"Kenshin!" Iizuka happily found Kenshin, and since he knew how terrible Kenshin was, he was the only one left who could get along with him safely.

"Something?" When Kenshin first came, he had already judged the two of them, and the immaturity on his body was sharpened. Obviously, he only performed two missions, but the impact was great, Iizuka thought, is it really good for such a child to do this kind of task?

"Kenshin, look." Iizuka laughed, then pulled out a musket from his back.

“…… Gun? Kenshin asked

"Someone has supplied the righteous soldiers of our Changzhou Domain, and now we can also be armed with muskets and good knives." Seeing that Kenshin's interest didn't seem to be high, Iizuka couldn't keep laughing heartlessly, patted Kenshin's shoulder and said, "There will be two people behind you in the future, don't carry it alone." ”

"Thank you."

"Say thank you, we're adults, we're embarrassed to let you rush in front of a little ghost."

Yesterday Kenshin went on another mission, and he didn't have the strong mood swings like the first time, and seemed to have accepted his current identity, but after returning Kenshin said to him, "Iizuka, what I did was right?" ”

How did he answer, did he want to tell Kenshin that it was right to kill. But Kenshin didn't wait for Iizuka to give him an answer and went back.

So Iizuka, who felt blocked in his heart and felt uncomfortable, only found Kenshin early this morning, hoping to say something, but after he really saw it, he was still a little short of words.

That kind of powerless comfort is definitely not reassuring.

"When is the next mission?"

"At the beginning, the frequency was not too high, and it was estimated that there would only be one mission in one month or two months...... After all, you are not the only executioner, Kenshin, and you are ...... in other places."

"Executioner, well, that's a fitting title." The boy nodded, as if he agreed with the executioner's title.

Well, Iizuka knows he's messed up again.

———————————————————————————

In July, Kenshin received black letterhead for the third time, and Iizuka said that this time he and another companion would act with Kenshin to support him in the shadows. After all, there have already been two times, and I believe that it is impossible for the shogunate not to react, but those pampered and incompetent samurai are not enough to fight with Kenshin no matter how many comes.

The first two operations had proven that these guys didn't even have the ability to walk under Kenshin's hands.

It will be the same today. When night comes, this new Grim Reaper will be invincible.

The time hadn't come yet, and Kenshin wanted to go to the vicinity of his destination in advance to familiarize himself with the terrain.

The person to be killed this time is said to be a samurai master who killed innocent people on the street, and his status is not high, but he is very rampant. He would go straight to his house and take his head, targeting only the samurai, and then kill all those who stood in his way, and never leave anyone who had seen his appearance behind.

The shops on the street are closed, after all, it is not a thriving area for night markets, and the nights in Kyoto have not been quiet lately.

"Boss, let's have another stack of balls." Passing by a storefront, Kenshin heard something familiar.

"But, girl, we're closing, and it's not been peaceful lately, so girl, you'd better go back early."

"Yes, it's not peaceful."

"......" Kenshin looked at the source of the voice, where the girl stared at him. It's indeed an acquaintance, and Kenshin has never seen her like this.

Asakura Nanami is a seemingly cold but very gentle person in Kenshin's memory, she has never been angry, and can patiently guide Kenshin's swordsmanship to accompany him to practice, and he often misses the food cooked by Nanami when he first came out of the mountain.

The confectionery shop was closed, neither of them spoke, and the only sound of wooden planks closing the door could be heard on the street.

"Let's go, Kenshin, I haven't seen you for a long time, speaking of which, I know you're in Kyoto and I'll look for you outside every night, but Kyoto is too big for me to run through, and I can't enter some places, I'm really distressed, I'm afraid of missing you."

"Sister Asakura......

"Coincidence, this thing is subtlely terrifying."

Scarlet Village Kenshin didn't expect to meet her so soon, and it was actually at this time, this place.

There was no light in the storefront, the street was completely dark, the sky was cloudy today, the moon had no intention of showing up, and under the darkness, Kenshin wondered if he had fallen into a nightmare.

"Are you here to kill someone?" Qishi asked, "Kenshin, is the person you killed really a heinous evil demon?" ”

"Don't stop me, Sister Asakura." Kenshin pulled out his sword at Nanami, "Don't stop me!" ”

It's really a decisive draw of the sword, and obviously Qishi didn't say anything.

"If you want to escape, this is your last chance." She walked over to Kenshin, "Come back with me, no matter where you are now, what you are doing, I have a place to stay in Kyoto, you go and stay for two days first, and then I will take care of things and go to the master together." ”

When he killed those twenty people for the first time, Kenshin couldn't turn back, and his wish finally had the possibility of coming true, so no matter how small that possibility was, he wouldn't give up, and if he gave up, then what were those who had already been killed by himself, victims of a childish farce?

If he is already an executioner, then he will always be an executioner until he is slain out of the world of peace. Now the sins will be atoned for!

"Kenshin...... You haven't won me once. ”

Qishi made a move, she was already close enough to Kenshin, and for them who were also practicing the Flying Sword Stream, the distance had narrowed to a certain point and could be ignored, she didn't draw her sword but grabbed Kenshin's blade with her left hand.

"Hmm!" Kenshin wanted to draw his knife and retreat, but his strength was not enough, and Nanami grabbed his knife tightly, and the blood ran down his wrist and left the girl's cuffs wet.

"No progress."

What is it to raise his right arm and smash it down on the blade of the knife and break it in two?

Kenshin's reaction was also beyond ordinary people, and he immediately abandoned the sword and retreated after the blade broke. In this confrontation, Jian Xin knew that his senior sister had grown much more than himself in just a few months, even more than in the past year, and he couldn't stop her, and if he continued like this, he would really lose.

"Go on, you still have a knife." Qishi took the folding blade as a weapon, "If you don't attack, I can only knock you down first and then bring you back." ”

"Kenshin!! Come on!! Iizuka came from behind Kenshin, and he raised his musket and aimed it at Nanami and fired.

The projectile in mid-air was deflected by the folding blade thrown by Qishi, and it didn't even touch the corner of her clothes.

There was actually someone to support, and all the attention was on Kenshin

It's careless.

"What is this...... Bullets are actually, swords, sword heart run, mission failure! Come on. ”

Nanami took Kaga Kiyomitsu in his hand and prepared to continue the pursuit, and then another shot rang out in the dark night. Not from Iizuka, but from her side, on top of those high walls, or on the roof?

There is no point in thinking about it after thinking about the gunshot, and there is no imaginary pain after being shot in the body, but the hands and feet become cold and numb for a moment.

Flying sword flow, flying dragon flash. Seven really threw the knife out, and the knife was given to the sneak attacker.

After hearing the sound of a person falling from a height, she chased two more steps in the direction of Kenshin's escape before falling to the ground with her scabbard in hand.

“…… Kenshin..."The gunfire alarmed the guards, and they were all approaching in this direction, but Kenshin had already run far away and couldn't see him.

"You, wait for me...... "I will definitely arrest you back."

She was shot in the abdomen, but it was impossible to stop the bleeding just by covering it with her hand, and Qishi, who had lost too much blood, fainted.
