Adventures In Animes

Chapter 15 - Samurais

Claus finally integrated the new energy. He opened his eyes. Noticing that he was the center of attention he shook his head.

"What? do you guys want to hear some music?" Claus said loud enough for everyone on the battlefield to hear. The leader of the white faction mentally sweated whilst the leaders of the other grew angrier for his attitude after killing their men.

Both sides ignored Claus as he wasn't likely to interfere in the war without provocation. Claus calmly watched the show before him playing the zither in the background of the battlefield. The white faction was pushing the multicolored samurais to retreat.

"Sound the drums of retreat!!!" One of the leaders' orders the drummer. The drummer complied and started banging the sounds of retreat on the drums. The white side Morales were at their highest. The leader of the white side shouted their cries of victory for fending off the invaders.

Then he turned towards the melody of the zither Claus. The soldiers followed his gaze also curious of this person with weird abilities.

"We will go meet him." and order his vassals to follow.

"My lord it is dangerous, please let a messenger go and make contact." one of the vassals pleaded to his lord.

"Nonsense! You do know that I would be disrespecting him when I'm right here and using a messenger!" The lord retorted.

"My lord I agree please rethink about this!" Another vassal pleaded to try to change his mind.

"Silence! Let me ask you all...What are you?" The Lord asked them.

They all said in unison "Samurais!!!" bowing their head towards their lord.

"And what is your job?!" The lord continued.

"To protect the lord!" They passionately replied.

"Good! Now let's go!" The Lord led the men who were on guard with hands on the hilts of their katana's.

Reaching Claus The smell of iron wafted their noses from the blood of the enemy samurais but looking at Claus who is still playing his zither it didn't look like it bothered him one bit.

The Lord waited with patience while listening to the beautiful melody. One of the samurai was getting impatient that his Lord was getting ignored. He decides to yell at Claus. "Hey, you! Can't you see the Lord wants to speak to you?!" He shouted angrily forgetting to the samurais before him.

Claus just ignored him and continued his plucking of the melodies. The samurai seeing this gets really triggered and pulls out his sword infusing Chakra increasing the length of his sword ready to slash his katana. Before he could slash, The Lord saw a golden ripple and quickly flash draws his sword redirecting a sword shooting out from the golden ripple.

"Wait Please! It's my fault for not controlling my subordinate." The Lord bowed towards Claus. The samurai who started this seeing his Lord bowing towards an unknown person to save his life felt he ruined his Lord's honor.

"My Lord! Please stop!" He bowed before his Lord trying to stop him. "I'll kill myself for ruining your honor!" he proceeds to point his katana towards his throat.

The Lord saw this smacks the katana out if his hands. "A Lord is nothing without his man! So stop trying to waste your life on something foolish!" He shouted.

"My Lord!" the samurai was touched and kowtowed towards his Lord feeling blessed. The other men seeing this also bowed towards their Lord. The army seeing this also joined their Lord from far back.

"A patient Master with good men...no a good man will bring people together." Claus finally broke his silence. Finally ending his melodies with a final pluck, looking up towards the group of men.

"I am Mifune how can I address you?" Mifune asked Claus. relieved that the person in front of him was a sociable person and stopped attacking because from that one exchange he was barely able to redirect the attack even with Laido and a quick notice of knowing the attack was coming.

"You can call me Claus," Claus replied towards Mifune, he would be respectful when he has gotten it, but the same could be said with disrespect. Do to others what you want to be done towards you.

"A Claus-dono is it? Well, would you care to join me for a cup of tea at my humble abode?" Mifune then continued "And play some of that music to go along with it?" he asked Claus.

"Well The General and Lord himself inviting me well I'll be honored to." Claus smiled then followed their lead towards the province followed by the army.
