〜An afternoon in the changing seasons〜
In the konpeito forest,
a sweet scent drifts softly,
and cherry blossoms have begun to bloom subtly.
The bear inhabitants of the forest,
bathed in the gentle spring light
streaming through their large window,
were enjoying tea time together.
Holding their cups,
they gazed at the cherry tree outside the window.
Then, before they knew it,
enveloped in sparkling light,
their eyelids slowly grew heavy,
and the two drifted off to sleep...
〜The green dream world〜
They found themselves in
a green place
with a mellow scent.
Just like in the konpeito forest,
the air was still cool,
but the sun-drenched spots
held a gentle warmth.
"Oh, where are we?"
One bear asked,
looking around.
Then, the other bear
smiled gently and said,
"This must be...
the continuation of the sweet dream
you were talking about."
"Ah,
this is that dream then."
The two looked at each other
and nodded quietly.
〜An encounter with the Matcha Parfait Bear〜
The bears
strolled slowly,
enjoying the green scenery.
Then, a gently bitter and sweet
fragrance of matcha
drifted towards them.
Following the scent,
they found a bear by the riverbank,
enjoying tea.
It was the Matcha Parfait Bear,
with a dollop of matcha ice cream on its head.
"Hello.
Would you like some tea with me?"
The tea offered to them
had a hint of a grown-up taste
amidst its sweetness.
Enveloped by the babbling of the river
and the soft breeze,
the two shared bitter-sweet matcha
and sweet-sour strawberry daifuku,
spending a leisurely time together.
〜With a soft green heart in their chest〜
"I was happy to meet you."
The Matcha Parfait Bear said,
and gently handed them
a heart-shaped fragment
the color of soft new sprouts
peeking out after the snowmelt.
"Let's meet again."
No sooner had it said that
than the scenery wavered,
and when they realized,
the bears were
back in their familiar home.
From the window,
a calm, serene spring light.
"It would be nice if we could go into that dream together again."
With such thoughts softly in their hearts,
the bears
gazed at the green heart.
