I feel called out 😂😭
Most people experiencing infatuation: wow he’s so cute. I’m in love. Let me tell you everything possible about him
Me, an INTP: wow. This is really inconvenient and mildly annoying. Every time I think of him serotonin floods my digestive system and it feels weird. And I could literally be filling my mind with anything other than this stupid boy right now.

My blood is boiling in anger how these men regard women in battle….poor MC! 😖😖
I wish I could sew their mouths shut.
Some of Kageie’s background story was revealed in the latest Tenka event before his MS will come out…
I’d like to put here my summary.
–
After his father and mother’s deaths. His uncle took hold of the head of the family and drove him off the castle together with his younger brother (Norikage) who was suffered from heart’s illness and needed medicine for living.
He found himself an underground job which later his skill was impressed and hired by a samurai then he slowly made his recognition as a good fighter.
Fate shifted when his younger brother was killed by those who served the same samurai. After that he lived his life with no strings attached, never had any home, never trust or be in deep relationship with anyone.
Returned himself to his underground job. One day…surrounded by too many opponents. He fled to a woman who he was recently with but obviously…was rejected.
Severely wounded with noone and no place to return to. Rolling like a garbage…he started to lose all hope in everything even a string of his own life.
Then emerged before his bloody blurry eyes…
A strangely beautiful figure in beautiful hagama…
「Will you come with me?」
Words that had brought an unexpected road. He stared up to that eyes…eyes that full of melancholy as much as his then a finger pointed to his chest had opened the path that light could shine through…
That’s how Kageie has come to Lord Kenshin.
How many Skill Points do I need to finish Episode 6? Thank you 😀
