I'll be back in a minute.
That was around the time when two Misty Hidden Talents and Shinokuzo left their companions, and the faces of the remaining Shinobu Maida were making steady progress towards a night raid on Hiranuchi Takasaka.
"I'm going to Kawawa," Akane took off her seat and, not falsely, proceeded to the toilet in the teahouse. But it was obvious if you look at her fox-like sharp eyes and raised mouth angles that it was not meant to do what was to be done in the place.
Compared to a hot indoor, the outside air is cold enough to shine.
In the meantime, when she comes to the front of the bathroom early enough, she rings one bell of her hips with "Lynn". At the same time, I quickly took a piece of paper and arrow (or freshly) (about the ink and brush to carry) out of my belt and wrote it down somewhat as I stood.
And as if she had anticipated the time when she had finished writing, one shadow appeared behind her, all the time. It was one sneak. The sneak, characterised by a large scratch on his forehead, is kneeling in front of his forehead.
"You're here. Then take this..."
I give him the paper without moving at all to the sudden emergence of sneak. The sneaky man took it and quickly put it in his nostalgia. And now he handed the little package to Akane from the sneaker.
When Akane opened the envelope, she smiled delightfully, and a few pieces of silver lit up in the thin light of the moon, glowing black.
"Sure... five pieces of silver. So the other half, after everything's cleared up..."
The sneaky man nodded silently. When Akane narrowed her eyes and said, "Tell Takasaka", she turned her back to her former room.
No one of Shinobu Maida could have realised at this time that this was who she really was. That should be it, too. How can you imagine from her wrapping an unfortunate life around her body, such as her connection to Hiranuchi Takasaka?
But one thing that needs to be revealed and put down is that "she's not one of his men". In addition, to her, he is only one of the few "customers".
In other words, Akane has been rewarded for his success by undertaking various "dark" jobs from Hiranuchi Takasaka.
Once the work is done, it will be out of hand and will not interfere at all with each other's work or lives. And if I could make another new request, I would come close to Akane from Hiranuchi Takasaka.
Neither this time exceeds the brackets of one of the jobs.
Using Hiranuchi Takasaka and Hiranuchi Takasaka, it is a job that successfully directs people to their Negijo, under the following conditions:
- Five pieces of silver at the time you put out those who stand in my way. And I'll pay for five pieces of silver left when I get all of them.
It was.
"Huff... we've lost about two of them... well, we'll see how it goes. This means you can live easy again for a while."
So high, he smiled deeply, but his face went back into the room under the guise of a "good man of thin fortune".
………
……
And then Akane walked into one of the inns where Tozo and Izo Sanho were spending time.
Outside the city of Nagahama, the lamp of life ruthlessly disappeared from the flesh of two people.
The man standing in the center of it, with his blood-stained sneak knife in his right hand, swaying his body loosely as if it were a pneumonia.
It was a fog-concealed talent that, by exposing its fellow citizens to predicament, had lost half its reason and now embodied a ruthless reaper.
Of the three sneaks that he is the chaser of Sanho Izo, he has already turned into an unspeakable deceased with mercy towards the two, poking at the steeple.
And in the hearts of those who stand before their talent, fear seems to prevail over their vengeance, even though they are tragically harmed by the two companions. "How to escape from here," he said, concentrating his consciousness more on his back than in front of him.
But the genius had no intention of letting the sneak escape, nor of letting it live.
"I'm sorry to your Lord, but I didn't have that life when I stood in front of you.
On top of that, you can either tell me everything the Lord knows and drop that neck so hard, or you can finally drop that neck where I told you everything with tears and pains...
You can try it on me, but in the sense of hassle and timelessness, I want you to talk to me if you can. "
While proclaiming so, did you realize that the word had no falsehood against the talent collection, which slowly reduced the distance from the sneak, whose sneak had cemented one resolve?
It's... 'self-harm'...
But...
- Gah!
Having reached that hand at an unstoppable speed in his eyes, Talent did not allow his grievous determination either.
"Gu..."
The sneak of an accidental groan leaking out of your throat. In its mouth...
The right fist of the talent was deeply screwed.
"I won't let you bite your tongue… if you think about anything more unnecessary, you have to hurt your eyes, but are you going to do something about it?"
In a pale and frozen tone, the sneak wept and shook his neck vertically in the talent of making the last announcement.
………
……
Celebration 11 (1606) December 20 (approx. 6: 00 am) -
By the time talent had returned to one of the rooms of the inn, the sky had already begun to whiten. It is clear from the sky, which has changed color from black to purple, that this day is likely to be blessed with sunny weather after hitting and changing from cloudy the day before.
In the meantime, he was the one who came into the room without making a sound or making a sign, but only Shizukuzo pointed his eyes at him and nodded cocklessly. It was a welcome from Tenzo, and he nodded back again, and bowed down next to Tenzo.
In front of them are two painful figures of Sanho Izo, who still does not wake up from the coma, and Akane, who sleeps restlessly with her back turned.
Talent spoke to Tenzo in a whispering voice not to wake them up.
"Today… not yet (roughly 2pm). Many of them are going to the stage. Sneak into Negijo in that gap."
"... but Sasuke and the others are already..."
Shizukuzo cut the words so hard to say. But Giorzo went on without getting her hair in.
"They must still be alive."
"... how do you know?
Talent began to talk about what he had heard from the chaser of YiSan earlier in the inquiry.
It was in Hiranuchi Takasaka's hands.
And the outpouring was such that even Shitokuzo, who usually didn't put much emotion on his face, leaked his voice in amazement.
"Takasaka is going to put the wet clothes of Lord Echimae's murder on" Wind Demons "and" Sasuke's "!
"Hey, what...?
Talent continues in a low voice against Tenzo, who is rounding his thin eyes.
"Hiranuchi Takasaka's aim is not only to harm Lord Echimae.
Doesn't it seem too dangerous to say that we are far from the city in the first place, but that it extends to grand murder in the middle of the day? I felt uncomfortable from the start. "
"Maybe if you say so..."
"To Sasuke and the Wind Demons, stay connected to the ropes and show in front of them how a flavor of Takasaka harms Lord Echimae. Afterwards, Hasa Takasaka also comes out with Sasuke and the others connected by a rope, as if he had captured the bad guy in the curtain. And handed over to the service I had called in advance outside the curtain..."
"Keep going to Edo... you mean..."
"Yeah, there's probably a heavy minister and guys waiting there connected to Takasaka. Whatever Sasuke and the others say, they don't have ears to listen to. And when Sasuke and the others lead the winddemon to assassinate Lord Echimae, they will all be executed there at last..."
"But talent... why is Takasaka so troublesome...?
The Tenzo question is a good one. Even if you don't bother to do this, it shouldn't seem like the opportunity to assassinate Hidekang Nobushiro can be created in an easier way.
All I could say was that there was a "different intention" there. But Talent had already prepared the answer as well. And he answered with a more whispering voice.
"Hiranuchi Takasaka is... Koga"
"Koga..."
"The restoration of Koga... that's what he's after"
In the quiet room, a voice of talent rang as if it were a different wave.
