CINNAMON

Sacrifice

“ help... coming.. ” Sinam looked at the eight Sanji people, he looked relieved.

the eight Sanji approached Satoru, they surrounded Satoru and prepared with swords.

one turned to Sinam, Sansiro, and others who were injured, then looked at Satoru with a small smile, “ faced a group of children, it looks like the Red Devils are not as good as they say. ” he said.

others turned to Sinam and Sansiro, “ it seems like you are from Yama Village, you should go to Sanji Village only, your wounds will be treated there. ” he said. “ you can bring our vehicle, after all Sanji is not far from this place. ” he continued.

“ thanks.. We are very lucky to meet you guys.! ” replied Matsuda quickly while bending over.

Sinam turned to Sansiro, “ did you hear Sansiro? we survived.! ” he said with a smile.

Sansiro looks in pain, “ yes, you are right. ” he said with a pushy smile.

Taps.. Taps..

Sinam helped Sansiro to ride the cart in front, where Matsuda was already sitting with an anxious face.

“ let's hurry, we have to leave this place immediately.! ” says Matsuda seriously.

“ alright.. ” Sinam quickened his pace, he headed towards where Harumi and Kaori had fainted.

Sinam sees Ryugu with Aozora who cannot get up, but Aozora is still unconscious, “ oi, Ryugu, take Aozora on the wagon, we must leave as soon as possible.! ” says Sinam seriously.

Ryugu looked at Sinam, “ why should I obey your words.? ” said it doesn't matter.

Aozora looks upset looking at Ryugu, “ is Ryugu, just listen to him.! ” said.

Ryugu turned to Aozora, “ if you ask, well. ” he said.

Taps.. Taps..

Ryugu brought Aozora, while Sinam carried Harumi and Kaori.

Ctaangs.. Cting..

on the other hand, the fight between Satoru and the eight Sanji Fighters had begun, starting with the slash and stab that flushed Satoru.

“ huh.! ” Sinam wasted a rough breath, at the moment everything is already in the cart.

Sinam, Matsuda, Sansiro, Harumi and Kaori were in the first cart that was in front, while Ryugu, Aozora, Jiromaru, Thakesi and Yoja were in the second cart that was behind.

the next second, the four horses shouted, then moved to pull the wagon, the journey began.

Matsuda looks serious, he turned his head back, “ eighth fighter Sanji it certainly can be easily defeated by the Red Devils, we have to move quickly. ” his inner then glanced at Sinam and the others, we have to move quickly, “ actually these kids are quite strong, they have been stalling for time, it seems like luck is still siding with me. ”

Ctaangs.. Traangs..

the eight Sanji Fighters attacked Satoru blindly, but Satoru was able to avoid it all easily, occasionally he also fended off with a sword.

Akaza was still sitting on the tree branch, he looked towards Satoru's fight, “ interesting. It seems like I will see the real greatness of Satoru.. ” murmured, it seems like he is enjoying the scenery.

Akaza glanced at the horse cart that was getting away, “ actually I want to stop Matsuda, but.. ” he looks worried, “ is very unfortunate if you have to miss the Red Devils fight. ” he continued while smiling wickedly.

Taps..

Satoru lands, he keeps his distance from the enemies, then turns to Akaza, “ oi, Akaza, why are you quiet? hurry up and chase Matsuda.! ” her scream with flat face.

“ what did you say? I didn't hear it.!! ” shouted Akaza pretending to be stupid, “ you better finish your fight fast, then we chase them.!! ” he re-ruled with a smile.

“ cih. ” Satoru looks a little upset.

Satoru stared flat at the eight enemies, then prepared with his sword, “ Sword Steps, Slices of Death.! ” said.

Zraash..

the next second, Satoru had already passed one of the enemies, he was so fast with a sword sticking to blood.

the enemy that Satoru passed by was surprised and glanced back, “ since when..? ” he turned towards the sword of Satoru who was sticking blood, then looked towards his body full of blood, he was slashed with a crushing, “ AAAAKKHH..!! ” the man shouted loudly.

Braakk..

after a long time writhing in pain and shouting, finally the man fell down, he died with a blood-stained body.

“ phew.. ” Satoru take a breath, “ one person down. ” said flat.

the enemy who now lived seven people looked at his dead friend, then looked at Satoru seriously, their bodies began to tremble, they seemed to be a little shaky.

“ he's fast once.. ” says one.

“ yes, we should be more vigilant.! ” other sahut.

“ then.. let's attack together..!! ” shouted one of the giving command.

Taps.. Taps..

the seven Sanji Fighters advanced simultaneously, they prepared with swords.

Satoru glances in all directions, “ I have to finish this immediately. ” his inner.

“ Sword Force, Shredder Wave.! ” after the enemies close, Satoru straightened while playing his sword quickly so that it formed a circular wave all over his body.

“ Akkhh.!! ” the screams of the Sanji Fighters followed, they bounced away affected by the Satoru style.

Braaks.. Buaaq..

the four people who were in the frontline were blown away and lying weakly, their entire bodies filled with incisions and bleeding.

now, there are only three Sanji fighters who are still standing, they look frightened with trembling bodies.

“ what just now? and why are they dead.? ” said one while looking at his partner who was killed.

one looked at Satoru with fear, “ so this is the Red Devils. Now I know the reason why those who hunt the Red Devils never come back. ” he said, he almost cried.

“ you are right, he is the best Sword Fighter, he is really great, we should run. ” said the others.

Akaza smiled looking at the battle, then turned his head to Satoru Taro “ people from the Taro Clan are indeed really great, huh.. Their swordsmanship varies greatly. It seems to be true that the Taro Clan back then was the Samurai. ” he said, “ but. the sword Satoru used does not seem to be an ordinary sword.. I could feel the uniqueness that had yet to be revealed from that sword. ”

Taps.. Taps..

the three Sanji people ran away from the battle, they moved away from Satoru quickly.

“ Sword Style, Silence Breaker Slash. ” Satoru said.

Ciings..

the next second, a very deafening sound echoed in the ears, it was the effect of Satoru's sword stance.

“ akh..! ”

“ what is this? this voice hurts so much in the ear.! ”

hearing the painful sound, the three Sanji people were unable to continue their steps, they covered their ears with their faces with pain.

Blaarr's..

from behind the three people, Satoru's attack drew closer, in the form of a sword slash coming from the red Shaka, the longer it grew.

Satoru stared intently at the enemies, “ scram.! ” said it was cold with hair falling to and fro.

“ Aaakkhh..!! ” heard the sound of screaming along with the impact of Satoru's attack that widened, rising air waves threw dust that immediately flew.

Buucca..

moments later, the bodies of the three men are seen floating in the air, then falling to earth with bodies full of slashes, blood pouring in all directions with their lives already lost, they die.

“ ends. ” said Satoru flat, then turned to a direction, the direction where Sinam and others went. “ then. stay the next one. ” he continued.

Taps..

Akaza jumped up and landed beside Satoru, he smiled loosely.

“ sorry, yes. from earlier I just watched. ” Akaza said with a smile.

“ cih. ” Satoru look upset, then change the expression to flat, “ we do not have much time, if they arrive at Sanji, our mission failed. ” he said.

“ well, if I meet Matsuda later, I kill him immediately. ” Akaza smiled.

“ let's go.! ” Satoru darted fast, Akaza caught up from behind.

Draaps.. Draaps..

the footsteps of the horse blew away the dust, the wheel of the wagon spun rapidly, while Sinam and Matsuda looked agitated, Sansiro, Harumi and Kaori were already asleep in wounds all over the body.

behind Sinam's wagon, Ryugu's wagon and the others followed, only about twenty meters away. Within the second wagon, only Ryugu and Aozora regained consciousness, Jiromaru, Thakesi and Yoja were already asleep, they're exhausted.

when the road was a little uphill, Matsuda turned his head back so that the visibility was very far, there were two people running quickly trying to catch up with them, it was Satoru and Akaza.

“ shit, they're close.! ” Matsuda looks annoyed, “ I've guessed this, but this is too soon. ” he said.

Sinam looked at Matsuda, then turned his head back, “ so, yes. they have followed. ” he said, he realized Satoru and Akaza are getting closer.

Sinam looked confused, he looked at Sansiro, Harumi and Kaori for quite a while, he smiled faintly.

“ uncle Matsuda.. ” said Sinam who made Matsuda turn his head, “ please take care of my friends. ” he continued.

“ a, what do you mean.? ” Matsuda confusion.

Sinam looked at Matsuda with a faint smile, “ they are near.There must be something holding them back, I will sacrifice myself. ” he said.

Matsuda stunned, “ but. ” he said, he looks guilty.

Sinam looked at Matsuda, “ I know you are not a fighter, you can not fight, so. ” he smiled warmly, “ stop feeling guilty. ” he continued.

Matsuda was stunned, he looked at Sinam with teary eyes, then lowered his head, “ I am so ashamed of you guys. I shouldn't have involved good kids like you guys. ” he said.

Braaks..

suddenly there was the sound of falling things.

“ uh.?! ” Matsuda raised his head, he did not see Sinam beside him, “ where.? ”

Matsuda pulled out his head to see the falling object earlier, where it was seen Sinam bent on the earth, “ he. jumped.. ” Matsuda muttered stunned.

“ please take care of my friends. ” said Sinam smiling warmly.

in the second wagon, Aozora realized Sinam was jumping, she turned her head back which turned out Satoru and Akaza was close, “ so. she intended to bear everything alone, yes. ” he said.

“ what is he doing.? ” said Ryugu flatly looked at Sinam who was getting closer.

Aozora turns Ryugu, “ Ryugu, pull Sinam..!! ” the command is firm, he looks sad.

Ryugu was surprised to stare at Aozora, “ alright. ” then took out his hand to welcome Sinam.

Draaps.. Draaps..

the next second, Ryugu and Aozora's wagon cross paths with Sinam.

Ryugu stuck out his hand to catch Sinam, “ hold on. ” he said flatly.

Sinam was seen preparing to welcome Ryugu's hand, he smiled warmly.

Ctaa..

upon meeting, Sinam's hand hit Ryugu's.

Ryugu was stunned, he looked at Sinam who had been passed by, seen Sinam speaking but not heard his voice, then smiled warmly at Ryugu.

Ryugu looked at Sinam who was getting further away, “ did he say anything? what'd he say.? ” mumbled slowly.

Sinam looked towards Ryugu who was getting further away, gave a thumbs up and then smiled warmly and convincingly.

Ryugu was stunned, his eyes were wide open, “ what did that mean.? ” said.

Aozora let out tears even though she did not hear the sound of her crying, “ stupid, she sacrificed herself for us. ” he said.

Ryugu looked at Aozora, “ sacrificed himself? for what.? ” he asked.

“ to protect us. ” Aozora looks very sad.

hearing Aozora's answer, Ryugu flinched, his eyes wide open, “ protect.
