Saito's eyes were squinted, a cigarette roll in his mouth, and his body was covered in smoke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of me was a bloody scene, one of Okubo Ritsu's deputies, who was killed at home.

This is the third case this month.

The police department is under tremendous pressure.

The three deceased were all killed by cold weapons, judging from the wounds, it should be a long sword, killing with one blow, clean and neat.

The murderer is a swordsman.

And this technique seems familiar.

"Interesting!" Saito spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth and turned to walk out.

"Hey, Saito, what are you doing?" the police chief was smiling at Okubo Ritsu, and immediately shouted loudly when he saw this scene.

Saito re-lit a cigarette and said without looking back, "It's time to get off work, and my wife is still waiting for me to go back to dinner." ”

"And what about the case here?"

"Case?" Saito turned his head, his eyes flashing with a wolf-like fierce light: "Shouldn't people who want to kill be prepared to be killed a long time ago?"

Okubo Ritsu and the police chief were in a cold sweat.

"Gone. ”

Saito disappeared at the door.

An hour later, he appeared outside Sojiro Seda's house.

Well, I first went home to have dinner with my wife, and then I came over.

A stinky little ghost, of course, is not as good as his wife.

He unceremoniously pushed the door in, and Sojiro Seta stood up in surprise and said, "Mr. Saito, why are you here?"

Saito didn't answer, but glanced at the items on the table.

Bandages, medicine boxes......

"You're hurt?"

"Ah, yes, when I was practicing my sword just now, I accidentally scratched my hand. Sojiro showed the back of his hand, a deep scar on it, and blood was still pouring out.

Saito looked at Sojiro, and Sojiro also looked at Saito, neither of them spoke, but it seemed that there were a thousand words, conveyed through their eyes.

The last Mibu wolf stepped forward quickly, and Sojiro's feet moved, but he couldn't dodge.

Instead of attacking, the other party grabbed his left arm.

Sojiro's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Three of Okubo Ritsu's men have died. Saito said.

"Yes, I read the newspaper. Sojiro nodded: "But what does that have to do with me." ”

"The one who died last night, although he did enough defense, still let the murderer succeed, and the only gain was to injure the other party with a musket. Do you know where the killer was wounded?"

Sojiro shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Saito's strength was even greater.

Sojiro didn't struggle, but looked at him with a smile.

It was so stalemate for a few minutes.

Saito gave a rare laugh, and then threw down an inexplicable sentence: "Good boy!"

How?

Why is it good?

He didn't say anything, but turned and walked away.

Sojiro sat down, gasping for air, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

He carefully took off his coat, and the gunshot wound on his left arm was already dripping with blood.

"Fortunately, it was not discovered by Mr. Saito. He muttered to himself, and began to work on the wound.

Saito, who was on the street, looked at the blood on his hands and snorted coldly: "It's a good wolf cub, but it's still too tender." The smell of blood on your body is clear even a few streets away. ”

He wiped the blood on his body, lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

"Just let me see how far you can go. Don't fall for the name of your master, the inheritor of the Heavenly Sword!"

……

"Kaoru-chan, I have an urgent matter today, so I can't accompany you to the temple to offer incense, I'm sorry!" Sojiro Seta finished speaking, turned around and ran.

"Hey, you make it clear to me!" Kaoru stomped her feet angrily behind her, tears shining in her eyes. She got up before dawn to get dressed, but the other party didn't even look at it, what the hell is going on!?

"Hmph, damn Sojiro, if you don't accompany me, I'll go alone!"

Kaoru wiped her eyes with a snort, and then headed towards the temple on the mountain.

Sojiro also had a hard time saying it, and he received the news that Okubo Ritsu would take a carriage to the office of the imperial government in Shimizu Valley at noon, which was his first trip after being a shrunken turtle for a few months, and it was also an opportunity for him to wait for a long time.

So, I'm sorry, Kaoru-chan, I'll only accompany you next time!

He inherited not only the Heavenly Sword, but also the spirit of the Monkey Wolf.

Protecting this wonderful world is the driving force for him to wield his sword.

For this reason, he would rather incarnate into darkness just to protect the light!

As soon as the words were held in his hand, he was fearless.

He is the famous Heavenly Sword, Sojiro Seda!

……

The mountain road is not easy to walk, especially for Kaoru, who wears a kimono and steps on clogs.

She walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and her mouth kept counting someone.

For the sake of beauty, she gave up lightness, thinking that she would have the support of her sweetheart, but at the moment she was alone.

Tears swirled in his eyes again, but before they could fall, his owner accidentally tripped over a dead tree in the forest.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Kaoru closed his eyes in fear.

But the pain didn't come, and a hand was wrapped around her waist.

A female voice came: "Look what I found, a lonely little girl." ”

Kaoru opened her eyes in surprise, and a beautiful woman with long hair and waist-length hair was looking at her with a smile.

Mountain Monster, or Spirit?

Why is there such an otherworldly woman in this deep mountain?

But none of this mattered, what was this inexplicable intimacy, as if she had known each other for a long time.

The tears in her eyes couldn't hold back any longer, and Kaoru threw herself into the other party's arms and cried.

"Okay, okay, they're all big girls, and it's too ugly to cry...... Hey, don't put snot on my clothes!"

Kaoru was amused, she smelled the familiar smell emanating from the other party, and raised her head embarrassedly.

"I didn't have a snot. ”

The woman shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "No snot, no tears." And it's so beautiful, and it's wearing makeup, and it's not good to look good when you cry. ”

Xiao Kaoru hurriedly took out a small mirror from her arms and hurriedly wiped her tears.

"It's not all to blame that stupid person, who missed the appointment for no reason, so I walked the mountain road alone. ”

The long-haired woman raised her eyebrows: "Your sweetheart?"

Kaoru blushed, but nodded anyway.

The long-haired woman leaned against the trunk of the tree, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said leisurely: "Men, sometimes you have to hide some things from women. But a stubborn old man once said, 'In order to make a woman happy, a man must protect his family, his village, and even the whole world.' So don't blame him, everything he does may or may not be for you. ”

"Well, I don't blame him, and I know that he may be doing something important. It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable, am I a little unreasonable?"

"Fool. The woman smiled: "It's unreasonable, it's the loveliest thing about women." ”

Kaoru's heart was pounding, and her face was hot.

She inexplicably wanted to step forward and hug each other and coquettish each other.

What a strange feeling.

She fanned the wind with her hand and said embarrassedly: "It's only May, and it's already so hot." ”

"yes, I think it's okay. The long-haired woman said indifferently.

"By the way, I don't know what you came up to the mountain for, are you also here to offer incense?"

"Not really. The long-haired woman knocked on the trunk of the tree, and several squirrels came running cheerfully, jumped on top of her head, and huddled together, which was very cute.

"I'm just coming to see some old friends. ”

Kaoru looked at the group of squirrels, and inexplicably felt that what belonged to her had been taken away.

The long-haired woman untied the gourd from her waist and pulled out the stopper, and the aroma of wine wafted out, making Kaoru sniff involuntarily.

"You drink too?"

Xiao Kaoru licked her lips: "Well, I understand a little, but my father and mother have always forbade me to drink." Truth be told, I often stole my father's wine to drink. ”

"Haha!" the long-haired woman laughed and said, "I'm to blame for this." ”

"Blame you?" Kaoru didn't understand.

But the long-haired woman did not answer, but handed over the wine gourd.

"Try my bar. ”

Kaoru wanted to refuse, but she still lost to the gluttonous worm in her stomach, she took it carefully, thanked her, and then looked up and took a bite.

"Hah!

This bite is not small, and her face immediately flushed with a red tide.

"It's strange, it always feels familiar. She said in a daze, "It seems to be...... The taste of childhood. ”

After saying a word, she fell limply.

But just like just now, the long-haired woman grabbed her waist at the right time.

"It's really the same as when I was a child, as long as I drink, I won't make trouble. ”

Or is it drunk?

Whatever, isn't it a kind of happiness to be able to get drunk?

Kaoru was gently placed under a large tree in front of the temple, and the long-haired woman stood up.

"Now, it's time to look after another imp. Really, none of these guys are worry-free!"
