Chapter 63: Alliance at the port
- So you have come here following that Yoshimitsu's track... – said Heishiro.
He was walking along with the three women down the beach, at night.
- Aha. – confirmed Taki.
- I came across him. – retold Heishiro. – I met his captain, who was heading to India. They were going to the ruins of a temple where Soul Edge was used to create monsters.
- I don't think it is advisable to go to a place like that. – said a suspicious Taki, who knew Yoshimitsu well. – It was probably built in some lonely area to prevent people from noticing the experiments which were made there. The perfect place where you can be killed without getting any help.
- They would know how to take care of themselves. – replied Heishiro.
They walked without talking for a few seconds, until Sophitia finally asked:
- And where are you going, Mr. Mitsurugi?
- Germany. – answered the samurai.
- Germany? – said a surprised Cassandra. – That's far.
- Not much more than Greece.
- Why are you going there? – asked Taki.
- I'm looking for Siegfried Schtauffen, last Soul Edge's wielder. When I find him, I'll surely be close to Soul Edge…and maybe to Soul Calibur too.
Taki thought about it and she finally said:
- I think we should go with you.
- What? – yelled Cassandra. – Just kidding, right?
- No. I think that man will be more useful than a ruined temple.
- But... – Cassandra was really annoyed. – We've come from Greece and now…we just go back to Europe again?
- I think there's no another choice. – said a resigned Sophitia.
- Provided that Mitsurugi agrees with that, of course. – replied Taki.
- Sure. Helping hands are always welcome.
- Ok, but I hope you don't need helping feet. – joked Cassandra.
- Don't worry. – said Heishiro laughing. – Maybe one of my crewmen can carry you on his arms.
He inspected her from top to bottom.
- I really don't think they would care.
Cassandra blushed. Nobody could have told if she was flattered, offended or both.
- What about me? – Taki continued the joke. – Can someone carry me too?
- You?
Heishiro laughed.
- I think it should be you who carried one of my men. – replied Heishiro mockingly.
- Are you calling me fat?
- No, no…how could I? – said Heishiro still laughing. – You just look…strong.
- Well, I think you look stronger than me. – she replied smiling, and then she got ahead of the group.
- So do you want me to carry you? – yelled Heishiro following her.
Cassandra and Sophitia stayed behind.
- These two guys like each other, don't they? – whispered Cassandra to her sister.
Sophitia rolled her eyes and kept walking.
