Thoughts on a carrot field

The sun shined unmerciful on Tenchi. Another hot morning, another hot day in the coming.

But the sun has its blessing to, keeping the girls indoors or at the bath. Good that Washus technology shielded that from been seen by those not knowing it existed. A kind of not seeing shield. As Washu said, it much easier to convince people of seeing what they expects to see rather that get them to see reality. 

I could use such a shield myself, but the girls or the next visitor from space always seemed to know where to find me. It is as something makes me into a magnet for any kind of troubles.

Ryo-ohki pulled Tenchis left leg nervous. Tenchi stoked the soft fur of the rabbit / cat / ship. "Yes I know, the carrots will need water soon."

Ryo-ohki jumped excitedly No doubt what Ryo-ohkis priority was. Nice that some of them knew how to make priorities.

The carrots were taking a beating, but the weeds were growing as good as always. Some of my friends claim that my grandfather's martial art is the basic for my strength. They hadn't tried taking care of grandfather's fields.

No much to do about that now, and this place do keep the girls out of my hair. If I only had the guts to choose on of them before the others, much of my daily harassment would be solved. That if I did survive telling who I chose to the other girls, of cause.

Funny, in the time before the girl arrived, girls generally didn't notice me, although of cause I wasn't that interest in them either. Puberty does wonder to ones perspective.  

But to choose, hmm converting to a religion allowing polygamy is of cause a possibility, and Ayekas father is married to two, so its allowed on Jurai to. But Ryoko and Ayeka living in a marriage the troia with me doesn't really seem like the best way to ensure I a life with a little les excitement, and then it would mean I get 3 mothers in law, one who want to examine me all the time, one who would watch every move I do, and the last, who would just kill me, if I made her daughter cry. There is better way to chose to die.    

No, better scratch such ideas, stay alive, and stick with one girl, but then who should I chose?

Ryoko would be a life of travelling the universe. Probably fighting one bad guy after another and do deeds to be remembered. Something like knight travelling through the cosmic.

Shining knights saving the princess and killing the dragon is always a god story, but often the dragon was the innocent one, and the knights was in reality crooks hunting the dragons lair of gold.

And then working outside the law for the sake of law was a common fantasy of man. Where did one cross the line between upholding law and breaking it in the name of a "greater" cause for ones own profit.     

Ayeka, hmm a life of representing and ruling a kingdom spanning the stars. A semi feudal system in high tech environment.

In so many ways like Japan today, but with the emperor remaining in control.

No system based on a single man or women functioned well for long, no matter how much people dreamed about the all knowing, all merciful ruler taking care of all their problems.

The emperor system had been based on that thought, and that had brought Japan into the Second World War, and still the idea haunted peoples mind as a solution for today's problems.

Another of the many basically faults in human nature, thinking that a single man could manage the role of a god and stay sane.

Mihoshi, sweet and always messing things up. I would probably spend most of the day cleaning up after her. But behind her, the vast organisation managed by her grandfather. Always looking for a "good" man with a fast sword to uphold the law.

At least it would be on the right side of the law, since the organisation and those who financed it wrote the law. Another system of bureaucratic power running the galaxy, just waiting for the "right man" to act and take control of it, the law and by that the galaxy.

Sasami, loving, caring, kind, taking care of family and friends. Daughter, mother and wife. The dream of the perfect women in many men, of female keeping to "Kinder, Küche, Kirche"

But then Sasami also represent another aspect of the female being, Tsunami, the embodiment of power. The offer of a thousands fleets of power spanning the galaxy, now upholding Jurai, but in my hand.

The might to rule without obligation, to remake the galaxy in ones own image. The basic principle of the "fuhren" doctrine. The thought of it made Tenchi shiver,

That had been another of the ideas killing millions of innocent.
 

Every girl representing a power structure. As someone on purpose had arranged that I shall decide the future. Destiny waiting for me alone to make a choice.  

Nope - that is such crazy thoughts. Things happen if they happen. I don't have to make a choice to please destiny or myself. A choice to do nothing is also a choice, even if it means I have to suffer all the girls daily. And anyway I would probably miss the rest, if I did chose one.

Ryo-ohki looked on the boy working in the sun. *The boy seems to have gotten safely out of the loop. Good, I would hate to interfere, that is the modus operands of the threes. Poor Sasami, although a kind girl, already bounded to a tree.

Destroying Ayekas trees ability to connect in the first battle had been a safeguard. The old tree of Yoshoo had lost its major abilities in its crash hundred years ago and Thunami was bound to Sasami, no matter how much she now would prefer to get her hands on the boy instead.

The best way for Powers to live was to do nothing, or at least stick to the essential. And the universe really didn't need another Power running around now, no matter how much Destiny wanted it to happen.

Really there is no need for Tenchi anywhere but here, doing the essential, taking care of my carrots. *
