A young samurai around 15 years old - the same young samurai who just wanted and had a dispute with his friends -

"These people you killed were members of the Kusunoki group!"

"Judging from your accent, you must be a stranger from Kanto, right? You may not know what it means to offend Kusunoki-gumi... Anyway, run away!"

"The Kyoto Prosecution Office and the Kusunoki Group are in cahoots!"

"When the dog officers from the Kyoto Prosecution Office come, you will be in trouble!"

The young warrior's words awakened the others who were watching.

For a time, the onlookers all showed worried expressions and said in various directions:

"Yes, young man, please leave quickly!"

"While the dog officers from the training center haven't arrived yet, hurry up and fly away."

"The dog officers in the execution office are all a bunch of losers. You only need to leave Kyoto temporarily and avoid the limelight, and you can turn the corner!"

Looking at the people of Kyoto who were enthusiastically urging them to leave quickly, Sanako couldn't help but mutter:

"It seems that Kyoto is not the only place where arrogant and arrogant people have their eyes set on others..."

Then, she lowered her voice - she did not forget that they were still visiting incognito - and whispered:

"Tangerine-kun, let's go."

However, Qingdeng turned a deaf ear.

I saw him purse his lips, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Sanako had to cast a doubtful look at him:

"Tangerine-kun?"

This time, Qingdeng finally spoke.

"...No, I won't leave. I want to wait for the officials from the Kyoto Administrative Office to come."

As soon as these words came out, confusion appeared on the expressions of Sanako and Komaki.

"If you think about it carefully, although I have traveled to various important places in Kyoto today, I have not yet been to the shrine."

Qingdeng paused for a moment, then added in a firm tone:

"I want to see with my own eyes what kind of virtue the Kyoto Sanctuary is today."

Sanako opened her beautiful eyes in surprise.

"You want to be detained on purpose? Stop making trouble. If you want to inspect the Kyoto Prison, there are many ways, right? Why do you need to use such a method?"

“‘Passers’ and ‘prisoners’—the scenery they see and the perceptions they experience are completely different from each other.”

Speaking of this, Qingdeng changed into a joking tone.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. In terms of status, the Governor of the Gyeonggi Province is far above the Kyoto Governor and the Kyoto Town Governor, and I'm only responsible to the General. Even the Emperor himself can't tell me what to do. If things go wrong,

I can kill the entire monastery alone."

"I'm not worried about your safety."

Sanako said angrily.

"Of course I know that the people in the execution office can't do anything to you, I just don't think you need to look for trouble."

Because Qingdeng and others kept their voices down when talking, outsiders couldn't hear what they were saying.

They only saw that Qingdeng not only did not leave the scene immediately, but also chatted happily with his companions, looking carefree.

The well-meaning people headed by the young samurai who had just advised Qingden to leave quickly became very anxious after seeing this.

Just when they were about to say something more——

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua...!

The sound of footsteps approaching from far away suddenly arrived.

Follow the sound - a group of official officers holding ten-hand, long ladders, thorns and other weapons are running towards this direction quickly.

The young warrior was shocked:

"It's over...the dog officers from the execution center are here..."

The official mission has arrived, and there is no chance to escape... The young warriors and others all looked at Qingden with expressions of regret, pity, and hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel.

As a result, they found that Qingdeng still looked like a normal person. Not only did he look normal, but he also joked with great interest:

"No matter when and where they are, these officials are always virtuous... They always arrive late after the incident is over."

The leader of the official team was a short, fat man.

When he arrived at the bloody scene, he was stunned and stunned.

"This, this is...?!"

He looked at the scarred face whose body and head were separated, and then looked at the open-minded Umehara Junyuki.

"Taniguchi-sama?! Umehara-sama?!"

Apparently, he knew Scarface and others.

"What's going on? Who killed these people?!"

"I killed him."

Qingdeng said loudly without hesitation.

"I killed all these people."

The fat man looked at Qingdeng in astonishment - this was probably the first time he had encountered such a prisoner who took the initiative to admit his crime.

After a while, he came back to his senses, turned around and shouted to his subordinates behind him:

"What are you still doing? Why don't you arrest him quickly!"

The overall quality of the officials at the Kyoto Administrative Office was much better than Qingto expected.

Following the fat man's order, the officers immediately formed a very classic formation - those holding long ladders stood at the front and used the long ladders held horizontally to block the target's range of action; those using long weapons such as thorns and forks were

Standing at the back, the forked clubs in their hands passed through the gaps in the long ladder and attacked the target person.

Just when they successfully surrounded Qingdeng and were about to launch an offensive... a dazzling silver light filled their field of vision.

Click!

Their ears heard the sound of a sword being sheathed.

In the next moment, their long ladders and thorns all turned into pieces and fell all over the ground.

For a moment, the officials headed by the fat man seemed to have seen a ghost, their expressions full of horror.

"Go away, don't bring these things near me."

Qingdeng said coldly.

"I will go to the shrine with you. As long as you don't offend me, I won't use force."

After saying that, Qingden took a big step forward.

"Lead the way, take me to the monastery."

The fat man, who was shocked by Qingdeng's superb swordsmanship, said anxiously:

"Okay, okay!"

Fatty walked in front and took the lead for Qingdeng himself.

The other officials followed closely behind him.

Not only was the prisoner not tied up, but he also held his head high and looked high-spirited.

The officials all tightened their bodies and looked frightened.

In such a scene, it is almost impossible to tell who is the prisoner and who is the official.

Sanako stood there with a complicated expression as he watched Qingto walk away surrounded by a group of officials.

Goro Komaki crossed his arms and asked her with a half-smile:

"Miss Chiba, what are your plans now?"

"What other plans can I have..."

Sanako sighed softly.

"We can only go back to the station first and truthfully report to our partners the current situation that 'our leader was arrested by the officers of the execution station.'"

After saying that, she turned her delicate body to face Gu Mu and his wife, and bowed solemnly to thank them.

"Mr. Komaki, Miss Atachi, thank you so much for today. I have to excuse you now. I will come to the door with a gift to say thank you in the future!"

Gu Mu and his wife returned the favor one after another.

Sanako left like the wind.
