359 Episode 358: The Dark Fight

Side:??

"Come on, why don't you throw up?

"... I've said it many times... I am not a vegetarian..."

Caught on Imawa territory in Surugawa, already ten days. I may not be able to do this anymore. [M]

Even if he was born in a poor house in Koga and called out to live, it should be noted that he lived to this age because he had a family.

I didn't expect to be caught by the enemy by the time it was almost six months old, relying on Kuyuan of Ozhang with his family...

Will my father or mother be worried? Will my wife or daughter cry?

I want you to forgive me for not being able to go back.

I'm just not worried about my family's future. It's not like Koga. Master Kuyuan protects us all and will surely make us a world without war or anything. I am the foundation of it.

"Why don't you kill him already?

"It's been stopped. I'm telling you not to kill him until we find out who he is."

How dare you torture me these past ten days? If you think you're going to torture me like a vegetarian. Is that Imawa's instructions? Or are these the Lord's commands?

I only sold drugs to the villages in the first place. There's no reason to get caught.

You can't walk properly anymore because of torture. Even if help comes, I can't get away with it. But it is Kuyuan's code not to make your life crude. We have to protect that.

And at the very least, I want to let my people know that I did not run away from my code until the end.

"... who"

In a dark night where even the stars were hidden, there were sudden signs of people entering the chamber.

Those who darken their bodies. No way, help? That can't be right. This is Surugawa. Besides, it's too early to come from Ozhang.

"I'm here to help. Good luck with that."

"I can't do this anymore. I can't even walk. Kill me."

I didn't know you really came for help. And it's a woman. Who is it?

"No problem. Come on, let's go."

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

I was able to get out of jail when the woman carried me. I can't stop crying. I didn't know help was coming in this enemy land......

The wind is cold at night even though it is already rainy.

He was easily rescued from the castle of the people, but was surrounded by a group of strangers wondering if he had stopped on his way.

Five allies. Will there be between twenty and thirty enemies? No, you can't. You can't run away without me. If I can't help you, at least let me buy you some time.

"You're still here. The shadow crowd of Kuyuan's house."

What is a shadow crowd? I serve Kuyuan's house, but I don't know either, do I?

"Oh, what is it?

"I already know that there are shadow people in the Kuyuan family who protect vegetarian breaks unknowingly"

"Yes. That's a pretty good name. That's what I'm gonna call you next time."

I try to come forward and become a bearer, but the bearer will not let me down. When all four of them have laid out to defend me, a woman pulls out her sword by herself and confronts the enemy.

Stupid. Are you willing to fight this number alone!?

"Die!"

A lot of people are passive. The enemies come together to surround us, but women are not the only ones. But the enemy is also quite skilled. Why are these people fighting for my rescue?

"Around!"

"Become..."

I close my eyes unexpectedly mourning the incompetence of nothing, but all I could hear was the voices of men whose lives could be fulfilled.

I can't believe it. Only five of us have slaughtered them all!?

Who are you? Are you kidding me? If that other one. Or......

Mission accomplished.

No, it's not, it's not Bar's voice right now.

"Brilliant."

All the enemies took over, but a new one emerged from nowhere again. This one's bareback. Besides, it could be Upper Shinobi. But he doesn't look hostile. The hell......

"Thank you for this. Please tell us."

And when a woman cometh unto the newcomer a word of gratitude, he departeth, and I am carried away, and I move somewhere in the darkness.

Nevertheless, I had no idea you could run so fast with me on your back. It is also the woman who bears it. I wonder who it really is.

"That's..."

"If we get this far, we'll be fine."

It was almost dawn when I was out in the ocean, but I see a ship.

That is..., a Nambarian ship. It is a ship used by the lord in Tsushima.

No way. Is that why you're here?

"Well done. It's all right now."

As soon as we boarded the ship, the ship departed. So those who helped me finally took the mask, but I had no idea it was the wives.

Your appearance stood out among His Highness's wives. A wife with black skin like burnt in the day. His name is indeed, Master Ursa. You think there is an area far west with black people with skin like Ursa?

"Wow, that's a terrible wound. I'll treat you right away."

It is also the black wife of my skin who has carried me. I thought you heard this one was a pharmacist's apprentice. His name is Dear Hilza. You two came to Oozhong from time to time, but you just relaxed.

"I didn't know your wife could help you...... What a thank you..."

"No, you were captured to bring us out. Sorry. I guess Imawa was willing to end this as he checked out who we were because he helped some of his fellow catchers and others who had escaped before. It's just that the wind demon has informed me of the enemy's plan. Glad you could make it."

I have taught Ursa the reverse of what happened while leaving myself to the rocking of the ship.

Not a shadow crowd, but it seems that Master Ursa and Master Hilza, along with a handful of sneakers, specialize in allied support and rescue in the unlikely event.

They have rescued the sneakers before when they were captured by the Imawa family, or when Imawa's vegetarian breakdown escaped.

But what would have surprised me was that I had already fought the Hojo winddemon.

Many of the sneakers of our Kuyuan family are Koga. I am not very familiar with Surugawa, but I have known Surugawa since before we arrived if it is the wind demon of the Hojo family that has been adjacent to this river for many years.

He said he shared information with each other and promised to help if his allies were caught.

"I'll give you a reward for my hard work later. But there's nothing else to say about today. It's too early to fight the Imagawa family."

"Ha. I understand."

"Like healing wounds for a while. Yeah, well, there's a hot spring in the Krabby River. You should rest there."

Speaking of which, you were told when you first served Master Kuyuan. If you betray, you will turn your chaser even to the end of the earth, but if you are faithful, you will go to the enemy land to help.

I honestly thought it was just an exaggeration, but was it true?

It's still early to fight Imawa. He who serves Kurumiya will understand. War is not just about fighting.

This is done through intensive investigations and measures. Imawa is mighty. Because Oda is not the same person he's fought before.

Nevertheless, I had no idea you were coming to help me on a Nambarian ship for my new girlfriend.

Too bad I can't brag about my daughter saying I want to get on this boat.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

There are shadow crowds in Kuyuan's house. That is one sentence written in the letters of a certain people of the same period, Surugawa.

There seemed to be various anecdotes, such as the captured sneak disappeared neglectfully or the chaser vanished altogether, which seemed quite fearful at the time.

I'm not sure what this means the most. There is no clear evidence that the Kuyuan family was using sneak, although it is certain that they were investing in gathering information.

There is a theory that the Kuyuan family were served by the Takikawa and Hozuki families from Koga, and they worked as sneaks, but it is unclear because no specific trustworthy material has been left behind.

However, it is certain that Shinobu Takigawa became famous from one sentence of this letter in his later creation.
