- Yoritomo Minamoto
- There you are.
- Shanao
- Brother!
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- You never gave me a report from yesterday's battle.
- Shanao
- My apologies, my lord. When I have finished my patrol, I will come and deliver a full report.
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- I'm going out now.
- Shanao
- Then when you return—
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- You're coming too.
- Shanao
- W-what?!
- Shanao
- B-Brother?!
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Just calm down.
- Benkei Musashibo
- My lord!
- Shungen
- Where are you taking him?!
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- You all return to the estate.
- Shanao
- Brother!
- Shanao
- W-where are we going?
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- ...
- Shanao
- (No answer, huh?)
- Shanao
- (There's no point in trying to talk to him if he's not going to talk to me...)
- Shanao
- (Just what the heck is going on?)
- Shanao
- (But I also feel so calm... Maybe because I know we both made it through the battle safely?)
- Shanao
- (I'm glad you're safe, Brother.)
I was jolted back by the cry of a horse and saw my brother dismount from his steed in front of us.
My brother instantly lifted me in his arms and climbed onto his horse.
Before he had completely finished speaking, my brother kicked his heels against the horse and we sped away from the others.
His strong left arm was around my waist and he held me tightly next to him.
Unable to speak or move, I simply rested my body on my brother's chest.
Even though we were both in armor, I could feel my brother's heat on my skin, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
The more I thought about it, the happier I was to feel the warmth of my brother's body against mine.
