Setsuna: Lady Hinoka, your tea…
Hinoka: Oh! Thank you, Setsuna.
Hinoka: *gulp*
Hinoka: … Wow, this is actually really good! Have you been practicing on your own time?
Setsuna: Yes, I’ve been brewing tea when I have a free moment.
Setsuna: I thought it would be a good way to repay you for how well you’ve treated me…
Hinoka: Don’t worry about repaying me. I just try to be a good liege.
Setsuna: It’s okay, milady. I know I can be a burden sometimes.
Setsuna: In addition to my forgetfulness, I get caught in traps and need to be rescued…
Setsuna: I can’t change that, so I have to become more useful to you in other ways.
Hinoka: Setsuna… your perseverance is inspiring, you know that?
Setsuna: Lady Hinoka…
Hinoka: I want you to know you’re not a burden to me.
Hinoka: True, sometimes your absentmindedness can be inconvenient…
Hinoka: But you always work so hard to improve yourself when that happens.
Hinoka: Even if you have trouble, how could I fault you when you’ve done so much?
Setsuna: Thank you, milady…
Hinoka: Also, to be honest… it’s kind of fun rescuing you all the time.
Setsuna: Heehee… It’s fun being rescued, too.
Hinoka: I shouldn’t be surprised.
Setsuna: I mean, doesn’t every noble girl dream of being rescued by a handsome princess?
Hinoka: I… think it’s typically a prince.
Setsuna: Oh. I thought it was a princess.
Hinoka: Yes, it— S-Sorry, could we back up for a second?!
Hinoka: You really find me… "handsome?"
Setsuna: Yes. The most out of everyone in the army, I think.
Setsuna: And you’re so beautiful, too, and you’re also really cute…
Setsuna: And I know you’re strong from all the times you’ve carried me home…
Hinoka: Th-That’s a bit much! Honestly, saying things like that…
Hinoka: It almost sounds like you have feelings for me.
Setsuna: … Oh. That too.
Hinoka: Wh-what?!
Setsuna: Is that weird?
Hinoka: N-no! Of course not! It's a bit sudden, maybe, but…
Hinoka: If it is, I guess we’re both weird.
Setsuna: … You have feelings for yourself, too?
Hinoka: No, why would… Setsuna, listen to me.
Hinoka: War has terrible effects on people. Nobody here is immune to it.
Hinoka: Sometimes, I just want to charge off and defeat the enemy on my own.
Hinoka: But when I think of you, I feel a rare sense of calm.
Hinoka: And in the future, I’m going to need that kind of influence.
Hinoka: Remember when you said that together, we can do anything?
Setsuna: Yes… And I still believe that…
Hinoka: Then… if we were to marry, wouldn’t we become even more capable?
Setsuna: Even if that weren’t true… I’d always accept your proposal, milady.
Hinoka: Then it’s settled! When the war is over, we’ll have a grand royal wedding!
Hinoka: But first, we need to tell the others. Care to join me?
Setsuna: Heehee. Of course, Lady Hinoka.
