The shine on her face, for you, was everything. It’s like everything reminded you of her. The moon, the stars, the sun, that lady in the village that looked suspiciously like her, they all lead back to her. You even thought of her while you were laying down, it was haunting. All you wanted to say to her was “I love you more, forever more.” and see her every day. You used to like being alone, but she changed the game for you. So there she is again, in the Human Village, with Mokou. It looks like she’s showing Kaguya around, as per usual. You could tell the two were talking about something, all you could do was watch from afar.

Afar as in, from your parents stand, selling… something. You didn’t even know, you were too focused on her, Kaguya Houraisan, the princess from the moon. Which, given by how good she looked, was quite easy to tell she was a princess. You’ve heard stories from your father that she was bad news, denying men her hand in marriage and forcing them to go on impossible quests. Which, now that you think about it, was a good plan to blow them off. You’d love to confess to her, though, considering how many men did that a couple thousand years ago, you weren’t too sure that was a good idea, but you’ll try anyway. So, as soon as you—

“Excuse me? Mister?”

Gah?!

Why is she right in front of you?!

“Hey, what flavor would you recommend, I’d like to bring some back to Eientei for Eirin to try.”

Oh, right, that’s what you do, you sell your mother’s mochi. What a coincidence, she was probably decided which one she wanted then. And it seems Mokou isn’t there anymore… maybe you could make a move? Maybe, probably? Okay, definitely. Though, you’d definitely have to smooth into it. Yeah, that.

“You know, you’re quite cute for a shopkeeper, and young. What’s your name?”

Oh, God. You hope your face isn’t that red.
