Chapter 79

POV: Asher

Seiji has the gift of giving me reasons to get furious at him, something that I do not do very often, not even when Takamori sets his mind into bothering me towards something, nor when my soldiers mess up around me…

I have to take a deep breath to calm myself after that, the more time I spend with Seiji, the more it gets harder to keep my cool.

I'm starting to wonder if all of this is worth the trouble after all… but then I remember his massive figure, remember him fighting, not only the ghouls, not only opening a path among their front lines with ease but, most of all, remembering how he fought against Warrior Queen, not as a beast, but as the shadow of the great samurai he used to be.
