Chapter 177: The Soldiers Who Were Slaughtered
"Join ...... You guys......? Heijuro hesitated.
"Brother." The man who called himself Emon slowly walked under the shade of the tree where Heijuro was, and then smiled, "Can you tell me your name before Shikiki talks about this?" ”
“…… My name is Heijuro. ”
Heijuro saw that these uninvited guests did not draw their swords in their hands, so they gradually relaxed, and their bodies and voices were no longer trembling.
"Heijuro." Emon whispered in his unhurried voice, "Yes, that's it. Don't feel scared or nervous. ”
"We are friends, companions, not enemies."
"You just said ......'join you'......" Heijuro cautiously retorted, "what does that mean?" ”
"It's literal." Emon said, "Heijuro, do you want to regain your freedom and get out of this broken island where birds don't?" ”
"Of course!" Heijuro said without thinking, "I always dreamed of leaving this hellish place!" ”
"That's right." Emon nodded.
"It's not just you who think so. Me, and everyone. ”
As he said this, he spread his hands over the rest of the prisoners standing behind him.
"Everybody wants to get out of here and be free again."
"Yet—if we want to regain our freedom, our only choice is to do what the government says."
"Go and drag 3 'cannibals', or dig up an important piece of information related to 'cannibals'. Eligibility for pardon. ”
"Without the government's pardon, even if we flee the mainland, we will still be wanted by the government."
"Although we still don't know what a 'man-eater' is, since it involves something related to killing, then having a partner to help you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"With our companions, it's easier for us to kill the 'man-eater', and it's easier to drag the 'man-eater' corpse to the shore."
"If you're alone, can you kill that 'man-eater', just dragging its corpse to the shore may be able to exhaust you."
"We're all together in order to get a better and safer place to get a pardon as soon as possible."
"And when we are together, we can also effectively prevent attacks by other prisoners."
Speaking of this, Emon's brow furrowed slightly, and his expression became slightly serious.
"Now this island has all kinds of prisoners."
"There are bandits, there are robbers, there are arsonists, there are thieves......"
"At the same time, there are powerful murderers."
"Most of the prisoners who landed on the island were people like me who were not good at fighting."
"Therefore, people like us who are not good at fighting should be more united to prevent the abuse of other prisoners."
Heiichiro listened quietly to Emon's speech.
Emon's tone was subdued and frustrated, and his tone was soft and sounded particularly relatable.
And what he said made perfect sense.
Heiichiro was already moved by what Emon had just said.
"But, but ......" However, Heiichiro still raised his question, "Although the government said that it would give us the qualifications for pardon, but ...... Will they really keep this promise of theirs? ”
"I can only choose to believe in the government first." Emon said in a deep voice, "In the situation we are in now, there is no other choice but to believe in the government. ”
"At this stage, we should first work hard to fulfill the requirements of the government."
"After that, we can only leave it until later."
“…… I know. After a moment of silence, ꓹHeijuro nodded slightly, "Okay...... Then I'll join you! Please advise me on what will happen next! ”
"You're welcome to join us! Heijuro! With his trademark soft smile on his face, Emon opened his arms, "On behalf of the rest of my companions, welcome to you!" ”

That night—
Just as Ogata and Amachi had speculated, today's rain showed no signs of stopping until the evening.
"It looks like I'm really going to spend the night in this cave......" After glancing at the rain curtain outside the cave, Ogata turned his head and said to Amachi, "Amachi, you can sleep first." I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you'll keep watch for the second half of the night. ”
"Good!"
Amachi didn't make any excuses, and brought in a moderately high stone to make a pillow and a bed on the cold rocky floor.
Ogata looked at Amachi, who was lying on his side.
Amachi now has his back to Ogata.
So her smooth back and shoulders were in full view of Ogata's eyes.
Looking at Amachi, who was dressed so coolly, Ogata couldn't help but ask:
"You're dressed like this...... No problem? Doesn't it feel cold? ”
"This is the uniform of our female ninja who don't know the fire." Amachi replied, "I've been used to the feeling of chilling on my back and shoulders. Although it is true that it is a little cold tonight......"
"Of course it's cold." Ogata said helplessly, "The place where we live now is a shady cave. It's still raining outside, so it's no wonder you don't feel cold. ”
With that, Ogata took off his pale green hatori and walked slowly to Amachi's side, gently covering Amachi's body.
“…… Thank you. Amachi thanked her as she tightened her grip on Ogata's Haori.
"This haori is on your loan for the time being." Ogata said softly, "If it's still cold, there's nothing I can do." After all, if I take off my clothes again, I will be naked. ”
"Thank you." Amachi thanked him again.
She opened her closed eyes and glanced down at the pale onion haori around her.
An inexplicable smile appeared on Amachi's face.
"This haori is very warm......"
……
……
At the same time—
The coast across the sea from Butterfly Island -
Inamori, dressed in a hat and robe, stood on the shore with his guards and subordinates.
In front of them, in the sea, two small boats...... No, it should be a small boat dragging another small boat, slowly approaching the shore in the wind and rain.
Of all the boats that were responsible for bringing the prisoners to the island today, one was missing.
After learning the news, Inamori, who had an ominous premonition in his heart, immediately sent a large number of search teams to find the traces of the missing boat.
And just now, a herald finally told him that the missing boat had been found, and the soldiers who had found the missing boat were dragging the missing boat.
After learning the news, Inamori immediately led his guards and subordinates to the coast to see with his own eyes what happened to the missing boat and why it did not return on time.
Although the wind and rain made it difficult for the boats to move, the two boats eventually landed without any problems.
After the two boats docked, Inamori immediately rushed forward and looked at the boat that had just been found.
As soon as his eyes fell on this boat, Inamori's face instantly turned blue.
This small boat, lying the corpses of 18 soldiers.

【The Story Behind the Work】
Today, I'll tell you how the role of "Amachi" came about.
I left such a message in a previous chapter review: "I don't know that the fire dance is my first love! ”
This statement is not a lie.
When I first learned about this role, I was still in elementary school.
[Can you imagine how much visual and psychological impact a character like Ignorant Fire Dance brought to me when I was still an elementary school student? 】
The reason why I like works with the theme of swords and halberds may also be related to this first love when I was a child.
After I decided to create this book, I secretly decided: I must stuff this work with a female ninja who is lustful enough!
So Amachi came into being.
The birth of Amachi is based on my feelings, and if I don't design a woman to endure it, I always feel that something is wrong.
Although Amachi is dressed very colored, this is just a character design, please don't doubt Amachi's "purity", as a fighting ninja, Amachi has indeed not experienced the pain of breaking melons....
