Chapter one
"Decsend"
AN: another attempt to revive my imagination. Enjoy the story
Disclaimer: I don't own Koihime Musou. It belonged to Baseson, or anything else that is mentioned in the story.
A guy with a black hair and hazel eyes, are currently sightseeing the mountains surrounding him. He wear a brown clothes with a dak green jacket over it,blue pants, and a pair of black-red sneakers.
-Seiji POV-
Damn this is awkward, how did I end up here? To be somewhere around the wild, instead in my comfy warm bed? Last thing I remember I was bumping some kind of white-haired dude with a mirror, which unfortunately , broke. I'm kinda wondering, what did that guy said again? "you fool! Do you know what you've done?!" a guy wearing some kind of white school uniform said with rage-filled eyes.
"Uh, sorry about that let me try to replace it.... How much do you need?", he looks to be taken aback. "what? You ignorant fool! There's nothing else can replace what you did just now. Now you'll have to witness the truth, as history repeat itself once again. This will be your punishment for your ignorance and stupidity!". Suddenly the mirror shone brightly, engulfing me and my surrounding.
Oh yeah, so that what happened. Well there's no turning back now first order of business, Check my stuff. Let's see first I still got my bag, inside is my drawing book, Diary, match sticks, my family's old scroll, my smartphone, and NV googles... wait, why the hell did I bring NV googles? More importantly, how did I own it in the first place?
Wait a minute... where's my family amulet?! The amulet with the dragon carving and three orb in the middle, I am certain it was on me before. Don't tell me I lost it! I searched around the field for my amulet, but it was nowhere to be found.
... Ah nevermind, it'll get back to me eventually. Now the next question, where am I? As far as I can see this is definitely not Japan anymore,oh forget it, might as well enjoy the view.
-15 minutes later-
Dear God, no sign of civilization until now. How come a vast heap of land had no single settlement or village?. Not to mention there's no signal or internet connection, guess that my phone is useless then.
"Halt! Stop right there thou thieves!" it sounds like a girl voice. Coming from over there, better check it out. I ran to where that voice came, just over the hill. There I can see twenty three guys wearing yellow bandana on their head, armed with poor-quality armor and rusty weapons.
Their appeareance is very generic, the only thing that I can make out from that group are only three people, one tall and slender, another is short with a big head, and the last is fat and large. The rest? They are generic as generic can be. Come on people, at least make the generic character special in some way!
Next, about the other group standing across the 'supposedly' bandits. are three girls, The first girl are around 18 years old, has a black hair and bright amber eyes. Her hair is tied in a ponytail with a golden bangle and a pink ribbon. She is wearing a green sleeveless dress and black skirt, with black stockings. She's currently carrying a guan dao with a dragon ornament.
The second girl looks like 17 years old as well, with minor differences with the first girl, she has a pink hair styled in twintail with feather decorating it. She wears a similar dress with the first girl,and she is wearing a pink skirt with a white stockings. Two swords with dragon decoration on hands.
The last girl looks like a 13 years old and she has a red hair with a tiger pin on her hair,which somehow mimic her every expression. She was wearing a navy half shirt underneath yellow short-sleeved jacket with a yin-yang symbol on her left shoulder and navy shorts with brown belt that has a silver buckle with a symbol of yin-yang. She's also wearing a red scarf and navy socks and she's holding a zig-zaged spear twice her size, although she's somehow doesn't have any problem carrying it.
"put your weapons down girls, there's no point in fighting our superior number!", the tall one said. "insolent cur! Thou would not frighten us!", the Black-haired one said. "yeah! Rinrin's not scared of you baddies! Rinrin will beat you all to pulp!", this time the kid said that.
"why you! Get'em boys!", fifteen bandit rushed in not wasting another second. While the three that had a small significance standing on the sidelines along with the remaining five. Surprisingly, those girls can hold on their own against such onslaught. While the rosette may not be an amazing fighter, she can compensate it with her skill and tecnique using her twin swords.
While the other two however, are entirely different matter. The redhead are a literal wrecking machine. Her movement may be careless, but her brute strength totally cover it up. The Black-haired girl on the other hand, were versatile and deadly. Her movement are elegant, yet precise at the same time. In a mere three minutes, fifteen bandits are down.
"grrr, curses! What are you lot waiting for? Go get them already!", on cue the remaining five charged in. And in a instant, they were cut in a wide arc by the black haired girl. "anyone else wish to test the might of Guan Yu?", she said as she brandished her guan dao. My pupil went wide, did she say that she's Guan Yu? That God of war with a beautiful long beard? How did the hell HE can be a girl of all things?
"damn it! We'll let you off this time, shorty, fatso let's get out of here!", the three bandits turn tail and run away. "good grief, that was exhausting", the rosette exclaimed. "indeed aneue. There's no end of those bandits". The guan dao wielder namely Guan Yu said with a sigh. "but that's why we have to find that messenger of Heaven! Right Aisha and Touka nee-chan?", the redhead said.
"yes Rinrin, only with the messenger of heaven's aid can we quell the chaos of this land!", said the rosette with fire on her eyes. "very well then my sisters, let us continue our journey", with that the trio left... Well, that was eventful.
I trekked my way down the hill, where twenty bandit lying on the ground. It was a gruesome sight, hard to believe it was those girls that did this. But you can't blame them. They only tried to protect themselves. To be honest I almost had a small stomachache just by looking at it... Okay, I did see something like this before, but just you can't actually get used to it unless you are a pyschopath and a cold-blooded murderer, as for normal people like me? Just got to bear with it.
Alright, for now I checked what the bandits had one by one, I collected all of their gold, small valueable material, one rusty sword, and a ragged black hooded cloth. This may looks cheap, but everyone's going to need everything he can find. Especially in a situation where he doesn't even know what's going on, they don't even going to need it anyway.
Back to the task at hand, after I take what I need, I drag them to the side of the road before praying for their wellfare. This maybe confusing, but my principle states that: No matter how evil they are in life, they still deserve a respectful death. I can only hope to bury them later after I got some help. For now, let's move on and follow those girls. If I remember correctly they went this way.
-20 minutes later-
Finally, I somehow was able to caught up to them. It seems that they're looking for something, or someone. "this is where the star falls", Guan Yu said before she sighed. "but there's no sign of him or here". "don't worry Aisha, we'll find the messenger of heaven eventually, for now let's return to the town"
"I guess you're righ- who goes there?!", she shouted while looking at my general direction. Damn it, I got caught what to do? Run or show myself? Ah f*ck it better than getting catched as a thief. "it's okay, I don't mean any harm", I said as I step out from my hiding.
"Who art thou? A traveller?", she said as they visibly relaxed. "yeah, I do travel a lot so can call me that. But, would you mind if I know your name before else?", "ah, of course where are my manners. My name is Guan Yu styled Yunchang", so my suspicion is true. Though, why would a girl claimed herself as Guan Yu? That guan dao is no doubt the Green dragon crescent blade, but there's no way that's the only reason.
"Rinrin's name is Zhang Fei styled Yide! But you can call me Rinrin nanoda!", again my eyes were about to pop out from its socket. That ZHANG FEI?! A KID?! okay, I do know that in history that Zhang Fei is childish and immature but-*cough* she is definitely not a kid, A Loli no less.
"And my name is Liu Bei styled Xuande. Nice to meet you", she said with a slight bow. Damn, now the legendary king of Zhongshan Liu Bei. How in the name of all divine being up there, did the legendary heroes of three kingdom period would be a girl?! Wait... three kingdom period, don't tell me...
"Um excuse me for asking, but did any of you know where we are?", "we are in the Zhou commandery, Eastern Han". Okay that's the last nail to the coffin, I'm currently trapped in this sick and twisted world, where the heroes are girls!. Why did I get the feeling that this would be one of Oikawa's idea of eroge? Curse you Oikawa, you and your f****ng imagination just create a world.
"Uhm, sir traveller? Are you okay?", Liu Bei asked with worry on her face. "oh, it's nothing. Just a little surprised that's all", "surprised? Perhaps you've lost your way?", Guan Yu asked.
"perhaps, I never actually paid any atttention to where I go. I just follow where the wind takes me", the girls sweatddropped.
"A wanderer with the winds as his guide then? Sir?...", "ah, sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Seijirou Sangoku, but you can just call me Seiji.". "Seijirou Sangoku? Well met then Seiji-san ", the rosette said before I bowed back. "well met Liu Bei-san. "
"Do forgive me for asking, but what are you three doing around these parts?", the three turned to each other, "we were searching for the one called the messenger of heaven". Guan Yu replied. "messenger of heaven? Please do explain". "master Guan Lu have foretold prophecies about it. He said that the messenger of heaven will descend here in this mountains".
"Guan Lu? Who's that?", "you mean you Didn't know? He's the famous fortuneteller in the capital. He foretold that during the age of chaos and turmoil, the one called the messenger of heaven shall descend to the world and put and end to the chaos itself. Thus we're here", Guan Yu recited firmly.
"So, in response the three of you have been looking around this so-called 'messenger of heaven'? Aren't you folks kind of taken this prophecy to seriously?". "maybe, but our purpose is true, We've saw the omen yesterday onii-chan!". Zhang Fei countered.
"Omen?", "yes, master Guan Lu prophecy stated that the messenger of heaven shall descend when the brightest star, falls into the earth. And following it, three spirit shall roar on heavens, a Dragon, a Phoenix, and a Tiger.". Liu Bei said, okay somehow that is very convincing, but.
"So, how did you know that this messenger of heaven can quell the chaos? What if he or she fail?", the three girls were surprised, but realize this statement with a silence. "... perhaps, it is true Seiji-dono", Guan Yu spoke. "but that doesn't change the fact that I... no we have faith".
"Then if, I mean IF, the messenger of heaven never truly descended. What would you three do?",another silence filled the group with a solemn mood befall everyone. You can call this cruel, but they need to see that things won't easily go their way just like it fell from the sky. "... then we, ourselves shall quell the chaos", Liu Bei said with such confidence that it surprise me.
"I may have followed a simple prophecy, but I still have faith in it. Even when the messenger of heaven is not here, I can still fight with my own way. I wish to see the happy face of the people, I wish to see no more suffering for anyone. and That is MY dream!". Guan Yu smiled. "you mean OUR dream Aneue", Guan Yu spoke, "Yeah! Our dream, together Touka nee-chan!", Zhang Fei added.
"Yes, you are right my sisters!", Liu Bei raised her sword, alongside the other two weapons held by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectively. "we are unified!, in intent and in life!", "with our might!","we shall bring an end to this chaos!". I smiled hearing their proclamation, in the history these three figure swore their bond of brotherhood (sisterhood in this case), to end this chaos and restore the Han dynasty.
"Your dreams are admirable girls. But there's one thing that you need to know", they turned their attention towards me. "it is not wrong to have hope for a miracle. But you can't just always depend on that alone, worse if you follow it blindly. Because sometimes, the most hardest question had the most easiest answer, sometimes the line between good and bad never exist in the first place. even we would sometimes question ourselves on why would we fight".
Guan Yu cupped her chin before she spoke, "then, what is the answer for the purpose to fight, Seiji-dono?", Zhang Fei nodded in agreement "yeah, what's should Rinrin and everyone do to end this chaos nii-chan?". "*chuckle* that answer is very simple Zhang Fei-san, Guan Yu-san". This confuse the girls yet again. "the answer is simple? Then what is the answer Seiji-san?", this time Liu Bei asked. "the answer? If you were me, then just do it", my answer surprised the girls.
"... Do it?", the girls ask in confusion. "really? You girls don't get it? Okay here's the simple way of saying it. I want to eat noodle I do it, want to buy a new house? Just do it, want to go travel the world? Simple just do it. You see girls, sometimes people would just stop and standing around thinking what would be their future? But they forgot to take the first step to said future".
The girls were silent for a moment, before they smile with even more determination than before. "you're right Seiji-dono. What matters the most is our action right now". Guan Yu said. "you are very wise for such a young man Seiji-san", Liu Bei beamed with admiration, "Onii-chan is so cool!". which I give a slight sweatdrop. "well, I'm just a simple wanderer who happen to have heard wise talk and all that ".
"What does that mean, Seiji nii-chan?"," never mind, anyways what are you guys going to do now?". They were quite for a moment before looking at each other with determination. "we shall quell this chaos together!". They said simultanously.
"That's good. And about the messenger of heaven?", they seems to be thinking about it before gave a firm reply. "we believe that one day we will meet him or her. I am sure heavens won't just let us do everything on our own.", I see. They had a new resolve while still maintaining their original goal. That is... very admirable.
"So? What would you do Seiji-san?", Liu Bei asked. "me? Well I haven't decided yet. I just want to travel from anywhere to nowhere.". "Hey onii-chan why don't you come with us?", Zhang fei offered me with a wide grin.
"Well, since I got nothing else to do I'll 'stick around' with you people", The girls looking at me confused. " 'stik araund?' ", I sweatdropped. "uh sorry, I mean I'll follow you guys for a while".
"oh~ so that what it means. A foreign language?", Guan Yu asked. "yeah, you can say that". "very well Seiji-san, We will head back to the village where we stayed last night". "thanks, please take care of me", "the same Seiji-san", Liu Bei replied.
-20 minutes later-
The walk was eventful to say atleast. These girls have been telling me lots of stuff from this era, they said the era of the Han dynasty is declining slowly. Taxes too high, corruption, desease, bandits, crop failure, etc. And what's worse, is the appeareance of the recently formed Yellow Turban rebellion.
This caused chaos and turmoil across the land. Now some farmers and commoners family are forced to join the army, or as you would call it 'forced conscription'. Not to mention various lords have risen across the land to quell the rebellion but not actually do much about it.
"So where do you come from Seiji nii-chan?", Zhang Fei asked. "well, you can say that I come from somewhere in the east, but I've been travelling everywhere around foreign lands and seas. So you don't need to worry about where I came from Zhang Fei-san", I said trying to cover about my background, I don't want to get arrested by Timerangers for ruining the timeline... at least until I make sure they don't exist.
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even slightly care about telling my background. But considering that a gender-bent world of three kingdoms exist, I am concerned about the existence of Timerangers, or time-police. Besides, I would like to avoid future complication, I hate taking care of it.
"iIs this you first visit to Han then? Seiji-dono?", "Well, yes but I do heard rumors about this land. They say this place was nice and peaceful, but with the recent events I don't think it's as peaceful as the rumors said". Guan Yu tightened her grip on Guan Dao."true, forgive me for giving you a bad view of our country Seiji-dono".
"Oh no, no, no need to apologize. Every country has it good and bad times. This is just one of those bad era or dynasty". "but it's no secret that the empire is declining. Even now, some people said that the emperor held no true power over the empire anymore. Some even said that it was the eunuch instead who holds the true power over the empire".
"I see, it's that bad huh...", she nodded solemly "indeed Seiji-san, what we can only do now is to serve our empire faithfully, hoping that one day. The true inheritor have more desire to help the people than his or her predecessor", Liu Bei replied. "yes, It's the only hope, if this empire wish to see another dynasty".
"Um, Seiji-san. Do you mind if I ask you a question?". Liu Bei asked, "yes, what is it Liu Bei-san?", "Are you perhaps the messenger of heaven?". The mood quickly turned tense, as the girls eyed me seriously. "sorry but no. And even if I am, I wouldn't want to."
"What makes you say that Seiji-dono?", "As I already told you Guan Yu-san. First, I am nothing more than a simple wanderer. Two, I didn't come from heaven". The girls mood dropped a little. "I see, thank you for your sincerity Seiji-dono". "don't mention it, besides a man once said that the bitterest truth is better than the sweetest lie".
Suddenly, we spotted a huge coloumn of smoke. "what is that?", "oh no. That's the village from before!", Guan Yu said as this alert everyone. "damn it, we have to go now!", everyone started to pick up their pace as we strode the road ahead.
-5 minnutes later-
The sight was nervewrecking I almost vomit seeing such... brutality. We saw houses burnt, bodies mutilated, corpse of man, woman, even children lay lifeless on the street. There are also some corpses of people wearing yellow turban attire as well. "curses, we're too late. This must be the work of the Yellow turbans".
"This is... awful", Liu Bei's eyes are clouded with sorrow. So much carnage and destruction... even I questioned myself did humans truly capable of doing this? "Onii-chan! Onee-chan! I found some survivors!", Zhang Fei woke me up from my stupor. I didn't even noticed that she have already went to search for survivors.
"Where are they Rinrin?", Guan Yu asked. "they're holding up in the tavern". Not wasting anymore time, we went to the tavern, which along the way, we spotted several survivors of the raid. It seems, that the bandits are only aiming the more wealthy part of the village, I don't know if it is fortunate or not.
Once we enter the tavern, again we witnesses people running from here and there, tending the wounded, feeding the children, and comforting people who have lost their families. It was truly heart-wrenching just by watching them.
"Curses the yellow turbans! All they did is plunder the weak! While they proclaimed themselves as the champions or the so-called voice of the people!", one man said. "it's true! They even said that they would come back for whatever I had left! Even my wife and daughters!", another voiced his complaint.
"Perhaps, we could help you all" Guan Yu proposed, which gained the attention of everone in the room. "Really?! Are the imperial soldiers are here at last?!", a woman said. " sadly, no we're not the Imperial army", everyone slumped down. "then there's no more hope for us then", an elder said dissapointed.
"But we can truly help you all! We can help you fight off the yellow turbans!", "but you're all just a bunch of kids! What can you do where even we, adults can't even handle?", one villager said sarcasticly.
"So, are you saying that you're a weak coward?", my question surrprised everyone present. Quickly recovering the man scoffed, "what can WE, simple farmers do when even those soldiers we trust to protect us can only turn their tails and run away?".
"That wasn't my question old man what I ask is, are you a weak coward?", I repeat again. "of course no! But against such number, compared to ours we are nothing but a lamb against a pack of wolf!", he roared in response.
"Good, what so hard about saying yes and no? Now next question, what would you do to protect your family and those around you?", the man take a step back, then with a determined look said, "Of course I'd do anything!". "even if its going against those turbans and put your own life on the line?". Again my question surprised everyone.
"If its for my family, I would even face death himself!", "then what the hell are you standing around for? Go and fight those bastards then". My statement surprised everyone for the third time, while the man finally realized what I've been saying up to now.
"but,-", "still have doubts? Here let me show you", I pick up a small stick. "for example look at this stick, if its alone one can easily break it", I snap the stick to two, and continue to do so for five times. "but, when the sticks are bound together, none can break it", seems like everyone finally understand.
"yes, but no matter how many we are, we cannot stop a horde of bandits just like that!", "That's where the girls come in. They have faced a fair amount of bandits themselves", everyone turn their eyes to the three girls.
"really? Is that true?", "hey! Isn't that the black-haired bandit hunter?!", "who's that?", "rumors said that there is one girl who hunted bandits around this province", "And those girls, I just can't shake the feeling that they are something special", "maybe there's hope for us!", the villager whispered among themselves.
"Well, here's my last question. Who would like to go and fight, or even die just to protect who you hold dear?", everyone replied with a roar as Guan Yu smiled and asked enthusiatically. "then, would you join us in our fight Seiji-dono?", Guan Yu asked. "no way", everyone comically fell down.
"But, why not nii-chan?", Zhang Fei asked this time. "simple, this is not my fight", everyone stood in silence "... eh?", it took three second for everyone to comprehend that. "then why would you riled us up in the first place?!", the guy from before shouted.
"All I did is just asking you a question remember? When did I say something like, "Have no fear! I shall led you all to victory!"... wait don't tell me you thought that, I would acutally do that?", everyone sweatdropped. "but, can't you truly do nothing in our endeavor Seiji-san?", I heard Liu Bei voice before I turn to her... which I immideately regret.
Looking at me now, is the glorious two puppy eyes staring deep into my soul. Damn it! How did she do that?! That look should be deemed ILLEGAL! "Gah! No Liu Bei, Why should I? I'm just a wanderer remember?. Besides it was you girls who said you would help them, while as far as I can remember I don't".
Liu Bei only sadden her expression more, while pouting with teary eyes, UGH! critical damage to kokoro! How in the name of the divines can she do that dangerous technique?! "alright! Fine, fine! I'll help you!", everyone beamed. "but preparations only! I don't want to get myself mixed up in a fight I'm Not supposed to be fighting", well atleast everyone can accept that for now.
"By the way old man-", "stop calling me old man! I'm 42 years old for heavens sake!". "ignoring your outburst just now, when will the Yellow Turbans be back?". Another person answer my question, "I heard they planning to come back in a few days. But knowing them, It'll probably around three days".
"Good, we still have time then", I cupped my chin and think of anything that I should do to prepare an army. "what's on your mind Seiji-dono?", Guan Yu asked."... alright, here's the plan. First, we'll need more soldiers. There's no doubt that the turbans have already raided nearby villages. Spread words of this retaliation, no doubt that the others will join our cause".
"Pardon me, sir?", I immideately realized that I haven't introduced myself, "my name is Seijirou Sangoku. But just call me Seiji", "very well then Seiji-dono it is, But what if they didn't want to join us?", I put my hand on my chin, before replied "then reason with them, try to persuade them anyway you can, and if its not enough tell them the main reason why they must fight. But remember, no matter what you do, don't force them to join. The last thing I want to hear is the mourn of regret", Liu Bei then asked me "what's next Seiji-san?".
"Next, we will need armors and weapons. Take everything you can find in the barracks or garrisons. Take some of unused equipment to the blacksmith to be reforged. For the woman of the village, I want everyone of them to make leather armor pieces. The more the better, we'll need all the protection we can have", "yes! Seiji-dono!",all the woman in the tavern replied.
"Zhang Fei-san, I'll need you to take some men and monitor the activity of the yellow turbans", "um, Rinrin didn't get it. What do you mean by that Onii-chan?", I sweatdropped. "I'm sorry, what I meant is go and scout the Yellow turban force. Make sure that you'll detect their every movement". "oh! Rinrin understand, Leave it to Rinrin!".
"Lady Guan Yu, you had experience in combat and warrfare, though not much. I need you to train the them. We don't want anyone to suddenly charge alone recklessly", she bowed "very well Seiji-dono. You will not be dissapointed".
"Liu Bei, I leave the recruitments, and our forces arrangement to you", she nodded "yes Seiji-san, but what will you do?". "I'll supervise the armament production. At the very least I have small experience concerning it. Now everyone I have one last question, are you sure you all want to do this?". I heard a roar of approval in response. "then lets get to work! Time is of the essence!".
For the next three days, the village were bustling with preparation for war. Zhang Fei report that the yellow turbans are preparing to move, thus we increase our pace. Liu Bei was able to gather many people to join her cause, no doubt its her caring nature towards the people that attract them.
The news of the retaliation spread fast, not too long ago, several villagers from the surrounding land have come to join us. One of them are lady Liu Bei's old friend.
-flashback-
"Hey there Liu Bei-san, how goes the recruitment?", Liu Bei who were currently talking to the soldiers turn her attention to me "Hai, the news had spread faster than we thought, currently we've thirteen village and towns supporting our cause.". I was a bit surprised. "thirteen? That's quite a lot, how many guys that have already joined?". Liu Bei smiled as she said. "around four thousand three hundred soldiers".
"Four thousand and three hundred? That's quite an amount. More are on their way I guess?", she's staring into the eastern horizon. "yes, in fact they're already here", my eyes followed hers suit. And she's right. I can see few hundred of soldiers heading this way. "then, let us not wasting anymore time here shall we?", "hai!", she said as she smiled.
-later-
We're now standing at the front of the gate alongside Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and some freshly armed soldiers. When we can finally get a closer look on the coming forces, I could see a girl, which is quite mature-looking with a light magenta colored hair tied into a braid, and amber eyes with a hint of teal color.
She's wearing a sleeveless teal colored short-cheongsam, with a large black leather belt, She's also wear a white shortpants underneath her dress and black shoes wtih white stockings, with a black sleeveless glove on her left hand, and a gauntlet which protect her whole lower right arm.
However, despite her mature appeareance, she had a small body yet mature at the same time, I think the only term to say it, is... *cough* Oppai Loli. When her forces got closer, she descended from her horse, and immideately ran up to Liu Bei, tackling her.
"Touka-chan!", she said. "Mari-chan! It's been so long!". Liu Bei surprisingly hugged her back, before they let go each other. " friend of yours Liu Bei-san?", "ah! Yes, everyone this is my childhood friend Jian Yong". On cue the girl with the name Jian Yong took a step forward, "greetings, my name is Jian Yong stlyed Xianhe, I'm an old acquaintence of Liu Bei".
"It is nice to meet you master Jian Yong I am Seijirou Sangoku", I may look put up a neutral front, but inside I was genuinely surprised as well, for the outgoing Jian Yong to be a girl too. "I am Guan Yu styled Yunchang, sworn sister to Liu Bei", she curtly bowed, "Rinrin's name is Zhang Fei styled Yide! Sworn sister to Touka onee-chan nanoda!", she said without any sense of formality.
"Nice to meet you all. But I am sure surprised about this Touka", she said as Liu Bei turned quizzically to her, "surprised about what Mari-chan?", Jian Yong raised three fingers "To be more specific, three things. First, the news about your rise. Second, about your sworn sisters. And Third, abut your... new lover perhaps?", she said as she glance mischievously toward Liu Bei and my general direction.
"No! No! You've got it all wrong Mari-chan! Seiji-san is not my lover!", Liu Bei said frantically with her face blushing to the same coler as her hair. "hahahahahahaha! Easy there Touka-chan, I'm just joking". She said as she patted Liu Bei's shoulder. "uh... Mari-chan is meanie". "oi, oi Touka you really need to take it easy with the jokes sometime, but anyways. I am genuinely surprised about your vow of sisterhood. I mean, its a faint rumor but I never actually believe it".
"Yes, it is true that I have swore an oath alongside my sisters. We seek to end this chaos together, we believe that we may not be born on the same day,-", "but at least to die on the same day", Guan Yu interupted Liu Bei. "But until we end this chaos, we'll make sure we won't die that easily nanoda!".
"Ah, I see. Well then Touka-chan I hereby entrusted me and my warriors to you". She said as she kneeled with one foot and put her right fist to her left open palm. "eh? Mari-chan?", "I was a civil official of a village north of herebefore my former master left when he heard the coming of the yellow turbans, then I've heard news about your plan to attack and soon I gathered all the soldiers I can find. I know, that if I don't stand my ground now, my village will be consumed sooner or later. That's why, I entrusted my life to you Liu Bei Xuande".
"... Mari-chan", Touka knelt and lift Jian Yong face. "you are not my follower or my servant Mari-chan. You're my friend, and friends don't merely entrust one life to a lord. They entrust they live to each other! And now, you are one of us!". Jian Yong's eyes are filled with surprise, before she smiled widely. "you never change Touka, that's why I like you. Take care of me from now on!", she said as she hugged Liu Bei, "take care of me to Jian Yong Xianhe!".
-end flashback-
That was heartwarming, but now on to another matter. During our recruitment, there are several hunters joining in. They were originally hunters that went to the forest when the turbans attacked. Since then they've been training new recruits on how to use bows, several hunters from other villagers have also joined.
The armament crafting have been going smoothly. The womans, blacksmiths, and steel-workers have been working non-stop to make as many weapons and armors. Of course, me as a supervisor and worker at the same time, had standards. Usually I won't accept goods that had low quality, but considering the deadline and the required qouta... it's almost made me ripped my hair off. So while I tolerate some small problems and holes to a certain degree, I made sure that I won't approved something that will fall off during battle.
Next, about the training and drills. As expected of Guan Yu, she's capable of taking care of the training issues. She told theories about combat and basic tactics, while demonstrate said action. Zhang Fei is more of a girl with action, so she swung her weapons around to get her point. But her spirit lift off these people will, so I think its okay and going well.
Scouts report that the Yellow turbans, are preparing to move out. Fortunately, they seemed to be oblivious to the volunteer force of five thousand men strong that we gathered. Even if our number are smaller than they are, we have the element of surprise on our side.
"So, any ideas about this?", I glanced from left to right. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Jian Yong. "I have a plan", Guan Yu raise her hand. "then by all means Guan Yu-san", "we will divide our forces into three units. One will be under Rin- I mean Zhang Fei, and I as the vanguard. While the last one will be under Aneue".
"I will lead two thousand heavy infantry, while Zhang Fei two thousand light infantry. Aneue will lead one thousand archers and provide long-range support from the rear, Jian Yong-dono will accompany aneue in this battle".
"That is a good plan. Just remember not to recklessly charged in, also avoid enemies hail of arrows". They all nodded. "thanks for the advice Seiji-san", "your welcome Liu Bei". Then I noticed she fidget a bit, "um, Seiji-san. Are you really won't help us in this battle?", I just shook my head, "no Liu Bei, this is not my fight. I'd like to avoid conflict as much as possible. Please forgive me for being selfish".
"Ah, no don't worry Seiji-san. If you don't wish to fight then we won't force you to do it". She looked down solemnly. "alright then, I'll be waiting here for your arrival with one hundred guard". I said as I gestured the men behind me.
"Very well, see you soon Seiji-san", "see ya". Then Liu Bei and her forces march forward leaving the town. They were no longer visible once all of them went beyond the hill.
-20 minutes later-
Twenty minutes have passed, I wonder how its going over there? I've been hearing the sound of battle and warcry once in a while, but looks like there no sign of stopping. To make sure, I've already sent some scouts to the battlefields and the surrounding area. The last thing I need is a detachment force attacking the town.
"Seiji-dono! Seiji-dono!", two scouts rush into the town. Once they in front of me, they knelt and reported. "sir, the battle between Liu Bei-dono's five thousand army against seven thousand yellow turbans has been going well", the left reported.
"However, the yellow turbans have received reinforcement, their total number is ten thousand!", I nodded grimly. "to make it worse, two thousand of those turbans are archers. They've been raining our troops non-stop. I believe Liu bei-dono forces will be defeated if this continue".
"Damn it, is there no other way to help the,?", I glanced toward the one hundred troops before I call them out. "soldiers! Attention!", on cue they form a line. "listen well because I won't repeat myself. Right now, our allies are fighting the massive army of yellow turbans, and they've been hit hard with those turbans archers. If they don't get help, they won't make it in one piece, so I ask you now. Who would be willing to sacrifice themselves to save them?"
The soldiers glanced on one another, "I understand your doubts, and as promise I won't ask you to sacrifice yourselves. But for a small reminder for you all, if the main force falls here. Then it's up to us to protect what's left of this town. Rather than fighting alone, it'll better to fight with you friends and brothers on your side. Remember what you're fighting for, don't be afraid, because if you ended up die out there, you can say to you ancestors with pride that "I protected our home". So who's with me?!".
All the soldiers raise their hands with approval. "good, but even if I said about sacrificing your live, the most important order I give is stay ALIVE. You all hear me?!", all of them nodded. "no matter if the mission is successful or failed, I want all of you to stay alive. Don't let yourself die in a ridicoulous way!".
They all nodded once again, "good, now here's the plan. All one hundred of us, will infiltrate through the forest nearby and hit them from the rear. Scout, do you know the position of the turbans archers?", the scout step forward. "yes Seiji-dono. I remember all of their positions. From the plains, they are hard to reach, but through the forest it is more easier".
"Good, then this plan can be carried out, how many archer position there is?", "About five location Sir". I nodded as I shout. "alright Everyone! Let's go to war!", the soldiers responded with a warcry of their own. "prepare to march in seven minutes!", I said as I walk away.
I headed to one of the blacksmith cottage nearby. To be honest, I secretly asked one of the blacksmith to make me a weapon and armor just in case of emergencies, "yo old man", "ah Seiji-san! Nice to see you young lad". I shook the hand of an old man, yet still in his prime and full of energy. "you're here for your request I presumed?", "... yes".
"This way then", he gestured me to follow him, and inside there is a crude full body armor. It is composed of a chestplate with backplate, two piece shoulder-guards, a pair of full-gauntlet, thigh-guards, shin guards and boots, all made with a combination of iron and leather. "*whistle* nice old man, didn't know you can pull it off".
The man nodded. "yep, I was surprised when you ask me to make this. But turns out it was easier than I imagined", he said as he took a long object covered with cloth. "but this, however is a different matter. I barely finish it on time". I unraveled the cloth, and on my hands are what could be called a "Bastard sword".
"well, better than nothing I guess", "yes, but do remember that the weapon is not fully effective. I have try my best sharpen and reforge it, but it can only last for a while. Try not to break it on first swing alright?". I take a look on the blade and what the old man said is true, it's quality is different and weaker than the original sword. "thanks anyway old man. Wish me luck", he noddeand smiled. "may heavens be with you".
-7 minutes later-
Now standing before the full-geared soldiers are me in my full armor, with the sword strapped on my back. "Alright everyone, we'll strike the rear of the yellow turbans and cause disruption in their group. Don't do something stupid or reckless, lest you wanna met your great-grandfather soon. let's go!", "ohhhh!".
Soon we marched out the town, because of our small-sized unit our speed is relatively high. In only ten minutes we've reached the edge of the forest. "alright boys don't forget to stick to the plan, kill the archers, cause confusion then retreat, don't die, repeat", everyone grimly nodded as we march through the woods.
Soon enough, we spotted a group of archers observing the battlefield. There were several guards with them but nothing we couldn't handle. "alright boys, let's get wild", I pulled out my sword as I charged forward, my men followed shortly.
Our surprise atack is very effective, many turbans fell into a state of panic while only few manage to fight back. We successfully routed the entire unit while receive minor damage, no fatality so far. Hearing the commotion from their rear line, the entire turbans went into disarray.
"That should be enough, fall back boys!", I glanced back to my bloodied sword... to even think I would need to take lives once again, such a shame really. After retreating to the woods, we manouvered around the forest, and take out any archer position along the way.
-frontline, 3rd POV-
"Everyone! Hold your ground, maintain defensive formation!", currently Guan Yu is fighting on the front line alongside her sisters. She were given a task as the defense vanguard, while Zhang Fei led fast assault before retreating behind Guan Yu army. "Aisha! Clear the way!", Zhang Fei said while charging to the front. Guan Yu nodded, and order her soldiers to open a path for Zhang Fei unit.
Usually this would be considered as suicide, but with Zhang Fei spearheading the attack it was a massacre for the turbans instead. She'd swing her spear here and there, sending turbans flying to the skies and killed many of them in the process.
Liu Bei are at the rear lines with Jian Yong, both of them coordinate their attack with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei units. By reducing the numbers of the enemy with hail of arrows, made the frontline troops able to hold the enemy charge. "Mari-chan, here they come again!", Liu Bei noticed a large contingent of turbans charging to the light infantry unit.
"Not on my watch! Archers, fire!", on cue the archers unsleash a barrage of arrows, crippling the charging unit. "this should be enough for Rinrin", Liu Bei wiped a sweat on her forehead. "but this battle had gone downhill for us", Jian Yong said solemnly.
"You are right Mari-chan, ever since the Turbans reinforcement arrived with more archers on their side. We've been suffering more damage than before". Liu Bei turn her glance to the frontline. "since then, Aisha had tried her best to defend her position. Yet I fear, that it won't be enough". Jian Yong step forward, "we need to take out those archers, but how?".
Suddenly, the rear line of the yellow turbans falls into disarray. This was gone unnoticed with Liu Bei's group. "what the? What is happening back there?", Jian Yong pondered. "I don't know, but this gives us the chance to strike back".
-Seiji POV-
Holy God! Damn I'm beat! After the initial raid, me and my unit have went willy nilly behind the enemy lines eradicating the archers unit one by one. To say this was exhausting is an understatement. We've been at it non-stop, no rest, no snacks, just our guts and will that kept us moving.
I turn my glance behind, from the original hundred that followed me only seventy three remains. That is something to be called achievement, but to me its just a waste of good life. However, it is to late for regrets. 'may you all rest in peace, stand tall and proud in the afterlife', I silently pray to the good warriors who died today.
"Halt!", I shout as everyone stop. "good job everyone, today you've saved many lives of the soldiers in the frontline. I couldn't ask for more of you", they all nodded back to me. "however, this battle is not decided yet. For now, rest well and take a breather. I'm going to help the girls in the frontline, as for the rest of you. You are allowed to return home and meet your families. I sincerely thank you for all you've done until now".
I turn my back to them as I unsheathe my sword, suddenly a hand grope my shoulders. Which instinctively turning me back to them. Standing before me, is a man in his early middle age. He had no facial hair, black eyes, raven hair tied into a bun, and wore the same attire as the others. "are you saying that you're going to charge in like an idiot there?", the man said, "Well, maybe but-", "then you can't just go around and call us idiots, you idiot!", I am stunned by his words.
"You've already said that whatever we do here, is to protect our loved ones and our friends. Do you think after all this we would just simply go back and live our life like nothing has ever happened?", "as a matter of fact, yes-", "then you're wrong! It is to late to go back now. The only way to pay us back for what you've made us to do, is to let us follow your lead wherever you go! Besides, you've told us not to charged in recklessly but now you're going to do the exact opposite of what you're saying! I won't let you die because of your own warning!", my eyes widened with his proclamation. Then I rub my forehead with a sigh.
"You are all a bunch of idiots, you know that?", "compared to you it's not even close", I raise my eyebrows. "funny, somehow that doesn't sound like an insult", he just rolled his eyes. "maybe because its the truth", we all laughed after that.
"Fine then, are you guys sure would follow me even to the bowels of hell itself?", everyone just roared back in reply. "of course, from now on you are our boss, Seiji-sama!", he said as he kneeled before me with everyone following suite. "oi, oi don't call me that! Besides we're comrade in arms aren't we?", "nevertheless, you are our master, commander, and leader please accept our oath to follow you".
"*Sigh*, fine I'll be your idiotic master, commander, and leader. My name is Seijirou Sangoku, but you all can just call me Seiji. Now stand up already!", "yes Seiji-sama!". "By the way, what's your name?", " I am Zhen, former owner of a restaurant, and head chef in town, that is until the turbans burn it to ash".
"Well Zhen, from now on you are the second-in-command in our troops. For now your rank is captain, Captain Zhen", he take a step backward in surprise. "Goshuujin-sama, I am not worthy", "to hell with your worthiness! I said your the captain, and so you will be. Undestand?!", "yes sir!".
"Listen up you lot! From now on you will be known as the "Dragon Corps", remember that name well and take it to you heart! You all got that?!", everyone roared in response. "good, now let's go take out those turbans!", with that our unit marched out once more with a newfound spirit.
In ten minutes we were at the battlefield once more, the yellow turbans have already fallen into confusion following the counterattack of the Liu Bei's army. With us attacking from the rear, they even more panicked and quickly either surrendered, run away, or fight to the death
Among those who make their stand are their leader, he is a large bulky man with heavy yellow-colored armor, bald with a helmet and carried a giant battleaxe. This unnerved me, because he is the main reason that the Turbans still fighting.
He's ging down today my friend, but just when I was about to take action, He was already being confronted by the girls with their weapons drawn Liu Bei with her swords, Guan Yu with her Guan Dao, Zhang Fei with her Viper spear, and Jian Yong with her butterfly swords . "heh, what are little girls doing in a battlefield I wonder?".
"Maybe they are the soldiers "relieve" if you catch what I mean boss", the guy standing next to him replied. "wretched cur! Thou shall fall to the might of my blade!", Guan Yu roared as she brandish her Guan Dao. "fine I'll take you on bitch!", the bandit raise his axe and swung it down, while Guan Yu blocked the attack perfectly.
"What the-?!", "Thy are wrong to think that I am weak!", she broke the deadlock and swung her halberd in a wide arc diagonally. Which the bandit took a step back to avoid it. They continued trading blows for about twenty bout, before ending in another deadlock. "now!", the bandit leader shouted, at first I was confused but not anymore as the previous bandit had already aiming a crossbow to Guan Yu.
Quickly, I ran forward, cutting one turban after another that blocked my path. And just when he's about to pull the trigger, I swing my sword vertically, cutting the both the crossbow and the bandit arms all the way to his elbow.
"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!", he cried in agony, not waiting any moment I swung my sword just below his knee with a sheer strength cutting his leg clean, for the killing blow I stab my sword right through his mouth all the way to the ground turning him into a kebab... damn it,even I felt disgusted by my action.
Everyone around me stared with shock in their eyes. Stupefied by the sheer brutality, precesion and speed of my action. I could hear someone vomit somewhere, before I pull out the sword and shook off the blood from my blade.
"Who the hell are you?!", the bandit leader cried, "just a friend of those girls", I replied before making my personal stance, "bah! On second though, I dont care. You'll be dead anyway!", he charge recklessly raising his axe above his head. When he swung down, I twist my body to avoid him and deliver a diagonal downward swing to his neck.
In response he quickly raise his axe to block it, not losing a momentum I twist my body yet again and swing my blade upward, which he evade by taking a step back. Re-adjusting my stance once more, I strode forward making a stabbing motion.
Another attempt was deflected by the bandit leader, he use his axe to swat away my sword to his left followed with a vertical downward swing to my back. Fortunately I've already know (more like have experienced it) that movement. Not losing a momentum, I twist my body a hundred eighty degree while swinging my sword overhead, catching the bandit leader by surprise.
However, once again my attempt was avoided once more. For the next five minutes it was a flurry of blows between both of us. When we reach the fourtenth bout, both of us took a step back. My armor and clothes are riddled with cuts and dents, while the leader had the same injury, only with the difference of a cut on his left cheek.
"You're not bad for a kid", he commented. "I'm twenty, and thanks, you yourself are not bad as well", "hah! Such a shame that we have to end it now brat!", he made his stance. "for the last time, I'm twenty! and no it would be better if it ends now", I took my own stance.
Both of us staring each other, before both of us unleash our battle roar and charged. "Hahhhhh!", "Ooorrryyyaaaaahhh!", "*SLICE*". Both of us standing behind each other back with silence and tension grew on each other. This silence continued for three seconds, before the bandit leader dropped dead.
I too take a crouching position as I hold a small cut across my chest. The bandits around me fell into despair as they disperse, trying to escape. Five bandits however, seeing me in such state took their opportunity to jump on me, before Liu Bei, Guan Yu,Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong proceed to block them and cut them down with relative ease.
"thanks, girls", still holding my chest "are you alright Seiji-dono?", "don't worry I'm used to it", I said as I stand up. "let's go, this battle is not over yet", I gave my sword a few swing test. "this bandits won't just going to lay down and surrender themselves", "Agreed, let's go!", Liu Bei shouted as we cotinue our attack.
-15 minutes later-
In the end, the Dragon Corps lost about twenty good men. Leaving only fifty three left, "what is it Goshuujin-sama?", Zhen ask, it seems he have noticed my gaze to the soldiers. "you know Zhen, do you think this all worth it?", "your point?", "its those that died today Zhen. It's not a secret that I am at fault here".
Zhen sighed before replied, "As I was said before, you really are an idiot", I turned my head to Zhen. "eh? Why this time?". "My lord, it maybe true that you are the one that asked us to fight, but it was for a greater purpose, to protect our home and family. Don't linger on those that died milord, besides I bet they are boasting about to their ancestors right now".
I hate to admit it, but he's right. At least now they are in a better place. "gather the fallen and bring them back to the village. I want them to be properly buried, and remembered as a fellow Dragon Corps", "yes my lord", with that Zhen returned to his post.
"Seiji-san!", I can hear Liu Bei's voice called me out. "yo, Liu Bei-" I wasn't able to finish my words because she's literally gave me the hug of death. "How was your wounds?! Are you okay?!", "Liu- Bei- I'm- fine- please stop-", "ara?", "can't- breathe!", "ah gomenosai!", immidiately she let go of her hug.
"Phew, Thank God I'm still alive.", "I'm really sorry Seiji-san, I didn't mean to hurt you", she repeatedly bow her head apologeticly."ma, ma. It's alright Liu Bei. I've faced worse before", I really mean it. All thanks to my family... damn it I got the shivers. "what do you mean Seiji-san?", "no, don't mind it".
"By the way Seiji-dono, what are you doing here? Didn't you say that you don't have any wish to be a part of this battle?", Guan Yu asked. "it's going to be my battle sooner or later anyways.", "meaning?", "I mean if you guys fail, then it would be up to us to take out those Turbans. I'd rather fight them now, than later. Its bothersome if we had no reinforcement".
Guan Yu agreed with my logic. "then by all means, I gratefully thank you for your assistance Seiji-dono", "nah, Don't mention it. Say that to the guys instead". I said as I turned my gaze to the soldiers behind me. "nevertheless, we are truly grateful".
"Now comes another matter, how many casualties you've got there?", she look down sadly. "we've lost a thousand and five hundred. We took a heavy casualties today", the mood have turned sorrow. Just as Zhang Fei called out to us. "Onii-chan!", and tackle me to the ground.
"Nice to see you too Zhang Fei", "Rinrin, keep your behavior modest with Seiji-dono!". I can hear Guan Yu's lecture from the sidelines. "its alright Guan Yu-san. I don't mind", I said as I wave it off. "hey everyone!", this time its Jian Yong's voice. "yo, Jian Yong!", "Greetings Seiji-dono how's your condition?", "pretty nice, I don't suffer a heavy injury at least", she nodded.
"Alright now that this is over, we can go back to-", "pardon me, Goshuujin-sama", Zhen interupted. "what is it Zhen?", the girls suddenly give me a bewildered look. "someone wishes to see you", "who?", "I don't know, but he said he wants to meet you quickly", I massage my temple trying to remember... don't tell me... its the Timerangers?! "Uh how many are they?", Zhen just look at me confused "what are you talking about? Of course just one", phew glad it's not them. "alright, tell him I'm coming", Zhen bowed before leaving us.
"What? Why are you girls looking at me like that?", Guan Yu point her index finger to me. "Goshuujin-sama?", "oi! Don't blame me, it was their decision to call me that!", "oh~~~", the girls look at me with a (Faux) innocent eye, before Zhen returned.
"This way milord", "what the hell?! How fast can you be?!", "I'm just walking like usual, is there something wrong?", I just stared at him intently, let's hope he's not like that courier from Skyrim where he can found in almost anywhere in the map. I follow him with the girls tailing in as well. There we met someone wearing black robe and a hood that hide his face. "greetings, is there anything that you need from me?", he turned around and pull out something, "ah yes actually, I believe this belong to you", he said as he showed me my amulet.
"Hey! Its my amulet! Thanks, where did you found it?", "it doesn't matter, what matter is about yourself young messenger of heaven", this news shocked everyone and me, but I also got a question myself. "who are you? And no I'm not a messenger of heaven". He then pull down his hood, revealing an aged man.
"Ah! Guan Lu-dono!", Guan Yu shout out. So this is Guan Lu, the fortuneteller. "yes young madam. I am Guan Lu, I have foresee your coming messenger of heaven", "again, I am not a messenger of heaven. You should have know that I am not one right? Maybe you even know that I don't come from heaven".
"Really? That's strange I'm quite sure you are the one called the messenger of heaven", he said as he cupped his chin. "how come?", "you amulet, my vision showed a man with the same amulet. The amulet of the messenger of heaven", "no way, surely that's not all true right? Maybe it was just a mere dream".
"... yes maybe you're right", "eh, You mean I'm not?", "maybe even I still had my doubts. however, that is not all. And for the record, I never mistook a dream for a vision young man", his gaze turn grimly. "what do you mean Guan Lu-dono?" Liu Bei asked. "the truth is, the messenger of heaven came down to this land to bring end to the chaos is true. However, what he will left as a legacy is either an age of prosperity or destruction",this shocked everyone.
"But, why? Why would the messenger of heaven would bring destruction to an already war-torn land?", "I myself didn't know, maybe the land is irredeemable, or it is just to broken to be fixed. It was never clear for me", the mood turned solemn before I replied.
"Look, I don't know if I'm the messenger of heaven or not, but I can assure you one thing old man", he raised on eyebrow. "and that is?", "I won't partake anything about the changes of this land", this take everyone by surprise.
"I mean, sure I would oblige to help, but there's no way that I will be some kind of a hero saving the world, it is already troublesome as it is. Besides I am the one who decide my destiny, even if a thousand years old prophecy says otherwise", he just smile knowingly. "yes, you are absolutely correct young one. (Maybe my vision was not wrong after all)".
" And by the way, thanks for the amulet old man", "your welcome.", he said as he dissapeared. "what the?! He's gone!", I tried to look for him to no avail. Then I turn to everyone, "that was hectic. Now what?", I asked them as they look at each other before they nodded and kneeled.
"We've decided", I take a step back surprised. "we will follow you lord Seiji!", Jian Yong said with cleareance. "we've witnessed your prowess, and your wisdom. We would like to serve you for the rest of our lives".
"Wait a minute! What part of me or my action that is wise and strong?! How in the name of heaven and earth that you guys came to that conclusion?!", Liu Bei replied. "you really have a low self-esteem lord Seiji. But what we've seen is different than what you said. We believe that you are far different than the others. And maybe... just maybe you truly are the messenger of heaven that we've been looking for".
"But you did know that I may not be one right?!", "... yes, but nevertheless we have faith. A messenger of heaven or not, we have lie down and gave our service to you. And whatever happens we will follow you to the end. therefore please accept our service milord!", I just massage my temple, this is really going to give me a headache. "but-", "please~?", the girls are giving me the ultimate weapon of total destruction... four pairs of deadly PUPPY EYES! No, it's more like KICKED PUPPY EYES!
"Gah! damn it! Alright, alright I accept already! Now cut it out with those eyes!", the girls beamed with joy, "thank you Goshuujin-sama!", "*sigh* your welcome. Now please stand up, it disturb me", the girls stood up, "then let us re-introduce ourselves, I am Liu Bei Xuande, and my mana is Touka. Please take care of me Goshuujin-sama!".
"Mana? What is that?", "you mean you don't know? A mana is a true name given only to those that are close to the person mentioned", Guan Yu lectured. "Wait, are you sure it's okay to just give your true names like that?", "yes, I am certain that our lord is far than worthy".
"Then I as well, I am Guan Yu Yunchang, my mana is Aisha. Pleased to meet you milord", Guan Yu said before bowed slightly, "Rinrin name is Zhang Fei Yide! But you can call me Rinrin nanoda!", she said with a thumbs up.
"My name is Jian Yong Xianhe. My mana is Mari it is a pleasure Goshuujin-sama". I just sighed, for who knows how many times today. This adventure is going to be bothersome, I hope there won't be a plot twist where I become the emperor in the end... NO! NO! I TAKE BACK MY WORDS! DON'T YOU DARE MURPHY LAW! DON'T YOU DARE!
Too late my dear puppet! The wheel has been set in motion! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", that day, the messenger of heaven has descended into the era of three kingdoms.
Author's note:
welp, that was fun. Alright guys this is Warchief, I'm back I guess? Sorry for being inactive for a few months, and sorry for the story that was discontinued. But one thing I can say is that I will try to focus to one story for now, few of my stories will be deleted, or rewritten. Hopefully this time I can go on all the way. A small request, please tell me if there is something less or wrong about this story, it is to slow? or to fast? let me know in the comment section.
Anyways, you've all probably notice that I use chinese name instead of japanese name. Now here's the question: do you want me to stick with the chinese names or change it to japanese? I'm open for suggestion.
On another note, this story may involved several other games. And knowing the three kingdom, which is very diverse with hundreds of notable officers, if you guys have a character idea or design. You can PM me and tell me the specifics. But for a small notice, try to make the character different than the ones that already exist, such as appearance, personality, etc.
If you guys wondered what kind of characters that I'm talking about, are several notable characters that had a very small role inside the story even though they are quite famous, such as Liao Hua, Cheng Pu, Chen Dao, Han Dang, Xun You and Yan Gang. Well that's all for me everyone, wish me luck for the next chapter.
P.S: try to submit characters of the first Generation, I would like to avoid future complication with children such as Cao Pi, Guan Xing, etc.
P.S.S: also I cannot make any promise that the character that you've been suggesting is different. I already had some ideas regarding several OC. But as always I'm open for your suggestion, but for this inconvinience I apologize.
Thanks for reading!
