[Happiness Just around the Bend] Rice Shower
"U-um... How about we enter through separate entrances and then meet up inside?"
The two part ways and step into the welcoming, sweetly fragrant labyrinth of roses.
...But that was several tens of minutes ago.
The young girl jogs, now slightly out of breath.
She keeps searching and searching, but she can't find what she seeks.
And yet...
(Come on! I can do it! I know I can! I'll be the first to find you...)
(Just like when you found me!)
(I'm going to find you, I promise!)
Just as she turns the corner, her face flushes with joy and breaks into a smile.
"See! I found you!"
