He Will Be Born

We Can

"Ah, wait Benio! Before I go to sleep again... I will like to speak to you."

Benio looked up from where she was standing. He looked at Rokuro's face. His tone was normal but his face looked like he was serious.

"Are you go..ing to ask about... the ceremony?"

"Yes, I am. Wait now that I think about it, I should have asked Sayo if I passed while she was here! Dammit!"

Rokuro cursed himself but then looked at Benio.

"Benio, tell me then. Does it look like I passed?"

In that moment, there was a knock on Rokuro's door. Benio opened the door revealing Shimon and Sayo.

"I thought you were going to sleep Rokuro! You lied!"

"Sayo, thank goodness you came back. Now tell me, did I pass the test? Can I go to the island now?"

Everyone at the room stared at Sayo. There was a moment of silence until Sayo nodded with a smile.

"Yes you did Rokuro."

Rokuro jumped out of bed, so excited and happy. He took Benio's hand and moved them with his, up and down thanks to his excitement.

"Benio! Finally, finally we can go! We can go! Ah, that is until you take the test of course. You nervous?

"N-not.. at all. I mean,.. if you could pass it... of course I will pass it.. too."

As Benio said that, she gave off a smile. Rokuro slighyly turned pink and let go of Benio's hands.

"Y-yeah I'm sure.. you can after all. Of course you can."

They were both then interrupted by Sayo. Sayo couldn't stand the two of them flirting! Especially in front of her!

"Hey, hey Rokuro! Stop flirting with her!"

"I'm not flirting!"

"Hmph. Whatever I'm leaving. It's been two times today that I've been hurt by Rokuro. I'm going out! Alone!"

"Wait Sayo. At least take your escorts! Wait, Sayo!"

And again, Sayo left, but this time with Shimon who hurried off behind her.

"Hmm, I kinda want to go out too so we can celebrate... Oh well.."

"We can.. still celebrate.. here.. I can..bring ohagi.. if you like?"

Rokuro couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, yeah Benio. Ohagi will do."

After Benio brought two boxes of ohagi, they started eating away. Benio was of course extremely delighted.

"Hey, Benio. Tell me. What is the island like?"

"The isl..and. It's at times joyful but deep inside everyone is filled with worry.."

"Haha, I don't meant it like that Benio. Tell me about the surroundings. Or like where in the island is there located good stores. You see what I mean?"

"Ah, yeah... I get it.. Well..."

Like that, Benio talked to Rokuro about the island and all he needed to know about stores and transportation. This lasted for an hour or so until they noticed something completely off.

They ran, left everything behind and collected some enchantments.

"Magano gate open!"

As they stepped into Magano, they heard someone's familiar scream.

"Let's go Benio!"

Benio didn't need Rokuro to tell her to hurry up. In fact, she had already casted her enchantments and was off.

Rokuro then got to the place where Sayo's scream was heard. He scanned the area. Shimon was injured. Of course he was injured. He was fighting two basaras.

"You guys seriously piss me off! Do you know how important these next few days are gonna be! I need Sayo so she can perform the ceremony to Benio! So give her up now you fools!"

"Hehe, as if we would."

And like that, the battle with the two basaras Hijirimaru and Higano started.
