Shocked was an understatement when we found out Prince Takashi knew Arashi. I was shocked but not as much as brother Hachiko because Prince Takashi and he were friends.
He asked what I wanted to ask as well, "Pardon me for asking, do you know each other?"
"Something like that." Arashi said as he leisurely sipped on the tea pot and Prince Takashi gave a nervous chuckle.
"Ah! Well, what can I say? Brother Arashi was the one who saved me when I was in the war." Prince Takashi said and we both looked at Arashi who wasn't even looking at any of us because something in the crowd caught his attention. Did he say 'brother Arashi'?!
"He served in the war as well?" Brother Hachiko asked in a shocked voice—but he didn't ask why he was calling him 'brother Arashi'—and now it seemed like the view he had of Arashi upgraded to something superior.
