âWhoaâŚâ He was right!? âIâve never met a ninja beforeâ anâ ya protect royalty, too? Thatâs awesome!â Thereâs a word fer that, right? ⌠Retainer, or somethinâ? âSounds like a tough job, though. I hope yer prince appreciates all the hard work ya do for âim.â He feels a bit self conscious of his accent now - the other having affiliation with royalty, and all - but thereâs nothing he can do now; itâd be weirder if he switched to Northern Galarian.
Oh, good. It sounds like sheâs not new. Thatâs a relief; Hopâs not sure how many times heâs explained Spirale to a newcomer, but heâs already tired of it.
Hop beams. âHoshido, huh? âM from Galar!â A pause. â⌠Wait. Hoshido?â That sounds⌠familiar, actually. Incredibly familiar. Wait a secondâ âHUH!?â He rears back, eyes wide in shock. âThatâs where Takumiâs from! Heâs not that prince ye said ya protect, is he!?â Have they met, yet? Takumi didnât mention meeting any ninja⌠but then again, itâs not like itâs any of Hopâs business.
ââM Takumiâs friend, Hop.â He says, clasping his hands together, âPromise Iâve taken real good care of âim! Heâs one hundred percent unharmed, so donâtcha worry!â
âIt is a tough job as a retainer. You have to be in his or her side to prevent something bad to them.â By something bad, assassinations and many more do happen sometimes in Hoshido since their opposing enemy is Nohr. Sure, itâs awesome but stressful at the same time but yeah. Kagero may never knew about Galar but definitely, thatâs Hopâs world continent or country.Â
âPrince Ryoma has my service to protect him. He is Takumiâs older brother. Therefore, i do not mind serving the other brother as his retainer if he doesn't mind.â Normally, Takumi has Oboro and Hinata but they arenât here as same goes to Kagero that Ryoma and Saizo arenât here as well. He seemed to be in friendly terms with the second prince which sheâs at ease.
âIâm Kagero. Glad to hear that Prince Takumi is safe and having a friend like you. Please, keep up the good work.â Even if itâs not a work, maintaining friendly relations is fine as well. A friendly talk may not hurt.
âI wish to know about Galar. Is it a place of your world? Culture and anything perhaps, if i do not mind.â His world could be more interesting than hers, so itâs not wrong to get some information.
