"Ayeka's good news."
It was true. Despite being as a second mate of the Jurai King and a Mother of Ayeka, Misaki was using the Tenjyu's external wall as her own walkway. She kept on doing it since she was a child and she didn't ever stop even after she became a Mother. as an Innocent and harmless act it may have looked, for Yosho it was nothing else but trouble.
The reason for that was-
'Little Yosho. Good mo~rning!!'
Every morning at the same hour, Misaki came along the wall and showed her face through the window of Yosho's bedroom and called for him in a humming voice. Yosho was already looked 12 years old and it mortified being woken up by a woman that was elder than he. Especially having his morning style watched. The reason was quite simple, the call of nature as a man was not an exception for Yosho. However - .
'Good morning, Lady Misaki. You look very cheerful today as usual,' showing a merry smile, Yosho replied to her bearing not to show out his grinning. If he didn't do so, she would be disappointed and puff out her cheeks, then stick her cold hands in his blanket and tickle him and the she would take off his blanket.
'Oh no. if she does so-.' Thinking to him self trying not to show his front part. Yosho kept on waiting till the typhoon passed away.
'A typhoon was better. It wouldn't come by every morning.'
'Hey big brother, hey Yosho!!'
'Oh!?' Called being by Ayeka, Yosho turned around and apologized to her. 'I'm sorry Ayeka. What is it?'
'Tell you what, I heard Mother and Mother Funaho talking to each other.'
'You climbed all the way up to there again?'
It was natural for him to be surprised as their room was at the top of the Tenjyu; several hundred meters higher than Yosho's room. Though there was a safety system, so she could not be injured by chance.
'What if you fall down? And also peeking is bad manners.'
'But'
Yosho let his finger at Ayeka's lips and said to her.
'It would be terrible if you got hurt. And if something happens to you, uncle Utsumi and ante Seto, Father and Mother would be angry, you know.'
' You too? Big brother?' Ayeka asked him looking up.
'Yeah, of course.'
'Ok. I won't do it any more,' blushing her cheeks, Ayeka said in a small voice.
'Good girl.'
'You know what,' wanting to say something Ayeka turned to Yosho again.
'Hm? What is it?'
'You know, I- they say that I'm going to marry you. Mother and Mother Funaho were talking about it.'
'What!?' to Ayeka's words, Yosho was surprised. He imagined that type of senior but his reaction in truth was an unexpected one, even to himself.
'Is it true?'
'Ye- Yes'
It was two weeks later when the fact of the engagement between Yosho and Ayeka was discussed at the high council of Jurai.
Yosho was 12 years old and Ayeka was only 4.
