Tengu's Wrath

"I'm Kujou Sara" The young woman presented herself "And who should you be? I have never seen you around here.

'Kujou Sara? If I'm not wrong she was one of the characters in the future version 2.0. She must be quite important.'

"I'm Allen. I came here with Niwa Tomoki. I don't really know why." Allen answered

"Ah, you came with Niwa-san. No wonder I thought that you were too young to be part of the police or military." Sara stated "In the future, you might join us, I will look forward to having another marksman companion. There's very little around here, most opting for spears or swords."

"Marksman?" Allen said looking at the bow at his hand "I don't think that I have what it needs to become a good one."

"You are young and passionate, plus you seem to enjoy using the bow. I'm sure that in the future, you will become a great bowman." Sara tried to encourage him.

'Great? I don't think that being great would be enough for my objectives.'

Looking at Allen's doubtful face, Sara made a decided one "Look, archers have a great ability that can really change the flow of a battle."

She took out her own bow and with great speed and precision, she shot 4 arrows in less than 2 seconds.

"Pam!" "Pam!" "Pam!" "Pam!" The arrows pierced over the center of the board, the first one piercing over Allen's last arrow and each one piercing over the previous ones. She showed great precision, all the arrows hitting the same point.

"See?" Sara said proudly "I'm sure that if you train enough, you can even reach this level. You can become a great bowman." She encouraged looking at Allen's indecision "I will even teach you the fundamen-"

"So you were hiding here." Cutting Sara's words, Tomoki appeared behind here. "I was looking for you."

"N-niwa-san?!" Sara jumped in shock and flushed as she turned around seeing Tomoki.

"It's not little Sara, long time not seeing you" Tomoki smiled "And what's that Niwa-san? We were close enough to call ourselves by our names. I still remember that time when you used to follow me around everywhere."

"That was when I was young. I've grown from that time!" She tried to defend herself.

"Yes. You truly had grown taller and more beautiful." Tomoki said with a smile, causing Sara's face to turn deep red, avoiding his gaze.

"Y-you!"

"So, what were you doing? Did you try to make Allen an archer, Sara?" Tomoki asked.

With the change of subject, Sara calmed herself, recovering and turning again toward Tomoki. "Allen has great eyesight and instinct. I'm sure that he can become a great archer."

"What a pity! I'm the one teaching him, so of course, he would become a swordsman" Tomoki said with a mockery smile, trying to piss Sara off.

"Not everyone needs to be like you, sword nerd!" Sara shouted "There are more things than swords."

"Yes there are more things, but none that can surpass it" Tomoki said proudly.

Sara turned towards Allen "Do not follow blindly him, this freak or you will end like him. Abandoning and leaving all behind following an impossible dream."

"It's my own life and I live it as I like!" Tomoki defended it.

"Yes, but you shouldn't forget about the people that lo-" Sara blushed "that cares for you, leaving them only leaving a note behind!" She said angrily.

'It seems that this is going to another direction, throwing pass feelings in it' Allen thought seen the two argue as an old couple 'Should I stop them?'

"Th-that's how" Tomoki seemed unsure, becoming nervous. Seeing him, Allen decided to step.

"Sorry, Sara. But as Tomoki says, I sought to become a swordmaster. I think that I'm more talented with it."

Sara turned to Allen and calmed down "You must have been brainwashed by that sword freak. There are other ways, you don't need to follow him."

"How wrong you are, Sara" Tomoki said smiling "Allen here has immense talent with the sword. Given enough time, I'm sure that he will surpass me. And who knows, he might be able to best the Shogun herself."

"Don't even joke about that" Sara looked coldly at Tomoki "The Shogun's sword is supreme."

"We will see it" Both of them glared at each other, sparks clashing between them.

"Tomoki, it's becoming late. Shouldn't be start moving" Allen said tugging his robes.

"Yes, you are right, Allen" Tomoki nodded and took Allen's hand, turning around "Bye, Sara. Let's see each other another time!"

"Are you going to run away again?!" Sara shouted angrily as she was about to follow them, however, the spectacle seemed to have reunited a group soldiers that looked attentively at them. Seeing them, Sara clenched her hands and decide to keep her pride, returning to the manor.

"You owe me one" Allen said to Tomoki.

"You!" Tomoki said a little angry before sighed "Are you really a 10 years child?"

"People say that I'm quite grow for my age" Allen answered calmly.

"I sometimes forget that you have been taught by Pantalone. That monster" Tomoki scorned "Thanks for the save."

"You're welcome, but women don't forget. You shall face her sometime in the future." Allen advised.

"Let's leave it to the future Tomoki" Tomoki said with a smile "Let's go to our next destination."

...

They quickly left the city, taking a carriage towards the north-east until they arrived at a big estate, with a big manor surrounded by tall walls.

Entering the estate, Allen looked very attentively at the surroundings. There was a very big garden, incredibly well organized that seemed more like art, making you worry about even stepping on it for fright to damage it.

Similar to the Tenryo headquarters, the state was surrounded by guards and servants, but Allen could find a big difference. The people's faces and expressions were all too forces and hard, like if they have something weighing down, creating an aura of melancholy.

It was the same for Tomoki whose face turned downward seeing the state of the people.

"Something happened?" Allen whispered curiously at Tomoki.

"It's not time now" Tomoki answered "I will explain it to you later."

"Hey, it's not Tomoki?" From inside the estate, a boy about 16 surged. He had green eyes and blond unruly hair.

"Hello, Thoma" Tomoki and Thoma high-fived with a smile. Allen could feel that it wasn't forced at all and they were truly friends.

"Did you come to meet Ayato?" Thoma asked "He really needs to take a rest" He sighed worriedly.

"Sorry, but I came for work" Tomoki said signaling at Allen. "It's Asahi available."

"The Lord's health is becoming worse, but he said that he wanted to talk with you. I will prepare, follow me." Thoma said guiding them inside the estate.

"Allen, there won't be any problem here, so it will be short. Wait for me here." Tomoki said leaving with Thoma.

"So I'm also left alone this time" Allen sighed 'I would rather go with him and learn more about Inazuma's situation. It would be quite helpful for future actions.'

Allen started walking over the garden's state, feeling the heavy pressure that seemed to the point of boiling, made it difficult to ask anyone about it, especially when he was someone unknown.

"Clank!" "Clank!" As he was walking, Allen was attracted by repeated sounds.

"Wood against wood" Following the sound, Allen reached at an open area inside the estate. In it, there was a little girl wielding a wooden sword, hitting a wooden scarecrow with it.

A cute little girl about Allen's age or a little younger, with long pale white-blue hair tied in a high ponytail who was wearing a simple blue hakama that didn't disturb her movements.

Last chapter of the week.

Short chapter today and there might be some repetition or wronging with it.

Telling the truth, I had it already written and I don't even know why it was eliminated, needing to write it again. And it really tedious to write again a chapter, so it would reflect in my writing. Sorry for that.

So for people asking, no. Allen-Sara won't be a shipping and there would be other romance than the mc, in the end, the mc is not the full world.

Also. The next chapter is already written. If by the end of the week I reach 200 powerstone, I will post it.

Thanks for the comment and support and good reading.
