Chapter 0 - He who trusts, And he who believes
Tanoshi Tada - Hey! I'm Tada Tanoshi. Yes! Tanoshi!! Because I bring Fun to others. So Here's my Collaborated work. Well its my First time. So lets have A Memorable and enjoyable journey
Kamikyo Sozo - Even though it's my first time, I want to let the rookie authors (like me) who thinks they are beneath me realize that writing is not actually easy even though whatever POV's you perceive a topic of. I know 23,038 characters in a first chapter is crazy! Being the main writer in charge can be scary, cause its very rare for a writer to bring out more of an output then the expected product one thought you would accomplish.
[00_null] Premature Opening Arc
ANW - Chapter ; #0000 ; -"He who trusts, And He who believes"
BY TADA TANOSHI & KAMIKYO SOZO
Arc ; Kamikyo Sozo
Writer ; Kamikyo Sozo
It was a day of summer, scorching heat in the midst of the big mansions I see, our cultural motifs were all over the place in almost every platform we perceived
Unlike now, The Shibito Estate was brighter before, even though it is still bright now, the nostalgic feeling doesn't hit the same way it did back then when I often left the state for a vacation of 2 days
The Torii gate always had a bright red color, it never lost its glorious intensity even when typhoons and thunderstorms embarked on our nation.
Sign ; Shibito Family Estate
Imaginary Character ; Shibito Gwyen (37)
Shibito Gwyen looked like he was exhausted, passing through the Torri gate with an unsatisfied look, came across an old but very tall looking man, A man who rather always keep a "I am onto something" face with a wide grin.
Yes, yes, I feel it, he is up to something, Is something wrong with me? Are there any crumbs still on my mouth after I ate my lunch? Do I look weird? Wait! Maybe I wore my clothes upside down?
Gwyen felt intrigued, why in the heck do I always feel like I am offended? Or exposed?
Even Devil's doesn't smile like that!!! Is what Gwyen thought, not just Gwyen, but every other member of the Shibito Family.
"Shibito-sama! Good morning!!"
Imaginary Character ; Shibito Gaja (65)
"Good Morning, Father",
Wait a second
............
Father?
Yes, Father. All this time, this grinning and the "I am onto something" vibe was from his own father.
"Cmon Father! At least respect me by calling me by my given name!", Gwyen doesn't like the fact that his own father calls him with honorifics, just because he was in a greater state than his father was.
"Why though? Isn't that respectable?" Gaja replied with his teeth out.
"No it isn't, how does it show respect when you call out your own son with honorifics?"
Gaja laughed again, "Boy, forget it! I am bored acting and sitting like clan elder!"
While then, two youths had already appeared, A face of sympathy was plastered on the elder brother who was trying all his best to make that younger one calm. He was sad due to something, even though it piqued the interest of all, Shibito Gwyen was somewhat unfazed.
Imaginary Character ; Shibito Gyu (9)
Gyu is the eldest son of the Shibito Family, who greatly resembled a snowy and silvery eagle with dark green eyes. His face always gave a positive look, as he has always been positive till the end.
Imaginary Character ; Shibito Kageyama (6)
The younger one was Kageyama, this infamous kid can already be defined by his name.
Back then, Kageyama was highly energetic and charismatic, but at the sometime a crybaby, everything done by him had an infamous but enlightening glow. He was infamous and nearly bad mouthed by everyone because of the shenanigans he made all throughout the village every single time.
From ruining the flowers decorated by the old man every noon to pranking random people whoever entered the Shibito Samurai Academy by putting banana peels on the way.
Even though the pranks he always played, the kid was always determined to his daily work, which is quite surprising for a kid this wicked. Too bad circumstances never fail to change someone's personality to a higher extent, those youthful moments don't seem to be with us since then.
And for Shibito Gyu? This kid never fails to attain the golden crown of maturity, The village of Kenshi admired him on per with a general, where his main job was to hunt Kageyama down and stop his shenanigans. A thoughtful, diligent kid with a massive sense of responsibility. Unlike Kageyama who was sort of "Easy going", he was not, as he tried to cope with everything for everyone's good.
Even though two of the brothers are uniquely different, they always had a significant trust and belief for each other
ONE WHO TRUSTED, AND ONE WHO BELIEVED
Nothing new from Kageyama, started crying in front of his grandfather, who was confused about the reason of the kid's sadness
"What happened my boy?", he asked, to Gyu who was nearby, standing next to his father who happens to ignore Kageyama, who was crying, staring with a sharp look
Like who the hell is this kid? The guts to stand toe to toe in front of his father, kinda like challenging him to a staring contest. The kid's eyes couldn't believe his father who didn’t reach out to his younger son who was crying. (Well Kageyama is acting)
A damn staring contest is about to happen where the little kid raises his volume of crying a little bit higher, higher enough which reaches inside the Shibito Estate main hall, reaches inside the very ears of the mother of those two Brightful youths.
Shibito Kitou's personality was somewhat very diligent and highly praiseworthy, her usage of words was highly sophisticated which always had an unwanted royalty touch. For someone who never thought of herself to talk like a royalty, she happens to choose her words carefully and perfectly.
That was somewhat not it, Kitou mostly resembled a smart woman who always liked to give a well detailed explanation, to the point where her words become sophisticated, but whenever she gets pissed off, her tone changes to a highly aggressive women who do use every bad word on earth to express her anger.
Especially in the cases where you act unfazed purposely.
Imaginary Character ; Shibito Kitou (33)
The first thing she said to her husband was a little unexpected
"Kindly proceed to prepare your own final resting place", with a death stare
With a worked up and unsatisfied look, Gaja hurried and proceeded to make things easier, "You mean, 'Please go ahead and dig your own grave'?"
Gwyen stood there silently, like the heavenly law says, "Boys doesn't have human rights, which wife on earth would want to listen to an old man rather than her child?", Wait? Gwyen isn't an old man!
What is wrong with the narrator? I mean I! The narrator who narrated a whole yap full of details but still does not explain why Kageyama was sad, and of course, crying........
"His precious Wooden Katana broke", finally, the main character Gyu spoke, explaining the matter.
Kageyama replied while sobbing from the made-up tears he shed, "That's not it! This old man smacked me on the head!". A huge grin which was on par with Gaja appeared on his younger grandson's cunning face, a somewhat devilish smile, staring at his father who was sweating buckets......
(Alright that's a straight up lie, but I won't complain, Hehe), the thoughts pass through Gyu as he lets his mother elaborate further and end it here.
Kitou was angry, "Firstly, you disregarded your own young son and then proceeded to strike him upon the head! How could you exhibit such irrational behavior?"
"Ki-Ki-Kitou....I can explain. That darn kid whom I don't know made up this filthy lie! He wanted to make you punish me!!"
"Whom do I not know? He is quite literally your son! How could you be so oblivious? You absolute imbecile!", Kitou snapped, her children cannot be ignored and be forgotten.
"Ahh, Kitou and her elegance! I certainly feel amazed due to your wise usage of words! Be proud young one!" Gaja blurted with a swifty tone.
"It is scarcely a matter of pride, Father. Rather than harboring any sense of accomplishment, you should be utterly consumed by shame for your grievous failure to cultivate even the most basic manners in your offspring. Every day, I am haunted by the profound regret of having bound myself in matrimony to this man."
(Ohh shoot! I forgot, the more I talk, the more she will heighten her sense of sophisticated elegant sentences), Gaja realizes his profound mistake of pissing Kitou off....
This kid was always glorious, I mean his eyes, his eyes explain it all, This green eyes which has a dark shade on it, gives of the vibes of the longtime dregs of experience and maturity, Shibito Gwyen was never unfazed by this kids extensive charisma leading him to adore this kid fairly, or more than enough
(Now one thing which is still on pending is finally having girls in his life), that sets the life of Shibito Gyu, Gwyen's bright thoughts for his son is on a very high regard and a great matter to discuss about among the royalties who have expectations for him
Despite how charismatic this kid was since his birth, Gyu seems to be uneasy about leading a great peaceful life all set like a bundle by his father. For the man who is currently in the syndrome of "seeking their ideal expectations" and a Longterm believer of curses, it is something which can already be expected from any parents around the globe, One thing which always marks on Gyu's blacklist is his father's great unacceptance of his younger child Kageyama, and Gyu wants him to be greatly in remorse for his behavior towards his beloved little brother
Excluding the Head of The Shibito's, Shibito Gwyen, Kageyama was always adored and highly taken by everyone
"The meeting! You will be late!", Gaja shouts as he wants his son to make a run for it
"You brat! I will get you soon enough when i come back from the meeting! Little punk!", Gwyen exhales....
"Utter such words once more, and you shall face your untimely end, my unforeseen consort, whose presence I did not anticipate...", Kitou glares as she threatens her husband
As he gulps, Gwyen leaves....
"Brother, will you make me a new one?", Kageyama requesting his elder brother
"It will take some time, this time, I will make you an even better one"
****
After that, on the cold sunset with a warm goodbye. Gyu and Kageyama were training. The thing that they always do most of the time, the little one who always gets influenced by the elder one, but isn't there another one?
Kageyama swings his sword which directly counters Gyu's attack.
"So Brother......", he said as his breath was stuttery.
"What is it?", Gyu replies while performing a straight swing, directly hit Kageyama's hand....
"Uhh!" (he blocks, while he struggles to catch a breath, pushed Gyu off)
Kageyama grabs Gyu's hand as he finally got time to catch a breath, leans closer as he took the black colored cloth of Gyu, attached to his arm....
"Phew finally got a point after many attempts", Kageyama exhales a breath of joy as he sat on the corridor of their open balcony.
"Well, my question was, what are the Devils?"
Gyu while sweating, took the mug of water and pours it on himself, while he sits and accompanies his brother.
"Hmm (smiles)"
THEY ARE ENEMIES
He listens with the face of annoyance,
"Yes, I know that, I said who are they and where do they live?"
Gyu sighs, "You know, I am not a set of knowledge!"
"................"
"But I can give you one information though!" he said as he stood up....
A GENERAL IDEA REGARDING DEVILS?
YES, YOU CAN THINK IT LIKE THAT
"I learnt from Grandfather that they are mostly hostile and arrogant" Gyu explained as he drinks water from a jug.
NOT FREINDLY HUH?
Gyu continues, "He said they are the main representative of a somewhat evil energy called "Yin Energy"......
PRETTY COMPLEX FOR MY AGE HUH?
Gyu became pissed off from the "huh?" themed monologue Kageyama was presenting
This isn't a theatrical play, right?
"Then why did you ask if it's too complex for your age?!!"
Kageyama gulped as he started to sweat, "Calm down, Calm down! Aren't you underage too?"
"Being underage doesn't mean I lack the ability to know!!!" Gyu was even more pissed by Kageyama's dumb acts...
"Alright, then it's okay to drink alcohol while being underage right?
"You’re just deluded by the thought of tasting alcohol", Gyu sighs
"................."
WELL KAGEYAMA, WE TRAIN TO BECOME WELL ESTABLISHED SAMURAI'S
TO FIGHT THEM, TO SUBJUGATE THEM FROM THEIR EVIL ACTS
"Well, It's not like I don't give a shit about that! If you say so, then I trust you, Believe me......."
WE WILL BE THE BEST SWORDSMAN OF ALL
HISTORY WON'T BE ABLE TO REPEAT DUE TO HOW ENORMOUS OUR ACHIEVEMENTS WOULD BE
Gyu smiles...
This kid also grows huh? Where people nowadays don't grow more from their field, lost being ambitious while we shutter ourselves from the outside world, contents inside our array are amazingly limited, as it doesn't enjoys taking anymore,
I AM FULL
IS WHAT THEY SAY
NOW LET ME BE WHAT I HAVE ALREADY CONSUMED
NO MORE AND NO LESS
LET ME GO ON FROM WHAT I HAVE ALREADY CONSUMED
NO MORE AND NO LESS
I KNOW WHAT I KNOW, AND I AM HAPPY WITH THAT
I EAT WHAT I EAT, AND I AM HAPPY WITH THAT
WAITING FOR A SECLUDED HEAVEN, WHERE I ALSO WILL LIVE LIKE WHAT I HAVE LIVED BEFORE
HEAVEN SHRINKS IS WHAT I KNOW, AS IT SHRINKS ENOUGH LIMITING TO WHAT I FEEL COMFY WITH
DELUDED BY NOTHINGNESS AS I DIE WITH HOLLOWNESS
****
"Just like you trust me, at the same quantity, I believe you little brother! That's why we train most of the time! Don't we?" Gyu smiles with an ambitious face
Gyu and Kageyama bumps their fists as Kageyama gives a wide smile
POKE, POKE
Is what Kageyama feels on his shoulder, he looks back
Imaginary Character ; Shibito Mei (6)
Mei was a calm and cunning one, her demands were bigger than that of two Shibito Estates. She was most likely the type who would always give you the "Hmph!" and leave you there clueless.
For her age, her grammar and vocabulary were way advanced, like her mother. For the one who learned to talk earlier than her days older brother (Kageyama) and demanded that she was smarter than her 2 older brothers.
Well, the daughter of the Shibito was way more laid back than Kageyama himself, as she requires her brothers to carry her on the table as she eats. Always located inside kotatsu or bed. She admires the art of sleeping more than the art of doing something like regular activities.
"She is the twin sister of Kageyama after all", is what Gyu always says inside his mind as he struggles and accepts her twisted demands every day.
Well for Kageyama, he is the ultimate sister worshipper. Doesn't even think for a second and accept her demands on anything. Two of the twins had an amazing understanding and parallel, where the brother is blind honest, and the sister is extra laid back.
"Ken-chan", she giggles, as she pokes Kageyama....
"I am not Ken-chan.........", He smiles as he corrects his sister
"But I like it that way better!", she pouts....
"Oh, so the sloth of the Shibito Family woke up?", Gyu stated as he gave her a warm head pat on her head....
"I am not sloth of the Shibito's! I am just soo smart that I sleep like smart people every single time!" Mei pissed off as she shouts at her own elder brother....
"Mama calls out for you guys to have dinner, please get inside" (Sighs)
Gyu gave a quiet smile, "Yeah, you go on, we are coming ones we are ready, we smell like garbage right now", Gyu gags at himself.
"Worse than garbage, all you guys do is train, can't you do other stuffs?" Mei pouts again as she looks away...
"Other stuff? You mean ignoring the work which will bring us benefit?!! Kid you alright?" Gyu sighs as he gets inside to wash himself...
At that moment, a specific spot on my neck, which had started hurting three days ago, began to glow, and I felt more pain than ever before. It felt as if new tree roots were protruding from my skin, and I couldn't touch them....
FEELABLE, NOTICEABLE
BUT
NOT ACCESSIBLE, NOT TOUCHABLE
****
1 Hour later,
WASHITSU
SITTING IDLY ON THE TATAMI MATS
MY BROTHER SEEMED WORRIED FOR ME, AS MY MOTHER ALSO LOOKED CONCERNED, AS IF SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
Gwyen was examining that specific spot on Kageyama's neck. The man was intrigued but not overly concerned
Similarly, Grandfather Gaja was sweating as he walked around, from small scrolls to large scrolls, Intrigued and certainly worried.
"Hmm, seems like his attribute have matured into usable ethics. In other words, it may or may not reached a state where it is usable and has its own principle now", Gwyen said, while examining the white dragon-like tattoo resembling tomoes, white colored as it looked very unfamiliar to Gwyen....
UNLIKE SHIBITO GYU'S BLACK TOMOE,
IT WAS WHITE
"You don't know what the attribute is?", Gyu says
YOU ARE USELESS THEN
Gaja looked puzzled as he unbinds another scroll,
"We are not sure, in my scrolls, nothing is written about this specific mark. And this mark doesn't match with the existing attributes which are drawn...."
Gyu listens as he turns to her little sister, who was kinda afraid and holding the very edge of his elder brother's robe
"What are your thoughts, Mei?"
MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL?
Mei nodded, as she was about to look at her father, Gwyen roared in a silent manner....
NO, ITS A CURSE!!!
Kageyama seemed pissed off, as he stands up,
"Huh? Shut up geezer!"
Gaja said as he stands up along with Gwyen,
"Why would it be a curse instead of an attribute?"
".................."
The lack of words intrigued Gaja to continue on, "Maybe it's a new one or isn't mentioned in the Attribute Poetry Scroll?"
"He is right!", Gyu stood forward as he faces his father with confidence
"Nothing can't be sure, anything could happen anytime?", Gwyen swirls his eyes away, trying to ignore his words...
(Sighs), "Listen! If that term you believe is true, why can't it be a new attribute? That's possible too!", Kageyama assures.....
"WE RELATE"
[GYU AND GAJA]
"Your hypothesis is trash father!", Gyu laughed as he gave his own father a head pat.
{Attribute Mark ; An attribute mark starts to appear when a child harboring "Seishi" reaches 6-10 years of age. Different types of attributes show their own respective mark, as a resemblance of the attribute, in order to identify it. It glows and becomes temporary when it's matured enough to be usable.}
{Attribute Poetry Scroll ; A medium sized scroll which is the first scroll among the "Eight Divine Poetry Scrolls". It kinda acts and has the same ethics and principles of a "Mindless Spirit". Which are molded and used on several occasions. Poems and their respectable verses are embedded into letters and sealed within the scroll. Each verse of the poetry is large, and each of them describes its attributes. Its second half is embedded into a novel, which is the second book among the "Four Divine Novelized Lifelines". Mankind first derived the concept of "Seishi Attribute" and its powers from these sets of literary arts, now frequently used to identify attribute marks and its contents. The writers are unknown as it was first discovered inside the "Shibito Ruins" intact and unharmed}
"I bet it's an attribute we don't know about! I am interested to find out"
An unknown girl's voice echoed around the room. The source was outside the door as two shadows are noticeable....
"Huh? Who?", Gaja was puzzled as he bent to check who was out there....
Imaginary Character ; Kizanagi Miyoko (11)
Imaginary Character ; Kizanagi Ayane (6)
Right there stood two of the most beautiful Kizanagi's ever born according to Kenshii.
One of them was the exceptionally beautiful elder sister who happened to strawberry blonde with shiny highlights. There was nothing more to be precise of, from the perspective of a person like me, she was undoubtedly gorgeous, which I indeed never denied....
All throughout my life, this woman helped me to overcome paths that I could not have conquered without her encouragement and wise lectures. Me who never expected to receive this help and consideration.
SHE WAS VERY WARM HEARTED, KIND HEARTED
AND
A GREAT TEACHER AND ADVISOR
To be fair with, i was never nice to her
NEITHER SHE WAS NICE TO ME
But I did realize that she indeed cared for me. She used to spoil and bully me however she wanted because I was the youngest in the circle.
Both her and my brother had an amazing chemistry together. To be honest, they both did match together as an amazing couple, who would smack me on the head and make me regain my senses...
"You visit our estate every day, you forgot us?", Miyoko said, glaring at the usually bewildered Gaja as usual.
Kageyama gave a smirk as he was potentially prepared to unleash the amazing sets of insults, "That shits rude!"
Gwyen grabbed Kageyama's face, blocking his mouth, murmuring into his ears with a tone of threat, "Don't swear! They are our guests! and....."
AND?
[GYU WHISPERED WITH CURIOSITY}
"Oh! Welcome, please sit......Where's your father?" Gaja scratched his head.
Miyoko's eye contact with Gaja broke as she looked away towards the window, "H-he said he will be sleeping and gave all of the presentation work to Shibito-sama" She stuttered....
"That brat! Always attached with his goddamn bed!", Gwyen said, slightly annoyed...
"Who are you? You are noisy and annoying! Shut up!", Kageyama roars at them.
"..............", A deep silence flows between the two sisters....
"What an insult!", Miyoko felt the perfect violation of her humble royalty status, insulted due to Kageyama's behavior towards the important guest.
Gyu interrupts and interferes. Trying to stop them, "Stop! Anyways! Welcome! I am Shibito Gyu, and he's........"
Miyoko lashed out, "Yeah yeah whatever!"
(Kageyama was right......She is annoying), Gyu's veins were visible as he kept a straight smiling face
Right then, the younger sister interfered into the battle of yap, directly approaching Kageyama, holding his hands firmly...
"..................", Gyu and Miyoko standing there, silent....
"Ah! Excuse me, aren't you Kageyama-kun?", she approached...
"Huh? D-Do I know you?", Kageyama stuttered.......
"Hmm! She's in love!", Gaja whispered, standing along with the confused Gyu and Miyoko...
"Ah! Why won't I? You are the most defective student in the academy, right? Along with Ryunosuke-kun"
ITS HARD TO BE A GANGSTAR HUH?
"..............", A moment of loud silence again occurred in between everyone...
Kageyama broke the silence, "By the way? Is she a stalker? Or maybe a...."
THIEF?
"WHAT? How dare you kid? I am a senior! And she is my beloved little sister!", Miyoko roars at Kageyama...
"Stop! Like you guys! He is my precious little brother!", Gyu finally snapped at her....
Gaja stood there, watching nonsense....(These kids.......)
****
"My name is Kizanagi Miyoko......" Miyoko exhaled...
Ayane continues, "And I am Ayane"...
"So nice to meet you guys!", Gyu smiled as he greeted them nicely....
(My son is taking my place to talk as if he was the elder here! Don't mature up too soon dear son of mine!!), Gwyen felt enlightened but frustrated too....
"Heh! 'And I am Ayane!!' Like look at you! Even the narrator didn't explain anything about you! your small roles even affected my precious little sister's overall screen time!" Kageyama laughed at Ayane...
"Will You shut up?", Gyu gave a cold stare at Kageyama....
At a speed faster than light, Kageyama reacted soon as he gave a powerful bow. Having his mercy....
"S-Sorry.......", Kageyama stuttered as he confronted Gyu....
"................", The Kizanagi sisters stared at Kageyama with a face of arrogant pity....
(That kid radiated an astonishingly large aura when bowing to his older brother), Miyoko thought with a smile
Kageyama while bowing, moves his head up, "S-so anyways! The Kizanagi Sisters came to the Shibito Estate to brag about what?", a cold shiver ran down his spine....
"Can't you be any nicer? I get how scared you are of your brother, but you still harbored the remaining courage to speak with a bad impression of us? Why are yah acting like we are here to extort money or support some weird tax? You kid really do need to grow up!", Miyoko sighed...
"Forget him, so what's the reason for the visit ladies?", Gyu asked them politely...
Miyoko closes her eyes and then opens them again, facing Gyu, "My father told us to go meet our fiancés", Miyoko said, blushing....
"Huh?", Gyu is confused by her words
Kageyama stood up and pointed at his grandfather with great confidence, "Looks like our Old man finally decided to marry again after staying single for years!! How pathetic! Hahah!"
Miyoko is stunned, she gave a smile as she looked at Kageyama, "Tell me dear little brother, are you drunk? Do you drink at this age?"
"..................", Kageyama stood there silent.
The door knocked, as Kitou entered the room, The Kizanagi Sisters were delighted to see her, as they moved forward slowly to Kitou....
"Oh! It's the girls!", Kitou said, while firmly placing her palm on her cheek....
"It's nice to meet you", Miyoko said with a warm expression....
It was clear that every other girl on Kenshi admires and idolizes Kitou as their role model. A strong woman with a big heart is everyone's dream self, and men's dream companion
Miyoko looks up at Kitou....
".............."
"Oh......."
YOU ARE SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM
(KITOU SAID AS SHE GAVE A SMILE)
****
Hours later,
Gyu and Kageyama were sitting and admiring the starry night, while both of them didn't really expect the turns of events that happened hours ago....
"What's with this marriage stuff? Aren't I underage?", Kageyama said with a dumb face....
Gyu looked at Kageyama, who was confused about the "marriage" topic....
"Don't forget which era you live in, kid. Besides, they are our fiancé's, when you are like,,,,,,16? You will have to marry her little sister. I don't object though", Gyu said while staring at Kageyama who was randomly digging little holes on the surface.
Kageyama firmly holds the dead grasshopper's body, placing it into the small grave. He buried the insect......
"You mean ten years of hell? Can you divorce right after marriage? Like a year later?"
"........................."
"You will marry ten years later, and you are talking about divorce ten years before? What?", Gyu was amazed by the usual weird assumptions of Kageyama.
****
Shibito Estate Dojo - Non-lethal array, Tactical Section
2V2 non-lethal Swordfight, Kageyama and Ryunosuke as a team will attempt to defeat Gyu and Takashi as a team....
"So, you finally came out of your room? Takashi?", Gyu says as he prepares his wooden katana....
Imaginary Character ; Tsukiyori Takashi (9)
"You guys are the ones who forced me out of here", Takashi replied as he wrapped some bandages on his arms....
"Ryu and Kage are having their 1V1 right now, seems like Ryu do have some chance against him" Gyu comments....
"Well, Kageyama-kun is good at defense, Ryunosuke has an upper edge in offence. Because his offence is pretty bold", Takashi muttered while he wiped his glasses....
"You deserve to be a matchmaker, or an observer. You know, it suits you better!", Gyu smiles....
"You fools don't resort to understanding a proper match", he said as he wore his glasses. "It's better here watching other people fight and spit blood, then joining them in drawing paintings, replacing ink with blood"
Imaginary Character ; Fukushima Ryunosuke (7)
Ryu's sword breaks due to how much pressure he was pouring into one target.
"Kageyama, let's just end it here....", Ryu said as he stuttered, struggling to catch his breath....
"Okhe, better not put all the strength in one blow again later", Kageyama says, as both of them sat down on the floor...
Gyu and Takashi entered the platform, as they offered them water.
"You good?", Gyu asks......
"Yes, it was a fair fight indeed!", Kageyama said as he stood up, wiping his sweat....
The Grandfather Shibito Gaja appeared, as he gave a smirk and laughed towards them...
"Heh! You call that fight! You guys vow to become great swordsmen with these?", Gaja laughs as he stood forward.
"The real challenge is to beat me", Gaja unsheathed his wooden sword......
Gyu, Kageyama and the others stood up, glaring at Gaja....
IF SO, YOU WILL BE THE TOP OVER ALL SWORDSMEN
And then, that was the last time we had a swordfight together.
WE SMILED TOGETHER
LAUGHED TOGETHER
I remember those days, as I want to forget them. So that the sorrow doesn't annoy me any further....
After our hellish day of an Eternity, remembering certainty. I vowed to myself, adapting to certain limits.......
NOT THE WAY I SHOULD BE
