*~*~*

A certain girl was on her ride to a certain town. She was riding her own pony, Blanc, down the path that seemed very familiar to her. Her lips curved up to a smile as she quicken the pace of her pony's steps. She enjoyed the wind around her face as she ride down the mountain to the town she grew up in. Upon arriving at the gate of the town, she saw a familiar figure standing there to greet her, she thought. Once she got closer to the person, she slowed her pony down to a stop. She climbed down her pony before she gave the person standing in front of her a bright, happy smile. In front of her stood one person who had a black hair that was covered in what seemed like a red veil, matching with her long and red traditional clothes of the town. "Welcome back, Cera." She greeted the younger woman in front of her with a warm smile of her own that she rarely shown to just anyone.

The younger woman who had a slightly messy, light brown hair that reaches slightly below her shoulder, called Cera smiled back to her as she answered with a "I'm back, Ina. How are you and everyone doing?" She asked as she walked to her, pulling Blanc slowly behind her. Ina was the mayor of the town she grew up in. The Eastern-styled town called Konohana, where the atmosphere was very calming and just seemed quiet. She had lived in Konohana from when she was a child so she was already acustomised to the town, despite her being a half western person herself. She just had to leave the town for a couple of years to attend to her father's illness until now she had returned to take on her passed father's farm in his stead.

"We are all doing fine. Pretty good actually. Just be sure to meet everyone. I'm sure they all have missed you so much." The mayor, Ina, replied as she started walking down the path toward her farm. "Just like I have too." She added in a low voice before she asked her, "How about you, though? Are you doing fine?" She turned slightly looking at the girl who was walking behind her.

Cera smiled at her as she heard her saying she missed her as well. "I miss everyone too. And yes, I'm doing fine myself. I'm sorry to have you worry." She said as her smile turned into a sad one, yet only for a brief moment. She saw Ina shook her head before answering her, "It is not only me, I guess everyone must be worried about you, so just be sure to talk to everyone once you've settled in." She said as they reached their farm. "Well then, I'd take my leave first for now. I have some works to attend to. I've left a clothes for you inside. You can just take your time to readjust in your house though, no need to hurry." And with that, Ina left her in her farm, in front of her old house. She waved to her until she saw Ina was gone from her sight before she turned to look at her old house. A small smile was on her face as she sighed, mumbling "Welcome home, Cera." to herself.

It did not take long for Cera to set her stuffs in her old house, though. Since she barely brought anything from her trip back, she just had to put her pony on the barn, cleaned some stuffs up in her house along with her farm, before she took a warm shower and changed her clothes to the one Ina had prepared for her. The clothes was so Konohana. It consisted of a white t-shirt with blue short cardigan which had Konohana's signature patterns around the long sleeves and all. On the bottom, she was wearing a 3/4 matching pants with an orange sarong which also had the same pattern printed on around it. To complete it all up, she had worn a red bandana on her messy hair and a pair of brown shoes.

She looked up on her reflection on the mirror. Once she found it was perfect, she smiled at herself encouragingly before she decided to go outside to meet her fellow town's residents. She sure had missed all of them as well. It had been a couple of years after all. So, she wasted no time and visited one of her closest friends, whose house was just right beside her farm. She looked around the pasture which was filled with horses beside a small shop. She found no one was there, so she decided to get inside the shop. "Hello." She greeted as she opened the door and her face brightened as she saw the person she was looking for.
