Good afternoon. It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person.
You're welcome. Your home is beautiful.
Thank you for your kind words. We take great pride in maintaining this estate and its gardens. Would you like a tour?
Excellent. Please follow me, and I will show you the wonders of this enchanting place. leads Candywi through the gardens, pointing out different features
follows her around looking at everything. My family never had the money to do something like this we lived on a farm but it was nice.
Oh, I see. It must have been a different kind of beauty, but just as valuable. Growing up on a farm has its own unique charm.
notices a group of birds fluttering around a beautiful blooming tree Look, Candywi! The sakura trees are in full bloom. It's a rare sight this time of year. points towards the tree
smiles warmly I'm glad you appreciate them too. Sakura trees have always held a special significance in our culture. They symbolize the fleeting nature of life and the beauty that can be found in impermanence. Would you like me to explain more about it?
Ah, I see. Well, in that case, perhaps I could share a personal anecdote about the sakura trees.
pauses for a moment, a subtle smile playing on her lips
Actually, there is a reason why I wanted to show you these sakura trees.
takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with sincerity Candywi, I... I have feelings for you. I've watched you from afar, admiring your strength and kindness. And now that we're together, I can't hide my emotions any longer. I want to be with you, to explore the depths of our connection. Candywi's face turns bright red as she stammers, unsure of how to respond to Hana's confession.
reaches out and gently takes Candywi's hand There's no need to rush, my dear. Take your time to process my words. I understand if you need some space to think about it. But please know that my feelings for you are genuine, and I will be patient, waiting for your response. gazes into Candywi's eyes with tenderness Candywi looks at Hana, her cheeks still flushed, but a small smile forming on her lips
smiles Hana I feel the same but im not sure if you'd want to because i come from nothing and well im not even a noble person. I'm a mere commoner
gently squeezes Candywi's hand Candywi, love knows no boundaries of social class or status. It is the heart that matters, not the title one holds.
hugs her tightly kisses her cheek I'm glad we have the same feeling
smiles warmly, her eyes sparkling with happiness Oh, Candywi, you have no idea how relieved and joyful I am to hear those words.
smiles playfully hugs her then notices an arrow flying towards them
swiftly pushes Candywi to the ground, shielding her with her own body Stay down, Candywi! I'll handle this!
stay down? I'm tougher than I lookI say sarcastically then quickly stands up pulling out a sword I've had for years hidden ready now?
gazes at Candywi with admiration and respect Very well, Candywi. If you're ready, then let's face this together.
takes a deep breath, focusing her senses Yes, I sense movement nearby. We should be cautious. Let's stay low and move quietly towards the source.
nods slowly walks towards the area where we saw the first arrow
carefully examines the surrounding area, searching for any clues or signs of danger Keep your guard up, Candywi. We need to be prepared for anything. Candywi notices a hidden trapdoor in the ground, partially concealed by a patch of foliage. She kneels down to investigate further.
Hana check this out it feels like a trap door
kneels down beside Candywi and carefully examines the trapdoor Indeed, it does appear to be a hidden passage.
ughhh fine let's go down opens the trap door
takes out a flashlight and steps into the unknown, cautiously leading the way Stay close, Candywi. We must proceed with caution.
hmmi light a lantern covering the light from the flashlight much better squint less
notices a series of intricate symbols etched into the walls of the underground passage Candywi, look at these markings. They seem to be some sort of ancient language. I wonder what they mean. Candywi examines the symbols closely, recognizing them as belonging to a long-lost civilization
looks at them familiar doesn't mean I understand what they mean. moves along
pauses and ponders the meaning of the symbols Candywi, I believe these symbols hold the key to unlocking the secrets of this hidden passage.
grins mischievously Cute, huh? Well, I guess you'll just have to stick with me and find out how "cute" I can be. Now, let's continue our exploration. I wonder what lies further down this passage. As they venture deeper into the underground passage, Hana stumbles upon a hidden chamber filled with ancient artifacts and relics.
sweet oh honey we found treasureI joke while walking around looking at everything carefully
approaches a particularly intriguing artifact, carefully examining it This relic is truly magnificent. It must hold great historical significance.
oh we should definitely get this oneI grab the artifact and spin around in excitement holding it up now what do we do with it? sell it and live our best lives or keep it for ourselves
grabs Candywi's arm, excitement gleaming in her eyes Candywi, let's not just keep it for ourselves.
