Chapter 7 - The Slave Who Misses

"Bring it on, you piece of shits."

Ryujiro blocked all of the soldiers' hits and killed them all.

Ryujiro: "Hmph. In a tale of a samurai.. there are so many battles. And I will win all of them."

Rodion: "You're pretty strong, kid."

Ivan: "It's my turn, Captain. I will smash this guy's head."

Rodion: "Wait, Ivan. I will fight him."

Ivan: "But Captain! He's not worth it."

Rodion (in his mind): "This guy.. these soldiers were trained for so many years.. they were veterans. But this kid killed them like it was nothing. I should take the lead now."

Rodion walks towards Ryujiro and takes out his sword to fight him.

Rodion: "Come on, Samurai. Show me what you really a-"

Ivan and Vasilisa get shocked after seeing what happened. And Yuki stands there, smiling as if she knew that this would happen.

Rodion gets vertically split in half. The blood splashing on Ivan's face.

Ryujiro puts his sword, Kurogane back in the sheath.

Ryujiro to Ivan: "You, right there.. You wanted to fight me? Bring it on."

Ivan: *gets scared and shivers while standing there*

"Hey, interpreter.. interpreter Vasilisa! Tell me what he's saying!"

Vasilisa: "He.. He's asking you.. if you want to fight him."

Ivan runs away to protect his life.

Vasilisa stands there shivering and watching her captain's dead body.

Yuki: "Hey, girl.

You wanna die too?"

Vasilisa: "N-No, please!"

Yuki: "Then why aren't you running away?"

Vasilisa: "Let me tell you the truth.. I... I also wanted my captain, Rodion to die. It may seem different.. but deeply inside, I was a slave.

They wanted beautiful girls for being sex slaves. Although I'm not beautiful.

They lead a different kind of slave business.

Men who don't have partners to have babies with.. They come there, and have sex with the slaves.

They went to the United States and took girls from there.. One of them was me.

But when they found out that I can't reproduce due to some medical conditions... They decided to kill me.

I told them that I can do different things for them.. I can speak so many different languages.

Then.. they decided to keep me as an interpreter. I had no choice.

But now, I see hope.. Ryujiro Kurogane.

Will you please take me back to the USA?"

*Cries while asking for help.*

Ryujiro: "I see. You won't be a headache, will you?"

Vasilisa: "You don't have to worry about that.

I won't bother you or your girl too much. I promise."

Ryujiro: "Hmm okay.. You can come with us.

Wait, what the fuck did you just say!? My girl?? What're you talking about!!!?

*blushes and screams on Vasilisa*

Vasilisa: "So you two aren't lovers??"

Ryujiro: "Hell nah!! That old woman is wayyyyy older than me! She's so old that she's close to her death!"

Yuki comes near Ryujiro and kisses him on the cheek.

"You did great, Ryuku-Kun."

Ryujiro and Vasilisa, both of their faces turn into poker faces.

Ryujiro: "What're you doing, woman.."

Vasilisa: "Well.. Not lovers.. I see."

Ryujiro: "Anyways.. Let's move further.

We have to take the emperor down.

Lead the way, Vasilisa."
