Inspiration backstage: Banri [About to Bloom] and Tsumugi [Teacherly Guidance]

Banri had just learned the art of gardening.

It was easy to learn for several reasons. Not only Tsumugi was such a good teacher, but also, whenever Banri saw Tsumugi heaving a watering can across the courtyard, he just felt like helping him.

Today, he approached Tsumugi. "Need a hand?"

Tsumugi wiped the sweat off his temple with a gloved hand. "It's okay. You've carried my gardening goods all the way back, so have a break."

Banri nodded. "Well, give me a shout if you need help."

It probably wouldn't happen, but offering Tsumugi a helping hand would never hurt.
