"But, but..." But? Heiichiro still raised his question? "Although the government says they will grant us a pardon, but... will they really keep their promise?"

"I can only choose to trust the government first." Shichiemon said in a deep voice? "Our current situation? There is no other choice but to trust the government."

"At this stage? Still try to fulfill the government's requirements first."

"What will happen later, we can only leave it for later."

"...I see." After being silent for a while, Heijuro nodded gently. "Okay...then I will join you! Please give me your advice for the future!"

"Welcome to join! Heijuro!" Shichiemon opened his arms with his signature soft smile on his face, "I represent the rest of the companions? You are welcome to join!"

……

That night——

As Ogata, A-Machi and the others speculated—the rain today showed no signs of stopping until nightfall.

"It seems that I really have to spend the night in this cave..." After looking at the rain curtain outside the cave, Ogata turned his head and said to A-cho, "A-cho, you go to sleep first. You come to watch after midnight."

"it is good!"

A-cho didn't make any excuses either? He moved a stone of moderate height, used the stone as a pillow, and used the cold rocky ground as a bed.

Ogata looked at Machi who was lying on his side on the ground.

Machi is now facing away from Ogata.

So her smooth back and shoulders were unobstructed in front of Ogata's eyes.

Looking at A-Machi who was dressed so coolly? Ogata couldn't help asking:

"Is it okay for you to dress like this? Don't you feel cold?"

"This is the uniform of the female ninjas in Shiranui." A-Ming replied, "This cold back and shoulders? I've been used to it for a long time. Although it is indeed a bit cold tonight..."

"Of course it's cold." Ogata said helplessly, "Where we live now? It's a shady cave. It's still raining outside? No wonder it doesn't feel cold."

After all, Ogata took off the light onion-colored haori on his body, walked slowly to A-Ming's side, and gently covered A-Ming's body.

"...Thank you." As Machi thanked, she tightened Ogata's haori covering her body.

"I will borrow this haori from you temporarily." Ogata said softly, "If you still feel cold, then there is nothing I can do. After all, if I take off my clothes again, I will be naked."

"Thank you." Ah-Ming thanked again.

She opened her originally closed eyes, and glanced down at the light onion-colored feathers on her body.

An inexplicable smile appeared on A-Machi's face.

"This haori is very warm..."

……

……

at the same time--

On the coast facing Butterfly Island across the sea——

Inamori, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, stood on the shore with his guards and subordinates.

On the sea in front of them, two small boats... No, it should be a small boat dragging the other small boat, slowly approaching the coast against the wind and rain.

Of all the small boats that took the prisoners to the island today, one of them was missing.

After hearing the news, Inamori immediately dispatched a large number of search teams to find the missing boat with an ominous premonition.

And just now, a messenger finally told him that the missing boat had been found, and the soldiers who found the missing boat were dragging the missing boat back.

After hearing the news, Inamori immediately led his guards and subordinates to the coast to see with his own eyes what happened to the missing boat and why it did not return on time.

Although wind and rain hindered the movement of the small boats, it was very difficult, but the two small boats finally landed smoothly.

After the two small boats docked, Inamori immediately rushed forward and looked at the small boat that had just been recovered.

As soon as his gaze fell on the small boat, Daomori's face instantly turned livid.

On this small boat lay the bodies of 18 soldiers.

Chapter 178

Falling in love with you Kanshu.com, I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Without exception, these 18 soldiers all stared round their eyes, and they did not rest in peace.

There was a look of astonishment in his pupils and face.

The boat was filled with a strange pink liquid made of rainwater, sea water, and blood.

Some soldiers died in such a miserable state that they were directly divided into two, and various internal organs leaked everywhere.

Some of the guards and subordinates beside Inamori turned pale and almost vomited when they saw such a tragic situation.

And the little officer who had found the missing boat and dragged it back had turned over from his boat and walked quickly to Inamori's side.

"General." The little officer said in a deep voice, "I found this missing boat somewhere on the coast of Butterfly Island."

"This is what I saw after I found the missing boat"

The small boat responsible for escorting the prisoners to the island, all the soldiers on the boat died tragically with their buttocks, it must be a good thing done by the prisoners on this small boat.

"Which prisoner is this boat responsible for transporting?!" Inamori roared at a subordinate behind him.

"It's the demon monk Yichun." The subordinate said with a sullen face, without thinking, "Only the boat responsible for escorting the demon monk Yichun is equipped with a full 18 soldiers."

"Yao Monk Kazumi!" Inamori gritted his teeth.

In the past few months, they have sent 4 batches of prisoners to Butterfly Island.

But this was the first time that all the soldiers responsible for escorting the prisoners to the island were massacred.

This made Inamori feel a great sense of shame.

If it wasn't that he couldn't let the army land on the island easily, otherwise Inamori really wanted to wave the military flag directly, command the army under his command to land on Butterfly Island, capture the "demon monk", and teach him a harsh lesson.

After ordering the burial of all these tragically dead soldiers, an orderly suddenly rode a fast horse towards Daomori.

"General!"

Before and after the fast horse arrived at Inamori, the orderly turned over and dismounted in smooth movements, then knelt down on one knee in front of Inamori and reported:

"Master Kamiyama of Wakayama Castle has sent news that the doctors sent by the shogunate to study ogres will arrive tomorrow night!"

"Is it finally here?!" Inamori's eyes flashed with excitement.

The arrival of this good news slightly dilutes the haze that just emerged in Inamori's heart after witnessing the massacre of his subordinates.

For months, Inamori had been waiting.

Waiting for the shogunate to gather the best doctors in the world and send them here, let these doctors study how to kill those "ogres".

next morning

The third day when Ogata and others landed on the island.

"Ayi! Ayi! Get up! Get up!"

Machi's voice came from next to his ear.

Open your eyes.

Ogata's beautiful face appeared in front of Ogata's eyes.

"Good morning how did you sleep last night?"

"Good morning slept well last night"

Ogata sat up slowly while rubbing his face.

Looking out of the cave entrance, the warm sunshine is penetrating into the cave along the cave entrance.

Even in the depths of the cave, Ogata could still feel the warmth brought by the warm sunshine.

Last night, nothing happened.

No one with malicious intentions found Ogata and Atachi, and the two were able to spend a very peaceful night.

"The rain has stopped," Ogata muttered.

"Hurry up and pack your luggage and get ready to go." A Ding said.

"Yeah." Ogata echoed, while putting on the haori that was finished as a quilt and put it back on his body, "Let's go to the depths of the island today. Such a big island, maybe there are people living there." Here, I want to look for the residents of this island. By the way, I want to find a reliable source of water."

Neither of them had any luggage, so they were soon ready to go.

Ah-ding put her iron cannon back on her back and covered it with a sackcloth.

And Ogata also tied up the knives he brought from the three bandits yesterday, and carried them on his back.

After leaving the cave, finding the right direction, the two walked side by side.

"Speaking of which" when the two of them were rushing on the road at an unhurried speed, Ogata suddenly asked A-Machi beside him, "I haven't asked you yet, what did you do and you were arrested?" It was caught here."

"Ah, this one"

After being silent for a while, A-Machi replied:

"Now that you and I are partners, let me tell you what the truth is."

"I landed on this island by order."

"Order?" Ogata asked suspiciously, "Is it the order given to you by the leader of your Shiranui?"

"That's right." A-Machi nodded, "Our ninjas in Shiranui are not only good at assassination, but also not weak at intelligence gathering."

"The leader of our Shiranui received the news: the shogunate drove the felons from all over the country to Butterfly Island in Kii, with the intention of destroying a monster called ogre."

"Our leader is somewhat interested in the so-called cannibals."

"So I was sent to find out what an ogre is."

"As for how to get to Ji Yi, it's really too simple. Just commit some crimes and let the government arrest you."

"I casually found Yakuza who did a lot of evil and killed them all. Then I was caught by the government on purpose, and then I was sent here."

"Just to satisfy my curiosity, I let you come here to take risks." Ogata frowned slightly, "That leader of yours doesn't seem to be a good bird either."

"No way," Ah-cho said with a wry smile, "Who called me a ninja? No matter what the leader orders me to do, I have to do my best to do it. This is a ninja."

"It's okay. My luck is good. The mission is going smoothly so far."

"I just want to quickly get information related to ogres that can be handed over to the leader, and then leave this ghost place as soon as possible."

"Actually, at the end of the day," Ogata muttered, "What the hell is an ogre? Is it a human? Or some kind of animal?"

"I don't know either." A-Ming echoed, "Although the guy named Inamori said that there are ogres on this island, we haven't seen any kind of ogre since we landed on the island." Related creatures. Could it be that all these ogres are staying in the center of the island! Ayi! I saw the village!"

A-Machi suddenly let out a cry full of surprise, and then pointed forward.

"village?"

Ogata followed A-Machi's finger and looked forward.

However, he did not see any shadows that looked like buildings.

"Where is there a village?" Ogata asked doubtfully.

"It's just ahead. It's quite far away. Let's hurry up and have a look! Talk to the residents of this island, maybe we can learn some information about ogres!"

After saying that, A-Machi spread his feet first and ran forward.

Chapter 179

Ogata followed closely behind A-Machi, and ran forward with A-Machi one behind the other.

It didn't take long for Xu to see the shadows of buildings beginning to appear in front of him.

"There really is a village..." Ogata muttered, "Machi, your eyesight is really good..."

"Of course. Good eyesight is also one of my proudest abilities...huh?"

A-Ming suddenly twitched her little nose, and then slowly frowned.

The person who also frowned, and Ogata who was walking beside her.

The two of them smelled a... strange smell almost at the same time.
