I was currently in Hakugyokurou's garden, sweeping the ground. Usually, Youmu would be the one doing this, but she's out gathering springs. To alleviate some of my boredom, I sang a song while sweeping.

(Y/N): "Konna koto ii na~ Dekitara ii na~"

Some phantom-slash-mochis were bobbing up and down along with the rhythm of the song.

(Y/N): "Anna yume, konna yume ippai aru kedo~"

Sweep there... sweep here...

(Y/N): "Minna minna minna~ kanaete kureru~ Fushigi na pokke de kanaete kureru~"

Too focused on sweeping and singing, I didn't notice someone watching me.

(Y/N): "Sora wo jiyuu ni, tobitai na~"

Yuyuko: "Fufufu~ What are you singing?"

I jumped a bit, not expecting to hear Yuyuko. I turned to face her, my face a bit red from embarrassment.

(Y/N): "Yuyuko! How long have you been there?"

She gave me a smirk and began imitating my singing.

Yuyuko: "Konna koto ii na~ Dekitara ii na~ Anna yume, konna yume ippai aru kedo~"

(Y/N): "Gahh!!! Stop! It's so embarrassing!!"

Yuyuko: "What's so embarrassing about it? You played in front of them with the Prismriver sisters just fine."

(Y/N): "You also knew about that?"

I covered my face with my hands. Right now, I just wanted to bury myself in a hole and never came back out.

Yuyuko: "You still haven't answered my question."

(Y/N): "Which one?"

Yuyuko: "Both."

(Y/N): "*sighs* It was a theme song from one of my favorite shows as a child. Also, I wasn't as embarrassed because I wasn't alone... Please don't tease me."

Yuyuko: "Fufufufu~"

She floated away to who knows where.

(Y/N): "She's gonna tease the crap out of me, isn't she?"

I sighed and quickly finished sweeping the floor. I brewed tea, boiled some water, grabbed some cup ramen, and made some snacks to take with me. I flew a good distance away from the entrance and put the snacks down. I relaxed but still kept my guard up to watch my surroundings. I summoned my Keyblade and turned it into a table to put my snacks and tea on. What's that? That's a horrible misuse of a legendary weapon, you say? I don't care.

(Y/N): "*sips tea*"

Ah... refreshing...

(Y/N): "*slurp*"

Delicious ramen...

(Y/N): "*sips tea again*"

Life is so peaceful...

...

I'm bored...

(Y/N): "*sighs* Sure wish something would happen already..."

Ask and you shall receive.

Suddenly, there was an explosion and three people came flying in my direction. They stopped in confusion when they saw me slowly eating ramen. They were about to speak when I put my hand up, signaling them to wait until I finish. Somehow, they agreed. I put my cup ramen down and pulled three more. I opened them and poured boiled water into them, I set them down.
