3 The Fate of The Tsuchiyans (1/2)
My name is Hasegawa Chiho. I'm currently 16 years old. I live in a big peaceful village called Tsuchiya. The village is filled with good people, lively population, active workers and brave soldiers, It is the best village i have known. Though, It is surrounded by walls due to various village from around our region trying to capture our village and take away our buildings related to making military equipments and technologies. But they always fail because of their lack of modern equipments. The Tsuchiya has the best and modern equipments ever! Crossbows, Heavy catapults, Improved Gate Breacher, you name it! .. Then later, Our great leader has implemented Walls, To stop the soldiers from surrounding the village and making a single gate to filter out who's coming in and out of the Village. Once the wall is constructed, The days of Wars is finally over. The leader of the villages has no way of even going inside the village anymore and admitted lost at Technology wars and surrendered. Though our great leader is a good person, He did not take any technologies to any of the villages that attacked the Tsuchiya. Because of that, An Alliance between the villages was formed. Ever since then the Tsuchiya Village lived a normal life. Then one day...
HERE LIES THE SHORT MOMENTS OF HASEGAWA CHIHO JUST BEFORE THE PTRD HAS INVADED THE ONCE PEACEFUL VILLAGE

-= 4:30 AM, HASEGAWA RESIDENCE, TSUCHIYA VILLAGE =-
It is early in the morning, Chiho is peacefully sleeping at her bed. But busy people is already walking on the streets, on their way on their work.
-= 5:30 AM, HASEGAWA RESIDENCE, TSUCHIYA VILLAGE =-
Even more people has started to fill the streets, lively chatters can now be heard. Yet Chiho is still sleeping.
-= 6:00 AM, HASEGAWA RESIDENCE, TSUCHIYA VILLAGE =-
The Village is now on it's working time, Chatters are even more louder, Even Children are playing outside, making it hard for you to sleep with an open window. But Chiho got used to this and managed to ignore it, but before she could sleep back. ”Onee-chan!” A small girl voice calling out her name from the outside.
-= PERSPECTIVE OF HASEGAWA CHIHO =-
”Onee-chan!” I kept hearing the familiar voice calling for me from outside, but i don't want to wake up yet. Few seconds later i heard our door opens and the familiar voice started to talk with my mother. Then i can hear fast footstep coming from the stairs, Hey now, Running on the stairs is bad.
Now the footstep has reached the floor, then the same voice ”Onee-chan!” called out. But i didn't move an inch, i want to sleep again. But the footstep came closer and now i can feel her presence. and then she screams again. ”Onee-chan!”. That one is so loud! But i refuse! Then the presence backs out, then I suddenly felt like it's charging TOWARDS ME AND THEN JUMPS ON ME! HOLY SH-
”Urgh!” I moan in both surprise and hurt, then i quickly stood up. Then in my side, A young girl with a white hair sitting with me, smiling at me. Oh yeah, it is Kirisaki Ayumi. How could i forget about the girl i have met since her birth?! I'm like her big sister now! I'm so horrible!
”Ayu-chan? You don't have to jump on me you know? Even if you're light, you still make impact” I told Ayumi about her jump. ”Sorry sorry! It's because you won't wake up!” She told me. ”So i had to do that!” She added. She's just too cute, i can't handle it anymore. I pinched her cheeks hard and said: ”You could have just shake me awake you know?” While she make noise by my pinching. ”I know already, forgive meeeee!!” She pleaded for mercy. ”*sigh* fine” I accepted her conditional defeat. We remain quiet for a while, then i asked her: ”So why are you here?”. Then like a light buib turns on, Ayumi's eyes suddenly opened wide. Then she said: ”I want you to eat our bread as lunch this day!”. Bread? Ayumi's bread? ... I quietly think hard ... Hmm ... Oh yeah! The Kirisaki Bakery is opening right now! ”Oh yeah i forgot! Your mother is opening a new bakery! with new delicious bread with different taste!” I happily told her which she replied with a nod. Damn, i must have sleep so hard i forgot things worser than an amnesia could do. But actually .. Why did she said lunch? i could have just had it as breakfast. With that, i asked her right away: ”Why lunch though? I can go there right now, you know”. Then she crossed her arms and a pout. ”You dummy! Mother is still preparing everything and she said she would be finish around lunch! And your mom is making a delicious breakfast too!” She told me about why i can't go this morning. Then i replied: ”Oh that's why”. Then i stood up to the ground, brushed my hair. Then Ayumi spoke up: ”I wonder why everyone's hair is different” She asked to either herself or to me, or both. Well i don't know either, then she kept speaking: ”Our neighbor has yellow hair”. The fact that she still calls blondes like that made me giggle, She saw me giggle and tilts her head. Then i turn back at her and i told her: ”It's called Blondes, Ayumi”. ”Bu-Bu.....”. She made me giggle again, ahh this damn innocent little evil! Everything she does is cute! Then i repeated the word for her: ”Blonde” Which then she tried to speak it. ”Bu-Burando?” Finally i burst out with laugher. ”Ahaha! Close enough but you need to properly speak it! It's a borrowed word anyway!” I told her about Blonde word. She then keeps whispering at herself, practicing the word. Which makes me giggle ONCE AGAIN. Then continue on brushing my hair.
Then Ayumi spoke up again: ”I still don't get why our hair is different, I mean yours is Orange, Then mine is White, Then our neighbor is B-B...”. ”Blonde” I continued her word. ”I-I know it! Jeez”. But instead of appreciating it, she crossed her arms again and pouts once more. Now you think of it, She never ever appreciate everything i say at her, With that i asked her: ”You little Ayumi, You never learn how to thank everyone don't you?”. Then she replied: ”It's because you keep thinking like im still a child!”. It was hilarious to hear this from a little girl, then i answered: ”But you really ARE a child!”. Then she became even more annoyed: ”No! I'm a big girl already! I can fight dragons thrice better than our soldiers!” She made proud of herself. I just giggled at how she's so determined that she's already an independent person. Well whatever, time to change clothes and go downstairs. Few moments later, i finished changing and invited Ayumi downstairs. Ayumi told me that she told her mother that she would be eating at our place so her mother won't mind cooking a breakfast for her and keep working on the bakery. This had me worrying about her mother being lonely, but Ayumi smiled and guarantees that her mother totally agreed on this and was happy that Ayumi thinks of her mother and their bakery.
-= 7:30 AM, OUTSIDE, FRONT OF CHIHO'S HOUSE, TSUCHIYA VILLAGE =-
After our breakfast, i borrowed a chair from my mom and place it in front of our house. As i sat there, many of my neighbors walk by and greets me. I just sat there, thinking what to do while feeling the gentle blow of the wind. Then few minutes later i saw Ayumi's figure running towards my direction. Once she reached me, she told me that her Mother needs help at the bakery, and asked for my help to carry the flour bags from their house to the bakery with Ayumi. Of course, I agreed and went inside Ayumi's house. There i saw like fifteen 20 kilogram of flours in sacks or so, i suddenly felt lazy. But i must do it for Ayumi and her mother's sake!
