Chapter 154: Suke-san, Kaku-san?
Chapter 154: Suke-san, Kaku-san?
After the rock-like man comes out with his pervert talk, we talk with him for a while.
And after that, we finally understand the situation.
「……so, you mean your name is Pervert?」
「What the, so your name is Pervert?」
「No! It’s not Pervert! It’s Sukebee!」
Hearing what Roomba and I said, the Pervert-man strongly corrected us.
Roomba and I frown after hearing the loud voice of the man.
This man, he has a loud voice so it’s a bit annoying when he’s close to you.
「Huh, either way, it’s the same hentai, isn’t it」
「You rude bastard! It’s wrong I said! My name doesn’t have that kind of hentai in meaning. It means ‘Someone who helps the people’! Don’t make such a common mistake!」
I see, so in other words, the Pervert’s name is Sukebee, huh?
I mean, it’s hard to understand it if you say it so suddenly………
「Now now, Sukebe-senpai. They are people who came from a foreign country, so don’t get that angry」
「It’s Sukebee! Pronounce the ‘e’ properly!」
When Roomba and I are listening to Sukebee’s words with mixed emotions, the man who wears the light blue Kagura clothes interjected.
Looking at the side, a young man is standing there with androgynous features and hair that was cut evenly at the shoulder.
He has gentle look on his almond eyes, but he’s likely a person with a particular personality since he appears to be able to tease his senpai without hesitation.
「This person is?」
I ask with some expectation.
There was the incomprehensible hentai guy before this, so I think it’s not going to be a decent one this time.
Even if his name is not Kakunoshin, but at least I wish his name is something close to that.
「Please excuse me, even though I don’t have a name that is somewhat close to the one you are talking about?」
「It’s fine! I’m going to call you Kaku-san! Come on, introduce yourself!」
When the young man said those words while smiling wryly, Haru hit his waist as she looked annoyed.
Then the young man softly smiles while wearing a ‘can’t be helped’ expression on his face and say,
「If Haru-sama says so. Pleased to meet you, I am Hyoudou Kakuuemon. It would be to Haru-sama’s delight if you call me Kaku-san right now」
「Who are you! Where’s the cat-shaped robot! Bring out Kakunoshin!」
「I don’t understand about that cat-shaped robot or something but, unfortunately, there is no one with the name of Kakushin, so please allow me to take on the role」
Kakuuemon answer while laughing *kukuku*, not worried at all.
Kaku-san in Mito Kougane is someone who is said to be overserious in personality, but I can’t perceive that sort of disposition from this Kaku-san in front of me.
Rather, it looked like that Sukebee guy is the one who has a more overserious personality.
「……hey, Haru. You can certainly call these two Suke-san and Kaku-san, but were there no one else with better names? 」
「I have no choice. There are no other subordinates who can be called Suke-san and Kaku-san other than these two」
Perhaps Haru also realizes it as she answers while looking dissatisfied when I cast a glance at her.
Oh well, it’s already amazing that there are two people among the subordinate guards that could conveniently be called Suke-san and Kaku-san.
I guess it’s impossible to perfectly search for characters with similar names from the story of Mito Kougane.
「Is that so. Whatever the name of the person themselves, you’re still going to call them Suke-san and Kaku-san, huh」
「That’s right!」
When I casually said that, Haru also answer with the same cheerful expression on her face as she laughs.
「……it’s been on my mind since some time ago, but is that how you talk to Haru-sama! Do you know who this person is!!」
「Hey Suke-san! How many times have I told you yesterday, that line is only used to scold a criminal!」
「Mumumumu!」
Rebuked by the master - Haru -, Suke-san looks mortified as he can’t go against her.
Hahaha, they might not look like the character in the Mito Kougane, but it’s great they can say such an important line spontaneously and solemnly.
◆
After Roomba and I introduce myself to Suke-san and Kaku-san once more, Haru said to us with sparkling eyes.
「Al! Let’s walk down the street today! I will punish and reform those people who are doing evil deeds in this city! If possible, it’d be great if the opponent is someone with some influence!」
I’ve been wondering if she will do something like that since she brought along Suke-san and Kaku-san with her.
「You said so, but is this really okay?」
「……even if something were to happen, we will protect Haru-sama, so it will be fine」
「Yes, we have also received Haru-sama’s parents somewhat, so we are going to be alright」
The two of them readily answered like that when I ask Haru’s guard - that is, Suke-san and Kaku-san.
Since they have Haru’s parents’ permission, I think they also have reliable guards placed inside the city.
I guess there is nothing for me to be worried about then?
「If the guards Suke-san and Kaku-san said so, then it’s fine I guess? But, Haru. Do you have the important seal case for you to announce yourself?」
Speaking of the important scene about the Grandfather, it would be when the Grandfather showed something that surpasses the authority from the wrongdoers’ influence even more and makes them prostrate on the ground. At least, it is necessary to have more authority to exceed influential person somewhat……
「Aah! I have something as a substitute for the seal case! This is it!」
When I ask her that, Haru took out something black and gold from her bosom with a big smile on her face.
That was the same crest that was inscribed on the back of Kaede-san, Suke-san, and Kaku-san clothes, a golden flower that appears to be blooming softly, with a golden circle on the outside as if to surround the flower.
It has a different design from the one in the story of Mito Kougane, but one can recognize the elegance and dignity that is not inferior from the on in the story.
As I stare fixedly at the thing, Suke-san and Kaku-san cried out in panic.
「Wai, prin――I mean, Haru-sama! That’s the wrong one!」
「Haru-sama, please take out the suitable seal case that you mentioned yesterday」
「Hm? Aah, you’re right! I took the wrong one!」
When Saku-san and Kaku-san pointed that out, Haru put back the seal case she had shown me into her bosom.
Just now, Suke-san was about to call Haru ‘princess’, right………
Would the daughter of the Daimyo be called a ‘princess’ over here? The nobles in the Kingdom call their daughter ‘young lady’.
Also, what does he mean by ‘suitable seal case’?
「This is the correct one!」
While I’m still thinking about it, Haru took out a seal case again.
The overall shape of this seal case is the same as the one from before, a square size case that fits into one’s palm. With gold and black color as its basic color and you can also make out a rough water dragon decoration on it, just like the one in the shrine.
It’s not as gorgeous as the one she took out at the beginning, but the impact it gave off is evenly matched.
As I take a long and hard look at the seal case, while Suke-san had a coughing fit as he looked at the sea case.
「Bfft! Ha, Haru-sama! Tha, that’s Ryuujirou-sama’s seal case! Where did you get that from!?」
「Ryuujirou-ojisan gave it to me yesterday! I taped on his shoulder and asked him if I could borrow the seal case if he has it with him, and he lend it to me willingly!」
「That person is soft on Haru-sama as usual」
Said Kaku-san while smiling wryly when Haru say that naively.
I don’t know who this Ryuujirou-ojisan is, but I have a feeling that he’s quite an influential figure. I don’t think it’s a suitable seal case at all but, would it be okay to borrow the seal case from such an important person? However, we need to show the people some degree of authority, so I think it’s good that we have a powerful backing behind us
「We have a perfect seal case now, let’s go to the city Al!」
「Aah, wait a sec. What about Shuichi and Roomba?」
I turn around to look at Shuichi and Roomba as Haru pulled my arm.
「I don’t really know about that Mito Kougane. So if possible, I would like to keep practicing with Roomba again today」
「Ooh? If Shuichi’s not going then I’m going to keep him company. I also don’t understand who that Mito Kougane is. Al, come back after you’ve finished with your business, alright」
Shuichi and Roomba - who don’t know about Mito Kougane - waved their hand and simply said that to me. The two of them are apparently going to remain at the shrine.
I want to ask Roomba why did he say something like that since he’s my guard, but we have Suke-san and Kaku-san here so I guess everything’s going to be fine? They were originally citizens of Kagura anyway, and it doesn’t seem to be a region where public safety is bad.
And since today is the last day for me, Roomba probably wanted to practice with Shuichi to his heart content.
I also want to thoroughly enjoy myself today, so I shouldn’t tell Haru about our parting for now……
Haru strongly pulled my right arm as I was thinking about that kind of thing.
「Al, snap out of it! C’mon, we’re descending the stairs quickly!」
「Wa, wait up! The stairs are steep here, it’s scary to run down the stairs like that!?」
