Sweets Parade

Then Ririchiyo went to the desk and took the letter from it. “It’s perfect, don’t worry”, - she said to herself, going closer to Roromiya. Next she handed the envelope to the pink-haired: “Okay, I’ve done. I hope you’re happy?”

She felt relieved when she saw the door open, where it revealed her friend from within. Seeing the ravenette's usual welcoming reaction, she went in without a single peep heard. She took out her enveloped letter and the treat, then glanced at the time- it was getting late, and they had school tomorrow too. "Okay..."

Sighed heavily, Ririchiyo a couple of lines of unfinished: “Please, try to support me as possible, ok? I think you’re the best person who can help me to change.

With the best wishes to you,

Shirakiin Ririchiyo.”

Took a view of the letter again, she nodded to herself and put it to the envelope, and when she was ready to seal it, she lit up the idea. No one knew that Ririchiyo had a whole album, where she kept the dried flowers. Drying them with particular technology, the flowers do not lose the smell. The youkai stood up and when to the bookcase and took the album, opened it and thought. With which smell she wanted Karuta to remember the letter? Ririchiyo closed her eyes for a minute and tried to imagine. “Magnolia!” - she exclaimed suddenly and took out the selected flower. Put the album on the spot, Ririchiyo carefully moved the flower in the palms to the desk and finally breathed its fragrance.

“Perfect.” - she said confidently, putting it in the envelope. 

Arriving at the destined floor, Karuta took a step out and walked to where the petite ravenette lived. Thankfully, she remembered where to head, so that was a relief. Walking down the long, silent hallway, she wondered if she would be disturbing the ravenette with her arrival. At least she had something to make up for that... Or at least she thought so. The pinkette also noticed how there wasn't anyone around. Although the Ayakashi-kan didn't have many residents staying in, she still wondered where everyone was. Eventually, she found herself in front of the door. Hesitating for a moment, she lightly knocked on the door and said, "Chiyo-chan?..."

“Aaaaaarrgghhh—!!” - shouted the purplette, clutching her head and leaned back in the chair. - “I’m thinking too much!!”

After these little hysteria, she quickly took the pen and so quickly started to write:

“Roromiya-san,

I’m writting to you with a little wish to express to you my feelings and thoughts about our friendship. Only on the paper I can admit how close you are to me, and that I can call you a friend.”

Then she stopped and took a view of these words: “It seems like I want to say goodbye!..” Sighed, she decided to continue:

“We all have some oddities, don’t we? And I think that it was formed in childhood, for every youkai this period of life was the most difficult. And I’m sure that if we will know the reasons of the oddities of our characters, we can communicate better. In fact, we are opposites, though people talk that opposites attract to each other as in physics: during the process of electrification negatively charged body is attracted to the body with a positive charge. So we are, and you are with a positive charge, I guess.”

Ririchiyo put the pen on the table and raised her gaze to the window. Snowflakes…

She weared the dress more free and comfortable for actions and started to cook. To some extent, this was her hobby because she really liked to make coffee with recipe, learn the history of its discovery, find the new kinds and methods of cooking. In this she was like Karuta - the ace.

“I’m ready.”

Dear Chiyo-chan, 

How are you?... I hope that you're doing well. I'm doing well, too... Today I made some chocolate chip cookies, and they're delicious... I'll give you some when we meet. 

The pinkette paused there, it looked more like a journal entry than a letter. Still, she continued on. 

I want to say... Thank you for being my friend. You're really nice and fun to be with... I already liked you when I first saw you because my five senses told me so... Or maybe it was my organs?... Because of Chiyo-chan and everyone else, I don't feel lonely anymore and that makes me happy. Even though we may be different, I hope that we can continue to be friends for a long time... 

Thank you. 

From, Karuta Roromiya

This seemed good enough. Ah! She forgot to add one more thing.

P.S: I'll buy you some sweets too...

Now it seemed complete to her, and all she needed to do now was to send this letter to her. Glancing at the clock, she wondered if the petite ravenette was at her room by now. 

"No?..."
