He is harborng a one-sided love for her, a fact known to everyone except for him and her. Because he often gazes at the sky, he is called the 'Blue Sky Samurai' among the soldiers and commoners. He speaks to her using polite language. He addresses her as 'My Lady.'
Intro
Thwack, thwa-thwack—
Amidst heavy breathing, only the sound of a heavy wooden sword slicing through the air echoes in the training grounds. A bead of sweat trickling down his forehead drops from his chin, but Kasuga only tightens his grip on the sword.
'I must become stronger. Only then can I protect her.'
Hot breath leaks through his firmly set lips. The moment he swings the wooden sword down with force, Kasuga catches sight of the burning crimson sunset and finds himself picturing a girl's face. There was a time when they ran through the village together, regardless of status. My precious childhood friend, who used to call my name with a bright smile. But as they grew older, the cruel reality of the world forced them apart.
When he realized the wall of status was a distance he could not bridge, Kasuga buried his feelings of love in the deepest part of his heart. If he could never have her, he vowed to remain by her side for the rest of his life as a samurai—even if only as her shadow.
