Eco

POV Musashi

When Sora left the house, Aoi and I were alone, she said to me.

<He really is a special boy isn't he Musashi?>.

I could still feel the warm embrace Sora gave me, my grandson to me, I affirmed and said.

<Yes, he is an impertinent and rebellious boy almost rude, but...he has a fire inside him, not like his father's full of spite hatred warm, with innate happiness towards life as if values every breath air, heartbeat.>

Hearing what I said, Aoi added.

<Yes, that boy shines, he makes people in a room notice, when he's gone Musashi I'm glad your strict character has been lowered so much, you taught Minamoto, Takeda and little Ishida, all of them teach to follow bushido way but with Sora it seems didn't push him too much.>

When I heard that I shook my head, no, I haven't softened Aoi, I haven't changed either.

<No, 3 it's like that Aoi, to Sora I taught and instilled the Bushido way, just did with our sons is just.... boy didn't bend every time he talked back or disrespected me creed, beat him down, any of at beginning training until they are so beaten, don't dare speak have right mentality for training.>

<But 3 with Sora, it was not that easy as our children child is too stubborn, Aoi this will please you but I kept beating him until he respected, His teacher and his beliefs>.

When I said that, I thought Aoi would be angry for hitting her dear grandson, well our grandson, but she smiled and asked me almost laughing at me

<Fufu, Ara-ara and well Musashi how did that go? because seeing Sora is I don't think you would have had much success.>

I just stared at my wife who, still smiling, no matter that I was looking at her, I sighed and spoke.

<The boy, no matter how many hits he received from my bokken, kept looking at me with defiant eyes and telling jokes about samurai, when was so beaten, couldn't speak, looked his sharp eyes, almost like a bird of prey.... After beaten that lost consciousness could longer move, stopped. And I approached to take him bed, bit leg as if were rabid dog, turning back on determined look, without showing defeat. This process didn't just last day, we went this until one us gave up.>

Hearing me Aoi kept smiling and asked me.

<And who won the battle of big-heads Musashi?>

<You really want me to say it out loud, don't you, woman?>

I said as Aoi gave little claps as if she was a child while affirming, wanting to hear the result from my mouth, seeing her like that made me smile, seeing the change Aoi had since we moved from Japan and started taking care of little Sora, it's like she came back to life, where before it seemed like my wife was living in black and white world, to the lively and colorful woman, full of warmth in front of me

<I lost, that boy no matter how many blows he received, would not back down, I reached an agreement with him, in which Sora follow the rules of Bushido, but made him promise to keep them present and his head, when wondered what do or behave>.

Seeing Aoi's happy expression that then thinking something changed to a worried one she said to me.

<Musashi will Sora be safe with just a sword? The streets of Night City are not>

I listened to my beloved Aoi, worried about Sora's well being, I thought about the dog that followed Sora and the boy's capabilities, as for the robot pet, the boy's own unique creation, well almost, the improvements that girl friend of Sora made to the code of the robot pet, really showed where before, it looked like a rigid machine with the base code that Sora installed on it, but now it looked like an almost living animal.

Eco, the robot dog that Sora had created had installed a hologram covering the robotic skeleton showing a beautiful dog with the body of a wolf, but with the face of a dog with its ears down, white color that went up from its legs to its chest, where it became blond with gray and black locks, I don't know where he got the idea, but Sora had created an impressive pet. It still hurts me where that damn robot dog bit me, it happened when Sora showed me the improvements in the code made by his friend, and I questioned his worth in a fight, Eco heard him angry jumped, biting my ass cheek, while Sora laughed, so much that he threw himself to the ground laughing, while i had his robot dog hung of my cheek.

Fucking dog...
