"That's right, Asakura went to Ikedaya by herself."
After a temporary inquiring to no avail, the Director-General found Isamu Kondo, and there were some things that had to be reported to him.
"That's right."
"There shouldn't be any problems with her words, but it's a good thing that Nanami Asakura can take the initiative to do something this time."
Isamu Kondo was not surprised when he heard the news of Nanami's unauthorized action, but was quickly relieved.
"She never causes unnecessary trouble to anyone, she only has this advantage in addition to her terrible talent, and she can be very accurate about her positioning."
It's not that he is not impulsive at all, but now that he is moving forward for a purpose, Isamu Kondo knows that people who have a purpose, whether they are men or women, will always do their best to achieve that goal.
"Then have you always been suspicious of the Eagle Palace?" The Director-General asked.
His head is not an elm head that is bent on dying, and he can make his own judgment through what Isamu Kondo says.
"Serizawa-kun is a frank and good person......" Kondo didn't answer his question directly, and after a slight pause, Kondo began to recall his deceased friend.
"I don't know when it became difficult for me to be as upright as Serizawa-kun and trust others wholeheartedly."
“……”
"In addition to what is recorded in the ledger, there may be something that we don't know is hidden."
It is indeed impossible for the general secretary of Okita to find a flaw in the bills on the surface. All the beloved of the Eagle Palace that can be buried have already buried them.
"Captain of the Shinsengumi Ichiban team, Soji Okita!"
"In!"
Isamu Kondo ordered
"Send the order down, let the second and fourth teams break into Ikedaya on time, and the others hide in the dark, and then catch all the rats who have been fooled."
……
……
The inn had clearly gone through some years, the wooden staircase and the floor of the hallway, although clean, had been a little decayed by the test of time. This decay is manifested at the feet of Qishi through the ** sound of "crunch" and "crunch".
Silence is terrible.
Qishi looked around vigilantly, but he couldn't detect the breath of a person.
“……”
The long knife that was inconvenient to carry was left outside, and now Nanami's robe was wrapped in a musket and a short knife, which was a weapon more suitable for fighting in a small space than a sword that required the use of hands and feet, and with these she was already confident that no one would be able to leave it behind.
"Tsk." Nothing was found on this level.
There is one last layer left.
In fact, at this point, Qishi can basically be sure that the high-level people of the Changzhou Fan Restoration will gather here is just a joke, but she thinks that it is not possible to recklessly draw results without exploring all the buildings. No one can say whether there will be any secret door here, just like the former Asakura Mansion, where the sharp blade that leaves no room is hidden in an unknown place.
Walking towards the stairs on the third floor, Nanami suddenly felt some viscous liquid on his feet when he walked around the corner.
"This ......"
The disgusting smell of blood.
When you look up, you can see that the building has gradually become dark at night, and there is a pool of blood that has gathered from the upper floor down the staircase under this vague and unreal staircase.
Seeing this, it will be difficult to quit even if you want to. Nanami thought helplessly, and then ignoring the increasingly strong smell of blood, she walked up to the third layer.
The higher you go, the more you can feel the force that oppresses your heart.
"Dead people, don't reveal any secrets."
Is that so? Eagle no palace beloved.
Nanami could almost guess what he could see when he climbed the stairs.
The blood-soaked stairs seemed to be dumb, and there was no sound at all before Nanami came to the end, was it because he was afraid? Or is it the awe of something indescribable.
Then what appeared in front of her in front of her was a silent hell.
"I see."
Rotting or fresh corpses, piled up in a mess, tattered and emaciated, none of these people had a good meal before they died.
"Outcasts." People who are trapped in life and have nothing to rely on.
A pungent and disgusting smell filled Nanami's nostrils, but instead of covering her mouth and nose, she continued to walk to the room inside.
"Foreigner...... Is it? ”
Among the corpses were blonde foreigners, although only a few, but these guys in good clothes did die here.
“…… In English? ”
Nanami crouched down and rummaged through the pockets of the corpses to see if he could find anything to prove their identity.
"It feels like it's different...... it's a little different from the English content in her memory, but there are some things she can still recognize. Arabic numerals also include the name of the item.
"Merchant?"
Some of the dead were foreign merchants.
"Magellan, eaten by the natives...... Hehe. "She deliberately left this for me to see, and she was really confident.
Through one person after another, the goods were brought into Kyoto, and the guys who bought foreign countries avoided the customs records...... It's no wonder that the hidden transaction records can't be found.
The records of the transactions are all dead, how can they be found?
"Doesn't the face change color? The little girl of the Shinsengumi. ”
Huge black claws stretched out from the balcony and grabbed Nanami's head in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Qishi's reaction was far beyond ordinary people, but this claw still left a scar on her forehead.
"Dark Naiwu, you really ......"
The blow from behind interrupted Nanami's words, and she pulled out her short knife to block the punch, but the scabbard was cracked.
"Hehe, I have to serve the old man."
It was already completely dark, and because of the martial law of the Shinsengumi, the surrounding area was not affected by the memorial service, and it became a dark time of isolation.
"Are you going to kill me here?"
Qishi drew his knife and unfolded his posture.
"No, although the old man is very confident in his fists, he still can't kill you."
"So, it's going to hold me back......"
"That's right, hold you back before the Shinsengumi break in."
Takanomiya beloved...... She really has a connection with the people of the king of Changzhou, and the woman's teacher is Katsukaishu, and the love of the Eagle Palace, who is the same as Sakamoto Ryoma, naturally has a friendship with Katsura Kogoro, who is also committed to the restoration of Sakamoto Ryoma.
Although Katsu Kaishu is a shogunate, his students are all so restless.
"If I can't even drag you down, the old man might as well die."
Appearing next to the old man who was good at boxing was the person who had just sneaked up on her with a strange deformed arm.
"But, I have to admit that women are terrible now, hahahaha."
It turned out that the guy knew what he was thinking so well.
"I should have killed her."
Qishi pulled out his gun.
"Old man, get out of the way!"
Suddenly, the oil lamps in the Ikedaya were lit, and the entire inn seemed to come alive.
"Get out of the way!" Nanami fired.
Outside Ikedaya, the Shinsengumi Second and Fourth teams begin to break in, but what awaits them is definitely not the useless high-level who can be slaughtered, but the murderous ghosts who can hide in the darkness and light the lights out of Nanami's detection.
The bloody battle of Ikedaya officially broke out amid the sound of gunfire.
