113 5.2 Himura Kenshin Made Up System (1/2)

”Hey kid, stop what you're doing, we are not going to camp here for a few days, you know. The firewood you had fetched could well burn for a few days. Here, go get yourself something hot to drink.”

One of the samurai gestured me to get a drink after seeing me gather enough firewood to last through more than a few nights. I gingerly walked over to the fire and a small kettle was sitting near it. I poured myself using a wooden up and found that they had made green tea in it. The smell of the green tea was welcoming and there were also some roasted fish that had been caught earlier while I was busying myself collecting firewood.

The masks from all the Samurais had been taken off along with their protective helmets. I can see that Hiko-sama had a clean-shaven face, and he looked pretty young, almost mid 20's. His hair was straight black and through his eyebrows, it was slanted and this gives him a kind of permanent frown look. However, he looked pretty decent.

I took the cup of green tea with me and sat in front of Hiko-sama. I wanted to ask about his life experiences but I held back since I had transmigrated into this 11-year-old boy's body, and any question may incite suspicion. So I better stick with some boyish questions instead.

”How long would we need to travel in this weather? So the night would be safe for us to idle around and rest and continue our journey once day breaks tomorrow, Hiko-sama?”

”We can't put it as idle around, even if there were no signs of enemies, each of us would be taking 1-hour watch from 11 at night right till daybreak. There would be another 2 days at most to travel to my village and there will be a night to rest like this. Unless we would be unfortunate enough to meet with common enemies at night, then we need to break camp and push on. Why don't you take dinner, there's some onigiri if you like. ”

”Thank you Hiko-sama for your enlightenment and thank you for your kind offer of dinner. I would love to have an onigiri and right after, I would do some meditation.”

”Haa... Haa... You really surprised me, Himura-kun. Go on ahead, ask for the onigiri dinner from Miroku-sama, and eat it with the fresh fish we had caught during your absence.”

”Thank you again, Hiko-sama. I go on ahead now.”

With that, I bowed and approached Miroku-sama who was busying himself by staking the fish he and his other buddies had caught using some slender sticks that he poked through the mouth of the fish right to its tail. He then poked it into the ground near the fire and let the heat generating from the fire slowly cook the fish.

Miroku-sama took an onigiri out from his side bag and offered one to me. I took it in both hands, thanked him and bowed slightly and ate there beside the fire as I watched the fish being grilled. He took one that had been cooked earlier and offered one to me. I ate ravishly as I soon discovered that this body of mine had not eaten for the past 24 hours or more and had been lying in the snow half buried until I got transmigrated in it.

Luckily the brain was not frozen over and I'd definitely become a pickle for life. The stickleback fish I ate was fresh and was well done and it accompanies well with the onigiri that I was eating. It was a staple food for Japanese with the rice that was shaped like a triangle. It could last a good 3 days if stored in a proper way.

The fish head and its spinal bones were so succulent that I devoured everything, leaving only the wooden stick that once held the fish up for cooking. Seeing me done with eating, Miroku-sama offered another fish and onigiri for me but I refused, saying that we still have a long way to go and I would like to meditate instead.

He laughed at me, for seeing a scrawny kid that eats so little and wishes to continue to meditate instead. He finds it a bit weird but he didn't take the matters too seriously.

After thanking Miroku-sama for his share of onigiri and grilled fish, I went near the stream, found a flat spot and began to sit in a lotus position. I was trying to find out if I am still able to perform the Kamehameha, gathering of the energies and perform Psi energy spheres by using this body.

After a few minutes, I am able to visualise myself gathering energies and capturing it within my two hands at the sides. I let it dissipate as I do not intend to openly show what I could do to any of the Samurais unintentionally. The rest of the practises also was successful as I was able to summon the Psi energy spheres. Even the handseals worked perfectly.

At least in this Leap, I still had acquired the skills I had attained in my previous few Leaps. I wonder what I would learn next as I sat there, searching for the memories deep within the recesses of my mind. The previous skills I had spoken to Hiko-sama was not a lie as it formed the foundation of what this Himura had learned throughout his life in the past village.

At least with the new set of skills, I could slowly increase its proficiency. Unlike some novels with a system, I had to rely on someone to access my skills. Even when comes to pill making or blacksmithing, I still have to access the memories and be physically in front of a furnace, a mixing pot, mortar and pestle and the apprehension of mixing certain herbs to make a herbal medicinal paste or pill.

”Sigh... Nothing is a free lunch for me in this novel. Others can simply have a system to check their progress and attain certain abilities just by touching, unlike me... Everything has to come from practice.” I thought to myself as I wished that I had a system to rely on but there is always Max to rely on sometimes. But in this 19th-century era, where can I find a phone that doesn't even exist, that I could summon Max as and when I needed?!?

”So unfair... Sigh...” I relaxed from my meditative state and position and just lied flat on the sides of the stream spread eagles like someone who was about to make snow angels. Maybe I should make some snow angels since I am considered as an 11-year-old kid.

Laying down in the cold and hard snow, I began to arrange my thoughts just like how a system would be like:
