Quantum Leap Vol 8 Harris Treaty July 29, 1858

C013 Yet Another New Discovery...!!!

Nekoyasha laughed at Enyo's antics and was given a friendly punch by Miko who happened to be his lover, while Saika looked far away at a distance where only I knew it would be searching for Hoshi-sama that was busy with his activities in the monastery with Haruto.

Hoshi-sama had been busy in the monastery for he was preparing 15 talismans and placing them into a kind of necklace that would be able to temporarily dispel the protective barrier in the village against any Youkai transformation and such.

In this way, Fasuto Japan Airways would not need him every time the Tanukis would take flight ferrying the merchants back to where they had come from.

"Izumi, you wished to devout yourself to Harune? If you do, then cut the chase and go meet Hoshi-sama so he would make arrangements for you both to be properly married... And as I've said earlier to Harune, there would be a lot of little Harunes and Izumis running about the place very soon. Hahahahahaha."

"Sensei, you do agree about us marrying each other?" Izumi asked as she held me in an embrace lock that made me difficult to breathe. Haiyo... How could we think of marrying and having kids at such a tender age? Our children won't call me daddy or papa, they would be calling me Big Brother instead. Hahahahaha.

"Sure, why not? Ask this kid if he can shoulder the whole responsibility or not. Furthermore, he had shouldered more than 3500 employees at this moment, how about him shouldering a family?"

"Own house, own privacy, own playground inside the house, many kids...all would fall in line from the eldest to the youngest, marching to school. It would be called Harune's little army. Hahahahaha."

Then I looked at Nekoyasha and remarked, "Soon there would be little Nekoyasha running around too. Hahahahahaha." and Miko blushed even redder than a tomato on hearing it.

"Right guys from the Wonder 8, haven't you got any new assignments lately with the Youkai Taijiya business lately?" I asked and Saika answered that the menial jobs were taken by her father and his team members since they don't find it difficult to deal with the current Youkai for this moment.

"Ah...then in that's the case, why don't you guys help out in the future development of this town? This bricklaying path is the main project, after that, it would building the rest of the outermost layers of District to be partly bricks and wood panelling."

"I may have plans to extend their paths to be brick layered as well. Then about their WC facilities to be increased to Octa Toilet and Bath instead of the present. The cost would be borne by Ours Truly so it's part of the community project."

"With paved roads, there won't be sloshy, wet and muddy grounds anymore. Diseases would be reduced, hopefully. More outhouses would be built with toilet and bath facilities in them. A simple bath would suffice for the households of 12 sharing these."

"Free medical support is currently being carried out by little Kaede now to provide a set of medicine for cough, flu, fever and headaches and nausea. She would extend the medicinal pills to aid sleeping, fights against stress and depression and other happy and relaxed mood enhancers in the form of powder or teas."

"This funding would be done through Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha without taking a cent from the government. Even the paving of roads is borne by our fundings. Even though it is a small contribution to society, at least it could benefit the people in the long run."

"Little Kaede, could you bring your portion of a single medicinal value over to my house later? I wanted to experiment with something. Just give me some servings for a single medicine over, and I let you have them back tomorrow." a sparkle came over my eyes as I remembered that I could give something a try by using my Kamehameha and fuse with my Psi Healing Energy.

"Yes, Senpai. I will put it outside the garden later. By the way, Kaneko wanted to see you regards something that you had asked him to do."

"OK, send him over then... Thanks, little Kaede." I replied and patted her head while she walked briskly back to Saika's house to call Kaneko who was putting up with them.

" Harune... It is ready..!!" hollered Kaneko from the distance as he carried the extra-large sketchpad over his head as he tiptoed on the paved ground that was dug 6 inches deep at the moment.

"Hehehehe... The portrait that you asked for us ready...!!" Kaneko places the large sketchpad in the table and he flipped it open first to show his father in his original form. And then another one which he drew his father as a full-fledged Youkai with him being carried over the shoulders. And lastly, he showed the group drawing of the 9 of us... All with different poses and were so lifelike that it looked like it was taken from a camera...!!!

"Can I take these with me? Just for a few days?" I asked Kaneko and saw that he was teary-eyed when he showed his drawing of his father with him being carried on the former's shoulders. "I would take care of this properly." Kaneko looked up and at me and gulped and he made me promise that I would take care of his drawings.

I smiled at him and he left with the rest of the group back to their houses. At least one thing is sure, Nekoyasha and his friends are all safe for this moment.

I invited Hiko-sama to walk with me to the trading district and I asked him where I could get these drawings to be framed and hung. He said he knew the place, where else but RECTO'S... Hahahahahaha. It is a one-stop place for making certificates as well as framing services and Hiko-sama ushered me there.

After showing the drawings, even the owners at Recto mentioned that it looked professional and lifelike. There is all sort of frames available and he found the right sizes which he immediately placed the drawings within. It looked perfect...!

We paid for it and Hiko-sama helped to carry the frames back and when we got home, he places them on the terrace of the house. From afar, the picture frames with the drawings looked mighty magnificent and I can see that Kaneko had made a tremendous effort for these drawings to be lifelike.

I called Kaneko over and when he saw it was beautifully framed, he was shrieking with joy...!! He didn't expect me to gift it for him that way. It was a pleasant surprise and he jumped up and hugged me and said I'm going to be his 3rd brother, after Enyo.

I laughed and little did I realise, through the laughter, a tear came rolling past my cheek on a hot sunny afternoon...

=*=

I told Kaneko that the frames would be hung on the community hall for everyone to view and appreciate the fine arts that Kaneko had done in the past week. When Kaneko returned home, I looked a this back and wondered what kind of father he had before. And what made the Thunder Brothers kill his father in the first place.

If it is just for fun and sports, Kaneko's father happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The world is alright, but the people or devil's living inside it made it cruel.

As I was thinking this to myself I heard Little Kaede calling out my name as she sat on the garden stool. "Hahahaha...I'm sorry little Kaede, I was thinking of something just now. I didn't hear you approaching."

"Senpai, you asked me for some medicinal herbs to make a single medicine type, am I right?"

"Yes, Little Kaede. Your right, I did ask for these herbs. What do you have there?"

"Berry leaf Senpai. These could be dried and cut and made into tea, but would also be best if made into small pills to stop their diarrhoea. What are you going to do, Senpai?"

"Like what you said, make into small pills. I could help you manufacture them and all you need is to advise me how big it would be according to size. These leaves, if made into pills, how many would I be able to get?"

"I'm not sure, Senpai... 1 leaf can make 1 tea so it's like one pill per leaf. There's a bunch of leaves here, I think more than 12, so would be able to take 12 pills then."

The ratio of 1:1 is very tedious. Let me try this when everyone had fallen asleep or something. Hmm, Hiko-sama had been in the toilet too long since he told me he got some stomach problem. Maybe due to stress when he saw me pengsan earlier.

"OK little Kaede, you can come back tomorrow, could you call Izumi for me?"

"Sure, Senpai... By the way, I heard that both you and Izumi is getting married, is that true?"

"It's true, but not today or now. OK, run along now and ask for Izumi to be here."

"OK Senpai... See you tomorrow. I'm going off to bed now. Goodnight Senpai..." she excused herself and heads straight to her plot of land where she had taken care of at least more than 25 herb plants, flowers and roots.

" Harune, you called?" Izumi was wearing her one-piece kimono and was half expecting her to jump on me and started to grind me for experience points.

"Yes, Izumi... Since you have decided to devote your life to me and the future, I would let you in a little secret. Remember his the time I shot a fireball at a pile of rubbish when the Mayor had first time came here to tell us to tear down the buildings?"

"Yes, Harune I was there when you threw the fireball and burned that pile of rubbish and warned us not to stab you or double-cross you, or the person would end up like that."

"OK, let's go inside for a while, be careful of Kaneko's drawings. I showed it to him and he was happy. I wanted to hang inside the community building when it's ready."

I lead Izumi inside and we sat on the living room. I heard Hiko-sama groaning in the toilet and was having some stomach trouble if some sort. Maybe he didn't have enough fibre and was shitting all over.

"Sensei...! Izumi is here with me in the living room... I want to show her something..."

The answer I got from Hiko-sama was just a burst of air and watery s**t that came out from his ass. That would be painful indeed.

I told Izumi this these leaves were berry leaves and were collected by little Kaede. This is good for diarrhoea as what Hiko-sama was having right now. I told her to count the leaves and hold it first in her hands.

I sat cross-legged and I gathered energy and summoned the Kamehameha on my left hand. A small fireball was dancing on my palm. Then I concentrated and gathered Psi Healing Energy sphere into my right hand it became small marble-sized energy.

I slowly brought this Psi Healing Energy Sphere into my left hand and let it fused. I was cringing my face because I have never tried to combine these two and was expecting a fusion explosion of some sort but it was a successful merger and red fireball slowly became blueish white.

In the real world, I have never visualised anything and now I'm trying out for the very first time. Because little Kaede had gotten a big dirtball from Chi Kong earlier it gave me an idea.

I asked for a leaf from Izumi and dropped it into the blueish-white flames in my left hand. I asked for medicine round pellets to be made about 6mm thickness and began to visualise it. After a few seconds, I felt something rise to the surface and I asked Izumi to extend her free hand while I shake my left hand and soon a few medicinal pellets came out and landed in Izumi's free hand...!!
