The city of Izakaya is truly a sight for sore eyes. As he walked the shiny pavement, dozens of cherry blossom leaves fluttered around Tsutomu—gently brushing against his face and body before falling to the ground. He had never seen a tree like this before; it was far more beautiful and full of life than the trees he was accustomed to seeing back home. "So pretty!" Tsutomu stated as he used his hand to stroke the bark of the tree.
The young man had just arrived at Izakaya and was still quite a distance from his destination, the Flower Kingdom known as Fiore. Though he knew he wasn't in the right state to go tonight, the thought of his sick mother back home made him want to move quickly. He followed the passageway he had fallen into till it ended at the city square. "Woah—"
"Is that a dragon?!"
A group of dancers blitzed by, manipulating a long, flexible, massive puppet of a dragon. It seemed they were using fire magic to make it breathe fire and wind magic to help it move through the air. "That was insane!!" he shouted. Tsutomu looked around him and saw groups of people drinking and dancing. And his nose was drawn to the aromas emanating from other stores. "Okay," he said, his face showing signs of hunger, "a day won't hurt."
