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

Obtained by Dongya, Liang Xia watched her adoptive father and Diarmuid leave the room. She knew that this was Dongya giving her a chance to face Kagemaru. Next, she had to rely on her own ability to lead this Instead of being taken away by Kagemaru in turn.

She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Kagemaru, please check the list of those merchants thoroughly and find out who is the leader."

"The lead...?"

"That's right, because I'm also from a small businessman, so I know very well that ordinary businessmen won't have the courage to fight against an organization like Anpingwu." Liang Xia didn't deliberately hide her background, but instead used this As a reason, it enhances the persuasiveness of the discourse.

"...I see, indeed, Miss is right, the attitude of those merchants who refused to pay the protection fee in this matter is very strange." Kagemaru nodded.

Although Anpingya didn't take any special actions to raise its prestige, but in the previous activities against illegal ronin, the combat effectiveness of this organization was still fully revealed.

The so-called scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the most humble occupations.Although there are some big merchants with inheritance, most of the ordinary merchants in this era still live cautiously like her parents by blood.

In the face of Anpingya, which is essentially a violent organization, it is a strange thing for those small businessmen to dare to take the initiative to fight against it. If they had the courage, the businessmen in the former capital would not have been sporadic in the past. The ronin oppressed so hard.

"It's just like this. If everyone fights on their own, they will definitely not dare to refuse to pay the protection fee - what makes them have the courage to fight against Anping House can only be the ignorant herd mentality. Since it is a herd, then it must be Only one instigator stands up and calls out, and even pierce the needle, so as to attract other businesses to join in the idea of ​​not blaming the law." The serious voice of the young girl, under her deliberately stern expression, seemed extremely serious. persuasive.

"Miss, you mean..." Kagemaru's expression became serious, he had thought about it too, but he didn't think deeply about it.

Shi Guliangxia made the final conclusion: "For the specific situation, we need to know who the instigator is and which side he belongs to. But we have to be prepared—this is probably a conspiracy against Anpingya."

Understanding the seriousness of the matter, Kagemaru nodded and immediately stood up, "I understand, miss, I, Kagemaru Kehei, will investigate this matter to the bottom."

……

Following Toyomi out of the living room, Diarmuid asked, "Master Toyomi, aren't you worried about this?"

"Ah, anyway, you can roughly guess which side is playing tricks, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Have you thought of it?"

"Well, this kind of thing... In fact, as long as you think about the consequences of causing trouble for Anpingya, and think about who most hopes for such a result, you can almost get the answer." Fuyumi shrugged shrugged and said.

Diarmuid nodded when he heard the words, he was not interested in the situation in Kyoto, he just didn't want to see his lord's efforts ruined, since Dongmi knew it well, he had nothing to worry about.

On the contrary, it was Fuyuya, who stopped and thought for a while and said, "But... recently, I still have to ask Diarmuid to protect Liang Xia, especially when she is going out."

"... Is Master Dongya worried that the group of people who want to trouble Anpingwu deal with Miss Liangxia?" Diarmuid frowned.

"Yes, considering the opponent's style, I think it's better not to rule out this possibility."

Diarmuid followed Fuyuya all the way and found him walking towards the entrance.

"Are you going out?"

"Well, I'll take Dabai out to bask in the sun, you just stay here and follow Liangxia." Dongmi said, taking the white gloves from Diarmuid.

"Yes, Toya-sama."

Fuyuya put on the straw sandals, opened the door, and bid farewell to Diarmuid.

Shortly after he was out on the street, he dropped his white gloves and let it go.

"Oh, big fat cat, go by yourself, if this goes on, I won't be able to hold you anymore..."

"Meow~"

As if he understood what his master said, White Gloves protested, then obediently followed Toyomi's footsteps, walking through the crowd with dexterous movements that didn't match his body shape.

Fuyuya is also wandering aimlessly, and is attracted by a certain street vendor or shop from time to time, stopping to pick and choose.

There are not many such opportunities recently, and it's not that he dislikes his heroic spirits, but that Westerners are too conspicuous in this era, and taking Diarmuid to the streets will always become the focus of everyone's attention.

Occasionally, he also wants to spend leisurely time in such an ordinary way.

"This is not bad..." Holding the fan-shaped hairpin displayed on the display stand of the store, with gold leaf flower branches adorning the top, Fuyumi happily thought that she should be able to wear it after Liang Xia dressed up... Although it is at least It will be another year.

"My guest, you have a good eye. This is a tortoiseshell that was shipped from Satsuma, and it was carefully polished by our experienced craftsmen." The owner immediately came over.

"Then this one, I want it!" Dong Mi didn't even ask the price, just took out the money, and put it in his arms after the shopkeeper packed it.

Walking out of the store, Toyomi's gaze was attracted by a touch of bright color.

"--what?"

It was a rather young man with a sword, wearing a very high-quality gown and kimono, handsome with a little evil, but the most attractive thing was the short blond hair and scarlet eyes.

As I said before, there are very few Westerners in this era. Diarmuid's black hair and golden eyes will attract attention. When he goes out on the street, the rate of turning his head is almost 200%. Two eyes, not to mention such blond red eyes.

However, the strange thing is that, except for Toya, no one in the whole street seems to think that there is anything unusual about this bright and conspicuous golden presence, and no one casts the slightest glance at this person.

If you take a closer look, the two men who look like entourage behind the other party are obviously not ordinary people. The younger one has blue hair and purple eyes and dark complexion, and the other older one has red hair and blue-blue hair. eyes.

In short, no matter in terms of appearance or demeanor, these three people are absolutely conspicuous, but no one noticed.

In this case, it seemed very abrupt for Fuyuya to stare at people so intently.

The blond-haired man in the lead stopped suddenly, turned his head, his scarlet eyes met Toyomi's gaze, following the blond-haired man's movements, the two followers behind him also cast their gazes on Toyomi.

Having been caught, Fuyumi scratched his cheek, waved his hand as a greeting, and at the same time showed a silly smile in the eyes of the other party.
