Shanao
!
I was jolted back by the cry of a horse and saw my brother dismount from his steed in front of us.
Yoritomo Minamoto
There you are.
Shanao
Brother!
Yoritomo Minamoto
You never gave me a report from yesterday's battle.
Shanao
My apologies, my lord. When I have finished my patrol, I will come and deliver a full report.
Yoritomo Minamoto
I'm going out now.
Shanao
Then when you return—
Yoritomo Minamoto
You're coming too.
Shanao
W-what?!
My brother instantly lifted me in his arms and climbed onto his horse.
Shanao
B-Brother?!
Yoritomo Minamoto
Just calm down.
Benkei Musashibo
My lord!
Shungen
Where are you taking him?!
Yoritomo Minamoto
You all return to the estate.
Before he had completely finished speaking, my brother kicked his heels against the horse and we sped away from the others.
Shanao
Brother!
His strong left arm was around my waist and he held me tightly next to him.
Shanao
W-where are we going?
Yoritomo Minamoto
...
Shanao
(No answer, huh?)
Shanao
(There's no point in trying to talk to him if he's not going to talk to me...)
Shanao
(Just what the heck is going on?)
Unable to speak or move, I simply rested my body on my brother's chest.
Even though we were both in armor, I could feel my brother's heat on my skin, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
Shanao
(But I also feel so calm... Maybe because I know we both made it through the battle safely?)
The more I thought about it, the happier I was to feel the warmth of my brother's body against mine.
Shanao
(I'm glad you're safe, Brother.)
