"That's ......," Konnosuke said in a low voice, "It turns out that Zonghai already knew that there was a problem with the water of the Linong River, but didn't he tell us......

"But I do understand what he does......"

"From a certain point of view, his practice of concealing and not reporting is the right ......"

"If everyone on the island knows that there is no problem with the water from the well in Tenmanji Temple alone, then I am afraid that there will be an unimaginable bloody struggle for this well."

"As for the world, and the straight...... I have an impression of this master and apprentice......"

"Two years ago, the pair of their master and apprentice suddenly came to this island and said that they wanted to move here."

"We have always had a shortage of excellent doctors in Butterfly Island, and their medical skills are very good and the asking price is very low, so their pair of masters and apprentices are very popular with us here......

"I have also been helped by them to treat my long-term pain in the waist, and their medical skills are indeed quite good, after their treatment, my back disease that could not be cured before was quickly cured."

"Near no Suke." Amachi Asanosuke asked, "Can you draw what the two of them look like?" ”

Konnosuke smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't have such good drawing skills to be able to draw their faces." ”

Speaking of this, Konnosuke paused as if he remembered something.

“…… However, I have 2 things related to the master and apprentice of Kazushi and Kazunao. ”

With that, Konnosuke stood up.

"Come with me, two."

Ogata and Amachi, who didn't know what to do, stood up with Konnosuke and stood on the left and right sides of Konnosuke respectively, and let Konnosuke take the two of them out of the room and towards the second floor.

Konnosuke's goal is the storeroom with three large lockers.

Although this home of Konnosuke is magnificent, there don't seem to be many people living here, and from Konnosuke's room to this storeroom, the road is unimpeded and there are no occasional encounters.

As soon as he entered the storeroom, he saw the maid who was still lying in the corner of the room, sleeping soundly.

Needless to say, Ogata, and anyone who has seen it can guess why she sleeps here.

After smiling bitterly, without any hesitation or hesitation, Konnosuke walked to one of the lockers and pulled out a bucket, took out two pieces of paper from it, and handed them to Ogata and Amachi.

After receiving the two pieces of paper from Konnosuke, Ogata looked at them - they were covered in dense letters.

Before Ogata could ask what these two pieces of paper were, Konnosuke replied first:

"These two pieces of paper are the prescriptions written for me when Kazushi and Hezhi treated my back disease."

"They said that the little herbs they had in store were not enough to treat my back disease, so they asked me to take these two prescriptions and go outside the island to collect medicines."

"I followed their instructions and sent someone to Osaka to buy all the herbs written on these two prescriptions."

"And these 2 prescriptions of the master and apprentice are also really effective, and the potions that are boiled and prepared with these medicines really cure my back disease."

"Because I think that one day my back disease will recur, this medicine may be effective again, so I keep these two prescriptions."

"I see...... "Ogata looked down at the two prescriptions in his hand.

Looking at the dense handwriting on it, Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Thank you, both, for telling me this. It's a pity......" A faint look of sadness appeared on Konnosuke's face, "Even if I know that Kazuyo and Kazuno, the master and apprentice, may be the culprits of all these riots, and that there may be a problem with the water of the Linong River, it will be useless......"

"We're stuck here now...... I can't even get out of this island, and even if I want to ask the pair of masters and apprentices for an explanation, I don't know where the pair of masters and apprentices have run now......"

"All our domestic water comes from the Linong River."

"Even if we knew that there might be a problem with the water in the Linong River, we had to use ......"

"If you drink the water of the Linong River, you may be fine, but if you don't drink the water of the Linong River, you will die of thirst in less than a few days......"

Speaking of this, Kinnosuke sighed.

"Although I am very reluctant to admit it...... But we who live within the wooden walls ...... In this situation where there is not enough food inside and a strong enemy is blackmailed outside, we may not be able to live for long......"

"There is a strong enemy outside?" Ogata raised an eyebrow.

The words in what Konnosuke said just now made Ogata have to care.

Just as Ogata wanted to ask what Konnosuke meant by "blackmail from a strong enemy outside", an anxious shout suddenly sounded outside the door of the storeroom:

"Near-no-suke-sama! Sotaro's gang is here again! ”

As soon as this anxious shout fell, Konnosuke's expression changed suddenly.

"Damn...... "Konnosuke gritted his teeth, "those guys...... Are you here again......"

With that, Konnosuke waved his sleeves and rushed out.

The person whose face also changed was also Amachi.

Amachi heard the shout...... No, to be precise, after hearing the name "Sotaro", the expression on his face changed suddenly like Konnosuke.

When Konnosuke rushed out, Amachi immediately followed.

"Amachi, what are you doing?" Ogata, who couldn't figure out what Amachi was going to do all of a sudden, followed with a blank face, and casually stuffed the two prescriptions written by Kazuyo and Kazuna that Konnosuke had just stuffed into his arms.

After rushing to the treasury after Konnosuke, Amachi asked Konnosuke in a hurry:

"Excuse me—who is Sotaro?"

"It's a jerk." Konnosuke said in a deep voice with a cold face, "After being thrown to this island by the shogunate, this Sotaro and his elder brother Aotaro gathered a large number of prisoners and took root on this island. ”

"They don't have a source of food, and every once in a while they ask us for rice."

"If we refuse to give us rice, they threaten to rush in and kill us all."

"They are the strong enemies I just said were 'blackmailed by strong enemies from outside'."

"They have weapons in their hands, and the two brothers Shotaro and Sotaro are said to be ninjas born out of ignorance, and they are very powerful, so we have always dared to be angry and dare not speak out......"

"I don't know the fire?" Ogata couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

At the same time, his gaze subconsciously swept to the gloomy face of Amachi beside him.

"Hmm. That's exactly what Sotaro called himself. Konnosuke said softly, "Although I don't know what that thing is in the fire and where it is located......"

"It's a ninja sato. This is what you commonly call Ninja Village. As soon as Konnosuke's words fell, Amachi replied without thinking, "Similar to the Ninja no Sato of the Sengoku period and the Sato of Koga...... is a ...... Very bad place......"
