"Then you should pray to Lady Amaterasu and Lord Onnotangu." She nodded and smiled, not forgetting her sight on his hem. He has never ask her to look up so she knows little about his physique or his face. "Yet Honor is also a prayer that is not easily answered by the fortunes."

"Indeed." He nods as he agrees. "Honor is something one should pursue within oneself."

He takes a deep breath and clears his throat. "Alright. Where's the... broom?"

Yuzu's last words come sharp and edgy like blades.

She moved around as showing him where they were. "We are in a garden sama... I doubt Konohana no kami would like the flowers swept." She giggled. "I mean no disrespect" She bowed again.

"So what should I sweep?" He says, already getting somewhat frustrated, but not showing it.

She moved. "Follow me..." She found the rock garden. "In my time in Dragon lands my father took me to the rock gardens of the temples there. You sweep the sand making the decoration of the garden. The sand may be wet that may make it difficult to make but I know that a dutiful samurai like yourself can accept the challenge."

As he takes the broom in his hand, he nearly shivers. With squinted eyes toward Oubaihime, Yuzu thinks about give up and stop this nonsense. But then, she kind of challenges him, and that wouldn't do.

"Thbbft!" He chuckles, "Just seep these tiny rocks, then. Ok!"

Soon, Yuzu starts dragging the broom, clearly having no idea of what he is doing. When he finally finishes the whole thing, the bad mood can be felt pouring from his pores in osmosis.

"What a waste of time."

A sunflower.

The Kaito smiled just seeing him try. "Seems that sama does good circles." She nodded. "One day you may understand the work of a monk."

"I rather die in battle." He puts it out, sour, and dry.

That changed the Kaito's demeanor. "Don't say that master Seppun sama." She said sadden. "Have you seen death?"

"I... have." He killed a boar today. The biggest boar.
