Edo Castle, Yoshiwara Town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ishimaru Keihachiro Mitsucho held the letter sent to him by Irizawa Shinnai in his hand and touched the back of his head.

"That Fourth Male Highness seems to be going to Kyushu."

"Kyushu? What are you doing all this far? ”

After listening to Ishimaru's report, Oiran Aye, who was dressed in fancy clothes, frowned.

"Running around in that dangerous place...... It's really not worry-free, it's really still a child. ”

"Ah Ye, don't forget, this kid is the leader of the Edo riots, don't underestimate him~"

"I know. But go to Kyushu...... This is really incomprehensible. ”

Ah Ye pressed his forehead, looking like he had a headache.

When Ishimaru saw it, he smiled and said:

"Ah Ye, the actions of those big people are always incomprehensible~ We just need to do what we are told~"

"Yes, yes. So, what do you ask us about this time? ”

"Well, this thing...... Even I'm a tough ......."

Looking at Ishimaru's expression that suddenly became distressed, Ah Ye asked curiously:

"There's something that is difficult for you to do? What the hell is going on? ”

"No...... It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it may not be possible. ”

Ishimaru handed the letter to Ah Ye and took a sip of tea.

"Oh, I'm going to Kyushu, and I'm going to take that Ukita Hideya with me, because I'm worried that he's being recognized, so I'm going to trouble us to help with his disguise."

"It's not all. Tsuunosuke-sama will still be a shadow warrior for a few months, and he must also be disguised~ But with the lame disguise technique of Tsuunosuke-sama and Irisawa-sama, it's strange to come to beg me~"

Ishimaru couldn't help but laugh as he mentally made up the picture when he used Tsuru Nosuke's disguised face to meet people.

"Teihachiro, you guy! How dare you casually talk about Tsurunosuke-sama and Irisawa-sama! This is disrespectful! ”

Ah Ye then punched him hard.

"But, then again, with your skills, you should be able to do the disguise thing, right? Why is it 'so hard'? ”

"Ah Ye, it's not a question of whether you are skilled or not...... Rather, if I go to Osaka Castle to help them change their faces, it won't be a matter of coming back in a day or two. ”

Ishimaru's face was embarrassed,

"Although Edo is chaotic now, it is easy to run out. However, the Tokugawa family has stepped up patrols in the castle. ”

"Eh, you can just go, I'm still here in Edo, it's okay."

"No, no, no, it won't work. Originally, Edo was in turmoil during this time, and because of the complete destruction of the Iga Concentric Society, the Tokugawa family had to ask Shoji-sama and Takasaka Shinnai to be these external ninjas. It just so happens that Shoji-sama is in Yoshiwara Town, and the investigation here must be very strict. If I leave suddenly, that's not a good thing. Ah Ye, do you think that with the strength of Shoji-sama, you won't be able to detect the clues of Ishimaruya? ”

Ishimaru whispered as he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Looking out the window, you can see a rice house in a flower street next door. It was the whale house opened by the traitor Shoji Kanai of the Wind Demon Ninja, as well as his residence and intelligence gathering center.

"That's right...... Speaking of which, too. ”

Ah Ye sighed in abandonment, and at the same time looked directly at the beam of the rice house outside the window with a resentful tone,

"Abominable Shoji...... Kotaro-sama's ...... We will definitely pay back several times ......"

"Ah Ye, that's for sure...... We're not good people either...... As long as I can kill Shoji-sama, I will do whatever it takes~"

As soon as the death of the late Wind Demon leader Kotaro was mentioned, Ishimaru, who had always been smiling, also changed to a cold face at this time, exuding a cold murderous aura outward.

Both Ishimaru and Aye were raised by the late Kotaro, the fifth-generation leader of the Wind Demon.

At that time, when the late Taiko Hideyoshi destroyed the Hojo family, Ishimaru and Aye's parents were drawn into the war and died, and both Ishimaru and Aye were just five-year-old children with snot in tow.

Kotaro, the leader of the Wind Demon who has become a thief, secretly takes in Ishimaru and Aye. Kotaro personally raised and taught these two children and taught them many lessons in life. It can be said that Kotaro is equivalent to his father's existence for Ishimaru and Aye, who lost their parents and family at that time.

However, this father-like person died in the eighth year of Keicho (1603).

What made Ishimaru and Aye angry was that the reason why Kotaro-sama would be so easily hunted down by the Tokugawa family was actually directly caused by the rebellion of the internal Shoji Shinnai. Since then, Ishimaru and Ah Ye have never broken off the idea of killing Shoji Shinnai with their own hands to avenge Kotaro.

The power of hatred can never be ignored, no matter where it is or what era it is.

"Well, let's talk about this kind of thing later."

Ishimaru broke the cold and murderous atmosphere with a loud voice.

"Now let's think about how to help His Royal Highness the Four Men do things~"

"Speaking of which, Teihachiro, aren't your contacts quite extensive, can't you ask for help from those people?"

Aye asked for Ishimaru's opinion.

"Ah Ye, it's not safe to hand over such an important matter to a peripheral person, right?"

Ishimaru thought about it for a while, and felt that the people he knew were not very reliable, and it was easy for the plans of His Royal Highness the Four Men to be secretly exposed.

"Anyway, these people can't do it...... Ah, wait. ”

As if he had suddenly thought of something, Ishimaru jumped up from the tatami mat excitedly.

"That's right! That person might be able to do it!! ”

"Killed Keihachiro...... Who is that person? ”

Frightened by Ishimaru's startled move, Ah Ye hurriedly covered his ears and asked suspiciously.

"That's the man, that's the one...... Well, it's the one who went with me to see Ah Guo before......"

Dense beads of sweat appeared on Ishimaru's head, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Oh? Who went to see 'Izumo Akoku' with you? ”

Ah Ye's tone was much heavier on 'Izumo Ah Kuni', and he looked at Shimaru with a smile on his face.

"Ahh You—Don't do that! Weird and scary! Ahem! Anyway, in short! ”

Ishimaru barely managed to cough.

"Uh-huh, anyway, that guy has a pretty good relationship with me, and will definitely agree to my request. Moreover, with that guy's background and identity, he won't reveal any news to the Tokugawa family. Only he can help. ”

Ishimaru ignored Ayena's still strange smile in her eyes, sat down straight, and began to write a letter to that person.

"Send this letter to His Royal Highness the Four Men and ask him to go to that person with this letter, probably enough."

Ishimaru nodded confidently, expressing pride in his connections.

"Well, then, Terumhiro, the business is done. It's time to give me a good explanation of 'Izumo Akuni', right? ”

"Wait, wait! Ah, Ah Ye, why did you bring this up again! Ah, ah, I'm sorry! I'll explain it to you! ”

Looking at Aye's smiling face without any emotion, Ishimaru shrank into the corner in fright.

Then, in the Ishimaru House in Yoshiwara Town, there were inexplicable screams.
