Saito clenched his sword tightly, frowned, and glanced left and right at the group of warriors who surrounded him and Aoto.
Qingdeng's brows also frowned at this time.
He picked up the knife and helped the three women in his arms to stand up: "...Who are you?"
The fat white warrior was originally very aggressive, but after seeing the inrō of the Edo Administrative Office on Qingto's right waist and the juju with red tassels on it, his expression immediately froze: "Huh? You are Jiang
Does the household practice the 'Three Chapters' of unity?"
"Mr. Komuro!"
At this time, Kinoshita Mai took the lead to stand up.
She stretched out her arms and stepped in front of Qingdeng.
"You misunderstood! These two gentlemen are not bad people!"
The European and American girl said after Mai Kinoshita: "Yes! You misunderstood! It was these two gentlemen who just saved us! They are not bad people!"
The girl obviously has the face of an extremely standard European and American girl, but she can speak such fluent and standard Japanese...
Her accent is so standard that if you don't look at her face, it would be difficult to imagine that this is Japanese spoken by a foreigner.
The fat, white samurai known as "Komuro" looked at Mai Kinoshita in surprise, then looked at the Western girl, and finally turned his scrutiny back to Aoto...
"...I'm sorry. It seems that I misunderstood and mistook you for being thieves who want to harm Miss Angoulême and the others. I'm sorry." Xiaoshi apologized to Qingden in a deep voice, while also addressing the surrounding people.
The subordinates waved their hands.
Receiving Komuro's gesture reminder, the warriors who were surrounding Qing Zhai sheathed their swords or removed their hands from the handles.
The tense atmosphere that originally filled the air suddenly dissipated.
Although Komuro and others had lifted their hostility, Saito still held the knife in his hand and guarded Qingto tightly.
"...Tachibana, are your legs okay?" Saito glanced at Aoto's legs from the corner of his eye, which he was protecting behind him.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. When I was learning to cook, the wound I made on my hand was deeper than this." Qingden lowered his eyes and looked at the right leg that was cut just now.
The wound was not deep, but it was not shallow either. The blood flowing from the wound had flowed down his leg and onto the instep of his right foot and the ground.
The leg matter can be dealt with slowly later.
The most important thing now is to negotiate with the people in front of us who speak with Osaka accents and find out what is going on.
Aoto handed the sword from his right hand to his left hand and pressed the wound on his leg with his right hand: "I am Tachibana Aoto, Tachibana Aoto, Edo Kitabansho Town. May I ask who I am?"
"I am the subordinate of Osaka Castle, Chuichiro Komuro." Komuro lifted up Haori's right hem, revealing an Osaka Prefecture seal hanging on his right waist.
People from Osaka Castle?
Qingdeng's brows frowned slightly.
He opened his mouth and was about to start further negotiations with Xiao Shi——
"Young Master, Miss Angoulême, Miss Leroy, I have finally found you."
An old voice drifted faintly from the distance behind the small room.
An old man who looked to be 80 or 90 years old and wearing a pair of glasses walked toward Qingdeng and the others at a leisurely pace.
"Boss Kiryu...?" Qingto subconsciously murmured the old man's name.
The old man was the one who introduced Qingto to the job agency, the job agency: Kiryu Kazuma, the owner of Senshiya.
"Hey..." Kiryu noticed Aonto and Saito in the encirclement at this time, "I remember... you are Tachibana-kun who visited our store just a few days ago, right? Why are you here?"
"Mr. Kiryu!" Kinoshita Mai immediately showed excitement upon seeing Kiryu.
However, after the excitement on her face, Kinoshita Mai seemed to have remembered something, her face froze with excitement and she shrank her neck.
"...Young Master." The eyes behind Kiryu's lenses looked at Mai Kinoshita with a meaningful look, "You...will explain to me later - how did you get along with Miss Angoulême and Le
Miss Roy ran out."
…
…
On an inconspicuous hillside not far from Fujisawa-juku——
"Aha……"
Suehiro, whose status and strength in the anti-barbarian group is second only to Kamino, was given an important task by Kamino this time. Suehiro, who was fully responsible for the assassination of Anthony and Elodie, stood on the hillside under a tree that had not yet withered.
Under the big tree.
He crossed his legs, opened his mouth slightly, and exhaled a breath of thick air.
I saw that he was holding a two-room gun with a body painted dark green in both hands. His small eyes were half-opened, and the tip of the gun and his line of sight were pointed diagonally in front of him.
"Jian" is a unit of length in ancient Japan. One room is approximately equal to 1.818 meters. The so-called "two room gun" is a long gun that is two rooms long. It is a very common long weapon in ancient Japan.
Suehiro has a height that is very characteristic of this era - his height is no more or less, exactly 1.5 meters.
Suehiro, who was only 1.5 meters tall, was carrying a spear that was nearly 3.7 meters long...it was indescribably weird and inconsistent.
It's like seeing a child wearing adult clothes.
However, Suehiro was able to grasp such a large gun that was incompatible with his height without any difficulty.
Suehiro held the big spear tightly and steadily, as if it was integrated with the spear.
One person shot at a time, and they just kept standing still.
After a long time, a breeze came.
The wind blows and the leaves fall.
This breeze shook a few leaves from the big tree above Suehiro's head that had not yet withered.
A fallen leaf floated in the wind and landed on the tip of the spear in Suehiro's hand...
Suehiro's eyes, which had been half-open, suddenly widened!
"drink!"
He shouted loudly, straightened his waist and exerted his strength, and swung the two spears in his palm upwards. The fallen leaf that fell on the tip of the spear was split into two by the sharp blade of the spear.
The fallen leaves, which were evenly divided into two halves, fell in two different directions.
Suehiro's offensive has not stopped yet.
He let out another loud shout, turned the gun body, and the tip of the gun drew a beautiful arc, further cutting the fallen leaf that had been divided into two halves into 4 pieces...
Suehiro's marksmanship can be regarded as an explanation of what "accuracy" and "stability" are.
The tip of the spear passed over the piece again and again, cutting it into smaller and smaller pieces.
Finally - when all the leaf fragments fell to the ground, the fallen leaf was cut into eight pieces...
Looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, Suehiro put the gun in his palm to his side and let out a sigh of regret:
"Sigh... It's really difficult to chop the leaves into more than 10 pieces before they fall to the ground..."
"Mr. Suehiro! Your Hohoin-style spear skills have become much better than before!"
"Oh...it's Yamada." Suehiro smiled at a young man behind him who was striding towards him, "Well...if we talk about progress, there has indeed been some progress."
"In the past, we could only cut the leaves into 6 pieces before they fell to the ground. Now we can cut them into 8 pieces."
Yamada smiled at Suehiro: "Mr. Suehiro, you are indeed very powerful. If you continue to improve at this rate, it is not impossible for you to become a spear master in the future."
"What's the use of becoming a spear master? It's no longer an era when one can rise to the top by relying on military merit."
Suehiro smiled bitterly and looked at the spear that was more than twice as tall as he was leaning on his side.
"Sigh... I just wish I wasn't born in the troubled times of the Warring States Period 300 years ago."
"If it were the troubled times of the Warring States Period 300 years ago, it would not be impossible for me and my 'Fukiri' to achieve fame and become the masters of a city and a place, just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi's '
Jiyue's seven guns are the same!"
