Samurai Mats - 50
Eraito received the letter. What's he supposed to do? Second
the officer had died a few months ago in a brothel in Lawang.
Dead by a samurai unknown. He will come to Bukittinggi with
first dig the graves of the two officers and bring the bodies
rotten already? Finally he opened the second parcel sent by the Colonel
Fujiyama. The package is yellow. Inside was a two-length thing
jengkal wrapped in a Japanese flag with a picture of the sun. He opened the package
that flag. The two-pointed thing was exactly as he had expected, though,
short samurai! He nodded at the three Captains who were carrying the letter
that command. The three Captains saluted him.
Eraito wrapped the flag around his head. Then salute in the direction
sunrise. The Tenno Haika Emperor. Then he sat on his knees
the floor. The three Captains sent from Bukit Tinggi also knelt down.
”Tai-I Sambu .. ” Eraito calling. The so-called, an***-I (Captain)
go in salute. He was surprised to see the four people kneeling. When
his eyes were on the flag wrapped around his commander's head, then on
samurai in front of Eraito, the Captain was immediately aware of what was about to happen. Him
nodding to salute. He sat in front of his commander.
”After my task is completed, submit the entire death case file to
they ..” Eraito says.
”Hai ..!!” the officer nodded deeply.
Then Eraito took the samurai. Open it. His mouth is kamit.
Then he threw the samurai out of his stomach. With strong pressure,
the samurai who is so sharp, he iriskan left. Blood gritting. Him
still kneeling with breath. Then fall. Her head cracked
flooring. He was like a Muslim who prostrated himself. And this officer died inside
such circumstances. He has performed Seppuku, which is also called Harakiri.
Immediately after he died, his deputy captain submitted a death file report
the officers were to the three Captains of Fujiyama's emissary. File that thing
enveloped. No one has the right to read it, except Colonel Fujiyama.
Even Lt Col Fugirawa himself, despite his position as Chief of Intelligence, remained
not entitled to read the report. The file was taken to Bukittinggi. Fujiyama
read it carefully. The report, among others, contains:
”There was a Minang boy who wandered around with a deathly samurai in his hand.
This young man is out of nowhere to learn samurai, his samurai science though
ngawur, but very high. He is suspected of seeking someone for revenge
as Cho (Platoon Commander) Kempetai di Payakumbuh. Saburo is famous
too ferocious in Payakumbuh. That is why he was proposed to move
from this small town. Some are demanding revenge for his cruelty. More expected
twenty of the Japanese soldiers, officers and soldiers, had died
the samurai Minang's son. But this secret is held firm, the investigation remains
executed. Trying to find and bend young people who reportedly named the
Bungsu (the smallest child) from Situjuh Hamlet Laweh field is still cultivated
rigorously. But until now the young man had never met. He's vanished
like an eagle flying to the sky. Hope with Tenno's blessing
Haika, for the sake of her glory, the young man was soon able to be arrested.”
Thus the sound and end of the report of Major Eraito who is located as Bu
Tei Cho (Commander of Battalion) Japanese army at Payakumbuh. In that report
attached the names of the alleged dead in the hands of the Bungsu. Colonel Fujuyama
take a breath and close the report. Eraito has done his duty with
good. Close the secret tightly. But he must die, because he
the top of his own nose many of his men died. Death is not inside
skirmishes. The punishment for his commanding officer was a gunshot or Harakiri. Eraito
choose the second.
The report was put into storage the most confidential documents by the Colonel
Fujiyama. Colonel Fujiyama is well known as a strong Senior Officer
in the very conventional Japanese military tradition. To him, a soldier
it's a soldier. A soldier fighting for his country. Not for
personal self.
A soldier is only hostile to the soldiers of the country who are against the country
Jjapanese. The opponents of the Japanese army were only the country's soldiers, or spies
of soldiers who came from civilians. A soldier of the Kingdom of Tenno
Haika does not deserve to commit atrocities against civilians. The colonel is famous
once with that attitude. He is a devout Buddhist.
As Dai*** Cho, Division Commander and Commander of the Japanese Army on the Island
Sumatra, he has the right to make very principled decisions. And that's
which he did. That is by ordering Eraito, a major who failed to
Harakiri. Now he takes the second step in the affairs of the Bungsu
these. He ordered Saburo who was already the rank of Syo Sha
(Major) and served as Bu Tei Cho (Commander of Battalion) in Batu Cangkar,
to come face him at Headquarters.
