(D4, ME) Mimei Matters by Shiba Isao

[Kitsu Murato]

"A shrine priest doesn't wear the nice garments that this one wears." The Kaito giggled lightly. "But if you want to we can try and find you something that may be closer to a maiden's clothes." The priestess said playfully.

"So we need to go shopping for me next then?" he asks. "What if we don't find anything in my size?"

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"Just know that if you overdo it, you'll wake up feeling like a mujina is living in your head, and you'll most likely need to vomit."

A pause.

"Of course, such suffering will take your mind off of whatever else is bothering you. Temporarily."

"Today has been...eventful to say the least, full of highs and lows and I expect much of the same in the coming days. But what did you think of the play?"

He... half-smiled.

"I think not finishing a story in an effort to be artsy isn't something to my taste. Of course... having no siblings, I also really cannot relate to the central conflict. In general I've found most of these so far to be hard to relate to."

"Not finished?" He mused. "Oh, I see. I think I understand everyone's concern now, I had taken the curtain to symbolize them both dying, that in their focus on love over duty that they both had failed and fallen. I had taken it as commentary on Duty."

"See, I was a bit puzzled by how they could be so possessive of someone else that they'd duel their own blood- who they also supposedly loved- over it."

He sighed.

"By which I mean... so. I have very strong feelings for the woman I had you make that gift for. If she weds another, I will be unhappy. But not so unhappy that I'd do something idiotic to spoil her chance at happiness in her marriage."

He nodded toward the stage.

"Those two selfish idiots couldn't even be bothered to figure out what she wanted. And they were so convinced what they felt was love that they drew steel on someone we're told they did. 'Let the Heavens decide,' fine, but what about Mimei? If they really loved her, they'd care about what she wanted."

"I..." She was about to offer something but she would die of embarrassment. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, hai." The Kaito gave a smile.

"I..." She was about to offer something but she would die of embarrassment. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, hai." The Kaito gave a smile.

"Very well, not getting ahead," he smiled. "Maybe a question about back home then. Did you have any theater's near the Water Dragon Temple?" he asks, curious if she was a frequenter of the theater.

Soyokaze took in the Shiba's wise words. What if you believed her marrying another was dangerous for her, would you still stay silent?" Something in his voice suggested that this was more than just a theoretical question. "You are right though, they should have just talked to Mimei."

"Oh, if I believed it posed a danger, I would naturally try to broach the subject- both to her and to the nakodo, probably in that order- but that's not what this play had going, now was it?"

A pause.

"Of course, if we're talking about something besides my limited art critique, things become more complex."

He changed the subject rapidly. "Did you manage to find a skilled enough woodworker to craft a saya for the pin yet?"
