As mun gets ready for a vacation...

[venussoldier]

Pssssssssh...pretend all you want, you and I both know you're still gonna end up back here doing this, even while you're on vacation.

Which...y'know, is fine and all, I don't mind sticking around. But come on, you have to at least look around a little! You're gonna be in a whole different country! Show up here every once in a while if you want, but don't forget to take some time to explore too!

You're never gonna get an opportunity like this again! So don't waste it, all right?

[Have a very suspicious face looking at Mina]

I don't believe you.

[But she is very happy to see Mina]

[venussoldier]

N-no really, Rei-chan! I mean, why wouldn't I prefer to have such a wonderful and awesome friend like you with me? It would have been a lot less lonely with you here...

[That last part was pretty sincere.]

[hinomiko]

[She keeps her arms folded on her chest and lets out a loud sigh.]

Well there's nothing we can do really. You're halfway around the world now aren't you?

[This priestess is sensitive enough to know that the last part was certainly sincere]

[venussoldier]

Yeah...but only for a little while longer...

Hey! We should go shopping when I get back!

[hinomiko]

That's good to hear then. I trust you and your mundane had fun?

[She nods slowly and gives her a smile] Perhaps I can get my mundane to allow me to go to Juuban Shopping Center with you?

[venussoldier]

[She shrugs.] Eh, like I said, it would have been a lot more fun with someone else here. But it was all right, I guess...

Yeah, that be great!

[hinomiko]

[She immediately notices the shrug] What's wrong? Did something bad happen?

And I think it would be great as well.

[venussoldier]

Mm...well, sort of...my mun doesn't really wanna talk about it though. And it's not, like...bad bad, just. Kinda disappointing.

[hinomiko]

Well you can tell your mun both you and her can tell me anything. I'm not like our little rabbit who can't keep secrets. [That was supposed to be sarcasm]

[venussoldier]

[She laughs a little at that.] I know...and actually, my mun would talk about it if she could, but's not really about her, so she doesn't wanna talk about it since it's not technically her business. Y'know?

[hinomiko]

Oh, now I understand. Your mundane is very honorable for not talking about it. Tell her she has my respect. [She actually bows a little to show respect]

But I will pray that everything will be okay.

[venussoldier]

Heehee, you made my mun a little embarrassed, Rei-chan...but in a good way. She's flattered you think of her like that.

And she say thanks. Things seem to be...okay right now, but Ahe definitely appreciates it.

[hinomiko]

No, she should not be embarrassed. It's a good thing. It's hard to control your emotions and not allow it to get the best of you. Even I have a hard time containing the fire in my heart.... you know this. That's why she has my respect.

Then I shall continue to pray that it goes well for you and your mun.

[venussoldier]

[A smile.] Well, in any case she says thank you, Rei-chan. For all of that.

[hinomiko]

Your welcome. But my prayer can only do so much. You should visit a nearby temple there too! [She smiles as well]

[venussoldier]

Mm, well...we didn't see any temples around...but there were a few churches...

[That's kinda the same, right?]

[hinomiko]

Well, then you should go there and offer a prayer. I think it should be similar. Are there long steps towards the temple?

I'll pray extra hard for you too.

[venussoldier]

Ah yeah, my mun did that when she went. It is a little far, but she still managed to go.

Thanks, Rei-chan.

[hinomiko]

Oh? You're mun is an amazing person then. You're very lucky.

[She simply nods] It's the least I can do for you.

[venussoldier]

Haha, yeah, I am...although my mun doesn't think so. To her, she was just doing as her church requires of her by going once a week. She doesn't realize how much dedication that takes to keep doing that...

Stiill, it means a lot.

[hinomiko]

My mun knows a lot of people who say they are so devoted in their religion, and yet only steps inside a chapel, at most, once a month.

I'm glad it does.

[venussoldier]

Mm yeah...I dunno, I think my mun doesn't give herself enough credit sometimes.

[hinomiko]

Well she should! She deserves more credit!

[venussoldier]

That's what I try telling her.

[hinomiko]

Maybe we need to figure a way to make her understand? [Never taking no for an answer]
