[attr="class","luthorscroll"] It had been quite a while since everything around Taiyo started changing. First was his spirit dying, next was gravity being an ability he could command at will. It took him a bit to understand it but even that wasn’t forever. His magic was going under major changes and soon enough he couldn’t use his magic anymore. His cosmic connection was gone but it was replaced with something more fitting his path. He started having the command of a shadowy magic that could burn things. His touch with gravity was also gone but he was still being tormented by the forces that be. Whoever they were or it is was petty or maybe it was his imagination. He wasn’t so sure what was anymore but he had to do his best to keep his head on straight. Maybe he needed a change of pace. That was it! He needed to get some fresh air and see new faces. He already had an idea of a person he wanted to see again but the problem was he was a rogue and she was a citizen living in the Noble Region of the Clover Kingdom. Adding onto that, she worked at her family’s business, The White Lotus. There was no way that they would allow her to see him especially with rumors floating all around Clover. [break][break] Then it hit him. It was that time of year where nobles were supposed to help others. A time of servitude if you would call it that. Even though Sumire grew up in the East, one of her parents was a citizen of Clover and they should be aware of this. It would also be a good time for them to think about business deals and reach out further than simply the Noble Region and maybe some parts of the Common Region that were close to the noble region. This was perfect! All he needed was to convince one of the commoners there to get the woman to come out to serve. Maybe she would be open to reason and hearing him out. She was very skilled with a needle which he was very aware of since she made clothes for him. The clothes were a great fit and suited his cosmic battle style but now that his magic had changed, he needed new clothes. That wasn’t the only reason he wanted to see her though. [break][break] Now with a plan to reconnect with Sumire Honoka, all that was needed was for him to set out with Lucia. She was going to be going with him as insurance. What kind of insurance? The type to keep his estate hidden from unwanted attention. He wanted to stay as hidden as possible for as long as possible. He wasn’t going to bring too much attention to the area as it would risk people finding the new Vermillion Estate. Who knew who was after him? Sure, he could defend himself and kill the threat but it would put his current subjects at risk which he didn’t want to do. [break][break] Lucia opened a portal to the forsaken region and they both stepped in. ”Keep yourself hidden. I will give you a signal and that’s when I will need you to come to me.” He said to Lucia who nodded and found a hiding spot where she could clearly see Taiyo. Should Taiyo move to somewhere she couldn’t see clearly, she would relocate. [break][break] Taiyo approached one of the men and gave him a specific set of instructions. He was going to be well compensated with yul. Taiyo also offered a little gift as an incentive which the commoner appreciated. A deal was made and an offer for Sumire Honoka’s skills had been requested. The letter had specifically asked for her to come do a fitting in the area they were in in the forsaken region with coordinates so that she could find the spot. With the letter sent off, Taiyo took the time to hide away and waited for her to show up.
Post by Sumire Honoka on Jun 15, 2023 0:04:51 GMT -5
Sumire went about her business as she did every morning cause, after all, time waited for no one, and there was money to make for the family. She honestly didn't mind her life. She had her daily clientele that would come in for fittings or sample the newest shipments of fabrics or request a new garment to be made.
It was one of the most interesting times of the year. It was the time of the year she could never fully understand such needs for her to assist in. From what has been observed and dealt with in the past, it was a time of servitude for the socialites who did not become magic knights. She already viewed her assistance with the entire business as enough servitude for the sake of Clover to share her culture. However, she could tell from society's socialites that these tasks were often tiny, such as gardening, sipping tea, spending time with the elderly, or assisting with small tasks. At the same time, others tend to be stuck with the more labor-intensive jobs all over the kingdom. While most of the functions are kept to the noble reign or even strictly to the capital. She has heard some are actually requested from the forsaken region.
She was tending to a garment when one of the servants came to her with a letter. She found it odd for such tasks to be requested directly of her. She looked between it and the servant before folding the paper and putting it on her desk. She would ignore it for the time being as she had a deadline to meet and as much as exploring Clover and helping who she could. Her job came first and foremost. Her family's wishes will always move to priority.
Having finished her task, she set the garment aside, got it packaged, and set it aside for the client she would meet later that day for a fitting. Tidying up her area, she looked at the letter again, memorizing the coordinates before sending a message to her father to let him know where she was going and her plans to return for the fitting today. Call her a bit cautious, but she felt it necessary any time she had to leave for an unseen task suddenly. She got a satchel prepared with a snack, a drink, and some simple tools of her trade before taking one of the brooms at the shop.
She tied back her hair into a messy bun, held by two hairpins. She had a navy blue and detailed white hanfu with simple flowing sleeves covering her perfectly manicured fingertips. This did not set right due to what she had heard through the grapevine of some of her fellow acquiescence. She was not one for the drama of those within Clover. Some people get too hurt by the simple use of words, but when murder is tied, a fall of families happens. That is one thing that is on everyone's minds even more than the beautiful flower fete or the upcoming events later in the year.
She took her time getting to the location as she touched down, resting her broom against a rock and looking around " This is where the message spoke to be?" She asked wearily, bringing her hands close to her chest as she slowly walked into the small shop. She saw various textiles, some she recognized from her family's shop, some from one of the other nobles she worked closely with. She did not like the dusty smell. She held a sleeve over her nose and mouth to filter old cloth smells. She didn't like that the textiles were not treated right; they were old, and the shop needed to be cleaner. Why was she requested when many in this region could handle such things?
"Hello?" She called, looking around. She had her guard up in worry. This didn't set right with her. She almost wished to have waited for one of her servants to come with her, but she was sure she would be fine. Such matters only took hours
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] The man who had sent the information started to think of all the things he could do with the yul that he was promised. He sat and waited for the woman, not minding the wait since he would imagine that she would show up eventually. Taiyo also didn’t mind the wait. Since only that one guy knew his plan, Taiyo could relax on others finding out. [break][break] When she finally arrived, she had walked into an old shop that wasn’t in service any more. The people there didn’t provide enough business and since it was practically in the middle of nowhere, they lost a lot of business opportunities. It was one of the reasons that the guy was so desperate for more yul. Helping out someone as powerful as a Vermillion was something that felt like a good thing landing in his lap. The gift that was used as an incentive was a pretty good start too. Also having a woman from the White Lotus visit and provide a service was great. Even if it wasn’t him getting the fitting, just having her work done there was going to be good for business. He could simply exaggerate how they and the White Lotus were affiliates. Or maybe, he could wait until he was paid and keep the girl there to work for him. He didn’t know the full extent of Taiyo’s plan and that was good for the Vermillion. [break][break] “Hello there. Nice to see you make it safely, Ms. Honoka. I’ve heard tales of your work and I’ve even seen one of your clients wearing such great quality clothes.” He said with a smile as he entered the shop behind her. “Sorry for the mess, business hasn’t been great in these parts and all of my tools are no longer of any use. I was thinking that if I maybe scrape together change and get a fitting and clothes from the White Lotus, then I’d feel inspired to clean up the shop and try to get back into business.” What was really going for him was he believed that this could revitalize his will to work again. When he spoke, his voice was sure of what he was saying. The guy’s hair was a mess and he looked mostly terrible. It was clear that running out of business was hard on him. This was one of the reasons why he was the perfect candidate for Taiyo’s plan. He wasn’t just anyone but someone who needed help and could sell that well. [break][break] Taiyo remained hidden but was close enough to monitor the interactions between the man and Sumire. He was going to have to make sure that he was ready for if the plan didn’t work or if the man decided to cross him. Either way, he was ready.

Sumire nearly jumped out of her skin hearing a voice speak up as she kept herself calm and at a safe distance from the man as she folded her hands within her sleeves. "Thankyou for requesting me." She spoke bowing in respect as she kept watching of him. She listened to him speak of praises of her work and one of her many clients having worn her clothing. While she is humble and prideful within her own clothing and skills. She was not the only Honoka that made clothing. While her sole profession and want is fashion and making clothing, even her sister and her brothers know how and make clothing, even if they don't fully work only at the family business. Such things are wished for but optics also play a part in understanding and growth within clover.
"While I am always one for introducing such my creations and grace clover with my home and the styles of the east. I must decline. I do not feel like such things are of my own abilities in such a place. All these textiles have been abused and crying to be cleaned and used properly. As for a fitting, I would be unable to do so here as none of what i need is here for such things." She spoke in honest.
She lifted herself up as she tilted her head confused of his wording " There is nothing my clothing could do to bring forth your inspiration. I am sure your intentions are not for such things, your looks fit this shack. If you indeed wished for such services, it would be best to request one of my brothers as they can fit a style better suited for one such as yourself, as I am not one to handle male fittings."She Spoke in earnest.
Well a partial lie. She could fit males and make their outfits Unquie and fit their assetic. She could make any fabric dance on any figure. She could make the fabric sing in harmony with her clients. But only when in harmony. She wasn't in harmony. She was on edge and allowed her curiosity and confidence in her own skills to land her here. She needed to be careful and find a safe way to leave without trouble as the man's appearance alone made her want to cover her nose and run.
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] The man’s greeting spooked the girl and their interaction was a start. She thanked him for requesting her. He spoke of a client who had worn her clothing and how he had heard about her work. He even spoke of the great quality. After pitching a request to her, she declined, speaking of the things around the store and the tools that she would need. She also told the man that her clothing would not be able to bring out inspiration. The man’s look had resembled the run down store and those were the words she used to describe him. She tried to pass him off to one of her brothers which made his eyebrows furrow. He was not happy with what he was hearing but there was nothing that he could do since she had made her choice. He was not to harm her at all and so ultimately he failed Taiyo. “I understand. Sorry to have wasted your time.” He stepped aside and allowed her to leave his shop. [break][break] While the man believed that he had failed Taiyo, the plan was only a partial piece. His job was really to legitimately lure the girl away from the Royal Capital and bring her to the middle of nowhere. Taiyo had hired a bunch of henchmen to bring her to him but to make it simpler on them, he had to get her out of the noble region and an area that they would be able to better surround her and take her away without too much of a hassle. They would then bring her to him. That was the actual plan. Now that the first part had been done, it was time for the 2nd phase of the plan but first, she needed to leave the store and walk away.

Sumire raised an eyebrow watching him as she was so confused why she was requested here only for him to accept her reasoning? Was he thinking she was going to feel sorry for him? Sure she felt sorry for the fabric in this shop. She made a mental note to herself to send a servant or two to retrieve the fabric and all things tailoring. Those fabrics and tools were abandoned and mistreated. She couldn't allow such things to continue as there were some beautiful fabrics hidden under that dust and could be saved to be washed and given to the church as charity or maybe to the lily gate to assist their orphanage. They could easily make blankets and hand them out to the homeless in the winter, maybe assist in mending some clothing for the homeless. There were so many possibilities she could do for those bolts of fabric.
She stopped at the shop door as she sighed. " Go further to the sun, find your inspiration upon the highest of mountains. Clothing does not make the man a me."She spoke gently as parting words of wisdom. She headed out of the shop closing her eyes to allow them to adjust to the light outside as she sighed shaking her head. " What a waste of time. Though I suppose I will have time to make that fitting and see her expression with that dream dress." She spoke in optimism. She couldn't wait to see her hard work on her client, knowing the noble was going to be over the moon for the amount of time and work she put into the details.
She adjusted her satchel across her shoulders before straightening out her sleeves, ensuring her hair was up and still in place " Alright lets head home." She told herself turning to grab her broom only to find it missing. She didn't have a photographic memory but she was sure she had left it on the side of the building. Something wasn't adding up right as she scanned the area flaring up her mana into the ground around her as she looked for any and all signs of it or the area disturbed. There had to be more then just that odd request. She subtly slipped her hand under the flap of her satchel.
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] After having his request rejected, he simply accepted it and let her be. He knew this was not going to end very well for himself considering he failed his job to get the girl to come out and spend precious time fitting. While he may not get the big reward, he still had the incentive gift or so he thought. He apologized to Sumire for wasting her time and stepped aside to let her leave the shop. As she was leaving, she stopped by the door and gave him a suggestion on a way to get his inspiration back. He nodded and held his head down, leaving the store after she did. He walked around to go his way only to walk through a portal made by Lucia. The destination was a secluded area close to the Hidden Vermillion Estate. She then ported Taiyo and herself there. [break][break] The man apologized and got on his knees, begging for forgiveness. Taiyo looked down at the man without any emotion. He folded his arms and put a slight smirk on his face. ”While you believe that you failed, you did your job admirably. Luckily for you, I think you deserve that payment you were promised.” As the man started rejoicing, Taiyo opened his hand. ”Unfortunately, it’s not the kind you think it is. I will put you out of your misery.” Taiyo placed his hand on the man’s face and used his cosmic magic to develop solar mana in his palms. ”Thank you for your service.” [break][break] Meanwhile, Sumire searched for her broom but it wasn’t where she left it. In fact, it was gone. Taiyo had hired henchmen that would take care of the job he hired them for. They were to bring him Sumire, Alive and knocked out. She wasn’t to be harmed significantly though. If she resisted and they had to knock her out then so be it but nothing too major. Just as she slipped her hand under the flap of her satchel, she was surrounded by 4 people. These people were the henchmen that were hired. One of them was behind Sumire. He reached and grabbed her from behind, trying to restrict her movement and her ability to scream by covering her mouth with a cloth. There was a hypnotic sedative agent on the cloth which was to make the girl drowsy.

Sumire sighed before sensing the feeling of a portal being opened towards the back of the shop before closing just as quickly. She turned hearing the footsteps of four pairs soon accompanied by indeed four individuals. Luckily with her turn she ducked down under the grab as she moved backwards, adjusting her dress and sleeves. " To think such unsightly things are to go down on such a beautiful day." She commented attempting to keep calm allowing her eyes to darted from the four figures. She wasn't the most skilled in combat, but it was never assumed she couldn't hold her own against one person, maybe possibly two if she was lucky and could get them all infront of her. However more then two was something she wasn't the biggest fan of as she hated the thought of the outcome for herself, and her opponents as while she might not be the most skilled, she knew of people that were, here in clover and back home in the far east that could take on multiple enemies with ease.
She adjusted her footing as she turned towards one to her side lifting up her hand, flicking a small pouch filled with some needles. While she didn't want to lose any of her tools as they were who she was familiar with. She knew giving into such brutes were unsightly. She knew her tools in and out along with what damage they could do in the right situations. From her free hand came out pieces of hard felt like material she often used to draw sketches on when she was bored or had an inspiration on the go. she flicked them at another close to her as she kept track of each and every one of them. She needed to catch them off guard and her bag of tricks had more then just those in it. "Who sent you? Do you have no shame in your attempts to touch a lady without her permission?" She spoke reaching into her satchel, bringing out a fan as she opened it. She brought it to her face watching them closely.

[attr="class","luthorscroll"] Alerted to their presence, Sumire ducked and avoided being grabbed by one of the men. This didn’t faze them at all. They started moving around, surrounding her from 4 different angles. They weren’t surprised when she pulled out tools to use against them; however, they avoided her needles and the felt. She asked them who sent them and then she tried to guilt trip them but it wasn’t going to work. When she pulled out her fan, the grimoire of one of them hovered. He pointed his hand at Sumire, casting an intermediate fireball spell the size of a tennis ball aimed at her face where she put the fan up. While that was happening, the person adjacent to the fire caster, dropped down and did a sweeping leg kick. The idea was to overwhelm the girl. She couldn’t possibly take them all on at the same time especially when they knew how to work well together. [break][break] Since she wanted to use tools, then it was fair game for the henchmen to use their tools as well. They weren’t supposed to significantly harm her. That meant that they could still do a bit of damage. If it is too bad, well accidents happen. After all, she was fighting back which meant that they had to use more aggressive means. One of the henchmen took out a bat and forward. He was waiting to see if Sumire tried to dodge the leg kick and the fire spell and should she then he would move in and swing at her torso. The fourth henchman had his grimoire at the ready should Sumire evade all of the others. He however remained patient and waited to see what she would do before he made any moves.

Sumire watched the men avoid her tools. with ease. It was always a shot but it seemed they expected such, which to her was annoying as she sighed removing her satchel She didn't need it getting in the way or damages more then she was expecting to as it seemed they didn't care what she had to say. She tossed it gently aside figuring this shouldn't take too long as bandits were not always that smart right? they seemed coordinated enough, which told her there was no getting out of this one. Maybe if they were of different groups and had no idea of the others then maybe she could use that to her advantage. However it didn't seem these men were not familiar, with each other, which meant this was one group with a benefactor that knew of her trade and what she might be capable.
She tossed the fan at the fireball spell allowing herself to get her legs swept out from under her as a precaution. the fan wasn't going to survive the spell , nor be enough to dispel it. she went down with the leg sweep wincing some as she fell on to her back shaking her head back to reality. this was a bad situation for herself as she closed her eyes focusing her thoughts. The sooner she accepted this, the sooner she could tear who though handling the situation like this to shreds. but what if she was to never return home? Well in that logic she would be better off dead right? Wrong. From her logic of the situation, she was going to be fine. She also had faith in the magic knights and their abilities. She just hoped she wouldn't cause a lot of trouble for this misbehaving.
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] It would seem that the young woman was rather concerned about her satchel considering the way she gently threw it out of danger. Unfortunately for her, these guys didn’t care very much for the satchel and would destroy it should things get too difficult. After showcasing their ability to dodge her tools and their synergy, they surrounded her and prepared to take her down. As she shielded herself with a fan, one of them used a fireball spell which she threw the fan at. The fan was burnt to a crisp and continued on before fading away. She had been brought down by the guy adjacent to the fire casting henchman who swept kicked her. After she hit the floor, she winced and closed her eyes. Not taking any chances, the 4th henchman knelt down and stabbed her with a tranquilizing needle which would put her to sleep. [break][break] With Sumire knocked out, the 4th mage used a communication spell and contacted Lucia. Seeing how important the satchel was, he took it up and waited for Lucia to use her magic. She opened the portal for them, bringing them to her and Taiyo, closing the portal behind them. After they placed the sleeping Sumire down, Taiyo smirked. ”Thank you. You guys did well in completing the mission. Follow me for your reward.” He said, turning. He whispered a few words to Lucia and she nodded. She took Sumire to a room and placed her on a bed. The room had nothing except the bed and the windows were enchanted so that if Sumire were to try to look out all she would see is darkness. Lucia left the room and gave a command to the servants. They were to guard the room and should Sumire wake up then they would keep her inside until Taiyo was ready to see her. [break][break] While Lucia was tending to Taiyo’s orders, Taiyo brought the men to a secluded area. He took up a bag full of yul and tossed it to them. As they started rejoicing, he smirked. ”Good work deserves a good reward and as such you guys earned that.” Taiyo walked towards them. He took Sumire’s satchel from the henchman and smiled. ”Thank you for bringing the girl to me without much harm. Unfortunately, you all are liabilities and as such you have to go.” He created miniature suns in his hands and killed the four of them where they stood. He then cremated them, leaving nothing but dust, letting the winds take them wherever. They all shared the same fate as the man who got Sumire to come to him. With the loose ends tied up, Taiyo went about his business, knowing that it would take at least an hour before the tranquilization wore off. Taiyo took up the yul and walked back inside, placing the satchel in his personal quarters.

Sumire winced feeling a prick as her vision got blurry and hazy before passing out moments later.
It seemed to take a good hour or two before shifting some in a different room . Her body hurt from the fall as her kind worked it’s best to shake the grogginess as she slowly rose to a sitting position holding her head in her hands just trying to piece the day together. She remember starting the day excited for finish a clients order. Receiving an odd request that called for her to the forsaken reign. Should she had gone ? No cause it was suspicious but she went regusrdless with some safe guards of ensuring her father knew through a servant where she went and when to expect her back. She did have a fitting to do. She remember turning down the males request as she couldn’t do such a thing for someone who could bother looking better when presenting such things.
She remember heading out of the shop a tad bit dissappoint and confused only to find her broom missing then to get ambushed by 4 henchmen. Why would anyone need for to deal with her. She did her best but knew in the end she couldn’t. Do anything. She looked around the room feeling herself. She wasn’t bound or chained nor was she caged. The room was bare at best and it was cleaned looking towards the window with a dissappointed look. It was night time it seemed even though her body was saying different “I missed the fitting. I so wanted to see her face when she got that dress”she said softly to herself standing up raising her senses the best she could finding some resistance with the room “still not good enough”she said blankly to herself. She turned towards the door deciding to get this over with. She adjusted her sleeve over her hand trying the door to see if it was locked

[attr="class","luthorscroll"] Now that Sumire was there, he had other things to take care of. To start things off, he had to tend to paperwork which was the more boring part of the job of being the leader. Still, it needed to be done. He was hoping that one day, someone could manage the paperwork while he dealt with the other important factors of being a leader. Since he was going to be having a guest, he needed to make sure that she would be fed. He kept her satchel in his room and would use it as a bargaining chip if he needed to. With her, he needed to put systems in place and condition her so that she would understand her place was now with him. [break][break] After Sumire woke up, she found herself in an empty room but she wasn’t chained or caged. She looked out the window only to find darkness. When she moved to the door, she reached for the handle and turned the knob to see if the door was locked but it wasn’t. When the door opened, the 2 who guarded the door turned and one of them blocked her path. “I’m sorry, you are to wait here until further notice.” [break][break] The other one nodded and walked briskly, trying to find Taiyo. Once Taiyo was found, she relayed the message. ”Very well, bring her to me.” Having been given new orders, the servant nodded and moved quickly. She got back to the quarters in no time. “Our master will see you now. Right this way.” She led the way and brought Sumire to a room which seemed empty at first but Taiyo showed up right next to where Sumire stood. ”Hello there, princess.” Taiyo smirked. He looked her up and down and from what he could see, she didn’t suffer too much pain before being brought to him. Regardless, those who were hired to get her there were all disposed of, never to be heard from or seen again. That was just how things were these days. ”You must be hungry, after all, it’s been a long day. Worry not, my servants have prepared a meal.”

Sumire wasn’t too happy with all that she was having to deal with. She was in an unfamiliar place, brought here by those bandits because of some suspicious request. She would say curiousity hasn’t killed the cat but this situtation was more of one that was going to result in more than one punishment if and when she managed to get back home. She could only imagine the stress and panic that was going through her family’s heads. She wouldn’t be surprised if a search party had been sent out looking for her. She just hoped there was enough evidence left of fool play and not just a run away issue. She was going to be lucky to be allowed off the estate without an escort or strict supervision and even more refined routine. She shakes the thoughts from her head as she felt the door knob in her cloth covered hand turn before opening.
So many thoughts raced through her head of more confusion than anything else. If she was a captive, who in their right mind would capture someone like her and forget to lock the door? Were they thinking she was just going to remain and wait? Was it a trap? She raised her senses as high as she could sensing some of the various bodies around herself. She saw two guards move infront of the door blocking her path, stating she was to remain in the room till further notice. She was so confused but she wasn’t going to entirely fuse, after all, she had not been harmed or shown to otherwise even if her room could use more decoration in her opinion but then again she had a lot more then those opinions.
She closed the door heading back to the window looking out it as she was sure she was going to see the reason she was kept there soon enough. It didn’t take long before her door was opened to a servant coming in. Sumire turned to the servant as she nodded hiding her hands within her sleeves together in-front of her as she followed after the servant. Who was this master and why was this happening? She sighed as she followed the servant taking in every step sight and sound into her memory. Who knows it just might help her if she was to escape. She was lead to another seemingly empty room. She was unsure what was going on as she heard foot steps soon seeing a figure move to her out of the corner of her eye as she turned her head fully to see it was none other then Taiyo vermillion himself. She quickly looked away as the only really dirty part of herself was her back side thanks to his henchmen knocking her down and out. “I am not a princess, you know this.”she spoke gently to him.
Was she a prisoner or a guest? Either way she didn’t wish to be there, however it was better to entertain this idea. She needed to get home. “While I appreciate your servants time and efforts in preparing a meal for me. I must decline. I have already eaten and it would be rude of me to over eat. So apologizes” she spoke gently

[attr="class","luthorscroll"] Sumire was escorted to Taiyo who greeted her, calling her princess. She looked away admitting that she wasn’t a princess and that he knew that. ”That may be but to me, you are.” He smirked before speaking about Sumire being hungry and that a meal was prepared for her. She declined the offer and said that she had already eaten. ”Hmmm. I’m sorry, that won’t do.” He said softly. ”It has been quite a long time since you left home so no need to be modest and lie. Also, there is much to discuss.” [break][break] He took her arm and started walking towards the dining area, pulling her along. ”By the way, it’s much more rude to not respect your host who is providing you a meal.” Once they had gotten to the dining area, he released her and pulled a seat out for her to sit. ”Sit.” Taiyo waited for her to be seated. He thought about his next moves carefully. if she decided to sit then he would push the chair in for her. If she did not? Well, then she’d need to be punished. Even so, he waited to see what she would do. [break][break] Around this time, servants brought out two meals and placed them on the table. For Sumire, she got squid cut into tiny filets. This choice was intentional as Taiyo remembered her telling him her grandmother used to make it back in the East. For Taiyo, he was served beefsteak. After placing the meals down, they bowed and left the area to tend to their other duties. That left Taiyo relatively alone with Sumire in the room.
