Chapter 3: Katanas... for Iris?
"Big Brother, Iris is looking for you everywhere, where have you been?" Iris asks with worrying tone, sounds like she is confused with something else.
"Just patrolled around the basement. What is it, Iris? Something I can help?" Oogami worries about Iris as well therefore he offers assistance.
"Really? Big Brother, you can help Iris? WAI! WAI! Jean Paul, do you hear that? Iris is so happy! Then, Big Brother, please come with Iris now." Surprised by Oogami offering, Iris's face turned into happy and pulls Oogami's hand and run towards the backyard garden of the theater. Oogami finds quite confused and asks himself why would Iris bring him here.
Just before he starts to question, another person who is in the garden surprises him.
Actually, it is Sakura who is practicing her sword skills in the evening. She is also surprised when Iris dragged Oogami into her practicing time.
"Oo... Oogami-san, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked Oogami surprisingly.
"I... I just follow Iris because she wants my help, then she pulls me to here already." Oogami explains for his disturbance and turns to Iris, then he finds out that Iris is holding wooden swords and offer them to Oogami and Sakura. "Iris, why do you want to offer us these?" Oogami asked Iris curiously.
"Iris wants to learn how to fight with weapons, and Iris want to use the blades, like Big Brother and Sister Sakura use your own. Please, Big Brother, please teach Iris how to use this, can you?" It looks like after the last battle, Iris have been confusing of her defeat was cause by that she don't know how to use a weapon. As a result, she ran to Oogami and Sakura for lessons.
"Iris, do you really means this? You really want to use these katana as you weapon? But you are too small for that." Sakura asks curiously, especially when she thinks that Iris is too young and not suitable to use weapons.
"Iris is not a kid anymore! Iris wants to fight like you and Big Brother, Sister Sakura, please..." Iris declared that she is adult enough and ready to decide what she wants. "But... but..." When Sakura cannot decide what to do anymore, Oogami speaks something surprised her.
"Okay, Iris, we can teach you..."
"Really? Big Brother. WAI! WAI! IRIS LOVES BIG BROTHER!" Iris shouts and throws her teddy bear in the air.
"...But first, I want you to see Sakura and I fight with these wooden swords first, so you understand more of the way of using them, deal?" Oogami continues his word and offer a condition.
"Okay, whatever you say. Hurry, hurry, Iris is so exciting!" Without think twice, Iris agrees with Oogami's condition.
"Oogami-san, are you sure about this?" After accepting the wooden blade from Oogami, Sakura are still confused by his decision. Oogami says nothing, just points the wooden sword towards Sakura and poses a ready stance. "Sakura-kun, get ready, I won't show mercy." Even without saying that, as a trained swordsman, Sakura can sense the offending aura around Oogami, she knows that he really mean business this time, as a result, she also get herself ready for fighting against her most trusted person.
