Chapter 14: Kyoshiro is in trouble
"Hey, what are you arguing about?" At this moment, a thick voice full of breath suddenly sounded from the street next to him.
Shiina Yuya turned his head curiously to take a look, and saw that it was a short, middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes leading a group of men down the street.
At this time, on the street, Kyoshiro was bowing his head to the hotel where he had just smashed his headlong into someone's signboard, but the other party still refused to give up.
"If you break the signboard but you don't have any money to pay, you can stay with us and work for us!" The guy at the hotel said menacingly, crossing his waist.
"Bah...... It's just a sign......" Kyoshiro quickly bent down and said with a smile.
"Whoever dares to disturb the good political situation of the Tokugawa shogunate, this black-bellied Mamoru Kosuke will never forgive him easily!"
At this time, the middle-aged nobleman had already come to the door of the hotel, and a soldier with a military steel fork beside him pointed to the nobleman and said loudly.
"Belly...... Belly Black! Sorry, take care of it right away! ”
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked out of the hotel quickly, and when he saw the short belly black Mamoru Kosuke, he immediately nodded and said.
"Please smile at this...... Forgive ......"
As he spoke, the innkeeper took out a wad of brand-new silver dollars from his sleeve and handed them to Mamoru Kosuke with a flattering face.
"Hmph, forget it, I'm not the kind of unreasonable person, I'll forgive you today, but don't forget, you can do business so safely because of my existence!"
Although the belly black Mamoru Kosuke said unashamed polite words, he had already reached out and accepted the silver dollar from the innkeeper and put it in his pocket with peace of mind.
"What...... What, that bastard, it's just blackmail! "Shiina Yuya really can't stand it, there is such a shameless person.
"Shh......h Be careful, don't let him hear it, that guy came here because he volunteered to search the hiding place of the homeless, the shameless magistrate who snatched gold and silver from the hands of the villagers, used his power for personal gain, and was unscrupulous in wine and women......
A local villager who knew the news hurriedly explained in Yuya Shiina's ear.
"Huh? You've never seen a new face! Not a local resident, right? ”
Belly Black Mamoru Mamoru heard the movement here, he turned his head and glanced at it, and found a few strange people popping up on the street, and immediately asked with a straight face.
"Right...... We are travelers who pass through here on our journey. Kyoshiro had already taken the opportunity to withdraw from the quarrel at this time, and he came to the front of Mamoru Kosuke, touched his head and said with a smile.
"Oh......? Quite suspicious! I'm going to check it out. ”
When Mamoru saw that there were two beautiful women with outstanding posture among the three newcomers, his eyes lit up for a while, and he couldn't help but feel lustful in his heart, and he lowered his head to open Yuya Shiina's robe from the bottom to see her beautiful legs.
"What are you doing! You dog! "Shiina Yuya has been molested in public like this at night.,When you get angry.,Loudly asked loudly.。
"By the Night Girl...... Restraint, master, don't worry about this little girl for now...... I have a secret medicine here that can make you happy with beautiful women all night, I wonder what you think? ”
Seeing this, Kyoshiro hurriedly squeezed between the two, he first turned his head to appease Shiina Yuya, then turned his face again, took out a small tin bottle with a red note on his body, and said with a smile to Mamoru Kosuke.
"Huh?" Sure enough, as soon as Mamoru Kosuke heard that he could be happy with a beautiful woman, he immediately became interested, and his already gloomy face eased.
"This is made by taking the sap essence of the acacia tree in the deep mountains and old forests, coupled with the careful boiling of 7749 days, which can be said to be tailor-made for you, so that the old man is fierce and ...... further."
Seeing that he had succeeded in attracting the attention of Mamoru Kosuke, Kyoshiro bragged at him with a small tin bottle, bluffing him for a moment.
"What? Is it true? What about this bottle ......"
The light in the eyes of the belly black Mamoru Kosuke became brighter when he heard this, and his interest in this bottle of secret medicine became more and more intense, and he stretched out his hand and snatched the small tin bottle that had not yet been opened in Kyoshiro's hand.
As soon as he opened the cap, he saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the mouth of the bottle, and then everyone only heard a loud "bang", and in the astonishment of the belly black Mamoru Kosuke's face, the small tin bottle exploded on the spot.
"Wow!" Kyoshiro squatted on the ground and held his head at the moment of the explosion, he didn't expect this medicine to explode on the spot, this was a secret medicine he had carefully developed, although he had never used it.
"Hehehe......"
The girls next to them saw that the military helmet on the head of the black-bellied Shou Xiaosuke was blown away, the hair was blown into two swollen handfuls, and the face was also covered with a layer of black charcoal ash.
"Mixed ...... Bastard, you dare to play tricks in front of my black-bellied uncle, come and put me in prison immediately, waiting for interrogation! ”
Mamoru reprimanded angrily, and he gave orders to his men while spitting black smoke from his mouth, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.
"What a big misunderstanding...... Oops, run! Kyoshiro panicked and wanted to explain, but found that the soldiers under the belly black guard had already set off to arrest him, so he didn't care to speak anymore, and got up to run away.
"Hmm......" As soon as he turned around and didn't start, he bumped into a person solidly.
Kyoshiro raised his head in surprise, but saw a sturdy and tall man casting a cold gaze, which was a faintly murderous look.
Although the man's eyes were cold, he looked very handsome, with sharp edges and corners, a high nose, about twenty or thirty years old, and a strangely shaped knife hanging from his waist, which seemed to be a swordsman.
Kyoshiro was stunned when he saw the cold eyes, and at this time, the voice of Mamoru Kosuke sounded from behind, "Oh...... Ermen, there you are, just right, this time you have to catch that kid no matter what! ”
"Next...... You have to be careful! The man named Ermen suddenly narrowed his eyes and laughed, and he seemed to be kind enough to remind Kyoshiro.
"Okay...... Thank you ......."
Kyoshiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him kindly remind himself, he almost thought that the person in front of him and the dog official were also in the same group.
But before Kyoshiro's words landed, he saw a freshly unsheathed knife slashing towards his neck along a fan-shaped trajectory, without giving him any chance to react at all.
"Kyo ...... Kyoshiro! ”
Shiina Yuya saw it even more realistically, this man with inconsistent words and deeds drew his sword from the moment he smiled on his face, and it was impossible for Kyoshiro to hide from such a close distance.
"Wow, aa
Kyoshiro's whole body suddenly leaned back at the moment when the knife was about to arrive, and at the same time, his steps turned slightly, and his head also leaned back, and he was able to dodge the knife.
After the crisis was resolved, Kyoshiro still got up backwards with a frightened face, and did not stop until he distanced himself from the mysterious man who had suddenly attacked.
"Looks like you're pretty good at dodging! Or is my sprint too slow? ”
Ermen suddenly became interested, still squinting his eyes and smiling, he was surprised that the blow he was about to hit was missed, but it was funny, wasn't it.
"This time, though, there won't be any more deviations...... "Ermen's words were suddenly retracted as he sheathed his sword, leaning down and holding the hilt of his sword, making a gesture of drawing it.
"......" Ermen squeezed the last word out between his teeth the moment he opened his eyes, and at the same time he rushed out, smiling.
"Huh......?"
Kyoshiro stood there in a daze, watching Ermen put the knife into the sheath, and when he was curious, he heard the last word that Ermen squeezed out of his teeth.
In the next second, he was seen swooping in front of him at a very fast speed, and the long knife was unsheathed again, cutting a transparent trail in midair.
"Hmm...... Wait a minute! ”
In the blink of an eye, Kyoshiro saw the unsheathed knife swung straight towards him, and this time Ermen swung the knife more than twice as fast as before, and he didn't have time to dodge at all.
"Kyo ......" Shiina Yuya couldn't help but exclaim again, Ermen's knife this time was so fast that she couldn't even see the trajectory of the knife clearly.
So fast! No way...... Can't dodge ......!
At this time, Izumo Akuni, who had always been watching from the crowd, looked at Kyoshiro, who had fallen into a desperate situation, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his always calm face.
As soon as Ermen's knife was halfway swung and was about to slash at Kyoshiro, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura, as fierce as a tiger raising its claws.
Then he saw a pair of eyes, which were crimson, like the evil spirits of hell, murderous, and he was a little depressed just by looking at them.
In the next second, Ermen suddenly withdrew his hand, he forcibly stopped the knife that was about to swing at Kyoshiro, and then the residual force generated by the unloading force plunged the knife into the ground, bowing his head and being silent.
Kyoshiro was stunned for a moment, he was ready to hand over his body to the Devil's Eye Crazy Knife, but the other party suddenly stopped attacking, which made him a little uncomfortable for a short time.
"Kyoshiro, let's hurry up and leave at this time!" It was Yuya Shiina who was the first to react, and she shouted at Kyoshiro, who was standing in place and unconscious.
"Good...... Good! Kyoshiro came back to his senses, took the medicine box and luggage, and ran outside the town with the night girl.
"Ermen! What's the matter with you! Why hesitate? What kind of bodyguard are you! ”
Belly Black Mamoru Kosuke watched Kyoshiro and his gang escape from the town from behind, but Ermen in front of him lowered his head and ignored it, so angry that his already swollen hair curled even more, and he scolded at Ermen.
But Ermen still ignored him, and he stood up from the ground, put his sword back into its sheath, and turned his back to the people, and his whole body suddenly began to tremble, as if he were very excited.
"Final...... Finally...... Finally...... Finally...... Finally ......."
Ermen turned his back to everyone, and he could see that his expression was a little agitated, even crazy, and he even stammered when he spoke.
"Hey! Ermen, Lord Black asked you just now, hurry up and answer! At this time, someone reached out from behind and pressed Ermen's shoulder, threatening menacingly.
Everyone only felt that the knife in Ermen's hand was out of the sheath again, although no one could see his action of drawing the knife out of the sheath clearly, but the person who spoke just now had been directly cut off by Ermen's extremely fast knife.
Mamoru Kosuke's eyes widened, his eyes were full of fear and fear, he had long known that Ermen was a sharp double-edged knife, but he didn't expect that this incomparably sharp knife would no longer be under his command so soon.
"Finally...... Finally...... Finally...... Found you...... Devil's Eye Knife ......"
Ermen's narrow eyes were shining with a strange and crazy light at this moment, he stretched out his scarlet tongue and subconsciously licked his slightly pale lips, and there was an indescribable excitement and battle intent that instantly spread throughout his body, and this strong war intent continued to roll in his chest.
At this moment, he just wanted to look up to the sky and roar, this was the battle he had been looking forward to for many years, and he couldn't wait for it!
