Sweets. Part 3[edit]
"Do you know the other names for hydrangea?"
The teacher asked, in the middle of their classical literature class.
They'd read through to a good place to stop for the day, but there was still some time left until the bell rang. At times like these, the teacher would start to chat. One of her classmates had brought along some freshly cut hydrangea from home, and their pale blue colored a section of the classroom.
"I'm sure you all know that the hydrangea flower changes color. As a result, it's been given a lot of nicknames. One of the major ones is 'Quick change kabuki dance.' Like a ninja, right?"
The elegant lecturer, who must have been getting into her sixties, then spent the next ten minutes until the end of class talking about the conditions that brought about the change in the hydrangea's color, the color change itself, and other such topics.
When she summed it up by explaining hydrangea in the language of flowers, it struck a chord in Yumi's heart.
– Fickleness.
Yumi thought as she looked at the hydrangea flower. It was so pretty when it was blue. Why would it change its color?
Fickleness.
Perhaps Sachiko-sama's heart had changed too.
