It would seem that everyone has been getting letters? I'm seeing all sorts of buzz over this - over who this Tyr person is, over whether or not it's a trap or our only option to be free. So many people are talking about staying, but I have a question.

Who is going to go?




[Filtered to Shinpachi Nagakura | pretty much hackable since he fails]

Nagakura-san? Have you received one as well? What do you think? A chance to go home or a trap?

I suppose... an opportunity.

I guess it's pretty interesting, if you like to learn things that is. What is it about school you want to know about?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oppor-- Oh~ right.[He smiles and nods]

Mm...what sort of things do you learn? I grew up in a dojo, and before that my sisters taught me to read and write, so I can't really imagine going to a temple school and just...studying all day long.

It really depends on your level of education. For younger students, mostly you'd have to tackle general subjects like history, science, mathematics, language and the likes. Once you've received a higher for of education, you normally indulge yourself into more specialized studies. In my case, I studied Rocketry for a while.

So...after I finished everything, I could have studied swordsmanship?

Or is that not a normal field of study in the future?

And what do you mean for awhile? Did you have to stop?

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

I don't believe it was common in the institution, but I suppose there might have been a small chance that working in the military would teach you swordsmanship.

Not exactly, it was cut short by an... unfortunate event.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Hm~ That's too bad. That's what I did at home. I learned the basics from my sisters and Kondou-san, and then studied swordsmanship after that.

...the war?

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

It's different from person to person, and culture to culture as well.

No, I come from after the Great War. It's nothing, don't worry about it.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I understand that. When I see the moon, it's always a very unpleasant color.

And if you say so. Oh! You should try the sweets and tell me what you think. If you like them, I can write down the recipe for you.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Is it? Why is... Oh, I almost forgot! [And he'll just open them and try some, because Japanese sweets tend to be a lot sweeter than he was used to though, it takes him a while to actually comment.]

It's unusual, but it's good.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He laughs at Alfons' hesitation]

If it's too sweet, you can say so, you know. I'm still learning after all.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

I'm just not used to the taste, that's all.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Alfons-kun is so cute. I'll try to make them a little less sweet next time.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

[...] That's a good idea.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'll try to bring the next batch by before the gate opens then.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

You don't have to go through that much trouble.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's no trouble. I have nothing much to do until the Gate arrives anyway.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

All right, if you're certain.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could help me? The kitchen will be nice and warm while we're cooking and then you can learn how to make it too.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

I suppose I could try that. It would be interesting to learn something new.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It's a great way to pass the winter with friends, too.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

I've never done that before. I suppose it's time for something new this year.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It'll be fun! And the entire floor will smell lovely~

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

... The floor?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I mean the entire floor you live on - every room.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

Oh right! That confused me for a moment.
