5 Chapter 3 Misunderstanding...
Saber turned and blinked at the police officer several times before she cutely said, "Are you talking to me?".
The officer, Chiba Toshikazu blushed slightly when he say Musashi's beautiful face and gorgeous figure, however he remained stern and said, "Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to put the child down and come with me".
Saber turned and looked at her Master before the latter sighed and said, "Fine. Let's go Saber. I'd hate to make a enemy of this countries Magic Technicians anyway. You should be careful as well, they may not have good physical abilities but some Magicians have outstanding Magecraft. Do not underestimate them".
She nodded and put the young boy down and together they walked over to the police officer.
"Are you arresting her officer?", the man, Chiba Toshikazu was surprised when the young boy asked the questions instead of the woman but ignored Takemi and looked at Musashi.
"Ma'am are you this child's guardian?".
Saber blinked again before a voice entered her head telling her to say yes.
"Yes, I am. Takemi is my nephew. We may not look-a-like but I'm sure you can see the family resemblance". The eyes were the obvious trait that they shared. Although a DNA test may disprove that, but having the same multi-colored eyes would make most people believe it.
"And what is your name?", Toshikazu took out a notepad and a pen and started recording things down.
"Ah my name! It is Shinmen Musashi-. I mean Musashi Mikazuchi. Sorry, it's a joke", she rubbed the back of her head and poked out her tongue playfully as if flirting with the man.
'She might not realize it, but she's an expert at seduction as well', thought Takemi. Her persona outside of battle was a childlike one, not knowing most common things as all her time was spent developing her sword techniques. It was natural and not forced like some other peoples. It was quite easy to become ensnared in her innocent smile.
It obviously worked on this Chiba Toshikazu because he looked away trying to hide the redness on his face, "Well that's alright. It is a pretty old an uncommon name anyway. Although I haven't heard of a family of Magicians with someone as beautiful as you before".
Takemi sent more words over his mental link with Saber, "Well, it's a long story. We were only a small group no more than ten. But one night...".
Saber's eyes became watery, "I'm sorry. It hasn't been that long and I'm still-".
Chiba Toshikazu became flustered and pulled out a handkerchief for Saber and his face revealed guilt and regret for asking such a personal question.
"No it's not your fault. The blame is on me, I shouldn't of asked such a thing".
If it was possible for Takemi to give his Servant a mental applause he would've.
'That was great Saber! How did you do seem so realistic!'
The Servant's tone was proud, 'Back when I was alive, there were lots of times when I ran out of money for food and couldn't pay the bill. I gradually became better and better at acting and faking my emotions. Who knew it would still work in the current era! Hahaha!".
Takemi stifled a laughter. The great Miyamoto Musashi skipping out on paying for meals? That would ruin his image if anyone found out the truth!
"Anyway, would you please come with me? I've practically memorized the register for Japan's Magicians and I know for a fact that you're not on it. If you register today than I'll forget everything I saw, how bout' it?". He tried to lighten the mood a little Takemi sent more messages to Saber.
'Agree to it. We need to find out more about this world. My knowledge of if is only applicable to the events 3-4 years from now. We need to establish our identities and perhaps allies, if I recall the 'Chiba' Family is one of the Ten Great Master Clans. This man could help us'.
Saber smiled at her Master and held his hand as they followed Toshikazu.
The two spoke small talk the entire way there and Musashi drew many looks from passerby's. Mainly because of her beauty and figure, but also from the way she dressed. Traditionally with 4 swords. They knew she was a Magician but never saw one so cultural.
"Well. This is the place. The Kanto Branch of the Magic Association!".
A let go of Musashi's hand and looked all around me. There were several people going in and out of the building constantly, either dressed in police outfits, suits or the occasional military gear.
Although, once again, Musashi and Takemi seemed to draw everyone's attention. Most eyes were on Saber, but the occasional female glanced at me and winked.
"This is were you can register you and your nephew to the Japanese Magic Association. This way your nephew may enter a one of the 9 Magic Universities once he becomes of age. Here this way".
Walking through several hallways and politely nodding to people the three of us reach a medical wing with a number of children with adults inside.
A young girl with bright red-orange hair came up to us and ran into Toshikazu's embrace.
"Onii-chan!".
The girl practically tackled her 'onii-chan' but managed to remain standing after suffering such an intense blow.
Toshikazu's eyes widened and said, "Erika!? What are you doing here?".
The little girl in question pointed to another young man in the room how came up to them with a smile, "Hello Toshi nii-san. Erika turned twelve several days ago so I brought her to be registered too-? Who is this you've brought with you?".
Saber stepped forward and introduced herself, "I am Musashi Mikazuchi, this is my nephew Takemi Mikazuchi, say hello to them Takemi".
Giving a small bow Takemi smiled at them and said, "Good afternoon, eh, sorry what are your names?".
Although it appeared a little rude the young man realized he hadn't said his name and waved it off, "Don't mind that, my name is Chiba Naotsugu, and this little lady is-".
"I'm Chiba Erika! Your eyes are really pretty onee-san! And those swords! They look so cool! And why do you have four of them?".
This appeared to stroke Musashi's ego a little bit as she took one of the swords of her sash and showed it to Erika. The little girl's eyes lit up as she saw the blue and red patterns on the Saya (Scabbard).
"They're so pretty! But you do you have four of them?".
Musashi replied, "Well I my Family specializes in Nito-Ichi-ryu. I always have at least two swords on me at all times. The other two... are for Takemi-chan here!".
All three Chiba's nodded in understanding. Although there weren't many Nito-Ichi-ryu practitioners these days, if an accomplished Magician ever wielded the sword style it could be potentially very devastating.
Erika smiled at Musashi before looking at me and pulling me away, "Let's not hang out with these adults. Come with me and I'll introduce you to some of the others!".
Takemi appeared a little hesitant before going along with the flow sending one last mental thought to Saber, 'Try to act natural. Don't say too much and whenever they mention family just act sad and stuff'.
'Understood Master!'.
"Ne. Takemi-kun?". Chiba still had the former in her grasp bringing him over to another group of 12-13 year olds.
"Yes, Chiba-san?".
She stopped and stared at me cutely before saying, "No! No! It's Erika, E-RI-KA! Not Chiba-san!".
A few people looked at us and shook their heads when they saw Erika, "That's the youngest Chiba Family daughter, looks like she's caught another one".
Her glare intensified and she puffed out her cheeks, until finally, "Alright you win Erika-san. Now what do you want to show-".
Before Takemi could finish he was practically dragged once again over to a group of children numbering about 6-7.
"I'm back! And I've brought a new friend, say hello to... Takemi-kun!".
Takemi was sure an imaginary drum roll went off in her head but didn't bow and only smiled slightly at the group.
"Hello, my name is Mikazuchi Takemi. It's a pleasure to meet you all".
The group was very lopsided and consisted of 6 girls including Erika and one lone boy in the corner.
"Hello my name is Isshiki Airi. It's very nice to meet you".
"Mizuo Saho. It's a pleasure".
"I'm Mibu Sayaka".
"Kitayama Shizuku. Hello".
"The name's Angelica Kudou Shields. Nice to meet you, Mikazuchi-san".
'They were all very cute and would no doubt be first-class beauties in the future if I can remember correctly', thought Takemi.
"Ah! Miki! Stop mopping around and introduce yourself!". Chiba grabbed the boys arm and pulled him over despite the boys apparent resistance.
"Erika! Stop! I don't want-".
"Just let it happen!".
Ignoring the choice of words given the boy was pushed in front of me surrounded by girls on all sides, poking is index fingers together he said, "I-I'm Yoshida Mikihiko. I-it's very nice to meet you".
Giving a satisfied nod Erika pushed the boy to the side and stood in front of the group of girls while pointing to Saber.
"That's Takemi-kun's Aunt! Look how pretty she is! And look at those swords!".
The other five turned and their eyes slightly widened when they say Takemi's Servant. She may not have possessed a traditional Japanese beauty, but her grace and elegance was something that was undeniable.
"Ara? Takemi-kun, does your Family possess some mutation in your eyes?", asked Angelina who was constantly looking back between Saber and myself.
"Yes, about that we actually possess and ability to-".
Before Takemi could finish the main doors to the Medical Wing opened at a wizened old man walked out with his hands behind his back. He had white hair that was slicked back without the use of gel and black eyes.
His gaze swept over the room and when he saw both Saber and I he raised and eyebrow but quickly returned to his smiling face.
Every adult in the room except Musashi bowed and said, "Greetings Patriarch.".
He waved them all off and looked directly at Takemi's Servant and said, "I see we have some new visitors. May I know your names?".
Saber stepped forward with a smile, "The name's Mikazuchi Musashi. And over there's my nephew Mikazuchi Takemi. Say hello to the oji-chan okay, Takemi?".
The officer, Chiba Toshikazu blushed slightly when he say Musashi's beautiful face and gorgeous figure, however he remained stern and said, "Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to put the child down and come with me".
Saber turned and looked at her Master before the latter sighed and said, "Fine. Let's go Saber. I'd hate to make a enemy of this countries Magic Technicians anyway.
