[Fanfic] Melted Heart [Masamune x OC]

Part 9

"What?" Eiji shouted too confused.

"It's an order." Kojuro glared at the boy.

"Kojuro...we shouldn't force him." I walked to them.

"You are...the lady from the other day!" Eiji pointed at me.

"Yeah, hello Eiji." I smiled.

"Why are you trying to get me out of here so bad?" He glared at me.

"Im sorry...i wanted to help you on the other day, im scared this bandit will hurt you. I won't force you to come." I said as i kneeled down.

"Why?" He crossed his arms.

"You looked like my little brother. And i can't meet him anymore." I smiled but showing sadness instead.

Eiji stayed silent.

"Where are your parents?" Kojuro asked.

"They are dead. Killed by those bandits." He said without feeling sad.

My eyes widen.

"Why are you staying with them?" I grabbed his shoulder.

"I was forced to work for them." Eiji looked at me.

"How cruel!" I stand up making a my hand to a fist.

"Lady Yue, don't think of doing something reckless." Kojuro said behind me.

"Oh no no...i just don't like violence so much." I relaxes.

I faced Eiji.

"Well, you're safe now. You're with me." I smiled.

Eiji still doesn't trust me but tries to nod.

The bandits and the thieves don't bother us anymore.

We left the place, heading to Date's residence.

***

As we walk to Date's residence Eiji been silent the whole time.

Im worried something happened to him.

"Eiji, what's wrong?" I said slowing my pace.

"No, im just thinking. Did i really left that hell?" He said looking down.

"Yes. Don't worry." I tried to cheer him up.

"What actually made you helped me to get out of there? Im a nobody, im just a kid, a servant."

I looked at him.

He is really thin, he must be not eating properly.

His hair is really long and messy.

His clothes looked like it haven't been changed for days.

I know he is worth more than the life he is living before.

"I don't know." I said.

Eiji doesn't look statisfied.

"I feel like you are worth more than living there as a servant." I continued.

"Im not going to say thank you." Eiji said.

"No don't thank me. Thank Masamune-sama for letting me help you." I chuckled.
