7 SLEEPER

7 SLEEPER
The Nobles and Grandchildren of the Yakuza


Normally it takes 3 days to 4 days to get to the capital, but in this case it can reach 5 to 6 days, even one week.


Considering our entourage is not just a soldier. Some of the carriages contained food supplies, tents, medicine, loot as evidence of conquest, and passenger trains.


So it is impossible to drive the horse faster.


Also remember that horses need a lot of rest. The burden they bear is much greater than those of us who are just riding.


Along the way we often stop to the village village around even though it is just passing or taking a break.


Not infrequently also we replace horse towing freight cars that are already on the threshold.


In order for them not to be lonely and awkward in their new home, we traded their group for a new group of equivalents when it came to checkpoints.


As long as the transaction takes place, we also take advantage of the time available to go around and say hello, who knows in the future we will come back here again.


The people are very friendly and love to say hello. Their children are also growing up well, and excited.


As a sign of Thank you for their hospitality I also showed you some recipes that they can use with the ingredients they usually use.


Now their food menu is increasing and it makes the PKK mothers look challenged to try other variations.


I've also gotten the kids' hearts using some of my snacks. But unfortunately for the food that needs a Freezer I can not take out. Because it will certainly make the look of their faces become disappointed.


Potato Chips and Banana Cupcakes as well as Fruit Flavored Milk, they can still make.


For about 3 hours we were in the village village along the way I continued to exchange things for some purposes.


I feel like I am already a trader, even though the initial capital is only a recipe.


After passing through the night for 6 days, the next day we finally could see the figure of the city wall from a distance.


Even from afar I can tell, that up close will be much more charming.


And sure enough, it was far above charming, it was so amazing, even fantastic.


The walls are 30 meters high, standing tall. When passing through the gate I also measured the depth and thickness of that wall.


When he reached the end of the hall, the scorching rays of the sun pierced my eyes. The cheers I heard before I got to the gate were getting clearer and clearer.


And you believe it ?!


Festive greetings from residents who meet the shoulder of the road and the parade motorcade and Baton throwing attractions welcome us.


I've never felt this special before. It's a lot more festive compared to when I went to a National martial arts tournament last year.


I spontaneously waved my hand at them.


A sprinkling of flower petals and glossy paper decorated the sky that afternoon.


From the tall building buildings along the street, some residents peered out from their verandas.


Also some small families with their babies are teaching their babies how to wave.


On the side of the road the soldiers in cool uniforms they also lined up to turn their backs to the spectators.


One by one they paid their respects as we passed them.


I also saw a group of children running by our side up close. I'd love to go down and take them up to the horse. But dad stopped me, yeah there's a point too. It will be bad if those who are impatient jump ahead of the procession.


It takes about 15 minutes to get to the end of the road.


At the end of the road there we have been welcomed again by several horsemen.


I just follow what the people around me do.


I don't know what to do.


Their method of welcoming them takes too much of this and that process. Too long-winded.


But as an honor, let's just follow them, whatever they want.


After entering the other gate, we were escorted by 6 horsemen.


Dad drove his horse level with one of them.


One of them entered the line parallel to me.


His face is friendly and the dream type of all women. His skin was white, and his posture was proportional.


Ikemen my natural enemies. If this were on Earth surely this man would be a contention by the agency of a teenage modeling agency.


" If I don't guess wrong, are you Rion Sama ?"


" Same as ?"


" I'm sorry for my stupidity "


" Is it okay if we don't use formal language?, I'm not used to formal things. "


" Of course, it doesn't matter, I'm even more comfortable if we can be more familiar going forward. "


The Ikemen extended his hand.


" Same with me "


And I shook his hand, from that instantaneous touch I could tell, if the person in front of me was not just an ikemen who could only lift weights no heavier than spoons and forks.


It was the hand of a swordsman, it felt rough and contained.


" By the way we haven't had time to get acquainted, I'm Rion, greetings"


" I'm Alan, greetings also "


" Woo isn't the only person whose name is really cool "


" Hahaha you're too complimentary, Rion san "


" It's okay with Rion alone, everyone calls me that "


Alan laughed elegantly, his blond hair that fell straight was swaying due to the vibration of his body.


What is this ? I thought we were going to start speaking non-formally, but end up sticking with formal language from the start.


It seems like it needs an adjustment first.


It wasn't until five minutes that we reached the last stop.


We stopped in front of the palace entrance that was no less magnificent than what I imagined, after circling the magnificent and large fountain garden.


I didn't even realize if the main building in this capital was a much grander Palace when viewed up close, I had forgotten to be distracted by the parade crowd and Alan.


The maids lined up neatly on each rung of stairs are fairly numerous. They were very cute with the Maid clothes they were wearing.


There are some people among them who come from several races that are no less beautiful.


The other world is something.


I climbed all the stairs following Alan. And behind me the exhausted Izumi got out of the carriage while being dragged by his wife.


Followed by some women who were planning to come with us.


Their faces looked worried. I understand what's on their minds, but I can't help because I feel it myself.


'Is it appropriate for us to enter the magnificent palace in ordinary clothes ?'


But upon arriving at the door of the palace we were greeted again with more maids and servants.


" Gentlemen and Ladies, I welcome you to the Rose Guard Kingdom" Alan bowed and greeted the nobility elegantly.


Following behind him, the Maids and Servants also gave their portion greetings.


"" Ladies and gentlemen, welcome ""


Their simultaneous words echoed in this room.


*****


We were in the changing rooms, of course the men and women were separated.


" rion... Please help me "


Izumi who looks almost completely dried up, asked for my help when her helpless self was dragged by Momo.


I had a great debate with Momo because of her arbitrary attitude in the residence of others.


Until finally Izumi reluctantly managed to save me before he fell too deep again.


" Thank you for saving me from the abyss of Hell "


Izumi's voice sounded dry and hoarse. What really happened to you, man ?


We continue to move towards the dressing room. The hallways of this palace were so long and wide, it was also high. The windows are also large and are made of glass.


" I'd be lost if I lived alone here "My murmur.


"Bufft"


Alan seemed to hear my mumble that accidentally leaked out.


" Rion san, tu tung gu~~ a~~ ku~~ "


Izumi, who was no longer helped, forced her legs to continue to step even though she had to hold on to the wall.


" Izumi ?! "


" Ri~~on "


Izumi's eyes were like seeing a glimmer of light when our gaze met.


" Take your body, even if you have to crawl "


As if getting a final attack, Izumi fell down and fainted.


*****


In the end I kept helping her and carried her to the dressing room. I wasn't that cruel, just half-joking.


" Snarly !!"


" I'm sorry, I'm kidding, don't take it to heart "


Izumi who had been sighing after drinking the recovery potion was able to move again. He can also change his own clothes, of course he can, he is difficult.


Izumi was in the next room changing clothes and I was next to her.


Special clothes for today have been provided by the palace. But for its size is very ill-fitting.


Therefore, instead, we ask for permission to wear our clothes that are close to Formal Clothes.


Alan also agreed after many Eliminate some clothes that if polite.


Consequently...


To me, a black Tuxedo suit, with a white shirt and a black Hanging tie. For hair I use hair gel and bangs tail ties, as well as no less important, a pair of sunglasses.


Alan applauded me when I came out posing. His mouth forms the alphabet letter 'O '.


Next it was Izumi's turn with her Hakama Men. Do not forget the vest for his Hakama that happy impression authoritative.


It looks elegant and looks handsome when Izumi takes off her glasses.


" Wow, it's already suitable to be a Yakuza "


We applauded with Izumi's stunning appearance. I didn't think he could be this cool.


" Thank you for the compliment "


Izumi came out with her hands clasped inside her Kimono arm.


" but... "


"" But... ?""


" It's not like this either !!"


In a fit of annoyance Izumi took off her fake chonmage wig that was bundled with her costume.


Alan chuckles with Tsukomi whom Izumi plays.


" i don't think you'll notice... "


" Where could I not be aware, I installed it myself "


" You put it up because you like it, right ?"


" Where is it !!" Izumi poked at my cheek with a wooden sword on her waist.


" Hahaha sorry sorry, than that let's trim your hair first. "


" What's wrong with my hair?!"


" There's nothing wrong, just a little neatened up "I said while showing Hair Gel.


Izumi complied and sat in front of the mirror.


It's a rare opportunity to play with someone else's hair.


I made it into various modes, and I took a photo.


I did a few more and took a photo.


I scribbled the wound with an eyebrow pencil, and I took a photo.


I put a whisker and I took a photo.


Until Izumi finally realized that she was being pleased.


" Woy, don't play with people's faces "


" Hahaha sorry sorry, I'm release "


Izumi was even more upset when she found out I was still taking pictures of her.


There was a little chase between me and Izumi.


Alan was busy with himself in the corner. His body trembled and the sound of a small laugh rang out from his direction.


We stopped because we realized there was something wrong with this one Ikemen.


Tuk


" Login!!" Our answer is spontaneous.


" sir... It's time for. tuk... Pufft "


The Maid had a very difficult time conveying her report when she saw the graffiti on Izumi's face that looked ridiculous.


We waited quietly until the Maid finished his report, and quickly withdrew.


" Look at what you did !!" The boy yelled at me and blamed me for embarrassing himself in front of others.


" No, Izumi kun scolded me ~~" Godaku


" Stop playing around, quickly clean up any mess you're having trouble making "


" Hee~~ when it looks sad "My complaint is disappointed.


" Sangar, your eyes!!, quickly clean up !!"


" Yes yes, I cleaned it up "


I reluctantly kept cleaning up the graffiti.


" Want to leave the moustache ?"


" Don't joke!!" Izumi was really angry.


" Cih, but very cool "


" Your eyes!!"


*****


Reportedly the place we will visit at this time is the Royal Hall where the King usually receives important guests.


From the name alone I can guess the people present will definitely not be random people.


" Izumi, we're lucky we didn't leave your fake mustache "


Izumi let out a long sigh and said "I wonder when was the last time you used your brain "


Waw I'm getting a spicy critique.


At the crossroads we passed with women in beautiful clothes, their makeup was on the level of artists.


I suspect Momo's hand has good mechanical skills in decorating.


I think I have a rival here. Don't expect you to beat me in makeup.


*****


A magnificent red carpet was cut off in front of a large, milky-white twin door. There are carvings and embroidery of gold on both of the large doors that rise to the ceiling.


Two guards opened the big door for us.


" Now please follow me, just relax"


Alan guided us inside, on both sides there were already many Men and Women dressed in luxurious clothes. Everyone looks shimmering. Implied from their faces when staring at us sharply as if we were assessing our potential.


At the end of the line there is also another line that I can think of as the ranks of the military higher-ups. I could also find Dad there with some other higher-ups who were no less sinister, they were wearing the same military uniform that Alan was wearing.


" Rion san, please wait here "


" Eh, what should I do ?"


" Stay calm and follow what others do "


After ordering but not accompanied by further information, Alan immediately went and entered the ranks of the military higher-ups.


" Consideration!!, Duke Batolf Mattel Rose Guard to Three will enter the Throne Room. Everyone in the audience Please Give Respect !!!"


At that very instant, everyone present, went down on their knees on one leg.


Uh, what ? Why am I suddenly like a fool who doesn't know what to do. At least I know the manners and customs of welcoming the ruler. But this time my body and my brain felt blank.


Is correct... I just have to follow them. But my body won't respond.


On my left side izumi did not kneel either. His eyes were empty exhausted and just stood lethargic. While Momo cuefully just stood back with Blush open while checking her nails.


They're too relaxed.


Father gave a sharp look at me who did not follow their welcoming customs.


Alan on one side was laughing amusedly in his row.


As I lyricized in the other direction the nobles and bodyguards by the side of the window were frantically hinting me to go down on my knees.


I know I know.. But this body does not respond.


I'm the one panicking here.


But there's no time anymore. The entourage of the ruler whom they called His Majesty had already begun to enter the room.


They walked with the royal trumpet that was on standby at the side of the hall wall.


Without losing face, I damped my panic and posed with one hand in my pants pocket.


With an intimidating pose like I did when I was about to storm the headquarters of another clan who dared to disturb the Kazuma family's territory.


His Majesty somehow stopped his name on his throne for a moment and raised one palm while greeting everyone before sitting on his throne.


Without being bothered with the three people who did not pay their respects to him.


His friendly smile showed all of that.


The agenda readers of the event had panicked, but re-conscious about the next agenda.


" The people in the congregation stood back up. "


The simultaneous sound of them again shook the soul.


" Personally I say, welcome to this land, our heroes !!"


" ..... "


" ..... "


Eh, ? Hero that means us ?.


Ah, right too. Scenario is.


But I'm not at all in a briefing on this.


I glanced at Alan, but the man was busy with his laughter. While Dad... There's no hope.


At that moment a pair of eyes were looking at me, and our eyes met. I called him with my finger.


The man flinched, he knew what it meant and what I meant. He wanted to refuse but His Majesty allowed it.


With a panicked face and full of big question marks the man still came to me.


And we whispered this blablabla and that.


It was enough to end our short discussion. And back to their respective positions.


" Ahem... To His Majesty in particular and to the audience in general, I represent my friends to apologise profusely. All the customs here are much different from the country we came from. Therefore, please allow Your Majesty to accept our apology from the bottom of our hearts "


The three of us simultaneously bowed down the Japanese style as our respect and respect replaced their ways.


" As I heard earlier "His Majesty gives a warm smile, as his chin rests on both backs of his hands.


" Before ? "


Ah, so so it is. I just realized that there was a resemblance between him and Alan, did Alan give his tau ? there is no way Alan from the beginning was always with us until the end. Is it Dad ? it's probable.


" I heard it from the person I love the most" she said with a teasing smile.


" Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Princess Catherine and the Great Priestess, entered the room !!"


The doorkeeper where His Majesty had entered earlier, cheered in a abstinence voice and then opened the no less magnificent door.


Three people in the main spotlight entered the room with trumpet accompaniment and some cute Maid Maid.


There are two faces I know.


Mum and Rin. Thank goodness they are healthy.


Waita minute. Why do you feel there too ?


The three people there walked up the stairs and towards the seat next to the King's Throne.


" Rion-dono, let me introduce the people I love "


" What do I love ?"


" Start from my beloved wife "


" Wife ?!!! "


" Eh, what's up? Is something wrong, Rion-dono?"


" no... It's just that I just heard the word wife just now, heee~~ what ear I didn't hear wrong "


" Did I say something wrong ?"


I could see the panicked face of the King and everyone. Yes, of course, in front of me and Dad, this man clearly introduced mother as his wife. I didn't expect Rin's father to be that big.


I couldn't contain my emotions, I even consciously let out a killing aura, to the point that all the soldiers were on standby in front of the King and protecting him.


I was also ready to take out two swords from my inventory and fight it out if needed.


Suddenly a punch landed right in the mouth of my heart, which carried my body thrown and slammed into the door.


And ended up fainting.


I don't know what happened after that.


Suddenly I realized that my body was on the sofa in a room.


" My head is still a little dizzy. My stomach is still nauseous. Fucking momo !!!"


" What's wrong with me ?"


Momo entered the room with a face. In his armpit was Izumi who again needed help.


The girl sat on the sofa opposite with Izumi who was claiming her life.


" Woy, Momo what you meant earlier, didn't you realize you were getting in my way "


" hey.. Really ? but I feel that I have saved you from your stupidity "


" What do you mean ?"


Momo looked at me sharply.


" Are you stupid ?"


" Woy  !!" I snapped while hitting the table.


" Izumi help me "


I got up from the sofa to ask for an explanation, at the same time as Alan who entered while knocking on the door that was wide open.


" Can I come in ?" Ask while laughing.


Without further ado Alan sat on the bench next to me. Following behind him one by one the important people in this case sprang up.


Including the main culprit of the case this time. His Majesty the king.


The man sat in the chair against the window. Two heavily armed Military, were on high alert on both sides when I looked at him with a murderous gaze.


However, that person's face was not at all disturbed nor threatened, he even considered all of this like a mere joke.


I had a chance to argue with her once again, until finally a small-statured woman hugged me from behind and explained everything from the beginning to this misunderstanding.


Then...


" I'm sorry for the excitement I've done, I've smeared your family's good name in front of your loyal followers. I also apologize for ruining a crucial moment that has been bothered to be prepared by everyone. I'm sorry!!"


I'm Dogeza in front of His Majesty as a sign of my sincerity, I really feel stupid.


It was not wrong Momo hit me back then. I'll thank him later. If only I were alive.


But luckily I was not executed, with all the kindness of Your Majesty everything that has happened can be solved wisely.


In the future I have to be more careful in analyzing and making decisions. I don't want this shameful incident to happen again in the future.


*****


His Majesty the King led us to the next room where they had prepared a great feast as our welcome.


I don't know if it's tradition or if they like extravagance, just to welcome us who are nobody.


I followed His Majesty from behind when I entered the party hall.


Everyone is staring at us. Especially I was in the spotlight because of the previous incident.


Patiently Your Majesty explained most of the reasons for my rampage. And apologise on my behalf.


Not wanting to be called not knowing myself, I also apologized properly.


And the party went on again without any obstacles.


His Majesty resigned, because some important people from among the nobility seemed to be waiting for him.


In another corner, Mom is also gathering with teenagers and chatting coolly.


Father was also taken prisoner by other nobles and was caught in a boring conversation. I can tell by the look on his face.


Alan. Forgetit.


The remaining three of us, Izumi and Momo... Uh, where are they.


" suckin. I'm in residence. "


The foolish couple was instead trapped in a group of married women. They seem to be interested in Momo's clothes and pretty looks.


How not, his Gyaru makeup that always secretes his Pheromones hormone is too tempting every eye that looks at him.


Neither of the same kind nor of the opposite sex.


Izumi herself is currently trying to hide her murderous lust when men from other groups try to steal a look at her.


" Damn it, they left me alone and had fun with the others"


Now what am I supposed to do ?


Oh right, I haven't seen Rin since.


The main door opened as I was busy looking for Rin.


Long live, the person I was looking for appeared from there with a bodyguard I knew very well.


The main star is in the spotlight, with his magnificent kimono and elite makeup.


Waw...


Yes that's the right word for this amazing girl.


I didn't think she would wear a foreign traditional dress, rather than her own native land outfit at this big party.


This girl has always kept me from being amazed. Not only me, it seems like everyone present here will also agree with me.


" Rikun Rikun, how is my makeup this time?, Sweet right?"


" It's so sweet "I answered giving 2 thumbs up to him.


The girl's spinning fun. I didn't think the first person she greeted at the party was me, when there was someone else who was much closer to her earlier.


" Am I pretty ?"


" Such beautiful "I answered again. " Your kimono "


The girl puffed her cheeks instantly, turned back to gather with her servant and just started greeting everyone.


It's good to prank her.


" Hey you !!"


Feeling that it was me, I looked behind me.


Right there were 3 young men of my age who were putting on a proud look with his exorbitant style.


Even though their faces are good.


" What? Wanna fight?, can we go to the backyard!!" I drag the collar of the guy who looks like their boss.


" Thu.. Just wait!! "


They held my body, and their faces looked panicked.


I let go of my grasp and took them to the corner of the room, where if our conversation would not have been heard by anyone.


I waited for a moment until they were really ready with their arrogant babble.


" Huh, how rude. "


" You started "my own reply.


" aa.. What do you mean, rude master. We just say hello ?"


" Greeting?, by rebuking 'hey you'?"


" no.. Yes, it was true we were wrong at the beginning "


" And what do you want from me ?"


" Fortunate you asked. You. I hear you..."


Not yet had the person finished his sentence, I had already pulled his clothes in front of me.


" You..? You... ?! You...?!! once again calling me 'you', I broke your neck"


The man shivered with a frightened face. Although two of his friends were also frightened but they still had time to save him by trying to take off my grasp.


" W... But.. But I don't know your name yet.. Mister."


" Haha... If you don't know my name, at least you know the familiarity of getting acquainted, don't think I'm a fool. You guys think you can intimidate me with that houseboy's arrogant face, huh?!!"


Gyuts..


They shrank further in the corner of the wall as they hugged each other.


" Shameful "


The corner of their eyes began to water, actually I did not have the heart. But they must be told correctly how to behave with new people, so as not to disobey people.


No matter they are nobles.


" What do you want then ?"


" No.no, I forgot. Right I forgot, hehehe.. "


" Really ?" I know it's a lie, a cornered criminal always does.


" W.. Exactly, I forgot too.. So please let us go "


" Yes, see you"


I leave them, if I keep going they will really cry even they can wet the bed.


Not good for their mentality later, pity them, but still young.


I myself am also a little overrated.


But I'm Satisfied. Totally satisfied.


" What are you talking about ?" Kazu asked as I joined his group.


" Nothing, just throw stress "


" You're this, not usually "


" You know for yourself, all this is stressing me to the point of disgust" I complained.


" Would you throw it a little more ?"


" Ooo~~ Kazu, you really are my brother. I'll call you Aniki from now on."


" Please don't that one "


" Same onii?"


" I refuse"


" Outi chan?"


" Disgustful"


" Aniue ?"


" Huh.. Kazu alone, as usual "


" Cih, not fun as usual "


We also came out of the party room. Kazu led me to the training field, where the Guards and Soldiers used to train.


Luckily the place was empty when we came, so I would not hesitate anymore and let out all my grievances all along in my slash.


But at the end of the hall, without me noticing. Three pairs of eyes watched us tremblingly when they saw us exchanging slashes brutally.
