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 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.

[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.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I realized I wasn't being very clear.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

It's all right.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a moment and then smiles faintly.]

I will miss this place, I think. It's rather nice, all things considered.

[nicht-ein-traum.livejournal.com]

It is, isn't it?

There's a lot of things I wouldn't have learned had I not been brought here. I suppose it's why I don't dislike it as much as others seem to.
