A few hours later, around when the sun was setting, we gathered in the main hall.

There were thirteen members of the main house and three guests, bringing the total up to sixteen. Ai Fa didn’t arrive until right before it was time to begin, but fortunately, we didn’t end up needing to wait for anyone.

Normally, Rimee Ruu would have been seated the furthest down in the lineup, but today she was at the head of the group between the clan head and the elder. As a result, we guests were seated pretty far away, but she had met up with Ai Fa in the morning and had gotten to play with Tara for a while shortly before this, so she looked incredibly happy nonetheless.

“Today, we welcome the two members of the Fa clan and Tara from the Daleim lands as our guests... Normally, birthdays are to be celebrated with family alone, but the three of you are precious friends to our youngest daughter Rimee, and I hope that you will grant her your blessings as we do,” Donda Ruu stated with a solemn look on his face, and we all nodded back. The clan head then slowly turned to face his daughter. “Let us celebrate Rimee living a healthy year, and pray that her next year goes much the same.”

He then placed a bright red mizora flower in Rimee Ruu’s hair with his large hand.

The young girl looked up at her father’s face with a big smile. “Thanks! As a member of the main Ruu house, I’ll live a life that won’t bring any shame to the mother forest!” she stated, speaking with even more conviction than Lala Ruu had back at her birthday party.

Donda Ruu retained his perfectly solemn expression as he nodded and replied, “Of course.”

After that, Granny Jiba, Jiza Ruu, Darmu Ruu, and Ludo Ruu all offered Rimee Ruu flowers one by one, all of which were a brilliant red. I remembered her also wearing a red flower as an accessory at celebratory banquets, so I had made sure to pick one of the same color from the forest.

Mia Lea Ruu, Granny Tito Min, Jiza Ruu’s wife Sati Lea Ruu and his young son Kota Ruu, Vina Ruu, Reina Ruu, and Lala Ruu all gifted their flowers next. And then, it was finally time for us guests. We each said a few congratulatory words and offered her our flowers, starting with Ai Fa, and then me, and Tara last. But when Tara stepped forward, she fidgeted as she stared at Rimee Ruu.

“You like red flowers, Rimee Ruu? But I got you a white one...”

“I’m just happy to have you here!” Rimee Ruu replied, her eyes narrowing as she smiled happily. Tara gave a relaxed smile back, then placed the small white flower on her friend’s chest.

Though it was small, it had fine petals that reminded me of a lily. Amid all the red she wore, that single white flower seemed to shine all the brighter.
