Chapter 166: The new cadre of the Execution Party: Feng Yao·Kama Itachi【6500
】
"This..." After hearing what Sanako said, Chiba Jutaro's expression and tone became slightly out of control, "Sonako, do you really want to be single forever?"
"Brother." Sanako paused, and when she opened her red lips again, she still showed a slight smile to Chiba Jutaro, with a hint of joking in her tone, "This kind of emotional thing,
You can’t force it.”
"You can't force me to fall in love with someone, or directly force me to marry someone, right?"
Chiba Jutaro was choked for a moment and could not say anything to reply to Sanako.
He can only recommend men that he thinks are excellent to Sanako, and try his best to bring them together. He can never force Sanako to marry anyone - this is a bottom line that Chiba Jutaro will never break.
Chiba Jutaro's brows frowned slowly and uncontrollably.
Although the country has long opened its doors and the Edo shogunate has completely liberalized exchanges with foreign countries, the current Japanese society is still generally a feudal society.
On the premise that there are no major problems with one's own conditions, pursuing celibacy in a feudal society... this kind of thinking is a bit too far ahead.
At least Chiba Jutaro would find it difficult to accept that his sister would remain unmarried, childless, and alone for the rest of her life.
There is no pension or welfare system in this era.
Chiba Jutaro couldn't help but think deeply: If Sanako really never marries... what will she do in her later years?
My parents are still alive and I am still young and can still protect and take care of Sanako, but my parents and I cannot take care of Sanako forever.
The more Chiba Jutaro thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened.
At this time, Sanako pressed the hem of her kimono with her bare hands and slowly stood up.
"Brother, I have said everything I want to say."
"In short, brother, please don't add new names to this book."
After saying that, Sanako turned around, walked out of the room with her delicate, white and rosy feet that were faintly visible under her clothes.
Looking at Sanako's leaving figure, Chiba Jutaro, who couldn't help but feel a little depressed because of Sanako's remarks just now, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then put on a self-defeating look, "Ah, I
Don't care." He looked at Sanako in a low voice with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction:
"I have absolutely no interest in things between men and women...Huh, that's what you said."
"You must never come to me mysteriously for help one day in the future and ask me some strange questions."
Having said this, Chiba Jutaro cleared his throat vigorously, then pinched his throat and tried to imitate a very girly and shy tone.
"'Brother, brother, do men prefer women who are good at cooking?'"
As soon as Chiba Jutaro finished speaking, Sanako, who was about to step out of the room, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She quickly stood up, then turned her head and stared at her brother behind her.
Sanako, who usually always stood still, could no longer maintain a dignified posture due to violent mood swings.
She was staring fiercely at Chiba Jutaro with her beautiful eyes wide open, the anger and shame of "an unbearable memory being exposed" appeared in the depths of her eyes.
The delicate, white face and ears were blushing with shame at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at his sister whose ears were turning red, Chiba Jutaro grinned and showed a smile that said "the plan succeeded".
Chiba Jutaro still doesn’t know what the character of his sisters, who they grew up together and have a deep affection for each other, is like?
Sanako has a strong personality. Although she always looks like a "strong woman" on weekdays, she is actually surprisingly thin-skinned. A simple word or action can often make Sanako's whole face turn red with embarrassment.
Sanako's moist red lips kept moving. She seemed to want to say something to Chiba Jutaro, but in the end she seemed to give up the idea of talking to Chiba Jutaro.
She put her eyes away, turned her face back, let out a heavy "hum", and continued to walk out of the room.
However, just as she had time to take two steps forward, Chiba Jutaro's voice sounded again.
"That... Sanako."
Sanako paused again. The blush on her face had not completely dissipated. She asked in an annoyed tone without looking back, "Is there anything else?"
Because Sanako didn't turn around to look at Chiba Jutaro this time, she didn't notice that her brother had slowly put away his "plan succeeded" smile.
"Before you leave, I just...want to make sure."
Chiba Jutaro sighed heavily, then raised his eyes and cast complicated eyes on Sanako.
"You just said you don't like anyone, including Sakamoto Ryoma...is this true?"
"Do you really not like Ryoma Sakamoto?"
Chiba Jutaro, who had been carefully observing Sanako's movements and demeanor, keenly observed that before the words of his question could be finished, Sanako's body visibly stiffened.
Sanako didn't let Chiba Jutaro wait for her reply for too long.
After only a moment, Sanako moved his steps lightly, turned around slowly, and faced Chiba Jutaro.
"Of course what I said is true."
She smiled at her brother again... a smile that reminded people of rain clouds.
She was probably reminiscing... No, that doesn't seem to be the case. Sanako's eyes seemed to be staring into the distance, and there seemed to be some kind of melancholy emotion hidden inside.
This emotion... can be roughly described as "persistence" or "unwillingness".
"No matter how I am, I am not humble enough to continue to like someone who once said to me such excessive words as 'women are too weak' and 'taking you will only tie my hands and feet'."
"I want to take a breath and let Sakamoto-kun see that although I am a girl, I am not weak and let him know that he is wrong... This should be the last emotion I have for Sakamoto-kun now.
Already."
The sound fell and Sanazi stopped talking.
She put away the smile on her face that always made people feel uncomfortable, turned back to the dignified and elegant Miss Sanako, turned around quickly, and walked quickly outside the room without any further pause.
And go.
The slender and delicate figure slowly disappeared from Chiba Jutaro's field of vision.
…
…
Edo, somewhere——
Led by a rather tall man with colorful tattoos on his body, Kamino returned to the empty teahouse that he had visited many times.
There was no furniture, and the only decoration was a screen with a picture of a hundred ghosts walking at night.
In front of this large screen, sat the combination of "Rakshasa and Shimizu Eiichi" that Kamino was very familiar with.
Rakshasa, with a faint smile on his lips, sat cross-legged and carefree.
His favorite sword...a sword with a bare sheath and a bare handle, lying quietly on his right hand.
As for Rakshasa's beloved sword, Shenye had heard of its name by chance: Changyang Zhengzong.
Kamino once had the unsheathed Changyang Zhengzong pointed at his nose by Rakshasa, and he deeply felt how sharp this knife was.
The leader of the "Shimizu Clan" with a huge burn mark on his left cheek: Shimizu Eiichi, is sitting behind Rakshasa on the right side.
When he glanced at Rakshasa and Eiichi Shimizu, Kamino was surprised to find that there was an extra person in the tea room today that he had never seen before.
I saw a young man about 25 years old and quite strong sitting behind and on the left side of Rakshasa.
Kamino had never seen this young man before, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Oh, Kamino-kun. You're here." Seeing Kamino striding into the tea room, Rakshasa grinned and put down the teacup in his hand, "Come on, come and sit."
After Kamino entered the tearoom, the strong man who led Kamino exited the tearoom and gently closed the tearoom door.
"Lord Rakshasa, Lord Qingshui." Kamino sat down in front of Rakshasa respectfully, then bowed to Rakshasa and the others.
Although he didn't know the name or identity of the strange young man sitting behind Kamino, Kamino still saluted him.
At this time, Rakshasa seemed to realize that Shenye did not know anything about the strong young man next to him. He laughed "haha" a few times and reached out to gesture to the strong young man.
"Kamino-kun, before we get down to business, let me first introduce who the person next to me is."
"This is Kamamitachi, one of the cadres of our Punishment Party. For some reasons, he came to Edo two days ago to help me."
After introducing the young man next to him to Kamino, Rakshasa looked at the young man...that is, at Kamaitachi.
"Kamaitachi. This is the leader of the Yi group: Kamino Tatsugoro."
cadre!
When he heard this word from Rakshasa's mouth, Kamino's pupils suddenly shrank.
After cooperating with the Fa Zhi Party for so long, Kamino also learned some basic information about the Fa Zhi Party after going back and forth.
The leaders of the Fa Zun Party and all cadre-level figures will give themselves a code name. And all the code names they use are taken from those vicious monsters in myths and stories.
While using the names of those vicious monsters as their own codenames, the leaders and cadres of the Punishment Party would also tattoo the monster that they used as their codenames on their backs.
Kamaitachi... Even an illiterate person who cannot read a single Chinese character must have heard the name and story of this famous monster to some extent.
The Kamaita is a wind monster in the legend of Koshinetsu, Japan. It will appear in the shape of a whirlwind and attack the people it encounters with its sharp claws like a sickle. Although the victim's skin will be scratched with long wounds, there are only a few small wounds.
I don't feel any pain either.
Although it is not a very scary monster, Kamaitachi is one of the most well-known monsters among the people because its story is widely spread.
Unexpectedly, this young man was one of the cadres of the Fa Zhu Party... This was the first time that Kamino saw a cadre of the Fa Zhu Party other than Rakshasa.
Kamino quickly bowed respectfully to Kamitachi.
Facing Kamano's salute and hello, Kamamitachi just nodded his head expressionlessly, and then looked away. Not only did he not respond to Kamino's greetings, he didn't even look at Kamino.
This person is actually so cold... Kamino, who had a hot face pressed against a cold butt, couldn't help but feel his heart sinking, a little unhappy.
He raised his gaze and carefully observed Kamitachi's face, and found that there was a trace of impatience and irritability hidden deep in Kamitachi's eyes.
"Okay." Rakshasa, who helped Kamano and Kamaitachi introduce each other, stretched hard, "The introductions are done, now... let's talk about business."
"Kamino-kun, why are you looking for me suddenly?"
Yesterday afternoon, Kamino suddenly contacted him and said that he had something important to discuss with him.
Rakshasa always accepted Kamino's request for an audience - because he quite admired this young man who was quite extreme in both his thoughts and behavior.
Seeing Rakshasa asking him directly why he was here, Kamino cleared his throat and straightened his waist a little straighter.
"Lord Rakshasa, I'll get straight to the point."
"Can you please use your power to help me prepare 100... no, 150 bottles of kerosene!"
"Kerosera?" Rakshasa raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Qingshui Eiichi looked surprised like a Rakshasa.
Kamatachi, who had never even looked at Kamino, now squinted his eyes and glanced at Kamino with a meaningful look.
"Kamino-kun." Rakshasa raised his right arm to support his head, with a smile on his lips, "What do you need so much kerosene for? Winter is still far away."
"Lord Rakshasa, you must have heard about it recently, right? The little fox monk and the little cat monk cleared out the den of a certain group of smugglers and found a large amount of kerosene."
"Because of this matter, there are still fire-trading bandits in the south and north offices of Edo, and they are now strictly investigating the smugglers and the trading of fire oil in Edo City."
"To be honest..."
Kamino's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he could be seen gritting his teeth, squeezing out one word after another from the gaps between his clenched teeth.
"The people who bought that batch of kerosene from the group of smugglers that were wiped out by Fox Monk and Cat Monk...were our anti-barbarian group."
As soon as Kamino said this, Rakshasa, Kamitachi and Shimizu Eiichi all changed their expressions slightly.
"It turns out you were the ones who bought that batch of kerosene with that group of smugglers." Rakshasa grinned.
"Thanks to those hateful little fox monks and little cat monks, all the kerosene we spent a lot of money to buy has gone up in smoke." Kamino clenched his teeth even tighter and said.
There was a "squeaky" sound, "Heiemon is such a loser! Thank you for entrusting him with such an important responsibility!"
Heidemon - the name of the birthmark face from whom Aoto copied the "wind sensor".
They complained ferociously, cursing the fire oil that failed to protect them, and the fox monk who caused all the fire oil they bought to disappear. After the cat monk told him, Kamino turned serious again.
"Lord Rakshasa, our anti-barbarian team is going to implement a plan that requires a lot of kerosene."
"The kerosene purchased from Heimon and the others has been reimbursed. We can only find other ways to raise new kerosene."
"Right now, the South and North Offices of Edo and the Huofu Thieves Reform are strictly monitoring the sale of kerosene. It is difficult for us to collect enough kerosene in a short period of time just by relying on our own strength.
"
"Therefore, I want to ask you for help. Please try your best to help us raise 150 bottles of kerosene within 7 days. The price is negotiable!"
Rakshasa narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thoughtful and intriguing light burst out from under his eyelids.
"...Kamino-kun, it's no problem if you ask us to help you raise kerosene."
"but--"
Rakshasa's conversation changed.
"I want to know first what plan you plan to implement."
"I have to decide whether to help you based on the content of your plan."
"After all, in essence...I am a businessman."
Rakshasa grinned, revealing a smile that made people feel uncomfortable.
"We will never engage in loss-making transactions that do nothing to benefit our party."
Seeing that Rakshasa actually asked him to reveal the plan that their anti-barbarian group was preparing to implement, which required a large amount of fire oil, a shadow of hesitation flashed across Kamino's eyes.
However, the hesitation in his eyes dissipated quite quickly. After just a moment, Kamino took a deep breath and said softly:
"……I see."
…
Kamino told them their plan in a tone that was neither urgent nor slow, neither serious nor serious.
Rakshasa and the others listened quietly, leaving only Kamino's voice echoing in this spacious tea room.
After about half a stick of incense, Kamino finished explaining their plan.
When Kamino finished his words, the expressions of Rakshasa and others showed completely different changes.
Qingshui Rongyi frowned.
Kamaitai glanced at Kamino a few more times with a surprised look on his face.
Rakshasa was startled for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha! Not bad, Kamino-kun, you are very brave, you actually plan to attack that place!"
"Interesting! Interesting!"
Rakshasa laughed loudly and clapped vigorously several times.
"Okay! I'm sure! Let's help you raise kerosene!"
"Eiichi."
Rakshasa turned his head and looked at Eiichi Shimizu who was sitting behind him on his right side.
After Rakshasa looked over, Qing Shuirong quickly put his hands on the ground humbly and lowered his body.
"Kamino-kun, he wants us to help them raise 150 bottles of fire oil within 7 days... Do you have a way to complete this task?"
Qing Shuirong raised the corner of his mouth and showed a confident smile:
"Lord Rakshasa, this task is too simple for us, the Qingshui Clan."
"Others are afraid of the practice and the thieves who will change it, but we, the Qingshui Clan, are not afraid."
"It doesn't take 7 days, it only takes 5 days... No, it only takes 4 days! I can present 150 bottles of brand new kerosene in front of you!"
"Yes." Rakshasa nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes!" Qingshui Rongyi lowered his head and declared loudly.
At this time, Kamino followed Eiichi Shimizu with a grateful face and bowed his head to Rakshasa: "Master Rakshasa, thank you for your help! I will definitely use the purchase funds in full in the future..."
Before Shenye finished speaking, Rakshasa waved his hand and interrupted Shenye's words: "No need for money. I won't take any of the kerosene."
"Are you going to donate all the kerosene to us?" Kamino was stunned.
"Anyway, lighting this kind of kerosene doesn't cost much." Rakshasa raised an arm to support his head, "But... if I give all the kerosene to you for free, then that's okay.
no."
"I also have conditions here."
"Kamino-kun, after we help you raise the kerosene for free, you must faithfully implement your plan."
"I'm looking forward to your big plan."
That smile that made people feel uncomfortable appeared on Rakshasa's cheeks again.
"I was looking forward to seeing you burn that area to ashes, so I decided to help you raise kerosene."
"So... don't let me find out that you took things and didn't do anything."
Rakshasa didn't say a single threatening word in the entire article. On the contrary, the tone he used when he spoke just now was always very kind.
But such a kind words made a drop of cold sweat break out on Kamino's forehead.
"This, this is natural! Our anti-barbarian group has been preparing for this plan for a long time!"
"It is our long-cherished wish to burn that hateful area to ashes!"
"If possible, our anti-barbarian group would like to burn that area down today and kill all the people living there!"
Rakshasa smiled and nodded: "That's good."
At this time, Rakshasa recalled something and began to laugh meaningfully.
"Kamino-kun, when you attacked the Fanshu Diao Institute, you had a bad encounter with Ju Qingden. I thought you would launch a fierce revenge on Ju Qingden later, but I didn't expect that you did nothing.
…It surprised me a little.”
Tachibana Aoden... Hearing this name, Kamino's pupils immediately shrank slightly and his expression suddenly changed.
"...After the battle at the Fanshu Diao Institute, I did think about launching sharp revenge against Tachibana Aoden." Kamino said slowly and with a deep voice, "But I finally resisted this idea."
"Compared to the great cause of our anti-barbarian group, a small Orange Qingdeng is nothing!"
"After the failed sneak attack on the Fan Shu Tiao Institute, the strength of our anti-barbarian group has been greatly weakened. We must no longer waste precious manpower and material resources on places where we can postpone the processing."
"Mobilizing all the strength to take revenge on Ju Qingden will only result in a small loss and a big loss."
"As long as we can complete our great mission of getting rid of the barbarians, it doesn't matter whether it's Ju Qingden or anything else... I can tolerate it for the time being!"
After finishing speaking, Kamino, who was gnashing his teeth angrily, flashed his eyes - a stream of light called "madness" and "paranoia" surged crazily in his pupils.
Seeing Kamino's appearance, Rakshasa's already grinning mouth opened wider - his expression seemed to be seeing some extremely beautiful scenery.
…
…
After watching Kamino leave, three people returned to the huge tea room.
"...You actually want to attack that place...What a crazy guy." Qingshui Rong stared straight at the direction Kamino left.
"Hoho." Rakshasa chuckled a few times, "Eiichi, being bold and crazy is one of Kamino-kun's few advantages."
Rakshasa grabbed the tea cup in front of him and sipped the tea in the cup, a flash of thinking flashed in his eyes.
When he put the teacup back to its original position, he turned his head and looked at Kamitachi beside him.
"Kamaitachi."
"What to do?" Kamitachi glared back at Rakshasa with an unkind expression.
"Anyway, you are idle now. Let me give you a task - to secretly protect Kamino-kun."
"Concealment is your specialty, and this task is just right for you."
"Ha?" Kamitachi's face suddenly darkened, "Protect that Kamino? Why?"
"Because Kamino-kun is a talent that I admire very much." Rakshasa smiled lightly, "As you know, I love talents the most. When I see valuable talents, I always want to take them under my command."
"In the south and north execution offices of Edo, there are also Huofu Thieves Kai who are vigorously searching for the anti-barbarian group. Although Kamino-kun has done a pretty good job of keeping secrets, no one from the execution office and Huofu Thieves Kai has discovered them until now.
It is a stronghold of the Yi group, but there is always a sparse one within a hundred meters."
"It would be a pity if such a talented person died prematurely."
"So you go and help me protect Kamino-kun secretly. As long as Kamino-kun doesn't die, you can do whatever you want with the rest."
Kamitachi stared at Rakshasa's face with a gloomy expression.
After about two breaths, he stood up with a "hoo" and looked down at Rakshasa.
"Rakshasa, who the hell do you think you are? Why are you giving orders to me? Do you think you are Lord Orochi or Lord Otakemaru?"
The atmosphere in the tea room suddenly became suffocating.
