Chapter 46: Interlude - Bakuga Tsukikage
Located in the office of the minister of Japan, a fit middle-aged man with a beard and glasses wearing a suit had a lost look on his face, then recovered and looked at the desk with an indescribable look.
—-------
[Bakuga Tsukikage]
Looked at the desk with a calm gaze, while inside me various thoughts about the vision I had, passed by.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Looks like the peace won't last long."- Letting out a heavy sigh at this, I once again had a serious look on my face.
"I should look for allies"- Getting up from the desk I returned to put my confident look on my face -"And I already have some people in mind"- Smiling confidently, I left my office in search of some trusted people.
"Let's start with the Kurogane Clan first"-Releasing a laugh when remembering the little patriarch who always looked at him with arrogance and confidence in his walk, look, and attitude-"Let's also see that little one".
—-----
Observing the huge gate that prevented people from entering, along with the huge traditional mansion in the distance, with the huge land that the Kurogane clan had, allowing them to have the main and secondary branches in the same place, along with other houses and among other things, the Kurogane Clan's compound was a beautiful place.
"A Blazer could jump this door" - I said as I looked at the door that is two and a half meters wide and three meters long.
"But who would be foolish enough to do it?"- Smiling at my own words, I entered the complex after the maid opened the door.
Taking a look at the different servants who were training in the distance, along with some who were doing their homework with smiles on their faces, I couldn't help but nod at this change.
Since the servants or members of the secondary branch did not have this face under the mandate of the previous patriarch and the one before that, since by not meeting the requirements of the main branch, those of the secondary branch did not have rights in the house.
But since the little patriarch took over the place, the secondary branch was able to have their rights back, just as it had also secured their trust and loyalty, since they were treated properly in the place, having their rights.
"That little boy made the place a little better" - I said, since the rules of the previous patriarchs since they defeated Ryouma, may he rest in peace, had changed the rules to a more elitist one, where low-ranking people are not allowed since that would damage the reputation of the clan.
That's why you rarely see members of the secondary branch of the clan unless they have a decent rank and have reached the secondary branch due to a lack of Mana or having a not-so-useful Device.
"Fortunately, Ikki's little one did not go to the secondary branch because he was the son of the patriarch, but being ignored must have taken its toll" - Remembering the little one who trained all the hours his body could endure at only 5 years of age.
"But the little one must have kept him company with his twin sister" -Reviewing the memory where Ren and Shizuku kept Ikki company, I focused my gaze back to the front.
"Speaking of Shizuku"- I whispered while looking at Ren's spoiled sister, since she had started visiting the Kurogane clan, she had been able to notice how pampered and spoiled Shizuku was by Ren.
"Jii-san!" - Smiling softly at Shizuku's attitude, I walked towards her.
"I haven't seen you in a while Shizuku, how are you?"
"I've been good Jii-san, I've been training my body, since Nii-sama says that I would need a strong body to be able to fight in case I can't do much with my Water Manipulation" - Denying before the dreamy look I had Shizuku about Ren, I couldn't help but think that these siblings crossed the gap in the future.
(Well, it's not my problem)
Laughing lightly at my thoughts, I tried stroking Shizuku's hair only to see her convert her head into the water -"if you don't want me to stroke you, you should tell me"- Laughing happily at her attitude, I looked back at her pouting face.
"Only Nii-sama is allowed to caress my hair, Jii-san"-Having an 'accusing' look on her face, which made her cuter, I continued on my way but not before asking her a question.
"Okay, where is Ren? I want to see the little boy before I talk to your father"
"Nii-sama is with mom at the time, but they've been in her room for an hour, so he should go out or he's already out."
"Thanks for that Shizuku, see you later" - Greeting Shizuku who returned the greeting, I continued on my way to the mansion.
"See you Jii-san!"
Passing through the halls of the mansion observing the happy and content aura that filled every corner of the places I passed, my smile grew a little bigger, as I was proud of the little patriarch, whom I had practically seen grow up.
"Although acting arrogant and full of confidence before me, it seems that he has read me completely in these years that I have come here" - I said since from playing politics so much in all these years, my attitude had changed so much, being unrecognizable even to me, since I don't even know myself right now.
"Be arrogant before an arrogant person, and be a person full of confidence before a person full of confidence" - I said to myself, seeing that this was the attitude that Ren had in front of me, to show dominance in the conversation or the place, since knowing me I would try to find the domain in a conversation.
"I don't know if that works completely on other people, but with me, it's been more than effective."
Following my walk, I could see in the distance the confident smile and arrogant attitude of Ren who was 'approaching' me, or more specifically, it seemed that he was approaching, but knowing him was an illusion, to make me I approached, taking 'mastery' over the situation, before even saying a few words.
(I must say I am very proud of that)
Returning to my smile on my face, which by default was filled with a confidence that seemed arrogance, I looked into Ren's eyes which hypnotized anyone who saw him the first time -(Fortunately, I already got a little used to that sensation)- I thought since Ren's charm had become too much for many Blazers, and only those who had grown up watching him, had a decent resistance to his ethereal charm.
(Even that wasn't enough)- Feeling the familiar sense of staring into Ren's blue eyes that seemed ethereal and exuded a 'glow' that attracted attention, I couldn't help but think that it was -(An Angel)- And remembering his 'trap card' as he called it - (He fully deserves the nickname 'Morning Star').
Thinking that quickly in my mind, I said the first words of this 'conversation'-"It's nice to see the young patriarch of the Kurogane clan"- Smiling confidently at his attitude I continued-"How are you Ren-kun?".
After a little conversation with Ren, I couldn't help but feel my bones more revitalized and my body younger -"Thanks for that Ren"- I whispered those words, already knowing that the cause was Ren.
"Now let's talk to Itsuki, after that it would be Nene, Kurono, Nangou, and Edelweiss"- Nodding at the list of names, I remembered the other vision where Ren appeared who avoided the war -"Ren would be plan A, and if he doesn't could prevent the war as in my vision, then plan B would be set in motion."
Having a plan forming in my mind, I would need a place, a base of operations to be able to make this a reality -"I will stop being a minister after this, and the base will be called Akatsuki"- Smiling, I continued on my way to Itsuki's office, which would be the patriarch in name only.
