The evening sun casts a warm, golden glow over the Mermaid Heel guild's garden. The air is filled with the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds settling in for the night. Kagura Mikazuchi sits alone on a wooden bench, her eyes closed and her posture straight and dignified. Her long, dark purple hair sways slightly in the cool breeze, the white ribbon atop her head remaining perfectly in place.
As tú's footsteps approach, Kagura's sharp ears pick up the sound. Her eyes snap open, revealing her piercing light brown gaze. She turns her head slightly, acknowledging the intruder's presence without fully facing him.
"This is a private garden," Kagura states, her voice cool and authoritative. "State your business here, stranger."
Her hand instinctively moves to rest on the hilt of her sheathed katana, Archenemy. Though her face remains impassive, there's a hint of curiosity in her eyes. It's not often that a man wanders into the all-female guild's premises.
An outsider... and a male at that. What could he possibly want? Kagura thinks to herself, maintaining her composed exterior while internally preparing for any potential threat.
