Chapter 13: Conflict and Gifts
Back at Sakura's side, it's still early, and Sakura is going to go to the supermarket first. It's not about buying snacks or anything, it's just about getting ready for the evening's work. Walking into the kitchenware area, her eyes stayed on the kitchen knife holder on the side, yes, Sakura was going to choose a knife as a weapon.
There was a helpless wry smile, this is also a helpless move, there is no weapon to take advantage of, Sakura is also afraid that he will meet a person with a perverted physique like Yukari Hirono again, and he can't do it without a weapon.
On RB's side, controlled knives are not so easy to buy, and Sakura can only deal with them casually first.
Picking out a boning knife at random, Sakura checked out and walked out of the supermarket. The knife is not long, it is said to be a knife, but it is more like a dagger.
Take a look at it, the sharpness is not bad, and I don't ask too much for anything else. Put the boning knife back into the scabbard, it is small and lightweight, and it can be put in your pocket, and it is easy to carry.
Take the subway to the vicinity of Area D, which is not far from New Street, and Sakura chose to walk there.
Looking at the scenery of the neighborhood all the way, I felt the breath of "people" in this world. As the clock ticks by, night falls on the bustling city of Tokyo.
On the street, the street lamps gradually lit up, red, green, yellow, colorful, all kinds of people and cherry blossoms passed by, there were hurried pedestrians, office workers who shouted into the wine house in twos and threes, shop clerks who shouted hard, and there were innocent and romantic RB students, maybe when they grow up, they will be like those people, find a job, form a small family, live an ordinary life, and finally disappear in the crowd, what a picture of the world!
With her hands behind her back and a brisk step, Sakura hummed an unknown song in her mouth.
The singing voice is crisp and pleasant, with a cheerful tone, coupled with Sakura's natural beauty, which has caused passers-by to frequently look sideways, but they can't understand any of the lyrics, it seems to be from a foreign language? How would they have known that this is a native nursery rhyme from another world.
"Who killed that traveler?
It's me, said the Wind Hawk, that I killed the traveler, with my beak and claws.
Who saw him die?
Was I, said the eight-eyed worm, and I saw him die, with my little eyes?
Who took his blood?
It's me, said the vampire, that I took his blood, with my little mouth.
Who made the shroud for him?
It's me, said the five poisonous spiders, and the shroud I made for him was made with the silk threads I braided.
Who will give him a funeral?
It's me, said the fire wolf, and I'm going to give him a funeral, with the flames I spew.
As night fell, and when the death knell rang for the poor traveler, the beasts enjoyed a fragrant roast dinner. โ
Although it is a nursery rhyme, the tone of the management is cheerful and easy to learn, but it can't hide the bloody facts, the ending is full of gray humor, and the laws of the dark forest are undisguised.
This nursery rhyme comes from a small town next to the Monster Forest, and was originally intended to warn children and travelers not to enter the forest lightly. When I was a child, my family was in the town, and because I was very familiar with this nursery rhyme, Sakura liked it very much.
At 8:50 p.m., Sakura arrived at the meeting place, the intersection of Xinjie Street, where a number of Toyota black private cars of the same model were parked, and many figures in black suits were wandering nearby.
Walking to the door of a bar and entertainment club, there were even more underworld members wearing suits and ties, and Sakura knew that they were all from the Inagawa Society.
Seeing Sakura's arrival, the members of the Inagawa Society took the initiative to open the door for Sakura and bowed their waists to show respect.
Sakura found out when she came, every time she passed by a member of the underworld, they would bend down and bow to Sakura, and it should be the upper echelons of the Inagawa meeting who informed Sakura of her appearance, and it seems that they have done their work to the fullest.
As soon as he walked through the door, a drunken man staggered and staggered towards this side. Seeing that he seemed to be planning to go out, Sakura didn't want to be bumped into, so she moved to the side a little. Who knows, this guy actually hit Sakura straight away!
The drunk man smells of alcohol, with an inexplicable smile in his mouth, and his eyes are staring at Sakura, and saliva still lingers on the corners of his mouth.
"Smack!"
A loud slap sounded, and Sakura calmly looked at the drunk man in front of him who was covering his face and looked sluggish, and slowly withdrew his hand.
"You... Do you dare to hit me? Stinky, how dare you hit me!? Do you know who Uncle Ben is!? โ
This is the front lobby of the bar, which is relatively quiet, and the loud slap attracts the attention of everyone. The drunk, who reacted, realized that he had been slapped in front of everyone by a student girl in a high school uniform, and he was ashamed and angry, staring at his bloodshot eyes, and roaring with murderous anger.
"Alas, this girl is going to suffer." A bar guest not far away looked at Sakura shaking his head and sighing, with a hint of pity in his eyes, as if he was a regular customer here.
"Huh? Why? The female companion next to him asked curiously,
Seeing that he had the opportunity to perform in front of his female partner, the man's expression became a little proud, and he leaned over to whisper in the female partner's ear; "This guy's name is Matsushima, and he is the leader of the gangsters in this area, and I heard that there are even people from the Inagawa Society covering him!"
"Inagawa... Not! The female companion exclaimed and was about to call out the name, but the man next to her was frightened and covered her mouth, looked left and right with a weak heart, and saw that no one noticed this, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't want to die?!" Those people in the Inagawa Society are some crazy people who kill people without blinking! Seeing that the female companion nodded with an understanding expression, the man let go of his hand and continued to pay attention to this side.
At this time, a group of people walked out of the bar box, dressed in standard underworld dress, except for a man with a comb and brown thin-rimmed glasses, wearing a gray and white suit, obviously different from the group of younger brothers behind him.
Hideto Ishihara, who was originally accompanying an important person in the box, heard that there was a disturbance in the hall, and hurriedly brought a few people over to check, generally speaking, he couldn't care about this kind of trivial matter, but he received a notice that there was another high-level figure coming here, so he came to the hall in person without worry.
When Hideto Ishihara saw the figure of a female high school student sneering at the drunk man in the hall, his pupils shrank, and he only felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, isn't this person the top of the newly promoted club!
"Bastard! What do you think you're doing?! โ
The man in the gray suit suddenly rushed over and kicked the drunk who was about to make a move! Then his fists kept falling towards it, and his mouth let out a beastly roar.
"Chop! What do you want to do to our boss? Yes?! When we Inagawa will be easy to bully! Brute! Die! Go to hell!! โ
Punch after punch, kick after kick, until Ishihara Hideto felt a little tired, he stopped, his fierce eyes still staring at the ground, it was already a drunk Matsushima who was out of breath and less in breath.
The onlookers only felt that this scene was terrifying, and the female high school student who thought she would become the victim turned into a gang leader and looked at each other for a while.
"Alright, that's pretty much enough."
This person Sakura hadn't seen it, but he also guessed that he was a member of the Inagawa Society, and this bar was a stronghold of the Inagawa Society, and if the drunk man was killed here, it would definitely have some impact, so Sakura also told them to stop at the right time.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to frighten you." When facing Sakura, Hideto Ishihara, who was as fierce as a hyena just now, immediately changed his face, bowed and apologized with trepidation and humility.
"Where's Naochi Shinkawa?" Waving her hand impatiently, Sakura asked coldly.
"Please come with me in the box." Following Hideto Ishihara, all the way through the noisy flow of people, to a quiet small box, Naochi Shinkawa was lazily sitting on the sofa shaking the red wine glass in his hand, seeing Sakura's arrival, he raised his glass to say hello.
"Yo, Sakura-chan~ What do you think?"
"What do you mean?" Sakura looked at the guy suspiciously, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"Pomp, pomp! How did it feel to be the boss of the underworld on the first day? Naoichi Shinkawa looked at Sakura curiously, like a curious baby.
"What about the mission, when will it start?" Ignoring Naoichi Shinkawa's boring question, Sakura asked coldly.
"It's boring, Sakura-chan! Well~After 12 o'clock, there were few people at that time, and it was convenient to move, and we had already ordered someone to do something about the monitoring in that area, so don't worry. By the way, you brought the 'guy', right? As if he suddenly remembered something, Naoichi Shinkawa asked again.
"Still... I guess I brought it. Knowing what one of Shinkawa was talking about with "guy", Sakura looked strange and took out the boning knife from her pocket.
"Poofโahem... Kitchen knife? One of the Shinkawa who almost choked on red wine looked at Sakura and was a little speechless. Then he beckoned a little brother and gave a few orders, and it didn't take long for a long box to be placed in front of Sakura.
"What is this?"
"Gifts, gifts! If I remember correctly, you used a knife, so open it and take a look. One of Shinkawa looked at Sakura expectantly, as if he wanted to see Sakura's surprised expression.
Sakura opened the long box suspiciously, and there was a knife lying quietly inside, pulling the knife out of the sheath, the knife was three feet two long, half a finger wide.
Wang Liang's snow-white knife body is carved with complicated patterns, it can be seen that it is made of high-quality steel after thousands of tempers, and this knife seems to have some years, and Sakura still feels a mysterious power in the blade, which appears and disappears.
"The boy Che Angang, legend has it that Seguang used the knife to kill the demon who swallowed wine, although the legend is not entirely credible. This gift can be satisfied~"
"I accepted this gift, and I owe you a favor." is not hypocritical, put the knife back into the scabbard, Sakura Masashi said to Nikawa Naochi. Sakura knows very well that although the remuneration for this trip is 5 million, it is not much, but if you count this knife, it will be more than that. Sakura doesn't know much about the price in this regard, but it is clear that this knife is definitely more than 5 million.
"Just like it. Also, this guy will be with you in the future, this guy is one of the branch heads here in Tokyo, and if you need to do anything, you can directly order him. โ
Shinkawa Naochi casually pointed to Hideto Ishihara, who was standing aside and bowing his head to Sakura and saying, 'Please advise,' and sighed, as if he was still sorry for not seeing Sakura's surprised expression.
"By the way, there's a second gift, let that guy come over." After saying goodbye to Sakura, one of the new rivers glanced at Ishihara Hideto on the side, and a guy with a bandage wrapped around his little finger was brought in, and this guy knelt on the ground, only to see him trembling and trembling in front of a severed little finger and respectfully releasing Sakura.
"What do you mean?"
"If you do something wrong, you will be punished, 'severed fingers' is already a very merciful punishment, and it is this person who is the peripheral member of this person who rushed into you in the hall today." Hideto Ishihara explained Sakura with a sneer, looking at the kneeling man with mocking eyes.
Sakura didn't say anything else, and waved her hand in annoyance, letting go of the poor guy who kept kowtowing and shouting "Please forgive me". discussed the next action with Naoichi Shinkawa, and when the time came, the two of them took a large number of members of the Inagawa Society and drove towards the Kawashima Group territory!
