chapter 3

3 weeks have passed . the samurai are living peacefully fighting the cragk helping other villages looking for news. During this time Sameari’s  health has developed but she is still avoiding her husband .

Ito and Ryõma have been training Kazouka ,

Ryõma is very cruel on him . Kazouka has felt that he has become useless as he don’t go on fights much like the others 

While at the bank of the stream �'

“What’s that Azai?” Mizuki asked The funny robot playing with A little monkey

“That’s a monkey, he saved me then I saved him while fighting those trashes of metal”

Life went Normal.. as they got themselves used to this kind of rough life...

And on one night they gathered to attack at the main ship at the east. It was a simple plan they all go together fighting every troop one by one but on the fight Ryõma left them and went on his own . Ito shouted “leave him & go on” but Kazouka went after him and got lost.

After the attempt failed they ran back & Ryõma appeared, Arai asked “where is the boy ?”

Ito said “the greeny .. I saw him leaving the group, he can die on his own”

Mayo couldn’t sleep the night waiting for her lover.

The next morning, At the inn

Kazouka returned back, he entered the dinning room

Sei stood “come quickly Kazouka-kun, rest “

The beaten up boy pointed his sword towards Ryõma “where the hell have you been ?”

All of them stopped eating and looked carefully

Ryõma looked slowly “I went to fight... in another direction”

“liar, I saw you talking to one of the emperor’s guards, he gave you sth. Whose side are you on ?”

“I don’t have an obligation to tell you any thing “

“I need to know Whom I’m following as a leader”

“You are just a naive half baked nitwit you are of no use” Ryõma said those words provoking the boy. Kazouka became fiercely and tried to attack him but

SLAAAPP

Mayo slapped Kazouka in front of everyone. the boy was so shocked as he lost the ability of talking, he just sheathed his sword after hearing { go away, he is right, you are of no use} these words from the woman he could die for .

Sei gave him some onigri -Rice balls- while he was going to leave .

That night Mayo burst crying while holding Sei

“I didn’t want him go on fights, I wanted him be safe”

While Ryõma who wanted to protect that unexperienced talented swordsman, watched the little girl moaning for her lover .

he went outside to see Arai , Ito and Azai were looking to him suspiciously , Ito said “I don’t care about the greeny but I can trust his words , where did you go inside the ship on your own ?”

Ryõma put his sword beside him and sat “I am the first prince’s acquaintance”

“The prince !!”

“Not that one.. the other one who was killed”

“I tried to know more about his death and the one who I met was the advisor of the young prince, he gave me information about where is the prince freeloading ?!”

“And what did you know ?”

“Nothing till now but the king is on the loose & the Young prince Imprisoning his Older brother’s wife while Hunting his father & Messing around everyday”

 

Next day, in vast desert,

a young boy is eating an onigri sitting on a rock, bearing the hotness of the desert but his mind is still bothered by the scene of his woman clinging to Ryõma and slapping him in front of everyone, saying those words  to assure his uselessness

“I won’t come back , I will never come back , I will make you see Sakamoto Ryõma, Mayo, everyone. you’ll fear me”
