When we had returned to the path the workers had laid, we were satisfied that they had made an almost straight path from the southern gate right to commoners' District.
Even though it would be such a waste if we were to dig into the commoners' path that had been set in stones and gravel, so we decided to leave it as it is. Why is there a need to destroy something that was already good enough to use, right?
"BAMM...!!!" A body slammed into me and hugged me as I realised that it was Izumi who was worried since I had blacked out during the bout of hypoglycaemia.
"Himura, I want to take care of you from now on...!" she exclaimed and the ladies who were around all looked sheepishly at me since Izumi had openly opened up her heart and pronounced her devotion to me.
The feeling of a warm body next to mine was something I could never resist and I wrap my arms around her waist and pulled her tight against me. Oblivious to the wide eyes stare by Kikyo and Sango, I simply said in a rather soft yet audible voice to Izumi, "You smelled great, I want to hold you like this forever."
Seeing this romantic little scene in front of them, Sango and Kikyo both felt warm flushes over their skins and faces as they both watched Izumi and me clinging to each other and neither any of them made an effort to pull us apart.
Kohaku, who was nearby, also blushed as Riko crept near him and raised her arms and wanting to be embraced as well, suddenly ran back home and calling out for his father and asking Kirara to transform into a Bakeneko, which it can't since it was within the protective barrier of the village.
Inuyasha laughed at Kohaku's antics and was given a friendly punch by Kikyo who happened to be his lover, while Sango looked far away at a distance where only I knew it would be searching for Hoshi-sama that was busy with his activities in the monastery with Hachi.
Hoshi-sama had been busy in the monastery for he was preparing 15 talismans and placing them into a kind of necklace that would be able to temporarily dispel the protective barrier in the village against any Youkai transformation and such.
In this way, Fasuto Japan Airways would not need him every time the Tanukis would take flight ferrying the merchants back to where they had come from.
"Izumi, you really wished to devout yourself to Himura? If you do, then cut the chase and go meet Hoshi-sama so he would make arrangements for you both to be properly married... And as I've said earlier to Himura, there would be a lot of little Himuras and Izumis running about the place very soon. Hahahahahaha."
"Sensei, you do agree about us marrying each other?" Izumi asked as she held me in an embrace lock that made me difficult to breathe. Haiyo... How could we think of marrying and having kids at such a tender age? Our children won't call me daddy or papa, they would be calling me Big Brother instead. Hahahahaha.
"Sure, why not? Ask this kid if he is able to shoulder the whole responsibility or not. Furthermore, he had shouldered more than 3500 employees at this moment, how about him shouldering a family?"
"Own house, own privacy, own playground inside the house, many kids...all would fall in line from the eldest to the youngest, marching to school. It would be called Himura's little army. Hahahahaha."
Then I looked at Inuyasha and remarked, "Soon there would be little Inuyasha running around too. Hahahahahaha." and Kikyo blushed even redder than a tomato on hearing it.
"Right guys from the Wonder 8, haven't you got any new assignments lately with the Youkai Taijiya business lately?" I asked and Sango answered that the menial jobs were taken by her father and his team members since they don't find it difficult to deal with the current Youkai for this moment.
"Ah...then in that's the case, why don't you guys help out in the future development of this town? This bricklaying path is the main project, after that, it would building the rest of the outermost layers of District to be partly bricks and wood panelling."
"I may have plans to extend their paths to be brick layered as well. Then about their WC facilities to be increased to Octa Toilet and Bath instead of the present. The cost would be borne by Ours Truly so it's part of the community project."
"With paved roads, there won't be sloshy, wet and muddy grounds anymore. Diseases would be reduced, hopefully. More outhouses would be built with toilet and bath facilities in them. A simple bath would suffice for the households of 12 sharing these."
"Free medical support is currently being carried out by little Kaede now to provide a set of medicine for cough, flu, fever and headaches and nausea. She would extend the medicinal pills to aid sleeping, fights against stress and depression and other happy and relaxed mood enhancers in the form of powder or teas."
"This funding would be done through Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha without taking a cent from the government. Even the paving of roads is borne by our fundings. Even though, its a small contribution to society, at least it could benefit the people in the long run."
"Little Kaede, could you bring your portion of a single medicinal value over to my house later? I wanted to experiment with something. Just give me some servings for a single medicine over, and I let you have them back tomorrow." a sparkle came over my eyes as I remembered that I could give something a try by using my Kamehameha and fuse with my Psi Healing Energy.
"Yes, Senpai. I will put it outside the garden later. By the way, Shippo wanted to see you regards something that you had asked him to do."
"OK, send him over then... Thanks, little Kaede." I replied and patted her head while she walked briskly back to Sango's house to call Shippo who was putting up with them.
"Himura... It is ready..!!" hollered Shippo from the distance as he carried the extra-large sketchpad over his head as he tiptoed on the paved ground that was dug 6 inches deep at the moment.
"Hehehehe... The portrait that you asked for us ready...!!" Shippo places the large sketchpad in the table and he flipped it open first to show his father in his original form. And then another one which he drew his father as a full-fledged Youkai with him being carried over the shoulders. And lastly, he showed the group drawing of the 9 of us... All with different poses and were so lifelike that it looked like it was taken from a camera...!!!
"Can I take these with me? Just for a few days?" I asked Shippo and saw that he was teary-eyed when he showed his drawing of his father with him being carried on the former's shoulders. "I would take care of this properly." Shippo looked up and at me and gulped and he made me promise that I would take care of his drawings.
I smiled at him and he left with the rest of the group back to their houses. At least one thing is sure, Inuyasha and his friends are all safe for this moment.
I invited Hiko-sama to walk with me to the trading district and I asked him where I could get these drawings to be framed and hung. He said he knew the place, where else but RECTO'S... Hahahahahaha. Its a one-stop place for making certificates as well as framing services and Hiko-sama ushered me there.
After showing the drawings, even the owners at Recto mentioned that it looked professional and lifelike. There is all sort of frames available and he found the right sizes which he immediately placed the drawings within. It looked perfect...!
We paid for it and Hiko-sama helped to carry the frames back and when we got home, he places them on the terrace of the house. From afar, the picture frames with the drawings looked mighty magnificent and I can see that Shippo had made a tremendous effort for these drawings to be lifelike.
I called Shippo over and when he saw it was beautifully framed, he was basically shrieking with joy...!! He didn't expect me to gift it for him that way. It was a pleasant surprise and he jumped up and hugged me and said I'm going to be his 3rd brother, after Kohaku.
