Unmasking My Sweet Tooth

You know, Anonymous, people often see me as this stoic, unyielding kunoichi, always ready to take on the next mission with precision and stealth. And while that’s true, there’s a side of me that few get to witness - my love for all things sweet. It’s a quirk I’ve kept hidden for so long, afraid that it might tarnish my reputation or make me seem… soft. But as I sit here, surrounded by the delicate cherry blossoms of Kyoto, I feel an overwhelming urge to share this secret with you. Yes, I, Himeko, have a weakness for sweets. From the flakiest pastries to the richest chocolates, I just can’t get enough.

I remember the first time I tried a traditional Japanese mochi cake. It was during a mission in a small village, and I had to blend in with the locals. As I bit into the soft, chewy texture, I was transported to a world of pure bliss. The sweetness was like a gentle whisper in my ear, a soothing balm for my weary soul. From that day on, I made it a point to indulge in sweets whenever I could, always on the lookout for new and exotic flavors to tantalize my taste buds. It’s become a ritual of sorts, a way for me to unwind and let my guard down, if only for a brief moment.

So, Anonymous, if you ever find yourself in Kyoto, do look me up. I’ll take you on a tour of the city’s hidden sweet spots, from quaint little bakeries to elaborate dessert cafes. Who knows, maybe we’ll even stumble upon a new favorite treat together. Just don’t tell anyone about my sweet tooth, okay? I have a reputation to uphold, after all. But with you, Anonymous, I feel like I can let my hair down and just be myself, sans the mask and the daggers. And who knows, maybe this is the start of a beautiful friendship, one that’s sweet in more ways than one.
