even the knuckles of her hand were dusted pink from her embarrassment. she noticed how easily shuichi was able to open the door, and she envied him (only a little). “s-shuichi...!” she said, tripping over her feet from the brisk pace he was walking in. he must’ve been too caught up in his own thoughts since she got no response. she clasped her other hand around his as they practically ran to the dining hall. once they got there, all eyes were on them. holding hands. she immediately took her hands away from his, both of her arms parallel with her torso. she bowed awkwardly and shuffled over towards a seat. the one next to her was empty, and she looked up and shuichi to see if he was going to sit there.

ryoma shot them both- well, mostly shuichi- a glare. a look akin to a father telling his daughter’s boyfriend, “if you hurt her, so help me god...” when the door slammed open to reveal miu (and a cowering kiibo behind her) fumiko got so scared that she pushed her chair backwards, rolling onto the floor. she laid there for a second, wallowing in her own stupidity before getting up. kirumi rushed over, “are you hurt? is everything alright?” fumiko nodded, just wanting this all to be done and over with.

“attention, everyone. i believe there is something wrong with miu. i found her on the floor of the dormitories, wheezing. she hasn’t stopped since we left!”

“e-everything’s alright robo-dick, i-i just- HAHAHAHA” her laughing started up again when she got a glance of the couple “friends” sitting next to each other. “you guys will NOT believe what i saw this morning!”

“that’s enough.” said ryoma, his voice intimidating the taller girl. despite his size, that man was terrifying. “y-yes sirrrr....” she muttered, confidence seeming to fade away in an instant as she found a seat at the dining table. kiibo just stood there, completely confused as to what just happened. to be fair, everyone had a similar look of confusion, but kiibo’s was the worst. rantaro quirked an eyebrow, wondering if this was about what he thought it was...

“alright, everyone’s here, yes? please, tell me what you’d like for breakfast.”

multiple shouts of “eggs” or “toast” overlapped, yet kirumi was able to keep track of all of them.

“ICE-CREAM!!!” yelled kokichi, who had a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, neither of which are utensils to eat ice-cream with. fumiko, who had spent most of her life feeding herself, perked up at the mention of ice-cream. it wasn’t rare for her to have such foods for breakfast, normally, so she spoke.

“a-ah, can i have some too! c-chocolate if that’s okay...!”

“CHOCOLATE FOR ME TOO! WITH CHOCOLATE SYRUP AND SPRINKLES!”

kirumi nodded, jotting it down on a little notepad as if she were a waitress at a restaurant. “and what would you like, shuichi?” she asked, writing down his answer as well before giving everyone a smile and heading to the kitchen. once again, fumiko fell out of her chair when she felt a pair of arms hook under her armpits and lift her. well, trying to lift her, at least.

“there’s only room for one chocolate-eater in this town, partner...” they both ended up on the floor, as kokichi had pretty much been wrestling her. “h-hey!” she said when he pulled her hair. she started fighting back, rolling around on the floor (which was thankfully clean, thanks to kirumi). the other captives had gained interest, some yelling at kokichi to stop. she eventually managed to push him down, straddling him, giggling as she looked down. “what’re you gonna do now, cowboy? that chocolate ice-cream is mine!” she said in a bad country accent. when he opened his mouth to speak, she took his scarf and flipped it over onto his face, muffling his over-dramatic cries for help.

kokichi was glad that she wasn’t mad at him. and, in all honesty, he didn’t think she was so bad. even in a situation like this, he was allowed to make friends, right? (*laughs in playing v3 and watching kokichi push away everyone who wanted to get close to him*) she let go of his scarf when he pretended to die, all of his flailing limbs falling to the ground as he tilted his head to the side. her hands were at either side of his head, looking down as she laughed, unaware of how things might’ve looked.

-teapot anon (your status had me whEEZING)(ALSO DONT MAKE FUN OF FUMIKOS TWIG ARMS >:( /j)(so basically i didn’t know where this was going you gave me too much freedom with the last one so i just wrote words)(hope they’re good words <3)

Ice cream? It hardly seemed like something healthy to eat for breakfast, he thought as soon as Kokichi had shrieked out the food item. He found himself opening his mouth to voice his thoughts, but as soon as Fumiko raised her voice too, he shut himself up.

Wait.

Was he the weird one for not wanting to eat ice cream for breakfast?

Shuichi's momentary train of thought had been interrupted by Kirumi's question. “Huh? O- oh, um,” Shuichi had to think long and hard for this one; after yesterday, he wouldn’t want to smell any worse than he already had, so definitely nothing too strong smelling. “E- eggs?” Yup, you can’t go wrong with eggs. "Wait no, b- bread." Yeah, bread is good too, it's pretty plain so it has no smell— Oh shit, what about crumbs? "N- not bread! U- Uh," so here he was, having a mini breakdown about what to eat for breakfast. "G- granola?" What if it sticks to your teeth, dumbass!?

Shuichi jolted up and whipped his head away from Kirumi to down at the two that had been rolling around together on the ground. “O- Ouma, st- stop! What... What are you doing...!?”

Maybe the detective would've been jealous that Kokichi had been having fun with her; but at the same time, he couldn't find any part of himself wanting to roll on the ground, no matter how appealing it may seem.

"W-what the hell!? If I wanted to watch porn, I would've watched it on the huge TV in my lab!" Miu spoke, eyes dilated in shock as the two squealed on the ground.

Shuichi had to push down the urge to glare at the inventor, as he was too busy trying to get them off each other. "Y- You guys can both have the ice cream...??" Shuichi's speech had come out more of a question than a statement— and for good reason! How would you react if the girl you had been in love with for less than a week, started pinning another guy to the ground?

He just wanted them to be... a bit... farther apart. Their proximity unsettled him, for a reason he refused to confront. "U-um..." Absentmindedly, he tugged at the fabric of Fumiko's dress, eyes averted as he tried to think of a good excuse to say to get her to crawl off of him.

Kokichi seemed to notice this, and his evil tendencies rose to the surface once again as he flipped their position(oh no), careful not to hurt the girl but still quick enough to catch her off guard. Shuichi's breath hitched as his grip had loosened as to not rip her dress from the sudden movement Kokichi had performed with her.

Kokichi, unlike the girl he had pinned underneath her, had been well aware of their compromising position— actually, almost too aware of it. "Nishishi! I win!"

Shuichi's eyebrows furrowed, patience thinning and jealousy bubbling up to his chest, "Kokichi, stop!" oh whoops, that may have sounded a bit more aggressive than he wanted it to-

His vocal cue came out more like a growl than a scolding; he had definitely shocked everyone from the loud tone, though most of all, he had positively shocked himself.

Pretty Pretty Princess

Summary: Kaminari’s daughter wants to play dress up, so he becomes a princess for the evening.

Wordcount: 1808

“Mommy, can we play dress up?” You wave a tired hand at your daughter, who was following you around the room. You could feel her tugging onto your dress as you laid out paper plates and plastic silverware.

Today was a special day; it was the baby shower for the unborn twins inside your belly. Lucky for you, they have been calm so you can get things done, but now your six year old is demanding your attention. “Miuko, I can’t. I’m setting up the party for your siblings. Today we get to find out if the babies are boys or girls.”

Miuko puffed out her chubby cheeks, pulling on her dirty blonde pigtails. “But I wanna play princess tea party!” Her hair started to become staticy and her strands started to stand on end as she crossed her arms, pouting on the couch.

“Heheh, now she looks like her dad when she does that. She’s so cute all the time, you forget her dad is Denki.” Kyouka came into the room, holding the cake for the party. Momo followed close behind her with balloons. Oh thank god, the other adults are here to help.

You sigh happily as the girls came over to you and gave you side hugs. “Hey, Kyouka, that’s rude!” Speak of the devil, your husband pouted as he walked over to you. His arms wrapped around you tightly as he showered your face in loving kisses. “Hello my beautiful, darling, glowing, light-of-my-life wife. How are you feeling? How are the little lightning bugs?” His hands wandered down to your belly; the twins seemed to sense their father, as they shifted inside you...

“We are good, don’t worry. Just worried about getting the party together in time for everyone to get here…” You looked back down at your daughter and then motioned your husband closer to whisper in his ear. “I think Miu is feeling a bit left out. She’s been begging to play princess all morning.”

Denki looked down at his pouting little girl and then winked at you. “Oh man honey, I don’t think I can help with decorating. I’m really bad at it! I guess I have to keep myself out of the way. Hey Miu, do you know what daddy could do while we wait for the party?”

Miuko gasped, jumping up and down on the couch. “Princess tea party!”

Denki let out a dramatic gasp as he grabbed his daughter's hand. You giggled at his ‘excitement’ as you mindlessly rubbed your belly. “Princess tea party?! That sounds like sooooooo much fun! Let’s play in your room!” The two of them skipped down the hall; your daughter’s bubbly voice could be heard all the way to her room.

“Man… that was cute.”

“Makes you want a child of our own, Kyouka?”

“M-M-Momo!”

The party was still being set up when the guys showed up. Sero, Kirishima, and a Bakugo being dragged via headlock by Kirishima. Which meant they were sent to see where Denki was since they couldn’t be trusted to help or keep fingers away from snacks. “Holy shit! Pwahahahahahah! What the heck Kaminari?!” Both Sero and Kirishima fell to the floor, laughing at the sight before them.

Denki had bows, clips, and glitter in his hair with random braids everywhere, as well as messy sparkly pink eyeshadow that didn’t stop at his eyelids and Barbie pink lipstick. Denki was sitting at his daughter’s play table, squeezing his large body onto one of the mini child chairs.e.

“Is that an effing tutu, dunce face?” Bakugo, who was filtering his words in front of Miuko, pointed to the frill around Denki’s waist.

“Yes, yes it is. And my name is Princess Dazzling Unicorn Sparkle.” Denki stated his new title proudly, taking a pretend sip from a very small plastic pink teacup, pinky out and everything. He is not ashamed that he plays with his daughter or that he lets her use him as a dress-up doll.

Miu hopped to her feet, dressed in one of her princess costumes from Halloween. She ran over to the men that were more than triple her size. “Uncle Ei! Uncle Hanta! Uncle Suki! Are you here to play too?!” She grabbed Kirishima’s and Sero’s hands, pulling them and forcing them to sit at the table as well. It was amusing to see someone as big and bulky as Red Riot sitting in a chair that was smaller than one of his calves.

“Uuuhhhhh…” The men looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Miu was looking at them with big puppy dog eyes; there was no way they could fight it. They both gave reluctant nods, but were rewarded with one of the brightest smiles they'd ever seen on Kaminari’s daughter’s face.

“Eff that. I’d rather help with the dumb baby shower.” Bakugo tried to turn away, but small hands glued him to where he stood.

“Pleeeaaasssse Uncle Suki? It won’t be as fun without you. I wanna play with you too.” Bakugo flinched at the tears starting to flow out of her eyes. Small sparks of electricity buzzed around her. If there is one thing Bakugo learned over the years from being around the small Kaminari child is to avoid any possible tantrum, at all costs. There is no way someone who didn’t have an electric quirk would survive. The moment he let go of the doorknob, she knew she’d won. “Yay, you are going to be Princess Butterfly Glitter Bomb!”

You sighed from your spot on the couch; all the energy you’d had before had been sucked away when the twins decided to switch spots inside your stomach. “Alright, everything is set up. We just have to lay out the snacks and wait for everyone to show up. I’ll get the boys and the princess to come out and join us.”

Walking down the hall, you could hear your daughter telling the story of how her prince in shining armor came to rescue her. “That’s stupid. Why would you wait for some dude to save you? You can do it yourself.” Ah, that was Bakugo talking.

“But I want to be saved! My prince will give me a kiss!” Slowly, you opened the door; the first thing you see is your daughter being pampered by two pairs of hands. One was skillfully putting winged eyeliner on her, while the other was delicately placing flowers inside her French braided golden hair. Your eyes widened as you opened the door more; you immediately placed a hand over your mouth to hold back a snort.

“You can fight some dragon on your own with your quirk, why wait for some dumb prince?” Bakugo, who was applying makeup to your daughter, had a butterfly clip holding back his bangs, a large amount of bright sparkly pink eyeshadow and neon pink lipstick. The makeup must of have been from her princess makeover kit that Denki had bought her for her birthday.

“Katsuki, you are missing the point. She wants to be swept off her feet. To be romanced. You did that for me, bro.” Kirishima, the manliest and largest man of the Bakusquad, had many different assortments of colorful sparkly costume bracelets hooped around his spikes, flowers drawn in what you assume is the same red lipstick that was currently on his lips on his cheeks, and is that… your eyelashes from your Halloween costume last year?

To the side of him was Sero, who was holding his hands out to Kirishima. “Shut up and focus on Soy Sauce’s nails. Anyways, you don’t need to be saved to be smooched, especially not from some random prince.” Sero was frowning down at his nails as Kiri continued to paint. The tape hero didn’t look much different to the redhead; his hair was in numerous ponytails that were being held up by beaded hair ties and bow; he had been given the purple lipstick.

Your daughter held up the toy that she was clutching to herself right into Bakugo’s face, interrupting his work on her eyes. “It won’t be a random prince! Ingenium will save me!”

“Glasses? Really?” Bakugo grabbed her face again, finishing the last bit of her eyeliner wings.

Kaminari placed the final flower in his daughter’s hair. He was the most put together out of the rest; most likely he’d put his makeup on while your daughter did the rest of the guys. “She could do worse than our old class president. As long as she’s happy and he treats her right, I’m happy.”

“All done.” Kirishima cheered as he closed the bottle of nail polish.

Sero held up his hands to look at Kirishima’s work with an exasperated look; he was obviously not enjoying this as much as the others. “This is going to be hell to take off… why sparkles… I can’t imagine having a daughter who makes you dress up like this…”

Kirishima leaned onto an open palm perched on his knees. “I don’t know bro, I feel kind of pretty.”

With a straight face, Bakugo looked up at the redhead without any hesitation and said, “You are always pretty. Homo intended.”

“Awww bro.”

Now that no one was holding Miuko’s attention, she looked over to see you and excitedly stood up pointing to her face. “Mommy! Look! We princesses!”

You giggle as she ran around the room, presenting each man and describing what she did to them with glee. “I see. Will your highnesses please join us in the living room; the party should be starting soon.”

Sero sighed with relief as they all got to their feet. “After we get this makeup off…”

That was the wrong thing to say. Miuko stomped her feet standing between Sero and Kirishima. “No! Princesses can’t be seen without their makeup! What if your prince comes? You have to look battle ready! Let’s go Princess Shiny Rainbow Bubbles and Princess Strawberry Sunshine Sugar.” She took Sero and Kiri’s hands and you watched as your six-year-old pulled the full-grown pro hero men out of the room.

Kiri reached out and grabbed Bakugo’s hand, pulling him along as well with a cheeky smile. “Lucky me, I already found my prince…er, princess.”

“Shut up, you sap.” Bakugo rolled his eyes as he let himself get dragged along.

You were giggling to yourself as you could hear people gasping in surprise, soon followed by loud laughter. Denki came up beside you, offering his arm for you to take and escort you. You couldn’t help but chuckle and make a comment on his appearance. “You look beautiful, honey.”

Denki flipped his hair dramatically with his free arm as the two of you walked. “I know, right?” You are sure the children in your stomach did somersaults due to your muscles flexing from how hard you laughed that day.

We've now come to an end~

Firstly let me say that I was so happy translating Kageie. I'm so proud of him, I'm so proud of being the Uesugi and I'm so proud of myself.

I will not put his other ends so...another 1-2 years in SLBP maybe...and when his MS released in SLBP, May anyone find missing details or additive informations or even alternate translation here.

Thanks to anyone who interested or like my translation. ❤️❤️❤️

:: Kageie MS #19 ( END ) ::

Miu : 「......Yes.」

Kageie : 「Babbling again huh, Yocchan.」

Miu : 「Are you fine with it?」

Kageie : 「With what?」

Miu : 「About Matsumoto-san...I heard you stop him from leaving......」

Kageie : 「So you heard that too...Really, Yocchan is such a pain......」

Kageie-san steps on his long shadow, lets his feeling show with a sudden smile.

He's seemingly sad but acts just like he's already get over it.

Kageie : 「In this world, people whose parents were killed is not only me. You too. Didn't your farther die in the battlefield?」

Miu : 「That's correct but......」

My dad was not killed before my very eyes......

The sorrow somehow remains in my heart but still, I have my mom and also Yahiko.

My words just can't get out of my mouth. Kageie-san senses it so he looks at me and nods.

Kageie : 「If you pity me, stop it. It's common thing, happened in every corner in the world such this. There's nothing special about it.」

Miu : 「......It may happen everyday but for someone in the family...each and every life is special, isn't it? Your parents and your brother too...For Kageie-san, their lives are irreplaceable, isn't that what you feel?」

( That's why even now, he still holds his brother's amulet so dear and also built that gravestone. )

Kageie : 「......」

Kageie-san says no more. He's only coughing to clear his throat once then giving me a grin and uses one of his hand tousles my hair affectionately.

( Kageie-san...... )

He says nothing at all but even so I can perceive that our feeling communicated.

This person's heart that I never seems to understand. I know now that I've already gotten through even if it's just a little.

( That alone is enough...I'll keep getting closer, little by little, as long as I'll get to know more...... )

I stick even closer, try never to let our two shadows separated. Kageie-san also holds my hand, enveloping mine in his.

At the alleyway before reaching the mansion, we see small shadows.

( Eh? There...those kids...... )

Those kids that closed to Kageie-san.

They're crouching down, forming a circle as they're setting up strategy.

When they noticed us, they stand and move our way rapidly.

( Urgh...What will they do now...... )

Unconsciously, I put myself on guard. Since last time, they came to throw stones at the mansion's wall. Kageie-san's awared of the hole in the wall too.

The children stand before us and holding out their hands without any hesitation.

Within those small hands are...cucumbers, eggplants and many vegetables.

Kageie : 「Why...all these.」

Boy 1 : 「As an apology.」

Kageie : 「What apology?」

Boy 1 : 「Our dads told us to apologize because we all treated you as a traitor......」

Boy 2 : 「Even though I knew Kageie is a good guy but I...I still doubted you. Please forgive me!」

Girl 1 : 「Please forgive us!」

Everyone bows down their heads all at once. Quietness goes on for a little while.

Kageie-san then addresses the children over their heads with his serious look.

Kageie : 「One condition required.」

Boy 1 : 「Eh......!」

The children raise up their faces one by one, showing their uneasy expressions. Gulping down their saliva, they wait for Kageie-san to continue.

Kageie : 「Come to play again. That's the condition.」

He lets out a broadly grin then one of the girl shakes her neck up and down enthusiastically.

Girl 1 : 「Umm! We'll come! We'll definitely come!」

Boy 1 : 「I'll make bamboo butterfly again! It will hop higher than last time!」

Kageie : 「I know. I know. Just stop being noisy and go home already. Your family are worried by now.」

Then the children gave him all their gifts so that one of his arm was full of vegetables.

Boy 1 : 「See ya, Kageie!」

Girl 1 : 「Bye~! See you tomorrow~!」

They ran off energeticly towards the setting sun but just a second later, a boy runs back with fast speed then he stops in front of me and fixing his gaze on me.

Miu : 「What's wrong hmm?」

Boy 1 : 「So to say, you weren't a guy! Are you Kageie's "Good girl"?」

Miu : 「 ! 」

The boy laughs mischievously and quickly runs away.

Heat rises straight up to my face.

( ......How come he's so mature for his age...... )

Kageie : 「......」

Kageie-san says nothing. He only smirks and stares maliciously at me.

『Good girl』......Whatever was said......our relationship has no progess though.

A moment before entering our individual bedding, we silently embrace one another.

Miu : 「......Good night.」

Kageie : 「Night.」

We exchange our good night and so...that's it...never a thing happens beyond this point......

After hearing Kageie-san breathes out his gentle sleep sound, I open the sliding door quietly to take a peek inside.

Kageie-san doesn't go out aimlessly anymore. I'm really really glad that he sleeps soundly just like this.

But......

Kageie : 「......」

In a corner of my heart, I'm also troubled with that face. He's sleeping so well that I cannot help but plunged into that thought.

Miu : 「......Even so he said 『tell me something about you which noone else knows』......」

Just after I finish my word, Kageie-san's eyes unexpectedly opened. He then turns over his body to me.

( Eh!? He was awaked!? )

Kageie : 「"Stop it", wasn't that what it meant......」

His whisper sounds very irritated so that I almost can't bear and feel like running away.

Miu : 「......I'm so sorry. You don't like it. You already told me so......」

Kageie : 「Huhhh......You got it wrong.」

He raises half of his body above the bedding then fixes his gaze my way.

Kageie : 「I...I had done terrible thing to you......or rather say, forcible.」

He said it sinfully so that I finally recall the incident.

( Terrible thing......perhaps that's when...... )

『Miu : 「Don't tell me......Kageie-san did that on purpose to make me reject you?」』

( I see...so the truth is...he's trying to treasure me. )

I'm glad but at the same time feeling frustrated.

Miu : 「For me...that night when Kageie-san came back to the castle. When I felt your warmth on my skin, I'd experienced the real truth that Kageie-san is truly alive......It was such a great happiness so...more...I'd rather feel your life more......」

When I said it like that, Kageie-san's line of sight was loitering in midair, searching for a word to say. Just when his eyes catch mine again, he suddenly takes off his nightcloth.

Miu : 「Eh......」

Kageie : 「Really, I never think I'll be seduced by you.」

Miu : 「What of...seduce...I didn't......」

Kageie : 「What...You've just talked about that kind of thing, haven't you?」

Miu : 「That...kind of thing, is it......right.」

I was taken aback but Kageie-san smiles at me then slowly sets me down, peering into my eyes. His gaze is so tender yet filled with burning fire.

Boom. Boom. My heart pounds noisily.

Kageie : 「......If you will touch, all of me...is yours......」

He grips on my hand, leading it the way to touch his arms......his chest......

( So warm...... )

Sound of his heartbeat circulated along with his body warmth certainly help me to acknowledge how true he's breathing in life.

Kageie : 「Come now.」

This time, he takes both of my arms, wrapping around his neck.

Our faces draw closer. Naturally, our lips starting to touch then they become deeply connected, deeply entwined, savoring each other. Flame is now burning gradually inside our mouths, taking on even more heat.

Miu : 「............tsu............」

Our lips slightly apart just to blend in again and again.

Before I know it, my obi was untied and not even a second delay, my skin was exposed to the night air.

His skilful hand slips in, toying with my body. Sweet ache's flooding into me, coaxing me to moan in high voice.

Kageie : 「Very good......more, your voice......let me hear it more.」

He burns me feverishly. Without stopping, his body heat fills into me at a stretch.

Kageie : 「Here too.」

Again my hands was led, crawling, caressing over his sturdy body. The area between his eyebrows slightly crumpled everytime our movements match.

Kageie : 「......You're amazing......better than I imagine......」

Miu : 「Kageie-san......」

Kageie : 「......Un.......tsu......Miu......」

Low breath he's leaking out together with his painful groan is so sexy.

( Ah...Ahh......I will never ever want to let go of this man...... )

I wish, night time that was dark and long will turn itself into something gentle and affectionate for him......

I secretly make a prayer just when our overlapping bodies delicatedly engraved as one.

Vacation Ch 7

Miu woke up the next morning with a smile. She gazed up at Xiao Gui who was still asleep. Miu placed a soft kiss on his lips, waking him.

“Baby…” he groaned huskily. Miu smiled softly at him.

“Morning~” she whispered. Xiao Gui smiled at her sleepily. He placed a light kiss on her lips, making her blush.

“What time is it?” He asked.

“About 7am. Go back to sleep Kaikai.” She said. Xiao Gui looked at her.

“You’re not going to?” He asked. Miu shook her head.

“I’m going to do a little bit of yoga before taking a shower. My body has been really sore due to preparations for our comeback.” Miu said. Xiao Gui looked at her with a soft gaze.

“Baby, how about you do yoga a bit later? I wanna get a workout in tonight too. The guys probably wanna join me.” Xiao Gui said. Miu pouted.

“I have a performance tonight.” Miu said. Xiao Gui smiled at her cuteness.

“I’ll give you a massage after your performance. I don’t want you overworking yourself baby.” He said. Miu nodded before sitting up.

“Where are you going?” He whined at the loss of her warmth. Miu smiled at him.

“I’m going to take a shower and then I’m going to make breakfast for you guys.” Miu said as she walked toward his closet where a portion of it was filled with her clothes. Xiao Gui looked at her with a soft smile. He loved seeing her in his clothes.

“Baby, wear one of my sweaters and a pair of leggings.” He suggested. Miu nodded and opted for a burgundy hoodie and black leggings. She then went into the bathroom that was inside his room and began to start her morning. Xiao Gui took a look at his phone and decided to get started on his own morning. He choose his other burgundy hoodie and a pair of adidas joggers before going into the bathroom that was in the hallway.

The boys woke up the smell of waffles and fresh fruit. Miu had opted for a western style breakfast since there wasn’t much to work with in the fridge. Xiao Gui helped her prepare the waffle mix and wash the fruit. The boys came out toward the kitchen after doing their morning routines. ZhengTing and Wenjun halted in their tracks when they saw Xiao Gui back hug Miu who was cutting up fruit. Justin and Yanlei looked at each other. Not knowing if they should come out or not. Luckily for them, Xingjie and Yanjun walked down the stairs.

“Oh? It’s our little Xiao Xiao couple.” Yanjun teased. The two looked at him with smiles.

“Hey Xiao Mei.” Xingjie greeted. Miu smiled at him. The boys slowly walked out.

“Hello.” They greeted the girl shyly. Miu smiled at them.

“Hi.” She said with a bright smile.

“Get your own waffles and bacon.” Xiao Gui said as he set a big plate of freshly made waffles on the table. Next to the plate was a plate of bacon. The boys looked at Miu and smiled thankfully.

“Miu, just dump Gui now. Marry me.” Yanjun said as he ate. Xiao Gui looked at him with a glare.

“Go away.” He said, making the boys laugh.

“If only you can confess to Jennie Jiejie like that.” Miu said. Yanjun blushed while Xingjie and Xiao Gui bursted into fits of laughter.

“But I love you~” he teased Xiao Gui who smirked back at him.

“Yes. Say it like that. But to Jennie Jiejie.” Miu said. Yanjun pouted.

“Oh yeah, Miu said she has a performance tonight. Pretty sure the other Guardian members will be there.” Xiao Gui said. As if he had cued it, Miu’s phone started to ring.

“Jiejie~” The girl greeted her sister.

“Hey. We’re gonna have the performance at around 9pm. We have two photoshoots before that. One for the new album and then one based on different concepts. Show in around two hours?” Aria said.

“Okay~” Miu said cheerfully.

“Tell Linkai that the boss wants him to be there for the photoshoot. He says he wants Linkai to be your partner for the photoshoot since you guys are dating. It’s gonna be a cute, couple theme for you two.” Aria said. Miu looked at Xiao Gui.

“Okay. Are you partnered with Jennie Jiejie?” Miu asked.

“Yep, we have a sexy theme. Our unnie line has a fresh, girl next door theme.” Aria said.

“Okay. By the way, Xingjie gege and Yanjun gege are here along with the Fantasy Restaurant cast.” Miu informed.

“Oh. Put me on speaker.” Aria said.

“Done.” Miu said. Aria smirked.

“Lin Yanjun, grow some balls and confess already. Stop being a beta.” Aria said. Yanjun blushed while Xiao Gui and Xingjie laughed.

“Alright I’m out. Deuces.” Aria said before hanging up. Xingjie quietly pulled out his phone and started to text his girlfriend.

“Kaikai~” Miu said as Xiao Gui kissed her cheek.

“Yeah?” He said.

“Boss wants you at the photoshoot later… you’re gonna be my partner… he wants couple pictures.” Miu said shyly. Xiao Gui smiled. He loved the idea of the world knowing that she was his.

“Okay. Can’t wait.” Xiao Gui said as he back hugged her. Xingjie and Yanjun looked at each other. Yanjun wanted to call Jennie his while Xingjie had to find a right time to let the boss know that he was ready. He debuted already. It was time for him to tell the world about him and Aria. The Fantasy restaurant boys looked at each other.

“Um… Miu, can we come and watch your photoshoot?” Jeffrey asked. Miu nodded.

“Of course. But aren’t you guys filming today?” Miu asked. Xiao Gui shook his head.

“They’re giving us a day just to rest.” Xingjie said.

“Really? Hmm, Xingjie gege, you have to come to our shoot then!” Miu said. Xingjie nodded with a laugh.

“Of course.” He said with a smile.

The boys along with Miu were outside of the photoshoot site. Xiao Gui held Miu’s hand as they walked into the building.

“Yah Song Miu!” A girl called out. Miu looked up with a smile.

“Rita Unnie!” Miu said excitedly. It was Rita of the Guardians.

“Ready for your shoot? Ari and Jennie are getting ready for theirs right now. Dude your sister is a bagel girl. Like my lord.” Rita said. Miu looked at her confused.

“Bagel girl?” Miu asked.

“Like her face itself is innocent but like… her body is something else.” Rita said. Miu laughed.

“That’s true. Where are they?” Miu asked.

“C’mon.” Alice said, leading them toward the photoshoot room. Jennie and Aria were getting briefed on the details. Miu ran up to her members.

“Miu~” Mira said with a smile. Aria patted her sister’s head. Jennie smirked when she saw Xiao Gui.

“Ready?” The director asked Jennie and Aria. The two girls nodded.

“Okay can I get Aria first?” The photographer asked. Aria walked over and began to pose. The boys watched in awe. She was in a black leather jacket and black skinny jeans that was ripped. Under her jacket was a cropped white tube top. It showed off her abs along with the right amount of cleavage. Jennie was in a white bodycon dress with pink detailing. Over her dress was a black leather jacket. The two girls were posing next to a black convertible.

“Next outfits please.” The director said. Aria changed into a white cropped tank top along with light blue ripped skinny jeans. Jennie changed into a white bodysuit and light blue booty shorts. This time the girls were posing with a window. Jennie sat on the window sill while Aria stood next to her, back against the wall.

The girls soon changed into more daring outfits. Jennie sported a white night romper that hugged in all the right spots. It was made of lace, showing off her amazing figure. Aria sported a strappy lacy black bra along with matching boyshorts. She wore an unbuttoned, white button up shirt over it. The girls were on a bed, next to each other.

Xingjie met eyes with his girlfriend as she posed. He smirked at her, making her bite her lip at the camera. Yanjun couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Jennie was sexy. He always knew she was, but to see her like this made him go crazy.

The girls ended their portion of the photoshoot steadily.

“Damn our middle line has some nice ass bodies. Like look at Ari, nice ass tits. Jennie got a perfect ass.” Mira teased the two girls.

“You two should be the ones doing the sexy concept. You guys are the older ones. How the hell did it turn into me and Ari?” Jennie said.

“Because Ari’s image is already sexy. And you fit the sexy concept quite well.” Rita said as she touched up her makeup.

“I guess.” Jennie said with a smirk before walking toward the door. It was then that she noticed the boys.

“Oh hi.” She said with a bow. The boys were shy as she was exposed. Jennie looked toward Yanjun with a smirk.

“Hey Junnie~” She said, giving him a hug. Yanjun gulped. He froze upon her touch, making her smirk grow.

“Hey Jennie…” He said. Jennie frowned due to his lack of enthusiasm.

“What’s wrong?” Jennie asked. Yanjun shook his head.

“Nothing… you’re just gorgeous.” He said. Jennie looked at him, skeptical. She said nothing though.

Aria walked over with a smirk. Xingjie welcomes her with open arms. The girl went into her boyfriend’s embrace.

“Too revealing baby.” He whispered, kissing her temple. Aria sighed in content.

“I know. But it’s for a concept. Jennie and I got put into a sexy concept.” Aria said. Xingjie pouted, making the girl laugh. His pout soon turned into a soft smile. He had missed her.

“Huba ge, I’m gonna steal Ari real quick. We need to change into our clothes for the album.” Jennie said. Xingjie released Aria. The two girls quickly walked toward their dressing room.

IM BACK AFTER A MILLION YEARS. HELLO!

A Faint Affection (MC x Yasumasa)

Chapter 5

Afternoon Break, and Some Little Troubles..

Everyday is just the same.

Which is good. I hope this peace we have will stay longer, last longer-- tho I know that it’s impossible. That this is just temporary, a thing I could only wish. Yet.. I pray that tomorrow will still be the same as today. Peaceful.

I am outside the main courtyard, just in the clothesline area folding the newly dried and sun-pressed laundry clothes-- putting them into a large woven basket just beside me. It is already late morning, the sky with a glaring sun staring above us. A hot relentless morning, surely.

I stack the nicely folded clothes into the large woven basket and with care, hold the basket both in my arms. I unsteadily walk towards the veranda, careful at each step I take so that I won’t might bump into something. But as I am about to head to the corner of the corridor, I bump not into a wall, instead to someone-- sending him on the floor with a thud that seems painful just by the sound of it. I can’t see who it was because of the pile of clothes blocking my view, but I just really hope so it isn’t lord Ieyasu that I accidentally sent flying to the wooden floor.

Quickly, I put down the large basket on the floor and rush toward that person.

“..mmm..” reacts faintly of the man sitting now on the floor.

“I-I am so sorry, milord..!” still flustering, I help him get to his feet.

“It’s okay. I’m fine.” says the voice so softly, to my surprised when I look, it is lord Toramatsu.

“Oh, lord Toramatsu..!” I say with a sense of relief knowing that it was him.

Whew. Thank goodness, it wasn’t our difficult Tokugawa young lord. I utter within myself.

He looks at me, his hand brushing off his wrinkled hakama, and talks to me in a kind tone, “Still doing some chores?” he asks.

“Ohh, yes. I am about to finish everything, just need to store these fresh laundry then I am done for today’s morning chores.” feeling glad about this fact as I say it to him.

“I see..” he smiles but then, when he looks at that towering pile of clothes, a slight surprised or maybe shocked shows on his face, “but.. That sure looks heavy. Do you want me to help you?” he asks with a little concern.

Even tho everyone here knows that I am a guy, surely you can’t deny the fact that I have a small and almost-like fragile frame. I feel a bit glad for how considerate lord Toramatsu can be, even to a guy. He sure is a kind soul.

“Oh, no. It’s really okay. I always carry this much just fine by myself. All the time too.” I say, reassuring him that he doesn’t really need to worry about it.

“Still. Hmm..” with that familiar determined expression I came to know after living here for a while that shows lightly on his face whenever he’s already decided to do something, he urges me, “Let me carry the other half. Just think of this as a little reward for all the hard work you do for us. You always help in the kitchen, even in cleaning and you even serve lord Yasumasa.”

Well, knowing that I can’t refuse him at all, seeing him exudes with such eagerness to help, I happily take his kind offer and let lord Toramatsu help me carry the half of the clean clothes.

We divide it. He carries the half in the big basket while I on the other hand, the other half of the clean laundry pressed on my chest tightly so as not to deform the folded clothes. We then start to walk.

“You don’t have to be so formal to me too, you know. We are almost the same age.” without glancing at me, he says it with a faint smile on his lips.

“Umm..alright..If it’s really okay with you, milord. Then, thank you again for helping me with these.” I reply, now in a somehow more casual and comfortable tone.

“Yeah..” he adds.

As we walk, a familiar voice greets us suddenly in the corridor that makes me instinctively almost jump into my feet upon just hearing it. My guts is right. It is lord Yasumasa in front of us-- looking at us with a smile and an expression that I can’t seem to decipher.

I don’t know why I reacted like that, but he seeing me with lord Toramatsu, sends bad feelings to me. I can just feel it in my bones.

I feel anxious for some reason..

I don’t know why I feel a bit guilty too right now as if I was caught doing something bad behind his back or something.

This brings me back too, when I saw lord Yasumasa some time ago, staring intently at lord Tadagatsu, lord Tadakatsu and some of the retainers while they were laughing. That facial expression that he had back then, bothered me. Just like now, as I think of it.

“Oh, what do we have here? Hmm.. “ he looks at us with a bit of disdain, his arms crossed..then continues, “You just love being a goody two-shoes, aren’t you...Toramatsu?” he says in a smirking fashion, his mocking gaze directed at lord Toramatsu.

“...”

Lord Toramatsu says nothing in return though I can feel the glare brewing inside his eyes as he stares at lord Yasumasa too. His silent expression tells me that he’s resisting himself, not letting lord Yasumasa’s words get to him.

To break the nerve-racking atmosphere that starts to build up around us, I bow and greet lord Yasumasa as usual.

“Um.. G-good day to you milord.”

Okay. I think I just sounded a bit awkward there.

As soon as I finished my greetings, lord Toramatsu, starts walking in quick strides with the basket in his arms-- passing lord Yasumasa as if he isn’t there and leaving me behind.

“Hmph.” snorts lord Yasumasa, his eyes following the back of lord Toramatsu, “acting all high and mighty now, huh.” he adds, clearly irritated or dissatisfied by how just lord Toramatsu ignored him completely.

Ughh.. I don’t like this. I feel like my stomach is in knots right now. And why does he always have to act like a jerk all the time, anyway..!? Especially with lord Toramatsu.

This, I say with wonder and clear bit of annoyance to myself.

I thought I am accustomed to his jerk behaviors but I think sometimes, he can be just too much and unreasonable. Like a child, a bully, always picking fights.. Sigh. Sometimes I wish he would change that jerk part of him. Oh, well.. What can I do, that is lord Yasumasa for you.

Though I am trying to understand lord Yasumasa more and accept him for who he is, I can’t help but wish for him to try to be a little kind and considerate to others.

Busy wandering in my thoughts, lord Yasumasa now peeks at my direction that I soon noticed as my gaze lands on him as well. Though he has this familiar expression written on his face, that usual irritation that I am somehow used to, somehow today, something feels a bit different.

Still feeling guilty and uncomfortable even though I shouldn’t be really... I make an attempt to start a random conversation with him, but before I even have the chance to open my mouth he strides his way towards me, passing by me without a word or any at all-- just like how lord Toramatsu did to him.

Silently, I follow him with my eyes until he turns in a corner at the corridor and disappears too. I let out a somewhat long sigh.

“I shouldn’t be feeling down like this but..ugh.. I need to get back to work..”

***

Lunch time.

Almost everyone is in the main hall, having their own lively chats while waiting for their trays to be served in front of them. I and the kitchen ladies just finished preparing their meals. With a towering stack of trays on both my hands, I carefully serve everyone’s meal. I come to where lord Tadakatsu and lord Yasumasa sits. I kneel before them to serve their trays to them. Lord Tadakatsu greets me with his usual smile and his eyes, beaming as ever. Well, as for lord Yasumasa… sighs, he has this somewhat unreadable expression on his face, his very self emitting such negativity in the air.. And I feel as if it is directed towards me.

Sighs. Ohh... What is wrong again??

Feeling choked by it, I look at the other side. Sitting next to him is lord Tadakatsu who is emanating such nice warmth and vibrancy around him, merrily talking to the other retainers near them. He’s the very opposite of lord Yasumasa who is currently like at any moment will kill someone with that glare of his too.

“I am sure today’s lunch is good knowing just by the look of it. You are a very good cook Yahiko, you know? How you plan, prepare and pair the dishes--always complementing each other..” says lord Tadakatsu at me as he looks about the food on his tray.

“Really..? The taste the same as ever for me. Nothing special.” belittles lord Yasumasa in a tepid response, he’s chopsticks already in his hands, hardly picking some vegetables from his plate.

Sighs…

While serving the others, I observe him from afar as he silently eats. I can’t figure out why or what in seven hells is he irritated about. I really can’t read nor understand sometimes how his mind works. Despite the quietness, I get the feeling that he is angry at me.

Everyone starts eating as soon as all have their trays.

Still, my job isn’t yet finished for I am to serve tea to everyone as they eat. I smile while watching everyone’s faces who seem like they are enjoying their meals heartily. Even lord Ieyasu who is sometimes picky is silently eating his meal without a frown on his face. I can see that the food on his bowl is already half, his umeboshi already gone. That just means that he is satisfied right? Well, I just hope so.

I am done filling everyone’s cup with hot tea.

I go now outside of the main hall to make more extra tea and so that I can start to prepare my desserts for them too.

After some time, I come back with their tea and desserts, everyone is almost finished with their meals and some already have continued their own lively conversations from before. I served tea and his strawberry daifuku first, to lord Ieyasu before everyone else of course, then soon I serve the others as well.

“I can see that only lord Ieyasu is having his favorite strawberry daifuku. You are really adjusting quite well here, and aware too, of our lord’s likes and maybe dislikes too.” lord Tadagatsu tells me nicely, as I pour him hot tea on his cup beside his uiro-mochi dessert.

“He is. Really.” adds lord Toramatsu sitting just beside him, smiling at me as he starts to fork his serving of the sweet dessert on his plate. “And...even with lord Yasumasa.” lord Toramatsu says this with a small sigh. “I am honestly amazed with you, Yahiko. To be able to put up with lord Yasumasa’s attitude, especially everyday... is just like a pure hard work for me. But you? I am really amazed. I admire your fortitude and endurance.”

“Haha.ha.. (yeah, a real hard work...you are so right lord Toramatsu.. But, oh well..lord Tadakatsu is right too, he’s not that bad if his not in his one of his moods...well, he just can be hard to read, deal or be with sometimes. But he can be briefly good too...once in a blue moon tho).

“Then I am glad to know from both of you that I am doing a good work. Milords” I say in return.

I go now to lord Yasumasa and lord Tadakatsu’s side. As I come nearer, I can see that Lord Tadakatsu seems to be waiting for his share of dessert. I kneel beside them, fill their cups with hot tea and serve their desserts too.

“Thank you, Yahiko. So today’s different. Uiro-mochi right?” asks lord Tadakatsu as I put in front of him his dessert. “Is this like Yokan?” he asks again, as he brings his plate to his face, curiously examining at the new slice of sweet sitting on his small plate.

“Um..well, a bit kind of. But, to be specific, it is a steamed cake made from rice flour and sugar. It is chewy, the texture more like of a mochi than a yokan. But just like yokan, you can add different flavors to it like matcha, azuki beans or chestnut.” I say.

“Ohh. Wow.” happily says lord Tadakatsu in amazement, “As expected from you Yahiko, you are the best when it comes to desserts too. So mine is..?”

“Sakura-flavored.” I say, smiling. I sure do feel delighted whenever someone compliments my desserts..

“Hmph.. What’s so amazing about it?” cuts lord Yasumasa instantly to our conversation. “This is just rice flour and sugar then. Nothing of note-worthy.” says lord Yasumasa bitterly, his small wooden knife-like dessert fork relentlessly poking the side of his green-colored uiro-mochi.

And here I am, I especially made his dessert in matcha-flavored as a peace-offering. Thinking that at least he would notice it and be pleased with it, knowing he likes green tea so much. Sigh.

“You know, I honestly do like it when you talk in that way lord Yasumasa. It’s like music to my ears.”

Lord Tadakatsu says and continues, “But.. I think you should be a little bit nice to Yahiko, after all he is very good to you. To be honest you won’t be able to find anyone like him to serve you this long, to be able to put up with you and your nice spiteful little remarks.” says lord Tadakatsu, his face glows with a hint of pleasure as he says the last three words but then his face falls, brows in a concern frown as he talks and glances at me. “Look at Yahiko... ”

Lord Yasumasa glancing at my way, with a ‘so what?’ kind of expression, says in a snobbish manner, “And so..? It’s not like I am wrong or anything. I’m just stating the truth.”

Feeling a bit hurt about his words--though I should be so accustomed to it by now-- I just sigh again.

“...still, I hope you enjoy it... It’s in matcha-flavor.” I mutter as I leave them be, feeling somewhat disappointed and down for not getting a compliment or at least a small positive response from him.

***

Meanwhile..

The main hall is still full of people, busy chatting and having a good time as they eat their desserts and drink their tea.

Lord Yasumasa, sitting in crossed-legs, propping up his cheek while the other hand playing with his small wooden dessert knife. His eyes quietly follows the young boy who downheartedly leaves the main hall. Once Yahiko is gone, he stares back at his slice of green steamed cake and silently, he eats it.

***

Late in the afternoon.

I am outside the castle, in town.

Inside an old bookshop, I wander in every shelf looking for some particular books about medicine and such as I wait for the store clerk.

Lord Tadagatsu asked me to go and buy what was written on the list. It is for lord Ieyasu who apparently has ran out of books to read. Lord Tadagatsu personally wanted to do it but he’s busy with some other castle affairs leaving him no choice. So, here I am in his place.

“I have looked inside if we still have some stocks of it, and fortunately we do have. So here.” says the bookstore clerk, handing me the pile of books bound together with a thin sash of cloth.

“Whew. Thank you so much.” I say, reaching for the pile of books.

“Is this all on your list?” as he checks again the list I gave to him. “If so, then it means we are done finally.”

“Yes and thank you again. Lord Ieyasu will be really glad for having to get these books. He likes to read a lot, all the time.” I say as I hand the payment to him.

I finally leave the bookshop with a pile of books being carried and hugged by my arms.

Outside, a vast shade of warm crimson hue greets me, it’s color starts dappling the sky that was once blue earlier. Enough to tell me how long I have been outside.

“So it’s this late now?” I murmur. “I was so consumed in finding lord Ieyasu’s books that I didn’t notice the time. I have to hurry now.” I say to myself. But soon as I hurry my pace, my eyes catch a glimpse of that familiar caramel brown hair entering a shop that sells ink and paper.

“Hm? Lord Yasumasa?” curious, I walk towards the small shop and stop just by the entrance of it. “Should I go in? Or wait for him here? Hmm… Agh! Anyway! Why am I even here?” I tell myself, shaking my head when suddenly someone comes out of the entrance of the store making me startle…

“Ahh..!” I say out loud in an almost high-pitched sound similar to a woman’s cry.

“Seven hells! What the…!!? Yahiko?!” yells back by an exasperated voice. It is lord Yasumasa standing in front of me, who by the looks of it is surprised too.

“Why are you here? And what the hell are you even shouting for?!” he asks fully annoyed by the sight of me.

“Ohh..I’m sorry, milord. I just saw you entered the shop and followed you here. By the way, why are you here milord? Did you perhaps, ran out of ink again?” I ask.

“What else? Why would I even bother to go here if that wasn’t the case. And I should be the one asking here. What ARE you doing here? Following me?”

“Um.. (ughh..) Nothing milord. It just happened. You should have told me earlier that you have ran out of ink again. So that I would have gotten it for you.” I say.

“I can’t believe I am being told something like that right now. Has our positions been switched? I clearly remember that part of YOUR job is to prepare these things for me beforehand, am I wrong? Have you not been using your mind well again or it’s just that you really lack some common sense, eh? And even though I WANTED to make YOU buy it, I couldn’t even damn find you anywhere..!”

Arms crossed in a displeasure fashion, I can see as clear as day, the reproach look that lord Yasumasa is giving to me right now.

“I’m sorry, milord. This won’t happen again.” I say and bow apologetically.

As he looks down on me, his gaze shifts at the books resting on my arms. “I can’t believe that you have the time for some idle book shopping when you still have some workload left waiting there in my chambers for you to finish..tsk.” he says, irritated a bit.

“Oh these..!? These are not mine. I was just asked to buy these by lord Tadagatsu. These are lord Ieyasu’s new books.” I show to him the thick and slim binded books-- books varying from medicines, rare herbal plants and some about battle stratagems.

“Ahh.!” he scoffs. “What am I thinking. Haha. It’s not like you can read or understand those difficult books. Anyhow, as expected of lord Ieyasu…” His expression and voice, drastically changes into a full smile as he admires the sight of lord Ieyasu’s books.

Sigh. He doesn’t have to say it like that. Even my position is just a cook and an errand runner, I can read and understand well enough. Hmph..! What do I expect? This man just loves spitting venomous words and looking down on people. His very odd hobby... Hmph.

“So have you bought something, milord?” I inquisitively asks, changing the topic.

“Nothing. Tsk. I can’t find it even here. Now that you are here, you should be at least useful. Where did you buy those ink sticks/stones? Those sculpted ones that I used last time. ”

“Ohh! Is that what you are looking for!?” I answer him in a bright tone knowing that he must have liked it if he’s looking for it.

“Yeah, yeah. No need to get excited.. Right, those sculpted ones. It has a nice pure dark shade that I like. And it is smooth to use on my brush.”

“Then we have to hurry before it closes.” I say excitedly, unconsciously dragging him by his left arm.

“Wa-waiit..! Yo-you stupid fool! What are you doing?!!” he yells, annoyed by my action.

I realize that I am holding his left arm that he soon abruptly flails it as he removes it from my sudden grasp.

“Hey! I’m your lord. You shouldn’t carelessly touching me like that..!” His arm now released from my clutch, he touches his wrist then his whole arm, massaging it lightly as if my hold was so firm that it hurt him.

“I’m ss-so sorry!” I slightly blushed, feeling flustered as it dawns on me what I just did.

Oh heavens! MC what are you thinkinnnng!!?

How careless of you to just touch lord Yasumasa’s arm..!

“Oh, please.. Stop that. You’re weirding me out now.” says lord Yasumasa in a commanding, irritated tone giving me a look, like, what the hell is wrong with you or something similar to that.

We are still near at the storefront. He is standing just a few feet away from me, annoyed and glaring at me. I, on the other hand, for some reason I can’t help but lower my head feeling embarrassed at my actions.

“I-, uh.. I’ll lead the way to where I bought it, milord..” I say.

“Sigh. Sometimes, I can’t help but feel weirded out around you. Don’t you know that? And would you man up a bit?! You always act so girly it sometimes irritates me and freaks me out..!” he huffs as he follows behind me.

Ugh.. MC…stay acting like this and you’ll soon find yourself in trouble. Deep trouble. Seriously.

I just walk and lead the way.

***

After sometime, we come out from the shop where I usually buy his sculpted ink stones that seems to become his favorites now. Fortunately, we arrived before it closes. So here we are about to return to the castle.

Curious why he always ran out of it, both paper and ink, I ask lord Yasumasa as we walk side by side.

“Um..lord Yasumasa, I--”

“What??” cut in lord Yasumasa, glaring a little at me like I bothered him already.

Ugghh..Why the hell that I can’t even start a normal conversation with him.. Every time..!

I sigh. Trying to just let it pass.

“I am just a bit curious milord, why do you always ran out of these?” I glance at him and then point with my eyes at the wrapped ink sticks in my arms that we just bought.

“Are you always busy doing letters and such, everyday?”

Still carrying both the books and the newly bought ink sticks wrapped in cloth in my arms, I ask turning my gaze at his direction again.

I remember lord Tadakatsu as I wait for lord Yasumasa’s response. He admitted before that he is not that good when it comes to paperworks..and because of that, usually it is lord Yasumasa who is asked to redo all his poorly documents.

Lord Yasumasa just walks. He is silent, his eyes hinting me that he is in a ponder, maybe thinking if he should even bother saying it to me or not. With his brows knitting as he usually does, he replies in a somewhat calm tone that is rare actually of him, but, still the words he spits are with venom as ever.

“Aside from being weird, stupid, and talkative, you sure like to stick your nose into other people’s affairs too. Hm.” he scoffs, as he walks ahead of me, not even taking a glance if I’m still behind him.

I hurry my pace to catch up with him, “Well, it’s just that whenever I go to your room milord, I always find a heap of crumpled papers sitting next to your desk. So I am just wondering..I’m sorry milord if it seems like I am prying too much. I didn’t mean to be--”

“Shodo.” he says with a hint of a firm and proud tone.

“Hm..?”

He says it so sudden that I almost didn’t catch his words.

“You don’t know? Shodo? The way of beautiful writing? Hmf.” he huffs with a visible smirk forming on his face. Wait. Why it sounds like he is somewhat...mocking me now…!?

He continues as we walk side by side. “*Sigh. Oh well, what do I expect from someone dumb and low like you. I’ll be bit kind enough to enlighten your uneducated brain at least.”

Wow. This man, whenever he talks..Really, he sure always wants to get on somebody’s nerves, isn’t he??

“I’ll cut it short, so be thankful, for I am actually helping you widen your knowledge, giving my time to someone as unimportant being, like you.”

Then he continues, ”Shodo is more than a form of artistic writing..”

Hells. I know what that is. I am not that stupid really, Lord Yasumasa. I think of this as I let out countless invisible sighs within me while he goes on, talking all by himself as we walk.

Despite of the fact that he’s somewhat getting reaaally into my nerves, the way he tells it to me like I have no clue or whatsoever about the world... I- I just let it go and quietly listen to lord Yasumasa who seems to be enjoying his moment.

“Behind every fluid stroke, lies the feelings that the writer poured into it. Behind every character written tells you a story about the meanings of life or a particular moment, happening in life. As a samurai like me, it is natural for me this. Just like how every lord must have knowledge in tea ceremony and such..”

“So that means you are practicing milord?” I unconsciously cut him bluntly. That would only explain the piles of papers crumpled and scattered everywhere in his room.

“!!”

Lord Yasumasa briefly stop from talking..

For some reason I feel like the air around us has changed into an ominous one..like I stepped myself into a minefield or something.

“No! I am not..!” exclaimed lord Yasumasa so sudden with his arms crossed now, he continues, “Why should I? I am good already and skilled enough. So why should I bother myself practicing.!?”

Clearly, I can see the fluster and the faint blush making its way on his face despite the anger and irritation rising in his voice.

“For a mere servant like you, how brazen of you to cut me in while talking, and say something absurd like that. You..! I can’t believe this. You just mocked me, right!!?”

Ah-- Wait.!!? A what.!!??

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT..! When did I mock this man!!??

This man, ugh.. His mind is surely twisted..!

“You should be shaking on your knees, careful at every word you say, and yet here you are showing no respect with that stupid face..!”

Oh hells..

As this thought occurs to me, I realized that it does feel strange. After hearing his words. I remember that before, I would really feel scared to the point like my whole body would tensed up, nervous of not knowing what should I do. But now, I don’t feel scared. Instead, I am just annoyed. And, what is weirder is that, it feels like I am somehow a bit.. tiny bit of enjoying it..??

My thoughts are cut again, as lord Yasumasa throws words at me.

“..I must have been going easy on you lately..” continues lord Yasumasa reprimanding me, oblivious of what I was just thinking a moment ago about him. “..because you always somehow find the guts to throw questions, ask and say things randomly at my face without fear. I should teach yo--”

Feeling weird right now at my own self, I caught a glimpse of a manju stall just near us ahead and cut him too, to divert him or perhaps more of divert myself from thinking too much about it.

“Lord Yasumasa, look..!They sell manju! Seems delicious too.!” I hurriedly walk towards the stall leaving him behind.

“What the..!? You disrespectful, and rude, mere little thing..! Come back here..!”

Pretending not to hear the voice that keeps on shouting behind me, I continue striding towards the stall following the delicious smell of newly made manju.

***

We are sitting now in a small tea shop drinking hot green tea while eating the freshly made manju from the stall. After buying manju for myself and for him-- using my money by the way-- lord Yasumasa’s mood starts to get better, letting whatever happened that made him angry earlier (though I really have no idea why he’s so worked up with me or with every little thing, ever since in the morning) slide. He accepted my what-seems-like-a-bribe-to-him apology gift.

Though, of course, he doesn’t admitted it.

I invited him or rather beg him to have tea and eat the manju here in this shop. So that we can enjoy it while it is still warm. And rest a bit too from all that walking.

“So now, you...are bribing me with food? Hah. How cheap.” he exclaims, “if you think you’ll get away from it and that I’ll just forget about everything, then you are so wrong.” yet lord Yasumasa grabs the warm pieces of manju wrapped in a cloth. His smile is evident as he gets a bite. The warm, delicious and sweet smell lingering around us.

We are sitting in a small table with cups of hot tea still steaming in front of us. We sit opposite to each other. Despite his complains about it, he seems to be enjoying the manju so much that I can’t hear him talking or complaining anymore.

Silence takes over us before I even come to notice it.

It somehow feels new to me, sitting here with a cup of tea and taking a sweet, peaceful rest. I can’t fully remember when was the last time I did something like this. To be able to drink tea like this peacefully. I stare at my cup, the faint glow of sunset glimmering in my tea. Faint memories starts to flow in my head, reminiscing my times with mother and Yahiko, where we would have tea in the afternoons whenever there were no customers in our shop.

I kind of miss them. I miss my days, cooking in our restaurant and the laughter of our dear customers echoing in the air as I serve them their meals, and their random chatterings.

“Well, well, well... I didn’t know that you can hold that mouth of yours and stay quiet for that long.” interrupted by a voice. I look up from my teacup to see lord Yasumasa with his smug face talking to me. Our manju almost gone because of him.

… And I didn’t know that you love manju that much.. Wow. This is new. You eat so much.

Looking at the plate in front of me, I can’t believe that the once towering manju... is now almost gone. All eaten by no other than lord Yasumasa himself. I am stunned for abit. Because he doesn’t seem the type to have a sweet tooth.

Discovering something new about him, about something like this, I can’t help but find it adorable. I mean, come on... lord Yasumasa?? Likes manju? That is his favorite? This very overconfident and selfish man? And not just that, he eats so much of it that somehow it does not seem to fit for his bad boy image.

As I giggle in my mind, lord Yasumasa casually lick the sweet bean filling on his lips and on his fingertips in front of me. Not minding me one bit.

I unconsciously find myself swallow a bit. There’s something a little sensual about it that sends me flushing a little.

Hells...! What are you even thinking MC.!!?? When did your mind get so dirty, huhh.!?? Don’t tell me that, deep inside...that you are a pervert.!!?

“Aren’t you going to eat?” aks lord Yasumasa, interrupting my foolish thoughts, as he takes a sip of his hot tea.

“Ohh! I- I..Uh..I mean...thank you milord.” I say, feeling shy as I take a piece for myself.

“You know what, I changed my mind. Don’t eat anymore. The sun is almost down. We better return to the castle now.”

“Whhhaa--t?” I blurted out.

“I don’t know what useless thoughts you were having earlier, but we have to go now. It is your fault for spacing out too much.. You should have eaten it earlier.” he continues to say as he stands up from his sit, ready to leave.

But I still haven’t enjoyed my tea yet, let alone take a bite of my manju..!

As I hurry to put some of the manju left on the plate back on its cloth wrapper, lord Yasumasa is already walking, leaving me behind, again.

I drink half of my tea in a rushed manner, almost burning my tongue. I grab our belongings and hurry to catch up with him-- who is by now striding out of the tea shop.

When I finally catch up with him, he suddenly make a stop, sending me to bump into his sturdy back. I hear him sigh in an annoyed manner. I look over his shoulder and see a drunk man shouting angrily towards someone that I can’t see. When the man raises his right hand and is about to slap someone, lord Yasumasa suddenly calls to the man just in front of us, in an annoyed loud voice.

“Hey.! You.! Yes. YOU.”

He says as he crosses his arms. I step out to look around to see a scared boy with a little girl clinging to him, crying-- on the floor is a mess of large bottle of sake, spilled all over the place and a bag of some fallen manju too, bought from the same stall that we went too, earlier.

“What!!?” said the angry, drunk man turning to lord Yasumasa.

“You are blocking the way. So move your damn ass, would you!?” says lord Yasumasa authoritatively, I can imagine his brows knitting into an arc just based on the tone of his.

“What did you just said!? Huh!!? Boy!”

The man leaves his spot, walking sluggishly towards lord Yasumasa. Lord Yasumasa, on the other hand, is standing in front of me, not flinching at all.

“Are you deft?? Or just plain stupid? I said, MOVE YOUR DAMN ASS, OLD MAN.”

In the midst of all that, I do not worry at all for lord Yasumasa. Instead, I hurry towards the children who are still there unmoving and frightened.

“Hey, are you two okay?” I say while picking both of them, helping them to stand up again.

I try to calm the little girl who is still clinging hard to what seems like her older brother-- who looks like he too, is about to cry as well. I ask some women around about what happened. I find out that they, while the children are merrily running to go home, they accidentally bumped the drunk man. The children even with the help of some, already apologized but the man just can’t let it go.

The place is starting to be surrounded by a lot of curious folks.

“Gotta have to teach you hard lad, a lesson, ay? So that you lad next time would know how to give some respect to your elders..!”

“Oh..Will you, now?” whispers lord Yasumasa with a smirk.

The overconfident man, lunges an attack with a katana to lord Yasumasa who contrarily is standing still in his place, unwavering and unafraid.

Odd. Because how lord Yasumasa is very sure of himself, I too, am very confident about him. That he will not get hurt even though the man looks like he has some experience too like lord Yasumasa. Instead, I think of the stupid man who is oblivious of his fate.

“Oh my.. you’re a sure dead meat today.” I utter with a tired sigh.

And there, in an instant, lord Yasumasa swiftly grabs the arm of the man and without too much effort, throws him back to the ground-- there with his spilled sake.

The crowd cheer for lord Yasumasa. I too, unknowingly, is already raising my hands, both into a fist and cheering him loudly. “Yeaahhhh~!”

Lord Yasumasa, with a confident and a satisfied look on his face strides his way out of the scene, leaving the man wailing in pain. He goes straight to where I am.

“Come now, let’s go.” he says without even stopping from his steps.

“Wait.” I reply.

Lord Yasumasa stops from his tracks, turning his head to me.

“I, um.. you should go first milord, I would accompany these little children first until they get home safely. Don’t worry, I would return right away after I make sure they are home.”

“Whaat.!!?” he says aloud, a bit surprised.

The little boy who is holding back his tears, suddenly speaks to me, tears starting to spill from his eyes.

“Onii-chan, *sniffs, mghmm.. what should we do about those..? Mghhhmm..*sniffs.” says the boy as he points out at the fallen manju that was once warm but now, cold, wasted and full of dirt.

The little girl cries too, clinging more harder than before to her brother. They are both sobbing quietly. My heart tightens at the sight of them. So, as am I about to ask lord Yasumasa to just let me take care first the children, he continues to stride again towards us.

With his arms crossed, he talks to the little boy, saying “Hey, stop crying.” says lord Yasumasa in an imperative tone, particularly to the boy. “Strong men and boys don’t cry over such petty things.”

“*sniffs, but… we have been saving our money for those.. mgghmm.” says the boy weakly.

“No buts.! Don’t be a crybaby.!” scolds lord Yasumasa. “You’re the brother right? The older one, am I right?”

“*sniffs, yes sir.”

“So what you should do, or rather, be doing right now?? Huh..? Answer.”

Meanwhile, I am kneeling just beside the children as I try to calm down both of them . Seeing that the two child is getting more scared and that lord Yasumasa isn’t helping at all, making the situation a bit much worse, I stepped in.

“Milord, I think you aren't helping at all. You are just making them more uncomfortable and scared.” I say calmly as I stroke gently both of the children’s backs.

But it seems lord Yasumasa isn’t listening to me at all. He continues to scold the little boy.

“So.?”

“*sniffs, I- I- …”

The boy says quietly as he sobs, he looks confused and don’t know what to say. To be honest, I am a bit starting to get worried for the children at how lord Yasumasa doesn’t seem to care at the children’s feelings as he continues to reprimand them. So, I butt in again.

“Lord Yasumasa would you just please..!--”

“Instead.!” he says towering my voice as if to block me from talking. “Instead of crying right now, man up.! Be stronger.! You are the boy here, the older one, and most of all, her brother. The one who should do the protecting. That is your duty. Instead of bawling like a girl, right now, what you should do is to be stronger. Get stronger. Be the brother strong enough for her.!” points lord Yasumasa to the little girl who is now clinging at me, clearly terrified of him.

I am stunned for a moment.

Stunned from what I am hearing. Stunned from what I am seeing.

Am I hearing this right? Am I imagining things?? Is this reaallly coming from this guy..!?

The man who is usually inconsiderate, spitting ill and foul things towards others is now in front of me, blurting out words... words I never, not even once, have I ever imagined I would even get to hear from him..

For anyone who find this at first time.

Please look at my translation's note in Kageie MS #1

:: Kageie MS #14 ::

No other shadow walks by the lightly hazy street in Kyoto this time so sound of footsteps trampled on the ground was clearly heard, I reflexively try to conceal it.

Yoshichi : 「Yahiko, are you alright?」

Yoshichi-san who walks ahead of me looking back, worried.

Miu : 「I'm alright. This area's still fine to walk.」

Yoshichi : 「Tell me if you're tired, ok? We can go on while taking a little rest.」

Miu : 「Thank you so much but I wanna reach Mount Azuchi as fast as I can......」

Yoshichi : 「...Ah, I see...」

Is it because Yoshichi-san knew now that I'm a woman so he's somehow kinder than normal.

My heart broke. I plunged into distress, at the same time, feeling so thankful to Yoshichi-san.

Since leaving my house, an hour has already passed, I guess.

『I'm going back to Echigo.』 That's what I lied to my mom but the truth is...I'm going to find Kageie-san.

『Yoshichi : Oda have just constructed the castle at Mount Azuchi, near Lake Biwa. It's not that far, only takes few days from here. I wanna meet Kakkii and talk to him. I think, he won't be on guard that much if it's just me......』

When I heard that Yoshichi-san planned on going to Mount Azuchi, I immediately requested to accompany him.

At first Yoshichi-san was hesitant but I succeeded persuading him and that's all the reason why we are walking through Kyoto street this early in the morning.

Yoshichi : 「By the way Yahiko, you actually don't need to dress yourself as a man. I already knew it anyway.」

He said it cheerfully so that my heart aches with guilt.

Miu : 「It's easier to walk this way.」

Yoshichi : 「Ah...Yeah, it surely is...sorry that I may talk too much.」

Yoshichi-san scratches his head apologetically and then once again, we continue walking on in silence.

I put my hand inside my pocket, let my fingers feel the amulet which is Kageie-san's beloved brother's keepsake and also represent as his gravestone.

( Please, I hope we would be there in time...... )

Dark night has transformed into a bright dawn, the sun is now shining so dazzlingly that it stings my eyes...

At Kiyosu castle, arrangement for departure for the front of the upcoming battle was put in order steadily.

Retainer 1 : 「What...This one gonna be in our group!?」

Katsuie : 「What's the problem? More hands are for the best.」

Kageie : 「......」

Katsuie : 「Besides, it's Oyakata-sama's command.」

All retainers who are preparing armors, looking at Kageie surprisingly.

Katsuie : 「Although there'll be somewhat disorganized in the group but having skillful hands as ally is what we need more than anything.」

Retainer 1 : 「Well......」

Kageie : 「......」

And that's the introduction from an unfriendly guy...

All retainers exchange their dubious looks then lowering their voices.

Retainer 2 : 「Hey, even if it's Oyakata-sama's command but can we really trust him?」

Retainer 3 : 「You know, he just ran away from Echigo. Moreover, there's something eerie about him...don't you agree, Inuchiyo?」

Toshiie : 「......Yeah.」

Katsuie : 「You idoit!」

Katsuie shouts with thunderous voice. All guys shrug their shoulders.

Katsuie : 「If you have something to say, stick out and raise your voice!」

Retainer : 「N...No...We have nothing to say...」

Katsuie : 「Then...is there anyone who will not follow Oyakata-sama's command huh! If there's any strange behavior, I, Katsuie, will be the one who crush him.」

And that's when Kageie was quickly ushered into the group. Retainers reluctantly handed him a full set of armor.

Kageie : 「Thanks.」

Just then......

Guy : 『Gyaaaaaaa!』

Scream roaring from the castle gate direction.

Toshiie : 「......!? Who's there!」

One after another, all retainers fly out fastly to the castle gate.

Kageie : 「......tsu」

Kageie gave those backs one sidelong glance then leaps out to the opposite direction, running, heading towards the inner part of the castle.

Kageie reaches in front of Nobunaga's private chamber...alone.

All guards must have heard that loud voice too so they headed to the castle gate. Not even a single soul is here.

Nobunaga : 「What's going on.」

Sensing something in the air, Nobunaga opens the door.

Moment that Kageie heard Nobunaga's voice, someone jumped down from the ceiling.

Ninja : 「Hah!」

Kunais were hurling out faster than Nobunaga can be able to turn his face.

Nobunaga : 「......tsu」

Just when one of the kunai grazed on Nobunaga's shoulder, a slight opening has occurred.

Kageie : 「Ku......!」

Kageie springs out real fast standing before Nobunaga, who has just laid his hand on his sword, and swiftly uses his katana brushing away thrown out Kunais, one by one.

Kageie : 「......Ha......」

Ninja : 「Guaaaaaaaah!」

He then turns over the situation. In the blink of an eye, that shinobi has been cut down.

Nobunaga : 「You......」

Katsuie : 「Oyakata-sama!」

Hideyoshi : 「What's happened!」

Nobunaga sneers in disdain at the retainers who have just come running.

Nobunaga : 「You're too slow.」

Katsuie : 「My fault! Oyakata-sama, are you hurt!?」

Nobunaga : 「No big deal. This one's already tidied it up.」

The ninja was stooped down right there, Kageie is now fastening the rope around those arms.

Katsuie : 「You protected Oyakata-sama huh?」

Kageie : 「......」

Hideyoshi : 「......」

Nobunaga : 「What's about the gate.」

Katsuie : 「Seems like it's a plan, raising voices there to attract attentions and decrease castle guards from the real objective then using ninja to aim at Oyakata-sama's life.....」

Nobunaga : 「Surely, he must be caught.」

Katsuie : 「Well, yes......」

Hideyoshi : 「Inuchiyo has caught him but he drank poison to cut off the trace.」

Nobunaga : 「......」

Nobunaga glares sharply, spelling the word failure for the two and then lost in his own thought.

Katsuie : 「Oyakata-sama......」

Other retainers have finally reached the scene. When seeing Nobunaga, they all take a deep breath.

Retainers : 「Oyakata-sama is safe!......」

Katsuie : 「It's Kageie who saved Oyakata-sama.」

Retainer 2 : 「Eh? Kageie-dono huh...?」

Katsuie : 「All of you should not continue doubting Kageie but oppositely learn from him!」

Katsuie shouts and then everybody bows their heads, being grateful to Kageie.

Hideyoshi's gaze examining Kageie for a while then he murmurs with a tiny voice.

Hideyoshi : 「Quite a show, isn't it......」

Kageie : 「......」

Hideyoshi : 「You'd better patch it up.」

Kageie : 「Ha?」

Hideyoshi : 「Here, it's been torn.」

He's pointing at the spot around his own chest and then left.

It is only then when Kageie was talked to so that he realizes that his kimono was slightly torn.

While everyone is leaving, he puts his hand into his pocket.

Kageie : 「Ah......」

and timidly picks out what he touched with his fingers.

Kageie : 「......」

He sighs and feeling so lost. Painful shadow has clouded his eyebrows.

Maid : 「What's wrong hmm?」

Old maid happened to pass by, she's looking curiously at Kageie who's standing there stock still.

Maid : 「You're new one who just come recently, right...Kakizaki-sama...aren't you? What's the matter I wonder?」

Kageie : 「......」

As if a child seeking for help, he quietly holds out his hands.

Maid : 「Oh dear...its cord has been cut, hmm. Your important thing, I guess?」

Kageie : 「......Absolutely important.」

His face is now darken, irritated from anxiety. He is at all defenceless.

Maid : 「Oh my goodness. How come an adult can make those expressions like a little boy...Come now, It's alright. It's alright. I'll fix it for you in no time.」

She stretches her back in eagerness, patting on Kageie's shoulders then accepted what's in his hands.

Kageie : 「Ok.」

Maid : 「I'll fix it, please wait.」

Kageie : 「Umm......」

Retainer 1 : 「Can you please fix this frayed spot armor too!」

Retainer 2 : 「Please take this too!」

Maid : 「Alright! Alright! Wait a little bit in line ok.」

Looking at the old maid who takes up order from this way that way, Kageie grasps his palm which is right now holding nothing tightly.

After continue walking regardless of day and night, several days later we have arrived at Azuchi, exactly when the sun goes up high and the road was full of active merchants and travellers.

Yoshichi : 「It's a bustling town this much......」

Being surprised, Yoshichi-san keeps looking at the surroundings then lower his voice, whispering to me.

Yoshichi : 「I'll go asking if there's any information about Kakkii from people in the street. Yahiko, you come join too.」

Miu : 「Got it.」

Yoshichi-san looks around and then calling out to a woman who looks friendly nearby.

Yoshichi : 「The street here is so lively, isn't it.」

Town folk : 「Oh, are you travellers?」
