. "Only single can participate in the event so I think you all can qualify. Are you looking for a girl or boy you want to spend the rest of your life with?"
"What about us? We're a couple," Asmodeus called out as Beelzebub nodded before they looked away from each other again.
The Jounin laughed at the cuteness displayed.
"Couples can participate in Spring and Autumn one," the Jounin said and whispered lowly, "I can't tell you what it is or your parents will probably give me shitty task somewhere in the desert all alone, away from my friend." He winked the last part.
"If that the case, can you tell us about Summer and Winter Event then?"
"No problem. In tonight event, there are thousands of small little ice sculptures that crafted especially by Grayfia-sama. They will be dispersed around the area, if you find one and another person finds the same one to yours then something good will happen between the two of you."
"What's that a good thing?"
"It's not fun if you don't find out for yourself," the Jounin laughed and waved his hand before leaving the restaurant with an amused expression.
The kids stared at his retreating form before whispering to each other.
"I want to go to the event… but I have to return home soon," Serafall pouted.
Lucifer smirked and decided he would take her home after the event.
Leviathan voiced her opinion on the matter since she didn't want Serafall here.
On the other hand, the twin was hyped up about the upcoming festival for they wanted to know what the prizes were.
They quickly went to ask their parents, who almost choked.
"Tell you what. We're going to participate in this event. All of us!" Naruto declared, completely ignoring the rule that only single can participate.
Grayfia, on other hand, was reluctant.
She feared it might be omen.
