Jerk. Jerk.
Dungeon strategy for training.
After leaving Choten, Isshin walked blindly through the long mountain range alone.
“Krrr… … .”
“Kkkkkkkk! “Krrr!”
A wild dog that was bigger than the bear that came after smelling it.
Faaah!
Wild dogs attack Isshin. Isshin lifted his hand from his sheath.
“Crunch!”
Sigh!
Isshin’s arm was bitten by a wild dog’s teeth. But it wasn’t real.
Whoa!
Isshin’s body disintegrates into an afterimage. The giant wild dogs were drooling and looking around.
Isshin’s body is finally visible.
Wow!
The wild dogs were split in half and blood splattered everywhere. Isshin looked at the fallen wild dogs with a cold gaze and brushed the blood off his knife.
“… … Tsk.”
Isshin clicked his tongue and sat down on a nearby rock. Strange feeling. Isshin couldn’t concentrate on training today.
‘… … Don’t do it. This is all because of that stupid woman… … .’
If you think about it, it was during middle school.
It was like that from the moment I first saw Sumire. He is quiet and passive, and even when people around him take advantage of him, he smiles like an idiot. Isshin’s assessment of Sumire was simply that she was an ‘annoying woman.’
Is that why?
When I was accidentally chosen as a partner for an exam, I was so angry. That’s why Isshin in middle school treated Sumire even colder.
[…] … Why someone like you?]
[As expected, it was bad. … … I’m stupid like you. I hate stuffy women.]
However, it was Isshin who made a mistake on the test. An arrow was fired from the side after stepping on a crude trap. Fortunately, the arrow grazed Isshin’s forearm.
Drip.
Blood flowing from the forearm.
Even though he was in middle school, Isshin lived his whole life to become a strong hunter. So he wasn’t so immature as to be surprised at the sight of blood.
Rather, it was Sumire who made a fuss about her wounds.
[Key, Mr. Kirishima! Blood, blood!]
[…] … This much hurt. doesn’t care.]
[Well, that’s not possible!]
Sumire’s angry appearance for the first time.
Sumire quietly endured even when Isshin insulted her. But the first time he got angry was because of his own injury. Isshin was dumbfounded and ended up laughing.
[good. So what are you going to do? Are you going to give up because of this level of injury?]
[no! Chi, it will cure! I also brought an emergency kit!]
Sumire sat there and gave Isshin first aid. He wiped away the flowing blood and thoroughly disinfected it with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol.
In addition, Sumire applies ointment-covered gauze to the wound and carefully wraps it with an elastic bandage to stop the bleeding.
So let’s end all measures like that.
Sumire’s serious expression relaxed and she smiled like usual.
[It’s done!]
Isshin thought Sumire was such an idiot. He even insulted me and called me stupid, so why on earth does he worry about me and even get angry in order to get treatment?
Isshin could never understand Sumire. He didn’t want to understand.
[…] … you. What a strange guy.]
The test ends like that.
Isshin and Sumire, who were in different classes, didn’t have that much contact. But Isshin was strangely concerned about Sumire.
Why are you smiling brightly when you see the violets blooming at school?
Why do I look out the window with a blank face for a long time on rainy days?
Why do things I don’t want to do get passed on to those around me and I end up being used like a fool?
Isshin got angry when he saw Sumire. I felt frustrated and stupid. He doesn’t know why, but that’s why Isshin acted on a whim.
[Don’t do it. Come into my party.]
[…] … I will also lend you my hair when you take the test.]
[No one at school will be so quick to touch you. Because it is a challenge to me.]
At Isshin’s suggestion, Sumire nodded with a puzzled expression. Sumire thought that Isshin hated her.
He didn’t even know why Isshin had invited him. The reason I only agreed was because there was no party to attend. Sumire gradually became stronger with Isshin’s help.
‘… … Don’t do it. Without saying a word to me. Run away to Korea?’
Isshin gritted his teeth. As I advanced to Choten, I gained the best party members named Seiji and Sakura. Isshin was still angry.
Isshin naturally thought that the reason was because Sumire and others had betrayed him.
As soon as my thoughts reach that point, Shin Yu-seong’s face comes to mind.
‘… … Korea’s new Yusung.’
Coincidentally, Korea was selected as the first opponent in the national competition against the Japanese team in the bracket. Isshin frowned and sheathed his sword.

Kunigami County on Okinawa Island.
Sumire, who arrived in front of her house, glanced at Shinyuseong.
“Well, as expected… … portal! “You arrived quickly?”
Although it is a bit old, it is an ordinary two-story house that you would see anywhere. Sumire took a deep breath before ringing her call bell.
“Joe, great!”

Sumire suddenly makes a promise and rings the bell.
Ding dong.
As soon as the bell rang, the window on the second floor opened.
“来た！(It’s coming!)”
“お姉ちゃんだ！(It’s my sister!)”
The younger siblings greet Sumire in Japanese at the window. Sumire smiled brightly, unlike her usual self, and waved her hand.
The front door begins to slowly open immediately. A woman from inside the house smiles and waves her hand. Sumire ran towards her woman with a bright smile on her face.
“mom-!”
The mysterious woman is Sumire’s mother. Suika Hanajima.
“Hehe. “Welcome.”
Suika and Sumire hold each other’s hands and make eye contact. Shin Yu-seong felt as if warmth was radiating from the two.
“Shin Yu-seong… … Right?”
Suika looked at Shin Yusung and spoke in Korean. Shin Yu-seong smiled slightly and nodded her head.
“yes. you’re right.”
“My name is Suika Hanajima. My child is indebted to me. Hehe, this kid. It’s just like my childhood~ I’m shy. Even when I call him sometimes, he only talks about Shin Yu-seong! Really~”
Sumire’s ears grew red as Suika continued to chatter.
“S-stop! That kind of story… … . we! “Go home and do it!”
Suika smiled as she looked at Sumire.
“Hehe, then Shin Yu-seong, please… … “Please take good care of my child in the future too?”
Suika laughs while covering her mouth. Sumire was embarrassed and slowly shook her head.
“Well, the party leader… … Please treat me so well that I already deserve it… … .”
Sumire said that and glanced at Shinyuseong.
“Oh my~? really?”
Suika was smiling with kind eyes, but she had an overwhelming force.
“How are you treating Sumire so well? Isn’t Mom really curious too? “Then, shall we listen to that story slowly at the table later?”
Suika greets Shin Yu-seong to prepare a meal. She went back inside the house. A storm that passed once. Sumire seemed embarrassed to introduce her family.
“a little, … … “It’s crowded, right?”
“I think that’s why it’s good.”
Shin Yu-seong’s answer was not empty words.
Until now, Shin Yu-seong had been training on Mt. Musin and kept his distance from people. Of course, even before he was five years old, he had never seen a warm family in the Shinnoh family.
The Sinnoh family’s iron rule is competition.
My parents and older sister, Shin Hayun. And all of the Shinnoh family’s relatives had the opposite atmosphere from Sumire’s family.
I always feel like I’m walking on thin ice.
The Sinnoh family did not tolerate mistakes. He wanted perfection in everything. My father, the head of the family, always said that a small elite rules the world.
At that time, Shin Yu-seong was only 4 years old.
When I think about it now, it was a place that was far from common sense.
‘On the other hand, here… … .’
Shin Yu-seong slowly enters the house.
My younger brother is now 5 years old. Sugoro tilted his head.
“お兄ちゃんはお兄ちゃんは…” … 誰？(Who is your brother?)”
My younger sister, now 9 years old, saw that. As soon as she identified Shin Yoo-seong as Sugugu, she spoke in Korean.
“fool! “This is the Korean lover my sister brought.”
I don’t know if Sugoro, who is still 5 years old, would have understood. Instead, my other younger brother, Suito, now 12 years old, stuck his head out from the second floor stairs towards the entrance.
“えっ!?お姉ちゃんボーイフレンド連れて来た?! (Eh!? My older sister brought her boyfriend!?)”
Suddenly, they are suspected of being lovers. Sumire, her face flushed, quickly waved her hands around.
“to? Oh no! Mr. Yoosung is that, that… … just… … . It’s the party leader! You came home as a party member… … .”
Sumire stutters. Suguha smiled slyly, not like a 9 year old.
“You’re cute~”
“I see. “My sister is cute~”
Suito jumps on the bandwagon and starts teasing her in Korean. Her eldest daughter, Sumire, had her eyebrows drawn in a scary way.
“You, you! If you make fun of someone older than you! “I’m getting scolded!?”
“Wow~ Sister, I’m scared!”
“I’m scared~”
Suito smirks.
Suguha giggles.
Sumire’s scare tactics didn’t work at all.
“Mr. Yoosung? Well, now then… … . “Let me introduce you to my room.”
After saying that, Sumire was brought to the room she stayed in. It’s a fairly large room, but the furniture is frugal. Even though it had been a long time since Sumire came to visit, the room was well-organized.
Wiggle.
Sumire placed her hands on her thighs and bowed before bowing.
“Well, even the strategy. Although it is a short period of time. … … Please take care of me!”
Life in Japan is short and long. This is a new experience that Shin Yu-seong has never experienced before. Shin Yu-seong answered with a smile.
“Please take care of me too. “Sumire.”
After saying hello, Shin Yu-seong and Sumire looked at each other and smiled pleasantly.
