Umi's job was to make sure that Honoka would remain safe from anything that could hurt her. She had to be on the lookout for anything that could harm her. Umi wasn't sure is she was right person to be a bodyguard but if it's an order from the king and queen then she had to follow those orders without any questions. She would watch the princess as she performed her lessons. Umi had to admit that the princess was very cute but she wouldn't admit that out loud.

For the short amount of time that she has known Honoka she already knew that she tends to be lazy but when her mind focuses on something she will try to get it done. She also knows that the princess really loves bread. She's afraid that the princess would gain weight. Umi had to refrain from talking to her about these issues because she was afraid that it would sound like she was scolding the princess and she didn't want that so she just stayed quiet. Honoka had introduced her to her younger sister, Yukiho. Umi bowed to the younger princess.

The princess was done with her lessons for the day and she was out strolling in the garden to look at the flowers. Umi was watching as Honoka was admiring all the flowers in the garden. She was happy to see that she having a good time. That peaceful time was short lived when there was a big roar that was loud enough to cause an earthquake. The princess was caught off guard and tripped. Umi rushed and caught her before she could fall. Honoka thanked her and looked around to see what had made such a loud noise. Umi looked up and saw that there was a giant dragon flying towards the castle.

"Princess over there!" Umi said

Honoka looked in the direction that Umi was pointing at and saw that it was a dragon.

"Is that a dragon?" Honoka asked

"Yes and it's coming this way! We need to get you inside where it's safe" Umi said

Honoka didn't argue and the two girls made their way towards the castle. The dragon breathed fire and Umi tackled Honoka out of the way to prevent her from being burned. The guards at the castle began their counter attack and tried to shoot it down. The dragon was able to dodge the oncoming assault and continued to get closer to the castle. The dragon flapped its wings really hard to create a strong gust of wind. It was mostly aimed at Umi and Honoka. The duo were knocked off their feet.

Umi saw that the dragon was headed towards Honoka and she rushed to get to her first before the dragon did. The dragon released another fire breath which caused a shockwave that pushed Umi back. Honoka looked back at the dragon and saw that it was ready to grab. The dragon grabbed Honoka and started to fly away from the castle. Umi got up and heard the Honoka's scream. Umi looked up and saw that the dragon her in its grasp. Umi gasped and tried to follow it but she knew that there was no way she would be able to catch her on foot.

She went over to where the other guards were and saw that they were trying to shoot the dragon down and save the princess from being kidnapped. Umi saw a catapult and got an idea. She entered the catapult and pulled the rope. She was launched in the air and was headed towards the dragon. She managed to land on the dragon's back. The dragon noticed that Umi was on its back and tried to shake her off but Umi held on tight. Honoka saw that Umi was there and called out to her.

"UMI! PLEASE HELP ME!" Honoka shouted

"DON'T WORRY HONOKA! I'LL SAVE YOU! JUST HANG IN THERE!" Umi shouted

Umi managed to crawl all the way to the dragon's neck. She took out her sword and stabbed the dragon's neck. The dragon screamed in pain and started to lose altitude. Umi noticed that the dragon's grip on Honoka was starting to loosen. She went over to the arm and tried to pry it open. Umi told Honoka to grab and hold on to the dragon's claw as tight as possible. Honoka did just that and continued to pry the claw open. When Umi was able to open its claw she told the princess to take her hand. When Honoka did that, Umi pulled her close to her and managed to guide her back on the dragon's back.

"Thanks Umi! You really saved me!" Honoka said

"I'm just doing my job princess" Umi said

Honoka giggled at the response that the young bodyguard gave her. The dragon started to lose altitude even more and Umi saw that the dragon was about to crash and they were going to crash too if they didn't get off the dragon's back. Umi waited until they were close enough to the ground. She was waiting for the opportunity to jump with the princess and hopefully they can get out of this with only minor injuries. Umi saw that the ground was getting closer so she lifted up Honoka and was holding her bridal style. Umi's chance finally came and she jumped off the dragon. Both girls landed on the ground and tumbled until they came to a complete stop.

The dragon crashed and Umi was able to get the princess out and herself out of danger just in time. Umi got up and saw that princess was on the ground. She rushed over to her side and shook her.

"Honoka wake up!" Umi said

The princess opened her eyes and saw that Umi was standing above her and saw that she had a look of relief on her face.

"Thank goodness you're okay" Umi said

"It's all thanks to you Umi" Honoka said

"Like I said before, just doing my job" Umi said

Both them giggled. They both heard the sound of marching. They turned around and saw that they were soldiers from the kingdom. There was a soldier at the very front and Umi noticed her appearance. She had blonde hair that was in a high ponytail and she also had blue eyes. They stopped in front of them and the blonde girl stopped in front of them and looked at Honoka with a concerned look on her face.

"Are you alright princess?" The blonde asked

Honoka tried to stand up and but she fell back down immediately. The blonde examined her and that the princess had sprained her ankle.

"Excuse me?" Honoka asked

"Yes?" The blonde asked

"Who are you?" Honoka asked

"I'm Eli Ayase, the captain of the guard" Eli said

Eli then ordered some of her men to take Honoka back to the castle where her ankle could be treated. When Honoka's ankle was examined it turned out that her ankle was not sprained it was broken. Honoka wouldn't be able to perform some of her lessons because of the injury. Umi was in the castle hallway when she heard some footsteps. She looked up and saw that it was Eli. Eli approached her and Umi saw that she was not very happy right now.

"Are you the princess' bodyguard?" Eli asked

Umi was starting to get nervous because the captain of the guard was standing right in front of her and she had the feeling that she was to be scolded.

"Yes, I'm her bodyguard. My name is Umi" Umi said

"Well Umi, I have to say that I'm very disappointed in you. Not only could you not prevent the princess from being captured but you also caused her to get injured. I'll applaud you for saving her but she didn't get out of this unscathed. A true bodyguard would never have let such a thing happen" Eli said

With those words Eli left and Umi was in shock. She knew that Eli was right and she was starting to think that the position of a bodyguard wasn't meant for her. For now she'll be Honoka's bodyguard until someone more experienced will take over for her.
