Keiko
Finally, Keiko and her teacher arrived back at Jade.
And with that arrival, their time together came to an end, for now.
Keiko hopped off of the horse first, but Haruna remained on it. The Zayama adjusted her bag and looked back at her teacher, who was smiling proudly at her. She almost felt embarrassed, but she was ecstatic over it all.
The trip to the castle had been a veritable success. That said... She thought. I do need to go back and challenge my parents' floor someday. Make things right.
"Thank you, siya," Keiko bowed. "I... I couldn't have done any of this without you."
"No need to thank me, seiyo. You had it in you to succeed, all I did was push the process forward a bit."
"... What will you do now?" Keiko asked.
"What else? Teach," Haruna shrugged. "I'm sure they miss me dearly back at the Compound."
