The Silent Squid
Chapter one
- 2 years ago
"Sir, I am happy that I am your personal guard out of all of the Secret Guards. I, Nikairye Yukizune will protect you at all times. Kori, Sir, I understand that you employed me for me to protect you, but what I don't understand is why. You are more than capable to protect yourself…" Nikairye said questioningly. She had become the personal guard of Kori, the now second best player in The Ink Republic. The only thing she didn't understand was why Kori needed to be protected. Kori had put his hand on the back of his head and said, "Yuki, I know that this is something that you really want to know, but I'll tell you on a later date… I'm sorry, meet me at Golden Squid Hotel."
"D-date..? W-what do you mean-" Nikairye had remarked, but was cut off by Kori. "I didn't mean a relationship date Yuki. The only time we went on a date was when I lost a bar to you. Y-you must have wanted a date…" A slight blush arised on both Kori and Nikairye's cheeks. Nikairye had broken the silence , "Don't remind me of that day, It wasn't even real. You did it because you lost a bet." Kori looked with concern, "But I was actually willing to do it."
Nikairye had started thinking back about the date. She remembered how Kori was very happy to go somewhere with her. Nikairye had the feeling that she forced Kori to do it, but he showed no evidence of it. He really looked like he enjoyed it… I hope I didn't force him to do anything he didn't want to…
"I was unworthy of that date, Kori. The only reason why you lost was because you lost conscience on how much ink the 3K consumed. Once you ran out of ink, I had rushed in, then after that, it was game over." Nikairye wasn't all that great at anything else besides covering and being one of the best at offense.
"Your battling skills are very good, you have a strong will to go on and do great things. I know it's a bit unreasonable to have a personal guard, but it's necessary for the next few months." Kori had admired Yuki's battling at every aspect.
Author's Note: For the next couple of chapters, it'll be what happens when the start of the two years happen. And I'll try to do a weekly upload from chapter to chapter. I also have a life, so I may not meet that goal. I should have chapter 2 done by tomorrow (most likely). This is also my first upload, so I'm going to be very bad at this. Please review.
