(Location: Manor courtyard)

Mitile: Master Sage!

After some time had passed, Mitile was the first one to come back. But the person he brought along was different from what I had expected.

Rutile: Okay, Mitile? Master Sage is the finish line.

Mitile: Brother, wait!

Akira: (Hm? Rutile?)

Rutile: First place! Master Sage, thank you for waiting.

Mitile: I’m sorry, I just couldn’t find Riquet anywhere.

Akira: It’s alright. Is Riquet not around?

Mitile: No, actually I saw him, but….
Mitile: Apparently he ate too much sweets, and he fell ill. Then, Mr. Nero told him it’s best to refrain from it for a while, so he declined.

Akira: Ah…. Come to think of it, I think I saw Riquet and Bradley scrambling to eat a big tart at the dining room yesterday….

Rutile: And so, I am here to go to the garden party in his place.

Mitile: I thought that my brother would like the sweets, and the castle.
Mitile: But I really think it would be nice if we can all go together….

Rutile: Mitile, let’s ask Salonese for delicate sweets to bring home as a present for Riquet, okay?

Mitile: ...Okay. I’ll bring back a lot of memories, so we can talk a lot about it, too!

Shino: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Akira: Ah, Shino. Welcome back.

Cain: Not only Shino!
Cain: Hiya, Sage, and Mitile and Rutile.

Cain appeared from behind Shino. Other than him, I don’t see anyone else around.

Akira: (Didn’t Shino say he was going to bring Heath along…)

I didn’t think Shino would bring someone else, so I stared at him. Shino then pointed his fingers at Cain.

Shino: Heath won’t be coming. So I brought Cain instead.

Cain looked at me and smiled refreshingly.

Cain: I happened to walk by Shino and Heath talking.
Cain: Seems like Heath couldn’t go, so I’m here as a substitute.

Akira: So that was the case. Does Heath have something to do?

Shino: He has to reply to an urgent letter from Eastern Country, so his hands are full.

Cain: He’s quite the busy person, after all. It can’t be helped today, but I’m sure he’ll be pleased to be invited next time.
Cain: Anyway, where are we going?

Akira: Eh? You didn’t hear from Shino?

Shino: Was I supposed to tell him?

Mitile: Mr. Cain didn’t even ask and still decided to come…

Cain: Oh yeah, I didn’t ask.
Cain: I didn’t have any other things to do, so I thought anywhere is fine. Also, Shino asked Heath, so it couldn’t be somewhere bad.

Shino: You’re right. You sure understand, Cain.

Akira: (...How should I put it, these two could be a good duo…)

Rutile: Today, we received an invitation from Salonese the Witch of Pastries. We’re going to her castle to attend her garden party.

Cain: A garden party? Oh, I should’ve worn something more appropriate.

Mitile: Mr. Cain, you’re already fine as you are!

Rutile: Yes, as Mitile said. You’re so cool, always this firm, crisp, and crunchy!

Shino, Cain, and Mitile: “Crunchy”…?

While we were chatting lively, White finally came back. He, too, brought along someone unexpected.

Oz: ….

White: Oh, you all gathered!

Cain: Oz! You’re coming too?

Oz: ...I’m not here out of my own volition.

Oz came walking behind White, the master who taught him magic like a silent shadow.

His expression was not something unfamiliar; it’s the reluctant expression he wears when he got himself wrapped around the twins’ fingers.

Akira: White, so Oz was the helper you mentioned earlier.

White: His magic can bring us anywhere in an instant. It is a very crucial thing to make this plan a success.

Mitile: Surprise? Are we going to do something at the party?

Rutile: Now that I think about it, I don’t see Master Snow anywhere….

White: Right we are. It is a surprise for Snow and Salonese.
White: We shall brew a tea that will just be the perfect complement for the pastries, and bring joy to both of them.

Shino: But what does Oz’s magic have to do with this? Are we going to a shop that’s hella far?

White: No, we are going to brew them by ourselves. We will tour various regions to collect the best ingredients necessary for this one of a kind tea.
White: We make Snow and Salonese be in awe with a special blend of tea. Oh, isn’t it just exciting?

Rutile: A handmade blended tea as a surprise is just wonderful! Please, allow me to be of help.

Mitile: Me too! I’ll do my best to help!

Cain: Alright! Everyone, let’s surprise Master Snow!

Shino: I can’t wait.

Everyone is thrilled at White’s proposal. While we are happy to be invited, the joy of making someone happy is even more than that.

White: Oh, such good boys, cooperating so well. Oz even came all the way here, too.

Oz: You threatened me.

White: I sure did not! I did nothing more than imitate a crying voice in front of your room!

Oz: Oh, so you confessed.

White: Wait, no, no, that was a lie! I really cried!

day and dreams, night and wishes
