Oboro-Hinoka Halloween Scramble

Oboro-Hinoka Halloween Scramble

NOTE: Everytime Hinoka panics here, it’s because she sees Oboro’s demon face. Oboro is being a smug little bastard here and I love it.

Part 1:

Oboro:
Lady Hinoka!

Hinoka:
Uwaaahhhhhhhh!
I-it’s a demon!
O-oh, it’s just you Oboro. I didn’t recognize you in the dark.

Oboro:
I apologize, Lady Hinoka
It’s been a rather rough battle, and I often turn to this facial expression in order to relieve some stress. It’s a reflex.

Hinoka:
B-but it does the opposite effect to people who see it!
I thought my life was flashing before my eyes!

Oboro:
Uh…
If I may ask, Lady Hinoka,…
But you seem rather perturbed. What is worrying you right now?

Hinoka:
Oh, uh…
I-it kind of worries me that I don’t really know how to talk to you.
Y-you see, I’d like to ask for your advice for something, but I don’t know how…

Oboro:
A-ah, is that so…?

Hinoka:
Oh no, I-I’m sorry!
I did not mean to say that in a bad way!
The thing is, I don’t know how to speak with retainers that are not mine for advice since you guys are often restrained by rules of etiquette!

Oboro:
Ah, speaking with another lord’s retainers for advice…
Well, it may seem impossible at first glance, but if you would like to try it out
By all means, please ask me anything you would like

Hinoka:
Ah…
Thank you for your kindness. It relieves me to hear that

Oboro:
I will be willing to be your advisor at any time!
Which is why I will always greet you with this face!

Hinoka:
Uwaaahhhh!!!!
I told you to stop making that face!!!!

Oboro:
Haha, I’m sorry, Lady Hinoka
I thought it would be nice to get a few laughs out of you

Hinoka:
O-of course I won’t laugh at that!
Enough! Time to return to battle!

Oboro:
Hehe, yes, my lady
I’m apologize hehe…


Part 2:
Hinoka:
Ah, Oboro, regarding that request I had a while back
Would you be willing to consult me on this?

Oboro:
Of course!
What is it that you would like for me to help you with?

Hinoka:
I-I’d like to know about your expressions…
Specifically, that face you made at me a few minutes ago

Oboro:
Oh, you mean this demon face?

Hinoka:
Uwwaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Y-yes, t-that one!
T-the one that always causes me to panic!
I worry that my fortitude and strength become questionable when I see that face.

Oboro:
E-eh, what do you mean?

Hinoka:
As you know, I take more care of my retainers than they do for me, so I do not ask them for advice very often, and I don’t know how to treat them aside from being retainers since I have known them my entire life as such.
Because of this, I don’t know if I truly have the strength to stand up to harder tasks ahead if your face sends me flying away

Oboro:
I-it was just a joke, so please don’t worry…

Hinoka:
I understand.
If I learn how to make a similar expression, I feel that I will be unstoppable on the battlefield. I can become stronger!
So please tell me, how do I make the demon face?

Oboro:
……
Forgive me for saying this.
But I think you should give up on that goal

Hinoka:
B-but why?

Oboro:
Lady Hinoka is a member of the royal family
Even if this face does give you strength, it would not be befitting of a member of the royal family.

Hinoka:
Oboro…

Oboro:
How about this then?
You become my temporary master for a bit.

Hinoka:
T-temporary master?

Oboro:
Yes
Lke how Takumi is to me and Hinata
It would be fine if I did so for a short time.
And if it doesn’t work out, or you do not like a vassal with my sort of personality
We can stop and just be friends like normal people
With that, we can just do the devil face towards each other
Without worrying about the social hierarchy involved

Hinoka:
I see…so both options are worth a try
I-it’s worth a try.

Oboro:
Yes, I can ignore social ranking if it works better for you.

Hinoka:
I’m sorry…
This must be all very annoying to you…

Oboro:
Don’t be ridiculous
I-I’ve also been admiring Hinoka from a distance
You have the reputation as the Lightning Princess because of your speed
And you have the courage and fortitude to back it up
So to become friends with one another…
It makes me very happy!

Hinoka:
I-I’m really happy to hear such words from you
Also, I’m happy to hear such words from a retainer who is not afraid to say such words as my first friend.

Oboro:
So long as you want to keep things this way, I will be content
But once we get used to this new relationship, I have a tiny favor to ask of you, Hinoka.

Hinoka:
Oh, of course!
What is is?

Oboro:
I want to make a kimono for Hinoka
The perfect kimono for the Lightning Princess!

Hinoka:
W-what?!

Oboro:
I can prepare things for everything in order to make these clothes.
Your favorite preferences will be included!

Hinoka:
B-but that seems….
T-to dress like a normal girly princess would be…

Oboro:
If that doesn’t work for you, I can even make a war uniform for you as well!

Hinoka:
Oh, that sounds much better
I’d love to hear your opinions on that as well!

Oboro:
Really? That makes me so happy!
I’ll be sure to see that it brings a smile to your face.
I don’t know how long or when we will be able to do this
But I’m happy to call myself your friend.

Hinoka:
I feel the same way as well!
I will be sure to stop by and meet with you in the future!
