Takumi and Ryoma stood on the end of the stairs. Oboro and Hinata were leaning over the table staring in eachothers eyes. Ryoma had no idea what this was about nor had Takumi. They looked at eachother and both shrugged.

"Oh I'm so ready for this!" Oboro whispered so only Hinata could hear it. "I'm gonna ask him out and we're gonna spend that day in town!"

"Do you really believe that, Oboro?" Hinata responded. "I don't know if lord Takumi likes shopping so much? Last time I checked not a lot of guys actually enjoy that."

"T-there is a point of truth in that... But he'd do it for me if he really thinks I'm special!"

Takumi interrupted: "Guys... what exactly are you doing? This is a little awkward..."

Hinata and Oboro jumped up upon hearing that and smiled like noting had happened.

"Nothing wrong lord Takumi! We're all right!" Hinata said with an artificially happy voice.

"Yeah, there is no need to feel awkward right now!" Oboro said.

"... Well Ryoma and I are going to town today, we're gonna buy some weapons and then maybe drink something in town. Maybe you two could gather some herbs together in the woods?" Takumi said.

"Yeah, sure lord Takumi! I...- I mean WE will always do whatever to help you!" Oboro said.

"That's right! Have fun!" Hinata said.

Ryoma and Takumi left to town. Hinata and Oboro kept watching him while he was leaving and when we went around the corner the drama begun.

"I wanted to be the one to go to town with him!"Oboro whined.

"Oh, shoot! I was gonna ask him to go climb that mountain!" Hinata said out loud.

"Now he's going to have that drink with Ryoma and not with me! And the worst part is that I have to spend this day, which was meant to be a romantic one, with YOU!"

They both whined some more and then got ready to gather some herbs. They went to the woods to gather the ones Takumi always wanted. They were very far into the woods, so when they finally had the herbs they needed, it was early sunset. They didn't talk a lot on their way, nor in the woods nor on the way back.

"Well, Are you jealous?" Oboro then asked.

"Of Ryoma?" Hinata asked back.

"Yeah... I know you really wanted to have that walk with lord Takumi..."

"Well, being jealous is not really usefull, but yeah I'm kind of sad that we didn't go walking... You must feel bad as well... right?"

"Yeah, this day would have been perfect for a romantic day... That day that I have been dreaming of for so long..."

They both looked down and that was the last thing they said to eachother before arriving at the camp again. When they arrived the dinner was almost ready to be served. Jakob had cooked. Takumi was sitting at the table already. With Ryoma on the seat left to his and Azura on the seat right to his.

"And our seats are taken, great!" Every person could tell that those words from Oboro were pure sarcasm.

They sat down on random other seats, far away from Takumi. They finished dinner without saying anything. Except for things like: "Yeah, here is the salt" or "Can I have those Daikon" and "thanks" every now and then. The day went over and everybody in the camp went to bed.
