From: Utako Subject: Seiichirou Side Story Date: Tuesday, March 02, 1999 1:10 AM Aoki Seiichirou's Side Story >From Asuka Monthly March Issue P. 180 A young Daisuke ran up to Seiichirou on a grass plain. Daisuke: "Seiichirou-saaaaan! Seiichirou-san!" The wind was dancing around Seiichirou. P. 181 Daisuke: "Wow! That's great! Seiichirou-san! You're really the number one Wind Master among us!" Seiichirou: "That's not true." Daisuke: "No, you know best how to manipulate the wind! Even the Head of our clan said so! I'll work harder so that one day I'll be as strong as you!" Seiichirou: "You'll soon be as good as me." Daisuke: "Really?" Seiichirou: "Sure." P. 182 Daisuke: "How do I do that?" Seiichirou: "Why do you want to become a good Wind Master?" Daisuke: "Cos I want to be strong!" Seiichirou: "Why?" Daisuke: "Cos there's someone I want to protect!" Seiichirou: "Is that Princess Hinoto whom you met under the Diet Building?" Daisuke blushed. P. 183 Seiichirou: "We Wind Masters are granted this power to protect the one we love. We learn to read the tracks of the wind, control it, and use our powers only for the protection of the one we decide to protect for life." P. 184 Seiichirou: "And it's up to us to decide who is the only one we want to protect. You have decided you want to protect Princess Hinoto. The wish to protect, that alone will make you strong. If your heart does not falter, the wind will be your friend." Daisuke: "I understand." P. 185 Daisuke: "Have you decided who you want to protect?" Seiichirou: "No, but I will certainly meet someone in the future. That's what I believe." P. 186 An older Seiichirou is making a call in the phone box. Seiichirou: "Hello? Shimako-san? It's me. I just got the manuscript from the writer." "Yes, I can come home. What? What day is this?" "Of course I remember. It's the anniversary of our marriage, and the birthday of our lovely daughter, Yuka-chan." "I'll get back to the office first, then come home." P. 187 Seiichirou: "What?" "Of course. Of all the people in the world, I love you and Yuka-chan best." P. 188 As Seiichirou was leaving the phone box, the wind danced around him. Seiichirou: "That's how I became strong."
