Ikemen Genjiden “My Dear Exclusive Bodyguard” Story Event - Yoshitsune route
One day when the wind at dusk became a little cooler….
I finished working as a pharmacist in the town and came back to the mansion. The work in Hiraizumi is progressing smoothly, and the number of patients are also increasing.
(I think it’s time to get some more herbs)
I heard from my colleagues that the medicinal herbs I’m looking for were mostly found in the mountains that separate Hiraizumi and the neighboring country.
(it’s going to be little far, so I need to get ready)
As I was walking in the hallway while thinking about that….
A soft voice calls out my name and I turned around.
Yoshitsune: “You’re back.”
Yuno : “Yoshitsune-sama, I just got back.”
Y/s: “Really, welcome back.”
Yoshitsune spoke and reached for my head.
He started stroking my hair gently like it’s the natural thing to do.
Y: “Sorry, is it a mess?”
YS: “It must be the wind that touched your hair.” (*^‿^*)
When he tells something straight , my cheeks became hot.
YS: “By the way, I have something to tell you. Will you come to my room?”
I entered his room and sat next to Yoshitsune.
YS: “Recently, there has been reports stating strange incidents in the neighborhood.”
Yoshitsune went silent for a moment and then continued.
YS: “Women and children who have gone into the mountains seem to be missing one after another. There are rumors about some god.”
(……! It might also be an ayakashi?)
YS: “Because it’s outside our jurisdiction, there’s a lot of uncertainty about the details of the case. You go to the mountains to pick herbs, right?”
Y: “Oh yeah, I was about to go.”
Suddenly Yoshitsune hugged my body. My heart started pounding when his neat face approaches.
YS: “It’s dangerous to go alone. Let me protect you for a while.”
(I’m very happy to hear that, but……)
Y: “Isn’t Yoshitsune-sama busy?I can’t trouble you. I’ll try other ways to get it.”
YS: “But that would take time.”
Yoshitsune hugs me tightly.
YS: “No worries, I can make time to protect you.” (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
(……….It sure will take time and I can’t even avoid my patients)
Y: “I’m sorry you have to do this, but is it okay?”
When I asked him, he gave me a soft smile.
Y: “Thank you! Please take care of me then.”
YS: “You don’t have to be afraid.”
Yoshitsune’s hand gently strokes my cheek.
YS: “I’m glad you can count on me.”
Y: “Yoshitsune-sama….” (//ω//)
I closed my eyes slowly as his lips approached. After receiving a soft kiss, I gently hugged him back.
(When I first met him, I never thought Yoshitsune would love me like this)
I got dressed and walked down the hallway towards Yoshitsune’s room.
Someone pulled the bamboo basket I was holding from behind and I turned around to see Kurama.
K: “What’s with this ugly basket?”
Y: “I’m going to the mountains for picking some herbs. The basket is for that.”
K: “I don’t think so. Yoshitsune said ‘I’m going out’”
Y: “Yeah, that’s because he is coming with me.”
K: “Why does Yoshitsune have to go out of his way to accompany you in your work?”
Y: “He is worried about me. You do know the missing cases in the mountains recently, right?”
(Speaking of……that god like thing, I hope Kurama, being an ayakashi might know something about this)
Y: “Hey Kurama, I wonder if these series of events is really because of some god.”
Kurama started to grin after a little thinking.
K: “It’s true, there is a terrifying monster with mighty power. A weak human like you won’t come back home once you’ve been kidnapped. It seems that the castle is their next target. When they get tired of their prey, they may come to Hiraizumi.”
Suddenly Kurama caught my chin and forced me to look at him closely.
When I heard it in a low voice, it seemed a little frightening, but….there was something like curiosity in Kurama’s eyes.
(……were you trying to scare me?)
Y: “I’ll ask you again, is the rumor about that god true?”
When I asked, Kurama squinted his red eyes unhappily and let go of my chin.
K: “…..boring woman. If you want to go, then go quickly.” (╯︵╰,)
Kurama stepped back as if he had lost interest and suddenly left.
(It seemed like he wanted to kill some time)
(But after all…..that god….)
I don’t know, but it’s certain that something is happening near Hiraizumi.
(Although Yoshitsune-sama is coming with me, I still have to be careful)
Yoshitsune and I rode our horse to the middle of the mountain where the herbs were growing.
YS: “Is it good around here?”
Yoshitsune stopped his horse and got down. He then extended his hand to me.
YS: “I’ll help you get down. Hold on.”
I placed my hand on his shoulder and he gently held my body. When I was placed on the ground…
Y: “Thanks, I will be back soon.”
YS: “There’s no rush. Since I’m here……..let me help.”
Yoshitsune takes the basket i had been holding.
YS: “Be vigilant of the people around you, even if you’re helping them. Can you tell me what to get?”
(Yoshitsune-sama is very kind)
I squatted down in the grass with Yoshitsune and taught him the medicinal herbs that we are looking for and how to pick the leaves. Picking herbs like this together is fun.
YS: “is this different” (•ิ_•ิ)?
Y: “Aa………it’s looks similar,but it’s a different kind of grass.”
Yoshitsune looked at the medicinal herbs I had and compared the leaves he had.
YS: “It’s a small difference, how can you tell?”
Y: “I’m used to it.” (*^‿^*)
When I turned to Yoshitsune while laughing, my eyes were closer than I expected.He stared at me and my cheeks became hot.
(It’s not the time for that!)
(since Yoshitsune-sama was worried about me and came with me, let’s take it seriouly and finish it as soon as possible)
I started concentrating on my work.
After a while, the baskets were full of herbs and we returned to the place where our horse were tied.
Y: “Thanks a lot, I got a lot of herbs today.”
YS: “Good, then let’s go back.”
I suddenly noticed a small white flower swaying in a nearby bush.
Y: “Yoshitsune-sama, I will pick some more. It will be over soon. Please get your horse ready.”
I approached the bush a few steps away and squatted down to pick white flowers. When I stood up, I heard a sound of something creeping up from the depths of the bush.
(eh…….is something in there?)
The words I heard from Kurama immediately flashed through my mind.
K: “It’s true, there is a terrifying monster with mighty power. A weak human like you won’t come back home once you’ve been kidnapped. It seems that the castle is their next target. When they get tired of their prey, they may come to Hiraizumi.”
When I didn’t move, the bushes shook significantly.
I was suddenly held by someone from behind as I fell back in surprise.
YS: “Don’t worry, it’s a fawn.”
When I turned to see the bushes, I could see tiny eyes peeking at me from the back of the bush.
Y: “I’m sorry, I was surprised.”
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind. Looking at me Yoshitsune opened his mouth quietly.
YS: “I sorry. It seemed I have scared you.” 人(_ _*)
YS: “You had a stiff expression while you were picking the herbs. Is it because I scared you by telling that incident.” (。╯︵╰。)
Yoshitsune looked at me anxiously and I hurriedly shook my head.
Y: “NO, I was surprised to remember the missing case. But while I was picking up the herbs, the reason for my expression was different.”
(it’s embarrassing to say it…..)
When I was about to answer, something cold fell on my cheek.
When I looked up at the sky, the sound of rain intensified. Yoshitsune looked around and pointed at a large tree.
YS: “Let’s take shelter under that tree. Can you run?”
Yoshitsune speads his sleeve over my head like an umbrella and ran at my pace. We sat under the tree and I let a sigh of relief. When I looked at Yoshitsune’s sleeve it was getting wet.
Y: “Sorry about the kimono…..”
YS: “Don’t worry, I decided to protect you today.”
Droplets of rain spilled from Yoshitsune’s hair.
Y: “Are you protecting me from the rain?”
YS: “Everything that could harm you or bother you.”
(Yoshitsune is protecting not just my body…)
That feeling made my heart warm.
YS: “Anyway, what were you talking earlier about?”
Y: “Well, my expression was stiff not because of the missing case.”
My face started getting hotter as I conveyed my feelings…
Y: “I enjoyed picking the herbs with you and I seemed to get a little excited. I told myself that I should work hard because you were taking you’re valuable time to guarding me.”
When I told him frankly, he suddenly hugged me. I found myself completely wrapped in Yoshitsune’s arms.
YS: “It’s not good for me if you’re too adorable.” (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
He looked away when he held me.
YS: “I thought I shouldn’t interfere with your work…….Can we stay like this at least until the rain stops?”
Hearing his simple question tightened my chest.
Y: “I want to stay like this for a while…….”
Yoshitsune smiled softly and wiped the raindrop on my cheek with his fingers.
YS: “Taking shelter from the rain with you like this, even the gloomy summer rain feels good..The feeling to love you is endless.”
Closed my eyes when his face approached me. Wrapped in a happy mood, the still heavy rain gradually receded.
I was on my way to the patient’s house, which was a little far from the palace. An old lad with weak legs asked me to deliver the medicines.
(I was planning to inform Yoshitsune before I left….)
When I went in front of Yoshitsune’s room, I heard something serious going on inside. I didn’t want to disturb him so I asked his vassal to give him the message as soon as he comes out.
(I’ll be back by sunset. I’m sure it’ll be all right.)
Old lady: “I’m sorry you had to come this far, Yuno-san. I’ve been in bed since this morning.”
Y: “That’s fine……..feels like your fever has decreased. How are you feeling?”
Old lady: “I feel better now.”
Y: “That’s good. Just in case, please lie down for little longer.”
I told the old lady and set aside my utensils.
Although it was only intended to bring medicine prepared in advance, it seems to have helped. I packed my thing when I felt it was getting late.
Y: “I’ll leave the medicine here.”
old lady: “Thank you….and be careful on your way home.”
the old lady raised her head as if she remembered something.
old lady: “A kid in my neighborhood was crying while being taken to a mountain by a weird man during this time.”
old lady: “the child seems to have been kidnapped. It’s dangerous.”
After leaving the old lady’s house, I was on my way home. While thinking what the old lady just said, I gradually increased my speed.
As I turned to the corner of the street…
Suddenly someone from behind blocked my mouth and I smelled something sweet.
???: “Sorry, come with me….”
All I heard was a strange voice and my consciousness sank into darkness.
I opened my eyes and found myself in a dim room.
I managed to straighten up my body with my hands and feet that were tied and peeked out of the window.Apparently I was in the mountains, all could see the was the swaying trees.
Judging from the sky, it seems long time have passed. The sweet scent still remains on me. I struggled to untie the rope but it was impossible.
(What should I do? ……..Yoshitsune-sama must be worried)
As soon as he heard the rumors about that god, he was worried about me.
(I don’t know whether this is a work of ayakashi or not but I have to get out….)
I made up my mind and went for the door.
(It’s not easy….once again….)
Just as I was about to go, the door suddenly opened and several men came in.
Man 1: “I heard a noise, so I came to check.”
The man frowned when he looked at me.
I clenched my fists and opened my mouth nervously.
Y: “Why are you doing this…..”
Man 2: “For money of course. Our village has had a bad harvest this year.”
(’Our village’….so these guys are not from Hiraizumi)
Man 2: “If we sell woman and children like this, we can make lots of money.”
Y: “So that ‘god’ rumor that has been spreading, is it your doing?”
Man 2: “We are leaving tomorrow morning. If you come with us quietly, I can assure your safety.”
Man 1: “I’ll tell you, don’t try to escape. There are guards outside.”
With this, the men went out of the hut. Th surroundings became quiet and anxiety and fear slowly touched my heart.
(I have to be strong. Don’t give up. See if there’s a way.)
While tried looking for something to cut the rope, the outside gradually becomes bright. When I closed my eyes to calm my anxiety, the time I spent with Yoshitsune runs through my mind.
Y: “Sorry about the kimono…..”
YS: “Don’t worry, I decided to protect you today.”
Y: “Are you protecting me from the rain?”
YS: “Everything that could harm you or bother you.”
Memories of his gentle expression faded my fear little.
(If he knew about me situation, he would surely come for my rescue…..if somehow, I could tell him about my whereabouts)
The moment I bit my lips in frustration, I hear a noise outside.
???: “Hey, What are you…AAH..!
After hearing a sound of something falling, the door was quickly opened.
YS: “Yuno, are you alright?”
I heard a voice filled with heavy emotion, and the amethyst eyes shot straight at me.
Y: “Yoshitsune…! How did you……”
On the other side of the open door, a man who seemed to be on guard fainted and lay on the ground.
YS: “We’ll talk later. First let me get you to safety.”
Yoshitsune knelt down beside me and untied the rope.
Y: “Nothing. I was just tied up here after I fainted.”
YS: “….I’m relieved to hear that.”
Yoshitsune was shining with relief from the bottom of his heart and hugged my body gently.
The moment I feel the warmth, I realize for the first time that I have been stiff.
YS: “Let’s go. Can you stand?”
I took Yoshitsune’s hand and walked out of the hut.
YS: “I have a horse waiting for you.”
Yoshitsune shows me the tree where the horse is located.
YS: “Benkei should be nearby. Join him and go to the mansion first.”
YS: “…….I’m here for those guys who took you.” (this might be the most scariest line I’ve ever heard. I’m sure it’s going to be overkill!!) ((╬◣﹏◢))
Hearing his cold voice made my back shiver. When I was about to go towards the horse,
One of the men who was hiding near the bushes, jumped out and blocked our path.
Man 1: “Just in time. Let’s sell that man as well.” (Bad idea guys! I suggest you run away….that guy you’re aiming for is stronger than Benkei!!)
Yoshitsune sees something like a short sword in the man’s hand and slowly pulls it out.
YS: “You saved me the trouble of looking. You should regret the crime of kidnapping Yuno, in the abyss”
Yoshitsune said that in a really low voice. The wind blew unnaturally from somewhere, fluttering purple hair.
Y: “Yoshitsune-sama, please wait>”
The premonition of tragedy flashes in my eyes.
Y: “My kidnapping can be used a help….”
(I know there is no reason to forgive those who kidnap, but….)
Y: “I wasn’t hurt either. If we catch them we might be able to find the other people who had been kidnapped.”
I tried to stop Yoshitsune who was ready to kill his opponent mercilessly and tried to appeal to him somehow.
YS: “There’s a point in what you’re saying. I was little angry and almost lost myself.”
Man 1: “What are you talking?”
Yoshitsune, with his sword, takes away the man who attacks with fear. He returned the blade lightly and struck the hilt into the stomach of his opponent.
Before he could make a sound, he fainted and fell on the ground.
Just as we stared at him, a roar came from behind.
Man 2: “I won’t let you escape woman!”
The kidnapper, who seems to have heard the uproar, rushed out of the nearby bushes and brandished a knife at me.
(when did you get so close……!)
The moment I closed my eyes….
Yoshitsune-sama’s arm extended from the side and held my body tightly. I then heard a sound of blades clashing.
Yoshitsune flicked the short sword held by the man and knocked him unconscious. After a moment of relief, more men started coming from behind.
Man 3 : “There he is! Over there!”
YS: “Yuno, stay by my side.”
Yoshitsune stepped forward as if he were protecting me.
Y: “I sorry, I got in your way.”
(I also said not to kill them too)
YS: “I don’t find it troublesome to fight while protecting you. On the contrary, I feel like I’m much stronger than usual when you’re by my side.”
YS: “I’ll finish this quickly. Benkei and his team will be here soon. Can you hold on until then?”
Y: “Of course. There is nothing to be afraid of if you’re by my side.”
Although I felt frustrated that I can’t do anything while I was kidnapped, but the anxiety I had when I was alone in the hut is gone now.
YS: “I’m happier to hear that when you say it.” (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Yoshitsune smiled and turned his sword at the men who were approaching him. It did not take long for the kidnappers to be caught by Benkei and others.
After we caught the kidnappers, when I arrived at the mansion, Yoshitsune took me to his room.
(I’m glad I was able to come back to my house like this…..all thanks to Yoshitsune)
A sense of relief gradually spread in my heart.
Y: “Yoshitsune-sama, thank you so much for today.”
Before I could say anything more, Yoshitsune embraced me.
YS: “I’m glad that you’re all right.”
My chest tighten at his urgent voice.
YS: “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you before you got kidnapped.”
Y: “No,no…! It wasn’t your fault.”
I shook my head hurriedly.
Y: “I should have been more careful.”
(I don’t know what would have happened if Yoshitsune hadn’t come to save me)
The thought itself sent shivers down my spine.
Y: “How did you know I was there?”
YS: “Just as you went out, I received a report about the identity of the god. It seemed that the kidnappers moved their base to Hiraizumi.”
(This might have been the serious issue that they were discussing while I stood in front of Yoshitsune’s room)
YS: “You’re not hurt but it must have been terrible.”
After saying that he was worried, Yoshitsune gently touched my cheek.
Y: “It would be a lie if I say that I wasn’t afraid….But I was sure that you would come to my rescue as soon as you knew where I was.”
I remember that the moment I thought about Yoshitsune in the hut, and my mind suddenly calmed down.
Y: “It’s incredible to think that Yoshitsune is protecting me even when he’s far away.
I smiled shyly and suddenly Yoshitsune’s face came closer.
After the soft touch left, I realized that I had been kissed.
YS: “I want to lock you up like this, so that no one can touch you but me. That way, I can protect you from any danger.”
I gazed back at Yoshitsune’s transparent eyes.
(After falling in love, Yoshitsune began to show his gentle and calm face)
(However, he still has that same fierce face like a sharpened blade. This can be seen when he really was going to kill those kidnappers)
YS: “……But it’s a dream.” ヽ(*⌒▽⌒*)ノ
Yoshitsune gave me a troubled smile and wrapped my cheeks.
YS: “I can’t take away your freedom. How painful it is to care for someone in particular.”
With a gentle approach as if I were a fragile object, made my heart ache.
(……….he’s so kind and loving person)
I love even the innocent danger. I hugged him back.
Y: “I really sorry to have you worried for me and…..I’m happy that you think of me like.”
(how can I return the same feelings to this person)
Even if I use words to express it, even if I hold you like this, its still not enough.
I felt like I heard a troubled voice and suddenly he gently scooped my chin.
YS: “It seems like you have decided to endure it. I will love you as much as I want.”
At the same time he kissed and I sighed softly. The kiss gradually deepens and I melt in his warmth.
With my lips closed, I wanted to say what I couldn’t. I gently put strength into arms which held Yoshitsune.
