The Seven Realities of the Rogue

late July 1853

"Reiko! Reiko!"

Jizhi Wukiri came to the harbor to look for his daughter, and many people would salute him along the way, because the Wukiri family was in charge of this area of ​​business for seven or eight times, and their ships would not only sail to Japan, but also Then some of them will also do business with foreigners.

Reiko Kirikiri is Jizhi's daughter. This girl from the Wukiri family is so lively that it is a headache. Although the Wukiri family is not a noble family, but with their financial resources, it is impossible to let Reiko go. However, Reiko is not naughty. All the members of the family Arrangements, lessons, she did everything perfectly, but she could never stay quietly like a young lady during her spare time. Whenever the lessons were over, the so-called upbringing was also left behind by Reiko.

Whenever she could, she went to the harbor.

When Kiriri Noriko found Reiko, she was climbing on the edge of a fishing boat, and she was still wearing the kimono she was wearing when practicing flower arrangement.

"Woo..." She tried her best to use her right leg to hook the railing. This attitude showed that she didn't want to walk the normal way.

"Lingko!"

"!" After hearing her father's shout, Reiko was frightened. She lowered her head and saw her father was there.

"Ugh."

Ji Zhi hugged his daughter and put her on the ground.Every time he saw the child's disheveled and grinning appearance, he couldn't put up his face and teach him a lesson no matter what.

"As I said before, don't wander around as a guest today."

"Oh, oh, but..." Reiko hesitated and seemed to want to say something more, but after her father gave her a look, she could only stick out her tongue and remained silent.

I have always wondered why she is needed for the family entertainment, rather than sitting in front of those father's guests like a puppet toy, listening to the same praise, she wants to come out to play and see things on the sea.

Moreover, there have been more and more steel black ships appearing nearby recently, and many of them are styles that Reiko does not remember.

Now Reiko is almost captured by curiosity, and even dares to risk being punished by her family to enter and leave the "forbidden place" which is very dangerous for her.

"Reiko! This time is different."

How can the father not see what the daughter is thinking.

"The person who came this time is a very distinguished guest, so don't neglect."

"Noble? Is it a samurai?"

"Well, go back and listen to your mother, change your clothes, and the guests will arrive soon."

"Ah."

Reluctantly, Reiko nodded. Growing up in such an environment, she had a very indifferent concept of samurai, and now she is only a seven-year-old child, so in her heart, she hated the one that caused her to be trapped in the The "guest" at home doesn't matter if he is a samurai or not.

Not long after returning home and changing clothes, the guest that Kirikiri Noriyuki said arrived.

As the only heir of the master's family, even if it's just a girl, it's only natural for her to come out to welcome guests with her father.

Today, the person who visited the Kirikiri family was a gentry with the surname Asakura, who mastered all the artillery and firearms in Edo Castle. This is a giant that the Kirikiri family cannot compare with. Of course Reiko couldn't see this, she was just a simple I feel that the aura of this visitor is very different from the previous ones.

"Father."

Reiko secretly looked up at her father's face.

Ji Zhi's expression is very serious and respectful, this is the expression of a servant when he treats his master.

"..." She didn't dare to speak anymore, she retracted her father's hand that she was about to hold, and waited quietly.

The Asakura family did not come to Edo with much fanfare this time, with few entourages and no family crest, but including the contemporary Patriarch Hayato Asakura, his wife and daughter all came.

"Mr. Wukiri!"

As soon as Hayato Asakura came up, he found Kirigiri Noriyuki, he didn't care about formal greetings, and quickly walked in front of Jizhi. Hayato was shorter than him, but he, a businessman, couldn't match the aura of the superior of.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Master Asakura, please come inside." Kirikiri Noriko bowed to invite Hayato into the inner courtyard, not daring to cross the boundary at all.

This is not a relationship of friends, but rather a greeting of a boss.

"Mrs. Asakura, please come with your daughter."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wuqie's daughter is also seven years old this year, and I haven't seen my niece for a long time."

Hayato gently pushed out his daughter who had been hiding behind his wife

"Let's go, go play with Wuqie for a while, father, I have something to tell my uncle."

Reiko saw the little girl who had been hiding and dared not show her face before, the eldest lady of the Asakura family, different from her who just had money in her family, a real girl from a noble family.

"..."

so cute.

Reiko has always been praised by everyone as a beautiful little girl, and Reiko, who is only a child, is already a little picky about her appearance.

However, this girl is so cute, as exquisite as an ancient painting, but she is just a girl younger than herself.

"Reiko, let's take my sister to play."

"Uh-huh."

She agreed, and Reiko didn't want to listen to the adults talking about things that would make her doze off, so she hurriedly took the girl's hand and ran towards the courtyard.

"..."

The girl was dragged away for a while, and she didn't speak until she was far away.

"I can go by myself."

"Uh, that..." Reiko let go of her hand in embarrassment, and after a while, she said

"Sorry, that, you, can I call you Asakura?"

Asakura nodded, her attitude didn't look like a child at all, unknowingly, Reiko's "sister" aura quickly disappeared.

"This is the atrium of my home."

Reiko was a little happy to be with her peers.

"very beautiful."

Asakura walked to a bush, she pointed to the yellow-brown flowers growing on it, the flowers looked like carefully knotted rosettes, it was really an inconspicuous flower, at least before Asakura pointed it, Reiko never Notice the shape of this flower.

"This is the fragrant flower." Asakura said

"It represents luck."

"Lucky?" Reiko said to herself, repeating.

"It can bless people's life in peace, and I haven't seen the fragrant flowers for a long time."

She knelt down, touched the petals with her fingers, and the expression on her face showed that she was a little happy.

"It's so boring." Asakura burst out these four words, and Reiko didn't respond at all.

"Do you know what's really interesting here?"

really funny?

"Of course!" She could feel that this Asakura little girl might be the same kind of person as she was, and how could people like them feel at ease enjoying the flowers in the courtyard.

"Come to the port with me! I have a secret passage, don't tell my father."

Port of Nagasaki, definitely interesting.
