Chapter 54 - The Play Starts (1/2)

”What!? What happened Kenichi!?” came a Voice of Saeko who just entered the Living room.

”Didn't he said, he has some important work to do!?” Rukia said in frustration and embarrassment.

”Hmm.... but he didn't said anything about that earlier! oh well I will just ask him tomorrow” Saeko said as she entered the kitchen once again leaving a red face Rukia behind.

After coming back to Ryozanpaku from his meeting with Kaede and Rukia, Kenichi trained with Sakaki then Akisame.

”Kenichi it looks like that you have already gotten accustomed to the restraints so I am going to add weights on them” said Akisame.

”I am sorry Master! it looks like my ears are playing game with me, What did you said!?” Kenichi asked

”I said that I will be adding weights in your restraints, not much just 10 Kg in total” Akisame said and just as he finished Kenichi booked from there.

”You should not run away from this Kenichi! APACHAI” shouted Akisame

*Woosh* came a noise from the wind and Kenichi could be seen on Apachai's right shoulder with his right hand supporting him.

”Apachai have you forgotten the cell phone that I gave you” Kenichi said

”Apachai! didn't, that's why Apachai help Kenichi train” said Apachai

Kenichi sighed and shook his head after hearing Apachai's logic.

After Akisame came to them, Apachai dropped Kenichi on the ground.

”Master Akisame let's do it tomorrow after Miu's play, I have a feeling that I will have to fight tomorrow and I won't be able to adjust my strength with the new weights on” Kenichi said

”You don't have to make excuses like this Kenichi, this will only Benifit you in the long run” Akisame said as he started adding weights to Kenichi's restraints, 5kg on both sides.

With the previous 40kg, now his restraints weight was 50 kg and along with the 35 kg weight anklets on each of his leg, Kenichi was carrying 120 Kgs of dead weight on him.

”F*CK” cursed Kenichi as he went out of the practice room and went to meet Miu who was doing last minute practice.

”Nothing much Miu it's just Master Akisame has increased the weights of my restraints that's all” Kenichi replied

”OH, so that's why you are walking like that!” Miu said.

”Yeah, but let's forget about me for a minute. How is your practice going on? Are you nervous about going up on stage tomorrow?” Kenichi asked.

”There's that but..... to tell you the truth.... all the members of the drama club said that their families would come and watch the play.....

But me .... grandfather left for the south again 2, 3 days ago.... I was worried that it would might be like the parent Visitations day in elementary school when I was the only kid alone....” Miu said

”You have me” Kenichi said

”huh!?” Miu exclaimed

”And Saeko we will be there cheering for you tomorrow more than a dozen of family members” Kenichi said

”Oh dear! thank you so much. But you can't cheer in the middle of the play” Miu said

”WHAT!!!!??? WHY didn't you told me this before” asked Miu

”Because I didn't wanted to make you feel much pressured as they will be coming there to cheer you as a family so don't feel pressure ok” said Kenichi

”No I was just shocked that's all but I am really happy that they will be coming for the play tomorrow” Miu replied with a smile

”Good” Kenichi said and smiled as well.

On the rooftop Sakaki was lying as he heard the conversation between Miu and Kenichi and told all of it to the rest of the members of Ryozanpaku.
