Mistaken for a Bride

[Seething Town]

Akira: Isn't this a wonderful festival, Rustica? The girls in their bridal costumes seem like they’re having fun too.

Rustica: Indeed, it’s a truly magnificent sight. The pure white dresses, the lovely flower ornaments…

Rustica: Without a doubt, my bride is here.

Akira: (How could I forget!? Knowing Rustica, all these costumed brides are bound to cause a misunderstanding)

Akira: (It’d be an issue if he started capturing people…)

Rustica: My beloved bride, you’ll be in my birdcage soon…

Akira: Rustica! There are some delicious looking drinks in that shop over there. Why not hurry up and check them out!?

Rustica: Ah, so this is what they call flower wine? It has a marvelous fragrance.

Shopkeep: Indeed it does. Is this your first time coming to the Flower Festival? This wine is our local specialty.

Akira: Wow, it really does smell like flowers!

Rustica: To produce such a splendid drink, surely you must be my bride.

Akira: H- hold on a minute, Rustica! That’s the shopkeeper!?

Rustica: Oh. It seems I was mistaken once again. Thank you for telling me, Master Sage.

Akira: (At this rate, anyone he lays his eyes on is in danger. In that case…)

Akira: Rustica! Only look at me from now on!

Rustica: …

Akira: (D- did it work?)

Rustica: My, how selfishly sweet of you. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, my beloved bride.

Akira: Huh? Rustica?

Rustica: May we never be parted again, my little bird.

Akira: W- wait! You’ve got the wrong person!
