Missing among Shadows Kurai yoru no kage

Chapter 3

After a few minutes of walking, Kurayaits broke the silence with a barely audible voice, "Follow me." Sensing the urgency in Kurayaits's voice, Azuki replied with a hint of annoyance, "Fine, lead the way."They walked past many closed shops and houses, giving the impression that the town was deserted. However, as they continued to walk, they eventually arrived at a traditional Japanese mansion surrounded by a stunning garden filled with cherry blossom trees. The petals of the flowers were falling like snowflakes, and the sight was breathtaking.Kurayaits and Azuki walked through the serene streets of a small Japanese town, the sound of their footsteps echoing in the stillness of the day. The only interruption to the quietness was the rustling of leaves in the wind, creating an atmosphere of calmness. they drew nearer to the mansion, they heard the distinct sound of people training with different weapons. The sound of metal clashing and arrows whizzing through the air filled the space around them, creating an atmosphere of discipline and precision. The people in black uniforms with silver trimmings were "Hunter of Shadows," and they were training intently. Most of them were men, but there were a few women among them, all displaying impressive skill.Kurayaits turned to Azuki and said, "We have arrived at the Hunter of Shadows training grounds. This is where we will prepare for the battle against the shadows." Azuki looked around, taking in the sight before her. She was awestruck by the level of commitment and dedication displayed by the shadow hunters in their training. Sensing Azuki's amazement, Kurayaits quickly took off his cloak, revealing his Shadow Hunter uniform. It was a custom version of the traditional uniform designed specifically for him. Unlike the traditional uniform, Kurayaits's uniform had no sleeves, which allowed him to show off his muscular arms. The black fabric of his uniform was adorned with silver threads that glinted in the sunlight.Azuki shook her head, "Are you trying to show off? Because you just look stupid." Kurayaits was taken aback by Azuki's comment, but he composed himself and quickly clarified, "No, it's not about showing off. This is just the way my uniform was designed. Besides, I use a spear, so having sleeves would only get in the way and potentially cause me harm." Kurayaits's explanation seemed to make sense to Azuki, who nodded in agreement.Kurayaits looked at Azuki and said with a hint of sass in his voice, "So, do you believe me now?" Azuki, on the other hand, stared back with a blank expression and simply responded with a straightforward "no," indicating that she was not convinced by Kurayaits' argument.

After all he was known for being a good-for-nothing show off its stupid!!
