After the night, Yuan Qingya opened her eyes, stood up and stretched.

The sky was dark and silent.

He leaned against the wall and meditated all night, not feeling tired at all.

Not far in front of him, there was a girl lying on her side, breathing evenly, her thin and thin body curled up in the quilt, looking very cute.

Yuan Qingya could feel that she was awake.

The rhythm of the breathing, which suddenly became a little chaotic, was proof of that.

Yuan Qingya's heart was playful, he walked to Ah Qing's back step by step, slowly squatted down, and heard the girl's breathing becoming more and more rapid, and his smile became evil.

No matter how much the person in front of me reads, she is just a teenage girl.

Such close contact with the opposite sex of the same age, still between the beds, quickly made the demure sleeping face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yuan Qingya didn't get up or speak.

He just watched there, and only after he had estimated that the girl's shame was almost at its limit, did he speak slowly.

"I'm leaving~"

The girl Bing Xue was smart, and she didn't know that he was deliberately tricky, so she got up and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, her eyebrows were shy and angry.

"You... You're a man!! ”

She couldn't say anything swearing, and the young man in front of her didn't do anything excessive, but it just made her feel like she was being molested.

Yuan Qingya tasted it lightly, straightened her voice, and said righteously: "What's wrong with me?" I'm here to say goodbye. ”

"So, don't you really want to come with me? Edo Castle is in ruins, and there is no time to delay. ”

Ah Qing glared at him angrily, his obvious anger still not subsided.

"Why are you so verbose!"

"This is my hometown, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Yuan Qingya was a little surprised when she heard this.

“... Do homeless people also have a homeland? ”

"Don't look like you're nostalgic... Aren't they like you? ”

Ah Qing's eyes became a little dim, and he shook his head slowly.

"Homeless people also have homes, and they also have roots."

"This village has been around for decades, and everyone has supported each other, even if I was born with gray hair, they didn't leave me."

Yuan Qingya raised her eyes in surprise.

"Decades... Can this nomadic village survive for decades? ”

"What to say... Lucky enough? ”

“... It's not lucky, it's also going to die, Mom and Dad died at the hands of robbers, many villagers died in the hands of beasts, monsters, and even samurai lords, and the size of the village is shrinking day by day, but luck still exists. ”

"However, they are also lucky, and they should have a good life when they meet a master like you..."

Yuan Qingya stood up indifferently.

"Well, just do it as you wish."

"It's not that I speculate on these people with the greatest malice, the way they look at you, in addition to disgust, is disgust, where is the slightest warmth?"

"In this harsh living environment, there are no so-called good people."

Ah Qing didn't seem to like this topic, so he didn't look over it, and replied to the question: "Hey, you can be regarded as hiring me to be an official, what position are you going to give me." ”

Yuan Qingya saw what she meant to open the topic, shrugged her shoulders, and made a joke.

"Position?"

"How is the lady of the city lord? I haven't married a wife yet, and the main room is empty, and I'm willing to sweep the bed. ”

I don't know why, Yuan Qingya and this erudite girl feel good together, and they have a common language.

It may also be the people I usually meet, except for being enemies with him, that is, subordinates with a very low posture, this kind of communication in an equal state, since I left Heiankyo and said goodbye to those brothers and sisters who are connected by blood, I haven't had it.

Of course, even so, the so-called main room is also a joke, if he really wants to marry, it must be the apricot in the family to the front row.

The joke didn't make the girl angry.

"Hmph... Don't be flamboyant, the Genji nobles from Heiankyo can look down on a country girl like me? ”

"Those noble ladies are your good match."

"I'm not good-looking..."

The last sentence was muffled, but Yuan Qingya still heard it.

"You have poetry and books in your belly, don't be presumptuous, I think you are much cuter than those sick ladies in Heiankyo."

"They don't know as much as you do."

"Seriously, as long as you can help me, Edo Castle... No, in Musashi, apart from me, you speak the most effective. ”

"How?"

Ah Qing glanced at Yuan Qingya with a smile, and her expression was quite satisfied.

"Well, one person is below ten thousand people, and it is quite sincere."

"That's... Don't forget what you said! ”

Yuan Qingya nodded, revealing a somewhat gentle smile.

"Don't worry, I'm a very good person."

"Then..."

"See you later."

...

After he returned to Edo Castle, he ordered the Wind Demon to lead a few passable men to protect the treasure girl he found, and then he devoted himself to busy work.

But what he was waiting for was not the nomads who had migrated to Edo Castle, but the bad news.

A few days later, noon.

After having eaten, Minamoto Kiyoya plans to go to the town to see how the temporary housing built for the recent explosion of the population is progressing.

As soon as he went out, he felt a flower in front of him, and a man in black jumped out of the street with vigorous hands, came to him and knelt down on one knee.

Yuan Qingya knows this person, this is a disciple under the command of the Wind Demon, he has learned the ninja set of things, and his combat power is a little mediocre, but he is a good hand at spying on military intelligence and collecting intelligence.

"Report, Master Yuan, Master has news that there is a change in the suburbs, please hurry up."

Yuan Qingya's eyes were cold, and she did not hesitate to order people to prepare horses.

The Wind Demon said that something had changed, and that was that something had happened to his treasure girl.

He wanted to see who he had the courage to do something to her!

Musashi itself was not big, and his horse was fast, and it didn't take long for him to see the phantom of the small village in the distance.

The faint light of the fire made him feel startled, and he subconsciously urged the horse to go fast.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the Wind Demon, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed to him and saluted, his tone hurried.

"Your Excellency, go in and have a look..."

"The young lady you asked us to look after seems... Something went wrong. ”

Yuan Qingya walked forward indifferently, and after he saw what was happening here, he subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Ashigaru of Edo Castle is confronting those homeless people, protecting Ashi in the center.

And the white-haired girl in green clothes sat helplessly on the ground, with her hair scattered and her eyes empty.

Behind her, there was a raging fire burning violently, like a medieval burner.

Ah Qing seemed to sense the arrival of Yuan Qingya.

She glanced at Yuan Qingya with godless eyes, and her eyes were full of tears.

Her miserable laughter was like fireworks dying in the summer.

"Hey, Kuniji-sama."

"I've become a monster."

"What you say, does it still count?"
