Lost Samurai: Welcome to City of Hundreds.

Chapter 2: Down Town and Journey.

Two soldiers, stood in front of Harashi, even though their stoic face was glaring at people behind him, they would reveal a smile at Harashi. Since among both of them, who didn’t recognise this brat. Even though Harashi was only 14 years old, he had an education, which was on par with Imperial College. Since Harashi had been visiting this place, once in the year, the incidents surrounding him made him a little famous among people.

After taking a glimpse at the pass, they let him go, where those with swords guard’s, smiled politely at him as they continued their chat. Harashi also nodded politely, as he entered the city gate. The area beside the city Gate was fenced by electric wires, hard to enter, plus if a wire is cut off, the alarm would go off, due to lack of electricity.

‘Wire were in series, given a single cut, would stop the current flow. Also after crossing the fence, one had to pass the mine area, which was impossible to cross within an hour. Where an hour, was enough for security to reach the area.

Since the country foundation was old, no one was bored enough to attack it, given neighbouring country, we're already dealing with their own set of problems. On that side, it was our country, who were silently taking initiative as secretly sending spies.

The only thing our country, was proud of was our technology.’ Harashi mused, given he was truly tempted to give it a go, at the intersection line. Given, he wanted to test out, how far he can go at that.

“Harashi, please don’t look like that.” A middle-aged man run at Harashi, given a bystander was able to guess, what he was thinking, while they also remembered him running inside that once.

Harashi smiled embarrassedly, given he was well aware that, whatever that middle is man was saying, everything was on the point. Also, he remembers that time, he had to burden all of them in the past, where his grandfather was laughing proudly, while others were helplessly looking at them.

Since every one of them, had to go through the hell of a lecture, by the upper echelon, telling them how lousy was their security system, where a single child was able to bypass it, and they were only barely able to find him out by luck.

Harashi nodded as he started moving, making Middle-aged men breathless, given he was on the edge, in front of this kid, everyone in this down Town, has to be on edge. This time he had to go through the station, according to his grandfather, a guy would be waiting for him. Harashi walked toward the station, where he did found the men, or he should say, that the men found him. “Welcome, Harashi -Sama. Please come this way, I would be the one, to escort you to misses and master home.”

Harashi nodded, as he walked. Harashi was a good looking boy, with his body built and his training, every one of his steps was silent, he was walking steadily but for everyone, it seems so fast. He had the Charisma, of that of his grandfather.

He was not aware of it, given he was comparing it to his grandfather, where he had an oblivious lack of experience.

Given among the commoner, he was out of their leagues, he had blue-violet eyes, as his hair had a hint of dark blue with natural black hair. His dress was that of training and held uniqueness compare to others.

Matt, smiled, as he found people looking, at his young Master. He stood tall and proud, without giving any tardiness, to match with his master, momentum and imposingness.

Several people took a glimpse at Harashi, where the gazes, carried the hint of curiosity since it was common to see people as unique as Harashi, on that point, it was the first time, for most of them to see this.

After entering the train, Harashi smiled and spoke “Matt, you can relax a little now, given I wish for your presence, for more than you can think.” Matt nodded, as he bowed when he revealed a smile, where he was trying to hide them.

After the train left, Matt was asked to let Harashi go alone, after the train station. Matt bid his farewell at the next station, while Harashi was left alone on the train “You said, you will be guiding me to mother home, huh! That call must be from Gramps, I guess.”

Harashi was able to guess the person behind the call and was helpless about it since, even he was unable to oppose that decision, while it was not a bad thing, for him to experience a new and exciting world alone. Over that points, he was quite confident enough, that he had the capability, for his security and belonging, when Harashi sweated, given he had forgotten his wooden sword with Matt.

“Agh! How stupid, my attack power is almost half, without a sword, I am unable to release half of my power, how can I survive, this fearsome city without any weapon and equipment.” Harashi was devastated, as he looked around carefully, as he carried the lingering fear of maze called city…

After calming down, Harashi who was sitting at the station, finally set foot outside the station, given guard’s of the station was looking at him suspiciously, due to his expression. Harashi was forced to go out, since he didn’t wish to go out and meet them at their office, after all, he was a grown-up boy.

Harashi looked around, while his face was sucked dry by sweating, when a boy and his father passed him by, where boy smiled and spoke pointing at Harashi “Look, father look, the person seems to be lost.” At which boy father, looked at Harashi and thought. He walked and spoke to Harashi “Are you, alright young man.”

Harashi looked at a Middle-aged man, given the person doesn’t seem suspicious, to current him and he was a little relieved of his tension, talking to another person, can make a man at ease, after all, we are social animals.

“Sorry, but I think, I will be lost, if I were to go back home alone,” Harashi spoke as he looked at Middle-aged men, since it was not uncommon, for those children from Higher Status and unique family, to study in home and are usually, prone to get lost at City. Middle-aged men were not surprised, as he smiled warmly.

“Then go and book a cab, you see those car’s, they can drop you as long as you have money and place address.” He spoke to guide Harashi, while Harashi nodded thankfully, as he memorised both father and son face in his memory. When by the edge of his eye’s, he saw a man, rushing toward them, of course, the man had, no good intentions where Harashi took a deep breath, as he took a half step to shift three of them. Which took the father and son duo by surprise, while they finally noticed a man, who was trying to put his hand inside their pocket, but was caught by Harashi.

With a simple twist, men screamed in pain, when the world surrounding them revolved. Harashi pulls the men centre of gravity while grabbing cloth from the men waist and pulling out a parabolic smash, as he prevented men head from hitting the ground since he was not trying to kill them.

Police noticed the commotion and came rushing, given everything was recorded in visual crystal, and they saw them first handily, they thanked Harashi, while he was allowed to leave. Father and Son duo looked at Harashi and thought “If you are that strong, then why were you so afraid of going into the city. Whatever, but thank you unusual boy/ brother.”

Taking the Cab, Harashi who had memorised every single address, had a smooth journey from then on. After he came out of the cab, Matt was standing outside smiled at his Young Master. Harashi felt a little guilty “Sorry, old Matt, I made you wait for so long.”

Matt shook his head, as he welcomed him inside the mansion gate, even the driver of Cab was stunned, inside the gate which seemed 10 or meters long. A beautiful forest, greeted them, even the air felt fresh and cold, Harashi was already familiar with it, so he couldn’t help but smile.

Paying the money, where Matt shook his head with a smile when the driver gave him returning the money. Where a small card was given to the driver, at which the driver seemed to be quite happy as he drove away from his Cab.

Harashi, who had been keeping a tab at their actions, smiled given he was satisfied by that, he walked steadily, where old Matt catch up to him, as they continued to travel on their foot, after 5 minute’s of travelling, they finally saw the mansion, which was huge! Nope, not enough to explain it clearly, given huge word is belittling the size of the Mansion.

Harashi was not very used to this sight it is not normal, for the only group of 50 people at most, to have such a huge living space. An army of thousands or two will be able to station inside the first floor, but the Mansion In-front of him had 7 floors.
