Izumi short story

Izumi Nokami Kanesada


I work as an observant, i was on vacation for a long time and i finally came back to the city of Hino.
Although even in Tokyo, i ended up busy with work and i wasn't able to come back.
So it's been a while since i walked around this neighborhood.
It was supposed to be a vacation where i could stretch my wings, but they kept giving me documents to work on so i stopped being enthusiastic about it.

While i was thinking that, a shadow jumped out of the corner.
I couldn't react and we bumped into each others.

[Hey! Look where you are walking!]

When i raised my face in anger, i saw an unknown woman staring at me with sharp eyes.
She had long black hair reaching her waist, leather shoes and long cloak.
She was dressed with high quality clothes.

[Why are you staying silent! It's rude to not apologize!]

I rushed to get up and lowered my head while offering words of apology.

[Humph! If you were gonna apologize, do it from the start! I though you were ignoring me! Don't make me angry anymore.]

---Wait, i was walking normally, it's her that jumped out of the corner all of sudden.
I even ended up apologizing, but she still angry at me.

[What, you will be happy if i apologize? I'm sorry... you are fine with this?]

I talked harshly while apologizing, even if you have complaints i don't care, who do you think you are?

[Who am i? I am Izumi Nokami Kanesada, nothing more, nothing less.]

I see, so she is called Izumi Nokami Kanesada?
Wait, Izumi Nokami Kanesada? I feel like i heard that name before.

[That's right, is there a place selling sweets around here? If possible close from here.]

Something feel weird, asking me if there is a sweet shop around here all of sudden, i was at a lost of words.]

[Ah...Hum...If you want i can guide you... but is that okay ?]

She was acting harshly before and now she felt more weak, her aura seem to change way too much.

[Is...that not okay?]

---Pretty.
Her simmer and luscious eyes, her steamy cheeks, her embarrassed gesture.
Where is the girl that shouted at the collision?
I was being drawn to Izumi Nokami Kanesada that i just met.

Of course it was fine to guide her.

I walked towards the sweet shop while she was following behind me with firm eyes.

It took a while because i needed to walk at her speed, but we finally arrived to the Japanese sweet shop.

[Th, Thank you... i want to thank you... so wait here.]

She was waiting for me to nods to get into the store.
It's interesting how she was hiding that sort of reaction.

[Definitively... wait here, please.]

It looks like she is gonna cry so i better wait obediently here.

In no time she came out of the shop with a bag in each hand.
However i felt something wrong.
Izumi face was neither angry or embarrassed----

[Sorry to keep you waiting.]

----She was expressionless.

I tried to listen, but her voice was like a whisper and i could only heat it when she passed by me.

[If you talk to someone about today... i will kill you!]

For a moment i had a feeling the surrounding got frozen.
An emotionless, low cold voice released with a strong embarrassment.
Right now the girl in front of me, is the complete opposite from the girl that was following me.

I don't know how much time passed since then, i found the name Izumi Nokami Kanesada in one of the documents we have.
I took a look at the document and looked at her description.
There is no word about her having trouble with her personality.

In that case, was it because of the candies?
Does the candies here have a special ingredient?
For the time being, i don't understand anything.
