Traveling Through Tales Chapter 60 Brother and Sister
Shizu, Nosuri, and Ougi had left Kajima's house and made their way into the village chief's office. Inside was Yashimu and his 4 younger brothers who were standing around a table with a large map with numerous markings and notes attached to its surface. The map showed the surroundings of the village, from the nearby forest, mountains, and main roads. The marking denoted the location of the past and recent investigations with their accompanying reports. Turning their eyes up from the papers they were examining, all 5 brothers turned to the entrance and greeted the timely arrival of their older sister and the two mercenaries. Yashimu called out to her first. "Shizu, it's good to see that you are well rested. How is Azi, is he alright?" "He has a mild fever and he is resting in bed right now." "Speaking of this Azi boy, just who is he? He can't be just some normal villager. Is he a foreigner from another nation of Yamato?" Asked the youngest brother. "We actually don't know much.”
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 61 Shared Delight
Exiting his room, Azi saw the familiar sight of Kajima in the kitchen. He was joined by Rulu who was wearing an apron as she stirred a pot of what looked like meat and potato stew. The smell of the stew reminded him of what he had eaten before in his past and it succeeded in getting the intended reaction as it had whetted his appetite. Hearing him approach, Kajima looked over from the oven to speak to Azi. "How is your fever? All better?" "I think it's gone down a bit. But I think I’m more concerned about how hungry I am." Azi rubbed his stomach to indicate his increasing appetite, to which Kajima reacted by smiling wryly. "You didn't eat much when you were asleep but don't worry, I made plenty for tonight. Dinner will be ready soon, Nosuri and Ougi came back and said that Shizu would be bringing Yashimu over for dinner. The two mercenaries are currently in their room getting changed and Shizu should be back soon." "That's good to hear. Anything I can do to help?" "Well, if you
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 62 Sharing Happiness
Kajima left the dining room for a moment and returned with an ornate box with a familiar emblem on one of its sides. Shizu and Azi recognized that the box was from the well-known pastry shop in the village. Azi perked up and asked with upbeat expectation. "No way, is that what I think it is?" "You would be correct. Thanks to Rulu we were able to get plenty of your favorite dessert." Sadi Kajima as he set the box down on the dining table. Azi turned to Rulu and asked in a surprised tone. "How did you get one? They are usually sold out since you can only get them if you reserve an order and the amount it costs to do so is incredibly high for just one." A bit fluster, Rulu explained as she flailed her hands around in a panic. "Well, when I went to the shop with Kajima, they recognized me and gave it to me as a gift to celebrate my arrival to Shisayama. It-its really n-no big deal." Azi was amazed by Rulu's simple explanation as he had gone several times in his free time in an att
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 63 Nosuri and Ougi
After helping Kajima clean up after dinner, Nosuri and Ougi had entered their room to begin their preparations for bed. While they had changed into their sleepwear, they had yet to organize the luggage into the nearby closets. Nosuri's clothes mostly consisted of a few pairs of her casual attire which was a skintight white blouse that did not have sleeves as they got in the way when she operated her bow. The white blouse clung tightly to her skin which accentuated her bountiful and curvy breast and rear. To add a bit of modesty to her attire, she wore clothes that went over her blouse that looked like a coat with short sleeves with a short straight blue skirt that at least cover her hips but left her bountiful chest free due to how the second lay of clothes were not big enough to cover her. Nosuri did not mind the amount of exposure her body was presenting, but rather took pride in her womanly charms as she believed that any "good" woman would have no shame in her body but rather a
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 64 Rulu and Yashimu
Sitting on one of the prepared futons in one of Kajima's spare rooms was Yashimu who had a somewhat exasperated expression on his face. When he witnessed the sight of Azi kissing Shizu's cheek and her subsequent reactions, he could not believe what he was seeing. Never in his life did he expect that Shizu could make that kind of womanly expression. Ever since he was 10 years old, he always remembered how Shizu had a serious expression and always spoke to him in a serious tone. She became more relaxed as she got older, but it was more that she had a layer of calm that was always hidden under her expression which became more apparent when she interacted with men. She never showed interest in any man who tried to court her hand in marriage. Those that were bold enough got a fist their face, while the ones she gave a chance were the ones she was amicable with but were so badly beaten down by her trials that they gave up and distanced themselves from her. Her main source of friends or c
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 65 Azi and Shizu
Getting settled in bed like usual, Azi was being held from behind by Shizu. This time, due to Azi's kiss on her cheek, Shizu opted to hold him in a firmer grip that made him feel a bit of discomfort. While she knew that Azi was trying to tease her as payback for what she did to him in the bath, she didn't think he would do it so openly in front of other people. In front of Kajima was fine but in front of her own family made it more embarrassing. As she remembered how Azi's lips felt as they touched her cheek, it made her feel a tickle in her heart which caused her to reflexively hug Azi with a bit more force than usual. Bearing the slight pressure on his stomach, he still chuckled as he reveled in his small victory against Shizu. Hearing that he was chuckling at her expense, she did not want this little chuckling puppy in her arms from getting too full of himself. He might be older than her but he was still her apprentice. She began to nibble on his ear to get him worked up and to
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 66 Morning
As if instinctively reacting to his usual routine, Azi awoke at first light. He felt a wet sensation on his lips and that there was something soft missing from his palms. Taking stock of his surroundings, he recognized that he was in his room. He felt oddly refreshed from his recent lucid dream as it felt so real that he thought he would get completely lost in it. He slightly flushed as he remembered the finer details of his dream and he thought to himself. 'That was quite a dream. It is a good thing it didn't actually happen..... Right?' A bit of doubt sprouted in his mind, but he nonetheless lifted his body up with his hands. He saw that Shizu was lying beside him, which was no surprise. Shizu did have her top off like she did in his dream, but this had happened before when they slept together. Azi knew that she had a sloppy posture when sleeping so he played it off as coincidence. Remembering that he had to stay in bed for a month and had no pressing work, Azi began to wake Shi
Traveling Through Tales Chapter 67 Morning Planning
After Kajima understood the current situation from Yashimu and Rulu, he sat Shizu and Azi down inna seiza posture on the floor of the dining room. As they sat on their knees, they looked up in horror at the expression of rage in Kajima's devil-like eyes. He began his tirade about the modesty that an unmarried man and woman should have and threatened to throw them out to the streets if they continued such behavior under his roof. This was countered as Azi and Shizu explained what really happened with blushing faces. They took turns as they retold their intimate moment last night and explained how it was a lucid dream. Kajima's eyes of wrath lessened as they then explained the details and learned that nothing sexual had occurred, but concern began to mar his expression. He worried that Shizu was possibly forcing Azi down the path of her choosing by constantly enticing him with her body and antics, but it seemed that Azi explained how it was his own choice. While it was an unconscious

Chapter 106 Arrival in Kujyuri
On the 7th day of the journey, the caravan finally arrived at the gates of the Kujyuri. The welcome was quite extravagant since word had reached the capital that Rulu would be returning early. Even though she had only left the capital for a few weeks, she was very much missed by her people as the usual sight of Rulu helping the commoner had become a daily occurrence for them.This was also a special time as all of Ozen’s children would be returning. While not making any noteworthy actions during the ambush from the Uzuruans, Ozen’s 4 youngest sons had accompanied the caravan and were delegated to grunt work by Shizu to aid in the guarding of the second carriage under Touma’s command.The 4 brothers sighed in relief when they rode past the gate on their personal hororon mounts. They heard the cheers of the citizens grow loud at the front of the caravan since the people began to catch sight of Rulu, who sat on the front seat of the front carriage with Yashimu.Rulu blushed a bit, as th

Finished with situating the captured assailants, the caravan returned to its journey to the capital Kujyuri. The assailants were tied up and sat in an empty space in the supply carriage pulled along by the second carriage of the caravan. A guard took the reins at the front while at the back, Azi and Touma sat inside. Touma, who was in charge of the second carriage’s safety, was currently applying a magic binding spell on the assailants which caused them to feel sluggish and heavy. This magic spell derived its roots from colorless magic as it did not emit any elemental color when used. When Azi asked Touma about the spell, he commented that it sounded like gravity magic which sparked Touma’s natural curiosity that came from being the scholarly thaumaturge he was. A lengthy conversation about Azi’’s rudimentary knowledge about physics ensued and this was somewhat like a kind of punishment for the assailants. The constant back and forth of the two made it impossible for any of them to

Chapter 104 Assailants
After a somewhat rough awakening, Azi now stood outside of the carriage he was just sleeping in. The cold night air chilled his skin but it did little to help his situation as he could still feel the stinging heat from the red teeth marks on the side of his neck. He looked to his right and saw the offending person who had bitten him in his sleep. Noticing his gaze, Shizu turned her head away in embarrassment and coughed a bit to divert the conversation. “Let’s get going. If we don’t act quickly, the enemy will get away and we'll be left with no answers to our questions.” Azi sighed and gave a nod of agreement before running off with Shizu who was followed by a group of their caravan’s guards. Meanwhile, Kajima and Yashimu had agreed to stay near their carriage in order to keep watch over their belongings and to guard Rulu. Of the caravan’s guard detail of 50 people, 20 guards protected the first carriage, 10 guards with Ozen’s four youngest sons and Touma protected the second car

Chapter 103 Traveling to The Capital
Duodecem 18th of 4831 AS During the end of winter, snow was still prevalent in the nation of Kujyuri as it was known for its year long snowfall. The caravan, while unhindered from the lessening snow, still felt the effects as the personnel still slightly shivered from the cold while in the middle of their trek through the forest and mountain paths of the snowy nation. It had been 3 days since the caravan had begun the 7 days journey to the capital and all their pace was good. It consisted of three carriages that each pulled along an additional storage carriage that was filled with the caravan’s belongings and supplies. They traveled in a line formation and were protected by the remaining group of guards that came with Rulu when she was traveling out of Kujyuri for the first time. Over half of her original guard was killed during the trek to Shisayama since they redirected their travel path to answer a distress call made by Shizu and her forces who were out on an expedition concern

Chapter 102 Winter Departure
Duodecem the 15th of 4382 AS On a somewhat warmer winter morning, for the first time in a while, Azi was spending time outside of his house and getting some exercise by sparring with Nosuri. As two arrows came flying at him, Azi jumped to the side in a panic. Being somewhat quick on his feet, he narrowly dodged it but was unable to retaliate against his opponent as he did not have his gauntlets equipped nor was he reinforcing his body with magic energy. In fact, Azi was purposefully not using his magic since the scrutinizing gaze that Shizu gave at the side told him to not even dare to try it. The reason for this started with Azi who, after constant protest, was able to convince Shizu to let him out of the house under the condition that he would be supervised by her at all times and that he did not use any magic. Shizu added the no magic condition as she had started to suspect that his magic energy was somewhat unusual and out of control. Recently, she deduced that a possible cau

Chapter 101 Results and Rests
A few days after Azi awoke from his long slumber, he felt a familiar, but overly warm sensation encapsulating him. His eyes flickered open as his usual habit of waking at the crack of dawn kicked in. He moved his head to survey his surroundings and he again felt a soft sensation brush against his cheek. Believing that it was a pillow, Azi proceeded to bury himself in its ever comfortable feeling. Unexpectedly, what caught his attention was that he felt as if the pillow was pushing him closer. It took him a couple seconds to realize that there were a pair of arms around his head that were holding him firmly while at the same time a pair of legs were wrapped around his lower waist. Waking up a bit more, Azi then realized that he was in the somewhat clingy, but unsurprising position of being hugged like a pillow by Shizu. For the past few days, Azi noticed that Shizu had become more clingy since the day he woke up. She would usually hug him from behind whenever they slept together in

Chapter 100 The Waking Dinner
On the night of the fourth day after the incident, Shizu had invited Rulu, Nosuri, and Ougi for dinner as Rulu offered to make Shizu a meal to help lift her spirits. While Shizu wanted to help cook for everyone she was not allowed into the kitchen due to Rulu’s insistence, so Shizu was relegated to setting the table. Her mind was still on Azi as he still showed no signs of waking up anytime soon, but after placing down the last of the plates Shizu caught a whiff of the food and felt her mind calm a bit. She then saw that the meal was ready as Nosuri and Ougi were walking over with plates of food in hand. Taking another whiff of the delicious smell in the air, Shizu sighed in relief and she complimented Rulu. “Your cooking always smells so good Rulu, I truly wish I could eat your food everyday.” Shizu then proceeded to rub her cheek against her younger sister’s as she gave a forceful hug charged with sisterly love. “T-Thank you Sister, but please not in front of the others.

Chapter 99 Conflict of Identity and Purpose
Shizu slumped on the couch in the living room of Azi’s house. It was a piece of furniture they had picked out on their day out due to how soft and comfy the black colored couch felt to the touch. Filled with Horonon feather, the couch felt somewhat firm but pliable like a stiff bean bag. Its outer cover was made of fur from an animal that was not local to Kujyuri which made buying it quite pricey, but the two of them chose to splurge a bit on their shopping date.It had been 3 days since the festival disaster and since then, Shizu and Yashimu were at work as they took turns throughout the day to take command of the relief efforts. One would take command of the village guard while the other would rest. It was currently Shizu's turn to sleep but she had to attend an unscheduled meeting with Jerome who demanded to see Azi.Shizu told him that he was injured during the disaster and that he would not be able to see anyone at the moment. This caused Jerome to protest and reasoned that he h

Chapter 98 The Aftermath of Disaster
“Damnit!!” Shouted Jerome as he pounded his fist into the top of the table he sat at. He was currently inside his room at a luxurious inn. After his failed attempt to join the fight, Jerome was whisked away by his mercenary captain, Ghost.Due to Ghost’s rough handling of Jerome, the captain had inadvertently caused Jerome to pass out. While passed out, he had a continuous nightmare of his traumatic experience which eventually woke him hours after the battle ended. He was then called to meet with Shizu and Yashimu to discuss the relief efforts to combat the issues that will arise from this sudden monster attack. Jerome expected to get a tongue lashing from both of them, but he didn’t expect what was now on his table.After their meeting, Yashimu gave Jerome a packet of papers and was instructed to review them for the meeting that would take place the next day. It was already the middle of the night but Jerome, a “hard working” council member, pushed forward with his pride as his fuel
