Ellie Tsushima's funeral was attended by all her close friends, work colleagues, acquaintances, as well as the entire Scarlet Sakura clan. At the end of the trial, when almost everyone had left, it seemed that the cemetery was completely empty, but Manhiro was still standing next to his mother's grave. Next to Manhiro stood the Khan and the head of the Uchiro clan, along with his daughter Yui.
"How are you?" Khan asked uncertainly.
- I'm fine. Manhiro replied softly.
"Manhiro, I'd like you to meet my daughter." - pointing at the girl, the head said. - Her name is Yui.
- W-hello! - She said softly and uncertainly. - Nice to meet you.
- Yes, likewise. Manhiro replied, continuing to stare at the fresh ground.
"We'd better let him be alone." Khan said softly to the head.
- Yes, you're right. Uchiro replied in the same low voice. "Manhiro, we'll go."
- OK. Manhiro replied.
After that, Uchiro put his hand on Manhiro's shoulder and said softly, "We're close!"
So, Manhiro was left alone with his thoughts and memories. It seems that not so long ago he was running around the house as a little boy, looking at his eternally smiling, kind, responsive, bright and loving mother. She always grabbed her son for any, even the slightest achievements, never scolded, and if there was a reason, she just sat next to him and talked. As a child, Manhiro was a tomboy, but he never brought his mother to tears.
There were times when someone they knew would raise their voice slightly at Ellie, and at the same moment Manhiro would start pounding them with his little hands, saying, "Don't you dare talk to my mom like that." This figure of a short woman with blue eyes, long black hair, slender hands and a charming smile will forever remain in Manhiro's memory. The figure of his beloved mother. After all these memories, tears came to Manhiro's eyes again and he quietly said, "Thank you for everything, Mom!"
A few days later, Manhiro came to the clan meeting. After the meeting, Han and Manhiro met on the first floor.
"How are you?" Khan asked him.
"Better, thanks." Manhiro replied with a slight smile.
"I'm glad." Khan said with the same slight smile. - The head has a task specially for you.
"What's that?" Manhiro was surprised.
"Go up to his office, he's waiting for you." Han replied, giving Manhiro a little push in the back.
Manhiro went up to the second floor, and then went into the office of the head. As soon as he entered, he immediately noticed a young and very beautiful girl sitting on the couch. She had bright red hair pulled back in a ponytail, beautiful and expressive green eyes, a neat and even nose, and slightly plump lips. Manhiro immediately got the impression that he was seeing this girl for the first time in his life.
"Chief, the Khan told me that you have a task for me. Manhiro said confidently.
- Yes, Manhiro. Uchiro replied. "from today on, you will be my daughter's personal bodyguard as well as mine.
"Your daughter?" Manhiro asked.
"Oh, I guess you forgot," Uchiro said, getting up from his desk and walking over to the girl. - Let me introduce you again, this is my daughter, Yui.
The girl looked into Manhiro's eyes and said with a smile:
- Nice to meet you, Manhiro.
- Yes, it's a pleasure. Manhiro replied with a slight bow.
After a few days of work, Manhiro found out more about Yui. About the fact that she is 2 years younger than him, about what kind of food she likes, about how beautiful and sincere her smile can be, and about how much he values her. As time passed, on one of the seemingly calm days, Uchiro invited Manhiro and Han to his place.
"I called you here to warn you. Uchiro began. "Yui, I haven't said that yet, but I don't have much time left.
"What do you mean, boss?" Khan asked in surprise.
- No, wait a minute... Manhiro wanted to say, but Uchiro interrupted him.
- Manhiro. Uchiro continued calmly. "I want you to keep an eye on Yui and also take over the management of the clan.
- That is... Manhiro began uncertainly. "Are you suggesting that I marry Yui?"
- Yes, I noticed that you have feelings for her. Uchiro said with a slight smile. - Yes, and Yui herself is with you too.
Manhiro was a little confused, but after gathering his thoughts, he said:
- I will definitely make her happy!
"I believe in you, son. With these glories, Uchiro hugged Manhiro. "Han, are you ready to follow Manhiro the same way you followed me?"
- Of course, the head. Khan replied with a slight smile. - I fully support your choice!
- Okay, then Manhiro will propose to Yui, and you will notify everyone about the celebration. Uchiro said, standing in the center of the room, resting his hands on his hips. "This should be the best wedding ever, ah ha ha.
- There is! Manhiro and Han replied in unison.
So Manhiro married YUI and became the new head of the Scarlet Sakura clan. A year after that, Uchiro Kasuro died of illness, and the clan numbered 150 people. A year later, Yui gave birth to a son, whom they decided to name after her Canoe grandfather.
