Chapter 6 - Know your place

-Okay, everyone from Hi Shin Unit, please come here to me! - Rui yells, but the soldiers looked at er with strange eyes, but they cornered her eventually.

- First question: are there any of you who have forged? - Some hands have gone up high and interesting mode not only from Hi Shin but also from Gaku Ka and Gyoku Hou. Rui also waved to them to come closer.

- To those who don't already know, I'd like to introduce myself: I'm Yu Kuang Rui, a blacksmith and I need your help. - Everyone's eyes widened. Older, more senior soldiers widened their eyes after they heard her name. Den Ri Mi (one of Ou Sen's men), who was close to Shin's, looked at her with a scared look.

- But ... wasn't she ...? - Shin could not hear the end of the sentence, for it was suppressed by a bursting sound. General Ou Sen has returned to enter the chain of events at the worst possible time.

- Obsidian Smith Rui. - Ou Sen come dangereously close to Rui. Although the mask covered a lot of his face, one could see that he was irritated. - What s the meaning of this?

- You don't have to think anything bad, General. - the form she called him (without any sama or any other suffix) everyone's blood froze, and Ou Hon felt his father would love to take her head, but then his would fall shortly after too. - All I do is what I think is for our good.

- Pardon?

- After yesterday's events, it became clear to me what the difference between the units was too big to handle. I just need to look at your fighters. Many even wear the armor that my grandfather or father or my aunt made for them. Their condition is almost perfect. On the other hand... - He looks slightly toward the Hi Shin guys - some who are not so lucky.

- And what?

- I just want to help reduce the amount of human loss on our side. And if all I have to do is forge and armor and armor all the time, but it must be ... but for all so many people this is impossible.

- So you want to use those who are proficient at some level.

- Yeah. Of course, only if they fine with they have to listen to a woman. - There was a great deal of cheering from Hi Shin and Gaku Ka.

- We'll follow Rui-sama! - Riku Sen shouted from the crowd.

- We've seen how you reforged Shin-dono sword! We are with you! - Rui just laughed, and the next moment she stepped into the crowd.

- Then now you're stuck with a hammer instead of a sword! And, like the enemy, I also show no mercy!

few hours later

- Woa, check this out Rui-sama!- Rui pulled her hand through the repaired armor and put it back on the anvil.

- Here - pointing it out - reheat and strengthen. The material is weaker there.

- U-Understood. - As she walked along the queue of smiths, Mou Gou and Ou Sen watched in the distance.

- Haha ... smart little girl. She knows how to capture people's hearts. - The old man says, but his subordinate just grumbles.

- If you say so.

- I see you don't like each other's company.

- Don't be so formal, Great General ... we hate each other. There are only two reasons why I haven't take my head so far.

- Namely?

- One: she is your grandson's bride. On the other hand... it's a bad to say, but she is quite good in her job. Of course, it's not as good as Yu Ro-sama was.

- Believe me, Yu Ro was just like that at her age. Loud, unpredictable, but good inspirational and determined person.

- ...

Meanwhile

- What's wrong with you? - Ou Hon asked, looking at the pouting Mou Ten. Shin just grinned.

- The problem is, Rui-san is not paying attention him right now.

- Bingo.

- She is your  fiancee. Just tell her to stop.- Mou Ten laughs at his commander partner comment, then looks at the forging gang, where Rui is chasing one of Shin's man with a hammer and brushing out how and where she will hit him once he catches.

- Once she have something in her head, it is almost impossible to tell Rui to stop.

- How're you able to keep consider her as your bride? - At that moment, the air cooled around the three boys. Shin also felt that Ou Hon had pulled up the already calm Tent with this question.

- What?- All he asked was his arms folded in front of him.

- You know what I mean. She is loud, disrespectful, and not even try look or behave as one would expect from her rank.

- And? You not marry her, but I. And I'm not at all bothered by the qualities you listed. Because for the most part ... why I love her.

- ... I dont understand you, but...

- But for now, it's better to focus on tomorrow's fight first. - Mou Ten diverting the subject - Rin Ko will be the opponent, and three of us may be few ...

Later

- Hah ... finally ... the end.- Rui mumbles as she wanders towards her tent - 30 swords, 21 spears and 16 armor in 6 hours. New personal record. - And with that she fell to the ground ... that is, before she fell, a thin but strong arm caught her.

- You shouldn't sleep on the floor, Rui-san.

- Kyou Kai? - The girl, the lieutenant of the Hi Shin squad, nods and heads toward the bed. She put the blacksmith on the bed and covered with warm blanket.

- On behalf of Shin and the whole unit ... I would like to thank Rui-san. We owe you. - Kyou Kai bow, but Rui sleepily sleeps.

- That'll be the real thank you to me ...- he turns around - when they come back alive from the battlefield tomorrow.

-Hai. - That was the last thing she could her before she drifted into deep sleep.
