137 5.26 Our Guests Arrives And The Plan For Karada Body (2/2)
I pointed out to Hiko-sama the words Karada in bold and the origin and the weight of the soap. Hiko-sama nodded in apprehension.
”You said there was a timer for the burner and the machine they mix here?”
”Yes, Sensei. According to my calculation, they would stop soon. The timers will cut off the gas supply as well as turn off this mixer. However, since this production was not ready yet, I will adjust the timer for another 30 hours which means that it would be set in 10 hours. However, I would drop in the early morning as I wake up and later during lunchtime tomorrow to check on the progress.”
”Ah, I see... So it needs constant monitoring as well. So how are you going to make the soap?”
”Interesting question, Sensei. In this area, I may need your help as we worked out one scent each time to mould the soap. It's manual work and I can't think of a machine to do it automatically since I am not expertise in that area. Even if I am able to visualise it, I would exhaust my internal energies and I might die and trapped in this production area.”
”Alright, I understand. Let's go back. Anything I'm not sure, I will ask you again. You really come from the future, eh kid?”
Hiko-sama shook his head when he recollected that I came from the future. We soon logged off and leave our meditative state and back to reality.
Hiko-sama sat there and placed his arms behind him for support and looked at me.” If you claimed that you are from the future, then what are you doing here in 1860?”
”I am here because I transmigrated into this body of an 11-year-old boy. You were supposed to chase off bandits that were pillaging the village and managed to slay every single one of them before they had a chance to kill this boy. His name was Shinta and you took me in as a disciple as well as an adopted son.”
”Then for 4 years, you taught Shinta the art of ”Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: The Flying Heavenly Sword Style” and he wasn't able to fully master it and thus only completes the first 7 moves. There was a war and a conflict ensued between you and Shinta and he left to join the war where he met a girl by the name of Tomoe which happened to the fiancée of one of the assassins Shinta had killed.”

”This was the part of it and your name is not Hiko Seijuro also since if you were the 12th successor of Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: The Flying Heavenly Sword Style. Your other name would be Niitsu Kakunoshin as a Potter.”
”Your character is a lazy person and does not have the intent to socialise and prefer to work on your pots in the mountain. You also don't intend to work for other people and that's why you excel at pottery best.”
Hiko-sama sat there listening to what I had said with his eyes wide open and his dropped jaw. He looked at me as if I am reading him like a book. Suddenly we heard some voices in front of the house and realised that our guests are here for the evening.
”Hey, Sensei... Snap out of this! Our Guests are here!” I shook Hiko-sama's shoulders and brought him back to reality. He blinked a few times and went forward and I closed my room door in case they wanted to use the bathroom and passed through the door and would start wondering where all the items had gone to.
I went outside and greeted them and asked if they had finished their work and how the rest of the day went.
”Ah... One-sama bought some gyoza and kushikatsu for lunch just now and shared with me. See, I still have the balance money you gave us earlier. Hhuummpphh....! ”
Izumi was so shocked at Riko that she had to use her hands to shut her niece up. She then bowed towards us in embarrassment towards her niece's open attitude.
”Haa... Haa... Haa... Don't worry, it is alright. Its just food to fill your sustenance that's all.”
”Yes, Hiko-sama... It was the first time we ate gyoza and kushikatsu and hhmmppphh...”
Once again Izumi covered Riko's mouth with her hand and this time Riko took the opportunity and bite it.
”Hey...! If it is not for me you would be...” suddenly Izumi let her words hang in midair as she looked down and stared at her own feet and Riko felt a kind of remorse and tugged at Izumi's sleeve and said, ”Onee-sama, please forgive Riko. I forgot we are in front of strangers and we are still strangers in this part of town. I won't leak out where we come from, Onee-sama please forgive me...”
Hiko-sama watched the scene unfold and as for me, I understood how they tiny they had felt for so long and this is the first time they had been treated nicely by a couple of strangers.
”Haiya... Haiya... Haiya... It is a happy occasion so don't think too much okie. We are here for dinner and since we have company, I am sure that it would open up a huge appetite for us. Hee... Hee... Hee...”
I went up to Riko and patted her head and I did the same to Izumi as well subconsciously. It was as if I was with Akira/Akiara during her time before her accident and suffered from amnesia in the 3rd series of this novel.
”Oh, sorry, Onee-sama I went to pat your head earlier... Because since I did it to Riko-Chan, I also did it to you...”
Damn you Himura, you are not a high school kid in Nagoya but you are now in an 11-year-old body! Don't go around and patting someone's head especially if they are older than you! It's a sign of disrespect!
”Alaa... Alaa... Alaa... Please don't stand on ceremony, but please sit down here in the terrace. Please forgive us for the poor reception of guests since our order of the garden furniture is not here yet. Please...Izumi-chan and Riko-Chan... Take a seat here by the terrace. Himura-kun is about to make some green tea.”
I took the signal to enter the kitchenette and prepare some hot tea with them. I hope the two young girls would not be afraid of Hiko-sama who was right now hugging his jar of sake.
After the water is hot, I served hot green tea with for cups and brought them out in a tray. There were Kaki fruits and I brought them on a small saucer and a knife along with the hot tea. The kaki was now ripe but not overripe and was only bought about 3 days ago I think.
”Come let's have some tea and cut these kaki fruits which are in season right now till the end of winter and early spring.” I offered the tray and I went to take out the top leaf part and cut the fruit four ways.
Izumi and Riko were already sitting on the other side of the terrace and when I offered the fruits to them, I noticed Riko was again tugging the end of the Izumi's sleeve and looked up at the latter's face.
Izumi then reached out for the saucer and gave one to Riko and she took one slice for herself. It seems that these pair had been under the influence of the underprivileged and somehow had faced a certain degree of hardship and then another part being abused either psychologically or emotionally and these effects would take quite some time to recover.
”Don't you need to go to school, Senpai? Are you doing work on your own or someone else makes you do it? Asked Riko out of curiosity.
”Well, at first I had to find work since I need to have some coins jiggling in my pockets. If I don't have any money, then I will worry a lot. Because I can't depend on Hiko-sama for all my needs, is that right, Sensei?”
”Hmm...? Eh... You're talking to me, kid? Sorry, my mind was thinking about the things you showed me earlier and I can't stop thinking about it. You were saying...?”
”I said, I cannot always depend on Sensei for my foods and clothes forever right? We have to work for ourselves and earn some decent living.”
”As for Sensei, his hobby is drinking so what he had in his arms right now is his beloved sake which in fact tastes like yumeshu.”
Suddenly there was a gust of wind and the printed paper that was lying beside Hiko-sama was picked up by the sudden breeze and it landed right in Izumi's lap.
I wanted to catch it but I happen to hold to the kettle with one hand on the wooden handle while the other was holding the spout.
”Damn....” I thought as only my eyes were able to see the printed paper float in the air and twirled down and landed squarely in Izumi's lap.
