For some reason, you had been frequently coming to the base of her tower to read. Mafuyu was not sure how you managed to get that far repeatedly, just to have a nice spot to read. Were you aware of her existence? People would kill to be where you were, to be the knight in shining armor and save her from the tower. Yet, you read.

Her mother had locked her in there, deciding that she should focus on her studies and be kept away from potential suitors. She complied, she always did.

Mafuyu decided that you were a knight in your way, you made her feel something, something she did not know yet. You saved her from boring days spent staring at books and her empty aquarium. It was something nice to look at while she took a quick break. Maybe she would try to befriend you?

"What are you doing here?"
