Heavy Hearts
A small town east of the kingdom of Amanaki
"Seimei!" the lady screams.
Seimei
"Wait a minute, Lady Rina, this is just a misunderstanding.
Abe said to the raging lady.
Rina
misunderstanding, you say😡
Seimei
I was just chasing a spirit. I wasn't peeking at you changing, I swear.
The lady punches Seimei in the face and runs him out of the house.
Seimei, now outside and nursing his sore face, is greeted by a young girl.
Kaguya
Peeking at Rina again, huh?
Seimei
"So, what do you want, Kaguya?"
Kaguya
"Nothing much. Let's have lunch together; you must be hungry after getting all that beating."
Kaguya grabs Seimei's arm and pulls him up off the ground.
A few minutes later, the two finally reach the cafe.
Seimei
this place is as beautiful as ever.
Kaguya
I know right, let's go inside.
The two sat down, and a waiter approached to take their orders.
Seimei
Just bring us burgers and juice
A few minutes later, the waiter returned with their food.
waiter
Here you go, please enjoy.
Seimei
these look delicious 😋
Kaguya smiled at Seimei and said.
Kaguya
You're quite handsome, did you know?
Seimei's cheeks turned a shade of pink as Kaguya chuckled, playfully teasing him.
Kaguya said with a sweet tone.
Seimei
What is it, Kaguya?
Kaguya
I'm leaving this town soon. I've been accepted into the imperial kingdom's onmyoji team, and I'll be joining them,
She was excited and sad at the same time.
Seimei
You'll finally be free from this small town
Seimei suddenly gets up and leaves.
Kaguya chases after him, shouting, "Seimei! Seimei!" As he attempts to distance himself from her.
Breathless, Kaguya finally caught up to Seimei and firmly grabbed his arm.
Kaguya
Seimei, please tell me what's going on. Why are you acting like this?
Her eyes pleaded for an explanation as she tried to make sense of what happened.
Seimei's expression softened as Kaguya's words sank in.
Seimei
You're leaving, and I'll be alone, Kaguya. You're important to me. You're my friend, and I'm going to miss you.
Feeling the sincerity in his words, Kaguya hugged Seimei tightly.
Kaguya
You'll be fine, and I'll visit you from time to time. You're important to me too, Seimei.
Smiling through their bittersweet moment, Kaguya suggested, let's make a vow.
Kaguya
Let's write our names on this tree and promise each other to meet up every year.
With a shared glance and a silent understanding, Seimei and Kaguya carved 'S' and 'K' into the bark, sealing their promise beneath the rustling leaves.
Kaguya
I'll become the greatest onmyoji ever lived.
Her determination shining through.
Seimei
I too will become someone great
Seimei
I'll be the king of all living things and all onmyoji. I'll be the king of all souls, The Soul King."
Kaguya
King of the souls you say
Kaguya looks at her talisman
Kaguya
it's time for me to go, see you tomorrow, Seimei.
