"Yoriichi..." repeating the name for a whole six minutes, the name was familiar but you don't know who it was, and saying his name was a calming sensation for you.

a few hours later, you were eating lunch with Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Aoi, he kept on complimenting and flaunting at you, "Agatsuma-san, can't you just eat your lunch already!, Hime-sama I'm really sorry, he's not only injured he's also sick in the mind..."

"Ah, hahah," awkwardly laughing, you had a few conversations with Aoi, throughout the afternoon, the triplets were there to entertain you and let you watch Inosuke train, for Zenitsu he was getting tested for his upcoming mission tomorrow, he was against it although it was his job after all, "is Zenitsu-san going to be alright, though?"

"Zenitsu-san is very strong despite him saying he's weak!" Kiyo stated.

"is that so," suddenly you felt a gentle weight on your head, as realizing Sumi placed a crown above your head,"thank you, Sumi, you make flower crowns so well, I still have the flower crown you made yesterday, they aren't falling apart even though they're withered."

"Thank you, hehe." Sumi shyly smiled at you, patting her head, you saw Inosuke watching the four of you, although he immediately went back to pulling in and out the large rock hanging on the trees.

"Hime-sama," hearing a quiet voice behind you, you turned around to see Kanao holding a kettle and cups on the tray, "would you care for some tea?"

"you didn't have to, thank you Kanao-san," placing the tray down beside you, she kneeled down to pour the five tea cups, as the triplets thanked her, they sat down on the bench near at Inosuke's self made gym, "I heard you do a important role here, so I'm really grateful for taking your time for us." giving her a smile, Kanao pursed her lips as her cheeks came blushing.

taking her coin out, she turned her back on you to flip it whether she speak to you or not, curiously tilting your head to watch her, she felt your closeness behind you, her hands became shaky and when she flipped it with no control, "uh!" the coin flew right into your cup, "I-I apologize!"

snorting thinking the situation kind of funny, "Hahah, that was cool!, I didn't know you could do tricks," carefully spilling the tea down the ground, you took the coin out and wipe it on your haori, "here." putting it on her palm, Kanao was fazed by your actions.

"thank...thank you, I'm really sorry about that," sighing in disappointment, Kanao was extremely embarrassed by what happened, "I will bring a new cup." before she completely stands up, you gently grabs her hand.

"It's fine, I can still use it." showing her after you wiped it with your inner yukuta, Kanao shakes her head in refusal.

"The coin is dirty, Hime-sama, you may take my cup instead then," sitting down again beside you, she puts her cup near you, "I haven't took a sip."

"Let's just share it then!" hearing your offer, her face heats up like a red tomato, immediately raising both her hands to her chest level.

seeing you sip on the cup, her eyes observed your lips as you gracefully drank some of the green tea,"That's─no, Hime-sama, if you don't want me to go then I'll simply not drink."

"Kanao," as Shinobu interrupted the two of you, "I've been looking for you, wait in my office, I have something to tell to Tsukiyumi-sama."
