Ch 2 (English Version)

On a beautiful sunny morning somewhere on Wanokuni island there is a clan that is isolated and no one knows, yes it is the Date clan.

"MASAMUNE." shouted an old man with anger in his tone and veins showing in his head.

"Master you must calm down." Said a woman next to him with a worried look on her face.

"HOW CAN I COOL HE HUNTS WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND HE FIGHTS THAT GIANT ALSO HOW CAN I CALM, HA!" shouted the old man with anger and worry on his face.

"Calm down, our child will know what he's up against if he can defeat the giant beast, that means our child is getting stronger right." Said a woman sitting next to the old man who was screaming earlier.

"Well, but you have a point that he's reckless enough to hunt without telling us, Mizu you can call him here." The woman said with a smile on her face but even so there was an aura of anger that was quite strong which made the woman and the old man or her husband scared.

"Y-yes Yoshihime-sama. (I hope you're okay Masamune-sama)" Mizu who was a waitress there replied in a frightened tone and prayed for Masamune's safety.

.....

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH HEEEEEEELLLPPP." There was a loud voice of misery in a house that was quite spacious but looked simple.

"KOUJURO HEELLPP." Masamune shouted with a scared face and seen behind him there was a dem- (swing) uh what do you mean by a beautiful woman carrying a long katana, yes you could say that what is called forgot hmmmm oiya naginata as I remember if I'm wrong please correct it.

"Masamune you should be punished you didn't come after your parents called you, and you went to the forest without our knowledge, not only that you asked Koujuro for help, you should be able to take care of your own problems you know that." Said his mother Masamune (Yoshihime) in a soft tone and with his typical milf, yep, "ara-ara." Masamune's mother continued (Yoshihime)

But unfortunately, unlike onee-san2 in anime slice of life or comedy and romance, he carries a tool that can kill someone, similar to a naginata by holding it with both hands.

"I'M SORRY BUT COULD I NOT, MOM CHASING ME WITH THAT DANGEROUS ITEMS IN YOUR HAND, IT COULD KILL ME YOU KNOW." Masamune said in frustration and it seemed that his body and breath had reached its limit and the tears that were flowing in his eyes showed deep fear.

"Fufufufu." Yoshihime laughed with a smile that looked gentle in the eyes of ordinary people but in Masamune's eyes he saw a terrible devilish laugh.

"NOOOOOO."

A minute later Masamune was caught by his mother for tripping.

.....

After the torture, sorry for the punishment.

"AAAHHHH I'M FINALLY OUT OF HELL." Masamune shouted with the deep relief and freedom felt by humans coming out of the wall.

"Masamune-sama you don't have to be that relaxed, you're only given a spiritual shower for a few hours." Koujuro said in an even tone as if he saw the behavior of a child.

"I'd rather be punished with 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10km run for a week, it can increase my strength and my muscles." Masamune said in a rebellious tone and complained like a child.

"Hah, you muscle brains." Koujuro mocked at Masamune's words.

"Noisy." Masamune replied with an angry face.

.....

"Hahahahaha." Masamune laughed.

"Hmp hmp hmp hmp." Koujuro laughed.

"Hey Koujuro." Call Masamune.

"Hmm?" Koujuro's response.

"I wish we could always be like this." Masamune said expressing his heart.

"Hah, Masa-" Koujuro said but was cut off by Masamune before finishing.

"I know we can't go on like this." Continue Masamune

"Time will pass, and when I grow up I will be the head of the clan but somehow I don't want to leave this childhood." Masamune's words brought out the deepest contents of his heart.

"It doesn't matter about age, what matters is your attitude in the future." Koujuro said in a small tone.

"Huh, did you say something?" Asked Masamune who didn't really hear what Koujuro said.

"There is not any." Koujuro answered about Masamune's question.

"Huh?" said a confused Masamune and started cleaning his ears with his little finger.

"Oya, you said you wanted this to keep happening, that means you want to be given spiritual showers by ojou-sama constantly ka." Said Koujuro who was trying to change the subject with a small smile on his face.

"E-except that." Masamune said about Koujuro's opinion about his words earlier with a scared and traumatized face while remembering the incident earlier.

"Ha ha ha ha." Koujuro laughed hearing what Masamune said.

"Hee, you can actually laugh too." Said Masamune who was trying to mock Koujuro.

"Oh, shit." Said Koujuro who seemed to have remembered something important.

"What is it?" Masamune asked curiously.

"I forgot to do the homework from master." Koujuro said with a frightened face because he didn't want to break his record as the most diligent student.

"HAH?!" Masamune's response to what Koujuro said.

"WE HAVE A HOME WORK?!" Masamune is surprised, even though Masamune looks like a stupid person but actually he is a smart kid and has a very thin brain when it comes to leadership, but unfortunately he has a lazy and forgetful attitude, so many think he is a fool.

But even though Masamune was thought of as a fool by all the clan members, but all the Date clan members from the nobles and supporters respected him greatly not because he was the successor of the date clan but he was someone who was able to lift everyone's spirits.

When the Date clan was attacked by pirates who at that time were one of the strongest pirates, they almost killed the Date clan, but with the sword technique passed down from the Date clan, namely the Lightning Moon Technique and the help of the Wanokuni ruler at that time, they were able to fight back. the pirates and made them escape with only 1/4 of the members remaining.

With such a great victory there must have been a price for that victory, when the date clan members were free from the pirates that had plundered them they didn't have time to have fun with the victory, they had to hold a mass funeral about the death of the date clan member who was almost halfway through. Clan members whether it's women, men, warriors, members of the nobility and support members leave their families.

When the clan members mourned by lowering their heads and showing tears of loss of the most precious person in their life no one had the spirit to move forward, and that's when Masamune stepped forward in front of all the clan members who bowed their heads he stepped forward by showing a stern face by bringing a sake and placing it in the middle of the grave and putting all the sake glasses in all the respective graves then filling it full and of course with the help of Koujuro who had a sad face that was forced to be firm.

"I'm not worthy to say this however, I Masamune Date as the heir of the date clan respect you from the bottom of my heart." Masamune's voice sounded loud as if to say it was the sincere words of a leader who said that he was proud to have them as members.

After saying that he started to kneel and bow which was a rare thing for anyone let alone a leader's son but he did it without any shame or fear.

Because of what Masamune did the clan members behind Masamune were shocked by what he did, even his parents wanted to approach him to reprimand him, but before that happened Masamune continued his speech.

"I promise not to forget what you have done, I will make the date clan a clan that the world fears, not even the world's governments will be able to control us."

.....

Everyone was silent, no one expected that Masamune would say something like that to bring the world government that ruled the world for years, but Masamune had not finished he stood up and turned to face his clan members.

"Are you now lowering your heads?" Masamune asked everyone which made them lift their heads slightly, even Koujuro who was initially sad and lowered his head raised his head to look at Masamune which took him by surprise.

"How long are you all going to keep your heads down?" Masamune asked in a quite annoyed tone, which made them raise their heads to look at Masamune with his big red eyes swollen with tears remaining on the sides of his eyes but showing his stern and brave face in front of all of them.

Seeing this took them by surprise, they didn't know that Masamune who was still a child was showing such a face.

"If you are sad why do you lower your head, if you are sad then look up at the sky and remember them with the happy memories you spent together and say goodbye to them, don't you see the sky above us is cloudy like someone who endures pain them, don't you remember what they went through, they fought hard to the death to free our clan but what they got, they got their way by seeing their friends, family, clans bow their heads down all of them."

"It's fine to bow your head to them but how long? hours? days? or even years?"

"If that's the case we will only make this leaving garden full and those who fight for us will feel like a failure to protect this clan, if you feel sad and grieving then let it pass because we can't resurrect those who are dead, but we can repay their struggle with our enthusiasm not to make the same mistake."

"With this incident we can learn that the world we live in is very cruel, the strong prey on the weak, therefore what we can do is make this clan strong and even make everyone afraid to hear the name of the Date clan so that no one needs to fill the garden of departure. this for years."

"I Masamune of the Date clan promise to continue their spirit without stopping, for the sake of the Date clan."

...

Hearing Masamune's speech, everyone had a new spirit of advancing the clan for the better, and not being sad.

As it all cheered with renewed vigor and the rise of the new Date clan, all cheered with joy but not joy but admiration by raising their heads to see the blue sky not black clouds covering it but beautiful pure white clouds.

Seeing this Terumune had a small smile on his face with a satisfied and proud expression about his son who now looked like a great leader, however…..

Terumine said in a small tone

"You are indeed great Masamune has known the truth of the world from childhood and knows how to deal with the masses and your followers, as expected of my son."

"But you still don't know the truth."

"Koujuro I leave that to you, as Masamune's best friend."

.....

Seeing Masamune starting to panic, Koujuro who saw him couldn't help but sigh about this trait, but it was his duty not to be his destiny to be the one to witness it from the front stage to see this story.

"Hah, well I'll help you then." Koujuro said with a sigh followed by a faint smile on his face.

"Ehh, this is the third time you've smiled today you usually don't show it." Masamune said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"I changed my mind you did it yourself." Koujuro said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Eh." Masamune was surprised

Without waiting Koujuro walked past Masamune with a face that looked a bit annoyed because of that.

"Ok ok ok ok, sorry I'm sorry please please help me please." Masamune said for his apology and resigned.

Koujuro stopped then turned his back to look at Masamune.

"Hah, come on." Koujuro said with a sigh.

Seeing this Masamune smiled widely and ran after Koujuro.

But Koujuro said so small that Masamune didn't hear him.

"Okay Terumune-sama, I'll take care of it."
