6 You were always protected... 1 (1/2)

”you sure came early....Mr. Wakanabe.” Ryu got up and went over to his side.

”Well...you know my situation Ryu, I promised I would take my daughter some where, so I came in early, to complete our business.” He looked at his little girl, all shy and cringing to her father's leg.

Ryu looked at Shin and signaled him to take care of her.

”Hey...My name is Shin and you are..” Shin slowly walked up to the little girl slowly.

”M..My name is Yui..” The little girl tightened her grasp around her father's leg.

”Nice to meet you Yui....you are going to get bored listening to your father's business, you know that right.....”

Shin gave her a her a gentle look, trying to calm her....

This indeed calmed the frantic little girl. Nevertheless, this shocked the hell out of the father-son pair. They have never seen Shin having any other look but a blank dead fish look.

The little girl released her grip and slowly opened her mouth ”I am going to get bored....but I don't want to leave papa..”

”I got an idea, let your dad continue his work while we sit in that corner....and I will tell you a great story, that way you can still see your dad isn't going anywhere and not get bored too.”

Yui thought for a while and gave a small cute nod.

”What story are you going to tell me big brother?” They made their way towards the corner of the shop.

”Do you know, how the great spirits and the guardians came to be, how the world first met them...How we were always protected without our knowledge...” Shin looked at the little Yui, radiating her sudden interest.

”My mommy only said they protected us and they were sent from heaven...I don't know anything else big brother.”

”Then, do you want to hear the story of 'The oldest Legends that forged the world's balance...' ” Shin elevated his voice in an attempt to pique the little one's interest.

It resulted in Yui giving him a big nod and looking at him, with eyes full of wonder.

”It all began Two Hundred and Ten years ago in the Spirit World....”

”A war that had been going on for centuries in the spirit world led itself to our world.”

”The spirits who have been protecting us from darkness could no longer suppress them.”
