On the eastern edge of the kingdom of Alkandash, there is a Dojo that dates back to the 440th Year of the Knight.
The Dojo belongs to the Yoriuchi family, one of the most powerful martial arts families of its time.
However, the Yoriuchi Family has recently been in a state of decline after the death of the 18th generation Yoriuchi Clan Chief.
They have yet to look for a new Yoriuchi Clan Chief, as there is still no suitable candidate to become a Yoriuchi Clan Chief.
Yoshi Yoriuchi, a 35-year-old man, was born in 825.
An immigrant who lived in the Land of Armand for more than ten years.
Now he returned to his homeland in 860.
He received news that his Clan was in a bad state, and he was the only qualified candidate to be appointed as Clan Chief.
Actually, deep down in his heart, Yoshi didn't want to go back to become the new Clan Chief, it was just that his wife, Cranell. Persuaded Yoshi to go settle in Alkandash again and restore the glory of his Clan.
Of course, Yoshi was an easy person to influence by his wife, he returned to Alkandash with his wife.
After arriving at the port of Mavich, near the east. He hired a delman to take them both by horse-drawn carriage to his Dojo.
Three weeks passed, the two of them arrived at the Dojo, they were greeted with great fanfare by the Clans.
Without further ado, Yoshi was immediately appointed as the 19th generation Clan Chief. He agreed to the wishes of the Clan members who were related to him to become a Clan Chief who could contribute greatly to the Clan.
Eight years had passed,
Cranell, and Yoshi were blessed with a son... he was named Hakken.
They began to become father and mother, Yoshi had hopes for his son to become a great person.
He did not want his son to be weak, timid, and self-doubting...
Hakken, at the age of two, was taught about the history and development of the world, then at the age of five, he was trained directly by his father on how to use his family's martial arts techniques.
This continued until he was 10 years old.
He was sick of training and learning every day, but he kept quiet and just obeyed his father's orders.
Yoshi knew that his son hated him for his enormous amount of training and studying. But he didn't care, it was better to be hated for taking action than to stand by and watch his son grow into a weakling!
Fortunately, Hakken did not hate his family so much. His mother Cranell was very fond of him and one of the children Yoshi adopted, Sara. She was also a loving sister.
Sara was adopted in 876 by Yoshi. She was found unconscious in a forest near the Dojo.
Sara didn't know her family, nor did she know their whereabouts. At that time Yoshi also learned that this child had been abandoned by her family ...
At that time Sara was 11 years old, feeling sad to see her abandoned ... Yoshi also adopted Sara as one of his family.
Of course this was strongly opposed by his Clan members,
But Yoshi began to plead with his Clan members to adopt this child at least once.
He knew the traditions of his Clan, only those with bloodline deserved to hold the Yoriuchi clan...
However, Sara was an exception. After a long debate, finally all members accepted Sara as a Clan member.
In this year, Sara's nature changed drastically ...
Because of her accepting environment, she became a kind and loving person.
When Cranell was busy, Sara was the one who became a substitute for supporting household chores.
On this day, Year 878.
Hakken had just finished his morning training...
"Congratulations on your hard work today Hakken!"
Said Sara while she extended her hand to give Hakken a towel.
"Uh, ya! thanks..."
Gasping, Hakken took the towel and immediately dried his sweaty hair and body.
"Hey, could you be a little more serious about your training, your movement and strength are not improving at all."
Complaint Yoshi, his father.
"Huh!? Shut up!, I've already do my best this time than before!"
Hakken said in an indifferent tone.
After wiping off his sweat, he returned the towel to Sara and went out of the house.
Yoshi also started talking with Sara in the practice room after Hakken went out.
"Am I too too overreacting??"
Asked Yoshi, his adoptive father.
"I don't think you're overreacting.. it's just that Hakken hates being organized."
Sara replied to Yoshi.
"I see."
Said Yoshi While smiling at the scenery outside
"I think I should help mom cook!"
Sara said.
"Alright then, I'll go outside the Dojo for a while. Later tonight, I'll be back."
Said Yoshi, her adoptive father.
Sara immediately rushed to the kitchen and helped Cranell, her adoptive mother to prepare dinner.
While in the kitchen, Cranell, her adoptive mother, began to greet Sara who was heading here.
"Ah!, is the training session over?"
Said Cranell, her foster mother.
"Yes! It's over! I'm here to help mom!"
Said Sara with a happy expression.
"Really? But... I can do it myself"
Cranell was overjoyed to hear that Sara wanted to help her prepare dinner. But she refused it
"That's okay! I'm free .. so I better help mom"
Sara was still adamant about helping her adoptive mother.
"If you insist, well you can help me cut some vegetables"
Said Cranell, her adoptive mother
Sara hurriedly picked up the vegetables on the kitchen table and started cutting them one by one.
"Is today's dinner vegetable soup?"
Asked Sara
"It is! But I added some meat to balance the nutrition!"
Cranell, her foster mother, replied.
"Whoaa! Really? Hooray! I love meat!"
Said Sara with a happy expression
"The members just finished hunting this morning, I was sent meat by them.
So, isn't it a bit of a tasteless if we only eat vegetables?.. that's why I added meat!"
Said Cranell, her adoptive mother.
After finishing cutting the vegetables, Sara began to put the vegetables she had cut into a large pot, followed by Cranell pouring the mutton she had cut into cubes.
While waiting, Sara called Hakken outside to return home to clean up his body after training session ends.
Hakken had just finished his second training session with the mentor his father had chosen.
He hurried home and cleaned himself up before eating dinner.
At the Dojo, there was a warm bath. They could soak in the warm pool to relieve their stress and fatigue.
Hakken, who had not soaked in a long time, finally went to the warm bath.
There he began to take off his clothes and immediately soaked without a second thought.
"Uwaahhh, this is so refreshing!"
Said Hakken
"Yes! It's very fresh isn't it?"
Suddenly someone appeared soaking next to Hakken.
"D- Dad!!! Why are you here!?"
Hakken reflexively moved away, in shock.
"What's wrong? Am I not allowed to enjoying the Dojo's facilities?
Yoshi said while he relaxed his body and closed his eyes.
"I thought you were outside..."
Said Hakken
"I just got back, to unwind isn't it normal to go for a bath?"
Said Yoshi, his father.
"No, it's not."
20 minutes passed, there was a moment of silence, no conversation at all between Hakken and Yoshi. Until finally Yoshi began to get out of the pool and dry himself.
"It's time for us to eat... let's go back home, you'll die of heat if you soak too long..."
Said Yoshi, his father with a mockingly expression.
"Are you underestimating me? I can soak even longer!"
Said Hakken with his smartass expression.
"Your face is getting red... don't lie..."
Said Yoshi with a mocking expression.
Seeing Hakken's slightly stubborn nature, Yoshi immediately pulled Hakken out of the pool by force.
"!! Oi wai- AAAAAAAAaaaa"
"Shut up, hurry up and put on your clothes, otherwise we won't get our dinner meals!"
Said Yoshi while throwing Hakken into his dressing room.
After finishing drying themselves and changing their clothes, Hakken and his father, Yoshi immediately rushed back home.
They were right on time, the food had just finished being served on the dining table.
Smelling the delicious aroma of the soup made by his mother and Sara.
Hakken immediately sat down and poured the soup into his bowl.
Yoshi was the same way, he immediately grabbed the meat in the soup and ate it.
They had a contest of whoever eat the most won.
After it was all over, the winner was neither of them...
Sara was the one who won the contest...
"Ughh... she's not human.."
Said Yoshi with a strange expression due to being full and Hakken who had fallen first...
After dinner, they began to return to their respective rooms to rest.
