Korin Den (Legend of Korin) Summary
By Caroline Pearce w/ additions by Nina
Stage 1.
Seiji is supervising his kendo class at practice (he teaches the elementary classes in his family's dojo). Afterwards,
he's puttering around tidying up, thinking about his friends and the days when they were fighting Arago; he can't feel peace even after the battle has ended. Suddenly he hears giggles and the sound of a temari (fancy string winding) ball being bounced.
"Did someone forget something? Is there someone there? Come on out."
He figures it's his bratty little sister teasing him. He's having deja-vu flashes for a moment, feeling that he has seen the girl before but it is not his sister and he has no other memory of a young girl. Seiji finally gets angry and flings something on the floor.
But finds out that instead it's a little girl, Reiko, whose mother is a friend of the Date family. Her mom makes her apologize to Seiji. Seiji calls her Youko-sempai, probably because she was a student at the kendo dojo before marrying and moving to Tokyo.
She comments that children are fun but a 'battle' sometimes. She asks where Seiji's grandfather (she calls him sensei/master) and Seiji says his mother and grandfather are in the shrine right now and asks if she would like to come. I think Youko then jokes that this is the perfect opportunity for Seiji to go on a date and he, embarrassed, refutes it.
The woman and Seiji are walking along the street (heading to the shrine) a bit later, talking about how Seiji is doing;
she had heard that he was in Tokyo and had thought that he would stay there for college. Seiji talked about living with a roommate, and Youko thought about her college friends and asked Seiji if he kept in touch with his friends. WHAT
Seiji replied that those friends are not the ones to keep in touch with. You stay together, and when everything is finished, you left each other. (Ouch, harsh.) Seiji was afraid to meet the others, because the time they meet, a battle comes with it.
Reiko's ball rolls out onto the street, and she goes after it. Just then a driver, coming too fast, barrels around the
corner.
"Watch out!" screams Seiji, and leaps to push Reiko out of the way; he does, but he gets hit instead.
Reiko is crying with the surprise and shock; the driver is yelping, is Seiji okay?, hang in there! Seiji passes out as
the ambulance siren approaches.
