Sadamune is name that bestowed upon my master. I love my master, you know? She never named herself since she just a lesser god but she go by name 'Oda'. She is quite a complex character but enough about her or I might ramble so much that I might not stop.
Master usually placed Hasebe—the mom of our 'family' to do most of housework. Sometimes I think it is impossible for Hasebe to do it but he always managed to do it. The oldest shinki in our 'family' is Tsurumaru. But he always getting himself for a trouble and earn that deserving pinches and lectures. The second oldest member here is Hasebe and he is master's favorite 'slave' or should I say, wife even though their gender reversed.
Sometimes I slipped to call him 'mom' but he didn't mind. And then, there's Micchan, who can be considered as both big sister and big brother altogether. Mitsutada or Micchan usually help Hasebe doing housework. But while Hasebe will nag me and Tsuru-nii, Micchan sometimes will go with us and we will get lectured together. It is a nice life.
Master usually get enough offering so we will not starve. She remind us that some of stray god that homeless and doesn't even have their own temple nor house. At some days, master will get visitor, like that hospital goddess who still preserve her naïve attitude—master said she is naïve because she also represent life that begin in hospital. Master is calm, sometimes, business-minded and cold but she is really, really kind in her own way.
Master usually scold three of us—Tsuru-nii, me and Micchan when we do stupidest things she ever remember. But I know that she just worried that we hurt ourselves. It was just summer day when Tsuru-nii and I walked together around our village. Master is a prosperity goddess of this village and we manage well enough because this village is kind of modern rural urban village but still untouched from those city-like craziness.
Master said she went out to grace the human her presence during summer festive so we all should stay out of trouble. And she only bring Micchan this year and leaving Hasebe in case Tsuru-nii got in another trouble. So at moment, our home just consist me, Tsuru-nii and Hasebe. I feel like every festive, she brought the best shinki to show off like those family gathering in which you show off your best child.
So basically, I stuck to spend my time with Tsuru-nii because I don't want to spend my time helping Hasebe. Tsuru-nii grinned.
'Ah, this will not good.' I thought.
"Hey, Sada-chan, wanna go out and play?" he asked.
"No, outside just too hot." I refused.
"Mou~ you are no fun!" Tsuru-nii puted.
His white hair and pale skin already drenched with sweats so why he wanted to go out? It is summer and summer is hot because the sun scorching your skin. But Tsuru-nii already pale and shinki will not get burn from sunlight.
"Say, what if we walk around for patrol?" he offered, give up on the idea to prank some poor villager.
"If it just a walk…I will get my hat first." I replied with tired smile.
"Don't worry. We will just get ice cream and come back." Tsuru-nii said as he reach his straw hat.
Sure.
The plan is just out to buy ice cream and come back safely.
But our current situation is direct emergency.
Tsuru-nii and I encountered a tainted soul.
A monster-like creature that going rampage and without our master, we only can hold it.
Tsuru-nii managed to enclose the creature into a barrier using 'song', successfully trapping it but we need our master to kill the tainted soul. Since I helped a bit, the barrier is strong enough to trap it for long time. Needless to say, we still need to stick together or we will get consumed by that creature.
"Sada-chan, can you go and tell master?" Tsuru-nii asked.
It is dangerous to leave him alone but I know Tsuru-nii well enough to trust him.
I nodded.
I run as fast as I can to Hasebe and tell him the story. Hasebe nodded and he told me that he will stay to report to master and I should go back to Tsuru-nii to help him hold the barrier and wait until Micchan and Master back.
When I come back to Tsuru-nii, he still holding the barrier but I am pretty sure he is tired. The creature sensing that we will shift and it begin to thrash around. The creature broke free and as I realized that Tsuru-nii and I may consumed, a sudden familiar voice called to me.
"Kuninaga! Taikogane!"
We revert back into our form, a brooch and a thigh belt. Our master glared at the creature.
"It is strong. We need to get more help." She concluded.
"But master, you wear Micchan and bring Hasebe." I reasoned.
Micchan is armor that looks like a suit while Hasebe is a sword, an uchigatana.
"I know. But we need one more shinki to defeat this one." She said.
"Master, we doesn't know unless we try." Hasebe chimed in.
"I am okay with master's decision. Might as well gain new sibling!" I added.
"I will respect any decision, master." Micchan said.
"I have no objection." Tsuru-nii shrugged.
"Now, let's see…" she use her spirit vision and I think she spotted one.
'A teenager…I prefer young adult or adult but...' She bit her lip.
"That one is good too." She mumbled softly.
As she dodged the attack from the creatures, she lured the creature to chase her.
"Thy name is Ookurikara, thy vessel be Hiromitsu. Come here, Hiromitsu!" she called.
The soul shine brightly and it come as a pair of glove.
"Let's go!"
In matter of seconds, she defeated the creature. When she reverted back all of her shinki, including me, Ookurikara appear as a sullen, tan tall teenager who looks like a thugs. As we walked back to her house, it was silent but when we arrived home, Mitsutada start his technique to get close with other shinki. He come closer to approach the new guy.
"Hey, hey," Micchan started.
I think this is interesting so I also joined Micchan.
"Do you want to be friend?" Micchan asked shyly.
'Micchan, you are not a teenage girl in love, right?' that's what I thought even though I smiled.
"I am Sadamune! You can call me Sada-chan!" I added.
"…tch." The newbie just ignored us.
Both me and Micchan froze because of the coldness. Even Tsurumaru who passed in hallway sneezed.
A week later, I decided to see the newbie. Kara-chan, I named him that since it's easier to call, sitting on living room, staring at some stray cat who always visit here. During a week, we managed to know that Kara-chan is a kind good boy with appearance of scary thug. But he is really a kind boy.
"Ahahhahhaahaha!" Micchan, me and Tsuru-nii now making a circle like playing kagome, kagome with Ookurikara in the middle of us.
In the middle, Ookurikara covered his face with his hands, crying. Our master passing us when she noticed.
"Oh? You all getting along so well."
"YES!" three of us chimed.
"No! We are NOT!" Ookurikara protested.
"They trapped me in this kagome kagome circle and making me cry!" he reported.
"…You three, you all grounded because all of you picking on your youngest brother." She said.
"WE ARE VERY SORRY, DAD!" Tsuru-nii, me and Micchan quickly run to her and make a dogeza position.
Lucky, she forgive us quite easy this time.
Oh? Do you expect me to be a protagonist? I am not.
