The Samurai Tales

It takes 5 to 6 days for Vasilisa and Ryujiro to recover properly (the scars and mild pain remains)

Yuki was still under care.

Vasilisa:: "Ryujiro.. I heard that Yuki woke up."

Ryujiro: "Really?? Let's go there."

Wu Ming and Zhang Liang welcome those two inside.. and Yuki smiles as soon as she sees Ryujiro.

"Ryuku..kun."

Zhang Liang: "The bullet was removed. Her wound is starting to close. Ryujiro-san."

Ryujiro comes near her and holds her hand.

Yuki sees tears in his eyes.

She slowly sits up.

Wu Ming: "Yuki-san! You should rest! Don't force yourself."

Yuki: "It's okay.."

She hugs Ryujiro.

"Shhh.. don't cry like a baby."

Ryujiro: "I'm not crying, girl.. And I'm just two years younger.. don't call me a crybaby."

Yuki smiles and rests back.

Ryujiro: "Yuki.. The thing is that."

Vasilisa smiles with excitement.

"Yes! Tell her!!"

-"The thing is that.. I want to eat noodles.. So stay here.. and take care of yourself."

Vasilisa's face widens: "Seriously..."

December 5, 1875

5:15 PM.

Vasilisa stores a lot of ammo for her Berdan rifle. And modifies it at a gunsmith.

Vasilisa: "Hell yeah! A scope that can zoom upto 6x."

Ryujiro starts roaming in the streets now.. as the king.

Random guy: "Hey.. I thought this new king will be a dictator and treat us worse than Dowager Cixi.. But he seems like a nice guy.. He's chill."

Random guy 2: "Yeah.. But he's Japanese. And a samurai. We still can't trust him."

Ryujiro gets made samurai armours for all the members and a sword for Vasilisa.

Ryujiro: "Huhh.. She doesn't have much knowledge of swords.. So much work...

Hey. The blade is not sharp enough. Make it as sharp as possible."

December 6, 1875.

5:55 AM

Ryujiro: "Alright, everyone.. Time to leave..

Yuki. Vasilisa. Wu Ming. Zhang Liang."

There were smiles at all of their faces.

Vasilisa: "The next trip will be long.. Egypt."

Wu Ming: "Not India?"

Vasilisa: "First, India is under British control right now. And second, it was not one of the countries that were involved in the samurai massacre.

Yeah, Egypt is also under Ottoman Empire. But it WAS one of the countries involved.. Right, Ryujiro?"

-"Yeah."

Wu Ming: "Hmmm I see.. Makes sense why India and Japan have good relations."

Vasilisa: "When did that happen?"

Wu Ming: "Uhmm.. nothing. Hallucinations probably."

Ryujiro: "Egypt.. It'll be a long journey.. weeks.. or maybe even one or two months.. Long route. We'll see."

Yuki: "Ryuku-kun.. Your name justifies your actions. You're truly a dragon's son of sunshine.. Look. The sun is rising exactly behind you..

A dragon.. in the rising sun."
