It's early in the morning.

Ogata was asleep.

The noise outside the cage forced Ogata to wake up from his sleep.

Open your eyes and look out of the cage.

I saw a huge crowd of people walking down the corridor all the way to his cage. ‘

The person at the head is none other than Hasegawa, who has not been seen for a long time.

The last time Ogata saw Hasegawa was when he was in prison more than a month ago.

Before Ogata could say a long-lost greeting to Hasegawa, Hasegawa threw a book and a scroll in his hand along the gap between the wooden bars of the cage and towards Ogata.

Ogata looked at it—the book and the scroll were the secret book, and the certificate that Sakakiwara had passed on to him.

"I'll give you back these two things." Hasegawa Road.

"I almost thought I might never see these two things of mine in my life." Ogata said as he took the two things back into his arms.

"Is that really your book a swordsmanship cheat?" Hasegawa couldn't help but ask Ogata, "To tell you the truth, if you tell me that this book is a scribblework drawn by some child, I would believe it." ”

"Coincidentally." Ogata smiled helplessly, "I also think this book is like a graffiti work drawn by a child......"

After stretching hard, Ogata asked Hasegawa:

"Onihei, do you finally have time to talk to me again? This time the pomp and circumstance was really big, and I brought so many people to see me. ”

"No, I'm not here to talk to you. It's here to take you away. ”

"Are you finally going to take me to Edo and behead me?"

There was no fear in Ogata's tone, as if he didn't take death seriously at all.

"You won't be escorted back to Edo to beheaded. Rather, you won't be asked to be beheaded. ”

"Huh?" Ogata's brow furrowed slightly, and he cast a puzzled look at Hasegawa, "What do you mean?" ”

"Ogata Ichchisai, you're in luck."

Speaking of this, Hasegawa paused.

"No ......"

"I guess your luck is too bad."

"I was going to be sent to that Shura Hell."

Ogata raised an eyebrow, "Am I going to be exiled?" ”

"In a way—it's exile."

"But it's more serious than exile."

"You'll know where you're going next."

With that, Hasegawa turned his head and ordered his subordinates behind him:

"Open the cage and take Ogata out."

"Yes!"

……

……

At the same time—

in another cage.

“…… Kuro Mamiya. ”

Imai, who was standing outside the cage, looked at the imiya with a faint smile on his face with a very unkind gaze.

And in this shallow smile of the palace, there is a bit of banter.

The cage where Ogata lives is far away from the cage where Mamiya lives.

Hasegawa is in charge of getting Ogata out of prison, while Imai is in charge of taking Mamiya out of prison.

"You're in luck."

Imai said word by word with an almost gritted teeth.

"I was picked up by your kid and got my life back!"

"Then I'm really lucky." Mamiya shrugged and said insincerely.

Boom!

Imai's fist slammed into the wooden bar of the cell in front of him.

"You bastard!"

Imai Okima roared.

"You...... Didn't you already know that we couldn't move you at all, so we could only escort you to Kii?! ”

"Did you deliberately get arrested by us just to go to Kii?"

"Well...... the mockery of the smile on Mamiya's face became a little more intense, "I can only say- guess what? ”

"Tsk...... You bastard...... I want to slash you with one sword! ”

Imai seemed to be afraid that if he talked to Mamiya again, he would be angry with himself, turned his head, and yelled at his subordinates behind him:

"Pull him out! Hop on the prisoner's cart! ”

……

……

Ogata was flocked all the way outside by the officials who had been changed by the fire payment thieves.

As soon as he walked out of the dark prison, Ogata's eyes couldn't help but close because he was not used to the bright light that he had not seen for a long time.

Before Ogata's eyes could get used to the intense sunlight, he was thrust back into a darkened prison car.

The environment of this prison car is similar to the prison where Ogata has been living for more than a month—it is dim.

But it wasn't as damp as the prison.

Not long after Ogata pushed the cart onto his buttocks, the cart under his ass started up.

As for where the prisoner van was going, Ogata didn't know.

While Ogata didn't know where he was going, he wasn't interested in knowing where he was going.

Ogata leaned back and changed into a comfortable position, ready to get some sleep.

Where to go after that - Ogata doesn't care about this kind of problem.

After all, no matter where you go next, what you want to do will not change - eat and sleep.

……

……

Kela, Kela......

Restore Restore Restore Restore ......

The sound of wheels turning and horses is endless.

Hasegawa, who was on horseback, instructed his men to do a final check of their luggage to see if they had forgotten anything they were carrying.

After confirming that nothing had been left behind, and that Ogata and Mamiya were both properly locked in their respective prison cars, Hasegawa waved his hand and gave the order to go.

The sound of wheels turning and horses chirping again rang out.

The caravan of fire-paying thieves stepped on the snow that was about to melt in the near future, and drove in the direction of Kii in the direction of Kii, facing the rising sun......

……

……

At the same time—

Kii Domain, a coastal area in the south.

Now is the time for the sun to rise.

The sun rises slowly over the horizon.

The golden dawn lit up the firmament, yellowed the mountains, and illuminated the earth.

At the same time, it also lit up the extremely open coast somewhere in the southern part of the Kii Domain.

At this moment, the sight on this extremely open coast is extremely striking.

On this open coast, there are gathered black oppressive troops.

In terms of total size, there are thousands of troops gathered here.

Generals wearing armor at all levels kept shuttling through the barracks, and the armor and shield blades on their bodies shone in the direct rays of the dawn.

A large banner painted with "three-leaf sunflower pattern" is waving in the morning breeze.

On a certain piece of high ground, a strong man wearing a red general's battle armor was using a monocular to look at the sea in the distance.

Hundreds of boats are sailing on the sea.

And the destination of these hundreds of boats is the same - the island that is not too big and not too small in the distance.

Even with a telescope, the general could only see the vague shadow of the island.

Looking at the blurred shadow of the island, the corners of the general's mouth twitched.

"I hope that the third batch of prisoners who have landed on the island can come in handy a little."

A young man standing behind the general, also dressed in battle armor, muttered.

As soon as the young man's words fell, the strong man in the red general sneered:

"Hmph, this third batch of prisoners who landed on the island are basically thieves, arsonists, and rapists. Do you count on these people to come in handy? ”

"There is no need to count on this group of people, they will definitely all be wiped out."

"I hope that among the fourth batch of prisoners who landed on the island, there will be a few people with a little ability."

With that, the general put away the telescope in his hand and left the high ground for lookouts.
