Part 1. I'll Show You How It's Done

Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord. Here?
Commander:
Kaen. What's up? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Commander:
Instead of answering my question, Kaen silently handed something over.
Sushi? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yeah.
Commander:
I still haven't digested my lunch, though...
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
You...don't like it?
Commander:
As I hesitated, I noticed how Kaen got dispirited.
Haha, nah. They say what's good pleases the eye, right? (Choice)
I said that, but honestly, the sushi Kaen made did look good.
And I'm sure they taste good too. Leaving everything aside, Kaen is as good as Sowan when it comes to sushi.
Thanks, I appreciate it. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yeah.
Commander:
First, I picked up the one made from a white fish on the left.
And after dipping it slightly into soy sauce.
*Cough!* (Choice)
I tried very hard not to spit it out after an unexpected taste spread on my tongue.
The sushi did not taste like what I expected it to taste like.
It looked like sushi, but I was sure the ingredients included jelly, candy, jams, and chocolates.
Kaen...this... (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen. Feeling.
Commander:
... (Choice)
How can I say no when she says she's being sincere?
I took a deep breath and cleared the rest of the sushi.
This is? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Instead of soy sauce...an Ebi pickled with orange juice.
Commander:
I have to say the orange juice did a great job killing my appetite.
...And this? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
A tuna tataki...torched along with candy flakes.
Commander:
I could sense the glucose and the fat from the two ingredients literally blocking my blood vessels.
...How about this? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kustard pudding, nigiri.
Commander:
Leaving aside how it tasted like, this one involved great skill to make sure the pudding on top of the rice didn't fall off.
... (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Norimaki...filled with cream.
Commander:
A great final blow to my stomach.
Those were my thoughts on them, but they weren't inedible.
Yeah, they were edible...but if Sowan found out about this...
Sowan Icon Sowan:
Looks like you don't know how to talk with your ingredients...
Perhaps becoming one yourself would help you understand their feeling?
Commander:
The incarnation of the goddess of ingredients would scorch this earth, looking for the culprit behind this.
I had no choice but to empty the plate for the peace of Orca's kitchen.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
How was it?
Commander:
I...it was creative. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Commander:
Kaen? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen. Leaving.
Commander:
And she left with the empty plate in her hand.
What just happened? (Choice)
I could tell she was somewhat disappointed.
And for dinner, sushi was yet again served.
Sowan Icon Sowan:
I pulled a trick or two as I got my hands on some good quality fish.
Commander:
Calmly but with pride, Sowan served the sushi.
And I had no choice but to respond to Sowan by...
Sorry, but I'm not really in a mood to have some sushi tonight... (Choice)
Not surprisingly, Sowan became sullen.
To make up for it, I had no choice but to empty the plate and felt sick. Urgh!

Part 2. Scent

Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord.
Commander:
Kaen. What's up? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
I. Want you. To follow.
Commander:
To where? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Somewhere close.
Commander:
Alright. (Choice)
As I nodded in approval, she led the way to our destination.
And like she said, she brought me to a small room close by.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Here. My Lord.
Commander:
It was a small room, with no lighting but a candle in the middle of the room.
And I noticed how there was a blanket next to it.
Wait...I think I know what's coming...
I wasn't going to say no, but I decided to act a little mischievous.
I'll start screaming the moment you do something weird. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Weird?
Commander:
Oh? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Hmm?
Commander:
You're not? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
What?
Commander:
Nevermind...sorry. (Choice)
I then realized that the room was filled with a different scent.
Is smells nice in here. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yeah.
Commander:
Kaen closed the door and pointed across the room as she sat down in front of the candle.
And I sat down across her.
What's the matter, Kaen? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Feeling.
Commander:
As she said that, Kaen pointed at the blanket next to me.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
The sun was lovely. Smells. Good.
Commander:
Indeed, as I laid down on the blanket, I was surrounded by the smell of the newly washed and well-dried blanket.
And as I was lying down, Kaen handed me a bouquet of flowers.
What's this? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Canolas.
Commander:
Canolas...
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Take these.
Commander:
Kaen handed over a new bouquet.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Dahlia.
Lily. Rose. Hibiscus. Lilac. Tulip. Lisianthus. Sunflower. Calla.
Commander:
Kaen taught me the names of the flowers as she handed them over.
Some of them I knew.
And their meaning...
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Smells...Good?
Commander:
Yeah. They're lovely. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
There's more.
Commander:
Kaen then grabbed the candle and began lighting more.
And she didn't stop there and took out an incense holder and placed one on it.
Soon, the room was filled with a strong scent.
They were so strong that they numbed all my senses but my smell.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
So?
Commander:
Well... (Choice)
I said nothing but gently stroked the canolas in my hand.
Canolas weren't the flowers with the best scent...but it was significant in another way.
Hatsuna...Kaen's real name.
All the other flowers also had their own meaning.
Lily. Rose. Hibiscus. Lilac. Tulip. Lisianthus. Sunflower. Calla...
They all represented affection in one way or another.
And everything began making sense in my head.
Kaen...and love...
But why is she using this way to portray how she feels?
Am I thinking too simply?
And like that, I tried my best to see if there was another meaning behind this.
But I was already mesmerized by the room's smell and couldn't think straight.
Also...
*Cough! Cough!* (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Cough! Cough!
Commander:
It wasn't surprising the room was soon filled with smoke after liting up all those candles and incenses.
Soon, the sprinklers went off with a fire alarm.
And both of us ran outside, soaked wet.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord.
Commander:
Yeah? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
So?
Commander:
...Let's not do this in a confined space next time. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...Okay.
Commander:
Kaen trudged back to her room.
And as I saw her leave, I tried again to figure out what kind of message Kaen was trying to convey.
Kaen and love...
Was she trying to ask me out? (Choice)
But why go through all this trouble?
Alice Icon Alice:
Master, what happened?!
Commander:
Alice was the first to come after the fire alarm rang.
Alice Icon Alice:
Are you hurt?
Commander:
Nah, I'm fine. Thanks, Alice. (Choice)
Alice took a breath of relief and checked out the room I was in with Kaen.
Alice Icon Alice:
Were you playing with...fire?
Commander:
No...more like...Aromatherapy? (Choice)
Constantia Icon Constantia:
Mater! Are you alright?
Vanilla Icon Vanilla:
We'll take you to a safe room immediately.
Commander:
And soon, more crews that heard the alarm gathered round.
And...
Alice Icon Alice:
Master...if you wanted to be scolded, you could have just told me...
Vanilla Icon Vanilla:
I knew you liked playing with fire, but I always thought you had the senses to contain it until nightfall, Master.
I didn't expect you to enjoy such childish behaviour.
Or perhaps you wanted to get kinky, remove your wet clothes, and walk naked around this place?
Constantia Icon Constantia:
I beg you. Please look after yourself. I'll be extremely sad if I see you get hurt.
Commander:
And I ended up getting scolded differently by the three.
I wanted to defend myself, but I did not say Kaen was also with me, I need to find out what she wanted to say.

Part 3. Dancing Kaen

Commander:
As I was strolling around Orca, and encountered a wild Neodym, Emily, and Kaen.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord.
Commander:
Yeah? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen. Dance. Watch.
Commander:
As soon as Kaen finished her sentence, Neodym took out the maracas, and Emily took out a triangle.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Commander:
Kaen began showing off her choreography that was too hard for me to follow.
They weren't acrobatic but rather simple movements, unlike when she's performing or engaging with an enemy.
But I could tell Kaen was being serious as she solemnly continued. She looked like some sort of a priest worshipping a god.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Phew...
Commander:
After a long performance, Kaen took a deep breath.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
So?
Commander:
If you ask me how that was...
From what happened previously, I kinda knew the answer. But I wasn't sure if this was the right one.
So I had no choice but to say.
That was...deep. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Commander:
Kaen said nothing but nodded and left the area.
Emily Icon Emily:
...
Maybe...I should have...brought castanets?
Commander:
And Emily followed.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Commander.
Commander:
Yeah? (Choice)
Neodym Icon Neodym:
You idiot.
Commander:
Neodym snapped at me and joined the rest.

Part 4. Self-reflection meeting

Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
I failed...every mission...
Emily Icon Emily:
It's alright...Kaen.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Thanks.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
My teacher had said success is the mother of failure.
She told me how when someone finds out your secret point, you analyze the pattern of the discoverer and find a new point.
Let's go through why the missions failed first.
Emily Icon Emily:
With...some snacks.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
First, our approach of showing your feelings through food.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Sweet and Sour. How I feel.
Emily Icon Emily:
We ended up...adding chocolates, jelly...and juices to the sushi.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord...Ate them all...Said Creative.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Perhaps He was not cultured enough to know.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Next, Kaen's feelings...Showed through scent.
Emily Icon Emily:
And the Commander...ended up getting scolded.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
It was...Kaen's fault...
Emily Icon Emily:
Commander's kind...that's why...I like him.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Glad you two are okay.
Emily Icon Emily:
Lastly...showing it through...dance.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord. Said it was deep.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
We were trying the courtship dance like the animals. But he didn't get the message.
Commander's an idiot.
Emily Icon Emily:
Maybe...we should have tried...signing too?
Lover lover lover lover.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Neodym went to town
A-riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.
Emily Icon Emily:
So...next...we try singing?
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen. Singing...Cannot.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Brownie told me that it's not one's skill but what one's trying to convey when it comes to singing.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
That's not what I meant.
Kaen. Can't literally. Communicate.
Singing...Cannot.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
I'm sorry...
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
No. It's fine.
Emily Icon Emily:
Hmm...
Ah.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Got any good ideas?
Emily Icon Emily:
What about...a letter?
If you write...slowly...maybe...you can tell him how you feel?
We can ask...Constantia...to proofread.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Great idea.
Here. Take my candy for coming up with a good plan.
Emily Icon Emily:
Thanks.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
So, what do you say to the letter idea, Kaen?
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Good.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Let's get to it then.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
But...
Kaen letter...Doesn't want...Another to see.
Emily Icon Emily:
Why?
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen. Was born. Like this. The speech.
Same with....Writing.
It can't be cured.
If I write a letter...Always need help from someone.
When that happens...Not My Lord, but another, find out about. Kaen feelings.
No.
So...Kaen will figure it out.
Neodym Icon Neodym:
...Kaen.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yes?
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Take my chocolate.
Emily Icon Emily:
Mine too.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Why?
Neodym Icon Neodym:
Because we're rooting for you.
Emily Icon Emily:
Yeah...I'm not sure...what to say, but...
I admire...your courage.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Thanks.
Kaen. Off to write. Letter...

Part 5. Your Name

Commander:
As I was getting ready for bed, Kaen came to visit.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord, you around?
Commander:
What's wrong, Kaen? It's getting late. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Letter.
Commander:
A letter? What letter? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen's letter.
Commander:
And Kaen handed me a scroll.
Mind if I read it now? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
No.
Commander:
And I began reading her letter.
On it, there were well-written fragments of words or phrases.
But it still explained the behaviour Kaen showed recently.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
First, Kaen, apologize for bad writing.
Kaen's speech module is weird.
So communication is weird. Same with writing.
But Kaen's emotional module's fine.
Kaen's overwhelmed with emotions when I see you, My Lord.
Overwhelmed but can't express it.
They end up sinking deep down my heart.
And it makes my heart burst in frustration.
Tried telling you how Kaen feels. Tried hard.
Through cooking.
Through scent.
Through dancing.
But none of them worked.
Kaen knows. The letter won't work.
But still, want to try.
Commander:
With this letter, everything made sense.
Why she fed me bizarre food, why she lit up those candles and gave me flowers, and why she danced in front of me.
I wasn't sure if I was right, but now I am.
She was always serious.
She always tried her best to convey her feeling. The last phrase written in her letter.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Kaen loves you, My Lord.
Commander:
That was the best Kaen could do.
However, the awkward phrases forming awkward sentences felt more sincere than any love letter in this world.
Of course, I'm sure Kaen's words will never be enough to describe how she's feeling right now.
Nonetheless, deep down, her emotions reached me and soaked my heart.
And filled me up with nothing but Kaen.
Kaen. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yes?
Commander:
I opened my arms wide for her.
And slowly, she came close to me and hugged me.
Speech isn't the only way to show how you feel to someone. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yeah...
Commander:
Why don't you try and show me how you feel right now? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Okay...
Commander:
Kaen then took my hand and gently rubbed her cheek on it. My hands were filled with the soft feeling of her cheek.
And as much as I was enjoying this moment, Kaen was too.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
*Chuckles.*
Commander:
When Kaen and my eyes made contact, she chuckled gently and wrapped her arms around my neck.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord.
Commander:
Slowly, Kaen's face came near me, and I could see nothing but her.
And she became my world when something soft touched my lips.
Kaen was all I could think of, what my heart yearns for.
After the short kiss, Kaen drew back.
Little dazed, Kaen took her hand to her chest.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Weird.
Commander:
What is? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Showed...my feelings. In the best way. But still not enough.
It's overflowing...my emotions.
Commander:
The feeling's mutual. (Choice)
And I showed how I felt in my own way.
I love you too, Kaen. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Commander:
As a response to my confession, Kaen used her entire body to show me her answer.
Her body was warm, and a sweet scent tickled my nose from her boiling body. Her eyes were better than thousand words
and made me feel how much she cared about it; as our bodies drew near one another, I could feel her heart pounding.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord.
Commander:
Yeah. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
My Lord loves, and Kaen loves, each other.
Let me teach you my name. It's a rule. To teach my real name, when you love someone.
Kaen's name is Hatsuna. A Canola.
My Lord. Hatsuna, say it, please.
Commander:
Hatsuna... (Choice)
As I said her name, I could tell her face was blooming with a smile.
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...Yes. My Lord. Kaen is happy.
Commander:
The both of us spent the rest of the night trying to show one another how we felt towards each other.
When I woke up the following day, I noticed Kaen was looking at me.
Kaen...(Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
...
Commander:
Kaen said nothing but pouted.
Well...I guess...I'll try it again.
...Hatsuna? (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yes. My Lord.
Commander:
Humanity of the past took away her ability to communicate to serve their own greed.
Though she admits the inconvenience, never once did she think her current state's miserable or became pessimistic.
She used her own way to make up for what she lacked, and she was also surrounded by others who were willing to help her.
And I'm sure Kaen would do the same and help another in need, feeling happy as she does so.
My words were never enough to describe how glad I was to learn that I was the person she loved.
But still, I had to try and express it.
Hatsuna. (Choice)
Kunoichi Kaen Icon Kunoichi Kaen:
Yes?
Commander:
I pulled her face near mine.
Kaen grinned faintly and kissed me.
And that day, the withered flower of Muromachi bloomed once again.

End.
