Koihime Musou ~Birth By Sleep~

Zzz...

"Yes? What is it?" ()

"Indeed. I aim for good deeds." ()

"... Oi. Wake up." ()

It's been bothering me for a while now, so...I just have to say it. If ever I fail as your leader, if I can't protect these people or bring peace...Forget me, Find someone else who can accomplish that task. I won't risk your reputation on an assumption. I would much rather I take the fall instead of you, or Rinrin taking it instead... ()

You are very promising. She simply smiles at you. ()

"eeehhh... Nine more minutes mom..."

For a moment, Kan'u is pondering... But then she smiles at you. "That proves to me you're the one we've been looking for. I'm only more certain of it now." ()

I smile. "Well, I've had a good start. I just have to keep going." ()

"... I'm not your Mother! Wake up, idiot!" ()

"...O...Okay!"

I got up!

"I was having a nice dream, I was in front of this flashy box, and I was pressing buttons and the box inputed my input!"

I'm glad you believe in me, but...What about the people? I'm just a traveler from a distant land, the current rulers I'm certain have far more credibility behind their names. ()

I knew I made the right choice in you. ()

"I'm working on that. But you are exceptional in that you are able to control those Dolls. We just need to get involved in a battle with the Yellow Turbans and defeat them... It will be slow going, but anything we can do to build your reputation will cause people to flock to you." ()

"So... I'm curious. The girl with black hair... She seemed pretty attached to you." ()

"... What?" ()

"Nothing, it was just a dream!"

Before I exited the wagon... "Ladies first!"

We can do it! I smile. ... But the conversation is broken by loud roars of a mob outside. ()

Ah, Kakouten? She is very loyal, yes. Perhaps a little quick to judge...But she means well. ()

"W-... What is that noise?" ()

"She kinda seems like the type that would get jealous." ()

Kaku and Toutaku step out of the wagon. ()

I step out after them!

I look around, admiring the Tou kingdom!

... It sounds like a lot of angry people moving quickly... The sound of the doors downstairs being forced open rings up the stairs!

Anyone who doesn't want to die, give up your things to us!

I quietly take out my sword, giving her a puzzled look. ()

She does let her jealousy get the best of her at times.
()

Kan'u retrieves her weapon. "My Lord, please be careful. I'll handle any hostiles." ()

"So... Are you and her... Erm..." ()

"This is it, the most strategic location in all of China." ()

"Ahh! I see! Looks pretty nice!"

Well...Alright, but I'm going to be right behind you the whole way, okay? ()

Are we having sexual relations, you mean? Sousou grins. ()

"Alright. But if it becomes too dangerous... Retreat to a safe area." ()

I begin to blush in response. "W-... Well... Yes." ()

"Of course. It is the Capital, after all." ()

"So uhh... where will I be staying?"

I'm sorry, but I can't do that. A leader should fight beside his people. ()

Yes, we are~ Sousou states shamelessly and without hesitation. ()

"Very well... But you cannot die. If your life is in danger, you have to pull back." ()

"I-... I see!" I clear my throat a little, changing the subject. "So... Out of curiosity... Is Jun'iku single?" ()

"In the Palace. More accurately, you'll be staying in the quarters we assign to you." ()

"Ah, alright! Thanks! ...I hope I dont get a roomate..."

Dont really like sleeping with other people. ...Although it'd be kinda cool to be in the same room with one of the ladies here

If it comes to that, I will. But...I'm confident in your abilities. I quietly descend the staircase. ()

She is. And so am I~ ()

Kan'u descends the staircase as well! ()

"... Wait... Aren't you with Kakouten, though?" ()

"If you do get one, it is most likely necessary." ()

"Alright, thank you. Can I go there now?"

One Yellow turban is holding a knife against the Inn Keeper's throat! There are three others who take notice of us.

Hey! More people! Let's kill the boy and rape the woman!

W-What? You people are disgusting... ()

I am with a lot of girls. ()
