Language of the Flowers
Kasane x Nobunaga
Part Three
"You're up early again, Nobunaga-sama."
A new day arose, and like yesterday Gorouza appeared before his room.
"Gorouza."
Nobunaga met his gaze a little before boredly glancing away.
"...Nobunaga-sama."
"What."
"...Just before I went to Kasane-dono's room with the flower arrangement, but it seems that she already decorated the room with a branch from the sakura tree."
Nobunaga showed a slight reaction to his words.
"...What about it?"
"Who knows?"
"..."
Gorouza have him a sunny smile at his response.
That made him raise his brow unamusingly.
"I wonder, was there such an unnatural cut on the branch of that sakura tree yesterday?"
Feigning ignorance, Gorouza aimlessly spoke while Nobunaga scowled at him.
"Ah, good morning, you two!"
Hard at work, just like yesterday, Kasane said her greetings to them as she cleaned the floors.
"Good morning, Kasane-dono."
"..."
Gorouza smiled as he greeted her.
Nobunaga remained silent.
"You seem to be in a good mood, Kasane-dono."
"Eh, is that so?"
Ruffling the back of her head, she laughed.
"Stop slacking off. Go back to work."
Nobunaga ordered with a 'hmph'.
It seemed to have broken her good mood a bit, but she immediately regained her composure.
"Bye!"
She busily left his room.
After watching her run off, Gorouza returned his attention to Nobunaga.
"That reminds me, Nobunaga-sama, do you happen to know the meaning of sakura?"
"The thing you talked about with that woman?"
He nonchalantly snorted at Gorouza's words.
"How should I know?"
He responded with a sneer, Gorouza chuckled at that.
"The meaning of sakura is 'eternal love'."
"...Gohou!"
Just as he heard Gorouza's explanation, Nobunaga coughed out the tea that he just sipped.
He silently scowled at him.
But Gorouza only gave him a very pleasant smile in return.
He slouched over his crossed legs in a sulking manner and gazed out to the beautiful tree, bloomed in its full glory.
Reminded of the girl's face by the way the petals danced in the wind, he thinly smiled.
Oh Nobunaga... you thought you could hide it from Gorouza? Gorouza on the other hand is having a blast.
Well I hope everyone enjoyed this story and I'll see you all on Sunday! I think a lot of people are going to enjoy the next chapter, so please look forward to that.
