It was a beautiful morning, Shumi and Soujiro woke up and started a new day. "Ohayou Soujiro-kun" Shumi said while she was cooking breakfast . "Ohayou Shumi" Soujiro replied and gave Shumi a smile.
"Here Soujiro have a bite to start the day." Shumi said as she gave Soujiro some soup. "Arigato Shumi " Soujiro said. They then took their breakfast and ate together.
" This is delicious Shumi, you cook better than me, I think you should cook often." Soujiro said, " Arigato Soujiro, I'm glad you like my meals." Shumi said
After eating breakfast, Soujiro and Shumi started in their journey. While they were walking together, something came in Soujiro's thoughts.
Soujiro was determined to help Shumi in her problem. He stopped and thought for an effective solution.
" Aha!" Soujiro shouted as a brilliant idea came in his mind. " What is it Soujiro-kun? " Shumi asked him worrying. " Shumi, I found out a plan that will help you in your problem! " Soujiro said.
" Really! Then what is it? " Shumi asked. " If someone portrays as your husband-to-be, the man who is deeply in-love with you (the man that wanted to marry Shumi), might cancel the engagement. " Soujiro said eagerly.
"It's a brilliant plan………but who will act as my husband? " Shumi asked.
Soujiro stopped and thought again and again to solve another problem, " Who? Who could be perfect enough to portray as the husband Shumi's husband? " Soujiro asked himself. Until… " AHA!" Soujiro thought of a brilliant plan (again) to find the perfect man who could portray as Shumi's husband.
Soujiro and Shumi went to the nearest town to look for the perfect man who could act as Shumi's husband.
Soujiro borrowed a table and rented a beautiful pink kimono for Shumi. Shumi wore it and Soujiro asked her to pose in front of the people while sitting on top of the table.
The crowed grew as they saw how beautiful Shumi was. Soujiro started calling young men that were qualified and who have the perfect looks and attitude that he needed to convince Shumi's admirer not to continue their engagement.
A man went near them, and he was a kendo student (about 16 yrs.old). He stared at Shumi and kneeled in front of her and said " I will protect you my princess for I am your brave samurai, I will fight for our love."
Soujiro observed him, he smiled and said, " Too young and childish (childish to ask Shumi to play Samurai and Princess role playing game)… NEXT…"
Another man came and he was an assassin. He had a very cool outfit and sword, he's as tall as Aoshi and quite charming. He then stared at Shumi and saw how beautiful she was and said, " I will love you and I will kill every man who will get in our way, I will kill a thousand men and I will offer them all to you and we will both drink their blood." he said.
" Too… obsessed in killing people… NEXT…" Soujiro said.
While waiting for the next to try…
"Are you alright Shumi, were you frightened or terrified of what that man told you?" Soujiro asked. " Ie…Soujiro-kun. I'm not going to be afraid as long as I'm with you…" Shumi said.
Soujiro blushed when Shumi told him those nice words. He smiled at Shumi and said something in his mind… " I'm also happy being with you Shumi…"
The third to try the test came, he was a very polite and very handsome gentleman, he stared at Shumi and admired her beauty and said " Young lady, your are as beautiful as the cherry blossoms in autumn, your eyes glitter like the stars above the heavens, your lips are as red as roses, your hair is as black as the night and your beautiful smiles comfort my heart and my soul. The first time I saw you I already fell for you. Let me love you. Let me take care of you, I will do anything for you… "
Shumi was stunned of what the man said.
" He's perfect, I think he's the one that can help us " Soujiro said in his mind.
"Ok, you passed." Soujiro said.
" Arigato, I will do my best to love Shumi, I will love her forever." The man said.
He took Shumi's hand and brought her to his carriage.
When they were about to leave… "MATE! Where are you going? " Soujiro asked the man.
"Well since Shumi is my wife now I will take her home with me and we will love each other." The man answered. Soujiro drew his sword and smiled and said, " You don't understand do you? The deal is that you should only act as Shumi's husband not for real. Now give her back…"
The man didn't want to fight, but he wanted to fight for his love for Shumi.
"Ok I challenge you!" he said. Soujiro smiled and answered, " I accept".
"If I win then Shumi will come with me & if I loose you will never see me again and you will owe Shumi." He said.
Shumi didn't want them to fight so she stood in front of them to stop them. "Please, don't fight… I don't want you to fight just because of me… Please don't do it." She said.
The man stopped and looked at Shumi, he then realizes that he was forcing Shumi to love him, but he did not wan to hurt Shumi's feelings.
" I understand, gomen, gomen Shumi for forcing you to go with me." He said and gave Shumi a sweet smile. " I had fun today, maybe we could fight next time Soujiro-san. I have to go now." When the man was about to leave he kissed Shumi's hand and said " I love you Shumi and if you're ready to have me as you husband you could send me a letter and I will be there for you. Ja!" and he left.
" What should we do know Soujiro-kun?" Shumi asked. " Gomen, gomen nasai, but my plan is a big failure. " Soujiro said.
Shumi wanted Soujiro too cheer up, so she thought for a plan to make Soujiro happy.
"Aha!" Shumi souted with joy. " Huh? " Soujiro exclaimed.
" What if you would be the one who will act as my husband? " Shumi asked Soujiro.
Soujiro was shocked and he blushed. " DEMO… demo…"
" NO buts" Shumi said. " Since there are no more men left who are qualified, I think it's better if you will be my husband… You yourself are qualified…" she said.
