CHAPTER 26: K B I H E I

Ever since the lingering garlic scent incident, I seem to have received Hurst-san's life. 

Whenever I remember it, it feels like my heart is overflowing with something, it was such a scary incident... .... .

I just suddenly remember it even when I'm alone. Scary.

Spending my days like that, right now I came to the head chef's herb garden

"I wonder if mint or rosemary is good"


I am currently squatting down in front of the herb garden while rummaging around it, while wondering what kind of herbs will I pick today.


The greenery that is being illuminated by the morning sunlight is pretty.


Looking at the verdant and thick greenery, I couldn't help but feel at ease and my heart calming down.


The expression of Hurst-san overflowing with seductiveness is being replaced by the herbs.

The green and white pattern of the pineapple mint.

The pretty green of the peppermint 

And the pointed (spiky) sharpness of the rosemary.

As long as you removed a certain part from it, each of their fragrance will airily waft.

"a....I'm being healed..."

The pineapple mint's sweet and refreshing fragrance.

The peppermint's cool like fragrance.

And the rosemary's peculiarity, with just a small quantity an impactful fragrance can spread.

"... ...I wish it was a day like this today"


THAT didn't have to happen during the time when I used garlic for cooking. 


If it was like today when my hand is enveloped by a refreshing fragrance, when he kis―― . 

" ―― No, Wrong. That is also wrong!"

That's right. In the first place that kiss is bad!

Whether it's garlic or herbs, having that sort of seductiveness is bad!

It's just wrong!


I even went all the way here at the herb garden to have it exorcised and just when I was finally being healed by the herbs I suddenly remembered it again. 

As I was shaking my head, a familiar voice echoed behind me.

"Wa hahaha! What is this country bumpkin doing! Is there a bug on your head!"


Un. Today's another energetic haughty laugh he's got.


"Good Morning"


"To think that there is a bug that is willing to stick to you! That's one curious bug!"


Completely ignoring my greeting, he laughed in that haughty manner once again. It seems like this time's laughter is caused by a bug.

"Ah, Hurst-san"

"Fu-un! (Humph!) That again! I won't fall for that aga ―― "

"Today as well that mouth (speech) of yours isn't decreasing"

"Hiii-ttu"

And it's the same H.I shriek from the shaved blonde ashime. That's because behind him is Hurst-san who appeared, is clad in a blizzard.

".... ....You (omae*rude way of saying You), just a while ago you weren't supposed to be here.

"No. I am always together with Isarai-sama"


Compared to the shivering frightened shaved blonde ashime, Hurst-san is as expressionless as ever. 


Scary.

His blizzard-like expression and words.

All of it is scary.

After the lingering garlic scent incident, he didn't try having a day off anymore, that's why, what he said just now is the truth.

"Hurst-san, as expected don't you want to take a break?"

With my words, Hurst-san shook his head and said, "About that, even though we've talked about this a lot... .What I really want to do is to escort you, Isarai-sama"


 The truth is, Hurst-san has no interest at all in taking a day off. Well a few days ago, I encountered the Saint and I even asked him to make me a knife, just when it was finally his break. 

That's why I wanted to have him an early break but I was told by Hurst-san that he doesn't need any. 

What a sudden corporate slave declaration.

Ignoring the opportunity, easily brushing off the day off I was suggesting. It's just obvious that it didn't have any appeal to Hurst-san.

Rather, he just got firmer on not having any at all.

From the shaved blonde ashime, he looked over to me and said,  "Of course, what Isarai-sama wanted is to become independent and that is also something I want to grant. However, I am the only escort of Isarai-sama. Just thinking that something might happen, or rather the times when I am not by your side the more I couldn't relax."

Hurst-san's light blue eyes, that were always gentle, and sometimes is overflowing with sex appeal, looks a bit sad right now.

"Isarai-sama said that you want me to be always healthy/energetic. But the reason why I can be energetic is that I'm always beside Isarai-sama... that's why please allow me to escort you"

a, a, a.... ... .

During a blizzard, the Mama Bear, who is frantically searching for the baby bear... ... .

"Okaa-san! (Mommy)" ...Is what I hear.

Un. un, un. It's alright! Mommy is here!

"... ...It's not that it's impossible....so yes please"

Is what I suddenly said. It feels like the more we continue this conversation, the stronger the baby bear feeling is. 

And just like this I continuously failed on making Hurst-san take a break.

"What's this, it seems like the northern dog doesn't know the importance of taking a day off!"

 Hearing our exchanges like that, the shaved blonde ashime suddenly got his bravado back.

"Being able to properly have a break is also work. Even if you work without a break that wouldn't mean that it is a right one. Thinking about the efficiency of the work, it's better to have fulfilled relaxation. That's what it means to be a capable man"

Un. That's right!

Though it's surprising coming from the shaved blonde ashime who hasn't done any work!

Seeing the proud shaved blonde ashime, Hurst-san nodded in agreement.

"Yes. You are probably correct. That's why for someone like me, Isarai-sama has been worried that I might always be stuck inside the room and that it shouldn't be like that."

And then a glint appeared to those light blue eyes of his.

"――That's why from now on, every day, I will be doing my training here"

"Wha? Tra...Training?"

*po-kan to*, Shaved blonde ashime's dumbfoundedly gaped. Seeing him like that I nodded my head in affirmation and said,  "Yes. While I'll be taking care of the herbs here, I thought it would be better for Hurst-san to be able to move his body at the knight's training ground and it is also quite close here"

Since I have continuously failed on having Hurst-san take a break, I would like him to still be the Knight Escort Captain as much as possible. 

So the conclusion, while he's escorting me if I can let Hurst-san do what he wants then it's gonna be fine. 

Hurst-san wanted to move his body a bit but he doesn't want to leave me in my room while he's at the training ground. Therefore, I thought it's all good as long as I tag along but it seems like Hurst-san is also worried that I might get bored. 

That's why I've decided to take care of the herb garden.

You don't really need to give a lot of care when raising herbs but a minimum amount of care is still needed. 

If I take of the herb garden, Hurst-san wouldn't have to worry, I can also be healed by the different kinds of herbs here and what's more, I can use them in my cooking and the one who's taking care of the herbs, the head chef would also be happy. Just the herbs alone and things will get lively.  This is really what they call killing two birds with one stone.

With such a nice idea, that shaved blonde ashime dumbfoundedly muttered, "Every....day...training?"

"Yes. A while ago you've helped me a lot with my training and it was a big help. That's why, please, by all means, help me out again." Hearing Hurst-san's words, shaved blonde ahsime averted his eyes and stared down at the thing on his waist. 

What's there is the sparkly sword, the heirloom sword number 2

Ever since that day, he was already wearing it around his waist, it seems like he hurriedly had his sword fix. 

I'm glad you were able to fix it. 

"We are busy!"

"Yes. I've heard about it. That's why I already asked someone from the higher-ups and was told that the time is quite flexible around this time, every morning. I have also gotten permission"

"... ....kuu"

"Well, then why don't we start our training?"


Hurst-san's light blue eyes seems to be pressing shaved blonde ashime as they headed towards the knight's training grounds.


... ...Well, I already know this but the one with the most free time in the knight's order is this shaved blonde ashime. No doubt about it.

Which means, Hurst-san's sparring partner will be him... ...

Shaved blonde ahsime went inside the Knight's office first and brought his followers who were inside the office and unlike before, they didn't have any swords at their waist. (Eunie: ROLFMAO) 

It seems like it was shaved blonde ashime's instructions. Un. Well, there was that incident before.

It's different than from before when shaved blonde ashime was holding a real sword because today he's only carrying a training wooden sword (bokuto).

Then Hurst-san held the wooden sword left on the training ground... ... .

A large number of people were holding swords vs one person using a wooden sword.

It's overwhelmingly unfavorable for Hurst-san... ...!

"Well, yeah....that's....how it's gonna end... ...."

Even from afar, I can see the overwhelming difference in strength. 

Unlike before, Hurst-san is sealing the Ki Aura, so he won't be able to immediately defeat them in one swing. However, if it's Hurst-san, whether it's the difference between the weapons or having to face an overwhelming number....those things don't matter at all. 

   

  ――  Alone.



    ――Another one got their hairs cut.

Some had both sides cut, all parts were cut off, and those only on the right parts were cut in a flash, some even had their heads shaved, and there are also only those with left sides cut. But it seems like he was able to give them all a cut.

I wonder if it's because they're part of the security, that's why they actually have a firm body built.

And since they're a group of guys, they gave off that manly stench or something. That all these men are having various kinds of hairstyles or something. Seeing them like this, I couldn't help but remember someone... 

"... ...third-generation (san daime)" 

K Ｂｉｈｅｉ (Eunie: There's a play of words here, which might be completely lost if tl-ed in English.(K-kei) Keibihei usually means security guards/which is the knights, however it might also be like those Visual Kei bands, with hairstyles, (image sample will be down below) Another thing is this wasn't in Japanese characters but was actually spelled in alphabet so maybe it could also mean that it is being referred to some sort of group or comedian stage name. Nothing appears though when I google it *n* or KEI BIHEI means the genderless fashion going on in Japan right now. *pic is down below.*)


"Brothers (burazazu)"
