I Am NOT A Hero

Chapter 31: Must've been the wind

Herumi walks on the stone path all while whistling peacefully, heading towards his newly joined sect. He would train there like he did before and nothing more...though a little treat of the old man Tang would be good too.

But uhh...

He was...

"HERUMI!" a cheerful voice of a woman, shouted at him as he blinked in wonder, his expression hardly changed, though his shoulder did slightly slump, his guts twisted, saying he would probably...have another business to attend to.

So let me finish my sentence earlier....

Who are you? Is what Herumi wanted to say but was stopped once another figure stepped in.

Herumi turned around and his sights were welcomed by two individuals.

"Herumi" the voice was calm but stern, Herumi's eyes slightly widened in realization, tall and *cough* too much-exposed skin in her outfit –Herumi silently questioned it himself—and the sharp eagle-like eyes, stared into his sapphire orb.

He can't help but shudder under those intense gazes of hers.

And the one beside her was another shorter woman in height, grinning ear to ear...someone he didn't know yet.

'Master Guan Yu?' He thought, then asking, "Do you need--"

"HERUMI!" without warning, the shorter woman leaped on him and Herumi felt his neck wrapped by her muscular arm, pulling him closer to her...body.

And his face mashed against her...

'Boobs...' Herumi grimaced, trying to get away but her hold was too strong.

"Wha-"

"Now say! Where the hell have you been for the past two days ?!"

"Huh?"

"Don't 'huh' me! your mother has been looking and worried over you! She even asked us to find you!"

Herumi found a loose on her grip, and slipped away as he took a step back, confusion and a flustered look on his face, "Who are you?"

Almost immediately the woman who had him in a head-locked blinked with a crestfallen and shocked expression on her face.

"A-are you forgot about me ~ ?" she asked with wide eyes, before falling on her knees dramatically, touching where her heart reside as if she was hurt by the arrow that was his words.

"My l-little brother...had forgotten...me!"

Herumi sweats a little as her expression turns heartbroken. He tried reaching out but hesitated while trying to recall who she was. "I don't..."

In the past, Herumi always liked to watch his master training and became Master Liu Bei's assistant –he volunteered himself – and there were quite a lot of people she had been training with. He had acquainted with some of them but even then; he didn't quite remember their name due to his, focus on preparing his master's needs.

Master Guan Yu is here and she is one of the war maidens, he knows because technically he had met her before, putting his master to safety on the tide...and the aura she radiated was also, the aura of a veteran warrior...which meant she is a war maiden.

But he's going to pretend that he doesn't know her as well.

'but who--'

"Zhang Fei, we need to go as soon as possible, please cease your act," the other woman calmly addressed her, her eyes fixed on Herumi still...

"But sister!" protested the shorter woman, her eyes comically glassing as if she would burst out into tears at any moment, "Our bun! Don't remember us! Don't you know how betrayed I feel?!"
