194 5.83 Akai Hane Kodachi Is Born (1/2)
It was already past midnight, the crickets were chirping in the dark as everyone had gone to bed except for the 3rd shift employees, of course. An owl hooted in the distance and then it was just simply silence that enveloped the whole little town of Kitakata.
I was tossing around on the tatami mat in my room. It's not because of the stifling warm weather, but somehow it is like something that needs to be done.
What needs to be done still? I was literally placing my head on the Takamura, and the next moment I had held it in my arms. Haiyoo... It is like having too much black coffee that couldn't make me sleep at all!
I was literally unable to bring myself sleep and wanted to check on Inuyasha if he is asleep too. I was tossing around on the tatami mat and mumbling to myself in different other languages. Frankly, those were curse words in Mandarin, Hokkien, Thai, Spanish as Tagalog. Hahahha. It is simply too colourful for me to state it here in this chapter though.
”Sensei, are you asleep right now? I can't sleep and there is something bugging me right now and I can't figure out anything about it... Can we talk for a while?”
”Sure kid, I'm a light sleeper so I don't think I have a problem listening to you. What's seems to be on your mind right now? Is the little adventure that we had back in Tokyo seems to be bugging you, especially the Confrontation with Hiten and Manten?”
”I don't know Sensei, it's like I have to do something which I am supposed to do but I don't know what is the issue. Haiyooo... I never had this type of thing before, it is like an unaccomplished mission or task, but there's no clue to it.”
”I think you should have a girlfriend of anything... You had told me about it before right? You had about 3 girlfriends in the past life before coming to this era.”
”Hahaha... That's not it, Sensei. It's not about getting a girlfriend or something. It wouldn't even change the future or its course of direction at all in having a girlfriend. If I'm not bound to this body and am a teenager, then it would be something else.”
”Maybe you should give Izumi a chance. She has the hots for you, and if I were you I wouldn't give up the chance at all.”
”She's 18 la Sensei... And I am an 11-year-old kid at this moment. That's a 7 years difference. Hahahaha... ”
”Nah... I don't think it would be the case, but as a friend, I think it should be fine, but in a relationship, I don't think it's feasible and workable. Maybe in a few years to come, but not now though.”
”I can't help you too, kid. The thing that's bothering you right now seems rather complicated and it seems that you need to do more adventures to get it out of your system.”
”Or maybe you need to get hit on the head a few times to wake up the senses in you... Hahahaha. Just like Inuyasha and Shippo. They seemed to get along quite well, even though it may look rather childish to me. But considering their age, and their background, I think Shippo is looking up to Inuyasha as his elder brother.”
”I can't say much about Hachi though, he had been assigned to Hoshi-sama, so what little adventure you might have in the future, the 8 of you would be together as the elite team.”
”Kikyo and Inuyasha, Sango and Hoshi-sama, Kohaku and Kirara, and lastly Shippo and me. Everyone had their partner, while little Kaede would be in this little town to assist the preparations of herbs and medicine for the villagers here. Sensei would be left here alone with the Execom members and the 6 Plant Managers.”
”Don't worry about the operations of Fasuto Japan, it is already in full progress ahead and the funds we had collected are well enough to sustain this whole little town.”
”The corporation alone had already succeeded in the trading district by more than half of their output. This bustling little town had already blossomed from a sleepy village right to an influential business and talking point in Japan alone.”
”Go right ahead and prepare your little adventures. You may take along some funds with you, we won't mind at all since you need money while your friends might need some financial support along the way too. Just make sure to be safe and write in a note or two to let us know how you beef doing, that's all.”
”You're right, Sensei. Maybe along the way, we might be able to get some clues to what my mind had been bothering throughout this night. Let me prepare some homework first and then I'd inform the rest.”
”That's great. And now back to sleep. We both had a long day tomorrow and we see if we need to replenish any of the Refined Steel in our warehouse or not. We need to have a constant supply while you're gone.”
”Alright Sensei... Have a good night's rest. Sorry to disturb you and we'd see what we can do tomorrow.”
+-==The next following day==-+
I wrote some letters for our destinations which would be carried by the messengers from the Messengers Guild in our village. I planned to send the letters first to the prefecture around our little town and targets the smaller town or villages.
I had summoned the rest of the team and asked their opinions of outreaching to the villages with the intended Prefecture. It may be a lot of work, but we need to know the status of each smaller town and villages, instead of blindly barging or wandering around.
I carefully explained to the team that in the meantime, we could just chill around or maybe train to become stronger than we used to be. I gestured Inuyasha over and whispered that I might present him with a Kodachi that would be useful in the future. He liked the idea and asked me what it would look like and u explain it is going to be about 3 foot in length.
He then asked me what he is going to do with a short blade, and I said the most important factor is its uses and not the size of the blade. He nodded and asked me when I would be doing it and I explained that I need to forge one that might take a day or two.

Once the meeting had concluded with the rest of the team since they knew that the response would come in a few days time and we could compile the severity of it, or organise it by distance.
We then sent the initial letters to Aizuwakamatsu, Yonezawa, Shibata and Tochigi Prefecture. In the letters, we state that we would like to render our assistance to the settlements as well as smaller villages in case of any trouble from Youkai manifestation.
