Lost Samurai: Welcome to City of Hundreds.

Chapter 5

[⁵Elemental Art of Unsheathe:- Winding Alley]…

With an upward swing of his sword, the wind around the area started to turn stronger, as they headed toward the direction of that girl, given one would also notice, that the figure of Harashi, had also disappeared with that gust. The wind followed the straight path, where that clueless girl, was still walking straight, but her leg suddenly landed on air, given she was shocked, but there was not a single, hint of worry, even though she was falling. When a gust of wind slow down her fall, she felt ticklish sensation on her body, due to wind, she smiled for a moment, when Harashi was finally there.

Harashi when Saw her fall, released

[⁵Elemental Art of Upward s***h:- Rising Tide Wind Wall]

A huge wall of wind which would cushion, once fall, was released and he used his body to rush in a low position, while his body acted as a spring, his right leg stomped on the ground creating [Thump] sound, as he rise up where his body carried all the running momentum to jump. Harashi flew like a swallow, [Body Movement Rise of Swallow] as if the time has stopped for her, Rin who was watching the scene, was enchanted by her master jump, which can be said, a step in perfection, performance for millions.

Amazing and beautiful step work, Harashi rose up as he simultaneously kicked on the tree, trunks to propel himself up, as he caught the falling girl in his embrace. Sayaka opened her eyes, as she saw a boy face close to her, who was staring at her lips, which made her a little embarrassed, but she knew, that he was the one who had helped her from falling.

“Hmm! She use the same perfume as Rin huh!”…Blush…

Harashi caught her with one hand, supporting her from her back muscles, she looked quite mature, maybe because of her Kimono dress up, given she had been blushing and still was hugging him, from preventing herself from fall. Sayaka was embarrassed, but for certain reason she was sure, that the person in front of her, was not taking advantage of her.

That was till, she saw him sniffing something, but on other thought “He might be sniffing something else, given he seems to a good guy, since his face looked, quite innocent.”

“But this guy was wearing a butler uniform, so he might be a butler for aunt household, by all that, one thing is for sure, he is a good guy, plus I don’t think anyone who want to live would not do something to me.” Sayaka smiled embarrassed and though.

“Umm! Are you alright milady.” Harashi spoke politely, as he looked at Sayaka, who seems to be blushing quite a lot. Harashi thought and smiled, Sayaka looked at grinning boy face in front of her.

‘He is just an i***t, huh!’…

Harashi then looked at the branch, he was holding and was clear, that it could snap at any moment, so he had to jump down anytime soon. Harashi looked at Sayaka and spoke “Sorry, but I think, I will let go of the branch now, so don’t look down at all cost, given it can be quite scary, even I was afraid at first. If want to look, I hope, you can look in my eyes, and I will promise to bring you down safely.”

Harashi honestly looked deep in her eyes, even though Sayaka was tempted to look down, she could nor help but look at Harashi eyes, who had been staring, right in her eyes. “Hmm!” She nodded honestly, as she felt the air surrounding them whistle, when she felt like looking down, his face would zoomed, as his stare would prevent her from looking down.

Harashi and Sayaka landed as he smiled, Sayaka looked around and found herself down, at that Harashi smelt something sweet, as he thought “Hmm! The same perfume Rin always use, maybe it might be a famous or popular one among the girls.”

Rin on the other side was a little bewildered, since why was her master sniffing, he was not a p*****t for sure, then why he was sniffing Sayaka- San. As she was looking at the scene, Alan suddenly appeared by her side, saying “Ha -ha, he must be thinking that, miss Sayaka smell like you, or both of you must have use same perfume, where he is completely clueless that, it is not perfume but lady body order, he is smelling.”

Rin blushed at that thought, as she looked at Alan and glared, but she knew Alan might be 99% right on the point, given he is almost like a mind reader, when it comes to his master. Rin nodded as Sayaka was done looking around found, that she was still in his embrace, his body was stuck to her close, she looked up and spoke at Harashi face “Thank you, but will you mind letting me go, it is quite embarrassing in such a pose.”

Harashi also realise, so he nodded but a hint of blush, was form on his face, which faded completely very quickly, Rin smiled at that as she grin and walked toward the duo, Harashi looked at them, Rin was startle where Alan was not, since he knew from the very beginning, that Harashi has been aware of their movement in the shadow.

Sayaka found that, Harashi was not even looking at her after that, felt her confidence taking a hit, ‘On that thought, why was I thinking about that.’ Sayaka ponder as she looked at Harashi, when her face became hotter ‘am I…’

Sayaka stood in front of Harashi silently just for a second, when she heard people steps Coming from behind, she turned to look behind, saw Rin and Alan, given how many time they had acquainted with her, she was quite familiar with the both of the figure. Sayaka, politely bow in front of them, to express her greetings, given the respected place of Rin and Alan has changed, and in the Novelty figure, she has to greet them properly once.

When someone got a new position in society, it was an imperial rule, for those who are below age of 16 even if they are the children of the King himself, they had to present their sincerity by bowing, especially in the case of Duke and his attendant. Since at the birth of Harashi, he was given a Novelty title of Duke, and today the both of them which includes Rin and Alan, had been given the position of Harashi attendees.

“Miss Sayaka, you don't have to stand on ceremony around us, I hope you can accept this request of our, please take care of us from this moment on.” Rin smiled politely, greeting their exchange, as she looked at Harashi and smiled politely saying

“Master!”

Sayaka, was really surprised by the turn of events, as she looked at Harashi, given she has been aware of Harashi, different perspective due to his close to null touch with society, have rather developed him in a weird manner. Harashi smiled embarrassedly and nodded “ So your name was Sayaka- San, huh! Then let me apologize for, my previous actions of ignorance, my name is Harashi Saikage from Saikage family.”

“Not at all! It should be me, who had to apologize to you, given I didn't even said my gratitude, for your earlier rescue.” Sayaka felt embarrassed and guilty, she hurriedly shook her head, Harashi was enjoying it, given how cute Sayaka was acting, before he knew he was patting her head as he spoke “It is alright, given I am a Samurai after all, for Samurai it is given to help, the one who in need right!”

Harashi spoke with his heart, as he patted on his chest, Sayaka smiled at the sight, as she nodded and looked at Harashi, given his image started to form in her mind, the image of a boy, who was kind enough to save her, who is usually a little weird, but was not a bad guy at all.

After greetings, Harashi came to know, why she was strolling in a forest like this, since the reason was quite crude and honest “I was lost.” Harashi, was not surprised since if not for his training, even he would have lost in this Mansion, given how big it was. Rin and Alan laughed, given the reason for Sayaka getting lost was not related to terrain or something, on the other hand she and her sister were directionally challenged person.

Sayaka was 18 year old, while she is third year student at High School department, and has been acting as an student council Vice President. Sayaka also have little sister, well if not for height, both of them can’t be distinguished, due to their facial and structural similarity.

After they were sent back to the home, Harashi mother was waiting for them, silently waiting for them, after Sayaka got an earful of lecture, she was siting by his mother side sulking silently. Harashi on the other hand was not punished, given he was not lost or something.

Sayaka had been called, since Emithia had a request for her to look after Harashi, since it was going to be the first time for him, joining and attending a High School, it was inevitable that many will try to approach him, with their different motives. Saikage family only heir, is not a simple tag to carry, and Harashi was about to face it’s reality, so Emithia wanted to make sure, that someone would be their at the time of his needs.
