Japan; third part

"Let's go, I'm bored with seeing magic beasts," said Akira. "How can you be bored? Imagine if you met those beasts outside," said Henry, looking at Akira in surprise. Akira felt strange thinking about what Henry had said. "Now that you put it like that, it sounds like we're the ones living in the cage," said Akira. "Exactly, anyway, let's go. I want to see the Broomstick you told me about," said Henry. They went back to the village together.

Henry was wearing his black kimono, while Akira's kimono was gold. Akari was not only skilled in magic, he was also academically the best in his year. Akira's kimono was the one Mahutokoro had given him. Akira wore it with pride. Mahutokoro's reputation was unquestionable in Japan, and being the best student of the year was an achievement to be proud of. Akira led Henry to a minka with a huge cherry tree. "Susumu is the best broomstick maker in Japan. They also do customisation if you can afford it." Said Akira. "You said it was already expensive. How much do they sell them for with customisation?" Henry asked Akira. Akira averted his eyes and said, "You'd better see for yourself."

They entered the place together. The charm had enlarged the shop, and the inside was different from any other minka Henry had ever visited. While most of the other shops kept a simple design, this one was ostentatious. They displayed uniformly the broomsticks in separate glass display cases. Each of the broomsticks was different. Some in colour, some in the wood used, some in length. Henry likened it to the guitar shops he had visited.

"Welcome to Susuma. May I ask what kind of broomstick you are looking for?" asked a girl dressed in a red kimono with gold flower embroidery. Henry looked into her eyes for a second. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "We are looking for the fastest and most manoeuvrable broomstick," said Henry calmly. "You have come to the right address. Please follow me," the girl's eyes lit up.

They passed through the shop windows and moved towards the centre of the shop. In the middle of the shop, there was only one broomstick in a three metre square area. As they passed by that broomstick, Henry stopped. When the woman realised that Henry had stopped, she said, "The name of the broomstick is Sumi. You seem to be interested in it." "You can call me Henry. Yes, I am interested in Sumi. Why does it stand apart from the other broomsticks?" asked Henry.

"Sure, Henry. You can call me Hikari. As for Sumi, it's actually been three years since it was built, but unfortunately no one has used it yet," said Hikari, smiling at Henry. Akira was looking at Henry, surprised to hear what Henry said to Hikari. He was even more surprised when he heard what Hikari said to Henry and saw her smiling. Hikari was the daughter of Susumu's owner and was very famous in the neighbourhood. However, no one had ever seen her smile at anyone other than her father. "I don't understand. What do you mean, no one could use it?" Henry said as he looked at Hikari in surprise.

"Sumi is the result of my father's experiment. He wanted to make a broomstick for me, but when he poured an alchemy solution into the broomstick, it gained some consciousness. It wouldn't let anyone ride on it. We display it separately because it flies away when a broom is near it. Would you like to try it, Henry?" said Hikari, smiling at Henry.

Henry shook his head. Hikari took out her wand and cast a spell to make the display case with Sumi disappear. "Jarvis, I want it," Henry said in his mind. Henry didn't try to approach the broom, he just opened his palm and stretched his right hand forward. Meanwhile, Jarvis was matching the magic signature of the broomstick with Henry's with his magic pulse. Smiling, she began, "It will come like this- "but was interrupted by Hikari, who was shocked by what she saw.

Sumi came flying into Henry's hand. "I think your broomstick is mine, Hikari," Henry said with a smile. Hikari's eyes were shining brightly. She grabbed Henry's hand and dragged him outside. "You must fly now. We have not tested it since we made it. Dad says it should still be the fastest broomstick in the world," Hikari said excitedly as she ran. "Damned young masters," Akira muttered as he watched them go between the broomsticks. Hikari finally led them to the backyard of the shop. Finally, she let go of Henry's hand and said excitedly, "Come on, fly, come on!" Henry smiled and took the broomstick between his legs. The broomstick was jet black, even the bushes were black, only the ends were white. Its design reminded Henry of a firebolt. "Do you want to try it together? After all, it was made for you," Henry said to Hikari with a smile.

"Yes!" shouted Hikari, as she jumped up and down. Henry was watching her with a smile. Hikari immediately got on the back of Henry. "You seem to really like flying," said Henry. "Eve-aaaaaaay," Hikari screamed, immediately hugging Henry's waist. As she responded, Henry stomped his feet on the ground and quickly took off. They rose rapidly towards the sky. Hikari hugged Henry's waist so tightly that Henry could feel her hair on the back of his neck.

Hikari was a year older than Henry. Henry was a little taller than her, no more than five centimetres. Suddenly, Hikari pinched Henry's stomach. "You're so bad, I almost fell to the ground, and I'm a little slow- aaaaah" Henry was diving before Hikari could finish. "Hahahahahha, what did you say?" Henry said, laughing. Hikari smiled but continued to pinch Henry's stomach.

After flying for about ten minutes, they landed where Akira was waiting for them. Henry pulled out the broom between his legs, holding his stomach. Hikari got off the broom as soon as it touched the ground and was waiting for Henry. When Henry took the broomstick out from between his legs, Hikari immediately stepped on Henry's foot. "Ahhh, why did you step on my foot!" Henry was jumping while holding his foot. Hikari was smiling, watching with pleasure as Henry suffered. Akira started laughing, looking at them.

"What's going on here?" they all turned to the sound when they heard a deep male voice. Henry thought he heard Madara for a moment. Henry's heart almost dropped when he saw the man. The man not only sounded, but also looked like Madara Uchiha. "Dad won't believe it. I found Sumi's rider! And like you said, it really is the fastest broomstick you've ever made!" said Hikari, going over to her father and hugging him. Hiroshi looked at Henry and the broomstick floating beside him and smiled. Akirai's eyes lit up when he saw Hiroshi. Hiroshi was a highly respected man in Japan.

"Now that you've finally found your rider, we can analyse the broomstick," Hiroshi said, pulling a pink wand out of his sleeve and casting a spell. When Akira saw the wand, it almost made the light come out of his eyes. It was every Japanese wizard's dream to have a wand made of cherry wood. "I really outdid myself in Sumi," Hiroshi said, checking the scroll in his hand.

"It has a speed of 600 km/h and the best manoeuvrability I have ever seen" said Hiroshi, smiling as he read the paper, Hikari looking at Henry with a grin. "I think you got what you wanted, Henry. Come on, I want to put my name on it," said Hikari. When Hikari said that, Hiroshi, Akira and Henry looked at her in surprise. Hikari's cheeks flushed red, embarrassed. "What! It was my broomstick in the first place!" Hikari turned around and walked into the shop. "What are you waiting for, Henry? Come to me right now!" said Hikari.

Henry looked at Hiroshi, who he thought was the reincarnation of Madara, and then looked at Hikari's back. "I've already died twice. One more doesn't matter much," thought Henry, and followed Hikari. Step by step, Hiroshi watched Henry and Hikari until they entered the shop. If he could kill with his eyes, Henry would have died many times over. Finally, he turned around and looked at Akira, who stood still as a statue, with emotionless eyes. At that moment, Akira knew, he was fucked. "Damned young masters," Akira cried inside.
