"Nagasaki, I remember going there once when I was a kid."

When the fog cleared and it was time for the ship to leave the port, Nanami asked Sakagami, who said that their caravan had no anchor in the port of Nagasaki, and that if they wanted to transport the goods to Nagasaki, they had to rent a horse-drawn carriage to transport them, and the journey was not long, but they had to rely on her to protect them on the way to Nagasaki.

During this time on the boat, Sakagami let the two girls have a good rest.

Nanami put down the course he had studied, and Yuuka had no work on his hands, so after getting on the boat, the two of them did not enter the cabin and simply stayed on the deck and leaned against the railing and began to chat casually.

"At that time, I accompanied my father."

Yuuka took a deep breath, she hadn't smelled the smell of sea water in a long time.

"With your father?"

"Yes, I didn't spend a lot of time in Nagasaki, only two days, but it was a lot of fun."

At that time, it seemed that not long after the attack of the black ship, Asakura Hayato suddenly decided to go to Nagasaki, and Nanami also tried to ask him why he went, but his answer at that time is now that Nanami can't recall it for a while.

"Is Nanami's father okay now? Your swordsmanship was also inherited from your father? ”

"No, my father has been dead for many years, and I haven't gone to visit his grave for so many years."

Qishi's parents were buried in that isolated paradise, and after setting up a grave for her mother with her master, she never went back even once.

"This time, I'm going back to Nagasaki and visiting my father along the way."

"Yuuka's father has also passed away......?"

Qishi asked a nonsense.

"It was self-defeating, and they all said that it was because of business failure, and it collapsed because of huge debts." Yuuka's tone is not fluctuating, and when she mentions the death of a loved one, she is like mentioning a yellowed fallen leaf, which seems to have nothing to do with her.

"But I know it's for other reasons."

Yuuka knew that Kirikiri Kiriyuki was forced to die.

―――――――――――1853.7―――――――――――――――

Reiko takes Asakura to the port, where Kiriyuki Kirikiri and Hayato Aakura avoid everyone else, and then just the two of them talk at Kikiyuki's meeting place.

"I invite you to come this time, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

It is true that the Kikiri family is not a samurai family, at least on the surface, but how can they just get a large share of the profits in Nagasaki's business if they are just a wealthy businessman? Even with foreigners, there are many contacts.

It would be impossible to say that there is no one behind the Kikiri family, so the person who supports their family's livelihood in Nagasaki is none other than Asakura Hayato.

In other words, it is Asakura's hand that Asakura arranged in Nagasaki, and he is doing problems for Asakura that cannot be solved by himself.

"Please take a look at these."

Kirikiri took out a thick layer of materials, blueprints, and books from the dark layer of the bookcase, and put them all in front of Falato.

"It's only been a few days, and you're coming from a black ship?"

In the past, the Kikiri family disguised themselves as ordinary wealthy merchants, ostensibly selling seafood specialties or trading light industrial products with foreigners, but in fact, the Kikiri family has been doing one thing for Asakura, which is to collect information about muskets and artillery, and then provide it to the Asakura family, which is very difficult and disgraceful.

These things are all handled by Kirikiri.

He tied his head to the waistband of his trousers to do things, in exchange for a little progress in the artillery technology of the Asakura family, when the black ship attacked, there were only twenty guns in Edo Castle that could be compared to the firepower of the black ship, but if there was no Kirikiri, then it can be said that these twenty artillery guns would not have survived.

In addition to the design drawings, this room also contains samples of muskets, all of which are rare and precious materials.

Asakura Hayato couldn't imagine what Kirikiru had paid to get this qiē.

"I'm sorry for you, Jiyuki." I have to say that the value of these things brought by the fog at this juncture is absolutely immeasurable.

"These are all things that I have brought to adults, and in the meantime, let me advise you this time."

"Say it." Hayato nodded.

"You, run away with your family." "As your retainer, I have to remind you of something. ”

After the Black Ship Incident, the shogunate began to encroach on the business of the harbor little by little, making it clear that they didn't want anything to go wrong at this moment, and they had begun to build a system that belonged only to the shogunate, and it was time to rectify some things.

"You, after all, don't have the surname Tokugawa...... And you just have so much. ”

Since ancient times, those who wield force have stood on the cusp.

"I'm mentally prepared for this."

Although Hayato is young, he has not been in this position for a short time, and his basic sense of smell is not bad.

"I want to give all the technology left by the Asakura family to the shogunate."

Kirikiri never expected Hayato to say such a thing.

"Absolutely not!" Get up.

“？”

His reaction was too intense, and Ji Zhi retreated

"I'm sorry."

"Please forgive me for saying more, but it is absolutely impossible to hand over the roots of Asakura, if you hold these technologies in your hands, there is still a surviving one of the Asakura family, if you lose even firearms, then the Asakura family will definitely perish! The reason why I invited you so soon after the arrival of the Black Ship was to give these things to you, the master of the house, and on the other hand, there was an arrogant request. ”

Kiyuki knelt down.

He paused word by word, and pronounced words clearly

"Instead of waiting for the destruction of Miè, it is better to rise up, and I, the Fog Cutting Family, swear to follow in the footsteps of Asakura, and always be the shadow of Asakura!"

"Please, stand up at this time!"

Asakura Hayato didn't speak, he walked out the door, and after a while, the guards of the Asakura family came in and took away the drawings and guns, but Hayato didn't answer Kiyuki's words.

The conversation was fruitless.

Parrot: Readers, thank you for liking this book, I didn't expect that so many people would come to read this novel when I was preparing for the transformation of Kenshin as the theme code.

The plot in the text, the creation of characters, etc., as a newcomer, I can't handle it well, so some of the content does seem to be despising the reader's IQ, but it is trying my best to come up with it, I hope you don't mind.

This bad work,I'll write it well in the next time.,To finish.,Thank you for your support.。
