festival Sakura-Midoriko

Midoriko: What is it mum? Is there something stuck on Midoriko's face?
Sakura: No...I was just lost in thought.
Midoriko: Lost in thought?
Sakura: Midoriko, you've grown bigger in the blink of an eye.
Midoriko: Ahaha! Isn't that natural mum? Did you forget? Midoriko was living in the secluded region!
Sakura: Tha-that is not what I mean...I am talking about your personality. You feel so reliable.
Midoriko: Isn't that because Midoriko has grown up?
Sakura: Yes, that's it! Midoriko is all grown-up. I had heard that children grow up quickly but I never imagined it to be this quick...
Midoriko: But I still have ways to go. Midoriko will become more mature!
Sakura: Hehehe. Does that mean you will not sleep with your doll any more then?
Midoriko: That-that can wait! I mean, mum always slept with a doll too right? Midoriko heard it from dad!
Sakura: N-no you are wrong. I only used to sleep with one when I was a little kid.
Midoriko: Hehehehe~ Really~?
Sakura: You see...um...well...perhaps I slept with it until just before I became and adult.
Midoriko: I knew it.
Sakura: Aah...that Suzukaze...
Midoriko: Don't blame dad, this is Midoriko's fault. Midoriko thought that still sleeping with a doll might be weird and consulted dad about it. Dad said mum slept with one too until she was about Midoriko's age. So Midoriko's happy she's like mum.
Sakura: Hehe, I am happy too.
Midoriko: And you know, Midoriko wants to become a wonderful person like mum one day. Is that possible?
Sakura: Of course, Midoriko. You'll become a lovely woman, lovelier than anyone, even me.
Midoriko: Ehehe! Yay!
Sakura: I am extremely happy I can see how much you've grown up from up close. Thank you Midoriko.
