AWAKENING - the adventure

Henry: "So this is Mitsunaga residency"

Henry is amazed by the gigantic residency in front of him.

Ichiro: "This whole area is Mitsunaga property with residency's all over the place.

The gigantic one in front of you is the residency of the main family, we will probably live in a separate residency near this one"

Lenny: "Still, this is amazing"

A servant that had awaited them, walks to their direction,

He is an elderly man with short grey hair, with a grey mustache covering his mouth, he wears a black servant uniform with the Mitsunaga emblem engraved on its back side.

???: "Hello visitors, I am Soshi, the chef-servant of the Mitsunaga's. I am supervising every servant that works for the Mitsunaga family but for now I will be your personal contact person"

Emilia walks out of the carriage,

Emilia: "Hello Soshi, then please show us where we will sleep"

Soshi: "Very well, master Emilia"

Emilia looks surprised, Soshi should not be able to know Emilia's name since no one has mentioned her by now.

Soshi: "I am aware that you are surprised by the fact that I know your name, don't worry. Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama has told me your names so that our introduction won't take much time"

Lenny: "All right then let's go Soshi"

Soshi: "As you wish, master Lenny"

Jack stays behind for a second, looking up to one of the buildings around them,

Jack: "What was that?"

He asks himself after briefly feeling a strong aura from up there.

…

Mrs. Mitsunaga sits on her couch in her gigantic living room, drinking tea,

Soshi enters the room, bowing to Mrs. Mitsunaga,

Soshi: "Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama, I have completed your assignement"

Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Oh come now Soshi, raise your body before your back breaks in and drink a tea with me"

Soshi: "I am really sorry Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama, as I hate to reject an offer from you, I cannot sit next to you and act like an equal"

Mrs. Mitsunaga: "If it's because of your crime you had committed to the Mitsunaga family nearly 50 years ago, it had been forgiven"

Soshi: "Even then, I bear great dishonor, remembering it leaves me in shame, questioning why I have been pardoned for my past actions even though I am not a Mitsunaga"

Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Yes I know the story. Since then you have been Mitsunagas most loyal servant, my husband told me all about it, but don't forget, I am also not a Mitsunaga by blood"

…

Everyone got their own room in the giant residency they are living in; all are connected by one hallway.

Emilia heads out of her room to check out not only the residency but the whole property.

She wears her sunglasses to hide her face a little.

She then walks out of the residency, following the stone way with a roof over it, connecting the residencies with each other.

She notices that she only had seen servants but not a single member of the Mitsunaga family.

???: "Hello?"

Someone says behind. Emilia turns around, seeing a short woman, around 18-19 years, in a simple white and pink Kimono with the Mitsunaga emblem on its back side.

Emilia: "Hello, something wrong?"

???: "Oh no, nothing is wrong, you are the visitor Mrs. Mitsunaga has told us about, I'm Hinata Mitsunaga"

Emilia: "A Mitsunaga?"

Hinata: "Yes, but I'm not part of the main family"

Emilia: "Main family?"

Hinata: "It is complicated, why not talk in the spa?"

Emilia: "You have a spa?"

Hinata: "Follow me, you will love it"

…

Jack wakes up from his nap, he was really tired this morning that's why it was difficult for him to get up in the first place.

He originally was against Lenny having a own room but after having a discussion he left it be.

He opens his door to leave his room, nocking on Lenny's door, not getting a response.

???: "Already up?"

A voice says, it's Henry who just had left his room as well.

Jack: "Yeah, you slept pretty good I guess"

He says, laughing a little about Henrys look; his hair is messy and his eyes are still nearly closed.

Henry: "You want to check out the residency with me?"

Jack: "Why don't you go with Ichiro"

Henry: "Oh come on, Ichiro is probably still sleeping, and you have nothing to do"

Jack sighs loudly,

Jack: "Alright, alright, I will come with you"

Jack follows Henry to check out the residency.

…

Lenny had waited for Jack to leave,

Lenny: "Okay now is my chance"

Lenny leaves his room and knocks at Ichiro's door,

Ichiro opens it, looking completely sleepy; his hair untied and hanging down and his face is completely pale.

Ichiro: "What's up"

Lenny: "Ichiro I have a request"

Ichiro: "Alright what's the matter"

He responds with a raspy voice,

Lenny: "Please train me, I want to be stronger"

…

The Mitsunaga property is surrounded by a big wall, near the gate to enter the property is a building, smaller than the residencies but big enough to host over dozens of people.

This building is used as a hostel for the private security of the property and since it's near the gate, they also function as some kind of gate watch.

A guy, with bandages covering his head and piercings all over his face with half of it being covered in burn scars stands in front of the gate,

Balte: "Alright, inside the residency they are"

He says, before turning his body into mud, passing trough the thin gap between the gate and the ground.

He turns back into his normal form after passing the gate.

Balte: "Easy, now let me find these fuckers and get my revenge for what they did to me"

He says, making his bizarre smirking face.

Another person walks into his direction from the distance, a man with long black and messy hair, only wearing a grey baggy trouser and a sheathed katana.

His face and his body are overly masculine, and he has a scar across his face.

Balte: "I guess I have to pass through you first"

???: "So many visitors in one day"

He responds in a rough voice,

Balte: "From your appearance I am sure that you are Arashi Mitsunaga"

Arashi smiles widely, showing his teeth. His eyes widen while he chuckles.

Arashi: "You better don't make it one-sided"
