[She pulled back from the hug, and gave him a smile.]

You're a real good man aren't you, Sou~ji~?

[Yes, she likes saying his name in a slightly sing-song sort of way. Especially now that he seems to want to change topics, best to start off in a positive way, yes?]

Let's see, about my world...

[She's pensive for a moment.]

I think it might be more or less the same as yours, only that obviously women are the ones that use swords and fight wars. We also had the political obstacles that we had to overcome and achieve a name for ourselves after everything.

Though one thing that always stood out from that other place that I was... and this place too, is the architecture - it's all different. The older castles are more like large, tall spires that rose up to the sky. They were all different colors too.

Oda Nobunaga's castle in Owari used to be this one large, red structure that would pierce enemies with a pang of fear, or so they said. Everything in the new Japan I encountered was completely different, with big buildings, and while they reached the sky as well, it just wasn't the same.

Doesn't mean it wasn't an interesting place, though!

[She didn't have the heart to tell him about her decision along with Toshi and her Souji, but it was different.]
