"So she knows who you are?" Michikatsu asked as she leaned back into her chair. The elder Brother's eyes narrowed at his sister who scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously. “We can't let this be left alone. As you said, he is a part of Night Raid that is currently not an ally.” Michikatsu said to Yoriichi who sighed seeing his sister's way of thinking.
"I trust him, sister, he promised not to tell anyone who I am." Yoriichi tries to convince his brother not to take drastic action against the group of assassins. "Can you trust me on this? Please." Please." Yoriichi asked. He was afraid of what would happen if his older brother decided to attack anyone but himself. Michikatsu glared at his sister, it was obvious that he did not like to trust someone he himself had never met.
"good. But once he betrays your trust, I won't hesitate to end his life." Michikatsu said as he stood up and left his sister alone. As he walks out of Ruma, he meets Spear who is training with a weapon named after him. "Spear, do you mind coming with me to buy some supplies?" Michikatsu asked him.
The blonde girl stopped her training and wiped the sweat on her eyebrows. "Of course, Michikatsu, let me change" he said running past Michikatsu and into Rumaj. The samurai did not have to wait long before Spear returned to his usual attire.
"Ready?" Michikatsu asked the girl who nodded with a smile. "Then let's go." Michikatsu said as he walked through the gate of the House with the girl by his side. Spear stared at his savior's face as they made their way towards the city. Ever since he saved her, it was Michikatsu who provided everything she needed from training to things like clothes. He wore a high-collared light purple shirt with the Moon symbol on the back between the shoulder blades and black pants.
"So why are you asking me to come with you? Don't you usually do this?" Spear asked Michikatsu who was looking at him from around him. From what he saw, Yoriichi usually went alone to buy whatever they needed while they were training or working.
“You have done nothing but practice and walk around the base since I brought you there, I thought it would be better for you to spend some time in the Capital.” Michikatsu told him. Spear was a bit confused because from what he saw, Michikatsu was not someone who would do this.
"is that true?" Spear asked Michikatsu. She can almost feel her confusion.she admits that what she is doing is very out of her character but she feels as if she deserves some time in the atmosphere she used to do. Michikatsu nodded, causing him to smile. "Thank you." He said to the Samurai.
"my brother said there's a parade today to celebrate the birth of the first emperor." Michikatsu said as he looked at the city in the distance. "Let's hurry." Michikatsu said as he placed his hand on his shoulder and disappeared behind the whirlwind. The two appear inside the house Yoriichi bought inside the city.
Spear stumbles slightly due to a sudden change in location and falls into the body of the Samurai. His eyes widened before he retreated from her with a reddened face. "I'm sorry." He said as he bowed to the black-haired Samurai who did not seem to mind at all.
"Let's just go." Michikatsu said in the same monotonous voice he always used. The two left home to see people rushing to a larger street where a large vehicle passed by. Beside him were several booths selling items ranging from food to useless items such as pins and pictures. Michikatsu noticed the girl running into one of the booths and bought two boxes filled with round candy.
Spear ran back to him and handed him one of the two boxes. Michikatsu picked up the box and looked at the little candy curiously. Taking one, he put it in his mouth to try it. His face turned sour because of that sweet taste. "What's up, Michikatsu?" Spear asked as she tried one of the snacks from her box and found nothing wrong.
"I don't like sweet things." He answers. But as he passed through the crowd he saw three girls led by a short blond man. “Spear, will you go on a mission with me now?” He asked while looking at the man walking through the crowd. From the look on the girl's face they look happy but on the other hand the man is not happy. Even if it means he doesn't care about human life.
Spear smiled and nodded. Although he wanted to enjoy the festival, getting the chance to go on a real mission with his manager was an opportunity he should not miss. "So what are we going to do?" He asked the Samurai who was walking through the crowd towards the man.
“We'll check something.” He said as he approached the man. The two followed the man out of the crowd and were now able to see the three girls he led. The first was a girl who had pink hair and eyes. He was wearing a pink raincoat with a matching hat and boots. Next was a girl with a body that was similar to a pink haired girl but had copper hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing an orange raincoat and a matching pair of boots. The latter was another girl who had dark blue hair and light blue eyes. He was wearing a blue raincoat with a rabbit-like earplug and a matching pair of boots.
“Why do we follow them?” Spear asked Michikatsu who covered his mouth with a finger as he watched the man walk into a large building that could be recognized from the others. He let out a small scream as the Samurai lifted him up and jumped on top of the building. "What are you doing?" He asked as Michikatsu made a smoke bomb. In the puff of smoke she was no longer wearing street clothes, but rather in her Tsuki disguise.
"Spear from now on call me Tsuki." Michikatsu said he summoned a second robe and put it on Spear. "It may be nothing but I don't need like Yoriichi to know that something is wrong." He told her before putting a bomb on the roof of the building. Michikatsu runs and picks up Spear and picks him up, the bomb explodes creating a hole in the roof. Spear blushed due to the close distance between him and Michikatsu. The way he carried it, he could feel his slender chest while he was sure he could feel the *********** pressing on him.
Under the pit he could hear screams of pain and anger. The two separated from each other after the explosion passed. Michikatsu opened his lower arm which gave rise to his sword and spear. Spear picks up a weapon of the same name and follows Michikatsu into the hole.
The first thing he noticed was the way the men dressed in the building. Most were dressed as street thugs or criminals. One of them ran straight towards him but was killed quickly by Michikatsu's slash which had just beheaded a man. Strengthening himself, he attacked one of the men and stabbed into his chest. Blood splattered on his body as the sharp end of his weapon pierced straight into the thug's body.
Thanks to the hard training with Michikatsu and the Imperial Fist instructor, he could ignore being covered in blood. He put his foot on the man's body and kicked the corpse out of his gun. He swung his weapon like a bat that dropped two men. He finished off one of them by thrusting his spear into his heart. The second stood holding his head but was killed when Michikatsu appeared in front of him and split his body in half with Nichirin's sword. "Let's get this over with." Michikatsu said as he pointed his sword at one of the men. "the moon's breathing moves" He muttered as his sword shot forward and pierced through the man's head. Spear nodded and thrust his weapon at the two men.
This duo managed to defeat the remaining people and started moving to a lower level. As they walked, they heard the screams of one of the girls. From where the shout came from, they were on the other side of the wall beside them. "Michikatsu, we have to hurry!" Spear shouted as he heard cries of pain.
Michikatsu nodded and kicked at the wall separating them from the room where the girls were being held. Spear gasped at how destructive it was. Usually from the stories he heard, it was Yoriichilah who did something like this while Michikatsu was much cleaner. “We must not waste time.” Michikatsu said as if reading his mind.
POV from the other side
The blond man had earlier witnessed one of the men who had just sold the girls was about to remove the blue haired girl's eyes. One of the men had broken the copper-haired girl's leg. "It's a shame." He muttered as the man prepared to let go of the poor girl's eyes.
But before he could do so, the wall to the right exploded inwards. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the newly created hole. The sound of metal rattling sounded from the other side. The sound of footsteps echoed into the room as the purple-colored Nichirin Sword appeared behind the dust. “It looks like we got here just in time.” The man said before a spear shot out from the cloud of dust and stabbed the man holding the weapon into the girl's eyes.
Michikatsu waved his hand at the group of men in suits who attacked him. The men had no idea what happened when hundreds of tiny crescent moons came out of Michikatsu's slash and tore it apart as it flew through their bodies. Spear who had just stabbed the neck of a man turned his attention to a dog who came to him. Removing the spear in his hand, his arm extended outwards and pierced through the dog's skull with his bare hands. As his arm was pulled, he felt a burning pain spread throughout his body.
Two men attempt to kill him from behind only for Michikatsu to move between him and them. Michikatsu sliced it like a hot knife through butter. Blood poured from the wounds that splashed on the three teenagers. “I told you not to try it first.” Michikatsu sounded annoyed. After learning that he had trained in the same style as the woman he was fighting, he tried to teach her how to do the same thing they were capable of. It was a short-term success because they quickly found out that he was capable of doing so but due to lack of training caused him a lot of pain.
"I'm sorry." He grimaced as he took his gun. Michikatsu smiled behind his mask at how tough the girl was.
"Basic ******! You killed my dog!" one of the men who seems to be in charge. Spear lifted his spear and stabbed the nose and the back of the man's head. The Samurai grinned and he shot past him and killed the other two before they could escape.
"Now it's done." Michikatsu said as he walked over to the group of three. Spear reaches them before him and begins to examine the yellow-eyed girl whose leg is broken. "There's not much we can do right now. We'll take them to the hospital after we finish off whoever's left in this building." Michikatsu said to Spear before walking away.
"Wait!" The pink haired girl shouted at the retreating Samurai who stopped in the middle of a step and looked back as a sign to continue speaking. He did that. “Please take us with you. Even if we were sent to the hospital, we would be left on the streets.” He begged the Samurai. The other two stared at their friend before staring at Michikatsu with hope in their eyes.
"What do you mean?" Spear asked before the silent Michikatsu could answer by himself." I mean, weren't you kidnapped?"
The blue-haired girl shook her head, "No, we were sold by our village due to a huge debt. If we go back, we'll just be sold to the next guy. It should be our buyers who support us." The blue haired girl explained to the two.
"Tsuki we can't just let them go." Spear said to the teacher and his nanny. Michikatsu breathed. “What would your sister say if she knew you left them like that?” He asked as the three looked at the masked man.
Michikatsu sighed, "We are not a charity. We already have you and two other people living with us. We don't have a place for so many people." Michikatsu tries to explain to his surroundings. The three girls looked disappointed that they had nowhere to stay. Spear looked back at the three before looking back at Michikatsu.
"I'll give up my room." Spear said to Michikatsu. Michikatsu sighed as the four girls working together gave him the saddest look he had ever seen. 'Even Michikatsu can't refuse four pairs of puppy eyes.' He thinks in his heart.
"NO." Michikatsu's words were completely unaffected by his appearance. "We have no room for vagrants" Michikatsu told them. Does he feel sorry for them? Yep. But he could not justify himself by letting the three girls stay in their headquarters. Even the three people who were there now he was fighting at first included Spear.
"We promise we won't live free. We'll work for you! We can clean and take care of your homework! We can even cook for you and Tsuki!" one of the boys tries to give Michikatsu a reason to let them go with them. It was not that he really wanted to remain a servant remembering what they had just experienced, but it was better than starving on the streets.
"Michikatsu please let them stay with us!" Spear said before closing his mouth. It was his last attempt to try to get Michikatsu to accept them. The only thing Michikatsu cares about more than keeping their secrets is his best friend which means now he will kill them or accept them. Sasuke's head jerked towards him. 'I can't believe I just did that! I'll take it now!' He thought as Michikatsu's eyes narrowed at him.
Michikatsu breathed defeat. “They can stay.” Michikatsu is growing up. Now that they knew his name, he was forced to be cornered. There was no way he could just let them out to the public by knowing his real name. So far there's only one Michikatsu in town and that's him. If they reveal that Tsuki is Michikatsu who works at the Cafe with Yoriichi, they will easily connect her with Yoriichi.
The four girls cheered in unison as the Samurai finally accepted them. Michikatsu sighed as he walked away to vent his anger at having a powerful weapon to receive three more girls to their base.
When the group of five arrived home, Yoriichi could not help but laugh at the sullen look on his sister's face. He has just heard what happened from Spear and the fact that he managed to force Michikatsu who is currently the strongest person after himself that he knows. "Damn brother. If you keep this up, you might end up with a harem!" Yoriichi joked a lot that made the four girls disappointed. Michikatsu frowned at the unpleasant joke and walked past them.
"Don't mind him, kid, he's just pissed about being played." Yoriichi said as he chuckled while leading the group of girls into the house. "We have two other people living with us. One of them is named Sayo who usually helps me work on various things while the other is none other than Sheele of Night raid. He just recovered from the accident he had when we found him." Yoriichi said before looking towards the copper-haired girl's feet.
"Oh yeah, Michikatsu said you could cure my friend." Said the pink girl to Yoriichi who smiled warmly at them and nodded. Of the three new girls, the one in blue blushed in embarrassment at how kind the blonde was. 'It seems like Luna has a crush.' he thought before looking back at Yoriichi. "By the way, I'm Airi. My friends here are Luna and Fal. Please take care of us." He said while bowing.
"It's nice to meet you three. My name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni" Yoriichi said as they arrived at an empty room. Yoriichi opened the door and let them into the room. The inside of the room was empty except for a few empty scrolls on the wall. Yoriichi took Fal from Spear's shoulder and laid him on the floor as gently as possible. "Now let's fix it." Yoriichi said as an energy shot out from his body.
The four girls gasped at the power Yoriichi was giving them now. A feeling of peace filled them as Yoriichi smiled at the copper-haired girl and placed his head on top of her broken leg. The girl gasped as she felt the bones in her legs improve. When he finished, Yoriichi defused his mysterious energy. "Whoa" was the only word Fal could utter to describe the event that had just happened before him. He slowly tried to stand up and his legs went numb. A group of girls are amazed at the level of healing that Yoriichi can perform.
“If you think this is impressive, you should have seen it when I finished Sheele.”'s legs Yoriichi laughed out loud in surprise. The achievement he had just achieved was a miracle in itself for them, they could not even imagine him regrowing one's legs. "Now the three of you have gone through a lot today so please take some time to rest." Yoriichi said before leaving with Spear. "can you check my brother for me Spear?" Yoriichi asks his blonde-haired colleague who nods and goes to Michikatsu's room.
Yoriichi watched her walk away before putting on her mask and entering Sheele's room. For the past few days he had been healed enough that he could return home in a few days. It is troublesome to hide his identity from her but as her Brother said, we cannot trust him at the moment.
