day 88, afternoon/mid day-library

[shouribigbro]

After spending most of the previous day with Hube, Shouri was exhausted but definitely interested in more on protecting the castle and fortifying walls and strengthening defenses. He sat in the library reading as much as he could on previous battles and castle protection.

He was hoping Hube would find him again today and they could work on more.

When a guard had informed Yuuri that Gwendal was out riding there was nothing the young king could od but wait for him to return. While he wanted Gwendals advice on what to do Yuuri also knew that the final decision was up to him.

After the helpful words from the Gunter of another world Yuuri thought maybe, like many of the things the Gutner from this world had tried to teach him, there was a situation similar to this one somewhere in Shin Makoukus history. Maybe he could get some helpful information.

So, heading to the libarary, he didn't expect to find his brother reading diligently there. "Shouri?" Yuuri asked, sounding surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Shouri looked up from the book he was currently reading.

"Yuu-chan!! I was wondering where you've been. Oh I was getting a head start on studying some of the castle schematics and plans for keeping it protected from an attack. Hube and I were working on it a little yesterday."

"Wow," Yuuri began. "That's impressive, I didn't know you were being so helpful!"

Yuuri joined his brother, sitting beside him and pulling a book over to hopefully skim through. "I guess I should thank you, too. I'm glad you weren't hurt in the explosion or anything." He leaned over to catch a glimpse at what his brother was reading. "Find anything interesting?"

Shouri grinned. "Your safety is extremely important. So I am glad I can help. Big brothers are supposed to protect little brothers."

" Just some previous battle records. Theres a lot of interesting things to be found. Lady Anissina has definitely fortified the strength of the castles protection. Conrad does a good job with the guards as well. But you still need more of them. I'm trying to figure out what else will help. Hube had some great Ideas though. We spent the whole day together yesterday researching and recording his ideas."

He was happy to have his little brother beside him. The Shibuya brothers working together again made him ecstatic.

"You don't have to worry about me." Yuuri assured him, knowing that his safety was only one of many that they should be worrying about.

"You didn't happen to find anything about dealing with a situation like this one, did you?" Curiously he asked. And hopefully he glanced from the book to his brother. "You know, dealing with someone like Murata who was involved by difficult circumstances....I'm...having alittle trouble trying to figure out what we should do about him."

It wasn't often he opened up and admitted his problems to his brother, especially lately.

" Sorry Yuu-chan,..not yet,..but there is a ton of volumes to poor through and my grasp on this worlds language is high school level at best. I'm starting to get better at it but it's going to take time. I have faith in you Yuu-chan. You will do the right thing. You always do. Justice your way right?" He grinned at Yuuri proudly.

"I can't believe you asked me. Your big brother and not pretty-boy-I'm-good-with-a-sword." He hugged Yuuri tightly.

" If you need my help I can be by your side when you deliver your judgement."

"But for now I'll keep looking for something to help on both fronts!!" He nodded and slammed his hand down on the table forcefully to prove the point.

He really was proud of his brother. Maybe he was getting to be to old to need his big brothers help.
