144 5.33 A Stomp Is All It Needs!!

As we walked towards the watchtower, we saw a few rowdy and drunk men and 6 girls. The girls were huddling to each other while the men were hassling the girls up. We quicken our pace and reached the spot.

"Come on girl, I know you... Come with me and entertain me. Yes... That's what you did before right, why aren't you doing it right now?"

"Yes, Come on... We are three of us, and six of you. Why don't we teach one takes the two of you and you will entertain us, huh?"

"Yes, I want to kissy kissy and sucky-sucky with you... Muah muah muah..."

"Sensei, hold this for me. I'll handle this." as I have the shopping bag to Hiko-sama and he stepped back voluntarily as he took the package.

If this kid alone could handle 2 demons, ordinary men would mean nothing to him.

"THESE GIRLS ARE WITH ME!" I reached the spot and stood in between the men and the frightened girls.

"Go to Hiko-dono there. I got this covered." I turned around and tell the girls to go to Hiko-sama first.

"Hey, kid! Who the stupid fuck are you! How dare you stupid fuck stop us from enjoying those girls! Do you know who they are?" the first one threatened.

"Yeah... Who the fuck you think you are?! Your mother still changes your diaper... Why don't you go back to your mother, you sick little fuck!!" the second one had just ticked me off by cursing my mother.

"Go back to where you come from, you fucking baby! Let me teach you a fucking lesson that you wished you were never born and crawl back to your smelly mother's pussy!!! Fuck you little sick baby!! Go back to your mother's smelly cunt!!!" the third one really got me on the god damn side right now.

The third hoodlum lurched forward but I twirled and kicked his foot making him fall to the ground face first and broke his nose instead.

The second one seeing his companion on the ground also leapt forward and tried to grab me but I simply kicked his foot and made him lose his balance and fell face first and broke his nose too.

The first one seeing that his Comrades had fallen took off a dagger from the small of his back.

"Do you know it is an offence to withdrew your weapon in public, especially in front of a defenceless kid?"

"Shut the fuck up, kid! I'm gonna hurt you badly and I'm gonna cut your pretty face! Not only your face but I'm also going to cut you weewee too, " growled the first hoodlum as he staggered and slashed his dagger at me.

The two fallen hoodlums with their bloody noses had already picked themselves up.

I backed a few paces up, jumped in the air and performed a superman uppercut and landed with one knee and a fist on the ground.

"BOOM...! CRAAACCKKK...! " a loud resounding and thunderous earth-shaking vibrations can be felt and all the three men all stopped in their tracks. The ground where I landed had cracks appearing suddenly on it.

"Is this a human or a demon? He must be a demon, no child can do this!" exclaimed the third hoodlum.

"Definitely a demon!" shouted the second in fear.

"Huu... Huu... Huu..." the first hoodlum cried out and dropped his dagger as the crack on the ground appeared between his legs as he wetted himself.

"I AM A DEMON...! IF I STEP ON YOUR BODIES, I WILL TURN YOU INTO MEAT PASTE AND FEED YOU TO THE DOGS...! NOW RUN BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND...!"

I held my head down and was eyeballing at them and used my Kamehameha to emphasis my killer and murderous intent. I breathe in hard and low like a beast.

The second and third hoodlum helped each other up, stepping away from the cracks while the first scampered away ahead of them and disappeared into the darkness. The passerby was shocked at what had happened earlier as they only heard a loud BOOM and then 3 figures were scampering away.

I inched my way backwards and hid in the shadows of the watchtower and then stood up and walked back to Hiko-sama and the girls.

"Amazing, just like that you made the 3 idiots run with their tails between their legs!" remarked Hiko-sama as he tapped my shoulders and was amazed beyond words at the strength that I had shown.

"I thought you are going to teach them a lesson, but with just one stomp you dealt with those people rationally," said Hiko-sama as we walked away hurriedly and left the scene.

I looked back and saw the damage I had done and I considered myself as a vandal since I had destroyed public property!

"Let's go to the Inn where we ordered the lunch from. Hurry... Before anyone recognises us and we'd be in more trouble than those idiots."

All 8 of us walked as fast as possible and when we saw the Inn from the distance we slowed down our pace and calmed our racing hearts.

The moment we entered the Inn, the delivery boy recognised me and said that he had left the note for me at the table. I thanked him and said I will take a look at his other copy and check how much the amount would be.

"Would you like to go upstairs, since we have a fairly large room to fit 8 or more guests?" the delivery boy asked and I simply nodded my head and went upstairs followed by the 6 girls. The rest of the patrons looked at us and was leering in such a way that they thought that we are going to have a foursome with the girls or something!

Once we had settled in and sat down, Hiko-sama and I sat on one side of the table while the girls on the other side. It was a long rectangular table so, it is just nice to accommodate us.

"I am sorry to make you all wait and have to experience those ugly incidents earlier. It is my fault to delay your wait and thus ended up to see the ugly side of me." I bowed my head and profusely apologises to them.

The 6 girls were dumbfounded that it was the first time the boy before them had asked for forgiveness. When the 4 new girls met Izumi and Riko, they had asked who we are and if we are the same type of lecherous men who would feast on their bodies, not only by their eyes but other parts of the body.

After Izumi and Riko explained who were are they began to show their acceptance. And after tonight, their acceptance towards us was much higher.

"We will have our dinners here and then we go back to the house to discuss something further OK? I miss my sake very much. Oh yes, my name is Hiko and Izumi and Riko had already been calling me Hiko-dono and this young man is Himura and all of you can call him Senpai even though he is still a kid, am I, right kid?"

I smiled at them as we forgot to introduce ourselves. The 6 girls never had an experience where men bowed to them and ask for forgiveness and Izumi spoke up for the rest of them, " It's alright, Senpai. We should thank you for coming to our rescue... The men somehow recognise some of us due to our past work and that's why we were approached. If we were brought up in a good environment, we won't face this ugly incident at all."

I smiled at them and then Izumi introduced every each one of them.

"This is Eko and she is 14 years old. This is Fei and she is 12 years old. This one is Gin and is also 12 years old and lastly Hanna and she is 18 like myself."

"Senpai... it is nice to meet you." The 4 girls bowed their heads and greeted me.

"Hiko-dono... It is nice to meet you too." and the girls bowed their heads and greeted Hiko-sama second.

"They should greet Hiko-sama first since he is the eldest in this group. Hmm... Its should be reversed." I thought to myself.

Suddenly there was a soft knock and a female order taker came in with 4 sets of the menu and a note in her hand. To make matters less bothersome for us, I simply said, "We can skip looking at the menus, please serve us 8 bowls of seafood Ramen, not too spicy and please hand me the bill for the Ramen."

The order taker took away the menus and simply wrote on the notepad including the price for the Ramen. I take a look at it and showed it to Hiko-sama and he took my roll of gold coins, unknotted the end and passed some gold coins on the table.

The 4 other girls saw how casual we paid up for the food that they stated at the gold coins that Hiko-sama places on the table and was quickly taken away by the order taker.

"As Hiko-dono mentioned, we have our dinner here and goes back to the house for supper, OK?"

All the girls nodded in agreement.

"Sensei, you don't want to take a look at your present?" I nudged him and he sheepishly reached out and chose his paper bag and took out the small wooden box out. The box was intricately designed with a hot souldering iron and there were brass hinges at the back and a small brass flip-lock. He looked at the box and finally opened it up.

There laid a pocket watch made from highly polished metal. It shines in the lantern light of the room overhead. There was a knob at the top and was attached with a chain with a small blunt hook at the end.

Hiko-sama pressed the knob gently and the cover flipped open. The knob was also used to wind the pocket watch. Protective mineral glass protects the watch. The face of the watch was made of a shiny type of material, like an oyster internal shell that exudes a multitude of colours when tilted at the sides.

Hiko-sama held it to his ears and heard the soft ticking. He had never owned one ever and receiving one that was so exquisite made his eyes slightly watery.

"You should wind it 8 times every morning, Sensei. Hope you like the gift. At least we won't be late for any appointments in the future.'

'Thank you very much, kid. I will treasure this for all my life. This is the most precious gift I had received besides the 12 jars of sake! Thank you so much, again." he said as he wound the knob 8 times and put it back into the box before he glanced at the time and closes the watch's polished lid.

"Come here, you...." and as soon as Hiko-sama said that, he grabbed me again in a headlock and rubbed my head and I laughed again like a silly kid again. In fact, Hiko-sama never showed his emotions so openly and some 20 years later, he was shot 4 times and one of the bullets penetrated the pocket watch thus stopping the bullet from piercing his heart.

The 6 girls watched the scene unfold and was awed that the young boy in front of them could afford and give away an exclusive item away as a gift.

"Remember I said to the old man that I wanted to buy the 2 pocket watch and passed them as a gift to my father and his best friend. Hiko-sama, I had regarded you as my father and my best friend. Without you, I won't be here stuck in a headlock and getting a head rub from you." even when I said this words and the last sentence as a joke, I was gritting my teeth and was stemming the flow of my emotions but a tear managed to run off my right eye and stream down my face as I quickly wiped it away on the sleeve of my gi.

Hiko-sama too was holding back his emotions because according to him, he had gotten the highest honour from the kid he saved not long ago from the brink of death and had been regarded as a father and a best friend.

He swallowed hard and put on a pretence of running his tummy and asking when the Ramen would be here. "Ahem... I wonder what time the Ramen would be here. Could you check your time, please?"

Hearing his cue, I opened my paper bag and took out the box. It was the same kind of box and when I flip it open, I removed the pocket watch and pressed the knob. "The time was already past 10 minutes past 7 and our Ramen has still not arrived yet." I turned the knob 8 times and closed the lid and replaces it back into the box.

We smiled at each other and then bowed deeply as we returned our thanks and appreciation for each other.

"Hey kid, you know what? Buy one take one. Haa... Haa... Haa...! You are one bloody genius, kid!" I soon realised that we had paid only half of the total price and we laughed again at our drama that we had put on at the shop. "That old man deserves to be taught a lesson, right Sensei. And you were so fearsome just by holding the handle of the katana and you get a 50% discount. Haa... Haa... Haa...!"

The 6 girls looked on and were befuddled at what we were discussing that they just stared at us wide-eyed and at the same time noticed that there were 2 exquisite items before them.

The girls must be thinking that they had to work their asses off in order to get one by the time their hairs on their head had turned all silver.

"Don't worry girls, soon you could afford one that you can wear on your wrists," I said casually as I told them about the unforeseen future about the affordability of wristwatches.

"Senpai, you mean we could wear that kind of size on our hands in the future? It's too big for our wrists... It's like wearing a huge necklace!"Riko remarked as the idea of wearing a wristwatch the size of a pocket watch doesn't appeal to her one bit especially when she looked at her thin and scrawny wrists.

We both laughed at Riko's outburst of her usual blunt speech and the former quickly hung her head down for she just realised her mistake again.

Suddenly our door was gently tapped and it slid open slowly as trays of bowls of Ramen were brought in. The wonderful smell of the Ramen was bursting in the air and penetrated right into our noses, salivating our mouths that made the girls drool over it too. It's been a long time since they had a decent hot meal like this.

"Itadakimasu" as we all graced our food when all the bowls of Ramen were before us. We picked our chopsticks and began to eat from the fairly large bowl. The order taker placed a few coppers and silvers on the table and Hiko-sama slipped it into his kimono hidden pocket.

2 of the girls were staring at their bowls and tears started to drip and stain their kimono. "Haish... Don't cry over food. It is not good... Accept it with God's grace and eat." I spoke softly and the two girls named Hanna and Eko wiped their tears and picked up their chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

The other two girls, Fei and Gin started to cry when the first mouthful of Ramen entered and they started to chew. And quickly wiped away their tears.

Hiko-sama and I looked at each other, no words need to be exchanged as we need the new house to be built as soon as possible to accommodate them into the household and at the same time arrange to meet with Mesen and his nephew for the contract and the start of the production.

I was thinking about the wealth that we could acquire and there's no joy if we can't share it with those less fortunate.

I sighed to myself as I think back about these 4 girls' ugly past and hope to pave a better and meaningful life for them.

After everyone had their fill, we graced our food "Gochisosama" and left the room and went downstairs led by Hiko-sama and I. When we stepped out on the streets, we saw a large group of people had gathered at the watchtower and patrolman were scurrying around to stabilise the peace.

"Here, follow me this way. It is quieter than walking through the square... Walk in the shadows like me." Hiko-sama signalled to us as we walked briskly behind Hiko-sama through alleys and dimly lit districts before we reached Hiko-sama's House.

"Come sit down here first. Make yourselves comfortable in the garden. If any yatai seller comes, stop them first and said the owner wants to buy from them, understand?" Hiko-sama instructed the girls to sit tight and advised the following instructions as both Hiko-sama and I head back into the house.

Hiko-sama passed me back the change and the roll of gold coins while he enters his room to keep his coin pouch, katana and pocket watch. I entered mine and grabbed a few more silvers coins plus the change given earlier and stuffed it into my own coin pouch. I kept my pocket watch safe and then went out to join the girls before carrying 2 jars of sake. Seeing me carrying the jars of sake, Hiko-sama carried his two huge pottery that was meant for me to put at the front of the house and carried to the garden.

I placed the jar a few distances from the girls and told them I would be back in a bit as I knew we still had the sweet corn, sweet potatoes and bananas I had steamed early morning. I made a fire quickly using my fire release and the firewood caught fire and I stoked just enough to boil the water and heat up the food. I came out with 2 cups, took the house plan and joined the girls and Hiko-sama came out holding a small bucket of water, and some face towels and the soap he had prepared from the trip back from the Realm of Mind.

"Please forgive us for leaving you all alone outside again. We had to do something first before heading back out here."

The girls nodded their heads and looked around the area. The two pottery that Hiko-sama took out earlier was overturned and served as a seat for us since the 6 tree trunk stools had been occupied by them.

"So tell us about yourself abit. Why don't Eko starts first? Followed by Fei, Gina and Hanna." I said and dropped the honorific because I can't be calling everyone one-sama since nearly everyone was older than me except Riko.
