Stop acting like it's such a big deal. As long as -
[No, he's not going to finish that, because he doesn't want to have this conversation.]
This isn't about me, anyway! This is about a bunch of grown men prodding into someone's nonexistent love life like it's any of their business!

It was three too many. At least. This third letter mentions a few names I haven't gotten any letters from...
[He's thoroughly exasperated. It's hard enough to just sort of care about people, so he can't even imagine what being this invested in something like this feels like.]

The one with the tears on it? Yeah, that guy sounds like he has a lot of... emotions. That level of investment is definitely a bit weird, since I think the most romantic thing we did in front of them was a healing spell and you sarcastically calling me 'princess'.
[ The praise makes perfect sense to him at least. Then again, Hakuno did save his tantou butt, so that may color his vision a bit. Still she's cute to everyone, that isn't an exaggeration. ]
But Hakuno-chan is definitely sweet and nice like an angel! That's why I'm sharing some marshmallow candy with you, it's delicious.
[ Also if she's worried in the future because of Donut's post, the candy isn't sourced from Jirou. Probably another benefactor like Viet or Masa, who are... Better, at least. Shinano is rolling in sources. ]
If it's okay with you! Um... Do you want to read these letters when I'm around, or is that a private thing? We can just hang out and talk, too.

Well, I've never met an angel so I don't know how accurate that is, but... thank you, Shinano-kun. It's sweet that you think so.
[She ruffles his hair, smiling faintly as she steps back to let him in.]
I don't mind the company, and I don't intend to read them out loud, so it should be private enough.

[if she's gonna hug a shirtless sword it might as well be one with top tier tiddy like the donut]
Well, if you get any letters like these ones, let me know. It's only fair, seeing as I'm involved in this whole mess.
[Finding out how large the enemy force is is the first step to success.]

Caren,
My lessons have been going very well. Jae-ha has been a huge help, as has Seiei. The latter recently helped me purchase a wakizashi for our lessons, and another acquaintance of mine gave me a hunting knife not long after the battle in Gammon. He'll be teaching me how to use that and helping me hone my flexibility soon. Sion has been helping me learn some tricks of our shared trade, so to speak, as well as offering singing lessons. After my week with my flexibility coach, I might be confident enough to actually take you up on that game.
Best wishes,
Hakuno

*A letter arrives, addressed to 'gentle hero,' the envelope and page is written in flawless script. As is the self-addressed envelope inside the letter. The address, wherever it is, is in Caissa. For those detail oriented enough to check. The letter also carries a slight scent of wildflowers, like someone made a point of marking the parchment with extracts before sending it.*
Hakuno,
Phi thương, bất phú. The English equivalent I believe is "Nothing ventured, nothing gained". This is what I see you achieving now, going out and trying out as many things as possible.
And that is how it should be now, no? You are allowed this chance of life, so do everything in your power to gain the life you dreamed of! The road will be long and arduous, that even those who have lived a long life like myself still learn new things every day.
I can only hope that I be a suitable support. I like to believe I can be a good older sister, but when it comes to experiencing new things, I had never compared to my other siblings. I will admit I am drawing inspirations from their actions. For example, my sister was a huge fan of cosplay. You saw it happening at whenever we see those Hero shops, no? I think I'm beginning to ramble.
Be brave, continue forward, make many friends and family, you already have one. I will always be a step behind you to help you find direction, but also in front of you to protect you, so do not fear anything.
Vietnam.
P.S. You may also call me Sen. It means lotus in Vietnamese.

Hehe, I'm glad it makes you smile.
[ Hair ruffles! His brothers would do that to him, it's an affectionate, sometimes teasing gesture, but he likes it all the same. In her room, he sits down on the floor with a bite of candy, leaving the rest for Hakuno. His carrier hops out from hiding in his scarf, coughing up some new letters... They keep coming, huh. ]
Does Hakuno-chan usually have friends over, or do you visit them instead?
[ How many friends Hakuno has might be the better question. The powers of a Fate protag with a Servant... harem? ]

 Dearest Hakuno, In the spirit of letter writing month, and feeling inspired by the kind words others have given me in their letters, I decided that this was a good opportunity to thank you for your friendship. I was quite touched by the letter you sent me, and the food was delicious! It makes me happy to know that you took time out of your day to think about me, and to prepare delicious treats. In the weeks of getting to know you, I have come to realize that you are truly special, Hakuno. I feel privileged to be in the presence of someone with so much boundless optimism, with so much nobility, with so much life within her! Your smile and your laughter is infectious, and even when I might be having a particularly rough day, you always find some way to cheer me up, without even trying! You inspire me to look on the bright side of things, and to never get complacent with my skills. You are always seeking new knowledge; new experiences, new skills. It encourages me to try and better myself, even if it’s something silly like learning how to cook rice without setting a small fire. You have been hurt in the past, and you have never let that stop you. There is a light in you that cannot be extinguished, a light that makes you shine even when times are dark. You have come so far with regards to your lessons, too! You’ve given me quite a few bruises from those kicks, and I couldn’t be prouder. Which reminds me, I learned a new dance a week ago, from some kids at the park. It is called “dabbing”, and even though it doesn’t require a partner, it’s pretty fun! I’ll teach you-- it’s easy, too! Sincerely yours,   |

( he includes... what looks like fake glasses? maybe to match him? what's he even thinking?
other than that, there's a small snack included. ... if she's brave enough to eat it, she'll find out that it's one of his pranks and it's insanely sour. )
[Rather than come through the carriers, Hakuno will find a bundle of handwritten papers tied with string and wrapped in plain brown paper outside her door. Inside, all the papers are covered in notes and detailed drawings on how to properly care and maintain a Japanese sword.
At the end of the bundle is a note:]
If you ever have any questions or need a demonstration, come see me.
[There's no name signed, but he assumes she'll know who it's from.]
