“Lord Sekiei, Lady Hakurei, I finally found you two!” The loud voice of a young officer interrupted my thoughts. Raigen’s relative, Teiha, hurried over to us, wearing a scuffed suit of armor. After surviving multiple battles, he had matured into a fine officer despite his young age.

I handed him a shovel and said, “You came because Ruri ordered you to hurry us, right? Yeah, we know. Finish the job here, will you?”

“Yessir! Please leave everything to me! I, uh, advise you to hurry.”

It seems that Miss Ascendant’s in a bad mood. Nah, the hurry’s probably because Raigen’s coming to check out the fire lances and she doesn’t want to handle him on her own. I turned to face Hakurei and said, “Let’s get a move on. Can’t keep Gramps and our strategist waiting, after all. Oh, before we do...”

“Sekiei?”

I ignored the curious look Hakurei was giving me and took out a bamboo bottle. After wetting a cloth with the water inside, I pressed it against Hakurei’s cheek.

She squeaked in surprise and then stammered, “S-Sekiei?”

Her large sapphire eyes had always been prettier than any jewel. “Women with silver hair and blue eyes will bring misfortune to the country” was a saying so old that I’d even heard it a thousand years ago. But I’ve spent this much time with Hakurei and haven’t experienced anything close to misfortune. I cleaned off her hands as well and gave her a light push on her back.

“Your face is so pretty that it’s a shame to walk around with dirt on it. All right, let’s get going then.” In response, she made a quiet noise of dissatisfaction.

I hopped away from the half-finished bulwark; we needed to make our way to the northern plains of Keiyou where Ruri was. Just as I was wondering what Raigen thought about the new fire lances, I felt a wet cloth press against my face.

“Whoa! H-Hakurei?” She’d circled in front of me and was moving her hand with a calm look on her face. However, I could see a faint blush dusting her cheeks.

“There was something on your face so I was wiping it off. Do you have an issue with that?”

“Uh, no, I don’t.” I could see a stubborn determination in her eyes so I decided to surrender entirely to her ministrations, letting her do as she pleased. The soldiers and civilians enjoying the show stopped working, smiles on their faces. I could practically hear their thoughts: “She really treasures you, young master! ♪”

When people say that the eyes are windows to the soul, they aren’t kidding, dammit! Hakurei had moved on to wiping the dirt off my hands so I took the opportunity to yell at the spectators, “Hey, get outta here, all of you! Get back to work!”

Everyone scattered like fleeing insects, returning to their tasks. The soldiers and civilians of Keiyou had a mix of love and healthy respect for father, Hakurei, Raigen, and even Teiha. I was the only one they made fun of. Well, they might tease and spoil Ruri like a little kid.
