The Seven Realities of the Rogue

"The recent weather is really annoying."

Qishi took the prepared luggage and walked out of the testing hall together with Jiexiang. This was just an ordinary job, so the apprentices who ran into them would say good morning to them, but no one came to see them off.

There was a light rain yesterday. After the rain, the next day was the morning mist, which blocked the sun. The sunlight was reflected in the water vapor, and gradually became dim and invisible.

"**Unclear."

Jie Xiang spread out her palms in front of her and clenched them tightly again.

"Recently, many people have come to see you. Are you already famous?"

She asked Qishi around her.

"Well, the false name of the number one female swordsman in Edo is unexpectedly useful in attracting business."

Qishi's business at the beginning was given by others because of the appearance of natural Lixinliu and the reputation of the talented swordsman Okita Souji. It is really naive to believe that someone will feel at ease to hire a fifteen or sixteen year old girl like her as a guard.

She thanked the general manager for what she had done for her. Without the help of the general manager, it would be like reaching the sky if she wanted to gain a foothold in Edo.

In the end, thanks to the opportunity given to her by the general manager, Qi used her skills to find a livelihood for herself.

No bandit, thieves, or ronin group could snoop on the interests of the caravans or people she guarded.

Matsushita Nanomi, the female swordsman of ten enemies, or even hundreds of enemies, now, whether it is for safety or to see Qishi's true face, in short, her customer group has stabilized, and her life has also become more stable.

Qishi will feel at ease only after she can pay all the expenses owed to Natural Lixinliu.

If she always owed the director something, her heart would be very blocked and awkward.

This feeling is very bad.

"Let's go to Edo Bay."

There was an appointment first, and the ship couldn't leave the port in such weather, but she didn't receive any news from her employer. Out of credit, Qishi had to go to the pier with Jiexiang and make plans after meeting her employer.

"The employer this time is a wealthy businessman surnamed Sakagami, who sells silk fabrics."

Qishi already knew the basic information from the general manager.

"From here to Nagasaki, this man is doing business with foreigners."

"yes."

"Of course." Jie Xiang was very sure. "In Nagasaki, isn't it just doing business with foreigners?"

Chatted for a while, and borrowed a car on the way. It was still early when we arrived in Edo Bay. In the fog, we found a caravan with the flag printed with Sakagami. Qishi went forward to communicate with the leader of the caravan. .

The leader of the Sakagami caravan, Sakagami Kazuto, a wealthy businessman from a non-gentry family, who has no official position but has a lot of property, often suffers. This time he decided to hire Qishi, but he was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all, he is often ridiculed and bullied by warrior guards. It is a fantasy for him to go to these people to protect himself.

However, this girl is far from what I imagined.

After all, most of the people in the market described Qishi as a very exaggerated existence, so Kazuto Sakagami thought that Qishi had a thick body that was not inferior to men.

"Hello sir."

Qishi holds the sword and bows to Kazuto Sakagami. After asking the sailors of the caravan, it is not difficult to find him.

"You are Matsushita Nanami...Miss Nanami."

Uh, she's just an ordinary petite girl, she doesn't have big heads, six arms, or blue faces and fangs.

"Yes, I am the escort of your fleet this time."

"Well, anyway, please."

Sakagami Kazuto already had the idea of ​​dismissing Nanami.

"please do not worry."

Qishi read the other party's worries, but there was nothing she could do about it. This was a very consistent reaction, relying on her appearance, physique, and wanting to give others a sense of security...

To put it cruelly, now even Matsushita Yuka looks much more reliable than herself.

"I came here to take my own life. As long as I don't turn into a corpse, I will keep you all safe." He gave a reassurance.

"This is a letter of introduction from the natural Lixinliu Master Okita. I do have the strength to keep you."

After reading the letter, Kazuto Sakagami read it back and forth many times, and finally let go of his worries for the time being.

"It's foggy, the time to go to sea is delayed." He said, "Please wait on the boat first, of course, you can also wait on the shore. But, who is this?"

Glancing at Jiexiang, he asked Qishi.

"She is mine..." Servant?subordinate?Qishi said these words in person, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"It's mine, friend, walk with me this time."

Taking advantage of the time before going out to sea, Qishi and Yuxiang stood at the pier and looked at the misty sea in a daze. They didn't board the boat, but chatted about some boring topics on the shore.

"Fog is really bad, I don't like fog." Yuxiang looked at the sea in the east.

"If it's normal, you can see the sunrise at this time." She was really unhappy.

"Block the morning sun."

"This kind of complaint is like an old woman who can only talk about it." Qishi said: "The fog will clear sooner or later. The sun will not exist someday. If you want to see the sunrise, you just have to get up early tomorrow."

Jie Xiang disapproved and shook her head gently.

"Maybe someday the sun won't be there either."

Some things, who knows what it will look like.

Yuxiang, formerly known as Kirikiri Reiko.

At that time, in Nagasaki, the status represented by Kirigiri was second only to samurai.

"Seven fruits, fragrant flowers are fragrant flowers, and fragrant flowers represent luck"

"I know."

"Really, Qi Shi also knows."

Jie Xiang recalled something, and she sighed as if intoxicated.

"It was a long time ago. I was probably only eight years old at the time. A girl younger than me told it to me. She was a little girl who knew a lot. In front of her, it seemed that I was just a little sister."

"So, what about the girl?"

"I don't know, but I think she might be dead."

Jie Xiang's tone became indifferent again, overshadowing death lightly.

"Panasonic, do you want to hear about my past?"

The past that was not her but Reiko Kirikiri should have been completely forgotten, but Yuka found that these memories became clearer as she approached her former hometown little by little.

She wanted to find someone to confide in, but Qishi happened to be beside her.

"Jiexiang, I got my stage name myself, just to make myself luckier."
