It was frustrating, she fumed, staring at the open workbook before her. She was trying to envision a casual outfit suitable for the upcoming cultural festival, but no ideas seemed to be coming forth. Also, on the small dressmaker's doll was the design and fabrics for a small suit. The urge to complete the task sent by her family was compelling but the cultural festival was of a greater priority for now. After all, she was in the midst of her three years, along with Yuu-kun.
Her family's tradition had allowed her the freedom of independent living and that of choosing her future path. But, she had to accept Yuu-kun as her mission partner for these three years, letting him hone his skills as an informant. At least he wasn't as big a matchmaker as her cousin Tsukushi, who spent most of his three years finding a match for his sister Tsubaki.
Staring blankly at the dressmaker's doll, she gave up, and began to make their family's benefactor's suit instead. Measuring the fabric for the orange dress shirt, she wondered how others would react when she revealed that her family was a Family.
Or, she giggled, when she brought him to her hometown and introduced him to her family. That would be interesting. After all, she saw what happened when Cousin Tsubaki brought home her beau. And when she heard that he still asked for her hand in marriage despite that, well, that was impressive. It wasn't often that their family married civilians, despite the three years of independence. Rarer was the fact that they could find someone who could withstand all the hectic nonsense of the Underworld. Pondering about it, she hoped that the guy she had set her heart on would do the same as her cousin-in-law. But still, what will be will be, the future had yet to come. And she had just started the assignment her family had sent her but still had no idea what to do for the cultural festival. Or she mused, looking at the suit coming into shape under her hands, perhaps she did.
