Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 149 - The Pain That Remains
Iris cried after reading the letter Asha wrote. As a woman, Iris could feel the pain Nagato and Litha felt. Guilt began to creep into Iris's feelings. Remembering him who has always been with Nagato since Nagato came to Samui Island. Iris felt guilty towards Litha because she was completely unaware of Litha's feelings towards Nagato.
Two days after hearing the news of Asha's death that shocked him so much, Nagato continued to train his physique to increase his endurance. Two days had passed, but for Nagato two days ago it was his nightmare to hear of Asha's death.
Meanwhile, after hearing the news of Asha's death. Until now Litha was still confined in her room, she was only accompanied by Iris who kept trying to comfort her. A day ago, Dorobo, Celes and Brushes returned to the Ashikubi Thief Base located in the Me region. Even the Hizen Emperor's family also returned to the Daifuzen Capital. Emperor Hizen's anger at Emi is so stirring, Emi gladly cancels Iris and Hiragi's betrothal after seeing the young man entrusted to Shirayuki look like Pandu and very promising.
Feeling rejected and toyed with her feelings, Hiragi intends to retaliate and vent his anger on Nagato. Especially after knowing the story from Hisui about Iris and Nagato who looked so close, Hiragi grew angry because Hisui continued to defend Nagato. Her beloved sister even said that she was willing to be second only to Iris. Hearing that of course Emperor Hizen and Yuki choked to see their beloved girl say that.
Hisui in the carriage was as comfortable - his own smile remembered Nagato who looked so handsome in his eyes as a prince who came from a far country. But there was a feeling in her heart that considered Nagato as her brother, and that feeling made her even more eager to meet Nagato again.
A feeling of emptiness and sadness still haunts Nagato. In his mind still clearly remembered how Litha who was stabbed by a knife in his stomach, in order to fulfill the last request of Asha who told him to take care of Litha, it made Nagato fixated on becoming stronger. Everyone could see Nagato as a genius youth, but they did not see how Nagato reached that level with his hard work.
Nagato tried to cut a large rock that looked solid, to become a swordsman like most warriors in the Ezzo Continent. Nagato continued to practice his sword skills, he tried various sword styles until he was finally able to create his own style of play.
In the snowy forest, Nagato stood in the middle of the snowy grass. His eyes only focused on the white-colored stone that looked crowed and filled with snow.
The horses were so soft, it was almost noticeable that Nagato was not doing the horses. The power to outwit the opponent was also an important element in a fight, Nagato belied all his inner strength on his legs, while both his legs were seen wearing horses - relaxed horses that looked so soft, so that if Nagato fought against the enemy then his enemy would not realize he had taken a swing.
"Laut of Fire!"
Nagato cried out a mighty cry in his heart and slashed his fire-covered sword towards the rock. His slash was able to cut the white stone that looks solid into two parts, while in the middle of the stone there is a blazing fire.
You always train hard, Brother Nagato. Try to dim your emotions a little, surely Nagato's sister will look cooler.
Nagato frowned, he was not aware of Asha's voice echoing in his ears and it was just a delusion of his subconscious.
"Whisper! I want to be strong not to look cool! Don't bother me!" nagato shouted back, slashing his sword and cutting the other stone.
The sound of Asha's laughter arrived - it suddenly sounded in Nagato's ears. Feeling himself being laughed at by Asha who was always bothering him, he slowly channeled his aura on his blade.
"Orangic Trajectory!"
Nagato cut three stones at once in one slash of his sword, after which he flicked his sword and sheathed it back.
"How's Asha?" Nagato smiled looking back.
Brother Nagato. You've always wanted to grow stronger than you were yesterday, do you want to be a hero and forget your grudges? You should enjoy this short life a little.
Asha's voice again re-echoed in Nagato's delusion and it made him turn to look for the source of the voice.
"I don't want to be a pah .. la... wan." Nagato's voice was held back from not finding Asha anywhere. Reality and an illusion make him still not accept with the death of Asha.
Nagato with a gloomy face returned to the Moon Snow Dormitory to prepare to go to Daifuzen Capital. Every step of hers sounded a silent footsteps.
Nagato bit his lower lip, his face flushed slightly considering he was talking to Asha.
"I don't deserve to be a big brother!" inner Nagato let out a shriek remembering her who was always yelling at Asha and hitting her.
In his deep sadness, Nagato realized that he could not stay like this forever. His limped legs continued to walk through the path, not how long he had arrived at the Moon Snow Dormitory.
All the gazes of the female swordsman who was having a meeting with Emi looked at the gloomy-looking Nagato. Nagato lowered his head looking at the snowy ground he was stepping on. The gaze of the female swordsman who continued to look at him sharply, made Nagato feel a little alone.
When his eyes were about to close, Nagato saw that smooth and white feet wearing sandals that had a rose decoration made his footsteps stop. His head tried to look straight, and he found the figure of a beautiful girl with long black hair on her back who was smiling gently at him.
"Dragon. You have something you have to protect, I will support you," Iris patted Nagato's shoulder and smiled at Nagato before leaving. Iris's smile makes Nagato realize that he must remember Asha's last request.
Nagato turned his head back to look at Iris who entered the Snow Flower House. The feeling of relief from seeing Iris who had always been encouraging him, made Nagato want to repay the kindness and warmth that Iris had given him.
His feet again stepped into the Moon Snow Dormitory. Arriving at the Moon Snow Dormitory. Nagato was greeted with smiles of Litha, Hika and Tika.
Nagato smiled faintly at Litha who had returned cheerful, then he entered the Moon Snow Dormitory and sat by the fireplace with Litha, Hika and Tika.
"Asha wants me to take care of you, Litha.." Inner Nagato saw Litha who was telling a story with Hika. His daydream was scattered by Tika's voice.
"Nagato, tomorrow we're going to Daifuzen. You will be the representative of the Fuyumi Clan with Litha" Tika reminded.
Nagato smiled faintly before answering Tika's words.
"Didn't the Fuyumi Clan only look like female warriors? How can I be a part of you?" Nagato asked Tika after hearing Tika's words. "If Litha is your joint representative, I am not surprised. But I'm a man, won't there be any strange rumors spread later?" nagato asked Tika again.
"Chairman Emi wrote the form letter. Nagato he wrote your name and Litha as your granddaughter. You two should have been very lucky, but we shouldn't let our guard down at this year's tournament." Tika stared intently at Nagato. His eyes looked at the fireplace.
"Three crownless young warriors and ten genius young warriors. We will meet them all in the Tiger Tournament of Kai." said Hika as her eyes stared at the fire in the fireplace.
Litha just kept quiet and looked at Nagato who was smiling faintly hearing Hika and Tika's words.
Nagato stood up and returned to his room to prepare for whatever he would bring to Daifuzen Capital.
