PPFC 350 - A Map to the Land of Water
Fei Chen looked at a woman who was sitting while enjoying a warm tea and a snack. As the woman knows is Emi Kagura who is a former child of the Daimyo Land of Fire.
After her husband was murdered by the Shogun Raido, Emi Kagura lived alone and became a widow. Moving from one place to another to survive. Meanwhile, Hinatsuru is a girl who is very dear to him and has been caring for Emi Kagura since childhood.
“Mr Princess, our guest has arrived. He is Mr. Onigari.” Takamura informed Fei Chen and Ichiba's arrival.
“Sign in and sit down. What do you want to discuss with me Mr Onigari?” Emi doesn't want to talk.
“I myself have business to find my son. Where was he going this whole day? Makes me worry only.” Emi grumbled to herself right after Fei Chen sat down.
Ichiba himself did not expect that Emi was still alive. Ichiba used to work as a palace maid and repeatedly saw Emi. But since Sun Yelong's invasion, Ichiba heard that all members of the Kagura family had been killed.
“I didn't expect Mr. Princess to be alive.” Ichiba unconsciously said so.
Emi frowned looking dislike towards Ichiba's words just now. But after seeing the familiar look on Ichiba's face, Emi immediately recalled that there was a servant who often played with him and he was two years older than him.
While Ichiba was thirty-nine years old, Emi was thirty-seven. The two stared intently at each other before Emi finally remembered the figure of Ichiba.
“I-chiba? You're Ichiba, aren't you?” Emi seemed to smile brightly after clearly remembering the figure of Ichiba.
Ichiba smiles before Emi hugs him. The longing that had been both pendam finally channeled. Although Emi was a master and Ichiba a servant, the two were already friends.
“Mr Princess, I didn't expect you to be alive. Where have you been all this time? I didn't hear from you before this boy finally told me.” Ichiba wiped his tears and looked at Fei Chen at a glance.
Emi thought about hearing Ichiba's words just now, ‘Talk? He is Onigari, right? What is their relationship between the two of them being husband and wife?’
“I-chiba... Ichiba... Is he your husband?” Suddenly this question from Emi made Ichiba speechless, whereas Fei Chen felt that his existence was completely absent as the two old ladies were engrossed in enjoying their reunion.
Ichiba briefly stared at Fei Chen's mask. His face met in red and immediately shook his head, “He is not my husband, Mr. Putei.”
“Then she is your lover.” Emi reply.
“It...” Ichiba feels free to explain to Emi.
Seeing Ichiba who was disturbed and thinking Fei Chen was also disturbed, Takamura finally explained to Emi that Ichiba was Fei Chen's lover.
“Hah?!” Ichiba seemed to disagree while Fei Chen was silent.
Feeling herself being too excited about discussing Ichiba's relationship with Fei Chen out of curiosity, Emi finally switched the conversation.
“Thank God if you have a companion who can take care of you Ichiba.” Emi looks relieved, “Can I borrow your lover for a while this is Ichiba? I've heard that you formed a rebel army. So I want to speak four eyes with him.”
Ichiba doesn't mind, “Please, Mr. Princess.”
“You're not jealous?” Emi asked.
Ichiba shakes his head, “Of course not. Why am I jealous?”
It is precisely Ichiba's attitude like this makes Emi more convinced if Ichiba is jealous. Immediately Emi signaled Fei Chen to enter her room.
Fei Chen followed Emi from behind before the door of the room closed. Emi looked intently at Fei Chen who was looking at her room.
“I heard you wanted to make sure that I was the rightful heir of the Kagura family, right? You can prove it by having a special relationship with me or seeing a sign under my stomach.” Emi was about to take off the clothes she was wearing but was being held back by Fei Chen.
“I myself will continue my plan. I want to ask you about the route to the Ice Country. More precisely I want to go to the residence of the Fuyumi Clan.” Back Fei Chen added.
Emi's fleeting expression of surprise led Fei Chen to conclude that Emi had been to the Fuyumi family residence.
“I can tell you the route to the Ice Country but not the Fuyumi family residence. I haven't been there myself.” Fei Chen found out Emi was lying.
Fei Chen slowly removed his mask and showed his face to Emi. Emi was surprised to see the young Fei Chen.
Emi thought Fei Chen had an old face, but all was not as she had imagined. Emi looked at Fei Chen sharply and vice versa.
“I think you've heard it Madam. I need trust. I think you know something about the Fuyumi.” family Fei Chen sharpened his gaze and made Emi sigh.
“Alright, I understand. Apparently you're Mr. Onigari's coercor. But your face is like it's not Kai's.” Emi stood up while paying deep and meaningful attention to Fei Chen's face.
“Mrs Emi, do you want to know? I can tell you as a sign of trust between the two of us. But you should know, if there's something you should be better off not knowing.” Hearing Fei Chen's sharp words made Emi smile.
“I don't want to know. At least for now, maybe one day I change my mind.” Emi answered and took out a map and gave it to Fei Chen.
“One day huh? We don't know until when we live Mrs Emi.” Fei Chen smiled faintly as he saw Emi looking annoyed.
“Listen Mr. Onigari. I really hope for you, not all of you. I wish I could see this country free. I want to make sure at least for the rest of my life there are no more people suffering and starving in this country.” Emi put a map on the table while pounding it.
Emi's eyes were sharp towards Fei Chen who looked calm.
‘The same dream I had when I became Emperor Ma. A country where people don't feel hunger? I became finding a big reason to win this battle.’ Fei Chen nodded and smiled faintly because he did not expect that someone would have the same goal as him.
“Mr Onigari, come back alive and win this battle. If you succeed, I will match you with my son Hinatsuru.” An offer from Emi made Fei Chen want to laugh.
“Mrs Emi, I follow your will. You should know if I have twenty... Emm... Wait how much?” Fei Chen suddenly forgot the number of his wife and it made Emi chuckle.
“You don't have to lie to me Mr. Onigari. Take this.” Emi gave Fei Chen a map and asked Fei Chen to leave Ichiba with him.
“Mr Onigari, can you leave Ichiba with me? I want to chat a lot with him.” Ichiba asks for permission.
“Why did you ask me for permission?” Fei Chen frowned and stood up.
As Fei Chen walked about to open the door, Emi chased after him and tripped. Fei Chen caught Emi's body and the door opened showing Fei Chen hugging Emi's body tightly.
“Mr Princess!” Takamura and Ichiba were shocked.
A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing Ameko and Hinatsuru.
“Mother, I went home-” Hinatsuru was stunned when she saw Onigari being crushed by her mother's mature body.
And Ameko too. The man Ameko was looking for was now overstressed by another woman's body. For the first time, Ameko felt jealous.
While Fei Chen was about to justify his mask, his hand accidentally nudged Emi's breast.
“You!” Emi's eyes glared at Fei Chen.
“Sorry, I accidentally Mistress.” Fei Chen continued to justify his mask and looked at Emi's increasingly sharp gaze.
Ameko who is already jealous also cleared her throat, “Ehem! Until when did Princess Kagura make out with Mr Onigari?”
