Book Three: Chapter Eight: Megumi's Speaks

Last time, Shiki taught Megumi. Later the next day, Minori was curious again about Megumi's past. Megumi was in her dojo, sharping her sword. Hey Megumi, what are you doing? Minori asked. Don't creep up behind like that. Megumi replied. I'm just curious about why Yumi's father was taunting you? You usually have comeback. Minori replied. That man helped Sophia's vote to arrest me in my teenage years. He did this out of hate for my mother. Megumi replied. Your mother? Minori asked. I will tell everyone the story. I called everyone to come over. Megumi replied. Soon as everyone came, they were worried about the call. Megumi are you ok? I asked. I am fine Haru. Megumi replied. Sorry about what my dad said. Yumi replied. It's ok Yumibear, I am not mad. He's always been a thorn in my side. Megumi replied. Hey Megumi, is this about your sentencing? Ichiko asked. Your mother told you? Megumi asked. She said it's classified information that no one in the public should know about. Ichiko replied. So your mom is strict as ever, Ichiko. Megumi replied. No kidding. Ichiko replied. Your mother voted for my sentencing and the method of choice. Megumi replied. My mom did that? Ichiko asked. Your mom is one of the last judges. Megumi replied. I told her. "You can strip me down and whip me. I will not waver anymore. Your own offsprings will rebel against you." She didn't take my words to heart. She laughed and said these very words to me. I never forget it. "You dare threaten me? You're nothing more than the child of a lady of night. You have no true value in this world." After that, she had me publicly shamed and beaten for all to see. Megumi replied. My mom said that to you? Ichiko asked. Yup, that's why I don't like those ten. They look down on people like you and I. Megumi replied. Wait, we can't go against the ten. Emma replied. We aren't those people of the church are their bodyguards. We are going after them. Megumi replied. We are? Yoshi asked. I want to see what they're made of. Natsumi replied. Why want to engage in fighting all the time? Yoshi asked. Fighting is entertaining, Yoshi. Natsumi replied. I will agree with that. Minori replied. Not you too. Emma replied. You deal with a fiery head too? Yoshi asked. Yeah, ever since we were adopted. He always got into everything and I would constantly sigh. Emma replied. I'm so sorry for you. Yoshi replied. I don't have to live under the same roof, so he's his family's problem. Emma replied. Other than the slander we're receiving. Who is next? Minori asked. She's possesses Sylph Magic. Megumi replied. What did you just say? Emma asked. Oh hell, she is a problem. If it's her, those other three are with her. Minori replied. Even though Bahari uses a type of Avaritia Magic. Her magic is an ancient type of magic. It's called Sylph Wind Magic. Emma replied. If we're not careful, those four could take care of us with ease. Minori replied. So the new user of Sylph is a woman? Megumi asked. I could not care less. Barachiel is over those seven. I am not letting him run around as he wishes. I replied. Don't tell me. Yumi replied. He is going to do it. I replied. So we're definitely going to keep our defenses up. Ichiko replied. We need to get stronger. I replied. So it's that "ritual" again? Megumi asked. What ritual? Minori asked. Stay Tuned.
