[Comprehensive] Xifang Qi Tan

061

In the year of Nagi Kanbara's twentieth year, the ghost army commanded by Shinsuke Takasugi was already quite strong.

And it just so happened that the shogunate, which they had always wanted to sneak into, finally gave them a chance.

As far as Jinsuke is concerned, he has always hoped to arrange capable eyeliners to work as his undercover agents in the shogunate, and such a shogunate suddenly started hiring priestesses last week.

All of this was like waving to Nagi Kanbara, and even Jinsuke couldn't think about the possibility of arranging her as a female undercover agent.

After all, in the past few years, Nagi Kanbara has also carefully disguised herself as a man, so the identity of "Nagi Kanbara" has never shown up except for expelling demons from high-ranking officials, let alone having anything to do with barbarians.

And because she is well-known in the work of exorcising demons, it is estimated that her name has been praised before, so it should not be too difficult to enter the shogunate.

The only thing to worry about is that after she enters the shogunate, she will not be able to see Jinsuke for a long time.

"It doesn't matter what I say, if it can help you, I think it's fine." Nagi and him had dinner, and said with a smile: "This way you don't have to worry about who gets in, and the previous sent The undercover agents who went in were all inexperienced, and they were exposed in the end, causing you to have to re-cultivate them again and again."

If she can do it all at once, both Jinzhu and her can save a lot of effort.

And Takasugi Shinsuke looked at her, opened his mouth, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Nagi."

"what?"

"……nothing."

He didn't know how to express his emotions, so he closed his eyes and left the dining room.

And Nagi Kanbara sat at the dining table, watching him walk away with unhurried and graceful steps, and half-cast his eyes, staring at his hands in a daze.

"Jin Zhu, don't forget me."

……

A month later.

She successfully passed the selection and joined the priesthood of the shogunate almost unimpeded.

Her work is quite busy. After all, although there are many priests in her work department, not many of them have the level of spiritual power as high as hers, so she will soon have to handle cases related to gods and monsters in the shogunate. , and soon her strength also gained the trust of most officials.

Although she is a daughter, she is naturally awe-inspiring.

Even she or Jinsuke didn't expect this effect, and since Nagi Kanbara entered the shogunate, as long as she wanted, she could use the power of Youmu to secretly investigate the news, gradually, compared to assassinating the original target , she and Jinsuke also found that using the position of priest to monitor the transactions and actions of the shogunate and heaven was more meaningful than anything else.

Whenever there are any big or small things, she uses Youmeng to send messages back to Jinsuke, and the latter will use the same method to send messages to her. All in all, the communication is quite safe, and she has no leaks at all. crisis.

However, because her position in the shogunate went so smoothly, she completely lost the opportunity to leave.

Therefore, if the holidays were not counted, she would have been working in the shogunate for almost half a year.

This is obviously a kind of affirmation to her as an undercover agent, but for some reason, when she knew that Jinsuke had recruited several people named Kawagami Wanqi, Takeshi Bianheita and Kurishima Matako into the team by a coincidence. After that, there was a moment of panic.

"Jin Zhu has...found a new partner."

She was nestling in her room in the clothes of a priest, looking out at the colorful night of Edo with a pair of golden eyes.Recently, there is always a lingering feeling of emptiness in her heart, and she also felt that feeling during the war against barbarians.

That is...every time at the end of the battle, when Jinsuke was the first to go to the ghost soldier team, she felt a sense of loneliness when she looked at his back.

Now that I think about it, Yinshi at that time must have seen her leaking emotions, so he came to talk to her every time, right?

She's still lying and saying she doesn't care.

Obviously, in his heart, he wanted to monopolize Takasugi Shinsuke.

……

So, from that day on, Nagi Kanbara suddenly stopped replying to Jinsuke.

Although she kept leaking the official's whereabouts to him, she never left any other small talk on paper.As if to be angry, she didn't respond to any topic about the new ghost soldier team cadres.

On the other side, Takasugi Shinsuke also noticed the change in her attitude, looking at the cold words on the rice paper, he always felt that something was wrong, and he immediately asked her to go back around the second reply letter.

But what she got was a categorical "no".

Shinsuke Takasugi, who has almost never heard Nagi Kanbara speak to him in this tone, even wondered for a while whether Nagi Kanbara was being held hostage. It turned out that it was well teleported to his hands.

Therefore, facing this situation, even Jinsuke could tell that Nagi Kanbara was angry.

But, where did he make her angry?

"...Master Jinzhu?"

"Master Jinzhu?"

"Master Jinzhu—"

"what?"

Jinsuke, who was sitting on the window sill thinking about whether he had done something stupid, was called out one after another by three subordinates. When he came back to his senses, the three pairs of eyes of Wanqi Kawagami, Matako Laishima and Heita Takeshi Already staring straight at him.

"Master Jinsuke, you've been meditating for a long time recently." Takeshi Bianheita clasped his hands in a loud bus and commented.

"Master Jinzhu, do you have any troubles! You can tell me this at any time!" The little girl with big blond hair patted her chest and spoke with a full face of loyalty.

And Jin Zhu looked at the three subordinates, and waved his hands in despair: "You two go out, Wan Qi, you stay."

"Yes, Mr. Jin Zhu." The musician wearing sunglasses bowed his head respectfully, and Zi and Wushi flattened his lips, and retreated angrily as if he had fallen out of favor.

Jin Zhu and Wan Qi were left looking at each other indoors.

"Master Jin Zhu, what are your orders?"

"...Wan Qi, according to this date and time, go to the vicinity to create an incident when the official's mansion is holding a ceremony."

"Okay, it's just Mr. Jinzhu... Isn't this what we originally planned to attack next month?"

"Yes."

"Then why...?"

"Hey, the plan has changed," Jin Zhu said with a troubled expression, "I'm going to bring back a priest from the shogunate."

Wan Qi: "?"
