231 6.25 The Mayor Brought Unsuspected News. (1/2)
”Just the person that I really wanted to meet...!” said the Mayor, red-faced after travelling with his Imperial Guards in a hurried manner as he sat at the garden table holding 2 scrolls in his hand. One that he had already opened and the other was still sealed in his hand.
”Your Excellency, did we call you over at the wrong time? We're sorry for the insolence of we were to call you then and now for dinner over at our place.”
”No worries, I also wished to come here today since I heard rumours about dragons in our town? The Mystical Dragons that our people worship for its strength and tenacity? It's a creature full of mystic and you just able to bring them here and let them be by themselves at the outskirts of town?”
”Yes, Your Excellency. Is there a matter leaving them at the outskirts of town? They won't bite or breathe fire and had been told to do so or else no supper for them...”
”Huh...?!? Did you talk to them in that manner? Do you know that Japanese dragons usually live in the sea? This is because Japan is an island, and the sea is present in most of its geography.”
”Ryu originated from China and is one of the four creatures from heavens of Japanese mythology (the other three are the phoenix, turtle and tiger). It has often been the symbol of the Emperor or of a hero.”
”And you just talked down to a Japanese Dragon just like the denotes you have an equivalent stature of an Emperor or Hero...! And this unopened scroll was presented by His Majesty for you to agree, in which the Decree here had been agreed upon.”
”Eh...? A Decree for me from His Majesty? And Your Excellency had agreed to your Decree by His Majesty? Ehhhh.....?! May I take a look at your Decree first before I opened up mine first?” I requested from the Mayor and he handed him with two hands as a sign of utmost respect. I too received it with two hands on return.
I opened up the scroll and Hiko-sama peered and was surprised that His Majesty had requested him to pack up his things and leave the castle...not in a rude and hurried way of course but in a subtle way, stating that he would be serving His Majesty directly as an aide. An aide is like the highest-ranking ass-kissing official in His Majesty court...!
”Not bad... Not bad at all... Your Excellency would serve directly under His Majesty's fingernail. Higher salary, higher post, higher authority and of course... The higher number of harems and concubine.”
”Hehehehe... I knew you would say something like that. His Majesty was so proud of your achievements and your corporation alone superseded the whole trading industry by two food. Your latest corporate account deposits surprise His Majesty that he is thinking of expanding the Northern Region and setting up residential units over the abandoned cemetery.”
”Wow...in that's the case, there's going to be an extra 5-10 thousand more residents then and businesses would be skyrocketing... So who would take over your role as Your Excellency after you leave? The successor had already been chosen by His Majesty?”
”By hearing the rumours and by finding out the truth, there's no mistake if you being the Hero that the town needs. Since I have agreed to mine, open up yours since the Shogun himself has decided once the Decree has been passed down.”
”Eh...?! I don't know what I feel right now... Its as though, a good thing would happen in a bad way, and a bad thing would happen in a good way. Menina Pootah...! To open or not to open, that's the damn question, punyeta...!”
”Grrrrrr..... Sensei, help me, please... Shall I open this or not?” I pleaded with Hiko-sama as I'm not sure whether this would bring good tidings or not. Hiko-sama reached for it and was stopped by the Mayor and said this was to be opened by Himura Kenshin and Hiko-sama is not Himura so he can't open the Decree.

”Bahala na... Come What May...” and once I said that, the offscreen crews began to crooning.
Come what may, she believes
And that faith is something,
I've never known before.
Come what may, she loves me
And that love has helped me open a door,
Making me love myself, a little more.
