What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

Keiji couldn't help closing his eyes, but the feeling of being cut by the blade didn't fall on him after all.

Until he heard a voice with a smile, "Yo, Keiji, you can open your eyes."

The ronin who was holding up the weapon before to slash his head still maintained the previous movement, but the sword in his hand is now between Ishitani Toya's two fingers.

Keiji closed his eyes and couldn't see the moment just now, but Xiaoberry, who opened his eyes wide because of fear, could see clearly.

The figure of this person appeared in front of the two of them in an instant, and then clamped the sharp edge of the sword with his slightly bent middle finger and index finger.

Ronin's previous drunkenness had already dissipated due to this change. He tried to put the knife under his control again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the blade from the two fingers.

"Hey, stop playing, put away the knife!" Ronin's companion also saw that something was wrong and tried to find a step for him.

--I want it too!But I can't move at all!

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Ronin's head, and he shouted in his heart.

Fuyumi shook his wrist, and the force from the blade made the hilt of the knife come out of the hands of the ronin who was already holding the airless grip due to drunkenness. Then he flicked his wrist, turned the knife upside down and sent it back, before the ronin could react Before that, the knife had returned to the scabbard at his waist without any mistakes.

"Really, isn't it just drinking, a little thing makes it so exaggerated." Fuyumi showed a conciliatory smile to Ronin, and then the two brothers patted him on the shoulder nicely, and then pulled him with no acknowledgment Sit down directly at this table.

"I haven't had a drink for a long time. Keiji brought me a wine glass and a wine bottle, and Xiaoberry brought me dinner. I haven't finished eating yet. Let me add two side dishes."

Keiji looked at Tomi, who looked like he was going to have a drink with these ronin, and was a little confused, but Xiao Berry shuddered, and replied: "Okay, Mr. Samurai." Then he pushed his brother left the table.

Surviving near death, Keiji didn't feel his heart beating again until he was near the kitchen, "Little Berry, are you alright?"

"It's okay, brother, go and get a bar for Lord Samurai." Xiao Berry showed a comforting smile.

"What?" Keiji's voice was a little louder, startled himself, and quickly lowered his voice, "Little Berry, don't you want to go get him food like he said?"

"Of course." Xiao Berry took it for granted, "Didn't the samurai give you an order?"

"But……"

"Okay, okay, no, but, I'm really fine." Xiaoberry pushed him again, and simply left by herself.

Keiji entered the kitchen in a daze, and Genji and his wife also noticed the movement outside, but they were busy preparing the appetizers and had no time to separate themselves. They didn't know that their sons and daughters had just experienced life and death, and they just asked Keiji what happened.

Keiji himself was still a little dazed, so he casually said a few words to dismiss him, and then brought out wine and side dishes.

Back at the table just now, he happened to see Xiaoberry bring Dongmi's half-eaten plate to this table, and the white gloves who followed him, automatically and consciously jumped to Dongmi to sit cross-legged on the legs.

"Master Samurai, your dinner."

And just after such a while, Fuyuya had already chatted with those ronin.

"Oh, you are Aizu feudal vassals. I have been in Kyoto for a few days and I have heard about the name of Matsudaira Yoho, and the Shinsengumi... Thank you Xiaoberry——Keiji, bring the wine quickly." Fuyuya said to Keiji beckoned.

Keiji put the wine bottle and wine cup in front of Toyomi, and there was a knocking sound between the porcelain and the table, and he read angrily: "Master Samurai, your wine is here."

Dongmi smiled, not minding his rudeness, while Xiao Berry gave him a nonchalant glance, quickly picked up the wine pot, obediently filled the wine cups in front of Dongmi and other ronin, and then bowed and apologized: " Sir Samurai, and a few guests, I’m really sorry for the poor hospitality before.”

With Fuyumi around, those ronin couldn't do anything to her, not to mention they were talking about it, and such a little girl apologized obediently, and the ronin who did the attack just now waved her, and it was considered to be over.

Xiao Berry quickly pulled away Keiji, who was still a little angrily, and could vaguely hear the chat between Fuyuya and those ronin.

"What Shinsengumi, those Mibu wolves are just low-level warriors and farmers who aren't even warriors, Mr. Rongbao really thinks highly of them for using those guys..."

"Really, I heard that their sword skills are not bad..."

"It's all hearsay, who knows if it's true..."

"That's right, I pretended to maintain the law and order in Kyoto, but I couldn't even catch the knife..."

After walking for a while, Keiji finally couldn't help but said: "How can the samurai be like this—those people almost killed us just now!"

The young Xiao Berry saw it more clearly than her elder brother, so she asked calmly, "Otherwise?"

"Eh?"

"I asked, what else? Let the samurai cut them all?"

"Y-It's not like that..." Keiji said uncertainly, "However, it would be too much to call them brothers and sisters right away, at least we should drive them out!"

"However, the samurai can't stay here forever, but Izumi House will continue to open. If we really drive them out, what should we do if those ronin come to trouble us in the future?"

Xiao Berry's analysis stunned Keiji for a moment, and he was at a loss for words for a while. He calmed down, only to find that the lively atmosphere in the store that was still audible during the conflict just now had restored at some point.

"Anyway, Lord Samurai is the only one who stood up to help us."

Keiji nodded sullenly to express his understanding, but he was still a little entangled. He felt that what Toyomi did was wrong, but he could also predict that if Toyomi really did what he said, he would either cut it back or drive people out of here , it is absolutely impossible for the current store to be in such a warm and peaceful manner.

Those drinkers are just here to have fun, not to cause trouble. There are obviously so many regular customers in the store, but there is only one Toya Ishitani who helped them get ahead just now.

Maybe people are like this, the more they have nothing, the more they yearn for something.

As a passionate young man, Keiji has always yearned for brave warriors and the world where everything is determined by the sword. However, as the son of a merchant, he is destined not to be able to set foot in it.

Although I don't have any dissatisfaction with the family... But, I am always a little unwilling, unwilling to be like my father, who can see the end of his life from now on.

He also has a good impression of Fuyuya, because he thinks that a samurai who can impress even Westerners must be very remarkable.

However, now that he has just experienced Qizhi in the realm of life and death, he feels a little confused.

No matter how confused her brother was, Xiao Berry took off the apron and tie, and threw them into Keiji's arms.

"Okay, I'm pretty busy today, so I'll leave it to my brother alone~"
