Trafford’s Trading Club

A total of fifteen well-equipped light feet, plus two samurai with their own family names, as well as traveling with five people, a maiden, and Miss Yuki of Kondo's family, such reliance cannot be described by exaggeration in the view of the two samurai... even saying it is far from enough!

Though such a formation is sufficient against ordinary bandits, if you encounter evil monsters, it is far from enough to see them… this is an age of monsters.

“Miss Tsukiji, has entered the village of premature rice.” A samurai came by the carriage.

Purple Star lifted the curtains and saw the rice fields next to him that were working, but at this time he looked at the tenant farmer in shock and uncertainty, and said: "Call one of them, I have some questions to ask. ”

“Yes!” The samurai nodded and walked to the paddy field.

Soon after, the samurai returned with a panic but calm middle-aged tenant farmer, “Answer Miss Yuki's question! ”

“Yes… yes, my lord!” The tenant farmer could not even lift his head and knelt directly in front of the carriage.

Purple Star has nothing to do with such an action… As a true monster and a proud young lord of the coyote clan, she is a respected being - one who has seen too much on her knees, let alone a foolish human being.

“Where is the Nagata?” Purple Star asked directly.

”" It's about three miles ahead, "said the tenant farmer.

The tenant farmer carefully said that he feared that there was something wrong with him. He really couldn't figure out who would go to Master Nagato... watching the motorcade depended on him is more powerful than Mr. Nagato's house.

Purple Star nodded quickly, letting the samurai take him down, and then instructed another samurai in front to head towards the Long Gate house.

“This is for you! ”

The samurai threw a little money in front of the tenant farmer, who naturally gratefully took over and watched a group of people leave slowly.

It's just that the tenant farmer looked at the rather heavy little purse and was supposed to be happy but could not be happy. He shook his head and threw the money bag into the basket at will. He put it next to the paddy field and wasn't afraid of anyone taking it quietly.

For the people of Early Rice Village, more wealth is less than three meals a day - after all, they cannot leave the village.

And in the village, you can be self-sufficient… there's nothing to crave.

……

Nagato, the mansion.

When Yuki Kondo's convoy was parked in front of the door, he had seen Master Nagato and other people standing in front of the door... Some of his men were even in a rush, and wanted to come to this kind of greeting, unprepared.

“Are you the head of the Nagato family? ”

Kondo's samurai took a step forward and asked in a cheerful manner.

Master Changmen nodded respectfully and said quickly: "I didn't know Miss Moonshine was coming. Only when the next person saw the Kondo family's emblem from afar and came to report, did he rush to lead the people to greet them. ”

However, being able to gather so many people in a very short period of time and greet them out, although it does not look neat, it is already quite affordable. The Kondo samurai probably knew this too, so he didn't blame it too much. Then he shouted proudly. “Miss Tsukiji is going to stay here for a few days. Go and get ready. ”

Master Nagato naturally wouldn't dare to disobey, but he ordered the last room to be cleaned up - and he had to, because the Kondo family had a large family with Cognac around Mount Farmon. And the place near the village of Early Rice, which the Nagatomen family received, was also given by its ancestors from the Kondo family.

By the way, the name Nagatomen was also given by the Kondo family - so how dare the Nagatomen family say no to the request of Miss Yuki Kondo?

It's just... how did this high princess of the moon suddenly come into this poor country?

Master Nagato frowned deeply for this... He subconsciously thought of Sanro Nagato, is it because of Sanro... Fortunately, after receiving the report from the next person, he hastily asked Sanro Nagato to stay away for a while, so he is not here.

Sanro Nagato claimed that he was injured on the battlefield, so the commander ordered him to go home and cultivate him. He was a samurai who made war efforts... but how could Sanro Nagato's words be better than watching him grow up?

Everything is nothing but a lie from the deserters on the battlefield.

But knowing all this, in order to maintain the reputation of the Nagato clan, Master Nagato had to conceal his desertion status.

As the head of the Nagato family, Nagato is almost the only one qualified to bring someone for the Kondo family princess - but despite this, Nagato still dares not walk side by side with Yuki Kondo, but slows the distance slightly... In this era, the rank is incredibly strict, he dares not go beyond half a step... even if it is only a woman in front of him.

“I wonder why Miss Tsukiji came in person?” Master Nagato asked carefully.

Yuki Kondo... Purple Star is only measuring the courtyard outside the corridor and seems reluctant to answer Master Nagato's question. At this point, Purple Star suddenly stopped and said softly, “Who is that? ”

In the courtyard alone, a little girl was squatting by the pond, while the little girl was with a maid. At first glance, Master Nagato lowered his head in haste: “Miss Tsukiji, that's Tsuruko, the daughter of... Saburo, the younger brother. ”

“Crane... Nagato Crane?” Purple star whispers the name.

“It's Nagato Crane, Miss Tsukiji.” Master Nagato hastily responded… Although he did not know why the Kondo princess would ask so knowingly, he could not ignore what the Kondo princess said.

I heard that the owner of the Kondo family intentionally wanted to choose a son-in-law for Miss Tsukiji... Of course, the son-in-law could not have gotten everything from the Kondo family, but their children did!

So if…

“Crane! ”

At this time, Master Nagato suddenly shouted, then waved. He seemed to want the crane to come, but did not think that the little girl was hiding behind the maid, only dared to probe the little half head, appeared frightened.

Master Nagato frowned and saw that Miss Yue Ji's face was pale. It seemed that there was nothing unhappy about it. She hurried to say: "Miss Yue Ji forgives her sins, Tsuruko, she is too young to understand etiquette, I will definitely discipline her well later. However, I can assure you that Tsuruo is not disliked by Miss Tsukiji, she is just a little scared of strangers. This child has not had a mother since childhood and has not been well cared for, so personality aspects...”

Purple Star said softly: "Is she really just afraid of my stranger? ”

Master Nagato looked at Miss Tsukiji. Rumor has it that Miss Tsukiji is weak, but her gaze is a little more powerful than that of the Kondo family he saw when he was younger... Is it true that the rumors are wrong?

Purple Star's words made Mr. Nagato feel difficult to fight. Mr. Nagato's eyes turned quickly. In the meantime, Nagato's servants came forward and said hastily: "Miss Yue Ji, the room has been cleaned up, please come with me. ”

“Mm-hmm." Purple Star walked in front of him with a pair of sleeves.

Master Nagato relieved himself, but waved at the maid in the courtyard, letting the maid and Nagato crane take away as soon as possible.

At this time, Master Nagato also called another servant, whispering: “Let Shinji come quickly! Make sure he's dressed properly. Don't be embarrassed! ”

After the order was finished, he hastily chased up... As for Nagato-san, since the greeting, let Nagato-san ask him again to advise him not to appear.

In an era when such consultations were less developed, as long as the news blockade was good, it might still be possible to keep it secret, but after all, Kondo family members were afraid to leak the wind.

“This Miss Tsukiji... I can't handle it! ”

Looking back at Yuki Kondo just now, Master Nagato couldn't help but look at himself and think about the possibilities of this princess coming, he was very upset.

Soon after, Purple Star settled in.

At this time, Master Nagato was sitting on his knees in front of the Purple Star, staring down and listening quietly to what the big man had to say. Purple Star asked softly: "Lord Nagato, I wonder if there are any outside villagers in early rice village lately? ”

“Outside villagers?” Master Nagato raised his head and asked carefully: "I wonder why Miss Moonshine asked this question? ”

“You just answer me. ”

Master Changmen said slowly: "As far as I know, no. Early Rice Village is almost at the end of Mount Farmen, and even foot traders rarely return. ”

“Are you sure?” Purple Star looked at Master Nagato again and asked.

This is the same look… this kind of gaze that looks over the clouds. Master Changmen shook his head for some reason and lowered his head: “Perhaps not... after all, I can't always keep an eye on the way into the village. However, please rest assured, I immediately instructed someone to go to the village and ask... I wonder if Miss Yuki is looking for someone? ”

“If the villagers come these days, or the villages already have them, bring them to me.” Purple Star is too lazy to say anything, just say it.

“Yes!” Master Nagato nodded quickly.

At this time, a servant pushed open the door and knelt all the way to Master Nagato's ear. He whispered a few words, and Master Nagato said this: “Miss Moon Ji, it's a dog. He's outside and wants to see you. ”

“No need.” Purple Star waved: “I'm tired, I want to rest, don't let the unnecessary disturb me. ”

“This…” Mr. Nagato hesitated.

But the Kondo samurai said, “Nagato! Didn't you hear what Lord Tsukiji said? Don't back off! ”

“Yes…”

Master Nagato could only leave respectfully and could not resist the immense power of the Kondo family. Outside the door, Makoto Nagato frowned. When he was about to ask, Master Nagato split his head and said, “Get back! ”

Shinji Nagato seemed to want to say something else, but with Master Nagato's horrible eyes, he finally pinched his fist.

He dared not walk with his father, he could only leave this side of the yard alone... but only took two steps, and he saw his uncle, Sanro Nagato.

“Uncle, what are you doing here?” Shinji Nagato asked puzzlingly… he heard some news from the next person, as if his father had asked the uncle not to appear for the time being.

“Isn't it ugly?” Sanro Nagato had a happy face at the moment.

“Uncle Sanro, what are you trying to say?” Shinji Nagato frowned... he didn't like the uncle very much, especially after he came back from the battlefield.

Sanro Nagato shook his head: “I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about your father. When I came out of Miss Kondo's house, my face must have looked awful. ”

“Uncle Sanro, I don't think we should discuss Father here.” Shinji Nagato still frowned: “It is a sin of disrespect not to talk about the head of the Nagato family! And, Uncle Sanro, you're full of alcohol, let's go back and rest. ”

At this time, Nagato Sanro, full of roots, leaned against the wall, with a bottle of wine in his hand and a flap open, was like the wanderers who were flowering in Willow Lane on the Flower Street.

Saburo Nagato took a sip of the bottle and glanced at it as if he was enjoying it. Then he laughed strangely: "Here, my brother is heaven. He has absolute speaking rights, and the whole Nagato family has nothing to disobey him. But he was a little too young this day after all. When the sky hits the sky, that's... that's all. Shinji, look carefully, your father is not as powerful and perfect as you think. ”

“Uncle Sanro, you're really drunk!” Makoto Nagato spoke heavily.

“Really?” Sanro Nagato continued to laugh, but walked around in a daze, "Maybe... living here, sometimes a little confused, is better. Too sober. Instead..."

Instead, what did Shinji Nagato say later, but he couldn't hear... maybe Sanro Nagato didn't finish what he said.

Watching Sanro Nagato eventually disappear at the end of the corridor, Shinji Nagato subconsciously recalled the look of his father's impatient demeanor.

Too small a day...

Shinji Nagato wandered off and suddenly felt that his clothes had been pulled away by something. He looked back and found that it was Nagato Crane.

The little girl only reached the height of his waist. At this time, the little hand held his sleeve, “Play with me...”

“Fuck off!” Shinji Nagato suddenly waved open his hand.

Nagato cranes screamed painfully. The frightened eyes began to give off a hint of fog. Shin Nagato was irritated in his heart. Lifting his feet, he kicked Nagato cranes to the ground. Nagato cranes rolled off the floor and fell into the courtyard outside the corridor.

“Ah... Miss Crane! ”

The maid rushed in alarm and lifted the crane that had been kicked to the ground. All she could see was a little red on the forehead of the crane... It was the wound caused by the forehead hitting the gravel when it landed.

“Young Master Shin, Miss Tsuruko is still young, she ran into you...” The maid held Nagato Tsuruko and looked at the heir of the Nagato family with a trembling voice.

“Humph!” Shinji Nagato coldly said: “Woman, don't get out! Stay in your room! ”

Go ahead, Shinji Nagato threw his sleeve away.

“Miss Tsuruko, are you okay? Come on, I'll take you back for a bandage!” The maid put the Nagato crane down, panicked and tidied the Nagato crane's clothes, and continued to mourn: “Really, how can I do this to you... really... really, does it hurt? ”

“Azumi, play with me. ”

Blood was left on the forehead of the crane of Nagato, falling down from between her eyebrows, forked at the end of the nose beam, like a curved water vein on the map.

Maid... Ahju watched, her nose was sour and she held Nagato tightly, swallowing: “Okay, Ahju plays with Miss Crane. ”

……

……

Purple Star was sitting quietly in the room, while a samurai pushed open the door, kneeling in the hallway outside the door, and said, “Lord Moonshine, we found a spy outside! ”

Purple Star slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, "Spectator? Are you from the Nagato family? ”

”'No,' said the samurai hastily. 'This man called himself Sasaki Kojiro...
