A royal maid came to the waiting room and greeted them: "Welcome to the mansion adventures!"
Nanime strikes aside her assistant's dragger and goes towards Kiyoshi. Sakura saw that and try to catch it with her lightning-speed skill, moments before the dragger hit Kiyoshi. The dragger stood only 3 feet from Kiyoshi. Moments before Sakura catches it, a weapon comes from nowhere and strikes it in another direction. The weapon returns back to its owner Nanime.
Throughout this entire time, Kiyoshi was talking with the maid.
Kiyoshi looked back at all the things that happened behind him.
Nanime ran at them and grabbed the dragger that was stabbing the ground. she turned to Sakura and said, "You fool, did you know you could lose your finger if you tried to catch it?".
This is a rank SS weapon and coming at that speed. A B ranker as you think about it is foolishness.
Sakura:" Sorry lady Nanime"
Nanime: "It's OK, Sakura"
Sakura: "How come you know my name?"
"Oh, your team is very known around Ramiya for its lightning ripper and healing sword. Few people in the world receive a B on their first test. In addition, you have a powerful healer on your side. Nowadays, healers are rare and they are all weak as ordinary humans, but you have a fighting healer. Tomorrow, would you like to train with me?"
Sakura: "Thank you for your praise my lady and how can I deny training with the dark moon of the forest Nanime Elfior, the gang leader of the Yamogi Gang and also the first princess of Elfior? "
Nanime: "See you both tomorrow"
Kiyoshi: "Thank you, my lady"
Maid: "These are your rooms."
Kiyoshi: "Ummm..., miss, we need only one room."
Sakura was blushing behind.
Maid: "Is that so you both shall take this room? This is on the top of this tree you can see the beauty of the city at night."
Kiyoshi: "Thank you miss"
Maid: "You have a meeting with the Lord early morning. After that, training with the Nanime princess, then I am taking my leave."
"you perv, why did you have to tell the room such a thing?" Sakura shouted.
Kiyoshi: "Then what shall I say? Miss lighting rapper is afraid of the dark "
Sakura: "That's only when I'm sleeping, not at all times."
Kiyoshi: "What about that Nanime girl? She talks like you own her. How did she know our title? And why call her a princess? She's just the Lord's daughter. Also, how come we are famous?"
Sakura: "There is a magic item that will show the title of Adventures, I have one too, she kind of uh thinks men are below her, we are famous because of 60 successful missions with no injury (because Kiyoshi will heal them right away) there is very rare to have 2 member team to complete their first 60 quests also that all B rank quest without any injury and you can fight even though you are a healer. We call her Princess because she was a princess of the elf kingdom. Around 500 years ago there was a civil war in the Elf kingdom (neighbouring kingdom) and the twin brothers fought for the throne. The second brother loses the fight and is banished from the country. The king of Yavior allowed them to stay there and keep their family name and the nobility. Nanime is a prinses of the Elf kingdom."
Kiyoshi: "And how did you know about this all?"
Sakura: "It's from the barman."
Kiyoshi: "How much money have you spent?"
Sakura: "Oo it was free for me, just a few sweet talks."
Kiyoshi: "Hmmm."
after some hours(night)
They stood together at the arched window of their treetop chamber, the entire elven city spread below them like scattered jewels. Countless yellow magic stones pulsed warmly from the branches and pathways, their glow blending with the silver moonlight to paint the world in dreamlike hues.
"Beautiful..." Kiyoshi murmured, his eyes reflecting the golden lights.
Sakura nodded, her fingers brushing against his. "More beautiful than I imagined."
From this height among the ancient trees, they could see fireflies rising like living stars from the canopy below. One particularly bold firefly drifted through the open window, its golden light dancing around them.
Kiyoshi's breath caught as the light illuminated Sakura - her white dress shimmering with gold bead embroidery, the green clip in her hair catching the light like a rare gem. "You look... like an elf goddess," he whispered.
The firefly moved to Kiyoshi, and Sakura's eyes softened as she studied his face. "Why do you look so good today?" she asked, her voice barely audible.
The world narrowed to this space between them - the scent of night-blooming flowers drifting through the window, the distant hum of the city below. Sakura slowly reached up, her fingers trembling slightly as they touched his face.
"You're warm," she murmured.
Kiyoshi leaned into her touch. "Sakura..."
The firefly's light intensified as if blessing this moment, casting their intertwined shadows against the wall as they leaned closer, the golden moon shining like the sun behind them.
