Traveling Through Tales Chapter 37 Forging Something New
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
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 38 Ozen's Court
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
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 39 Rulu's Preparations
After leaving the throne room, Yashimu hurried to find Rulu to ensure that she was ready for her trip to Shisayama. Rulu was the youngest daughter of their family and had a weak constitution during her childhood which left her bedridden for the most part of her life. Only in recent years had Rulu been able to move more freely out of her sick bed as her internal magic energy began to mature and allowed her to sustain a healthier body. It was common knowledge that all people in the world have internal magical energy, but it is less developed during childhood and matures when children reach their adolescence at about age 15. Unfortunately, some people on rare occasions lose their internal magical energy later in life. This affliction was what Rulu's mother suffered which caused her to develop an illness that eventually took her life. Ozen took the loss of his wife the hardest and changed the most from her passing. He used to have a laxed and outgoing demeanor, but in the years after
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 40 Events in Motion
After a good hot bath, Azi came out of the bath in a change of sleep clothes and with a towel he used to dry his hair. Moving to the living room, he greeted Shizu and Kajima who sat around the dining table. It seemed that they were waiting for him as Shizu had a somewhat hungry look on her face as she stared at tonight's meal. Azi could not blame her as it seemed that they would be having a large amount of delicious meat for dinner as a large roast of what looked like beef was on the table. The animal that was butchered for this meat was a cow-like animal called a moosu which looked like a hairy brown yak with a pair of long blue horns. After a bit of nagging from Shizu, the three of them started filling their bellies full of the sweet and savory meat. After such a large and heavy meal, everyone felt ready for bed and that is what they did after cleaning up after themselves. Of course, Shizu joined Azi in his bed and the two had a short talk about their day. The first to talk was
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 41 Day Out
After a few non alcoholic drinks and a bit of bantering to get the conversation going, Ben started to talk business as he noticed the new hammer on Azi’s toolbelt. "So how's that hammer holding up? Is the metal any good?" "So far I have no complaints, the durability and strength are similar to that of refined steel under certain conditions. After I examined it yesterday for any strains or cracks, I found no issues from the tests I performed the day before. Here. Take a look." Azi fished through his bag and took out a brown notebook. Before handing it to them with his hammer, he flipped to a specific page to show the notes he took down concerning his observations and experiments. Ben and Bail looked over the notes and their eyes began to widen as they were amazed by what they read. Bail then grabbed the hammer and began to give it an appraising look. "Is it true, can it really replace refined steel?" Asked Bail, his voice tinged with excitement. "Not completely, it makes for a c
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 42 Runes and Potions
Azi's last destination before heading home was at the village barracks. There, he went to look for Touma to discuss some pointers on magic and runes. Touma was considered an advanced thaumaturge who originally lived in the capital of the Empire known as Yamato.The reason for his relocation was due to how he got fed up with the toxic and bitter rivalry between the competing factions in Yamato and requested to be reassigned to Great General Ozen's army. Each Great General had their own personal armies and Ozen's mostly consisted of spearmen and very few thaumaturges, so when Touma came knocking Ozen agreed heartly.Since his reassignment, for the past couple years, Touma has been teaching apprentices to become thaumaturges in Ozen's army. This gave him enough experience to become a somewhat decent teacher but he was still more of a researcher. Using the talisman Touma previously gave him, Azi poured his magical energy into the piece of paper and suddenly an arrow appeared on the paper
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 43 Accident
With the day's light fading, Azi rushed home to make it in time for dinner and to obtain his long-awaited dessert. Seeing that the lights were still on in Kajima's house, Azi rushed to the door and slid it open as he declared his presence. "I'm home, Kajima! What's for dinner!?" "You got here just in time. Go get cleaned up in the bath, we are having roasted meat with some wrapped vegetable dumplings tonight." "Were you able to obtain the dessert?" Asked Azi who looked on with expectant eyes. Laughing, Kajima quickly placated the boy with a jerk of his head. "Not to worry I was able to obtain a single serving before they were all sold out." Pointing over to the kitchen counter, Kajima indicated a small wooden container that held the dark colored pastry. When Azi saw the wooden container, his excitement grew and without batting an eye to Kajima, he quickly made his way to the bath. Kajima laughed at the boy's child-like excitement which contrasted with his actual age. He then t
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 44 Strange Drunken Feelings
Setting the drunk and asleep Azi in bed, Shizu moved over to the closet next to Azi's bed. She then took out a set of her own sleeping clothes as it had become normal for her these past few weeks to treat Azi's room as her own. She felt that it was a bother for her to walk to her room every morning to get a change of clothes, so she moved some of her clothing over to Azi's closet. This way she was able to change clothes as soon as she woke up. She had also been training Azi to learn court etiquette by having him dress her in a formal manner. This was part of the intended apprenticeship training she had in mind and she expected Azi to rise in rank in the future, which meant he needed to know court etiquette as it was necessary for meeting the Emperor, a King, Great Generals, or associating with other nobles and knights. While Shizu would usually have Azi change her clothes she would sometimes change in the bathroom so that she could enjoy a bath. She knew that Azi was likely in a dee
