Ryoma: Kagero, may I have a moment of your time?

Kagero: Of course, Lord Ryoma. Do you have a mission for me?

Ryoma: The opposite, in fact. I wanted to express to you my gratitude for all of your hard work. Is there anything you'd like as a sign of my appreciation?

Kagero: Milord... You're much too kind! I couldn't possibly ask anything of you.

Ryoma: It's no trouble at all, Kagero. Really—is there anything you need?

Kagero: I'm grateful, milord. More than I can say. I never imagined myself in this situation. It really is a difficult question... Hmmm...

Ryoma: I didn't think it would be this challenging. Perhaps a special meal? Or some new armor or weapons?

Kagero: I apologize, milord. I've lived so much of my life without luxuries... The idea of having them, and especially of getting them without cost...it's foreign. Also, I do not feel I have done anything to require such generosity from you. Knowing that you appreciate my efforts is enough.

Ryoma: Hmmm... Yet, I do not feel like I have done enough to thank you. Very well; Kagero, I order you to come up with something you would like to receive.

Kagero: Excuse me, milord?!

Ryoma: And you'd best think of something soon. I'll be asking you about this every time I see you until you have decided.

Kagero: I... The stress of this is giving me a headache.

Ryoma: I have every confidence that you'll think of something. Good luck!

(Ryoma leaves)

Kagero: Wait, Lord Ryoma... He's gone. What...what am I going to do?

Kagero: Lord Ryoma, I have a report on the mission you assigned to me the other day.

Ryoma: Your mission to find something you'd like to have? What did you think of?

Kagero: After much thought, I've been unable to think of any item I would like. However, I did think of something you could do for me.

Ryoma: Oh? And what is that?

Kagero: It would be an honor to...train with you. Normally, it would be unacceptable to cross blades with you, even in training. But I feel that if you'd make the exception, I could learn a lot from sparring with you.

Ryoma: Hah, this certainly sounds like the kind of request you would make. I'm glad you've found a way to express what you wanted. And to me, you asking to spar with me means you have confidence in my abilities.

Kagero: Then...you and I may practice together?

Ryoma: Indeed. If that is what you wish, I will face you as many times as you like.

Kagero: I'm incredibly grateful, milord.

Ryoma: Hah, don't thank me quite yet. You may end up defeating me easily; if that happens, I doubt you'll learn very much.

Kagero: Milord, I seriously doubt that I will be defeating you anytime soon. Knowing that, I'll be coming at you with everything I've got.

Ryoma: I would expect no less from you. Come, Kagero, to the practice field!

Kagero: Yes, milord!

Ryoma: So, Kagero, tell me what you thought of our sparring match the other day.

Kagero: It was just as I expected; I learned much from being opposite you in battle. Things I couldn't possibly notice when fighting alongside you.

Ryoma: I'm glad to hear it, although I still don't believe it is enough to thank you properly.

Kagero: It well exceeds anything I could possibly deserve from you, milord.

Ryoma: Well, allow me to propose another idea; join me for some green tea.

Kagero: Pardon me, milord? Tea?

Ryoma: I understand that you enjoy the tranquility of making tea, correct? This would be a relaxing alternative to our sparring sessions.

Kagero: Thank you for the offer, milord. If that is what you'd like, I can't refuse.

Ryoma: You have a strong tendency to put others before yourself and of working extra hard. You must not forget to take some time for yourself every once in a while.

Kagero: You are not the first person to tell me so, but it's just not in my nature. I promise that your advice does not fall on deaf ears, though, milord.

Ryoma: That is all I can ask. Remember that I am entrusting my well-being to you, Kagero. It's important to me that you are in the best shape.

Kagero: Of course. I will do everything in my power to meet your expectations, milord!

Ryoma: Kagero, it seems like you've been working nonstop lately. Is something wrong?

Kagero: Ah, hello, Lord Ryoma. Don't worry, it's nothing you should concern yourself with.

Ryoma: You remember that I told you the other day not to overwork yourself. Are you planning to ignore my advice?

Kagero: N-no, milord! I would never do that.

Ryoma: Then how come the other troops tell me that you're working yourself to death? I appreciate how much you do for us, but I'm worried about you...

Kagero: It's just... Well, I'm not certain I can tell you.

Ryoma: If it is so serious that you can't even tell your liege... Well, that just makes me worry more.

Kagero: It is specifically because you are my liege that I hesitate... *sigh* I have feelings that are inappropriate.

Ryoma: What do you mean?

Kagero: In all the time I've served under you, all I have felt for you is respect. However...as we've worked together more, I've grown to appreciate your kindness. Lately, whenever I see you, I've felt this strange pull toward you. It's felt like more than a sense of duty. I spoke with a close friend of mine. I felt her opinion could guide me...

Ryoma: What did she have to say?

Kagero: She said it was incredibly obvious. She said I was in love.

Ryoma: You fell in love with me, your liege?

Kagero: I know it's not right—that loving you is above my station. I know that there is no way a romance between us could last. I was working so hard to try and suppress the pain I feel when I'm around you... That's why I've been constantly going out on missions.

Ryoma: I see. That makes everything much more clear, Kagero.

Kagero: I know this complicates our relationship. If you want, I will leave on my own.

Ryoma: Why would I ever order you to leave?

Kagero: Because this changes our dynamic... Milord? Why are you making that face?

Ryoma: I'm sorry that I didn't realize how extensive your feelings were, Kagero. However, I promise that you'll never feel that pain again. I know I can stop it. You see, Kagero, I love you as well.

Kagero: Lord Ryoma! You mean that we've been hiding how we feel from each other?

Ryoma: Indeed. I never would have thought that you'd get the jump on me, though... Kagero, I feel so calm when I'm around you. I've never felt this way with anyone. I was afraid to tell you how I felt, out of fear of how you'd react. If I'd realized how you were suffering...

Kagero: Lord Ryoma... You had no way to know. I gave all my strength to hiding how I felt. But, if what you say is true, does that mean you want to live our lives...together?

Ryoma: It is, and that's exactly what I would like. I think that we'd be unstoppable together.

Kagero: I'm so happy, Lord Ryoma. Let's go forward, side by side!
