Ryoma takes one of his walks with his closest family— his silblings. "Here we are in the Hoshidan Agricultural parts. Hope you enjoyed that walk. You really earned it," he told Corrin.
Male Corrin smiles at his eldest brother. "Thank you. You're so kind..."
"No need for that praise," Hinoka utters to her brother. He laughs.
Takumi scoffs. "Uh, sister. Actually there's lots of need for praise these days. Look at what is thrown at us everyday. Battles, nonstop."
"...I agree...Takumi," Sakura whispered to her brother.
Takumi smiles widely. "See? I'm on to something here...!"
Takumi gets in a braggedy ol' cheery mood. Ryoma shakes his head and sighs.
"Hold up guys! Let's not be late. We promised we'd help decorate the Great Hoshidan Farm, remember?" Hinoka reminded them all.
"Sounds lame," Takumi mumbles to himself.
Male Corrin holds in part of his laugh.
Ryoma gives Takumi a mean stare.
Takumi rolls his eyes. "Mm, of course! I meant to say, oh what fun we'll have!"
Hinoka nods and smiles. "That's the spirit! Now could you do me a favor and bring Takumi and Sakura home for me Corrin? Me and Ryoma will take care of the farm, alright?"
Sakura gasps. "B-But I wanted to help..."
Takumi groans. "You can't do that! Unfair!"
Hinoka clears her throat. "This is a job for two people. Me and Ryoma, the oldest ones, exactly."
Takumi folds his arms. "Favoritism."
"Sure Hinoka! Come on you two," Corrin instructed as he, Takumi and Sakura walk home.
Corrin, Sakura and Takumi arrive at Hoshido Castle.
"We're home!" the archer cries out loudly.
Corrin frowns. "That was loud Takumi..."
"I know. My retainers are here. Also, I'd like to refresh this to you two. While Ryoma and Hinoka are gone, I'm in charge okay?" Takumi said.
"...Yes," Sakura replies.
Corrin shrugs with a big grin on his face. "Yep, whatever you say brother!"
Oboro and Hinata arrive into the castle's central room.
Oboro waves. "Hey Takumi!"
Hinata smirks. "And his siblings!"
Corrin waves at Oboro. "Hello. How are the two of you?"
"Ah, just tired. Bored. Lord Takumi wouldn't let us leave," Hinata blurted out.
Oboro frowns. "Yep!"
"You are supposed to be cleaning up the castle...for me," the archer told them.
"We were cleaning..." Oboro responds.
"Then we realized it's alot," Hinata added.
"Fair enough. You two deserve a break. Go find something else to do, alright?" Takumi ordered them to do before he walks out of the central room.
Oboro sighs in relief. "Yes, my lord!"
Hinata glances at Oboro. "Um, Oboro? It's milord?"
Oboro rolls her eyes while giggling. "He's my lord."
Hinata shrugs. "Whatever."
Oboro sighs. "You know how I feel about Takumi!"
Hinata sheaths his sword and the folds his arms. "Profession comes first. Feelings after."
"Doesn't matter to me," Oboro muttered to him.
Hinata looks at Corrin and Sakura. "Hey. I have something fun we could all do," he said.
Corrin looks at Hinata. "Great. Let's hear it, shall we?"
"We could spy on the Nohrian castle, hrm?" Hinata proposed.
Oboro glares at Hinata cruely. "Are you crazy? We could get in trouble. Even worse—death."
Corrin nods. "It is risky—"
"And smart, coming from Hinata's mouth..." a male voice interrupts. Subaki approaches the Hoshidans.
Sakura gasps. "Subaki..
Subaki grins and bows before his young Hoshidan master. "Lady Sakura. Pleasure to see you here."
Hana sprints into the room momentarily. "Sakura! Are you okay?"
"Yes. I'm fine Hana, thank you," she replied softly.
"These people aren't causing you any trouble, are they?" Hana asked her while motioning her blade around at them.
Sakura hums. "No, Hana.."
"Why would we? I'm her brother," Corrin told Hana.
Hana surveys the group. "Hm. We overheard you saying something about spying on Nohr. True?"
"True, but I don't know if we're actually going to follow the plan," Corrin
"I mean, this is Nohr we're talking about. Nohr!" Oboro yelled with her iconic death stare.
Subaki grins. "Calm down. Let the best retainer help you guys out!"
Hana groans. "Ugh, Subaki. We're supposed to be against it...!"
Subaki shakes his head. "Nope. Not me!"
Hana sighs. "What, milord, shall we do once we get there?"
Corrin lighty hops up in surprise. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe find a way to see what they're up to?"
Hinata nods. "Yeah! That Garon guy is no joke!"
"He's more air than he is brains in that head," Azama mentions as he made an entrance.
Corrin gasps. "Azama!"
"Ah hello you," Azama said with a grin.
"Wow. What a greeting," Setsuna joked. Azama's grin converts into a frown.
"Shut that yap of yours, Setsuna!"
"Okay," she mumbled.
"You two in on this too...?" Hana asked them.
"Yeah, we're in. Yeah!" Setsuna answered while daydreaming.
Azama chuckles quietly. "This will be fun! To watch!"
Subaki runs his fingers through part of his hair. "As the most handsome guy in the room, I say you have to help too. Don't be lazy, Azama!"
Corrin shushes everyone. "Everyone. We must do this as discreetly as possible."
Hinata grins at Subaki and Hana. "Subaki, you look pretty good, but I am handsome as well."
"Ah, thank you. You are too, much to a lesser extent," he mumbles quietly.
Oboro rolls her eyes. "Enough of that!"
Corrin thinks for a brief moment. "We'll have to plan this effectively.
"...We should try asking Yukimura what to do. Y'know, advice?" Sakura whispered to Corrin.
"Not a bad idea," he said as he retrieves Yukimura from his room and fills him in on the plan. Yukimura takes off his glasses to clean it. He places it back on and squints. "Lord Corrin. That is terribly dangerous. You are putting yourself and Lady Sakura at risk!"
Corrin grunts. "It's really important. Nohr is rumored to be planning an attack on us. This time, with extra Nohrian allies.
"When are they not rumored to be?" Hana joked.
Yukimura motions at Hana. "Good point. Alright, fine. Promise me you'll all return home safe, especially Lady Sakura and you, Corrin. Please!"
"I promise," Corrin said to the wise man.
Hinata nods. "Yeah, we're fine, sir. Look, we're all coming aboard!"
Yukimura silently studies the newcoming group before deeply sighing. "You do have a lot of retainers with you...for the better or worse, who knows? Anyway, wish you luck," he told them as he performs a rally to everyone's luck.
Corrin and the rest begin to leave before Corrin stops. "Oh. By the way, don't tell Ryoma and Hinoka. They'd be too worried..."
"Okay. I'll just tell them all of you attended a fancy tour or something. I don't like the feeling of telling a lie, but the cause is beneficial, I suppose. Bye!" Yukimura said before leaving.
Corrin smiles. "And we're all set. Everyone pack up, we're gonna be out for long!"
