The Main Course Of The Battle
[UNREVISION] PART 10: THE PAST
“H...hiks..”.
“I'm sorry Seeji, I can't be next to you. But, I will always protect you and love you from afar.”
“Do not leave me...”.
---------
“So so... I accidentally brought Seeji to meet with his nanny first.
Takai straightened out what happened while folding both his hands.
“You may have forgotten my name, Seji.”
“Ya, indeed. But I used to call you..”.
“Rii – chan, right?”
“Ah..totally.”
“My name is Yuuri, I currently only take care of lodging.”.
Yuuri introduced herself, her hair was brown and she was more or less four-headed.
“Yuuri – san,”
“Seeji Utsuki, right? But I'd rather call you Seji.”
“Yuuri – san, she's Takai. He has accompanied me so far.”
“Good day, Yuuri - san! Nice to meet you!”
Takai introduced himself with his trademark smile.
“Good day, Takai. I was quite surprised when Takai brought you to sleep. At that time I did not realize that you were Seji.”
“Yuuri – san, he is indeed a sleepyhead...what since childhood has he always been like that?”
"Wear...!
“Hmm.. not really..”.
JDAAAK!!
Seeji steps on Takai's foot, which indicates that he is offended.
“A...Addaw...!”
“Oh, I just remembered! I still have pictures of Seeji when he was a kid. What if we see it?”
“Photo?”
“Yes, wait a minute. Let me take it first.”
Yuuri – san then went to pick it up.
“He looks happy to meet you, Seeji”
“When I was 7 years old, he didn't see me again. I think he's the same as the people who are afraid of me”
“I don't think he's that kind of person, he even saved your picture.”
“Entahlah... I don't know.”.
Yuuri – san then came with a book containing a photo album.
“I made all the photos and notes about you in one book. Maybe... now is the right time to show it to you.”
Yuuri showed it while smiling. Then they saw it. There were many pictures of Seeji when he was a child. Seeji looks as happy as a normal kid.
“It turns out that when you were little you were very funny yes, but when you were big..”.
“What?” Seeji showed his cynical look.
“W...wa…. Stare as usual.”.
They then opened the next sheet.
“Ahahahaha! You're a mess once!” they saw a photo of Seeji being overwhelmed by the ice cream he was eating.
“Seji does love ice cream, let alone chocolate flavor.”
Seeji was only silent because he was embarrassed, laughed at by Takai who was uproarious like that.
“Oh, it's appropriate that you don't refuse when I force you to take ice cream from me. So that time I gave you the right taste huh?”
Takai remembers giving her chocolate ice cream in the summer.
“Whispering ah! You gave it to him yourself!” Seeji offended.
“It turns out you still remember.. how about the day....”.
“?”
“Already, don't discuss.”
“Seeji! Again you behave like that!”
They then see a picture of Seeji reading or daydreaming with an empty face. And Seeji's face like that was more than one.
“Seeji, why is it that the longer, the more different your face looks in this photo? The longer... the more look sad.”.
They both just fell silent.
Seeji then began to ask why he should be locked up and not allowed to go out, and why people were afraid of him
“Seji... I don't mean to photograph you with such an expression... sorry..”.
“Yuuri san... i.” Seeji tried to remember
“It's okay - what Seeji... I understand...”.
Takai suddenly fixed his sitting position and closed his eyes.
“What do you understand, Takai?”
“Yah... you are adorable in this photo anyway...If I could pinch you...”.
“Hey, do you mean to mock me?”
“I mean to entertain you know!”
“Hm... very attentive.. what do not - do you not be Seeji's girlfriend?”
“It's not true.” Seeji refused while looking away.
“Eeeeh!! not so!”
Takai quickly rejected it and explained.
“I met him about half a year ago. I followed his trip because there was something we had to look for.”
“Takai, don't explain too much-”
“Hoseki, right?”
They are surprised. Yuuri knows something about hoseki.
“How do you know?”
“I've seen it in myself Seji.”
“Seeing inside me?”
“When I was 7 years old, I saw a blue gem come out of his body. Same thing when your mom just gave birth to you.”
“Ibook?”
“Yes. Your mother was a good friend of mine since childhood, She is a very energetic and pleasant woman.... May I tell you?”.
“Men...tell....?”.
Seeji found it strange to remember about her mother. There is no memory of his mother.
“Sorry but we can't waste time. I need information about Hoseki."
“Seeji..” Takai looked at her for a moment, Seeji tried to forget about her and prioritize his goals.
“Then....”.
“No, just tell me everything. We have plenty of time!”
Takai embraces Seeji. Seeji's hand reflex got rid of him.
“Takai.!”
“It's okay - what, Seeji... I don't mind...” Takai spoke in a seductive tone Seeji.
“Basic meddler.” Say Seeji slowly. Takai even grinned.
“You have also heard of my past, right? Now it's my turn!”
“It has nothing to do tau!” Seeji started to get emotional.
“Not to be ashamed.. I know you also want to know..”.
“By the way I wrapped your mouth around that!” Seeji replies to Takai with his demonic look.
“So.... how? San yuri? Seeji emang prestige... Just tell me..” Yuuri - san just chuckled a little looking at the two of them.
“Kh....!!” Seeji restrains emotions, dicuekin.
“Seeji, you are beautiful and tough like your mother, but your eyes look more like your father.”
“Yuuri - san..”
“Rinji, that's your mother's name.”.
flashbacks
“Yurii!!! Further!!”
“But..ini..”.
“Nothing....further more!!”
“Any enough?”
“Yes, stop there! Now it's.... 1.. 2... Release!!”
“Hait! Eh... ehhh!!” Yuuri fell behind”
“Yuri!! Aaahh!!” Rinji fell down the hill.
“Rin, are you okay?”
“Aw...aw...ah! Shadows stuck!” It turned out that they were flying a kite near a hill, and their kite got stuck in a tree.
“Come! We take!”
“Ahh...wait! Rin..”
Rinji climbed a tree to take his kite.
“Rin, stop. That's dangerous..”
“It's okay - what.... I saw! Hup! Eh?”
Rinji looks at the leaves that are different from the other leaves. Rinji took it, but the branch holding him broke and Rinji fell from the tree.
“Uuaaaa!”
“Rinjii!”
“Yah..the screen is broken..”.
“Rinji..you're not hurt anymore huh?”
“Yuri! Look!” Rinji showed the leaves he had taken earlier. It was the size of a book and the leaves were white as well.
“Uaah..beautiful once.”
“You don't praise me right?”
“Ya... the leaf you are holding I mean.”.
“Ohhh.
“Ah! I just remembered!”
“What do you just remember?”
“This tree ‘kan, which is in the storybook about the legend of hoseki!”
“Eh? Is there?”
“You know about this legend, right? In the story a magical hoseki gives his power to 7 children and saves the entire island from the bad guys. Hoseki it comes from a magical flower whose seeds are embedded and become a tree. According to legend the tree has these leaves.”
“Ohh!! I just realized! He said this tree also protects this island from bad people, right?”
“Yes, they said so. But a legend is still a story. Not many people believe this legend. Even so people also do not intend to cut down this tree fortunately.”.
“Wah! If this legend is real, it must be exciting right!”
“But I think it will be safer if everything continues to run normally only..”
“Hmmm..... I will save this leaf for research as well as my collection.”
“Research?”
“Yes! I'm always amazed to see jewels, even though toy gems are always in the stalls..”.
“Ahahaha..
“Moreover that can shine in the dark. If the Hoseki legend does exist, I want to research and find out about it when I grow up later”
“Eh... You've been thinking that far?”
“Of course! The future must be thought of from childhood! Let's not be confused about choosing the future path!”
“Rinjii..”.
“Waahh!! The sky is beautiful! What in the future the sky will be different?”
“The sky remains the sky... it is impossible to be earth..”.
“Ah... Yuuri.... alright...! Talk about the future, let's fight!”
“Compared? Again?”
"Who gets to town first he wins!”Rinji then ran down the hill
“Rinji!! You know, I was so bad in a quick fight!”
--------
“your mother is a cheerful person, and she likes to compete in any case.”
"Then the tree is said to protect the island..."
“It was behind a hill near your house, Seeji.”
“Oh..the tree is yes... But I guess it's just an ordinary tree.”.
“Your mother was very enthusiastic to see the sparkling leaves on the tree at that time.”
"It is certain that in the leaves something is stored..is the treasure in question between the hills of Hoseki? In the legend of the hill it is the sign of the fight.and the tree is the remnant of the hoseki flower...."
"Seeji..?"
Takai asked Seeji who concluded.
"If Hoseki is indeed real, it could be all the legends that are said to be real...."
“Oh yes.. if I think - think Seeji is not an energetic and cheerful person like that.”
JDDAAK!
“Uadaw....!!"
Seeji again - again stomped on Takai's feet, even harder.
“After that, what happened, Yuuri san?”
-----------
Yuuri is attending Rinji's wedding, with a soldier.
"Yuri!! You're coming!!"
She hugged Yuuri who was holding a boy.
“Waah..he is so funny...male - male yes?”
“Ya, like that.. but he's my adopted son..”.
"really?"
“At that time my husband was at work, and suddenly he heard crying. The crying came from this child. He wanted to have a child, so he and I agreed to adopt him as a child . I will take care of him as my own son.”.
“You are great, Yuu.. I hope you and your whole family can be happy...”.
“Sure... I also hope you will also be happy with your new family..”.
Rinji smiled and hugged Yuuri tightly
“Thank you for staying my best friend... until now.”.
“Rinji.”
“Yeah..although I admit I am a brat, chatty, reckless, and....so on, I'm glad you're staying with me.”.
“Nothing... I'm also glad to have a very passionate friend like you..”.
“Hm? Really?”
“Sure! How many times have you been injured or scuffed every time you played first huh?”
“Ehh! Yuuri, you remember!!”
“Of course!"
"Oh yeah, what's his name?”
“Rou.... Rou - chan.. wah.he smiled!"
"You know Yuu! Actually long ago I had planned the name..!”
“Name?”
“Yes! If female, her name is Seeji.. but if male.. her name is reeji.”.
“But... You just got married right...?
"That's the catchy name I think is best!"
“Hm..? Absorption?”
“Yes, that's an outside language absorption that is rarely known by many people is not it? Seeji (sage) and Reeji (rage)”
"You are different from everyone else..."
They laughed at each other, then Rinji looked up at the white clouds in the clear sky.
“Sunny day.... Yuuri....”.
“As usual you always see the sky day or night.”.
“If the sky lowers its power for us to solve the problem, can we use it well?”
“Eh? Rinji?”
“Ah...not what - what...! I can't wait to see what happens next.”.
--------
“I thought back then, Rinji had already started his research.
“He already knows the fact that Hoseki is a force that many people are after..”.
Yuuri fell silent and asked a question.
“Then..what did Hoseki appear when I was born? Where did that come from?”
-------
3 Years later...
“Okaa - san,”
“What's up...Rou - chan?”
“There is a strange..”.
“Any?”
“From there..”.
they saw something shining behind the hill.
“Not... That's the direction of Rin's house..”
Yuuri felt a bad feeling. He was worried about Rinji.
“What happened? Rou, I want to go out for a minute. Can you wait?”
Yuuri then ran towards Rinji's house.
‘What is this? Did something happen?’
PRAAAANG!!
When Rinji arrived, one of the windows of Rinji's house broke and emitted a blue light.
“Rin!”
As he entered the house, he saw Kagiri, a soldier who was Rinji's husband, come out carrying little Seeji, covered in blood and crying.
“Kagiri - san..”
“Sorry, Yuuri - san..”.
“Where is Rin?”
Kagiri simply glanced at the room next to him. As Yuuri looked at it, blood spots everywhere and saw Rinji covered in a white cloth that turned red with blood. Of course Yuuri was surprised.
“What happened.... Rin....” Yuuri sat down.
Seeji was not injured, the blood on his body was Rinji's blood.
“After...I finished my duty from Azurite, I came home as soon as I saw the blue light from here. But I was late, and she just gave birth to this child. Seeji Utsuki's"
“Rin.... Your son.. has been born.. he is beautiful like you... Rinji....!!.”
Yuuri was certainly very sad to see her best friend like that. Yuuri then carried Seeji and hugged him while crying.
--------------
“Since then I've always come to take care of you”
“Seeji..”.
"Did someone kill him...? Or is..."
"Nobody.just you..."
"That means blue hoseki did it."
"What?!"
Takai surprised. Seeji was silent without expression.
“What happened while you were taking care of me? San yuri? Then... why did you suddenly disappear?”
“The problem began when you were 7 years old. That's where I realized..
-----
"Happy birthday, Seji..!"
“Thank you...Rii - chan”
“Hm...Seji..”
"Rii-chan, can I go out and find a friend to come to my birthday party?"
"Eh?"
"The party should be festive right? As in this story, they feast and welcome the return of the princess..." Seeji showed me his most beloved storybook titled 'Rapunzel'
“Seji.. as long as the princess is happy... party need not be too festive..” Yuuri smiled at Seeji while stroking her hair elus.
"What if I'm being used like Rapunsel? Am I purposely locked up to make someone as immortal as in this story?"
"Of course not, there is nothing eternal in this world..... Besides, why does Seji like the story of rapunzel?”.
“I don't know either, Rii-chan... then he found out who he was and ran away with a thief. But I'm glad he finally met his real parents and was happy with his new dream.
"Hmmm...."
“The strength in his hair is also very extraordinary....! He can heal wounds, can shine, also hang on the tree with his long hair!!”
“Seji..
‘Yuri! Here!’
Yuuri recalled Rinji who used to play with her often and hung on a tree.
“He dared to run away from.... tower where he lived... How's my? Which is currently only inside the house and should not be out..”.
“Seji..”.
“People in this house... The maids and maids no one ever even glanced at me. only Rii-chan was with me. I just wanted to have a friend.”.
Seeji is starting to feel sad. Yuuri then wiped her tears.
“Do not worry. You just need time to stay here. Seji, let's blow out the candles and make a wish, look.... The number 7 will melt..."
"I wish I could go out and have a lot of friends and save a lot of people"
Fuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Seeji then blew out his candle while reciting his wish. Yuuri was confused by Seeji's wish.
"An interesting plea, but... saved a lot of people?"
"Really! If only I had a power, I wanted to save many people with that power! Like Rapunzel!"
Seeji stood up and turned around imagining the power within him.
"What kind of power?"
"The power that takes away sorrow!"
Yuuri gave a small smile, Seeji was still fantasizing about his strength.
‘He is still a child.. but his mind is to save others...he is similar to you Rinji.’.
"Everyone should experience sadness and happiness.There may not be such power, but there is the power to overcome sadness"
"What power is that?"
Seeji then watched Seeji with sparkling eyes - twinkle.
"The power of each other's hearts to be stronger and to make others happy"
"Don't worry Rii - chan! I will definitely have a strong heart to overcome sorrow and hatred!"
"Strays...."
The look on Seeji's face that had been excited immediately changed.
"Don't worry, you'll be out of here soon..." Yuuri hugged Seeji.
"I too.. want to hug my mother Rii - chan..."
"It's okay.you can hug Rii-chan, you're not alone.Look, a sunny day is still waiting to play with you"
"Rii - chan... don't disappear from my eyes yeah.”.
Evening has arrived. Seeji was already asleep, and Yuuri was still by his side keeping Seeji into a deep sleep.
"Beautiful month, Rin. I hope you can meet your son, he misses you."
Suddenly Yuuri saw something bright blue shining above Seeji who fell asleep. Hoseki came out of Seeji's body.
"What's this?"
Yuuri who was afraid that it hurt Seeji tried to get rid of him. Then he touched it.
DEGGS!
"D-where?"
Yuuri was in the middle of a war. And in his vision, he was holding a sword and slashing at someone in front of him.
CRAAT!
Red blood splashed towards his face. Yuuri was certainly surprised.
‘Calm down, although this will hurt’
Rinji heard a voice. But after that he felt a tremendous pain befall his body, as in his vision his hand let out a light and took something from the person he slashed earlier.
“Hhh...hhah.
SRIIIIING!
The jewel shone even more dazzlingly, Yuuri was out of breath because of what she had experienced after touching the jewel. Arriving from the door someone came.
“Yuuri!”
Kagiri immediately restrained Yuuri's body which lost its consciousness. He then covered Yuuri's mouth and nose using a handkerchief.
"Yuuri breathe!!"
"Hhh...Huh!"
Yuuri opened her eyes, and looked at Kagiri in front of her with a worried face.
TRAAAC!
Hoseki whom Yuuri touched fell down. Seeji suddenly took a breath and felt pain.
“Aghh...hah!”
"Strays...."
Yuuri tried to get up and hold her body with her hands.
“Yuuri - san, are you okay?”
“K...Misaki.san... Seji..”
“Almost... if I'm late, Yuuri's soul may have already been taken"
‘That vibration... that one....’.
Yuuri was unconscious.
“Yuri! Hang on!”
Yuuri then woke up after
he was in a coma for a few days.
“Yuuri! Are you aware?!”
“K...Kagiri - san?”
“Thankfully nothing bad happened.”
“Seeji... A coolie! What about him?”
“I locked him in his room.”
“What? Stocked it? She's alone there?”
“Yes."
“Seji can't be alone in such a big room! You can't let it! He has no friends or anyone! At least get someone to accompany her!”
“I can't!”
“Then let me meet him..”.
“Can't!”
“Why?”
“Yuri! Look atyou! your soul is almost absorbed by the hoseki you touched!”
“H...hoseki?!”
“Seeji has the power of hoseki in his body.”
“Cannot... Isn't that just a legend?!”
“Then, if it's a legend, what did you touch back then?!”
Kagiri snapped at him, Yuuri who insisted was no longer able to reply to the words. Kagiri then shows Hoseki to Yuuri who wrapped him using a handkerchief. It was about the size of a pinkie, and it glowed small.
“This is, Seeji”'s blue hoseki
"No. maybe..."
Yuuri was really hard to believe it, until words rang - Rinji said about the legend.
‘I want to find out about the legend of hoseki! It would be nice if it was real!’
“Rinji..”.
Yuuri's tears fell again, as she recalled her best friend smiling in her mind.
“Before he died, he had a chance to say about hoseki to me.”
"Was... Rinji..."
"Somehow..hoseki blue could have been with Seeji back then.and I suspect, it was Hoseki who caused his death."
"Don't think so! Kagiri's...! Hoseki...."
"In legend, hoseki is a weapon that makes criminals conquer, but all that changes when misused."
"Sure.san..."
“When I came, a blue hoseki shone in front of your face in great pain. I stopped him by making you breathe this handkerchief.”
“Sweep hands?”
“In my handkerchief there is a powder from the leaves that Rin studied... The leaves that Rinji had stored in his research, it seemed like he had turned the leaves into powder, and this leaf powder was no ordinary powder. I've guessed something's awkward”
“But... Seeji wants me to always be in her eyes. I can't just leave her.
“Did you forget about Rou?”
“Eh?”
“Some days ago he he he was attacked."
“What..?”
“But, it's fortunate that he was able to recover in a short time. Although the impact on his head made him myopic... He wasn't disappointed even if you didn't see him. He believes in you.”
“R..Rou..”
“Don't forget the precious thing. Yuuri-san, someone else needs you. Someone more important to you.”
“Then... What are you gonna do to Seeji?”
“For the time being, I'll lock him up. I can't let Hoseki's powers wander. This is our secret.”
“Why.... why don't you accompany him as his father?”
“Dragon yourself, Yuuri - san. Thank you"
