For anyone who find this at first time.

Please look at my translation's note in Kageie MS #1

:: Kageie MS #8 ::

A troop carrying the banner, is now descending the mountain path which is all covered in white hazy fog.

Underneath radiance of the morning, a picture of such brave troop was dazzlingly burnt into the observers' eyes.

Kageie : 「......」

I wonder what kind of feeling Kageie-san has when seeing others depart for the front.

( The truth is...he may have wanted to depart with everyone. )

Soon after Kenshin-sama's figure is out of sight, Kageie-san turns around silently.

Yoshichi : 「Ah...Kakkii...Wait!」

Kageie : 「It's no use watching them forever.」

Yoshichi : 「Again! It's just because you don't have feelings.」

Kageie : 「Is there a place for feelings in war.」

Yoshichi : 「Ouch. So cold! Hey, aren't you cold, Yahiko?」

Miu : 「Haha...」

All I can do is laughing it out smoothly.

Seems like everytime when there's war, Yoshichi-san was left to be the one protecting the castle.

While running after Kageie-san, he nervously looks over his shoulder back to the marching troop once again.

Can't deny it here, Yoshichi-san is extremely contrast to Kageie-san who is awfully indifferent.

Many retainers were assigned out on the campaign so the castle has become deadly silent as if nobody is here.

This castle is always lively, I can normally hear activities going on everywhere......

Kageie : 「From today, you need to listen to no matter what I say, Yocchan.」

Yoshichi : 「Eh? Eh? Eh? What's the meaning of that!?」

...Here is also a lively exchange as ever.

Kageie-san slaps his hand on Yoshichi-san's shoulder, grinning widely.

Kageie : 「Because I am castle caretaker until Kenshin-sama will be back.」

Yoshichi : 「Ah. It's about that~」

Kageie : 「You understand what I mean now, right?」

Yoshichi : 「Yes...Understood! Kakkii is the most powerful person in the castle at this moment but it'd be good if you will not give me any strange order...」

From Kageie-san's ordinary action we've seen so far, it's very understandable to worry.

Kageie : 「What count as strange order you're talking about.」

Yoshichi : 「Ummm......What do you think, Yahiko?」

Miu : 「Eh? Umm...Like...do not disturb Kageie-san's afternoon nap maybe?...Ah...and eat food before getting poison test?」

Yoshichi : 「Wait...Yahiko, aren't all those things too cute!? Too adorable~」

Kageie : 「......Cute you say. We're talking about a man here, right?」

Kageie-san mutters sullenly.

Yoshichi : 「Whatever, he's adorable, isn't he?」

Kageie : 「.........」

Yoshichi : 「Kakki's thought is nothing cute like that.」

Kageie : 「Eh?」

Yoshichi : 「Yocchan, do all the government works...or...Yocchan, no meal if you don't finish works...you see, something like that...」

( Urgh...but that is also adorable. )

Kageie : 「I won't give out any order such that. It will actually be so even without me ordering it in the first place.」

Yoshichi : 「Uwaaa~......That evil look! So what on earth I would be commanded......」

Yoshichi-san covers his face with his two hands, striking with despair. Negotiation between the two going on for a while. Finally, Yoshichi-san breathe out a give up sigh.

Yoshichi : 「Well...I'll do my best whatever...By the way, Kakkii and Yahiko will come to live in the castle during this time, right?」

Miu : 「Yes, we decided to move into the room that we are now temporarily live.」

Since castle caretaker can't afford to leave the castle so Kanetsugu-sama has ordered us to live here instead and thus, for taking care of Kageie-san, I am also going to live here with him.

Miu : 「We still need to return once more to the mansion to collect our remaining luggage.」

Kageie : 「Right. Since I have to go too. I'll leave it here to Yocchan.」

Yoshichi : 「Understood. While waiting, is there anything you want me to do in advanced?」

Kageie : 「Nothing.」

Yoshichi : 「It can't be...」

Kageie : 「You should not complain when I have you do nothing.」

Yoshichi : 「It's because I wanna do something helpful.」

( Although their conversation went on like that, they're both having fun talking to each other though. )

Up until this battle, although Yoshichi-san was not assigned to be castle caretaker but this task was practically entrusted to him, however this time, it is Kageie-san's duty, so at first, I'm anxious about their private life relationship.

Nonetheless, when looking at them from their sides like this, there's no such thing to worry. They took in the situation and trying to fit into their own roles while casually concerned for one another.

( Eventhough Kageie-san said that relationship between people is what he did properly according to the situation...... )

Although it's difficult to understand but this mutual consideration towards each other I've now witnessed. This relationship is not appear to be just some kind of borrowed thing in my point of view.

I return to the mansion to settle my luggage and devoted myself for cleaning.

There's nothing much in this mansion to begin with so it's not that dirty.

( It's actually the polar opposite from Kenshin-sama. )

( 『No attachment to objects』 That is what has come to the show from the owner personality of a place such as this. )

( Come to think of it, I wonder why only Kageie-san lives separately in his own mansion? )

Miu : 「......Hmm?」

While wiping off the dust from the high shelf. My hand touch to something.

When I take a look at it, it's a neck hanging type amulet. There's a long cord attached.

It appears to be extremely old, both string and amulet itself was smudged with black spot here and there.

( What is this amulet, hmm? )

Miu : 「Kageie-san.」

I pick up the amulet altogether with my luggage, calling out to Kageie-san.

Kageie : 「What.」

Miu : 「There's an amulet here, perhaps you forget......」

My word was cut off half way. I'm stiffening with surprise. Hands stretch out from behind has cornered me to the wall.

I was locked up in his arms miserably. His low voice whispering to my ear.

Kageie : 「......Yahiko is bad huh. Nothing's good getting a hand on other people's belonging as you pleased.」

Miu : 「I thought it's something you forgot...」

Kageie : 「Is that an excuse? If you did something bad, just say sorry, can't you?」

Miu : 「......I'm really sorry......」

Kageie : 「......Anyway......That's not something I forgot......」

His sharp voice has become a little bit friendlier and trail off in the end.

Kageie-san place his head on my shoulder and then use one of his fingertip fishing out the amulet from my hand.

Kageie : 「This is my brother's.」

Miu : 「Eh? Brother? Brother whom you're talking about now is......」

Kageie : 「Dead.」

That one short word pierce through my heart sharply.

( Passed away...... )

I'm wordless. I didn't think it will hit on a sensitive spot.

Kageie : 「My dearest treasure.」

Few words come up one after another.

His voice is very clear.

I don't know since when this incident has happened. It maybe that he already went through all of it.

But why...why it also resounds extremely sad, my heart was clenched tensely.

( Is that perhaps what Kageie-san talked about before... )

『I don't know......Is it since when I was unable to protect what I treasured most...a very long time ago......』

( What he treasured most but can't be able to protect...is that...his brother? )

Kageie-san put the amulet back to the same place and murmur quietly as if talking to himself.

Kageie : 「He was sick but it was not the cause of his death. This amulet represents his gravestone so I can't bring it to the castle.」

Miu : 「......I see.」

I have faced very high urge to hear even more but that's enough for now...plenty enough.

I take a candy out of my pocket and offer it in front of the amulet.

A gentle laughter was heard from behind my back.

Kageie : 「Where's mine?」

Miu : 「Eh?」

Kageie : 「Me too.」

When I turn around, Kageie-san was there with his mischievous look, his mouth widely open waiting for a candy.

Miu : 「Y...Yes...」

I toss a candy into his mouth and so he made a giggle sound from his inner throat.

Kageie : 「Thanks.」

His voice is muffled, replying while chewing a candy.

Kageie : 「Tasty.」

Miu : 「...You really do love these candies.」

Kageie : 「It's because you always give it to me.」

I've just become conscious of how close we are, I can feel our body temperature and our breath come in contact.

Again and again, my wavering heart beats so so fast and it's become even worst when all I can see in front of me now is his smiling face which tickling my heart badly.

Not only our phisical bodies are now so close but I have a certain feeling that our hearts draw closer too...

( This feels entirely like......lovers...... )

I can feel my blood rush to my head all at once. My heart tightens painfully. I hurriedly escape from his strong arms.
