Sakura x Hana B
Music: Shine in the Light
HANA: Hey, Sakura. Would you like to continue our talk from the other day?
SAKURA: Hello, Hana. Of course. I always enjoy sitting and talking with you.
HANA: I've been thinking for a while... You're a really kindhearted person to have spent your time with me.
HANA: I wasn't exactly interested in all the things that someone like you would normally be.
HANA: And I felt like, if I could serve someone as deserving as you...
HANA: I could become a samurai just as great—- no, greater—- than my father was. That's why I worked so hard to become your retainer.
SAKURA: Hana...
HANA: When I was young, I promised myself that I would faithfully serve you.
HANA: I already knew I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps... Your kindness gave me a reason to achieve my goal.
SAKURA: ... When it came time to select a retainer, I was told there was no rush to decide. But I immediately named you anyway.
SAKURA: The reality is, I had decided on you long before I was given the choice.
HANA: Sakura...
SAKURA: Your capabilities as a fighter were obvious, and that made you a good choice, but...
HANA: ...?
SAKURA: You were such a young girl; several people questioned my decision because of that.
SAKURA: No matter how skilled a samurai, they did not believe you could fulfill your duties.
HANA: What? I didn't know that!
SAKURA: They said that a personal retainer needed experience even more than martial skill... And that, at your age, it would be impossible for you to fulfill your duties.
SAKURA: I refused to listen to them, though. I had decided, and eventually they gave up.
HANA: I never knew... I'm sorry you had to go through that, Lady Sakura.
HANA: Thank you so much.
HANA: But...why did you fight for me so hard?
SAKURA: Well, that's...
SAKURA: I apologize... I just remembered I have an urgent errand to attend to.
HANA: Huh?
SAKURA: Hana, let's continue this conversation at another time.
HANA: Sure...
HANA: That was oddly abrupt of her...
