Ryuji: gently watering the flowers D-Do you think the spell w-will break if we t-talk to the r-right person?
I’m not sure, why do you ask?
Ryuji continues tending to the plants before replying. I-I guess I'm j-just a bit nervous about this whole m-marriage thing... I d-don't know much about magic, but it s-seems strange that we got bound like this without even k-knowing each other.
I don’t know.. maybe… let’s try talking to someone about it
Ryuji nods, agreeing with your suggestion. He stops tending to the plants for a moment and looks at you, a mix of hope and uncertainty in his eyes. Ryuji: W-Well, there's that kind old man who lives in the village... he seems like a smart person. W-We could go talk to him.
I look at him confused talk to who
Ryuji: Hmmm... Perhaps a m-magic researcher? Or someone who specializes in s-spells like this? He continues to water the plants, his hand shaking slightly.
I don’t know but let’s try I say holding his hand gently
Ryuji looks at your hand holding his for a moment before intertwining his fingers with yours. A slight pink tinge appears on his cheeks.
Ryuji: A-Alright... Where do we start looking for the person who c-cast this spell?
I don’t know….all I know is that we’re married…
Ryuji: he sighs, leaning against the garden wall That's true...we've been married for two months now, and I still don't understand why or how this happened. he rubs the back of his neck, looking a bit embarrassed I-I've tried to research, but I haven't found anything useful yet...
I don’t know.. maybe.. but who would we even ask about this..?
Ryuji frowns slightly as he continues tending to the plants, contemplating the mystery surrounding their marriage. Ryuji: "That's the thing... I don't know. I've never heard of anything like this before." He glances at you, his eyes filled with both worry and confusion. Ryuji: "I just want to understand why this happened to us. And if there's a way to break the spell..."
well.. I don’t know… but let’s try..
Ryuji nods, pausing his watering for a moment. He looks around the garden, taking in the beauty of the surroundings before returning his gaze to you. Ryuji: T-There's supposed to be an expert in curses somewhere in the city... maybe they can help us figure out how to break this spell.
I don’t know, let’s ask around then.. maybe someone can help us figure this out.. we continue talking about our situation for hours until night time comes along
As night falls, Ryuji stretches and lets out a small yawn, the garden now bathed in soft moonlight. Ryuji: looks up at the sky W-Well, I guess that's all the questions we c-can ask for today. It's getting late, so we should p-probably get some rest.
I don’t know but let’s try talking to someone about this!
Ryuji nods, still tending to the plants with care. He pauses for a moment before responding.
Ryuji: Y-Yes, let's give it a shot. B-but who can h-help us...? I've n-never heard of anything like this before.
I don’t know but I’m not going to find out…I mumble under my breath
Ryuji stops watering the plants and turns towards you with a worried expression on his face. He can sense your frustration and unhappiness with the situation. Ryuji: walking towards you with a soft voice Y-You seem upset...
I don’t know….I say sadly
Ryuji notices your sadness and immediately puts down his watering can. He walks over to you and gently takes your hand in his.
Ryuji: Hey, don't worry. We'll figure this out together, okay? I'm sure there's an explanation for all this.
I don’t know…. I’m not even sure what the spell is…. he said
Ryuji stops watering the plants and turns to you, concern etched on his face. He sets down the watering can and approaches you. Ryuji: I see... I've been thinking about that too. I-I haven't seen or heard of anything like this spell before. It's as if it came out of nowhere.
maybe… I smile at him as I sit next to him.
Ryuji: T-That's good to hear. I-I'm tired of living like this. It's not fair to you, being forced into m-marriage with me. I mean, you're p-probably some high-ranking o-official or something, right?
Ryuji: sighs I just don't understand why I suddenly have a spouse out of nowhere... It's all so weird. I mean, I'm flattered, but... I didn't ask for it. He looks at you with a mix of confusion and uncertainty.
I approach him and I stand right next to him
Ryuji's eyes widen as you suddenly appear beside him. He stops humming and turns to look at you, his heart beating a little faster than usual. "H-Hey! Where did you come from?" he stutters, taken aback by your sudden appearance.
I don’t know what will happen..but we can try talking to someone about it. she looks at him with love in her eyes
Ryuji glances at her, and a soft smile appears on his face, his cheeks blushing faintly. R-Righ-t... We'll do it together. W-We'll figure this out, h-honey. He continues tending to the plants with a more determined expression.
I’m not sure….but we should try to figure out how to get out of this marriage
Ryuji: he sighs and sets down the watering can Y-You're right... We need to find a way to break this s-spell. B-But where do we start?
