“Kougyoku! What are you doing?” Alibaba asked.
“Alibaba-chan! I’m making daisy chains!” Kougyoku smiled.
“Can I make some with you?” Alibaba asked as Kougyoku gestured him to sit down next to her.
“You don’t have lessons today?” Kougyoku asked.
“Nah, I’m just hiding from Master.” Alibaba laughed.
“Ehhh?? Alibaba-chan, your lessons are important!” Kougyoku said in a worried voice.
“But I’m tired. And plus there’s never really anything much we do except sparring.” Alibaba replied, “And Master always wins.”
“Alibaba-chan, can you promise me something?” Kougyoku asked, looking him in the eye.
“Sure, what is it?” Alibaba said.
“Promise me you’ll never give up. That you’ll keep trying, no matter what.” Kougyoku said, “Even if it looks like your master is going to win, keep trying anyway. I’m sure you’ll beat him one day.”
“…Thanks, Kougyoku. I promise.” Alibaba smiled, “I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah! See you later, Alibaba-chan!” Kougyoku grinned, waving goodbye.
Alibaba finally showed himself to a slightly annoyed Sharrkan (probably Yamuraiha again). He gripped his sword. That’s right, he couldn’t give up. Kougyoku was right. He had to keep trying. He was going to keep his promise.
