Mino, despite her shyness, mustered the courage to ask the innkeeper for a pot of hot water.
She carefully took out a wooden box from her pack, revealing tea leaves, a tea bowl, and two small cups.
With practiced elegance, she placed the tea, poured the hot water, and gracefully filled the cups.
The bunny-eared girl kept her head lowered the whole time, her blue eyes focused on the teacups. Her quiet concentration gave the act an almost sacred ritual-like feeling.
"Please, try the Starlight Tea." Luciel gestured politely.
"Alright." Yue Feiyan lifted the cup, studying the pale green liquid before taking a sip.
The taste was bitter at first, but before she could frown, a wave of sweetness bloomed across her tongue, making her narrow her eyes in delight. At the same time, a refreshing coolness surged through her head, followed by a soothing warmth in her stomach.
