As the saying went, you didn't slap a smiling face, and the other party had even taken a step back. Genma and Kurenai immediately lost their tempers.
From yesterday until today, Genma had been the angriest one. He had even caused the others in the team to develop quite a poor impression of Daido.
What else could they do now? He had already taken the initiative to admit his mistake, and he was so sincere—he even looked so honest...
However, the cause of the matter hadn't come from Genma. He looked toward Kurenai and even shifted slightly aside.
Noticing Genma's gaze, seeing Daido like this, and realizing that everyone else was looking at her, Kurenai awkwardly stepped closer to Daido. "That day... I was also at fault. It wasn't your fault alone~"
"Ha, it was all a misunderstanding. As a samurai, when he sees someone else using a sword, his first instinct is to judge whether that person is qualified to become a samurai. That day, Daido must have mistaken you for a samurai, right~?" Seeing the atmosphere grow awkward, Yushi tactfully stepped in to smooth things over. He even rubbed Kurenai's head, earning a resentful look from Genma.
Daido suddenly bent even lower, his muscles tensing as he said solemnly, "This ninja is correct. At that time, I was indeed angered that this young lady was not devoting herself to the proper path and seemed to be heading astray. I could not restrain my anger, which was why I treated her that way. I did not know that you were ninjas then. I am deeply sorry!"
"All right, Daido. The young lady isn't that petty. And you don't need to call me sir so formally—just call me Yushi."
Yushi helped Daido up and spoke gently.
"Thank you, Lord Yushi."
