In order to carry out Yoshino's Operation Love Love, we sat side by side on sitting room, covered in red cloth in front of the shop. And the most important prop is the shop's manjuu. |
Yoshino |
"Shashou. Aaahn~" |
Yoshino picked up a manjuu and offered it to me. We feed each other manjuus like a couple. This would certainly be an eye-catcher. It's somewhat embarrassing, but it's also to support the new shop. |
Yoshino |
"Look. Shashou should feed Yoshino too." |
Yoshino |
"Hai, aaahn." |
Yoshino closed her eyes and opened her mouth, waiting for the manjuu. I gently put the manjuu in her little mouth. |
Yoshino |
"Mmm." |
Yoshino |
"Grhmhmugh!" |
The manjuu in her mouth seemed to have been too big. Yoshino clung to me, she swallowed too much, so I pat her gently on the back. |
Yoshino |
"Phew! Was shocked. Shashou, too big. It didn't fit in Yoshino's mouth." |
Passers-by begin to stop in their tracks, perhaps because we looked like a friendly couple. More and more customers looked into the shop, noticed the range of products and walked straight in. |
Yoshino |
"Ooooh- Shashou, this is a success." |
That seemed to be the case. The shop offered us dangos as a token of their appreciation. I ordered another cup of tea and decide to relax in the shop for a while longer. |
Yoshino |
"You know, Shashou. In Nishiki, when a girl gets married, they wear a special kimono." |
Conductor |
Is that so? |
Yoshino |
"This kimono is called shiromuku, which is pure white. The way it is folded is also very special. Yoshino would like to weave a shiromuku when becoming an oyome-san someday." |
Yoshino |
"Yoshino... would also like to be an oyome-san, in Yoshino's own shiromuku." |
Yoshino is looking for her parents, who have been separated from her, and she muttered that she wanted her father and mother to see it. |
Yoshino |
"Yoshino's dream. Will it come true? Shashou." |
Conductor |
It will come true, one day. Definitely. I nodded vigorously. |
Yoshino |
"If Shashou says so, it will definitely come true." |
Yoshino |
"But first we have to get rid of the Phantom Mist, and then Yoshino's dream will come true. But together with Shashou and everyone else, we can definitely defeat the Phantom Mist." |
Conductor |
Of course I agree with Yoshino. We will definitely defeat the Phantom Mist. |
Yoshino |
"Will do the best to eliminate the Phantom Mist with everyone else, but Yoshino's dream of becoming an oyome-san must be fulfilled together with Shashou." |
Yoshino |
"...If Shashou takes Yoshino as his oyome-san, you can touch Yoshino's ears. Shashou is a special case. So you can touch my ears. This is said twice because it's important." |
Yoshino |
"Promise, Shashou. Yuu-bikiri gen-man. If you lie, you're given 1,000 tailoring strips." |
We made a promise by intertwining our pinkies. After defeating the Phantom Mist, all of Yoshino's dreams would come true. That's what she hoped for. |
