Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 43 - Mikawa City
"Grandfather Hyogoro, if you like you can stay at my house?" shugo shouted in the back.
Hyogoro's grandfather did not answer Shugo's question because he was focusing on riding a horse carriage so Grandpa Hyogoro did not hear it.
Azai who was sitting next to the horse coachman chuckled as he shook his head looking at Grandpa Hyogoro.
"Grandfather, when we get to the city, are we going to stay at Mr. Shugo's house or go straight to the grandfather's residence?" asked Azai who was sitting next to Grandpa Hyogoro.
"We stay first because we have to pay attention to the condition of Kuina and Nagato." replied Grandpa Hyogoro briefly.
"Well, it will be an honor for me." said Shugo when he heard the words of Grandpa Hyogoro.
"We're close." muttered Shugo as he closed his eyes.
"Litha, we've arrived!" Chiaki stood up from her seat.
"Whispering!" inner Nagato while trying to see Mikawa City.
As Shugo's carriage approached the city gate, dozens of warriors from the Kitakaze Clan immediately greeted him.
Unlike what happened in Yasai City, the city gatekeepers and warriors of the Kitalaze Clan guarding the Mikawa city gate immediately let them enter the city even to the point of welcoming Shugo and his Family.
"Grandfather, are they waving at us?" Azai was actually embarrassed to see many people who welcomed the arrival of their horse carriage troupe.
"They welcome Mr. Shugo, however the person who is with us is a great noble!" grandpa Hyogoro replied and looked unconcerned about the person who welcomed them.
Then they slowly entered Mikawa City, the buildings in this city look magnificent with several towering buildings, it looks like this city has many inns and some of the residents even have multi-storey houses.
The city of Mikawa included major cities in the Northern Province as well as the Kai Empire, this city looks alive because it has many residents even this city provides many dormitory lodging for aspiring warriors who want to register to become warriors of the Kitakaze Clan.
The horse-drawn carriage continued to walk towards Shugo's residence, they continued to enter the middle of the city, and there was a large enough city park even there was a fountain.
Not far from the city park, the residence of the Nobles We are seen with a large house even looks like a luxurious and magnificent villa.
When they were about to enter the residence of the Nobles of Kita, the carriage of Shugo's entourage had to pass through the gate that surrounded the territory of his residence there were even guards and some warriors guarding it.
Reto and Miake's horse-drawn carriage, different directions from the one they were heading to, because the residence of the Kitakaze Clan was on the outskirts of Mikawa City, where they lived, because the suburban region was perfect for the training of the swordsman disciples of the Kitakaze Clan.
Upon reaching the front of the mansion, Nagato and the others got out of the carriage one by one, Chiaki and Chaika smiled happily as the two little girls made it to their home safely.
Nagato who saw Shugo's luxurious house only fell silent while thinking for a moment, after which he approached Grandpa Hyogoro who got off the horse carriage.
"Grandfather Hyo?" sapa Nagato who was watching Grandpa Hyogoro relax his body.
"What's up, Nagato?" replied Grandpa Hyogoro who still continues to relax his body.
"Grandfather's house in the woods is it like this?" Nagato pointed at the luxurious mansion before him.
Grandpa Hyogoro laughed as he patted Nagato's shoulder slowly.
"Hahaha, Nagato have you dared to tease grandfather apparently?!" Grandpa Hyogoro laughed softly as he walked up to Shugo.
After that Chiaki and Chaika invite Litha and Nagato into her house.
"Come on Litha, Nagato!" chiaki shouted who was running in front of them.
"M-M-I'm sorry my brother is." Chaika held Litha's hand in shame at seeing her own brother's behavior.
"Hehe .. It's okay that I'm used to Chiaki's behavior." Litha smiled as she thought about the difference that was far between Chiaki and Chaika.
Chaika when embarrassed always holds the hand of people who for themselves already feel close to him and who only he knows.
Nagato only smiled faintly, then Haru walked beside him while greeting Nagato.
The servants working in the residence of the Nobles We welcome their arrival and then open the door and allow Nagato and the others to enter the house.
Nagato kept his attitude because it was the first time for him to visit the residence of a noble.
The female servants looked at Nagato while smiling at him.
"Aunt Haru?" greet Nagato to Haru who was walking beside him.
"What?" haru replied with a warm smile at the young man.
Haru sees Nagato who looks difficult to walk because his left leg is still in the process of rehabilitation because of a broken bone.
Knowing what Nagato was trying to say, Haru led Nagato to an empty room.
Nagato was a little embarrassed because Haru treated him like a child, but somehow some of him also felt happy.
Litha also followed Nagato from behind as the little girl was worried about Nagato's state.
After arriving at a spacious room, Haru told Nagato to rest before dinner because he saw the young man looking like he was holding back the fatigue of walking with a stick in his right hand, Nagato followed Haru's advice and laid down his body in a soft mattress after which he thanked Haru.
"I'll fill up relax my body first." Nagato's inner self as he closed his eyes slowly.
"Litha, will you accompany me tonight to the residence of the Kitakaze Clan, I want to see them practice?" said Nagato who saw Litha sitting on her bed.
"Yes, you rest first." Litha looked at Nagato while touching the young man's left foot.
Meanwhile in the residence of the Kitakaze Clan, Reto was being scolded by the Kitakaze Clan Elder for letting the young swordsman die just like that.
Reto is only silent and ready to take responsibility for everything he has done, and he has buried the dead warriors in Yasai City even Reto is ready to help the families of the victims.
The meeting between Nagato and the four geniuses of the Kitakaze Clan was in the next chapter. Thank you for reading and continuing to follow Kagutsuchi Nagato's story so far.
