051 Ikedaya(6)
Intuition is sometimes hard to tell.
On the surface, the members of the Shinsengumi are still carrying out ordinary patrol tasks, but in fact, they are purposefully searching and eliminating them, and they are searching the places in Kyoto Castle where possible gatherings may be held, and they are also waiting for the night to fall.
"No, the prayer garden festival is not over yet, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons." The captain of the second team, Nagakura Shinpachi, said that like the deceased Serizawa duck, he was the same as the Shinto Thoughtless Stream, and he was a man with superb swordsmanship...... Nanami thinks he's a stubborn and righteous man, a standard samurai character, and if there's anyone in the Shinsengumi who disapproves of Takanomiya's approach the most, it's this man.
Assassinations, sneak attacks, and fraud, he can't get used to it, but after all, Shinpachi Nagakura obeyed Isamu Kondo's arrangement. Obeying the orders of superiors and knowing how to endure is even more valuable.
It's not pedantic, it's just loyalty.
"It's a little difficult to put the time of chaos in the memorial service." Yamanan Keisuke knew that the current search would be difficult to use, and as time went by, it would be even more difficult to find any clues when the night festival began.
"How's the Ichiban team?" Shannan turned his head and asked the men who followed him.
"The Ichiban and No. 4 teams had already ambushed near Ikedaya, but they didn't get close to Ikedaya, and everyone changed into ordinary people's clothes to avoid startling the snakes."
"I hope they can calm down."
On the side of the Ichiban team, the physical condition of the Okita Soji, Yamanan thought of the Soji, and involuntarily sank his face and muttered in his heart, even Kondo was against the Soji's attack today, and if it really didn't work, the Ichiban team could also be temporarily handed over to Nanami to lead.
However, the Director-General rejected the suggestions of others.
"Tsk, I hope you carry it through today."
As long as everything goes well today, then life will be fine for a long time to come.
Just survive today.
"Continue the search, don't let go of any suspicious person, and report it as soon as you find information related to the Ronin of the Fallen Shogun."
Now, each has its own job.
……
……
"Sometimes, my instincts are very accurate."
Nanami didn't pretend to be a civilian, she wasn't close to Ikedaya, and like the head office, she was waiting for the people in front of her to bring back useful information, and it was only then that she really needed to show her strength.
"Especially when you're nervous."
After a long absence, Qishi felt a sense of tension, the oppression like being choked by someone's throat The last time I felt it was maybe when I was caught by human traffickers and chased by thieves.
"Are you scared?"
The head secretary asked, standing on the right side of Qishi.
"I'm not even afraid of bullets and gunpowder...... "I used to think that there was nothing more terrible in the world than this kind of thing, but now I am not afraid."
"Director-General, I'm going to take a look at Ikedaya."
"Why?"
The general director of Qishi is very puzzled by this request, and now he is dressed like this, isn't he just startling the snake?
Tell the people of the Curtain Sect that we Shinsengumi are here to smell you! Hurry up and change places!
You must know that as one of the few women with very high achievements in swordsmanship, Nanami has gradually gained some fame in Kyoto, not to mention that everyone knows her, but it is too blatant for her to break into other people's evening meeting places.
"My instincts tell me that Takanomiya is not a businessman."
Qishi said, her tone was very firm.
"She's a hunter who hasn't found her prey yet."
“…… Hunter? ”
"Lone hunter."
When she saw her beloved for the first time, she should have understood that the eyes of the girl who seemed to be gentle and dressed like a Nadeshiko were so boring, and she was so dissatisfied with her surroundings.
Beloved wants to get out of this era.
"Director-General, Takanomiya doesn't like this country." Same as yourself.
The person the girl wanted to catch was Nanami.
It seems that the resonance of the soul is true, and the love at that time should have been felt, so she asked Qishi later - why do you want to learn swords.
"She thought I was going to change the world."
It's a pity that Asakura Nanami is not such a person with such big ambitions.
"I don't know what you mean, but what you're trying to say is that Ikedaya is a trap."
"Director-General, I need you to help me with something." Qishi didn't directly affirm it, these were just a little guesses of her own, and there was no direct evidence
"Check out the details of the goods that the Takanomiya family has brought into Kyoto...... "The head secretary is also a smart person, so he naturally knows what Nanami wants to say."
"Not only from the Eagle Palace, but also from all the merchants under its name."
Since the beloved can do business with the Shinsengumi, it is not impossible to make a deal with the fallen people of Choshu.
"Words of mouth are never as reliable as data."
"It's probably too late now, I'll try my best to find it, so what about you?"
The general secretary asked Qishi.
"I'll pay a small visit first, and if there is an accident, I'm sure I'll be able to escape myself."
"Take care of yourself."
With that, the two went their separate ways.
……
……
Nanami soon arrives at Ikedaya, which is just a humble inn! She really couldn't see any clues just from the outside, and after looking at it for a while, she decided to go inside first.
"Guest."
Before I entered the door, the proprietress who watched the store greeted me.
"The room has been booked by important guests tonight, and we won't pick up guests today."
"An important guest?"
Nanami wouldn't be stupid enough to come over in Shinsengumi clothes, and now she looks like a wanderer looking for a place to stay.
"Really? Then there is no way, I don't know if I can trouble my mother-in-law to introduce me to some other places to stay. ”
Judging from the premise that all the guests are full, this hotel is too quiet.
Is it that the so-called guests did not arrive, or that there are not so many people who need to be entertained at all.
It's getting a little darker, and if it's not yet...... So is it a real assembly, or is it a trap to invite you into the urn.
"I remember ...... nearby," the mother-in-law was thinking about it, and before she could react, she was silently knocked unconscious by Nanami, and she helped the shopkeeper's body to place it, and then prepared to continue to go in to find out.
Such an action might have ruined the preparations of the Shinsengumi, but Nanami chose to continue to trust his instincts.
On the other hand, the general director still did not find anything wrong, and the bills and accounts were clear, not like there was something to hide.
And the time for the dispatch of the Shinsengumi plan is getting closer and closer.
