Grass story

Chapter 52

Kokoro and Kusa are sitting on the rooftop and watching the humans continue on their way of living

Kokoro: Why is your hope never-ending?

Kusa: hmm?...

Kusa: you know the saying 'as long the sun is shining in the sky there is still hope'

Kokoro: yes...

Kusa: and I am connected to several suns

Kusa: hence why my hope is immeasurable

Kokoro: I see...

Kusa: that's why I don't mind if you take some of my hope because it's a drop in a vast ocean

Kusa: don't feel bad

Kokoro: then you are not mad at me?

Kusa: not at all~

Kusa: still the various head of religion is trying to recruit people...

Kokoro: I want to stop them

Kusa: you are free to do so

Kokoro: is it bad that I want to stay with you?

Kusa: not at all

Kusa shrinks into a tiny size and sits on Kokoro's shoulder

Kusa: is this satisfied you?

Kokoro: umu

Kokoro jumps down to the ground and walks to find the ones who are profited from her outburst

All the lights of the village have lighted up making the dark village spark into life once again

On their way, they meet Ichirin

Ichirin: Kusa! And a person that I don't know

Kusa: Kokoro

Ichirin: Ohh! Nice to meet you Kokoro my name is Ichirin and my companion is Unzan

Kokoro: Nice to meet you

Ichirin: I think you are the one that is going to do a performance

Kokoro: yes... But I need to deal with the people who use the accident I cause as a way to recruit people

Ichirin is surprised by that

Ichirin: so you are the one that begins this incident?

Kokoro: yes... and I apologize for it

Ichirin: we then... we should fight to prove your sincerity about it

Kokoro: I don't know how that and this are connected

Ichirin: it's very simple... you see the people surrounding us

Kokoro: yes

Ichirin: they will see how serious you are to prove that you are sorry about that incident that you cause

Kokoro: I see... then let me show you my resolve!

Unzan approaches Kokoro and throws punches toward her but Kokoro uses her lions mask and breathes flames toward Ichirin

Making unzan stops and protect Ichirin from the flames

Kokoro uses her fox mask and rushes towards Ichirin with blue flames surrounding her

Ichirin got hit but Unzan saves Ichirin before she got knocked out completely

Ichirin punches Kokoro and Unzan covers the whole area with his fist

But Kokoro doesn't use any mask and has a golden sphere surrounding her and protecting her from that attack

Ichirin:!!!
