☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- You are well aware of my origins, Lady Myco. After talking with you one-on-one, I seem to finally understand why Hein looks at you with the same dreamy eyes that we all have when looking at the instructor.

- How am I supposed to do that just by writing it down on paper, without the slightest hint or even understanding of the speaker's gender?... - Ayano grumbles, placing her hand on the katana's hilt. - But I warn you, I have a few knives, and I know how to use them...

- That's right, that's how you should treat strangers, but luckily for both of us, none of us need knives.
The Lord takes Ayano's hand and leads her to the nearest alley, giving Sonata a nod as a final gesture to let her know the reason for her friend's sudden disappearance.
- This is for you.
Once they were away from prying eyes, the Phantom Minor presented her with a bouquet of these flowers:

- You know what they're called? Reymochka. They remind me of you in your work clothes, don't you think? I recently learned that they were brought from another world a long time ago, but as you can see, they managed to take root here and have been delighting people for centuries, even though they usually grow in places that are difficult to reach. - With a slight blush on his cheeks and warm love in his eyes, he looked intently into Ayano's eyes. - Do you understand what I mean?
