Year 7 Month 6
I am dead. I'm pretty sure I'm dead again now. Not because of illness, killed by someone, or because of an accident. I'm pretty sure that I'm dead from studies overload.
True that many of the materials are something that I've learned in my previous life. But many of those are something that I have forgotten or something that I've never learned. Like the languages.
Because we will travel a lot, she forced me to learn English, Chinese and Russian. English is easy enough, because I've learned it in my previous life, and it is the universal language, so many countries adopt the languages as their mother language, and at worst, the system education of those countries included English something they need to learn, so I'm okay with English. Chinese and Russian are forced to me to learn, as we will spend a lot of time there, so she forced me to learn it, as China and Russia are countries that have large land on the asian continent. Well, there is also Japanese and Korean language, but I've learned both of them in the past 7 years. But Chinese and Russian? I've never even heard how they spoke in my previous life. So it is hard for me to learn them. and because I learned English fast, she added french and german languages. How her logic moved, I didn't want to know. And somehow, she was able to make me learn all of them. So somehow I become a master at Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English, German, French and Russian languages.
Anyway, I'm surprised by how much I've learned about all of them. And it's finally time for me to leave with my mother.
As a parting gift, if you can call them a gift, grandpa gave books he wrote about tempest style, it contains both basic and advanced techniques of the tempest style, so I will keep learning it as I travel around. Dad gave me knives, and uncle gave me... pocket money? Meh.
As I'm leaving with mom, I realize that I won't see these homes of mine for some time, and I will miss them.
Anyway, despite her traditional (?) sexy Miko attire, surprisingly mom loves to ride cars, so instead of walking around as I imagined, we will travel by combination of walking and using modern transportation.
When I'm asking her why are we not walking, she said "we are martial artists, not some backyard barbarian monkeys that only know how to suck their thumbs. Even some monkeys in some countries are capable of driving cars, why shouldn't we?"
Does monkey really that advance to be able to drive a car? I want to see it!!
But back to the journey, mom planned to travel around japan first, and meet some acquaintances of hers that have disciples so I can spar with them.
And surprisingly (or not), one of the first acquaintances she met is Furinji Hayato, a Legendary Class Martial Artist, proclaimed as the strongest man on earth, the superman. Also the grandpa of the heroine of the HSDK story, Furinji Miu.
As I and mom approached him, Mom said "Hayato, it has been a very long time. How are you?"
"I've been good Mikumo, Bahahahaha, time es flying fast huh, we both are so old now!!" Full of laughter and a smile Hayato replied mom.
"Ne, the mom, are you old? How? You look so young and he is so old, but why does he say you are old?" I asked innocently
"No son, I'm still young, he just talked some non-sense. And never asked a lady how old are they, understand son?" Replied mom.
Looking at me for a bit, Hayato spoke to mom with a smile "so he is your son mikumo. No wonder you went rampage the past years but mellowed a lot when I see you now. I guess time has been good on you mikumo"
"Yes, yes you are right Hayato. I've been blessed." Mom gave a recently smile while patting my head. I only gave them a grin
"I heard what happened to your son and daughter-in-law Hayato, I'm sorry about them. If you want my help, you know how to contact me" Mom said to Hayato
"I know" Somberly, he replied Mom.
"Anyway mikumo, why are you searching for me?" Back to his smiling face, Hayato asked mom
I blanched for abit. Hahaha, I will meet the heroine so fast haha haha.
"I know you had a granddaughter and had been travelling around, and I know that you've been training her, so I want her and my son to spar. Maybe become friends too. Since both of them did not have friends at the same age" Replied mom.
I got a bit surprised by what mom said. Well nobody knows that my mental age is older than my body, and I won't tell anybody. And I got excited to spar with anybody that is not my family. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm not excited to spar with my family. But they are stronger than me (Cousin, I'm sorry, but you are not counted?) so I always got beaten up.
Furinji Miu should be a year younger than me since I asked the being to be reincarnated a year before Shirahama Kenichi. I've been training longer her, but she is after all Hayato granddaughter and had been travelling around with him. So our level should be around the same. I want to know how far I've come.
Hayato have a thoughtful expression on his face and then brightly smiled and replied "I see no problem with it. The experience that miu will gain is very beneficial. And I know that she is lonely and want to have a friend. Young man, What is your name?" He replied and asked me
"My name is Kushinada Genji, elder" I replied. I'm using my mom family name right now because I have the right to do so, and also to avoid the Arashi Clan Enemies. Mom has her enemies, why wouldn't the Arashi do to?
But at the beginning of the journey, it's been decided that whenever I went outside the clan, I will introduce myself as a kushinada
"Mm.. good name. I hope you can take care of her Genji. But, if you want to marry her, you have to go through me!" Said the elders.
What is wrong with it? My body age and she are still too young to be legally married, and we have yet to meet, and he is already talking about marriage.
"Okay, sir" Whatever the future is, I can only say since he is giving me a scary vibe right now. And once I said okay, he is back to his jovial self.
"Hayato, where is your grandchild?" Asked mom while giving Hayato a signal that I did not notice.
"Where is she indeed. Young Genji, why don't you look for her? She got blonde hair like mine, so it will be hard to miss her. She went to a convenient store that way" Asked Hayato while also pointing in a direction.
Meh, they are probably want to have a private chat that is not for a child to hear. So I went to look for Miu.
