We’ll Win this Happy Contest !

“Kids stay here, I’m taking Kanamiyah to the doctor.”

It’s my fault ! Kanamiyah don’t die please !

Iris sees me running.

“Kanael, what’s happening ?”

She follows me running.

“I’m not sure, Kanamiyah used his power to calm down the children and now is seriously sick. Iris, it’s my fault I didn’t know how to take care of the children and now see the result.”

“Kanael, it’s not your fault you didn't think that he would get sick by using his power.”

“Maybe but I’m his father so I’m the one that has to take care of him the best I can.”

She put her left hand on my right shoulder to console me.

“Do you know where the doctor is ?”

“No, I just ran in panic.”

“Let me take you there, okay ?”

“Mm, thank you.”

They enter the doctor's office.

“Doctor, you have to save him, he seems really sick.”

“What happened ?”

“He used his power too much.”

“It mustn't be too serious, but let me check.”

The doctor checks Kanamiyah's temperature, his blood pressure, his tongue, his ears and his mouth.

What is he going to say ?

“Don’t worry, he just has a fever and needs a lot of rest. It’s better if he stays only with both of his parents and avoids the children and loud sounds which could make him more tired.”

“Alright, thank you doctor.”

“By the way, he's really a fascinating creature.”

“What do you mean ?”

“It’s rare that a creature that has features are this different from each other. Take care of him.”

“Thank you doctor.”

We are going out of the office.

“Ouf, I’m relieved.”

“Fortunately, it was nothing serious.”

“Yes, from now I’m going to be more careful.”

“Mm !”

“By the way, Lovy isn’t with you ? She wasn’t with you before too.”

“Lovy is in my jacket’s pocket, she is sleeping, she needs her energy to come back, just like Kanamiyah.”

“I see, we’re the only ones who are still energetic.”

“We are preparing a happy contest. Do you want to join ?”

“What’s the goal ?”

“Every year, we use our power to make people happy, especially children, it’s a collaboration contest !”

“Oh ! You seem to really appreciate it.”

“The reason is that I really enjoy when I see all these happy children’s faces. I remember last year, it was so amazing. This year is even better because you are here Kanael !”

I laugh.

“Haha, I feel so much better all of a sudden, thank you. Seeing you so happy relieves me from my fear of losing Kanamiyah. You know in my other life I don’t think I had the chance to be so happy.”

Iris holds me.

“Don’t worry, I’ll always make sure you’re happy.”

“Thank you, I’ll do the same.”

I'm sitting at the table, Lovy is in front of me and sitting on the table, on my right there is Iris, on my left there is Peachi and in front of me there are Fleur and Mihail. Mihail announces.

“The theme of this year is “Colorful Collaboration”, in other terms we have to use our power in a way that highlights colors. As for Peachi and Fleur it’s already done since your power have at least one color, as for Kanael, your bubbles aren’t easy to see, as for me I only construct rooms, as for Iris you only has a compass cane, as for Kanamiyah I don’t know and from what I heard Lovy your halo is really beautiful but it drains too much energy.”

I add.

“We don’t talk about Yogan.”

“No, because giant creatures aren’t allowed.”

So power is important in this contest but we can’t use a creature that has power just because it’s giant, it’s really a pity.

“Ah, what a pity, last time we did a good collaboration with Yogan and Peachi.”

Peachi is happy.

“And it was my idea !”

Mihail opens his arms big.

“But we have to do better than that ! More grandioso, favoloso and colorato !”

And now he starts speaking Italian, there’s no country here so what the hell is that ?

“Which language did you just speak ?”

“I don’t understand your question.”

That’s what I just thought, there is no country and no other language but these words aren’t the same as the ones I’m speaking right now.

“Just forget it then.”

Mihail asks all of us.

“Who has an idea of a way to put our powers together ?”

Peachi explains.

“If Mihail creates a room, then we can go over, Iris and Fleur do this with Kanael, I paint, for Kanamiyah I don’t know and Lovy can specially use her power for the event. If you don't understand what I say, look at my drawing.”

We are all looking at his complicated drawing. I feel awkward so I say.

“Haha, well I’m sure it’s a good idea.”

Mihail’s right hand holds his chin while thinking.

“Actually, if we really think about it, it’s the best solution, we just have to work on it a bit more and to make it more understandable.”

“Buh…”

“Peachi, don’t take it badly.”

“Okay…”

A few hours later, Iris announces.

“Now that we’re ready, we just have to wait for the day of the Happy Contest to come.”

I feel happy and energetic.

“Yes, I can't wait to see the result.”

“Hihi.”

☼

The presenter announces.

“The day of the Happy Contest has finally arrived with this year’s theme : Colorful Collaboration. All participants are requested to come.”

Iris does not stay in place.

“Kanael, I’m really excited to go on stage.”

“I am stressed though.”

“Don’t worry, you’re going to do well, you’re going to be good and cool.”

“Haha, thank you Iris for always cheering me up.”

Cool ? I don’t know why but she thinks I’m cool, it makes me happy.

We go on the stage, from the audience's point of view, from right to left, there is Fleur, Iris then me, Peachi is all the way to the right and Mihail all the way to the left, Lovy and Kanamiyah are flying above us. Mihail starts.

“Let’s go, Costruzione gratuita !”

Mihail creates a building under our feet, we are now at least one meter high.

“My turn, Hand Paint !”

Peachi paints the building multicolored.

“Here I go, Bulles de Joie !”

I make bubbles around Fleur nails.

“I wouldn't be left out, Stella Nails !”

Fleur illuminates her nails that are surrounded by my bubbles.

“Hah ! Compass Cane !”

Iris puts her cane on Fleur’s hands, the compass indicates Kanamiyah who is flying, then he stands on the top of the cane.

“Agah !”

Kanamiyah is laughing out loud.

“The cute one now, Liebe Power !”

Lovy creates a halo around the building that makes us look reddish, Fleur’s nails are shining more than ever and can be seen through my bubbles and Lovy’s halo. Mihail ends.

“Thank you for watching us until the end.”

The audience is applauding, children's faces are filled with happiness. Children are talking between them.

“The knight is really handsome.”

“The baby is so cute.”

“Did you see the little creature ? She looks so cute.”

“It was a good idea.”

“I hope they win.”

“The others were great too, but I feel something by watching them.”

“Yes, me too, I felt a great harmony.”

Fifteen minutes later, the presenter announces.

“After deliberation, we decided which group is the winner.”

Peachi can’t hide his excitement.

“I really hope we are the winners !”

Iris takes his hands in hers.

“I hope too, Peachi.”

Actually they’re happier than me, since anyway for me everyday is a happy day.

“The happy contest winner is the Kawai Affairs Detective Office !”

Iris is jumping with joy.

“Kanael, we won !”

I never thought I’d see her so happy, she exudes such joy !

“Yes, we won, Iris ! We won all together !”

Mihail compliments.

“Exactly, it was a great job everyone, it was really a good idea Peachi.”

“It's because I had inspiration and the power of love.”

“What do you mean ?”

“Secret ! It’s a secret.”

“Then why are you shouting ?”

Mihail has a call.

“Hello.”

“Congratulations, I watched from afar but it was beautiful to see you collaborate with others, you who used to be asocial.”

“Are you kidding me ?”

“Haha, I have to give you a sweet reward.”

Mihail is blushing.

“Mm, thank you.”

“What’s happening Mihail ? It’s your girlfriend ?”

“Something like that.”

“Then it’s a man ?”

“Costruzione gratuita !”

A building hit me.

“I guess I shouldn’t ask.”

“Mihail !”

Iris is angry and pinches Mihail’s cheeks really hard.

“I’m sorry, really sorry.”

“And don't do it anymore !”

“Okay.”

“Why did he hit you ?”

“I’m not really sure why he got angry but when it comes to love, you can’t control it.”

“He was talking to his lover ?”

“Yes, that’s what he said.”

“Kanael, you know here we are all very happy but actually…”

“I know everyone can’t be happy.”

“No, what I want to say is that…”

Fleur continues.

“Here it’s heaven, and everywhere else it’s hell.”
