Chapter 25: The Begging Children
"Stop! Don't run! ”
Shiina Yuya was chasing a tall and thin man who was about to go bald, and she took out her revolver from the base of her thigh as usual, fired a shot into the sky, and said menacingly: "Don't want to run, you thief with a reward of five taels!" ”
"Hehe, there's a kind of competition between you and my Scud on the grass to see who can run faster!"
The tall and thin man turned his head as he ran forward, and said defiantly to Yuya Shiina, who was already a little out of breath behind him, looking at ease.
"Damn...... It's time, Kyoshiro! ”
Shiina Yuya saw that she couldn't catch up with the tall and thin man, so she simply stopped, and she pulled out a rope from where she didn't know it, and the end of the rope was connected to a huge cannon barrel.
The barrel was hidden in a nearby bush, and at this moment the barrel changed direction under the impetus of Shiina Yuya, and the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the lanky man fleeing in front of him.
"Huh? Miscellaneous...... What the! Hearing this, the tall and thin man looked back curiously, but was startled, because he didn't know that a cannon barrel had suddenly appeared from there, and the muzzle of the cannon had been accurately aimed at him.
The most important thing is that there was a person in the muzzle, a person with a helpless face so much that he had no expression, and his entire body was stuffed into the barrel.
'Bang! ’
As Shiina Yuya pulled the rope hard, a cannonball suddenly fired from the muzzle of the barrel, but it was a human cannonball.
Kyoshiro was blasted out of the muzzle of a cannon, and he flew out in mid-air at a very fast speed, and the flight trajectory was aimed at the tall thin man who had stopped and looked at this side, and his jaw dropped in surprise with an incredible expression.
"Why do you keep asking me to do this kind of thing!"
His ears were filled with the sound of whistling wind, Kyoshiro opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and his body rushed straight towards the thin and tall man, with an expression of dying on his face.
"Mom, yes!"
The thin man's eyes were about to pop out, and he saw Kyoshiro rushing towards him as if he was desperate, but he couldn't avoid it, and he couldn't help but cry out in fright.
"Wow...... Ah? Just when the tall and thin man was about to give up resistance, Kyoshiro suddenly passed by his side, and it turned out that Shiina Yuya did not calculate the weight of Kyoshiro himself, causing the final trajectory to deviate.
"Wow, ahhhh
Kyoshiro couldn't stop the brake at all, he looked ahead with wide eyes, and screamed, but he could only watch as he slammed into the big tree behind the tall and thin man.
"What...... Bravado! Lao Tzu was shocked! The tall and thin man patted his chest with palpitations, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Yuya Shiina viciously in the distance and said.
"Huh?"
But as soon as his words landed, there was a sudden loud sound of movement behind him, as if something was swaying, and the thin man turned his head, but his eyes widened again.
I saw that the big tree that was hit by Kyoshiro began to break into two from the place where Kyoshiro's head hit, and the dense trunk of the upper part swayed and staggered.
Soon, the broken lower part of the tree could no longer support the huge trunk, and the trunk fell directly from the vertical state, just in the direction of the tall and thin man.
"Uh-huh!" The tall and thin man was crushed under the tree before he could dodge, and the large, thick trunk was so large that he could barely move.
"Wow...... Well done, Kyoshiro! ”
At this time, Shiina Yuya had already rushed over, and she saw that she had been chasing the tall and thin man who had been firmly pressed by the big tree, while Kyoshiro was lying on the ground next to him, except that his eyes were full of gold stars and seemed to be fine, so she couldn't help but smile and clap her hands and say yes.
Inside the government office near the village.
"Thank you for stopping by! You're very profitable! You can catch more wanted criminals with bounties, it's hard work......" said the bounty officer with a charity-looking face.
"Where, where, that's what I'm supposed to do, then...... Bounty? Shiina Yuya handed over the thief who had been tied up in layers into the hands of the bounty officer, and asked with a smile.
"Now, this is the bounty amount of five taels." The bounty officer smiled when he heard this, picked up a bag containing the bounty from his side, and handed it to Yuya Shiina.
"Good! Hehehe...... Now the amount of deposit is gradually increasing, and the accumulation will really become a lot! Shiina Yuya came out of the official office, and she clasped the wooden door of the official office with her foot, and said with a grin as she counted the money in her pocket.
"Huh? By the Night Girl, are you done? ”
Kyoshiro, who was waiting at the door, saw Yuya Girl walking out of the official office, and hurriedly stood up and waved at Shiina Yuya, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Kyoshiro, what's your business doing over there?" Shiina Yuya replied.
"No, it's not business at all, although I deliberately made a new medicine ......to come out," Kyoshiro scratched his head a little nerve-wrenching, and he exhaled lightly and said dejectedly.
"Huh? What is that? Shiina casually glanced down at the night, only to find Kyoshiro holding a small yellow tin bottle in his hand, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This is my special hormone perfume, as long as you swipe it, the opposite sex within three feet of the distance can immediately smell the fragrance on your body." Kyoshiro spread out the small tin bottle in his hand and explained to Shiina Yuya.
"Why can't it be sold when it's such a good thing? It's really strange......" Kyoshiro said with some helplessness as he stroked his forehead.
"Hells are going to use things like you!" Shiina Yuya silently scolded in his heart.
"Ah, but this bottle is especially for the night girl, remember to use it!"
Kyoshiro saw that Yuya didn't speak, and thought she had something in mind, so he patted his head suddenly, handed the hormonal perfume in his hand to Yuya girl, and said with a smile.
"Good...... Good! Thanks! Although Yuya Shiina scoffed at Kyoshiro's special medicine, he reluctantly accepted it.
"By the way, Miss Yuya, where are we going to sleep tonight?"
"I'm never going to sleep in the wilderness again!" Shiina Yuya was angry at the mention of this, and she turned her head and said angrily to Kyoshiro.
"Who would have thought! But in a place where such birds don't lay eggs, will there be a hotel where they can stay? Kyoshiro spread out his hands and said helplessly.
The village where they are now was the only way for the victorious Eastern Army to sweep through during the bloody battle of Sekigahara, and it was so looted that it has not been restored and rebuilt even now.
"Big brother!" Suddenly, a childish voice sounded from behind him.
"Huh?" Kyoshiro turned his head when he heard this, and found that it was a little boy of four or five years old, the boy was wearing tattered clothes and his face was dirty.
"Give me something." The little boy looked at Kyoshiro blankly and said, his index finger always to his mouth, looking stunned.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any money on me, so I don't have anything to give you......" Kyoshiro said apologetically as he squatted down slightly, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.
"I want it too!"
"I'm going to ...... too"
Suddenly there were a lot of children behind Kyoshiro, and they raised their hands and said to each other.
"Ah...... This is? Shiina Yuya was also stunned, and if she didn't pay attention, she and Kyoshiro were surrounded by these suddenly extra children, and they reached out to ask them for something.
The eldest of these children was seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old, and although they did not understand anything while sitting on their sister's shoulder, they had also learned to reach for things.
"Hey, Kyoshiro, what should I do?" Shiina Yuya lowered his head and looked at these little children who were holding their clothes and shaking constantly, raising their heads, with a pitiful look on their faces, their hearts softened, and they didn't know what to do.
