Slid~
Goto Yori closed all three sliding doors of the dojo's front hall, closing it off from the outside world, and then tugged on a small string hanging from the ceiling.
It made the lights flicker on, filling the room with a warm glow.
"Done, master."
He said and turned to Master Arakawa, who was seated at the end of the room, cross-legged on a cushion.
"Very good. You may go."
Master Arakawa said.
With a bow, Goto Yori headed upstairs, where the rest of the students were enjoying a rare free day from training.
"…"
Master Arakawa then turned to look at the two young ones in front of him, drenched as if they had fallen into a pond or something.
When he saw Aoi smiling brightly with a ring on her finger, he felt his heart fill with happiness for his granddaughter.
It scarred his heart to see his granddaughter in so much pain for the last week, but now, he couldn't be happier.
