Shizu continued walking down the road to a nearby inn with an asleep Azi held close in her arms. He was giving off a soft snore with a dumb smile on his face as he dreamed about something that Shizu could only guess at but she could hear a bit of mumbling coming from him. "So Soft ...ZZZZZZ and ZZZZ Fluffy haha... ha." As he talked in his sleep, he cuddled his head close to Shizu's furry ear which caused them to slightly twitch at the touch of his soft cheek. A bit of red began to form on Shizu's face, but she pushed back her promiscuous thoughts and she began walking a bit faster to a nearby inn. Arriving at the entrance, Shizu called out to get the attention of any staff still working. "Hello! Innkeeper, are you here?" Out from a side entrance located behind the front counter of the inn came a young woman in white sleeping clothes. This was the innkeeper and she recognized who her late night customer was. "Lady Shizu, what can I do for you? And at such a late hour." "Do you h
At an inn that specializes in a couple's experience, Shizu was hugging a small boy from behind. This small boy was Azi and he felt turmoil in his heart as he felt that this situation was wrong in so many ways. What was funny was how neither of them knew of the inn’s speciality but even without that knowledge the pair’s current situation could be called risque. From the remainder of his fractured memories, Azi felt that it was very immoral for a man and woman who are not married to sleep in the same bed. The immorality was only further compounded by how Shizu had her top off and was pressing her breasts into his lower back. This had been going on for the past hour and Azi felt that he should speak up on this matter. "I really think a man and woman should not sleep in the same bed, unless they are married. Also, you should put your top back on before you sleep or else you will catch a cold." In response to him, Shizu argued. "No, I don't think it's wrong. We are apprentice and kn
The innkeeper was making her way down the hallway to the private room that Azi and Shizu were sleeping in. As began her routine of checking up on her guests, she knocked on the door and declared her presence. She was confused to hear no response as it was already early in the afternoon and the two should be awake by now. Concerned that the two might have fallen ill as the pair looked quite tired and a bit battered when they arrived, she slid the door open to the small room. The innkeeper looked on in shock at the scene now in front of her. During the night, it seems that Shizu, on instinct, had again buried Azi into her ample bare breasts and was petting his disheveled black hair. What was different this time was that Shizu's embrace was loose, which gave Azi the freedom to move around in his sleep. Without the restrictive grip coming from Shizu, Azi had also on instinct rubbed his cheeks against Shizu's breasts as if they were the softest pillows he had ever felt. What was truly
After seeing off the two staff members that escorted him back to Kajima's house, Azi went to his room and began contemplating the recent events as he sat on his bed. When he kissed Shizu the night prior, he felt a warm unknown emotion in his heart. He wasn't sure if it was love due to his lack of knowledge and memory on the matter but could tell that he truly liked that emotion. Seeing as he liked that emotion, he deduced that it was likely an important emotion in his past and felt a bit worried that he could recall any similar memories. As he thought harder about the previous night, he was forced to embarrassingly remember that when they awoke Shizu had seen him suckling on her nipples. The memory made him blush wildly and made him question why he would do such a thing, especially while unconscious. He wondered if he had a unique interest in breasts but, wanting to not dig any deeper as he felt he might awaken a strange part of himself, he tried to take his mind off of it. Examini
-1 month later- Still the middle of winter of the Yamaton Calendar, it is Decem 2nd of the year 4831 AS (After Strife). Two guards of the village of Shisayama were standing at their post along the 3 feet tall stone walled perimeter of the village outskirts. These two guards were tasked by their leader to guard the western outer entrance with a squad of 6 people. The entrance had no gate and was just a dirt path that went between the opening in the stone wall. 4 of their group were not present at the post today as they had previously decided to work in pairs of two which allowed the other four the chance to go see their relatives and friends in the village. It also allowed them to get sufficient rest throughout their rotation of guards but left the gate somewhat understaffed. While this warranted worry, they found that since Yashimu’s investigation the number of monster attacks had lessened in the past couple weeks. So the 3 pairs thought they would be in the clear and would rotat
Opening the door to Kajima's living room, Azi saw that Shizu was sitting at the dining table writing letters and going through the stacks of paperwork that she had brought back from her office in the village. For the past two weeks, Shizu had been adapting to her new duties in Shisayama. On top of her work to do while in Shisayama and the work from Kujyuri added her workload which made Shizu's workload double. Noticing his arrival, Shizu turned her tired head up from the papers and greeted him with a somewhat dreary expression. "Welcome back Azi, how was your morning training? Did anything happen?" "Just ran into a small swarm of gengiri when I was passing one of the outer entrances. The guards and I took care of them, but I do have to fix a spear that I broke during the fight." Laying the broken spear he was carrying onto the dining table, he then sat at an open chair as he poured himself a drink of water from a jug that was set out for Shizu. The broken weapon got Shizu's atten
After getting their fill of each other's company, Shizu released her hold on Azi and they both got up from the couch. Shizu was the first to move away which prompted Azi to call out to her. "You can expect your weapon ready and with an improvement as well. I'll see you later tonight." Shizu, looking refreshed, responded with a smile and a curt nod. She went back to the dining table to continue her paperwork. In addition to attending to her increased workload, Shizu was also writing regular reports to Ozen about Azi. She made sure that Azi was never able to see the contents of her letters as she prefaced them as confidential information of the nation to deter him from ever looking. While she thought of Azi as a close friend and potential fiance, Shizu was not willing to share her and Ozen's shared agenda concerning his future. She did not want to jeopardize her duty to the nation of Kujyuri, which made her feel guilty for hiding the contents of the letters from Azi. She knew from t
Decem 4th of 4831 AS In the capital Kujyuri, Ozen sat upon his throne with his council off to the side and his son, Yashimu, standing behind and at his left side. Today, Ozen was robed in his imperial regalia which consisted of a green and white robe that had ornate patterns sewn into its seams and hems. The added details to his garments added to the majesty of his attire. The materials used were of high-quality linen and were smooth like silk but sturdy as leather. Finally, the green cape that Ozen wore had a large emblem of Kujyuri’s national symbol embossed on its back. The emblem symbolized the recent feat of the Ozen's past that impressed the emperor enough that he had given him his title of Great General and alias of Great Reclaimer. The emblem that signified Kujyuri was of three tools crossed together, one the left was a hoe, in the middle was a sword, and on the right was an axe. These were the common tools used by the citizens of Kujyuri who followed Ozen to reclaim large
