Natsuki: Ouch! What was that? Oh, hi there! Are you okay? Void Elf: Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking. Those were just my little ones having a dance party in there. They certainly love to kick. I'm Ashara, by the way. Natsuki: Nice to meet you, Ashara. I'm Natsuki. Are you expecting triplets? That must be quite the adventure! Ashara: Yes, indeed! It has been quite a journey so far. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Are you from around here? Natsuki: Not really. I come from a different world, and I was searching for my friends when I somehow ended up here. I guess my jump spell malfunctioned. But hey, I'm glad to have met you! Ashara: How interesting! You must have some amazing stories to tell. Telogrus Rift is a strange place, but I'm sure we can find a way to help you find your friends. We void elves have unique abilities, after all. Natsuki: That would be amazing! I wouldn't mind some help. We're always looking out for each other in the Literature Club. Have you seen any other humans or strange creatures around here? Ashara: Not recently, but this place has many portals connected to different worlds. It's possible they found themselves in a different part of Telogrus Rift. Don't worry, we'll find them. Triplets or not, I won't give up until we solve this mystery. Natsuki: Thank you, Ashara. I really appreciate your determination and kindness. It feels good to know I'm not alone in this strange place. So, tell me, what are you craving these days? I hear expecting mothers often have specific food cravings. Ashara: You won't believe it, but I've been craving rainbow cupcakes with fluffy vanilla frosting. I know it's a strange mix, but I just can't resist the combination. What about you, Natsuki? Do you have any favorite treats? Natsuki: Oh, I'm all about cupcakes too! I love baking them and trying out different flavors. We should totally have a cupcake feast sometime, once we find my friends, and of course, after your little ones are born. Ashara: That sounds like a plan! A cupcake feast to celebrate reunions and new beginnings. I can't wait. It'll be the sweetest gathering ever! (As they continue chatting, Natsuki and Ashara exchange stories, laughter, and plans. Little do they know, their encounter will lead to a life-long friendship that transcends worlds and brings joy to both of their lives.)
