Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 222 - Charge Time for a Day! Hot Water Pool!
The next day, the atmosphere in Daifuzen Capital became very calm not as crowded as usual. The news of the intruders coming from the Rakuza Empire and the Kinai Empire had also spread rapidly.
Satra learns of intruders who came to the Kai Empire such as Reptile and Commander Goro but not with the troops brought by the two men. Recalling Reptile's arrival to the Kai Empire only to kidnap Fuyumi Iris and look for a talented young swordsman to replace the thousand people who did not qualify for a peace treaty between the Ten Elders Kai and Emperor Orochi.
Even more ironically, Satra was not aware of the plans of Emperor Orochi who intended to kill Emperor Hizen. Not only that, Satra also did not know the actions of Gore who intended to stab him from behind or betray him secretly.
Gore intended to make Daifuzen the capital a test massacre with the army of savage humans he had gathered in recent years. The savage man who has possessed the power of the Beast and the Demon Beast is a human who has the power of a Holy Spirit.
Meanwhile, in the backyard yard of East Sun Lodging, part of the Fuyumi Clan inn, there was a young man who took off his clothes was breathing.
As usual Nagato filled his free time with practice. He practiced breathing after sleeping for only two hours.
Since he did not feel exhausted, Nagato still had a hard time forgetting the hell-like events. Where the fire burned everything including his father and mother. The old wound continued to gape in Nagato's heart even though the heart wound itself was not too dilated.
Nagato was now sitting cross-legged and processing breathing. His breathing is very calm. The sound of birds chirping accompanied Nagato's tranquility. In that calmness he heard the sound of a wooden sword swing.
Nagato's eyes opened slowly. Then he looked towards the source of the sound. "Hanabis?" Nagato looked at Hanabi who was training beside him.
Given that the lodging rooms of the Fuyumi Clan and the Misuzawa Clan were very close, so the backyard of the inn that became Nagato and Hanabi's laithan was still fused together and close together.
Nagato was now focusing on seeing Hanabi. The graceful Hanabi swordplay made Nagato's eyes not blink in the slightest.
"Why you?" Hanabi stopped her training and looked at Nagato while wiping the sweat on her neck. "From there, keep looking at me. Is there something wrong with my movement?"
Nagato himself had not expected to stare at Hanabi for very long. "I was just curious about the person who taught you that sword technique. Because of our movements, I mean our swordplay is pretty much the same."
Nagato stood up and patted his pants. Then he approached Hanabi. "Did Grandma Hana teach you?" Tanya Nagato made sure.
Hanabi looked at Nagato's face and the shape of his stomach which was said to be very exciting, but Hanabi was not interested in Nagato. The reddish-black haired girl looked at Nagato as usual. "It wasn't Hana's mother who taught this sword technique. But my brother's name is Matsuri." Hanabi replied while looking at the wooden sword she was holding.
"Matsuri?" Nagato had heard of the name. Misuzawa Matsuri was a student of her late father besides Hawk and Hayabusa.
Nagato said nothing more than stepping his foot away from Hanabi.
"Nligato!" Hanabi called Nagato's name. Then Nagato turned to look at the beautiful girl who was filled with sweat.
“I hope the next round we both meet. I want to fight you!” Hanabi again swung her sword and practiced after challenging Nagato.
“Heh? He's challenging me?" Nagato sat down and walked away from Hanabi. "Basic freak..” Batin Nagato added.
Today Nagato spends his time from morning until noon soaking in a hot pool. In his head he now keeps ringing Hayabusa's words.
"So Emi's grandmother's words were true. A person who possesses the power of a descendant of the Gods can bring about miracles by means of body-to-body." Nagato's mind while submerging his face into the water. Then he leaned back and enjoyed the sensation of the warmth of the hot pool.
"Are they after Iris because they want to get the miracle..." Nagato sat down while staring at the roofs covering the hot spring pool.
"Gee. Your iris is so soft."
"Litha, you too. And don't say anything embarrassing!"
Nagato flushed slightly on his face hearing the sounds of Iris and Litha in the hot pool next to where he was soaking.
Nagato quickly washed his entire body and put on a towel. Then he went out of the hot pool. In front of the door she saw Hika and Tika who were just wrapped around her body with a towel.
"Gee. Hika, Hika's. There's Nagato. She heard Litha's chat with Iris. Yeah, isn't it Hika?" Sontak Nagato stared intently at Tika and headed straight for his room.
Tika laughed softly while Hika was confused. Not long ago Iris and Litha came to the front door of the hot spring pool.
"Aika!" Iris immediately pinched Tika's cheek. "Where's Dragon? Did he hear my words?"
Tika was still laughing softly. "Dragon? Oh, Nagato. He's back." After that Iris took off the pinch of her hand on Tika's cheek.
"What did I say? What if Nagato doesn't see me as his sister again?" Litha muttered softly and confusedly.
"Rather than thinking that, mending us in and taking a bath." Hika pushed Litha and Iris' body.
"My return is great. Let's take a shower." Tika immediately preceded Iris, Litha and Hika.
The sound of laughter and joking in the hot spring pool sounded. The afternoon continued to pass and slowly began the afternoon, while in the living room Nagato was telling Emi, Hana, Namida and Owara about Hayabusa's words.
The four of them were surprised to hear Nagato's words, after finishing telling the story, Nagato glanced at the girl sitting beside Namida. Not long after she remembered the girl.
But the girl looked indifferent to Nagato even now she was weaving her face.
"If it's not Masayu's name wrong?" Nagato sat down and looked at Masayu.
Currently, Emi and the others were discussing the matter in the future. Even
last night's events have reached the ears of the Akaramizarawa Family. So that now thousands of military soldiers of the Kai Empire directly came to the inn that received suspicious people.
Nagato walked out of the living room and let the four clan heads chat inside. When it came out, Masayu followed himself from behind.
Nagato sat on the terrace of the inn. Then he turned to look at Masayu who was sitting beside him. "For a long time no see, Masayu," said Nagato.
Masayu smiled sweetly at Nagato. "I thought you forgot about me." Masayu looked at the handsome-looking face of Nagato.
"I remember. You were sleeping next to me when I fainted." Nagato remembered his past. Hearing that, Masayu's face turned red.
"Ehem!" Iris coughed softly and stared at the front yard of the inn. Looks beautiful girl was already wearing white clothes and a long white skirt with her hair tied up.
Even Litha, Hika and Tika also came with Iris. The four of them sat beside Masayu.
"Sister Masayu!" Litha directly hugged Masayu's body. "Old not see."
Masayu returned Litha's embrace. "Novelitha!" Masayu called out Litha's name and kissed Litha's fragrant hair.
Nagato silently observed the girls greeting each other and getting to know each other. It was not long before Nagato stood up and prepared himself for an early afternoon bath.
From late afternoon until evening, Nagato soaked in a hot pool. It was never thought at all in Nagato's mind if he spent time soaking in a hot pool.
When night fell, Nagato wore the same kimono as the kimono Iris and the others wore. Even Shirayuki was very concerned about dressing Nagato up to keep her appearance awake.
After arriving in front of the inn, Nagato saw Iris, Litha, Hika and Tika who were already dressed up pretty. Then his gaze looked at Kenji, Ninjin, Renji, Takao and Yuri who had come with Chiaki and Chiaka.
Not to forget Litha also invited Hanabi and Masayu. After that they set out together towards the middle of the city for a walk to fill free time by going to the night market in the capital Daifuzen.
