Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 124 - Dorobo
Dorobo is the most respected person in Ashikubi. Dorobo was taught by Grandpa Hyogoro how to survive. Most of the inhabitants of the Me region were captured by the noble guards and made into slaves. Anyone born in Me has no future but to survive in such a harsh and cruel world.
Each region of Me is led by each criminal and Ashikubi led by Dorobe with members of the thief. Today Dorobo invites Nagato and Litha to learn how to survive and learn how to become a thief.
The first thing that came out of Nagato and Litha's mouth was that they both rejected her firmly. Dorobo let out a long sigh looking at Litha who looked like she had contracted Nagato delinquency.
"Sir Nagato, I don't think you deserve to be a thief so you better teach me how to sword techniques yesterday." Asha pleaded with Nagato while holding both of Nagato's legs.
Dorobo frowned because yesterday she did not see Asha. A number of questions arose in the mind of Dorobo who saw Asha pleading with Nagato.
"Oi boy, do you know where you are now? If you know Dorobo the Ashikubi Thief then get out of my sight right now!" Dorobo snapped at Asha and wanted to expel her for taking care of Nagato and Litha alone had made her a hassle especially with the presence of an unknown child like Asha.
"I'll catch you." Asha replied softly as she looked at Dorobo.
"What did you say?" Dorobo stared coldly at Asha.
"I'm gonna catch you village thief!" tease Asha and take refuge on Nagato's back.
Dorobo was provoked by his emotions and was about to hit Asha but Litha held him back. Nagato let out a long sigh as he was also a little annoyed at the rant coming out from the mouths of Dorobo and Asha.
"Take off Litha! This kid I have to skin let him know the taste !" Dorobo burst into emotions and looked like she wanted to pounce on Asha.
Asha held Nagato's stomach tightly in fear. Litha pushed Dorobo's body away from Asha.
"Dorobo, looks like this kid comes from a rich family. We better match the information about his family." said Nagato in a calm tone deliberately scared Asha.
"Eh?" Litha was shocked to hear Nagato's words.
"Well, boy I've guessed your face looks like an Azbec and Ellesmere..." Dorobo approached Asha slowly.
"Bad! You sold me Nagato's sister. I'll be a hero and catch villains like you two!" asha shouted at Nagato and Dorobo.
Nagato hit Asha on the head and made her cry. Litha breaks up Nagato who looks like he wants to beat up Asha.
"Surely speaking nonsense, in this world there is no such thing as a hero!" nagato snapped when she saw Asha crying.
"Stop crying, crybaby!" added Nagato.
Dorobo was confused to see Nagato and Asha fighting. It was not long before Dorobo called his men and told them to buy wine.
"Nagato don't be rude to Asha..." Litha breaks up Nagato who looks like he wants to pounce on Asha.
Day after day passed, the more Nagato grew annoyed with Asha's behavior that always shouted the word hero. In the morning the three of them adventure through Ashikubi and Me region, by noon the three of them take shelter on a large tree to see the scenery and when by late afternoon the three of them go hunting.
Nagato and Asha always fought to see the extent of their development, out of the hundred battles they did Asha never won at all from Nagato. Until one day when Nagato, Litha and Asha went to the outskirts of Me territory called Kakato, there the three of them met a middle-aged man who was caring for a wounded flying lion.
Nagato looked at a middle-aged man with a body that looked burly and gray-haired. Nagato told Litha and Asha to observe the middle-aged man from behind the tree.
"Who is he? I sensed that the old man was not a random person." Nagato murmured softly.
It was not until Nagato's two seconds, Litha and Asha came out from behind the tree. Nagato felt a gripping aura even though he could not see and feel it.
"The room!" shouts Asha pointed at the middle-aged man who intimidated her.
"I didn't think we'd meet here." added Asha before running and hitting Bhishma.
Nagato and Litha were surprised to hear the name of Bhishma because they both read a newspaper about the article of the Five Sovereigns named Bhishma.
Bhishma easily held Asha's hand and slammed her. Nagato still could not believe seeing Bhishma but he was more surprised to see the large winged lion.
"How did you get to know him?" nagato asked Asha. However, Nagato does not yet know Asha's true identity.
"I knew him a few weeks ago Brother Nagato." replied Asha proudly then he explained to Nagato as Asha escaped from the residence of the Fang Nobles in Azbec, which was located in the city of Azbec, at that time the bisma was always protecting her. The meeting of Bhishma and Asha was also unexpected because at that time Asha saw Bhishma who was burning fish and asked her for help.
Asha explains to Nagato if he got lost in the forest and parted with Bhishma so much that he almost captured the soldiers from Azbec.
"Asha, there's one thing I want to ask you. Why did you run away from your house? Aren't you a noble?" nagato asked Asha.
"I am not free at home. My parents and my siblings bought slaves and tortured the slaves they bought. I was against my family's actions but they took my words as a joke." Asha told Nagato.
"Azbec is a sad country. A king who cooperates with criminals does not deserve to be king. Black Madia and Magma have always used their powers arbitrarily - mena." Asah added.
"So that's why you want to be a hero?" sahut Litha after hearing Asha's words.
Nagato was silent for a moment after hearing Asha's words. Many questions Nagato wanted to ask Asha but she preferred to undo her intentions.
Nagato wanted to ask about the news of his mother and father, although physically Nagato looks good - fine but his body still hopes if his parents are still alive.
"I will become a hero and capture my family with Magma and Black Madia" Asha replied as she stared at Litha sharply.
"Free. You never beat me. You should be lucky to still have parents. Escape from home? You think life is easy?" sahut Nagato stared intently at Asha.
"It's not always that having a family is happy. It is precisely because we are still a family that is the most painful destiny." replied Asha and turned her face to the side not seeing Nagato.
Nagato smiled faintly at Asha's reply as he only wanted to hear Asha's true heart.
"If you want to be a hero then I'll be a villain." joked Nagato while squeezing Asha's hair.
"Sir Nagato idolized Hiryuu too much! After all Hiryuu is a dangerous criminal and I will catch him one day!" Asha pushed Nagato's body backwards.
"What did you say?! Tell me that after you beat me fucking!" nagato snapped at Asha's stomach.
Asha cried after her stomach hit Nagato. Not long after Bhishma fed the flying lion with raw venison.
"In the Ezoo Continent there are interesting children. Hiryuu, it seems like I saw the child who inherited your determination here." Inner Bhishma stared intently at Nagato.
