[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, starting out her post with her customary bow and smile.]

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since my last "post", I feel like there's probably so many new people here now...

My name is Konoha... If you don't know me yet, I'm a jinba... Or a "centaur" if you want! ... I'm from Tateyama in Japan, but lots of people say I'm from the past or that jinba don't exist, so I guess that's not very helpful? Anyway-

[She twirls the camera around, giving a panoramic view of the bucolic Tsurugi Farmstead and a large palomino centaur working in one of the fields before coming back to her face after she accidentally focuses on her front hooves.]


My husband and I run Tsurugi Farmstead in the Greatmoon Groves, and we're hoping to hire a few more extra hands to help out during harvests and planting! Which, um... Happens way more than I'm used to in my world, so...

[No one point out why that might be...]

You don't have to have experience farming, but you do need to be willing to work hard. It's not easy to work the earth, you know! It wouldn't be an every day sort of job, just a few days here and there throughout the month, but we pay in chroma money at the end of each day. And on days you work, you can take home a small basket of the harvest for yourself, and I'll provide lunch for free!

I guess I should use this chance to say that we also deliver, if you're looking for fresh vegetables and rice for yourself or your own business! Or you can find us on weekends at the green market... Wait, I feel like I'm forgetting something... Oh!

[As if remembering, she pulls out a piece of paper from the bear pelt tied around her "waist", checking it with a squint. Right-]

Also, my neighbors said I should mention that everything we grow here is... "organic". Apparently that's popular!

Thank you for your time, everyone! If you want to sign up for work or you have any questions, I'll answer you here, okay? And if you know where I can find a priest or priestess to bless the rice fields before planting, let me know, please!

[ Huff. ]

That is talk of someone who is accepting less than perfect. [ Another huff. ]

Your worries and fears should not ever be felt. The troubles in your heart should not be felt because the person next to you is strong enough to banish all of them.

There should not even be a shadow present.

[lumberlady]

That sounds like a wonderful life...

[Never feeling fear? Worry? Sadness?]

But I don't think most people get to live like that. Even if Lord Sesshomaru got married... do you think your wife would just be perfectly happy every single day?

[fashionicon]

Hn.

[ This is him nodding as he believes that she should live such a wonderful life.

...? If he gets married?

Hm.

He goes quiet as he thinks about it. He opens his mouth and takes a deep breath. He has some thoughts on this and normally would give only one word. But this is Konoha and so he wants to make sure he is understood. ]

If such a thing would occur, I believe that she would be perfectly happy every day. It is my duty to destroy all things that would otherwise darken her vision. It is the duty that I, Sesshomaru, would do without hesitation or complaint.

I will be the only one to be troubled, for that is my duty, too. Her concerns would be only mild complaints within the day. A shadow that would not even be able to fully manifest. They will be for me to handle and think upon. The husband's duty is to shoulder these things so that their loved one is always happy.

Because choosing to be with me is an honor I would not spit upon, and a happiness I would protect with my life. That is how it is.

[lumberlady]

Right, but...

[Hmmm how to make this sink in]

Let's say that you need to go fight another demon, because... he's threatened your wife! And of course Lord Sesshomaru is strong, so you defeat him, but. While you're gone... your wife might worry about you! Or, maybe she doesn't worry, but maybe she feels lonely without you.

But you still have to go fight the other demon either way, there's no helping that... so there might be no helping that she feels sad for a little while! You can fix it when you get back, but...

[ .................... ]

That's irrational?

[lumberlady]

Wh- What part is irrational?

[fashionicon]

Being lonely without me.

[lumberlady]

If she loves you, she’d definitely be lonely without you! I know that for sure.

Maybe Lord Sesshomaru would marry the strong type of lady who doesn’t show it much, but that’s how you feel when you’re apart from someone you love.

[fashionicon]

[ Hn. ]

And you were lonely without Gonta?

[lumberlady]

Of course. Even though we have to spend time apart, and it’s normal to... I always feel lonely if it’s a while before I can see him again, that’s natural.

I was in the Circle and then Lunatia over a year without him... without anyone from my world.

And I was really lonely.

[ Seemingly changing topic, he says: ]

Threatening to kill him is a waste of my time.

He already knows what will happen if he fails, and if he doesn't, he's a fool.

[ He huffs. ]

[lumberlady]

[................

Good.]

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

[fashionicon]

Hmph.
