Taishi-sama and the Noh Player Chapter 6 : Seiga's Revenge

Continuation from the previous chapter.
Futo: Ah, Kokoro. I would like to apologize for my behaviour yesterday and today. It was all Seiga's order, and I was forced to.
Kokoro: It's fine. I understand anyway, you don't have to be like this.
Futo: Thank you! What a total relief. Then would you like to be friends?
Kokoro: Of course! I'd like to.
Futo: Oh, and you two would make a great lovers~!
Kokoro: Sh--Shut up!!
Miko: *chuckles*

Futo leaves the room.
Kokoro: Geez! What was she thinking??
Miko: Well, I think she could not be wrong...
Kokoro: Wh-What do you m-mean...?

Miko leans closer to Kokoro. He touched her cheek with his palm hand.
Miko: You know exactly what I mean, Kokoro.

*kiss!*

The next day, Miko found Kokoro talking to Futo. He joined the conversation to know what's going on.
Miko: Hey.
Kokoro: Oh, hi! Were you looking for me? Sorry.
Miko: Not really. What are you two talking about?
Futo: Not much. I was kind of thinking to find a soulmate myself.
Miko: My, really? Then why not Umako?
Futo: Umako?
Miko: Yes. He is my friend, so I suggest you talk to him and gain his friendship.
Futo: Wow, really? Thanks for the idea! I'll find him today.
Miko: Do not get hasty though. He is a quiet one, so he might be not right. After all, I was just suggesting.
Futo: Well, I take your suggestion and I appreciate it a lot, Tais- I mean Miko.
Miko: ...
Kokoro: Well then, go! We'll be waiting.
Futo: Alright!

Futo leaves the two. Meanwhile, with Seiga and her servant Yoshika.
Seiga: Futo is truly a traitor! Unfaithful one, I need to take my revenge. Yoshika, try to locate the Mononobe family and Futo herself. I'm going to use my Fantasy Sprite to gain other information. After that, meet me back at my room.
Yoshika: Rrr... right...!!

Yoshika leaves Seiga to do the exact order from Seiga.

Seiga: Just wait and see, you two. Miko and his family will be under my control...

Yoshika found Futo talking to Soga no Umako from the Soga clan. Yoshika spies them to listen to their conversation. Yoshika was one of the most informed students, so she knew about the war between the Mononobe and the Soga. Yoshika is actually quite surprised.
Futo: Thanks! I had fun talking. Let's talk again sometime.
Umako: Same. Why not this evening in the school park?
Futo: Sounds good!
Umako: Alright. See you then.
Futo: See ya! Gee, he was so kind...
Yoshika: Hee...hehe...Lady Seiga... would be happy... too...!!

Yoshika leaves and locates the Mononobe family's castle next. Night arrives, Yoshika came to Seiga as promised.
Seiga: Ah! Yoshika, my cute underling, tell me what you have found~.
Yoshika: *explanation*
Seiga: Hmm... I see. It seems she was not aware of this. Perfect! I could use this. Thank you, Yoshika. You wait here, I'll be back.

The next few days, Kokoro and Miko kept the support for Futo and Umako. They both gained a huge relationship. During holidays, Umako decides to propose Futo and she gladly accepted. Futo wants an agreement from her family, so she decided to visit her family today. She also invited Miko and Kokoro. Seiga and Yoshika are aware of Kokoro and Futo's friendship, and so they waited 'till the chaos happened.

Futo: So? Whadd'ya say?
Kokoro: Sure! I wanted to see your family and introduced myself to them.
Futo: Hehe... I'm sure they'll like ya too!
Miko: Well, I am going as well. I need to keep Kokoro safe.
Futo: Heheehe...~
Kokoro: H-hey!!

Seiga: Good. I could use this as my material. Yoshika, spy on them and make sure they face war.
Yoshika: Sss...Yeessss...

The three made it to the sea to cross so they can go to the Mononobe's castle.
Kokoro: So, how are we going to cross this big sea?
Futo: Oh, don't worry! I have my way.
