Master Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun the last lesson of this year today. We talked about the next-year performance, laughed by an ogre*. Mei-Shun would like to play “Shio-Kumi” – a kind of challenge, claiming her best effort.

*“When we talk about next year, ogres would laugh at it” is a saying to tease unexpected, out-of-reach dreams.
