"For some reasons, he couldn't come here right away."

"However, I have already asked him to rush to the warehouse."

"He met us at the warehouse and then entered the warehouse together!"

Qingdeng listened and nodded gently:

"That's it, that's good. I just want to rush to the warehouse immediately. Everything else is beyond the scope of my promise."

Miss Sumire nodded in agreement:

"Well, each other! Now, let's get going!"

Before she finished speaking, she jumped up as lightly as plucking onions on dry land, reached out to grab the rafters under the eaves, then flipped up like origami, and stood firmly on the roof.

"Tachibana Aki, follow me!"

The next moment she finished speaking, she raised her feet and ran wildly, making the wooden planks and tiles on the roof creak under her feet.

In just two breaths, his figure disappeared into the boundless night.

…

…

From a certain perspective, Qingto can be regarded as a ninja.

After joining the New Royal Court, he received extremely strict ninja training.

From leaping across houses, to sliding doors and picking locks, to indoor fighting, apart from a few sporadic tricks such as concealed weapon throwing and seduction techniques, Qingto has mastered all the skills that a ninja should know.

Therefore, he easily caught up with Miss Sumire without any effort.

Ebina Ye Zong, Ah Tao, Amei and other kunoichi also followed closely.

Qingto and Ebina Ye Zong were running on the ground.

The female ninjas headed by Sumire-san were all moving on the roof.

Frankly speaking, Qingnobo really doesn't understand why the kunoichi are so fond of "flying over the roof and walking over the wall".

If it was to chase someone, or to run diagonally across the street, it would be okay to do so.

But now this section of road can be moved on a flat street, but Miss Sumire and others insist on staying on the roof.

The same goes for Kinoshita Mai. She would jump up to the roof if she disagreed with her. Even if there was a road to take, she would not change her preference.

Just as the group was immersed in their journey, Qingden suddenly heard Miss Sumire shouting:

"A Tao! Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten yet tonight, I'm almost starving!"

"Ah! Yes, yes! I just happened to have a rice ball with me."

As Tao said, he took out a paper bag from his arms and threw it to Miss Sumire.

Miss Sumire waved her hand, caught the paper bag firmly, and tore it open with her teeth, revealing a fist-sized rice ball wrapped in seaweed.

She just continued to run, while devouring the rice balls, her cheeks bulging high, like a squirrel collecting supplies for the winter.

This look... at best is heroic, at worst it's unladylike.

While eating, she suddenly frowned:

"Why are there plums in the rice balls... Damn it, I really want to eat rice balls stuffed with salmon...!"

After hearing this, A Tao quickly apologized:

"No, I'm very sorry!"

"Ah, no need to apologize. I was just complaining."

Even when she was talking to someone, her eating speed did not slow down at all.

She stuffed the remaining rice ball into her mouth three times, and then licked her fingers with unfinished content.

Qingdeng, who had a panoramic view of this scene from the corner of his eye, couldn't help but think to himself:

——Is this Miss Sumire’s true character...

After learning that Zi Yang was Miss Sumire, Qing Teng experienced what "disillusionment" meant for the first time in his life.

Previously, Aoshito's impression of Ziyang was no different from the public's impression of Ziyang - she was beautiful, dignified, and full of charm, and she was well-deserved as "the best geisha in Kyoto".

On the other hand, she is now presented as "Miss Sumire"...the so-called "two different people" is nothing more than that.

The face is still the same, but the temperament and behavior are completely different.

Take the rice dumpling just now as an example——

Not only did it look unpalatable, but after discovering that the rice ball was not to his liking, he secretly cursed "Damn it."

Also, after eating the rice balls, she did not forget to lick her fingers... Although her finger licking movements were very elegant and did not make people feel vulgar, but showed a strange temptation.

If the fans of "Ziyang" were allowed to see this scene, I'm afraid they would die and not want to believe their own eyes, let alone believe that the person in front of them could be the perfect geisha that they are fascinated by.

If "Purple Yang" symbolizes perfection, it symbolizes "a man's ideal woman".

So "Miss Sumire"... Qingden thought about it and came up with a very appropriate description——

If "Miss Sumire" wore a long skirt that reached her ankles and added some tongue-in-cheek accents when speaking, she would be a standard bad girl!

Her bold and unrestrained posture, as well as her high-status attitude when talking to A Tao, Amei and others, made her look like a big sister.

"Perfect Geisha" or "Bad Girl", which one is the real her?

Qingden prefers the latter.

Just when Qingteng was secretly lamenting Miss Sumire's "double image", he suddenly heard Miss Sumire's questioning voice:

"Tachibana Aki, it's too troublesome to pronounce your word 'tachibana'. It has four syllables (Tachibara). For the sake of convenience, can I just call you 'Aki' for short?"

Qingdeng replied without hesitation:

"Please. However, in exchange, can I just call you 'A Jin'? 'Miss Jin' is very troublesome to pronounce."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Tao, Ah Mei and other female ninjas immediately turned their heads and cast displeased glances at him.

Although they expressed their dissatisfaction very restrainedly, Miss Sumire herself nodded straightforwardly:

"Okay. It's just a title. You can call me whatever you like."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then started talking about business:

"An Yi, although the current situation is urgent, if you think about it from another angle, this might as well be a good opportunity to severely damage the Zunhuang faction."

"Your subordinates successfully found the meeting place of Miyabe Daizo, Katsura Kogoro and others - this is an unexpected surprise for us!"

"As long as we take down the warehouse and deal with Yoshida Minoru and others who were responsible for setting fire to the city, and then your subordinates will kill all Miyabe Daizo and others from Ikedaya, then it will be the best of both worlds!"

"These guys gathered in Kyoto tonight are all capable men of the Zunbo Sect."

"If all these people die...then the deeds of today and tonight will be recorded in history forever!"

Compared to Miss Sumire's excitement, Qingto is particularly calm.

Even after listening to the other party's impassioned speech, he looked indifferent.

Maybe he was just unfounded, but he always felt that...for tonight's action, the Zunbang Sect had been preparing for a long time and mobilized countless manpower and material resources.

Can they really win easily?

As soon as he thought of this, Qingden couldn't help but raise his left hand and hold Vairochana at his waist.

…

…

Kyoto, somewhere——

Under the leadership of Miss Sumire, the group arrived at the outskirts of Kyoto.

A remote, shabby-looking warehouse caught Qingdeng's eyes.

"This way."

Miss Sumire turned a corner and led everyone into a dark alley near the warehouse.

Qingden raised his ears and activated his talent "Perception of Wind +3" - and sure enough, there was noisy movement in the warehouse, and there were quite a few people.

"A Tao, go check on the situation."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, A Tao jumped out like a rabbit.

About 3 minutes later, she returned to everyone.

"Miss Sumire, the situation... is not good..."

A Tao swallowed hard and continued with an ugly expression.

"There are a lot of people in the warehouse, about thirty people."

"The opponent's weapons are very sophisticated. In addition to swords and wakizashi, they also have short spears, naginata, and bows and arrows."
