3 months have passed and for some reason Ao and Chojuro have noticed that Mei has been writing notes but they didn't ask about it. They just assumed that the notes she has been writing were for things that she had to do in between things.
One day Mei received a letter and her expression dropped then she looked up at her two bodyguards that were looking at her.
"Ao, Chojuro I want you two to be my personal butlers during the time that my parents are here."
Ao had a look of disbelief and Chojuro just stared. Ao really didn't want to then he looked at Mei.
"Lady Mizukage you can't be serious."
Mei glared at him.
"Did I stutter?"
"No my Lady."
With that Chojuro and Ao were both put into royal rich blue robes to signify that they were butlers of the Mizukage. Chojuro didn't say anything at first but when they had to be put into the robes he wasn't too happy about it.
"Um Lady Mizukage why do we have to put on the robes?"
Mei looked at them.
"I have to make sure you two are matching because my parents are very picky about everything they see and will complain about it until something is done about it."
With that the door was being knocked on and they looked at the door. Mei gulped and Chojuro went to answer the door. Standing behind the door was Ameyuri she seemed to be bored but when she got a good look at what Chojuro was wearing she raised a brow at him.
"Um Chojuro what are you wearing?"
"Lady Mizukage wanted me to wear this from now on."
"Right."
"Wait why are you here?"
"Hm? Oh a married couple asked me to lead them to the Mizukage and I see that she's in here so I'll let them know."
Mei had an idea.
"Ameyuri I want you so be my maid next to Ao and Chojuro."
Ameyuri began to laugh.
"Oh that a good one. See you later if I end up coming back."
With that she left to the seven swordsmen mansion. Chojuro hung his head then they saw the married couple that Ameyuri had mentioned. A man with a blank expression and long black hair he was Motoru Terumi. The woman next to him had the same hair color as Mei and her name was Maya Terumi.
Motoru looked at the three people before him
"Well I see that our daughter is happy about something."
Mei went to her parents getting a bear hug from her mother while Ao and Chojuro got the table ready.
When the dinner was ready Mei smiled looking at her parents then she noticed that they had two people with them one looked very attractive and the other seemed to be his friend or something like that.
"Mother, Father who are these two that came with you?"
Maya smiled closing her eyes.
"This is Soramaru he's the one who has been writing letters to you and he has our approval for you hand in marriage."
She looked at the other guy that was with them.
"This is the youngest son of the Kenshin clan that supports all of the Kages in the five nations. This is Suohame."
Soramaru smiled a cool smile.
"I'm sorry for the sudden news Lady Mizukage but I do wish to ask for your hand in marriage."
Mei blinked then smiled.
"I would need time to think about it."
As for Motoru he looked at Chojuro and Chojuro wasn't liking the stare he was getting from him. Mei saw this and wanted to know why.
"Um Father is something wrong?"
"I couldn't help but notice that this boy is your butler. Is he a ninja as well?"
"Yes sir."
"Really what rank?"
"He's just a genin but he was assigned to be my butler."
Ao blinked in surprise then glanced at Chojuro who was looking at her then Soramaru looked at Mei.
"Lady Mei, my friend Suohame is a sword master and is the best of his class and family and he was hoping to have his visit to the Seven swordsmen mansion while he's here."
"Of course I'll get you a room ready while we're talking."
Mei signaled Chojuro who came to her bowing to her to hear her giving him an order.
"Chojuro when we're done and when Kenshin-san is ready to go to the mansion take him there."
"Yes Lady Mizukage."
About an hour later Suohame was done eating and he looked at the others.
"Thank you for this meal."
Mei smiled then he stood up and turned to leave following Chojuro to the seven swordsmen mansion.
Chojuro was leading while Suohame silently followed. Suohame noticed that Chojuro seemed upset about something so he thought he should ask.
"Hey you, why the long face? Aren't you happy to be walking me somewhere?"
"Honestly no."
"Keep in mind that I'm the son of the strongest sword making land."
When they got to the mansion they went inside and Suohame saw that the place was spotless.
"Wow I'm impressed. How many maids does this place have?"
Chojuro was getting annoyed by this guy but then Ameyuri came into the room.
"I see that you're here."
Suohame smirked as he approached Ameyuri.
"Of course I love swords."
"I wasn't talking to you. Chojuro why is this guy here?"
Chojuro closed his eyes in anger.
"Lady Mizukage offered him to stay here because of his love for swords."
"Something else I want to know on way you're upset."
"That woman is embarrassing me I'm going to my room."
With that Chojuro left to his room.
Ameyuri shook her head.
"Glad I said no to that job to told me about."
"Well since he's not here why don't we have a sword lesson?"
Ameyuri looked at him and saw that he was very close.
"Don't I'm not interested."
"Come on I would go to the end of the world for you."
"Really? Would you stay there?"
With that she left to go to bed.
Chojuro was in his room and Chiharu looked at him and rubbed his back but he looked at her.
"Chiharu, I'm sorry if I do anything to you in any way."
"Why would you?"
"Lady Mizukage is such an embarrassing person. I'm not a genin I'm a member of the seven swordsmen and that's far above a special jonin level."
He looked at her and hugged her then she stroked his head again.
"Chojuro please remember that you're a great person. Others may not see it but I do."
He looked at her and saw her smiling at him then he lowered his head on her.
"Thank you, Chiharu."
