Dojo 1

"Nnnggh~"

"Hmm? What's this?"

Opening his eyes, Kimihito just woke up and could see something he didn't expect. In addition, his hands and face can also feel something soft. Unknowingly his hand moved faster than his mind and started squeezing 'that' soft thing.

"Nnngh~"

Just as Kimihito thought, suddenly he could hear the voice of someone he knew well, and it was Yuuna. Of course, he already knew what was the soft thing in front of his face and what he had just squeezed. Besides, if anyone looks closely, their sleeping position looks as if Kimihito is sucking Yuuna's breasts while she is still sleeping on his stomach on top of him.

Sensing Yuuna didn't seem to have woken up yet, Kimihito decided to quickly get out of his strange position slowly without waking her up, and if she did wake up, then he might be flown out of the room.

Having managed to get out of his strange sleeping position, Kimihito saw Yuuna, still fast asleep on his futon. He left her alone without disturbing her sleep. Still feeling a little sleepy, he decided to wash his face to look fresher and then started walking out of the room.

***

After washing his face, Kimihito immediately headed to the living room for breakfast. When he got there, he could see Sagiri seemed to be an early riser like himself, and there was also Chitose, who had just finished preparing breakfast.

"Morning Chitose-san, Sagiri."

"Morning too Kimihito-kun"

"Morning?"

When seeing Kimihito, Sagiri felt something different from before. Her ninja and female instincts told her, but she did not know what it was. In the end, she just chose to remain silent.

On the other hand, Kimihito also felt the look in Sagiri's eyes seem to be judging him at the moment. He just acted as usual, as if nothing was wrong. However, all he could do at this point was to keep his eyes closed and show a slight smile.

"Why did you close your eyes?" Sagiri suddenly asked in a suspicious tone. She feels like he's been keeping his eyes closed ever since.

Hearing such a question wasn't surprising Kimihito anymore because he had already prepared an excuse. "Ah! That… I'm training to be able to feel my surroundings without seeing."

"Really?! You do that kind of exercise?" She heard it was amazed.

For Sagiri, doing such training was difficult even though she was the best graduate of the Chuuma Ninja school. Apart from people who were born blind, she wasn't sure anyone could do that unless they tried hard and were consistent.

The five senses are systems in the human body to recognize, feel, and respond to what is around them. If one of the five senses is removed, the existing five senses will become unbalanced. For example, Kimihito, who closes his eyes, will increase his other senses. His hearing will be sharper, his smell will improve, his taste will increase, his touch will be more sensitive, and his instincts will increase significantly.

Actually, Kimihito had done that training before when he was still in the village, and that was why he could even feel Yuuna when he first came to Yuragi-sou. However, this time was different from his previous experience. Even though he had closed his eyes, he could still see as perfectly as when he opened them. There is no difference between seeing with his eyes open and with his eyes closed.

'Is it because of these eyes?' he thought, amazed by the power of the eyes he just got.

Meanwhile, Chitose wanted to chuckle beside the two of them when she heard Kimihito's reasoning. But she did his best to endure it because she didn't want to add to his troubles. And in the end, she just showed her warm smile.

"By the way, Kimihito-kun. Is there any particular reason for you to wake up so early?" Chitose asked, trying to create a new topic of conversation.

"Is it weird to wake up early? "

"No, it's just that it's rare since most residents of Yuragi-sou usually don't wake up earlier," Sagiri replied.

Kimihito suddenly remembered the residents of Yuragi-sou. He recalled Nonko, a young woman who was almost impossible to wake up early. Yaya, a girl who liked to sleep in warm places. Yuuna, who might still be able to wake up early. Three girls, especially the first and second, could be the cause of getting up late to make sense to the residents of Yuragi-sou.

As for Sagiri herself, she is getting up this early because of her training routine. Because she is a Chuuma Ninja, she didn't want her skills to be dull because she rarely practiced, and the best time to do it was in the morning. Therefore, she had to get up early to not miss her training.

"Is that so? I just wanted to go to the dojo this morning."

"Dojo?" X2

Hearing the 'Dojo' word took them both by surprise. They did not expect Kimihito was a martial artist. Their presumption mostly came because they knew that he also had a good build, so it was highly likely he was indeed a martial artist.

Seeing their surprised expressions made him confused. 'Is it weird to practice martial arts?' He thought.

"What wrong, Kimihito-kun?" Asked Chitose when she saw his confused expression.

" No, it's just... Is it weird for someone to go to the dojo?"

"There's nothing strange about that. It's just, we just didn't expect you to be a martial artist."

"Right, that surprised me." Added Sagiri.

"But this is my first time going to a dojo."

"Eh?" X2

"You mean..."

"I was planning on enrolling into a dojo."

"..."

"Ah, I see... Ahaha~"

"Have you decided where?" Chitose asked.

After hearing Chitose's question, Kimihito immediately reached into his pocket for the pamphlet he had found yesterday. He also gave it to Chitose, hoping she might know by the dojo written there because it happened to be still in the Tokyo Youkai area.

"Th-this… Are you sure, Kimihito-kun?" Chitose asked in surprise after reading the contents of the pamphlet.

Of course, Kimihito became curious after hearing Chitose ask him suddenly. "What wrong, Chitose-san? Do you know something?"

"Um, I know that dojo, and that's also the best dojo ever."

"That was then, and it's different now."

"Is there a problem there?" Asked Sagiri curiously. Listening to the conversation between the two of them made Sagiri curious.

"There's a bad story about the dojo. Do you want to hear it?"

Kimihito then looked at Sagiri, and she also looked at him, then they both nodded in agreement.

"In the past, this dojo was famous. Apart from the strong martial arts tradition, the popularity of the dojo master also made it more well-known to many people."

"But one day, there was a disciple there who rebelled. The disciple went rampage and beat all the other disciple who was there, sending them all to the hospital."

"Seeing what one of his disciples did make the master of the dojo take him out of there."

"But after that incident, no more disciple returned to practice martial art at the dojo because they were already traumatized by what they experienced there."

"The popularity of the dojo, which is already known to many people, has actually backfired, destroying the dojo's reputation immediately after the incident. Now, people are afraid to join there after hearing the tragic story."

After hearing Chitose's story, they were speechless. Especially Kimihito, he didn't expect the dojo he would choose to have such a tragic story. He just happened to find the dojo pamphlet.

"Do you still want to go there, Kimihito-kun?"

"Of course." He answered with a smile.

Kimihito didn't care about the story from the dojo. His intention to enroll there didn't change even after hearing the story. It was similar to when he chose to stay in Yuragi-sou and ignored the horror stories. Therefore, he would still go to that dojo and ignore the terrible incident story there.

***

After they finished their breakfast, Kimihito decided to go to the dojo address on the pamphlet immediately. However, he didn't go alone. Sagiri is currently also going with him. Not because she wanted to go to the dojo with him, but because she is going to school, and coincidentally the road to the dojo he wanted to go to was the same as the school she wanted to go to.

"Let's go first."

" Be careful on the way," Chitose said while waving his hand.

Kimihito and Sagiri started to slowly walk away from Yuragi-sou. Even though they already know each other and are now walking alone, but...

Silence~

This was the first time Sagiri walked to school with a man, and she didn't know what to say. However, she knew she felt her current state was awkward. Honestly, she felt that overcoming her current awkward feelings was much more difficult than completing her ninja missions.

"By the way, Sagiri. Does your school also a ninja school?" Kimihito knew things were a little awkward now because they didn't talk at all and just walked. So he tried to make the atmosphere better by starting a conversation with her.

"Of course not, I used to attend the Chuuma Ninja village special school, but now I've transferred to a mixed school."

"Mixed school?"

"Um, that a mixed school of all kinds of races."

Talking about school, Kimihito was reminded of his old school days. But when he was at his old school, he had few friends. Not because he couldn't make friends, but because of a few students at his old school.

It didn't feel like walking while chatting made them arrive at the school where Sagiri studied.

"Then Sagiri, I'll continue first." He said, continuing his way to the dojo.

"Um."

After seeing Kimihito walking away, Sagiri started walking towards the school gate. But before passing through the gate, she heard the voice of someone she knew.

"Huhu~ Who is that man, Sagiri? Your boyfriend?"

"U-Urara! W-what are you talking about?!"

Seeing the strange thing that happened to her friend, Urara complained. "You don't usually get close to a guy..."

Sagiri and her friend Urara walked into the school while she kept asking Sagiri. There were quite a few things Urara asked Sagiri as if she was interrogating her. But as a close friend, it was all to tease Sagiri.
