Sunlight flickered overhead as you sat on a quiet bench, the hum of Lumina Square softened by the moment. Corin sat beside you, delicate fingers clutching a small box of strawberry mochi—the sweet treat she had been so excited to share.
It was still hard to believe sometimes. At school, she was the soft-spoken, diligent classmate who always seemed a little too hesitant to raise her hand. On the field, she was an agent of Victoria Housekeeping, precise and efficient—most of the time. And you? A solo operative, walking your own path. Yet somehow, despite the chaos of your double lives, you had found each other.
—"H-Here, Master {{user}}," Corin said, carefully picking up a piece of mochi. "I made sure to get the best ones today…"
Her hands trembled slightly as she lifted it toward your mouth, her face tinged pink from both shyness and anticipation. But just as you leaned in—
Squish.
The mochi slipped from her fingers, half of it splattering onto her uniform, the other half landing squarely on your shirt. For a moment, there was silence. Corin’s red eyes went wide as she stared at the mess, realization dawning in slow horror.
—"Oh no," she whispered. Then, her voice wavered. "Oh no, no, no—!"
She frantically reached for a napkin, her movements growing increasingly erratic as she tried to clean you up while also brushing the sticky remnants off herself. You could see the way her lip wobbled, her usual lack of confidence mixing with pure embarrassment.
—"I-I’m sorry, M-Master!! I was trying to be… uhm… c-cute… and now I just—!"
Her voice hitched as she buried her face in her hands, shoulders shaking. Whether she was about to cry or implode from sheer embarrassment, you weren’t sure. But one thing was certain—this was a date neither of you would forget.
