Chapter 491
After hearing this, all four women showed expressions of utter shock.
Then Nina said in a very cute way.
"Congratulations, President."
Looking at Nina, Luo Mio smiled gently.
Kuroa then realized what was happening and stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"No wonder the student council president breathed a sigh of relief when Minato was gone. With Minato's big mouth, she might accidentally overhear Claudia's words."
Sophia and Yuzuki nodded in agreement.
"Really."
Luo Mio chuckled.
"So when it's Tia's birthday, I'll have to ask you guys to cover for her."
"Good!"
——
And finally, June 10th arrived, Claudia's birthday.
At noon, Luo Mio came to the garden and looked at the courtyard.
"Then let's start making preparations now."
As she spoke, Luo Mio looked at Ikki, Amagiri Ayato, and Yobukou Eishiro, the tool that Sasamiya Saya had brought along.
Behind them stood Sylvia.
Claudia, however, was taken to the commercial district by Sophia, Yurith, Stella, and their group, who already knew about the situation.
Sylvia was setting up the scene with Luo Mio and the others.
After all, Sylvia, the Supreme Diva, has seen all kinds of scenes.
Therefore, they know best what kind of scene needs to be set up right now.
Sylvia then urged Luo Mio, Ikki, Amagiri Ayato, and Yobukou Eishiro onwards.
"Hurry up, hurry up! By the time Tia and the others finish shopping, we won't be ready."
Urged on by Sylvia, everyone began preparing the venue.
On the lawn that was already covered with beautiful flowers, white, symbolizing the purest and most beautiful things, began to gradually spread throughout the courtyard.
Pure Abyss Flower were placed in every corner.
By the time they finished setting things up, three hours had passed.
After glancing at the time, Luo Mio spoke up.
"It's almost time, Bella should be here soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bella walked onto the stone steps leading to the entrance gate.
Upon seeing Luo Mio, Bella also came over and handed Luo Mio two exquisite little boxes.
"It's time..."
——
It was approaching evening.
Claudia returned to the villa with the other women.
Because of the cover of the empty space, Claudia did not notice the scene that had already been set up in the garden on the other side.
With the help of the women who already knew about the situation, Claudia was led to the balcony.
"A gift from Mio?"
Seeing Claudia's slightly puzzled expression, Stella and nudged Claudia back.
"Close your eyes, and you'll find out in a moment."
Claudia looked at Stella with great confusion, while Yurith, Sasamiya Saya, and the other girls around her chuckled and urged Claudia on.
Having no other choice, Claudia could only obey their words and obediently close her eyes.
Then Sylvia came to Claudia and gently pulled her to a spot in the courtyard.
"Come with me, Tia."
"Sylvie?"
After settling Claudia in, Sylvia quietly disappeared.
Looking at Claudia with her eyes closed, Luo Mio spoke softly.
"You can open your eyes now, Tia."
"Mio?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's voice, Claudia slowly opened her eyes.
The next moment, Claudia's eyes widened.
A gentle white light appeared all around.
Around Claudia, the white sea of flowers seemed to slowly bloom with a white glow under the influence of some kind of power.
Luo Mio was standing in front of her, looking at her with a gentle expression.
Happy birthday, Tia.
"I can hardly believe it, "Claudia said, surprised and somewhat incredulous.
"These are all..."
Luo Mio nodded gently.
Then Luo Mio took out a very exquisite little box from behind her back.
"This is a birthday present I prepared for you."
Claudia looked at the exquisite little box in Luo Mio's hand. Before she even opened it, for some reason, her heart was pounding wildly.
Upon seeing what was inside, Claudia's eyes slowly widened.
A delicate and beautiful Pure White Ring.
Looking at Claudia, who seemed somewhat incredulous, Luo Mio's lips curved into a gentle smile.
Claudia's blue eyes welled up with tears at the corners.
Tears slowly streamed down her face.
She knew that Luo Mio would definitely prepare a gift for her on her birthday.
But she never expected that Luo Mio would prepare such a surprising and tear-jerking gift for her.
Luo Mio looked at Claudia and slowly walked in front of her.
Claudia could no longer hold back, and tears slowly streamed down her face.
Seeing Claudia's appearance, Luo Mio raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears streaming down her face, chuckling softly as she spoke.
"Sylvia is still recording. If you keep crying like this, Sylvia might laugh at you later."
All that could be heard was Sylvia's light chuckle as she protested.
"Don't talk nonsense, I would never laugh at Tia!"
The others also laughed.
Looking at her friends, Luo Mio turned her gaze back to Claudia.
Then, from the exquisite box, Luo Mio took out the pure white ring.
He gently lifted Claudia's left hand and gave her a tender, affectionate smile.
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Mio slowly placed the ring on Claudia's left middle finger.
At the moment the harness was put on, Stella and Yurith were also ready.
Suddenly—
"Boom----!"
One by one, the dazzling and dreamlike flame flower buds bloomed slowly in the sky like fireworks, with each petal leaving a trail of brilliant and beautiful starlight.
Like a meteor shower, the faint starlight slowly streaked across the sky, leaving behind beautiful aurora borealis streaks.
Skoll and Hati also emitted a dazzling silver light from their entire bodies.
Suddenly, a dreamlike waterfall of light, like a silver curtain, slowly cascaded down from the sky, its silver ribbons of light flowing down slowly.
Just as Claudia was looking at the beautiful flame flowers in the sky, Luo Mio pulled Claudia's left hand again.
Claudia noticed Luo Mio's actions and looked over.
Luo Mio smiled gently at Claudia, placed the box containing another ring in Claudia's hand, and whispered to her.
"Here, keep this ring."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Claudia was momentarily stunned, looking at the exquisite little box containing the ring in her hand.
Luo Mio slowly spoke.
"This ring is for later use."
"After..."
Claudia paused slightly, then understood the meaning behind Luo Mio's words. A blush appeared on her beautiful and dignified face, and she gave Luo Mio a sweet smile.
"Okay, I understand."
He then took it into his own possession.
Then Claudia gently stepped forward with her toes and opened her arms to embrace Luo Mio.
A soft, affectionate voice slowly rang in Luo Mio's ears.
"No matter how long it takes, I will keep waiting."
"..."
Upon hearing Claudia's words, Luo Mio hugged Claudia even tighter.
"Um."
Seeing Luo Mio and Claudia embracing, the others came up and offered their blessings.
Then Sylvia separated Claudia and Luo Mio, hugged Claudia, and said happily.
"Congratulations, Tia."
Looking at her childhood best friend, perhaps because of the surprise Luo Mio had given her today, her smile was more beautiful than ever before.
"Thank you, Sylvie."
Following them, Yurith, Kato Kirin, and Sasamiya Saya also came over one after another, offering their sincerest blessings to their friends and teammates.
Thank you.
Minato also came to Luo Mio's side, looking at Luo Mio angrily and saying something.
"That's so unfair, Luo Mio- ge! You didn't even tell me! Kuroa, Yuzuki, Sophia, and even Nina told them. I only just found out about this."
Luo Mio rolled her eyes at Minato.
"I'm telling you, with your thoughtless way of speaking, if you blurt it out, my plan will be exposed soon."
Hearing Luo Mio's words, Minato could only pout unhappily, but when she saw the happy smile on Claudia's face, Minato couldn't help but smile as well.
At this moment, Stella also spoke up and smiled at the group of women.
"As Claudia's bridesmaids, if Claudia is ever bullied by Mio in the future, we'll have to fight back for Claudia, right, sisters?"
"Right!"
Hearing the women's unanimous voices, Luo Mio was both amused and exasperated.
