"But I'm abstaining from the ianjo, Katsuro."
"Ah, it's Takeshi. This time, don't be so selfish. For Himawari's sake, "persuade Katsuro.
Once again Takeshi notices the interaction between Himawari and Arrabella.
"Takeshi, I also have children ... As a parent, of course we want the best for our children, right? Just going to the ianjo with a clear purpose does not vary, will not make you a man who denies principles as long as you still fortify yourself. Unlike me who when I go home, I am a husband and father who love the family but if I am in a place of duty that keeps me away from the wife, well ... I had to channel my desires with other women. If my task area is sedentary and relatively safe, I even want to redeem Arrabella for me, so that I'm the only one who enjoys it" Katsuro said, trying to open up his best friend's way of thinking.
Takeshi looked pondering as he occasionally glanced at Himawari who was still joking with Arrabella. Would my pride as a principled man just collapse if I chose that girl to be my son's nanny? Ah, Katsuro's right. During this time he was principled to distance himself from things that are immoral, including not going to the ianjo and playing with jugun ianfu there, he said, but this time he had to lower his ego little by little for the sake of the cheerful smile of the little girl, the fruit of his love with Fuyumi. Yes, it's for Himawari.
Takeshi imagines, redeeming Arrabella and taking the girl with him, whatever the views of his friends who already consider him a 'clean' man, Takeshi will only make Arrabella a nanny and friend to Himawari, except ... if the girl wants to be his wife. Takeshi smiled, Arrabella beautiful and smart girl attracted Himawari, as said Katsuro was certainly not lost if he redeemed Arrabella.
Honestly, Takeshi needs a woman who is always there for him, someone where he shares everything. Every time he saw his men, including Ryujo's aide who took his wife, his heart rippled. If Fuyumi had not been sick, Takeshi would have done the same. But now that it was over, their love had to be cut off by death and leave a deep wound. It was fortunate that Fuyumi's parents allowed Himawari to be taken by him as a treatment for Takeshi's longing.
"Hm, it's late afternoon. You please rest in the guest room while waiting for Arrabella to prepare dinner for us" Katsuro said breaking Takeshi's daydreams.
"Thank you." Takeshi chose to approach his son first.
"Himawari, here play the same papa," Takeshi said in Japanese.
"Ie papa, kono kyodai to asobitai dakedesu (no dad, I want to play with this sister only)," whined Himawari demgam fashion sulk.
"Hah ... wakatta (okay), demo jama shinaide (but don't bother him)," said Takeshi resignedly to see Himawari who stuck spoiled like a stamp on Arrabella.
Sure enough, Himawari did not disturb Arrabella who was cooking. The little girl just sat on the chair while watching Arrabella who somehow she called Sora (sky) while occasionally humming a little or saying something in Japanese that Arrabella had not yet understood.
"Himawari asked you to call him 'Hani' because it was the beloved nickname of his late mother" Agastya Yuda Indonesia, Takeshi's Japanese-speaking assistant, told Arrabella.
"Oh," said Arrabella briefly.
"Hani? Wow ... it's appropriate that your mother calls you that, because you are so sweet, as sweet as honey," Aya said as she stroked Himawari's head.
The little girl stood on the chair and spread out her hands to embrace Aya. Of course Aya immediately brought the little girl into his arms. Aya knew it was not like being able to meet a loved one, especially Himawari.
"Ehm .. from earlier we talked, but have not been acquainted. Agastya." said the young man while thrusting his right hand.
"Arabella."
"Sora!" Himawari protested when she heard Aya introduce herself.
"Ah, yes. Okay Hani, cute little girl ... Agastya, introduce me 'Sora'," Aya welcomed Agastya's hand to Himawari's applause.
"Well .. wow, Himawari is very happy to meet her beautiful sister," Katsuro said as he entered the dining room.
"Sora!" sahut Himawari appoints Arrabella.
"This beautiful sister is called Arrabella, baby," Katsuro explained.
"A'aa, her name is Sora" Himawari argued.
"Yes, yes ... as you like just a sweet child, so long as you do not cry. Poor your father," Katsuro relented.
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, get Takeshi in his room."
"Ehm, let me, sir" Agastya offered himself.
"Yes, hurry up. I'm hungry."
The four people dined voraciously, especially Himawari who usually had to be persuaded, this time not much behavior when 'Sora' bribed him.
"Arrabella, I'll take you back to the ianjo soon" said Katsuro, as they finished their meal.
"Good, sir."
"Look, Takeshi was impressed because you were able to steal Himawari's heart, so he intends to redeem you," said Katsuro who successfully made Aya's heart so jovial.
'Thank you, God. The day I look forward to comes without me having to wait a long time, Aya.
Whatever the reason, for Aya it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she gets out of the ianjo right away. Even with Himawari's reasons, Aya would devote her life to Takeshi, the hero of her life. Even if Takeshi asked to be served in a special way, Aya gladly gave her best service as an expression of gratitude, so determined Aya.
"I have not been able to part with Himawari who has just lost her mother, plus I have not frozen anyone I can trust to take care of her. So I hope you don't mind if for a while life changes places. I mean, you're with us sailing until there's a policy that determines where I can stay" Takeshi told Arrabella.
"Good, sir."
"But then I will try to find a place and a comfortable home for Himawari and you occupy, so that I will no longer take you sailing. I'll go to that house later if it's off" Takeshi said.
Along the way to the ianjo, Himawari hamya wanted to sit on his 'Sora' lap even to sleep. When they arrived, Aya slowly moved the little girl's body into the empty seat. Agastya is assigned by Takeshi to wait for Himawari to sleep in the car.
"Hello, good night" said Irene sumringah as she saw the arrival of the 3 guests.
"Irene, there's something I want to talk about" said Katsuro coldly.
Irene glanced at the man who had come with Katsuro and Aya. Irene is unfamiliar and has only met Takeshi for the first time. For a moment of scanning, Irene knew that this new man must have been in thick pockets, 'New prey for the ianjo, ' she thought.
"Let's go to my pavilion just to be more comfortable chatting," Irene asked. The three men agreed to follow Irene's steps.
"Ehm, Irene .. I returned Arrabella within 2 days of our agreement but don't worry, I won't ask for the rest of the money I've paid. Consider it a bonus, because Arrabella helped me a lot during the trip," Katsuro opened the conversation.
"Alright," said Irene who was still wondering why Katsuro had brought her friend. 'Is this friend of Mr. Katsuro's intending to use Arrabella's services?' Guess Irene in the heart.
"Talk, this is my best friend Admiral Takeshi .." said Katsuro again.
'Oh, so this is a guy named Admiral Takeshi? Japanese Navy commander who reportedly anti-ianjo and never played women.
So then? Haha ... it turns out that men everywhere are the same, how can he bear to let his dull sword remain untouched by the caress of women for a long time, while clearly his status is a widower?' irene's mind is monologuing.
Although the scope is limited, Irene always gets the latest info outside the ianjo from the guests who come. Including who and how Admiral Takeshi, although recently met, Irene knows the story of the man who reportedly not only anti-play women but also forbid his men to visit the ianjo.
The 'clean' man named Takeshi is the only leader who allows his men to take his wife sailing to keep the desire of his staff so as not to snack carelessly. But secretly, there are also some members who can not stand it, especially those who are still bachelor or whose wife is still in Japan, come to the ianjo to have fun with the jugun ianfu built.
