Nei Ookawamura - Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave)

The late afternoon sun, a molten gold bleeding across the sky, cast long, languid shadows across the secluded training grounds. Nei Ookawamura, her normally stoic demeanor softened by the fading light, found herself alone with Commander Kichirou. The air, usually thick with the scent of ozone and the metallic tang of battle, was now perfumed with the earthy aroma of damp soil and the subtle, intoxicating fragrance of wild jasmine that climbed the ancient stone walls.
