Chapter 1364: Servant 2 (2/2)
Haru looked at Minamoto and wondered whether she had a quirk or two, but then he realized that Minatomo seemed to be sad for some reason.
”Why do you feel sad?”
When Minamoto heard this question, she was surprised, but then she looked at a trace of worry on Haru's face which made her dumbfounded since it was her first time to see someone look at her with this expression.
”What's wrong? Have I done something wrong? We're going to fight together from now on so if you have some worries in your heart, please tell me,” Haru said sincerely since he was worried that Minamoto might go berserk if he used a quite harsh tone.
”....”
However, Haru was even more dumbfounded and felt at a loss when he saw tears in Minamoto's eyes.
”Are you alright?”
It might be his nature so he took out a handkerchief naturally and wiped the tears on her eyes gently, however, she cried even loudly which made him not sure what to do for a while.
”Minamoto-san, are you alright?”
Minamoto quickly shook her head and said, ”No, no, I am alright, but...”
”But?”
”Is it alright for you to have me as your servant?” Minamoto asked. It was the thing that had been making her worry from the beginning to the end since all of her life, she was being rejected be it her parents or her closest people.
When Minamoto asked this question, her voice was filled with worry, but there was also a trace of anticipation.
Haru was somehow quite weak to such a mature woman so he quickly answered. ”Why not?” He smiled and said, ”You're the strongest Mystery Slayer of the Heian period, having you as my Servant is something that I am more than happy about.”
The concern on Minamoto's face disappeared and it was changed by a beautiful happy smile.
Haru was a bit startled when he could see a trace of obsession on Minamoto's face and somehow he could tell that there was some strangeness on this woman, but he wasn't sure what it was since he only met this woman for a while.
”I'll call you Berserker from now on so no one is going to know your True Name, is that alright?”
”Yes, yes!”
Minamoto nodded without hesitation.
”So Berserker, please take care of me from now on,” Haru said and reached Minamoto's hand.
”Yes! I will take care of you from now on, Master!”
Minamoto was so excited that she held Haru's hand with both of her hands. The movement on her handshake was so fierce that it shook two of Mt. Fuji on her chest.
Haru quickly looked away since this woman was quite intense for him.
”I'll protect you from anything and regard you as my son. I'll eliminate your enemy and bring you to victory, Master...”
Haru didn't think too much, but then he felt a bit weird by how his servant was going to treat him.
'Son?'
Haru didn't think too much and thought that it was better to check his servant's status while also telling him about his situation so she could adjust her state to work with him to fool the Ygdmillennia family.
