[War Engraved Night Blood] Himiko's War

Chapter 43

It's just that no matter how Kaoru Ishida understood Ranmaru's mood, after rushing back to the city overnight, she still hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and wanted to return to her room as if fleeing.

"Is it... Ah Xun?"

At the gate of the courtyard, Kaoru Ishida was stopped by a voice, which made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning.Apricots?Why is she here?Kaoru Ishida was in a state of confusion, this was different from any other time in the past, she couldn't even think of how to make up a reasonable excuse to explain why she was wearing a general's soft armor now.

"I..." After saying such a simple word, Ishida Kaoru found that his voice was terribly dry.

"Ah Xun..."

Kyoko hugged her from behind Ishida Kaoru, with her arms around her waist, making her feel the trembling from Kyoko clearly.

"Don't think about making up those lame explanations," Kyoko choked with self-blame and guilt, "Ah Xun is the seventh Ji Shenzi, right?"

Kaoru Ishida was silent, but he couldn't say anything if he wanted to deny it.

"Do you know how worried I am? I'm so scared, I'm afraid you'll never come back again..." Even without Ishida Kaoru's response, Kyoko was still talking, as if she was just venting her uneasiness. "I should have guessed it long ago, and I should have confirmed it long ago. Why did you hide it from me, ah Xun, if I knew it earlier, if I had known it earlier... woo..."

Kaoru Ishida finally sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Kyoko, I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago, but Ji Miko in everyone's eyes is too strange, at first I just didn't want to become strange in your eyes too people."

The arms around the waist suddenly tightened and then relaxed, and Kyoko's muffled voice came from behind.

"and after?"

"Later, I probably didn't know how to explain why I kept it from you. I was afraid that you would be angry and not want me as a friend, so I could only keep it from going on."

"Oh Xun, you idiot!"

The voice behind him was crying again, Kaoru Ishida hesitated and wanted to break away from Kyoko's embrace, but Kyoko stopped him.

"Don't turn around!"

Kaoru Ishida, who felt wronged as the deceiving party, had to stop.After a moment of silence, Kyoko's voice sounded again.

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished, so, ah Xun, go to work with me tomorrow afternoon!"

"Okay." Kaoru Ishida replied without hesitation.If it's just that easy to repair the rift in friendship, she has no reason to refuse.

"It's settled, tomorrow afternoon!" Kyoko let go of Kaoru Ishida, wrinkled her nose in distaste, "I'm so dirty with dust, go take a bath!"

Kaoru Ishida stared at the soft armor that he put back on his body before he had time to clean it on the return trip, as if...was it... so dirty?Coupled with the dust on his head that has not been washed off, Kaoru Ishida smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this just about to take a bath..."

"Then go quickly! Don't forget, tomorrow afternoon!"

"Well, I won't forget."

Kyoko, who was guaranteed by Kaoru Ishida, finally left reluctantly.Kaoru Ishida dragged his tired body to chop some firewood to boil the bath water for himself.

After taking a hot bath happily, Kaoru Ishida, who had a good night's sleep, had a rare sleep until dawn.When I woke up in the morning, Kaoru Ishida was still a little dazed, and it took me a while to wake up.After washing, she rummaged through the clothes she had folded, and found the servant's clothes that she hadn't worn for a long time.

"Speaking of which, I really miss it..." Shaking the rough clothes in his hands, Kaoru Ishida murmured to himself. "Let's have something to eat, I don't know what to do in the afternoon?"

The answer was soon revealed, Kaoru Ishida and Kyoko washed their clothes almost all afternoon.After the two of them hang up the washed clothes, it's not over yet, and Xingzi has to tidy up a warehouse that hasn't been used for a long time.Since he agreed to work with Kyoko, Kaoru Ishida had no reason to leave by himself, so he followed Kyoko to the warehouse.

"Before tidying up the warehouse," Xingzi took out an oiled paper bag at the door of the warehouse, "let's eat something first, the next step is physical work!"

"Okay." Kaoru Ishida took the oiled paper bag, which contained neatly packed rice balls.She casually took one in the middle and ate it. "It seems... a bit strange bitter taste?"

"That's because the rice has been soaked in a powerful drug, and the water for cooking the rice is also mixed with a lot of drugs." Xingzi said calmly without touching the rice balls.

It was only then that Kaoru Ishida realized that the strong numbness spread rapidly from the tip of her tongue, but in just a few breaths, her control over her body was weakened a bit.With trembling hands, he groped towards his waist, and when he found nothing, Kaoru Ishida suddenly realized that because of the change of clothes, and because he had no defense against Kyoko, she didn't bring all her things with her, including the one she got from Ranmaru yesterday. The bottle of antidote/medicine.

"Why..." His body gradually became numb, and Kaoru Ishida couldn't even speak out smoothly.

"Why?" Kyoko took Ishida Kaoru's arm and lifted her up, "I also want to ask why! Why do I like Kaoru so much, and I sincerely regard Kaoru as a friend? What if Kaoru is Hime Miko? Why do I... ..." Kyoko's voice faltered for a moment, "What if I'm the secret agent of Toyotomi's army?"

Careful work?This is something Kaoru Ishida never thought of anyway.

"I have doubted it time and time again, and I have denied it again and again. I really don't hope that Xun will be Ji Shenzi! If you are not the mysterious seventh Ji Shenzi, it will be fine, even if you are just an ordinary maid , No, even the generals of the Oda Army did not make me so sad!" Kyoko's tears fell at some point, "I gave her the poison/medicine, she wants to give it to the Toyotomi Army I also helped to contact the information channel. Why you? Ji Shenzi who was almost killed by me, why you?"

Kaoru Ishida couldn't even speak, and his whole body was spread on Kyoko's body, and Kyoko helped her into the warehouse.In a cleaned corner of the warehouse, Kaoru Ishida was placed on a soft cushion by apricots.

"It's okay, ah Kaoru, it will be over soon. Soon, the Oda Army will no longer have any Seventh Princess. So, sleep peacefully." Kyoko held Ishida Kaoru's face and said softly, her Big tears fell on Ishida Kaoru's face.

Kyoko's tears were a little hot... This was Ishida Kaoru's last thought before completely losing consciousness.

The author has something to say:

I have hinted that Kyoko has a problem. For example, the heroine met the bandit for the first time, and Kyoko’s reaction was not fear; the second time the heroine met the bandit, Kyoko was actually intercepting people who came out of the jungle at the side door; The information about the mansion actually refers to Kyoko.And every time the heroine and Kyoko are together, Changxiu will have an attitude of "you are too vigilant" towards the heroine.Kyoko has served many Ji Shenzi, so the heroine knows how to use stoves and soap beans, and Changxiu said that the heroine has a heavenly stage, and has repeatedly dispelled Kyoko's suspicion of the heroine, but the heroine has many loopholes. Even if Kyoko wanted to deceive herself, she had to accept that the heroine was Ji Shenzi.
