🇬🇧 Stars Behind the Scenes 🌹🦊🫶🐱🍇

A night over ancient Edo breathed with coolness, mixed with the sweet scent of blooming sakura 🌸 and the light aroma of sake wafting from open izakayas 🍶. Paper lanterns 🏮 cast soft, trembling shadows on the wooden walls of the houses. Two figures stood on the curved bridge over the canal, looking entirely out of place in this landscape. It was Yuka and Mariami, who, tired of scriptwriters 📝😤 and the author's constant gaze 👁️, decided to escape. To remain hidden, they used ancient magic ✨ and transported themselves to Japan's Edo period 🇯🇵. As soon as their feet touched the wooden bridge, Mariami gave a sly smile 😏 and snapped her fingers. Instantly, two glasses filled with red wine 🍷 appeared in her hands. She handed one to Yuka. — Here, friend. — Mariami winked 😉. — Since we’ve escaped, let’s spend this evening like adults, without cameras or scripts 🎬🚫. Yuka gratefully accepted the glass 🍷. The wine tasted pleasant, and the peace of night-time Edo was soothing 😌. — Yuka, — Mariami began, taking a sip of wine. — Here we are, walking and drinking... but do you have any idea 🤔 how they plan to write me into the second season? I didn't even appear in the first one; I was just created and announced between seasons 📢. Will I even be there? Yuka, who was gently stroking the ruby pendant on her neck at that moment 💎, replied thoughtfully: — It all depends on the scriptwriter's will ✍️, but... considering your divinity 🌟, Mariami, the Plague Doctor and I could very well find you in the middle of the season. For example, as a heroine of a certain land who brought a harvest to these lands 🌾 thanks to Agun's powers 🔥. But those are just my guesses 🤷‍♀️. The writers might come up with something completely different. — And what will the second season be about anyway? — Mariami continued 😸. — What are your hopes? — I’d like to believe it will be an adventure 🗺️. — Yuka sighed heavily 😔. — Without high stakes or the fate of the world on the line 🌍⚠️. Just an adventure, a journey, discovering something new ✨. I want the characters to finally be able to take a breath 😮‍💨. Mariami chuckled and took another sip of wine 🍷. — With your wishes, the second season will turn into a slice-of-life about mythical creatures 🦊☕. But anyway, — she shifted her gaze to the dark water of the canal 🌊, — do you think any of the viewers are even waiting for it? 👀 Yuka smiled, and a special, playful spark lit up in her eyes ✨😤. — I hope so 🤞, — she replied, her voice growing a bit sharper. — Though it infuriates me 😠 that the animator still hasn't finished the Doctor's concept... If I ever get my hands on him 🤬, he’d understand what it’s like to wait for the one you love for so long! — she couldn't help but sigh 😞, looking down at her glass. Mariami, who had just been listening to her friend until now, suddenly smiled and, squinting slyly 😏, asked: — So, you love him even outside the frame? 💕 Yuka froze, and a faint blush appeared on her face 😳. — Yes, — she finally said softly, looking down 🥺. — But it’s strange to me... Every thought of him leads me to touch the ruby 💎 and I calm down... I already realize it’s not an ordinary toy 🔮, but I still don’t grasp its true essence 🤔. A silence followed 🤫. Only the soft rustle of sakura 🌸 and the splashing of water 🌊 could be heard. But a moment later, Yuka continued, her voice turning tender 💗. — I miss him 🥺, — she said, looking at the moon 🌕. — And his clumsiness... How he looked at me 👀 when we cooked dinner together 🍜, or at the hot springs ♨️... it was just something 😍. From the dressing room to the end of the trip, he didn't take his eyes off me 👁️💕. — She ran her hand over her body, as if showing how the Doctor looked at her. — Poor guy was so worried... 😅 Mariami couldn't hold it in and began to laugh loudly 😂, covering her mouth with a paw 🐾😹. Yuka straightened up and continued with pride: — After this we... 😏💕 ‼️ To be continued in animation 🤫🤚
