The innocent seven truths of this girl in the eight directions know very well, and she asked the eight directions to return to the new selection group with her, although she has her own selfish intentions, but it is also because she is worried about the safety of the eight directions.

"How? Come with me? ”

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Qishi asked softly again.

"......" Bafang seemed to hesitate, she stared at Qishi, staring at Qishi even a little hairy, and then the girl who couldn't speak looked away, she no longer looked at Qishi and shook her head.

I don't make knives anymore, and I'm going home to avoid the limelight, and the master is still waiting for me.

She pulled out a handful of assistants and carved the words into the ground with the sharp tip of her knife.

“…… Is it. ”

Qishi also knew that his idea might be difficult to realize, and not to mention that his motives were not pure, even if he ignored this point, it was impossible for Bafang to leave his master for too long, even if that master had passed away.

It's really good to have a solid emotion.

Nanami, can I hire you to protect me for a while? As remuneration.

Happo pointed to the knife he was carrying.

Pick one you like.

"In that case, it's really a good deal."

Nanami muttered and buried her hands in her sleeves, and raised her head, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the shadows of the leaves fell on her face, and her silence seemed to be thinking, but in fact she was just in a daze.

Bafang grabbed the corner of Qishi's clothes and pulled it gently, and after the other party came back to his senses, Bafang tilted his head as if asking, "Okay?" ”

It was so cute.

I have to say that Bafang is obviously not younger than Qishi, but looking at this girl, Qishi can't help but have the idea of being an elder, and he can't think about this kind of thing anymore.

"Ugh." A little tired of smiling, Nanami put his hand on Hagikata's head and gently stroked it twice.

"I'll keep you safe, and you will leave the rest to yourself."

It's better to just go with her.

She already has her own sword, and besides, now she doesn't feel that the sharpness of the blade in her hand can affect her strength, and the time to achieve herself by relying on weapons has long passed for a short time, her Asakiri is the family blade, and Kaga Kiyomitsu is the blade of a friend, both of which are things of meaningful sustenance, sharpness or not is secondary, and it is too luxurious for Nanami to be able to use these two knives to display her skills.

…… Thank you, Bafang also responded simply, there was no push, she didn't understand those false etiquette because her master only taught her what a blade was, and he didn't say a word to Bafang until he left, so the girl only knew that since Qishi said no, then don't give it to her.

Comfortable communication.

"Well, I'll have to delay going back to Kyoto for a while."

Looking in the direction of Kyoto, Nanami muttered to herself.

"Find a place to stay first, and then take turns at night to see where the pursuers are moving, and if it's safe to do so, I'll take you back to Kamakura."

Happo nodded, and then carefully followed Nanami, and the two of them quickly left the place.

When their figures disappeared, a man dressed in black walked out, he was the ninja who had fought against Nagakura Shinpachi in the First World War of Ikedaya in Kyoto, and was also a member of the organization called Umanomu, surnamed Usaki.

"Asakura Nanami ......" The guy who seriously injured the leader.

Why is she around here, and at this time?

Usaki felt a little irritated. Although the mission in Kyoto was completed, their losses were still more than expected, and most of them were the blessings of Toasakura Nanami, and it can be said that none of the people of the Dark Warriors did not know her now.

And now that they have a new commission, they didn't expect to see this woman again, which had to make Usaki's heart murmur a little.

"Let's go back and report to the leader first."

The leader is recovering from his injuries, and there is absolutely no room for error at this moment, and there is no room for chance.

Because the commission that Dark Naiwu accepted this time was not so easy - to kill the executioner and draw the sword.

They decided to implement the plan when the leader recovered.

There is no room for error during this period.

……

……

said that he was looking for a place to stay, but to be honest, Qishi was not so familiar with this area.

It's easy to say pretty things, but it's too difficult to really implement it, and thinking of Higu Kiyojuro, who used to have a place to live wherever she wandered with Nanami and Kenshin, she once again realized another gap between herself and her master.

Bafang honestly followed Qishi, she stopped when Qishi stopped, and she continued to catch up when Qishi walked forward.

It's really hard to imagine that such a well-behaved puppy-like child would have killed so many people at that time. In that encounter a few years ago, Bafang killed many people in order to test the knife, and cut off the bodies of innocent people just to test the sharpness of the knife.

But that's all in the past.

It was overcast, and heavy air was pressed down overhead, penetrating little by little into the lungs and then covering the whole body.

"Looks like it's going to rain."

It doesn't seem like it's going to be a light rain, so it will be troublesome if you don't find a place to hide.

But is there a place nearby where she can hide?

She had thought about going back to find Kenshin, but even then the journey would not be available in a while, and it would be even more unrealistic to find a cave to hide from the rain or something.

The thunder pierced the sky, and the roar followed by Qishi's walk to a river, and she couldn't find anywhere else.

"Can you only hide from the rain under a tree?"

In that case, it will definitely be drenched in soup.

In her hesitation, Nanami's sharp eyes spotted a familiar figure not far from the other side of the river, it was a burly old man, with a white beard but a body stronger than a young man, and she immediately found that it was the leader of the dark martial arts who had fought with her before, and he was a boxer with strong martial arts.

It was really an unexpected encounter, even if this was not what Qishi wanted, her head hurt the moment she saw this old man, and the other party might have really wanted to blow her head up.

When Qishi found him, the old man also saw her, after all, it was a person who practiced martial arts, and his vigilance could not be too bad, and he was also a little surprised, but after being surprised, his expression returned to calm again.

He took two steps back, then jumped straight over the stream.

"Tsk."

Qishi immediately drew his sword and protected Bafang behind him.

The old man walked slowly and unhurriedly in the direction of Qishi, and it seemed that there was no killing intent on his body.

"Little girl, I can actually meet you in this deep mountain and old forest."

"Heh, I'm also surprised...... "Qishi didn't let his guard down at all, since he was there, then his subordinates would definitely not be too far away.

"It's going to rain."

The old man didn't say anything.

"Come, take you to shelter from the rain."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, as if he didn't mean to do anything to Qishi.

What kind of medicine does this guy sell in his gourd?
