Since watching the fireworks at that temple fair, Eri has been surprised to find that Yin Rena has been observing everywhere, that is, her body is motionless in place, her head is turning around, and she is turning very slowly, like a turtle raising its head, but there has been a breakthrough compared to the previous motionlessness.

When Yuki Eto came to check the progress, he was also fooled by Eri, which made him very happy.

But what he may not have imagined is that when Yin Rena wakes up first, the first camp to get her will definitely not be the conservatives of the Yuuki family, but the open faction, and Eri Yin Muro's undercover work in the conservatives is not a day or two, and all the preliminary work is for this moment.

In November, the weather suddenly turns cold, and the green leaves of summer are yellow and falling with the wind, and now the heavy cherry blossom country has ushered in the autumn of slaughter.

Two months have passed since the temple fair, and before you know it, Yin Rena has lived in this world for more than a year, 404 days to be exact, but there is no celebration. The year 988 of the empire is about to pass, ushering in a new year of 989, and at this moment, the Frank Empire is bustling with excitement, and every family is celebrating the New Year, not including the citizens of the southern front.

The battle between the army and the Bloods continued day and night.

The last time the deep front plan went bankrupt, resulting in a stalemate with the blood clan now, and the war in the dark is a head.

Standing in the autumn courtyard, Eri stretched out her arm to let the snow-white carrier pigeon land on her arm, carefully removed the small note from the pigeon's ankle, and then released it back into the sky.

Returning to the house with the note, he knelt down at the small table and opened the note.

[Preparations are ready, and we will leave tomorrow night.] 】

Eri's face was ugly, and the secret path finally came to this time, but he quickly sighed as if he was fated, and finally took a look at this room full of peace of mind and tranquility, and took care of Yin Rena so that she could enjoy a moment in the mansion for a long time, not reluctant to this luxury, but reluctant to this reassuring atmosphere, got up and left the hall to prepare his bags.

The two of them didn't have much to bring when they escaped from Yuuki's house, and they were afraid that they wouldn't have food to eat on the way, so they brought four bags of food pills, two bags on themselves, and two bags on Yin Rena's body.

But although she is an all-round talent in internal affairs, she is unsatisfactory in terms of combat, and it is useless to hold a katana, at most she pretends to be a person, and she can only take one away when she really encounters an enemy attack, and she is more used as a survival knife in the wild.

In addition to these, she also took out two lighter outing clothes from the closet, both of which were dark green for easy hiding, and looked a bit like the semi-long robe of a chivalrous man of the Donghuang Kingdom, as well as a hat to prevent being recognized by the person holding the bounty order when she was outside.

Tokyo City is one of the three most important cities in the whole cherry blossom country, with a significant role and a very high status, surrounded by three satellite cities to protect, namely Yokohama, Chiba, and Saitama, and the Yuki family is the management family of these three cities, and has absolute rights in their own cities, and they can be scattered in the corners of the three cities within a few days of issuing a bounty order.

And the destination of their trip Kashima is between Chiba and Saitama, and they have to go northeast for a while to the edge of the East China Sea in the country of Chongsakura, which is not too far, but as long as they pass through Tokyo, Yokohama and Kashima are a straight line distance, and it is quite fast to ride a horse.

(Note, in this world, the map of the Little Sakura Country is upside down and I placed it on the south side of the West Continent, so don't forget this if you want to refer to the real map.) ）

On November 4th, after eating the last dinner in the evening of the same day, Eri put on new outfits for herself and Yin Reina, and brought all the equipment, the food pills were not so obvious, that is, two black bags hung around her waist, that is, Eri's katana was a little obvious, but there was nothing to do, they believed that an inch long and an inch strong, compared to a knife, it was still a katana more reliable.

Asuna Yuuki also kept her previous agreement with Eri, "fully armed", and came to the guest room at this time to meet Eri and Yin Reina.

After Eri's ideological work, little Assuna has decided to leave the Yuuki family, and she knows that for her in this family there are only endless grievances and humiliations, and she can't get rid of them for almost a lifetime, like being entangled in countless seaweeds at the bottom of the sea, and there are suffocating seawaters everywhere.

】

This is the cruelty of reality, she recognized it, so she chose to leave, but she will come back, and she will definitely cut everything down at that time!

Glancing at the time, Eri lifted the katana and asked Assuna to lead the way by pulling Yin Rena instead of her:

"It's almost, let's leave secretly first, and then something will change."

And just when the three of them wanted to leave through the back door, there was a sudden knock on the door of the guest room.

"Eri Yin Muro, open the door, and conduct a surprise inspection on the order of the head of the family!"

"It's a samurai sent by the head of the house to see the situation! They're already suspicious, go! ”

As if hearing the sound of hurried footsteps in the house, the samurai outside frowned, stretched out their legs, and directly kicked open the door that was not secure, and rushed in.

But just as they wanted to enter the house, a larger number of black-clothed people jumped from the roof of the guest room, also holding katanas, and confronted them.

The samurai led by the assault inspection team unsheathed his blade, and a sneer appeared on his face:

"Sure enough, it's your open faction that is messing with ghosts, and Yin Muro's Eri is also one of yours, right?"

"No comment." The man in black who was also the leader said coldly.

"Well, let me tell you, the wise head of the family has already expected this to happen, you think this will stop us, but unfortunately, there is still a wave of men and horses who have gone after the traitors."

Without saying a word, the samurai of the two sides fought one after another, and flesh and blood flew between the swords and swords, and the Yuki family began civil strife tonight......

On the other side, he had just left the guest room and walked out of the mansion through the passage that had already been opened up, and came to the outside world.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the light of a pile of torches around the corner of the wall was approaching.

"It seems that the head of the family has long been worried about me." Eri's heart, which had just been put down, lifted up again, as if riding a roller coaster, and hurriedly ran towards the established route, and Asujina followed closely behind with Yin Rena.

Tomorrow Nai found that now is not the speed at which she has to take care of Yin Reina, how fast she runs, Yin Rena can keep up, provided that she takes her hand and leads the way.

"In that case, let me show you my speed! I was the fastest runner in school! ”

Tomorrow's two slender legs no longer scruples to step up, so that Eri looked at it and called it reliable, originally I was afraid that Yin Rena would not be able to run away from everyone, but now I don't have this worry.

"Go this way! If you go into the woods, you must get rid of them, otherwise it will be difficult to run away when you get out of the forest and into the plains! ”

Although the Shigezakura Kingdom practiced an absolute monarchy like the Frank and other empires, there was still a big gap between the level of industrialization in the country and that of Western countries, and the steam locomotives in the Frante Empire were becoming more and more popular, and the Shigezakura Kingdom was still the era of horse-drawn carriages, and the steam locomotives only existed in the emperor's treasury as a collection.

Because of this, the ecology of the country is well maintained, the woods are lush, and the locals will not be surprised that tigers emerge from them.

The trees were dense, the vegetation was almost covered, and the bushes had shed their leaves, leaving only the jagged sharp branches exposed, which slowed down the speed of the trio like a natural roadblock, and the slightest mistake would cut through the skin, and the injury would be even more troublesome.

Eri took a katana and cut a branch at the front to open the way, thinking that it was good to have a katana and clothes that were easy to move, and if she had brought a knife and wore a kimono, she would have been caught up by now.

She can almost imagine the scene at that time, as traitors, she and Assuna will be beheaded on the spot, and she is still an undercover agent of the open faction, and it is not a pity to die.

And Yuuki Asuna, colluding with other factions, aiding the abuse, and also killing the first and then the prelude together, just happened to be a hidden danger of Yuki Yingdou.

But now that you have managed to run so many distances, there shouldn't be any more of the above situations.,It's a pity that the ribbon that hides Momiji-hunting is still in Yuki Eito's hand.,But there are open factions who obstruct it.,Presumably it's not easy for Yuki Eito to study the ribbon well.。

The group of three ran towards Tokyo without stopping, and before they knew it, the bright moon had set overhead, and the newborn morning light was rising in the direction they were heading, illuminating the dark forest.

After a night of running and stopping, they finally came to the edge of the forest, if they had a map, they would not get lost, and they were lucky, they did not encounter any beasts on the road, but they encountered a lot of game, and after a simple treatment, they were all turned into spare food and stuffed into extra storage bags and carried on their backs.

"Aunt Eri! We're out! Wuhu! ”

"Yes......" Eri looked back at the lights of the torch and the samurai's voice, "We're finally out." ”

"There's still a long way to go, but we'll have horses to ride as soon as we enter Tokyo, so let's work hard before we do that."

"I'm not hard, my aunt is, I need to rest more."

Tomorrow Nai seriously persuaded her to pay attention to rest, Yin Rena was still looking around casually, without any awareness of being hunted down, and Eri smiled slightly:

"Okay~ to the end of the field of vision, let's rest for a while, the pursuers should not be able to see it."

The road on the plains was much easier than in the forest, and soon they reached their destination, and there was still a tree on the plain occasionally, and it was better to feel under the tree than to be covered by the sky.

Having slept in advance, they didn't feel sleepy, so Eri and Asukina broke some branches from the tree and lit a fire on the spot with a fire breaker, so that the hare they had just caught in the forest could be roasted.

Although there are no flavoring agents, when you are hungry, this barbecue full of natural flavors can also make people appetizing.

After filling their stomachs, resting for a while, and leaving no traces, the three of them set off again.

The height of the three of them is evenly distributed from high to low, which has a bit of a sense of Journey to the West, and it will be more similar if there is another horse.

They supported each other through the vast plains, carrying their hats when it rained, passing villages large and small for supplies, and walking through the fields, alleys, inns, and trading posts...... As they walked farther and farther, there were more and more traces of civilization, which showed that they were not far from their destination.

At this time, a village appeared at the end of the view.

They have just run out of supplies and are in need of food.

"God open your eyes!" Eri was overjoyed, "Let's go to the village in front of us and resupply!" The village seems to be quite small, and you can take a good rest after walking so much. ”

"Does that mean you can sleep in a bed?"

Every time she passed by the village, in order to hurry, she just replenished the supplies, and then continued on the road, and there was no time to find a house to borrow in the village.

Eri stroked the little girl's head:

"Yes, rest there, refresh yourself, and head straight to the city of Tokyo! Asukina hasn't been to Tokyo yet, has she? ”

"Uh-huh! I only hear it in the mouths of adults, I don't know what it looks like, I only know that it is very prosperous, and people have endless food and money! ”

"Haha, that's a lie to you, Tomorrow Nai is also a big girl, Auntie won't tell you fairy tales, Tokyo...... The rich are more arrogant and lascivious than Yokohama, and they are well-dressed and well-fed; The poor are even poorer, and even starve to death on the streets, the so-called city, is such a man-eating monster. ”

Asukana's face turned a little pale, and a little bit of anticipation disappeared, but she was still very grateful to Eri for letting her understand a lot.

"Aunt Eri, don't just bully me~ Big sister has definitely never been to Tokyo either!"

Eri rubbed Asuina's long maroon hair again:

"The eldest sister is a foreigner, and she has seen more than me, so don't look down on her."

"Then why doesn't my sister speak? I've never seen her speak. ”

She ...... It's just that I'm sick, and I'll talk to Asukina in the future......"

Asuna is like a child who keeps asking 100,000 whys, and Eri is not irritable, always patiently answering, and just like that, before I know it, I walked into the village.

To be exact, the extent of the village.

In the fields on both sides of the dirt road leading to the interior of the village, the village farmers rolled up the sleeves of their clothes and harvested the fruits of autumn in the fields, their faces full of happiness.

Autumn, the harvest season, has always been a favorite time for farmers.

"It seems that their village has a good harvest this year, and they should be able to afford the grain tax." Eri said to herself, "If there is this harvest every year, it is no wonder that their village is so large, and it is estimated that there are landlords......"

As they pass by, some of the enthusiastic farmers greet each other.

Everyone's first instinct for the village was good, and when you entered the interior, the houses were as if they were denser than they seemed from afar.

- I should be able to find a family to borrow a house, if there are so many houses.

At this moment, a kind old woman walked by the side of the road, her hair was gray, but she looked very kind.

"Huh? You're from out of town, aren't you? ”

The old woman passed by them and asked.

Eri stepped forward and said:

"Yes, we came from Yokohama to Tokyo, and we wanted to find a place to rest our feet, but is there a place to rent a hotel nearby?" We'll pay. ”

"So that's the case~" The old woman smiled slightly, "My family is quite big, the old man has been there for several years, and the room is free, if you don't mind living in the same room as an old man like me." ”

"That's great! Thank you! ”

Asudaya also stepped forward and thanked Aliga a lot.

The old woman's squinting eyes swept over the three of them, and her eyes were full of ...... Satisfied?
