Summary: Mahiro prepares for a date, pre-series.
As Mahiro finished touching up her makeup, she vaguely wondered why she was doing this. Star viewing with Hidetada-sama was irresponsible and not part of her duties. Even though Ieyasu didn't seem to mind and had dismissed her from her duties. Yet, for some reason, she felt an eager fluttering in her heart as she imagined lying next to him on a blanket, staring at the night sky.
It caused her to pinch her cheeks a little harder than she normally would, feeling angry with her self. She didn't have the right to be happy just because of some man: look what happened the last time. Until she had her revenge, Mahiro wouldn't let Hidetada-sama's smile get to her. She would ignore the quickening of her pulse and not wonder which kimono looked more attractive.
Tonight would an exception though. Because Hidetada-sama didn't take no for an answer.
