The Memory Of Heavenly Hymn
7. The Desire of the Arrow
The long wait for years finally avenged the longing grudge by reluctantly parting even if only a few inches away. The elder resigned his left hand tightly grasped until sweating.
“You guys just arrived?” Yuka asked without turning to the eldest brother, her gaze focused on the descending steps of the temple.
Yashuhiro replied, “ak.”
“Then how could I know I was here?” Yuka once again asked.
“The person I mandated to watch over you let me know if you visited the temple often before, and after finishing training.”
Suddenly Yuka's footsteps stopped, “that's why you never visited me?” there was a disappointed tone to his question.
“If you want to ask about your misses, I also feel it,” said Yashuhiro, he glanced at Ryuji who also stopped. “If I follow that nesting longing, then it will be difficult to stop it. The advantage of satisfaction is with me, but the satisfaction that happens to you will become dependency, then lead to independence because it relies on protection.”
Yuka's heart still could not accept the treatment despite hearing her brother's words, she pulled her hand from her grasp, then walked back down the stairs quickly. Meanwhile, Yashuhiro, and Ryuji were silent looking at the back of the youngest who was getting smaller in their vision.
Smoke billows from the tea bowl on the table, the scent of matcha wafted, fused with the air, and penetrated into the sense of smell. With the left hand holding the bowl, and the right hand turning the bowl three times round, then drinking it slowly.
“What made the Head of Military Government come here? It's impossible just to visit his sister or meet her fiance, ‘kan?”
The question was immediately raised when Yashuhiro also had his sister just put down their respective tea bowls.
“Your guess is right, Great Lord Arisu,” replied Yashuhiro calmly, then turned to look towards Ryuji who was sitting not far from him. “She, the little sister we hid because she has an illness. I heard that here is the place of the Healing Tribe which has a field of rare medicinal herbs, I will pay for it for the healing of my Brother.”
The host looked at Ryuji, indeed from the beginning his attention was fixed on the white-colored young man who did not open his voice. However, he accepted after hearing the words from the future son-in-law about his condition.
“True, he looks pale. But, it's a pity that the field you're referring to no longer belongs to the Healing Tribe.”
Yashuhiro knitted his eyebrows together, Ryuji stared intently at the host in front of him as he moved furiously.
After revealing it, Great Lord Arisu got a reaction from the Kazuya brothers, Yashuhiro lowered his head as if he was being put through a trial that left him puzzled looking for a way out, while his sister closed her eyes as if she had a thought that she no longer had hope. The atmosphere in the room became so quiet, the smell of tea no longer filled the room because it was replaced with the smell of sadness that made the atmosphere become heartbreaking. And, the head of the family thought quickly to immediately lift the gloom that was in his residence.
“I will send a letter to Mr. Hiroyuki that my future daughter-in-law and sister will visit his residence. You do not worry, even though the selling price installed by him is high, if I submit a request he must think again,” persuaded Mr. Arisu.
The host's efforts turned out to be successful, Yashuhiro raised his head, his face beaming like the first time he met, and that made him want Kazuya's eldest son-in-law to be his first daughter-in-law. Because the young man who is calm according to him deserves to be juxtaposed by a strong character girl who is stubborn. And, his attention turned to the figure of the child who was reportedly hidden was slowly opening his eyelids, there was a twinkle of life there. He was grateful, and terbesit in his head who wanted the young man to be a daughter-in-law if cured of his illness. Perhaps, it was the right decision to muffle his youngest daughter who easily ignited emotions.
“Big Lord Arisu, have no thoughts of wanting my Sister for your youngest daughter, ‘kan?” tanya Yashuhiro broke the daydream of the head of the Arisu family, the old man laughed because his daughter-in-law was able to guess the contents of his mind, “I hope not, sir. Let the children decide who they love, instead of arranging an arranged marriage that binds them not to relate like a friendship with the opposite sex other than their partner,” he explained as if he wanted to say if arranged marriage for him was a binding curse until it formed a fear of breaking the bond, and everything fell apart.
“You insinuate me?” as long as the old man laughed blandly.
“Of course not, Sir. From the beginning I already liked your daughter for having a strong character.”
“Happy to hear it. In that case, let's meet her, as well as your younger sister,” invite her approved Kazuya brothers.
Arisu leads Yashuhiro and Ryuji into the archery hall, monitoring the students practicing archery. Just then, they did not have to bother to sweep the view to look, the woman in question had shot an arrow until it made a reverberation sound from her bowstring. Followed by the youngest daughter of the Great Lord Arisu who became the second shooter, then a girl with horse-braided hair, then a petite girl who was so weakly gurgled, then a little girl who was so weakly, and there was no tension at all until he took off his arrows. Lastly, the youngest Kazuya surprised people by turning his bow, but caused his arrow to shoot off the target.
“My daughter said, the girl tried to turn her bow because she was annoyed that she could not make a sound when she released the arrow,” Bright Lord Arisu without turning his attention to a jet-black unraveling woman who walked towards the end of the hall, then followed by her eldest daughter as well as another girl who became the shooter before Kazuya's ragil son.
“I think I've watched enough of their rehearsals, Sir. Thank you for being willing to guide my Sister as well as this, I am not disappointed to see the imperfections she has done because I am sure what you have given will make her aware, and correct her mistakes, he said,” Ryuji suddenly said after a long silence, Great Lord Arisu heard how deep the voice belonged to the young man who bowed to him.
What prayer has the ancestor of Kazuya said to have such a charming descendant like them? Great Lord Arisu asked inwardly as he walked out of the hall as soon as possible so that their presence would not discourage disciples from concentrating on his training.
In fact, their existence was caught by the youngest Kazuya while walking alone to the very end before the daughter of the Great Lord Arisu, and Mika came to him.
“I told you not to play it!” the woman who became his sister's fiancee.
Although faced by the daughter of the owner of the place demanding knowledge, he ignored it, instead of praising Mika who looked at him with a sad look, “position of the body, also your shot is good, what happens if you obey your wishes at that time?” ask without hesitation.
