A little boy excited for his first hunt

In a small village called Ratea, a gentle sunlight is peeking through small on the room of a pair master and disciple. The room only has one bed and it is not that big enough for the two of them to fit so one of them is sleeping on the floor that of course is the master which even beg for the little boy to sleep on the bed since his small body might get sick and he won't be able to train properly which then made the boy agreed.

Though that is the case but the bed is empty and the little Izayoi nowhere to be seen then suddenly door was opened, a small peeked through it and smiled wickedly. He then tip toed until he is in front of his master. He is still wearing that mischievous smile in his face and then he waits for his master to wake up. He is already dressed for hunting and he also brought with him a wooden sword though he is aware that it is not enough that is why he had the knife that they had in the kitchen as a spare. Even though the wooden sword cannot slice through it can still knock those animals and he is quite proud of his strength.

By this time, you can see a small child looking proud with his fist that is only making him extremely adorable since he is blushing.

After a few minutes, Izayoi is now feeling tired since he really wants to greet his master when he wakes up since he is excited for the day.

Today is the day his master said that he will come with him to hunt.

Then suddenly his master groaned indicating that he is finally going to wake up but it is a false alarm and the little boy cannot help but feel a little bit down. He is aware that his master is not a person who can wake up early.

Hunting is a thing that his master can do when is having his day off from work. His master is employed in a mine that is not exclusive in Ratea where you can mine a rare metal that is used in helping someone store their magic to it. Even though it is rare there are still so many mining areas out there where you can get this that is why their pay is not that high.

"Izayoi, Izayoi" the little boy woke up and that is when he realized that he had fallen asleep in the middle of the room. His master's sheet is already folded and is sitting on top of his bed, his master is already on his way outside to wash his face.

"Izayoi you don't need to wake up that early, look at you, didn't you just fall asleep" The little boy then feel sorry and apologized to his master.

The little boy's apology just made Arju feel a little guilty since he doesn't seem to wake up properly these past few days, he wonders if he is weakening since he is getting older each year. He is turning forty-five this year and he cannot help but contemplate.

While finishing cleaning himself Arju saw the Little Izayoi waiting for him on the side looking excited and he cannot help but sigh. He was about to went inside to get dressed when his eyes caught something.

"Izayoi, that sword" The boy then looked at the sword that is on his waist.

"What about it Master?" Arju then facepalmed because of the natural way of how the little child told him that.

"Izayoi, you are not allowed to hunt if that is what you are going to use" Arju then shakes his head and then went inside.

Izayoi was left outside and hold his wooden sword he is smiling at the little birds chirping in the trees near their hut and some of them are near him, he was about to went to them when the door from their hut opened. He then saw his master all dressed while on his arm a cloth that seemed to be a cloak is hanging.

"Here it is Izayoi, wear this" His master gave the cloak to him though it only earned a confused look to the little child.

"We are going to the market; I have an acquaintance there who is working at a weaponsmith we can ask him to make you a sword" The boy heard it but it seems like he doesn't really want to go.

"What's the matter? Didn't you like swords" The little boy nodded but still he still looks bothered about something?

"Master, I don't need a sword isn't that expensive, please don't bother about me please use the money for us to buy food" The little looked at him directly at the eyes while saying this.

"Izayoi if you didn't have a proper sword we won't be able to go hunting since the beast in the forest are fierce and you might get hurt" The little boy shakes his head.

He is helpless now, the little boy is now upset. If this goes on little Izayoi might not talk to him for a while.

"Izayoi, listen to master" when he said that the little boy then looked at him ready to listen though he still looks upset and you can see him pouting while his face is turning red.

"if we hunt today we might able to catch our own food and we might even have a huge haul since you are coming then, we can sell those so that we can have money for our food for the following days" he got the little boy's attention and he stopped pouting.

Though Izayoi is extremely adorable when he is upset, he still doesn't want him to say in that mood since the little boy is his young master even if the child no longer has what it should have.
