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...
