"It's not like he gave me much of a choice he kinda insisted." Says Haru.
"Is that so... Phew.. anyway come help me pick up mine then and make sure it looks better than yours ok." Says Akane.
"Okay..." Says Haru while in her head she says. "She switched the conversation faster than I thought."
"Hey Haru before you completely pass this off as one os Akane's jocks I'll tell you what she was about to say instead." Says Mrs. Vale and she adds. "The Kingdom and it's nobles do their job well to make sure the country is handled well keeping everything in control, and by control I mean... No food shortages, no vas spreading diseases, clean water, jobs and such more to make sure the good of the people but in addition to that they have a very strict rule about violating the kingdoms customs (laws). And one of those those customs they follow is that only a person from a noble family can marry into a noble family and no common can marry a noble."
She continues by saying. "Commoner to commoner and noble to noble as such to maintain older between our respect to tradition and vows, do you understand now." Mrs. Vale asks Haru.
"Yes Mrs. Vale" Haru answered.
"Great." Says Mrs. Vale who smiled brightly had not to notice she is a good teacher with kindness.
"Hey Haru! Get over here." Akane calling Haru to go where she was.
The time passed and it was time to head back and meet up with Mr. Sora and Mr. Kenji.
"Thanks again!" Says Akane while waving goodbye and Mrs. Vale waved back as well. "See you soon!" Akane added.
"Oh and Haru take care ok!" Said Mrs. Vale.
"She's amazing isn't she?" Akane asking Haru.
"Yeah... She is." Says Haru and she smiles a bit. Akane quietly observed that tiny smile on Haru's face before she smiled happily as well.
A bit of time passed and Mr. Kenji and Mr. Sora arrived.
"Did you girls get what you wanted." Mr. Sora asks.
"Yap." Says Akane.
"That's great let's go then, though how about you Haru..." Says Mr. Sora.
"Did you have fun?" Mr. Kenji asks.
"Yes I did. Akane even bought some dried squid, it was very nice eating it after a while." Says Haru.
Mr. Sora couldn't help but notice something from what she just said because at this point everyone at the mansion was aware of the incident.
"Hey Haru are your memories returning slowly? Because if I understand what you meant correctly, you haven't eaten a "squid" in a while does that mean you remember eating it before?" Mr. Sora asked Haru.
"I.... I.. . I don't know it's strange now that you mentioned it out." Says Haru with a straight face almost emotionless.
"But you'll remember everything at some point right? So don't over think it okay." Says Akane while smiling at her gently.
"Right." Says Haru in agreement.
Mr. Sora couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Just imagining living a life where you forget who you are is completely depressing, don't you think so?" Says Mr. Sora.
"Hm." Mr. Kenji nodded.
Mr. Sora whipped the ropes and the horses where off.
They arrived at the mantion in time to do their chores and prepare sapper for the Zaikai family.
"Thanks and travel safely through the farm!" Akane saying goodbye to Mr. Sora and Mr. Kenji.
There are two guards always posted on the main gate of the Zaikai mansion.
"Oh look who's here." Says Akira.
Akira Kōjin, she's one of the main chefs of the Zaikai household a high reach for someone at the age of 17.
Akane rashed to Akira's side and said. "Awww... Did you miss me that much?" She asks.
Akira looked away and said. "Not at all, I wasn't even referring to you I was talking to Ha..." She was still talking before suddenly Akane appeared in front of her face and she said.
"Awww.. I'm hurt boo hoo, you really didn't miss me?" Akane asks Akira.
"Why would I? just knowing you left today, it was a relief to hear but since the universe hates me so much it brought you back." Says Akira who is annoyed.
"Hey you wanna hear a fact?" Akane asks Akira.
"What?" Says Akira while facing her attention somewhere else.
"You're shorter than me." Says Akane with a teasing smile.
"That's because you're older so it's normal." Says Akira.
"That's your excuse, I do remember showing you how tall I was when I was your age remember." Says Akane.
"Yeah so what." Says Akira trying to ignore her so she closes her hands against her chest and looks away from her.
"Admit it, I was taller than you by 7 cm since then and if we where at the same age now you would probably still be 7cm shorter than me." Says Akane with a gentle playful smile.
Akira closed her arms together before saying. "You think I care."
"No... I think it's slowly killing you, completely eating you from the inside out." Says Akane as she smiles with a grin.
Akira looked composed until her resistance completely broke.
"Why do you always find a way to make me feel uncomfortable!" Says Akira as she starts chasing Akane around.
Haru in the background completely in the mist of what just happened.
"Oh, lady Haru you're back." Says Mr. Kōjin
Mr. Kōjin Rin is the oldest worker currently at Zaikai mansion and he is working as the main battler of the Zaikai household truly a man at he's prime and the second oldest among the workers at the mansion is Mr. Lila Kusa no Kokoro the gardener.
"Mr. Kōjin... Am I right?" Haru asks in respect as she bowed her heard.
"Yes you are. How was your trip with lady Akane? I hope everything went well." He asks.
"Yes it did thank you for asking." Says Haru.
"I'm glad." Says Mr. Kōjin and also turns he's site to look at what Akane and Akira where doing.
"Come on you gotta reach further if you wanna reach me or you'll never reach that seven." Says Akane still being chased by Akira.
Akira who is still trying her best to catch Akane. "Aaah! Shut up!" She shouted.
Both Mr. Kōjin and Haru are now under the same tension of what is going on with them.
"Lady Haru I actually came here to give you olders from the madam so you should be aware of what you should include on what you should carry tomorrow as you depart." Says Mr. Kōjin.
"Thank you, for coming all this way." Says Haru.
"You will never catch me just admit it!" Akane running while screaming on the mansion grounds.
"That's what you think!" Akira also chasing her around.
Then out of know where a shout at it's top voice through the window. "Akane! If this noise is your doing!" It is the madam of the mansion.
Akane kneeled down with her face almost reaching the ground and scream. "I'm sorry Madam!.. I mean mom!. Mrs. Tokiwa!. Hmmm..." Says Akane who's completely shaking and startled.
"Just stop making noise already!.. Serious she won't let me breath a day in peace with her around, the vacation might really help, I'm too old to be mothering." Says Mr. Tokiwa as she walked away from the window.
Akane balling her eyes out with tear flowing like rivers. "I really thought my soul exited my body for a moment there." Says Akane.
"You started this whole mess." Says Akira.
The next day they prepared everything and headed to the beach resort.
The guest list.
1. Mrs. Tokiwa Mirai
2. Mr. Zaikai Takanori
3. Mrs. Kōchō Sakura
4. Mr. Tsubasa Kōjin
5. Mrs. Tokiwa Mirai
6. Mrs. Akane Komori
7. Mrs. Haru Yasashisa
8. Mr. Kaze Kenji
9. Mrs. Kaze Ruri
As for the rest.
"Thank you but this old man's place to relax would be at home, I am deeply grateful that you asked me to come along." Said Mr. Kōjin.
"If I go no one will be here to take care of the flowers well enough." Said Mr. Lila Kusa no Kokoro.
"We're fine, simply staying here in the farm is enough for us" said the Kaze boys at the same time but they then desperately burged their parents to come instead even though the madam asked for all the residents besides the guards who need to look after the place when they left.
"I can't believe you guys.. seriously how can you accept to simply waste your time going on a vacation..." As Akira was talking Akane cut her short by saying. "Just answer the question. Are you coming?" Akane asking Akira.
"No. I rather stay here where my feet doesn't sink in sand." What Akira said.
"Welcome to the Golden swan Emporium" says the voice on the magic speaker and it adds. "We hope you have a wonderful time of fun, and remember safety is always a mast."
"Waaaaaaa...!!!" Akane screaming out of surprise. As she adds. "It can't be, I must be dreaming." Says Akane.
"Why is that?" Haru asks Akane.
"This is one of the top 5 best resorts in the Kingdom... And just being able to book a week stay vacation here can cost a fortune." Says Akane.
"She's right." Says Mr. Kenji.
"Yes. Mostly people just come here for a day and some of those people travel far just to visit one and some even save up for a chance to come here, it's really a nice place and since the request list is always filled by people's request they started a limit rule, by a certain number people that are allowed to enter and those people who enter are the first people who sent the request ahead of time same goes for all loyals everywhere among the royal treatment." Says Mrs. Kaze.
"I see. You're a very good informant Mrs. Kaze" Says Haru respectful.
"Oh it's nothing much." She says back.
"Ok everyone let's go in." Says the Mrs. Tokiwa.
As they where walking Haru started noticing things that she just had to revise in her head. "I noticed it before and I'm seeing it again. The use of magic. Magic actually exists here. Fire magic, Water magic, Earth magic and probably more. Hm" Haru noticed something. "Is that a bird?" She asked out loud.
"Ah. You finally noticed them huh. Those are called gatcher birds around here. There trained to spot danger and report it to a nearest assistant and if someone looses something they are sent out to find it since there good at remembering patterns and color, so if where you I'd try my best not to provoke them, they are good at remembering." Says Mrs. Rari.
"Hm. Thank you again." Says Haru as she observed the bird flying away.
They had arrived at the main lobby waiting for an escort.
"If it isn't her in the flesh. I see, so you haven't stepped in the grave yet." Says the mysterious person with an old woman like voice.
Everyone's attention was drawn to this person's voice.
"I could say the same thing. Come out! how dare you disrespect me by calling me old in such a mana." Says Mrs. Tokiwa.
As everyone's attention was drawn to person in the shadow.
"As the lady commands, I'll show myself." Says the mysterious woman as she stepped out of the conner and removed her face cover as she said. "Tada did you not even miss me Mirai I'm kinda hurt, you could have at least recognized my voice." So she says as she relaxes and adds. "I am glad to see you though... It's been a while."
"Mirabelle?" Mrs. Tokiwa asks.
"The only one in this room, Yes." She said with a prideful flare.
"Mirabelle!" The Mrs. Tokiwa screaming in joy.
"Mirai!" The woman also cheering.
Now both of them held each other's hands as they started moving them away and back between them like a silly game.
Meanwhile Mr. Zaikai in he's head. "What the hell am I witnessing.... Grandmother, who's actually acting like a complete child right now?" So he says as he looked drained of energy.
Meanwhile on the other hand Mrs. Kōchō wasn't even paying attention from the start, she was just busy enjoying her tea.
Mrs. Mirabelle Edevane is a close friend of Mrs. Mirai Tokiwa during her younger days and they haven't seen each other for 11 years and not a very important detail but she's young than Mrs. Tokiwa by 1 year.
"I'm glad you guys could make it." Says Mrs. Edevane and she adds. "And it's totally like you not to leave behind your people at least some of them huh Mirai?, we have rooms available for you all." So she says as softly smiled.
"Grandmother I didn't know you had a friend that owns a resort." Says Mr Zaikai.
"What can this lady say besides, you don't know much about me besides the days I became your grandma, and it's not like I knew she was the one who owns this place now." Says the madam.
In Mr. Zaikai's head. "To be able to handle a huge resort like this in the Kingdom, she must be a royal then, but which family."
"Everyone listen closely. You probably have already noticed or head about how we maintain safety and security around here and that includes, knowing your neighbors by neighbors that mostly includes the people you came with, in which room they are located incase of an emergency which really never happens but we do it anyway." Says Mrs. Edevane.
After showing everyones rooms.
"That's about it now you all know where to find the others and since I showed you your rooms." Says Mrs. Edevane as she adds. "From here own I'm going to spend some time with one of my best friends so you guys can go exploring with Celine and she'll answer any more questions you have about this place."
"Celine?" Akane asked.
"Yes, she's my personal assistant but I'll learned her to you." Says Mrs. Edevane.
"I'm happy to assist." Says Celine.
Akane got spooked by Celine's sudden notice. "You ever head of the line speak of the devil? Because you totally showed up like one." Says Akane before Haru completely pitched her chick. "oOoOOuch please, please let go I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Celine Dovewood. She's the personal assistant for Mrs. Edevane, she always carries a smile on her face.
"Hahaha, you're an amazing bunch huh." Says Mrs. Edevane as she adds. "Anyways enjoy your stay, Let's go Mirai." So she said, then two started heading off.
"Are you okay Mr. Zaikai? You seem off right now." Mrs. Kōchō asks.
"I'm fine." Says Mr. Zaikai as he adds. "It was kinda weird hearing someone calling my grandma by her first name after so long." He says then after Kōchō noticed he's uncomfortable side she just smiled.
Haru who was besides them noticed how perfect the two looked together.
"Hey Mrs. Celine, so where are you taking us first?" Akane asking Lady Celine.
Lady Celine started showing them around the area and what they can do as they are there before taking them to an ice-cream stand.
"Hello Mr. Grimholt how are doing today." Lady Celine giving a greating.
"I'm doing well as thank you Celine." Says Mr. Grimholt Darrow as he adds. "How about you?"
Lady Celine replies. "I'm fine thank you. I actually came here with some visitors and some it's their first time here so could you give them a nice treat for a well first time start." She says.
"Well then you came to the right guy, hold on. I won't say much and let your tongues do the talking." Says Mr. Grimholt.
Later after all of them had taken a bite.
"Wow." Says Mrs. Kōchō in supplies to the ice screams test as she adds. "I usually prefer hot tea but this one is an exception." She says.
"I agree madam." Says Mrs. Komori the personal main of Mrs Kōchō.
In Haru's head. "Something that does completely feel familiar with my past life. It is very good. It even made Akane tear up in silence." Akane on the side was infact tearing while eating the ice-cream.
They continue on with their tour after that.
Akane murmuring. "That ice-cream was so delicious would it be bad if we head back and got more?" Akane asks.
"We can do that after we are done with the tour, ok?" Says Haru.
Akane is let down for not having a choice. "Okay." She says.
Later after completing the inside tour they headed outside.
"Welcome to the beach side. And if you need refreshments, at the left side of the beach over there is a shop where you can find something cold to drink." Says Lady Celine and she adds. "If there any questions?" She asked the group.
A question from Akane. "Can I find more ice-screams there?" She asks.
"Apparently no." Says Lady Celine as she adds. "Any other question?" She asks the group again.
"No." Everyone's answer.
"Ok, then I shall let you enjoy the day, if you could excuse me." Says Lady Celine.
Later on it was the end of the day then they return to their rooms.
Haru stood in the middle of the room trying to understand what she was looking at with attention more than usual. "So how many did you eat?" Haru asks.
"I don't know exactly. I feel like my stomach is trying to kill me." Akane crying and wallowing.
"You're lucky you first eat dinner before the ice-cream otherwise you wouldn't have eaten at all." Says Haru.
Akane was still wallowing through out while Haru stood there and sighed.
The next day.
Akane went back to the ice-cream shop. "Just one today please." Akane ordering an ice-cream with a down look on her face.
"Hahaha, how about you take this as a lesson from yesterday as a reason why people never get too much of what they want, otherwise it would just get too sickening." Says Mr. Grimholt.
"Lesson learned." Says Akane while still looking down in pain.
"Hey cheer up ok. Here you go." Says Mr. Grimholt as he handed Akane an Ice-cream.
Later after that.
"Did you notice?" Akane asks.
"Hm?" Haru looks at Akane.
"I'm talking about Mr. Kaze and the Mrs. There really having fun here too." Says Akane.
"I saw them head back to the couples area. I guess they liked it there more than the other places." Says Haru.
"How about we also find something to do as we are still here." Akane suggesting.
"Ok so what do you have in mind?" Haru asks Akane who smirked after Haru's question.
They went to the horse rides.
"Wooo hooo." Akane screaming out in the open while riding the horse.
After finally stopping at the stop point she says. "Hey Haru it's your turn now."
"I don't know how to ride a horse." Haru replied.
"No worry the instructor will take you." Says Akane with a cat-like smile.
"I really don't mind if I don't get to ride it." So she said and yet Akane grabs her shoulders and Haru adds. "I'm serious it's ok." She says but Akane is trying to get her onto the horses back. "Are you even listening." Haru asked but it was too late as she found herself on top of the horses back.
"Ready? Then hold on tight to me." Says the instructor, Haru had no choice so she held on.
"Ok, Hiya!" The instructor screamed and the horse rushed away going around the track.
"There you go!" Akane screaming out then she noticed someone watching from a far.
"Would you like to go next too Mrs. Kōchō?!" Akane asked.
Mrs. Kōchō Sakura who was standing in the outside passage way. "No I'm fine!.. I was just passing by so don't mind me!" So she said before heading out of site.
"Just passing by huh? Anway who knows what she finds fun, she has always been a mystery to me anway." Says Akane smiling it off.
Haru finally got off the horse and in her head she says. "I'm sorry Haru, now I know what you where up against, going against her with your personality must have been hard."
Akane runs up to Haru "So how did it feel." She asks Haru.
"It wasn't bad. I enjoyed it." Says Haru who seem emotionless even after that.
"I'm glad. Hehe." Says Akane who seem happy.
"And we're glad too that you enjoyed it. Right Snow?" Says the instructor and asked he's horse that shook it's head and neighed.
Letter after doing some more things together they where back inside the resort main house at dawn.
"It's not fair all the animals looked at me and acted towards me like I'm their enemy." Says Akane with a tear drop on her left eye.
"You had it coming to be honest." Says Haru laughing through the moment.
"It doesn't make sense because the horse liked me." Says Akane.
Haru is still giggling.
"Hey Haru can I ask you something." Akane asks.
"Yes you can. What is it?" Haru asks.
"Ok. Since you probably forgot it, I wanna ask you again. Can you tell me when something is bothering you?" Akane asks and for the moment she wasn't laughing or jocking.
"Oh. Hmm.. mh. Hahaha." Haru laughing.
"Hey why are you suddenly laughing. It's not fair I'm actually serious." Says Akane who's a bit flustered.
"I know you are. Sorry it's just that, this entire day... That's the only thing you said that came as a surprise to me." Says Haru.
"Oh really." Akane asks.
"Yeah. So before dinner how about we go get one of those ice-creams." Says Haru.
"Yeah now you're talking!" Akane shouting in excitement.
"Akane." Says Mrs. Tokiwa who was near by.
Akane started sweating bullets.
"It doesn't matter where you are it seems." Says Mrs. Tokiwa the madam of the Zaikai household.
"I'm sorry Madam." Says Akane while addressing Mrs. Tokiwa with her full respect.
Meanwhile in a certain room across the section where noble rooms are placed.
"I missed my day today too. I'll make sure I'll do it tomorrow. No matter what this time, because if I don't, things can turn out very bad for me." So says this mysterious lady.
