( Yuuki's POV )
Yuuki: well here we are, where exactly are the ruins that you were talking about?
Leen: I don't know exactly, I just know that those are called the Niruya ruins.
Yae: Niruya? I think my father might know about that place.
Leen: so what are we waiting for? Let's go see him.
We appreciated in a place surrounded by trees without much else around us but this was the place in Yae's memories, I asked Leen about the ruins she was looking for and when Yae mentioned that her father might have information about the place, Leen took her hand and she started pulling it as she ran.
Elze: porque tenemos que seguirla a ella.
Charlotte: I'm sorry, my teacher can be quite selfish when she finds something that interests her.
Yuuki: that's ok, I'm pretty excited myself.
We followed the two of them and in a few moments, I knew that we were on a hill that gave us a good view of an old-style Japanese city.
Yae: here we are this is my home, the city of Edo.
Lilith: Yuuki, this place.
Yuuki: Yes, I know, different worlds can develop similar cultures so this is not too strange.
Yae showed us around the city while we headed to her house, Yae was explaining some things to us about the place but at the same time she felt like something was wrong so we hurried to her house which was a big place, it seemed that Yae's family had some influence here.
Yae: Is someone at home?
Yae opened the front door wide and she called out to whoever and immediately a maid appeared.
???: yes coming... Oh Yae-sama!
Yae: Ayane it's been a while!
Ayane: welcome home, Nanae-sama, Yae-sama is back.
The maid called for someone else and in a moment a mature woman appeared, she looked a lot like Yae except she had dark purple hair.
Yae: Mother!
Nanae: Yae! I'm glad to see you're okay.
The two shared a loving hug and then she turned her gaze to us.
Nanae: Yae who are these people?
Yae: ah well they are my companions, they have been taking care of me.
Nanae: my I see.
Yae: by the way mother, is my father here? Or is he in the castle?
As soon as Yae mentioned her father the atmosphere changed and her mother became serious.
Nanae: Your father is not here, he accompanied our lord Ieyasu-sama to battle.
Yae: battle? Against whom?
Ayane: The Takeda, their army has been advancing and the master went to the Kawagoe fortress with Jutaro-sama to stop them.
Yae: That's why the city felt strange.
Leen: how is the battle going?
Ayane: There are rumors that it is only a matter of time before the fortress falls.
Yuuki: then it's good that we are here.
Leen: I didn't imagine that I would go to battle today.
Yuuki: that won't even be a battle, don't worry ma'am, I will bring your husband and son safe and sound.
Nanae: Excuse me but who are you?
Yuuki: well, I'm Kurokawa Yuuki and I'm your daughter's fiancé.
Nanae: my oh my~
Yae: Yuuki what are you saying!
Yuuki: It's the truth, isn't it? We will talk more about this later Mother.
Nanae: yes please come back safely~
////////////////////
I opened a partol to a hill overlooking the fortress that was being assaulted by an army of weirdly moving soldiers, It seemed like the fortress wasn't going to hold out much longer, so I acted immediately.
Yuuki: sorry but I'll be taking all the fun this time, we're fighting against the clock.
Charlotte: W-Why are you taking off your clothes?
Yuuki: I don't want to break them.
Out of necessity I created some clothes that transformed when I did it but I could only make the lower part, Akitsu approached to take my clothes and after giving the girls a thumbs up I flew over the enemy army and then transformed into my dragon form.
I let out a powerful roar that echoed throughout the battlefield and I created a huge sphere of light magic that rained spears of light on everyone destroying the army in seconds, Then I flew to the fortress where obviously all the soldiers there pointed their weapons at me, In the front there was a young man who looked me straight in the eyes and something told me that this was Yae's brother, Jutaro, I opened a portal so the girls could pass through and Yae would explain the situation.
Yae: Brother!
Jutaro: Yae?
Yae ran to her brother's side and while they were talking I put my clothes back on, Akitsu stayed close to me as always but one of Leo's retainers, Yukikaze, also stayed behind.
Yukikaze: hey does that hurt? When do you transform?
Yuuki: a little but I'm getting used to it, why do you ask? Worried about me?
Yukikaze: yes but more for Leo, you are important to her, If something happened to you that would hurt her and it's my job to prevent that.
Yuuki: I will keep that in mind.
After our little conversation, we met up with the others and listened to the status report on the fortress, There were many soldiers wounded but not dead, apparently the enemy they were facing was not very intelligent but they were relentless and they were forced to give up territory constantly.
Yae's father, Kokonoe Jubei was also safe and Yae's brother took us with him and his lord Ieyasu, Yumina, and Leo, very important people they were, took the lead in the conversation.
Ieyasu: First let me thank you for your help, I had no idea that today I would be hosting two princesses I regret not being able to give you a proper welcome.
Yumina: Don't worry about that, we are here for personal reasons.
Jubei: I find it hard to believe that my daughter is escorting two princesses, I'm surprised.
Yae: jeje I have grown quite a bit.
Yuuki: yeah you're nothing like the girl who lost all her money and couldn't get food.
Yae: You didn't have to mention that Yuuki.
Ieyasu: and you are the one who defeated the enemy army all by yourself.
Leo: This is Yuuki, he is Yumina's and my fiancé.
Yuuki: nice to meet you, especially you Jubei-san.
Jubei: um? Why is that?
A huge smile appeared on my face but next to me, Yae started to blush hard.
