Unable to bear Kuina's sad expression, Musashi finally gave Kuina some Kendo practice.
Time gradually entered midnight, and even though Kuina insisted on continuing tonight's training, but Musashi forcibly ended her training.
"Let's end it here, tomorrow I will give you some advices again. Besides I also finished fighting, I need to rest."
"And you need to pay attention to your health too, Kuina. Even if your willpower still hasn't died down, your body won't be able to support you if you keep pushing it."
After advising Kuina, Musashi walked away, waving her hand.
"Eh?!"
"Why are you still in my room, Master?" Seeing Vermillion lying on her bed, Musashi was shocked and blushing.
"Hmm? Has Master fallen asleep?" Seeing her Master close his eyes, Musashi moved closer.
On a whim, Musashi poked her finger at Vermillion's cheek.
"Master, you look so cute when you sleep. Usually you look dashing and handsome, but when you sleep you look as cute as a child, hehe~" Musashi smiled.
'Recently I noticed that Master has always been watching my body... have I gotten fatter?'
'Not! I have to practice diligently, I don't want to get fat!' Musashi said to herself while looking worried.
'Hmm, since Master is sleeping in my bed, should I go to his room to rest?' Musashi bit her finger.
'But going to his room seems troublesome... well, should I sleep together?' Thinking of this perverted idea, Musashi immediately blushed.
'But this bed is quite big, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?'
Removing her shoes and coat, Musashi lay down near Vermillion.
On the other hand, Vermillion had actually woken up. His lips curved up, pleased that Musashi had fallen for his trap.
"Haa~" Musashi got closer.
'Sleeping together isn't bad either, hehe~' Feeling her Master's breath, Musashi took the blanket and closed her eyes.
But when she just closed her eyes, suddenly her body felt that someone had hugged her. And the person hugging her was none other than her Master!
"Um?!" Musashi opened her eyes in shock.
"Haha, Musashi, you look cuter when you're surprised." Vermillion, who previously pretended to sleep, said, smiling at Musashi.
"Ma-Master... you're actually pretending to sleep?!"
"Of course, how can I sleep without you by my side?" Vermillion teased while hugging Musashi even tighter. Musashi's curvy and shapely body made Vermillion's heart beat faster.
"Woo~ Master is bad person! Let me go!" Musashi wriggled shyly, trying to break free from the demon's grip.
"Musashi." Vermillion suddenly said with a deep voice and a serious face.
"Yes?" Musashi answered in a low voice.
"I have a rare disease. Without hugging a bolster pillow, I can't sleep."
"So I beg you, tonight, let me hug you. You don't want to make my eyes have dark circles, do you?" Vermillion said with a serious look.
"Huh?! No-not being able to sleep is such a big problem. If-if Master wants... then I'll let you hug me tonight." At the end of her words, Musashi's voice gradually became more and more inaudible.
"Thank you Musasi, you are very kind indeed." Vermillion kissed the beautiful woman's forehead while smiling broadly.
"Happy to have you become my Servant."
"Me too. It is a great pleasure for you to call me." Feeling warm kisses on her forehead, Musashi blushed and smiled happily.
***
The next morning, Kuina saw Vermillion's party preparing to board the Golden Hind.
"Brother Vermillion, sister Musashi, are you really gonna go?" Kuina asked in a reluctant tone.
She has yet to be able to repay Vermillion's kindness; on the other hand, she still wants to learn Kendo with Musashi.
"A wonderful adventure is waiting for us." Vermillion patted Kuina's head.
"If you want to meet us again, then be strong and set sail in the future."
"Yes! I will definitely become strong and catch up with big brother in the future!" Kuina was determined.
"Good." Vermillion smiled.
"Zoro, you need to work harder. I hope you can beat Kuina at least once in the future, hahaha!" Vermillion turned to Zoro while laughing.
"Hmph! I will definitely defeat Kuina! After that I will challenge you in the future, prepare your defeat!" Zoro said with clenched fists. This is his promise, he will become the greatest swordsman in the world!
"I'll be waiting for it~" Vermillion smiled faintly, then led his group back to the Golden Hind.
"See you in the future!"
"See you soon, brother!" Kuina and Zoro both waved excitedly.
