*insert training montage here?*

*Kazumi can be found today near the necessities, wearing a kendo-gi and holding a bokken at ready*

*compared to people with super powers, the movements she's going through aren't particularly impressive. They're just exercises to keep herself in top form... though, those intimately familiar with normal swordplay can tell that she has a ways to go to master the blade*

*still, she's doing her best... and killing time as well.*

*watch? Interrupt? Challenge to a duel? Throw stuff at her?*

*she slips up a bit, though not enough to make her faceplant or anything like that*

Huh? I-is it?

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

When I was small, I used to watch Secchan do the same thing.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Ah...

... I used to train often when I was younger, though I kind of uh... slacked off for awhile until fairly recently.

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

Wow. How long have you practiced, then?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Before I showed up here... about three or four months? Ahaha... n-not that much, really...

I'm not sure how long ago it was when I stopped training when I was younger but... I think I had about two or three years of training before I stopped?

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. You must be decent, at least.

Secchan practiced since she was small, without stopping. [She makes a >:Y face]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm okay. In retrospect, I really wish I'd kept it up longer.

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with that.

I know it's tough knowing there's someone waiting for you at home...but I wonder if there's a way to help our love while we're lost here.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Help our love...? *for a second she thought she meant between her and Konoka, but that didn't make sense considering what she said just before that-*

What do you mean?

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

Well, from what I discovered last time, love builds this world, and apparently the queen wants us to match up with people.

But the ones we care about most are not here... so how do we build love without our ah... significant others here?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah... I remember when you were talking about that...

... t... that's a good question...

*nevermind the fact that she's developing feelings for a certain other resident of the Gardens, since monogamy wasn't exactly one of Kazumi's highest priorities...*

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

[Konoka's long since known that Negi-kun's doomed if he thinks of monogamy... but what about herself, and what would Setsuna think of it?]

I dunno. I want to stay faithful to Secchan at heart. And that can still be done. But to reach her, will I have to make room for one more?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... w-well... even with the whole romantic theme of this place, there's no way of telling if that even has anything to do with getting home.

It's like one of those mystery games I was playing... it seems like the obvious answer at first, but it could be something else?

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I still have to figure it out.

But it's a start.

2/2

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

...and romance is really amazing~!

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

E-eheh... I won't argue against that...

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

I think romance can help us, even if it's not the key to getting home, it will certainly help us survive here!

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... y-you might have a point...

...

Then again, romance might not do anything at all here except the normal romancey stuff... though, that's not bad, either...

[konoka-chan.livejournal.com]

Muuuu...

Well, I'll figure something out!

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Alright...

...

... I-I'm not even sure how to start proving or disproving something like that. It's not like my world has love love cannons, so I don't have any experience with that kind of thing...
