"After Canoe's question about Iwaru Hisoko, Manhiro and Han briefly reminisced."
Sir, why did you lie to your son about Iwaru's death? Khan asked.
You know, Khan, it's a wonderful legend now. Let it stay that way. I can't tell him that his friend's father actually died because he wanted to betray the clan. This would probably be a major blow to their friendship. Manhiro said softly, settling himself more comfortably in his chair.
If my memory serves me correctly, Ivaru wanted to defect to the Samurai clan and was going to kill Lee, who was still alive at that time. Khan recalled the course of events at that time.
That's right, but fortunately Mr. Uchiro understood everything in time and talked to Ivaru, after which Ivaru Hisoko killed one of the leaders of the Samurai clan and committed suicide, before asking to provide for his children. – also remembering the past, Manhiro said.
Still, he was a man of honor..." the Khan remarked.
Yes, I suppose so. Manhiro agreed.
"After talking to Canoe, Kai returned home."
After dinner, Kai sat down to play a game console, and Miku started washing dishes. They rarely talked about the past, trying not to recall painful events and moments of loneliness, but sometimes this topic came up as if by itself.
Do you remember Mom? Miku asked when she finished with the dishes and sat down next to Kai.
To be honest, I don't remember much about her. For some reason, she did not like to be photographed, and therefore I almost completely forgot even her appearance. If I'm not mistaken, she had brown eyes and short dark hair. – Kai said, without distracting himself from the game.
That's not bad. At least a little, but you remember her, I don't remember anything, eh. – Miku whispered softly.
Well, don't be sad, we've already discussed this many times, besides, my birthday is coming soon, so think about the good things and the gift you want to give. Kai said with a smile.
Miku looked at the calendar and was surprised when she realized that it was already September 24th.
I really mean, you'll be 18 in a week. You'll be all grown up. Miku said with a kind smile.
Yeah, and there are exams and that's it, adult life. – Kai said with the same smile.
Who will you invite? Miku asked.
Let me think about it.… Probably a couple of people from my class, with whom I communicate well, from the student council, too, a couple, I'll invite them, well, that's about it. – Kai answered after a bit of thought.
Then I'll cook my best dishes and order delivery. Miku added sarcastically.
Yes, that's what we'll do. – Kai agreed with a smile.
Let's invite Izushi. Miku suggested.
Is this the girl who became your second-in-command? Kai asked.
Yeah, you've seen her, remember? Miku was surprised.
No, it's just that we've only met a couple of times, and that's why I don't know her name. – Kai explained, having lost another round in the game.
Her name is Izushi. Izushi Sakayuki, she's studying in my parallel. Miku said.
I think her face looked familiar to me. She often sits next to her friend Canoe, at least in the dining room she often caught her eye.
A friend? Which is Marie? Miku asked.
Yes, that's the one. It's getting late, I have to go to bed. – Kai said, turning off the console.
Wow, it's already 12. It's really late. Good night to you. Miku said, going to her room.
Yeah, good night. – Kai replied, preparing the sofa for sleep.
