I only have family in my heart

When the first samurai was summoned, Edogawa Ranpo had already gone to Misaki Ichinomiya's next target territory to find a new reason to declare war.

She was sitting alone on the stone at the gate of the factory, reading a book by the sun.

This is the trigger event for the knowledge attribute in the game:

[You accidentally found a lonely ancient book. 】

【Read it! 】 Possibility to acquire a new knowledge life skill.

[Try to fix it. 】 Knowledge 3, pressure 10.

[Sell it. ] Money 123.

You chose [Read it! ] Then I lit up two new skills in one breath: "Planning and Development" and "Academic Circle".

[Planning and development]: Increase the development efficiency of the family territory by 20%.

[Academic circle]: Each level of prestige level makes knowledge 2.

Nakahara was also stimulated by Edogawa Ranpo, and bought her several sets of "fit" new clothes. After washing them yesterday, they were hanging on the clothesline at the door today, blown away by the wind. Swaying slightly in the air.

Mr. Samurai walked in front of her through the pink cloth.

The girl's attention, however, seemed to be entirely in the book.She looked very carefully and focused.

The sun shone faintly on the ends of her light golden hair. Although the rough white dress looked old, it was very clean.

It seems that it has nothing to do with anything in the dark world.

Just when Mr. Samurai wondered if he had come to the wrong place and the address where he met his employer, Misaki Ichinomiya seemed to have noticed someone approaching, raised his head, looked at the other party and showed a smile.

[Samurai Oda Sakunosuke has come to your territory. 】

You received a game prompt, quickly click on his character panel to view the attributes.

His force value is not as high as in the Central Plains, but it has reached an astonishing 45.

There is also a special trait: "a studious person".

[Student]: Favorability for characters with knowledge-related traits is 10.

You take a look at your character's knowledge, and it's over 20 now.At the beginning of the game, if a character has an attribute value above 15, it is considered excellent. If it is close to 20, it is considered a genius among ordinary humans.

That's why you are determined to win NPCs with attribute values ​​reaching 40 or 50 levels, and you will never allow yourself to miss them.

And maybe it's your high knowledge attributes and traits that attracted such a samurai.

"Oda Sakunosuke" favorability for "Ichinomiya Misaki": 10.

"I received a commission..." Oda Sakunosuke said, "Are you going to hire me?"

When he spoke, his face was expressionless and his tone was calm, as if there were no unnecessary emotional fluctuations.

Misaki Ichinomiya closed the book and stood up, nodded, "Yes."

[Pay 150 gold coins to Oda Sakunosuke and recruit him to your family. 】

150!

Your pupils trembled.

why?

Edogawa Ranpo's knowledge attribute is as high as 50, and it only costs 10 gold coins to recruit him. You think this is the unified price of the system!Why does this samurai need 45 gold coins even though his military value is only 150?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because although Edogawa Ranpo has high attribute values, his social relationship is just a homeless orphan.But Oda Sakunosuke is different, he is a famous killer.

Although Oda Sakunosuke is not very old, he looks even a few years younger than Misaki Ichinomiya, but he has already made a name for himself in the dark world of Yokohama——

Not to mention the unfathomable killing skills, even if caught, no matter how tortured, he will never reveal any information about the client.

That tight-lipped persistence is more willing to hire than simple killing skills.

Therefore, the cost of hiring Oda Sakunosuke is actually very expensive.

After most customers contact him, they have to negotiate with him in detail before finally setting the price, but although you hesitate and feel distressed——

Because you only have a total of more than 200 gold coins now, more than half of which will be deducted at once-you finally accepted it with gritted teeth.

Alas, the opportunity is never lost, and the loss is never to come again. This is a warrior with a military value as high as 45!

So, Oda Sakunosuke saw the girl in front of him, and handed him a cloth bag with a smile——

Her skirt has no pockets, and she was empty-handed before. Where did this cloth bag come from?

Oda Sakunosuke thought so in his heart, but didn't ask.

He stretched out his hand to take the cloth bag, only to feel that it was heavy.

When he opened it, his eyes were dazzled by the golden light inside.

The highest price paid for him in history.

Oda Sakunosuke calmly tied the cloth bag again, and began to think, what will be the mission this time?

Such a high price is enough for him to infiltrate into the heavily guarded special agent department and assassinate the farming chief of the special agent department.

This is already enough money to buy a life.

【Oda Sakunosuke has become your samurai. 】

Oda Sakunosuke asked, "What is the employment mission?"

You quickly set him up as the vacant military commander.There are vacancies for cadres, and many things cannot be done freely, which is very inconvenient.

"I want you to go to this place. Our family has just established a new territory recently, and we need to improve our control."

The three skills of a military commander are:

"Organize Conscripts", "Train Generals", "Improve Family Territory Control".

What Oda Sakunosuke was asked to perform this time was the task of "increasing the control of the family territory".

Misaki Ichinomiya pointed out his destination for him, and asked him to go there for a stroll and act casually. Even Sakunosuke Oda, who never asked much, couldn't help but double-check the task content.

"Act at will?"

"Well, do whatever you want."

Great to talk.

This employer is too easy to talk to.

Oda Sakunosuke had never met such a casual employer before. He returned the cloth bag to Misaki Ichinomiya, and only took out 10 gold coins from it. "Pay the deposit first, and get the rest when I come back."

"Okay..." Misaki Ichinomiya didn't express any opinion on his behavior, she smiled at him just like sending Edogawa out of the house before, "Be careful on the road."

Oda Sakunosuke: ...

Careful on the road?

This seemed to be a caring word, but Oda Sakunosuke thought, maybe the other party didn't mean anything else, just said it casually.

Although... no one had ever said that to him.

Oda Sakunosuke set off with a grim mood.

He thought it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, which was a mission as high-risk as rushing into the supernatural secret service department to assassinate the chief farming officer. As a result, he walked up and down the streets several times in the afternoon, but he didn't find the need to do it himself.

It seems that someone has already heard the rumor that the new ruler will send people to eliminate those who are dissatisfied and dissatisfied, and Radium Street is deeply involved in the dark world. Oda Sakunosuke only showed his face, and someone quickly recognized it. he--

He is definitely a killer sent by the new ruler!

For a while, the remaining resistance forces were on the verge of panic, and they no longer dared to take the lead easily and incite the street people to create chaos.

But the difficulty of this task is far from worthy of 150 gold coins.

Oda Sakunosuke has been patrolling faithfully until it was almost dark before going back to report to the employer, and intends to tell her that if she asks for a refund, she can only refund half of it at most.

On the way, he received a call from his employer. Just when he thought it was a change in mission, the voice of a strange boy complained loudly on the other end of the phone: "Hello? Is it the military commander Oda Sakunosuke? It's Ranpo Edogawa, the family advisor, who is also a family cadre like you! Let me ask you, when will you come back?

I've been back for hours - so hungry, so hungry!The leader said that you have completed the mission very well, and we will wait for you to come back to have dinner together - you should come back soon! "

Oda Sakunosuke: ...

He calmly hung up the phone.

he doesn't understand...

But that's ok, not a big deal, the employer seems to feel he's done the job and has a good review.

It seems that the entrustment fee does not need to be refunded, but the employer waited for him to eat together, perhaps hoping that he would go back and explain the mission in detail face to face. killed.

But this time he didn't kill anyone. Does the employer really want to hear about his repeated walks on several streets?

Oda Sakunosuke returned to the warehouse where he met his employer before. He thought it was a place specially chosen for a meeting with him, but unexpectedly...

That girl actually lives here.

The closed warehouse door was not locked, and when Oda Sakunosuke pushed it lightly, he saw a warm light overflowing from the inside, pulling him into his arms from the night.

While waiting for him, Misaki Ichinomiya had been reading a book, seeing him back, she put down the book she was reading when she met him before, raised her eyes in the light and nodded to him with a smile: "Welcome back. "

Edogawa Ranpo was lying on her lap in a drowsy mood, but at this moment he jumped up excitedly: "Okay! Finally we can eat!"

Looking at his appearance, those who didn't know thought that their dinner was a delicacy, delicacies from mountains and seas, but in fact, on the table, in front of Misaki Ichinomiya, there were only a few slices of multigrain whole wheat bread toast.In front of Edogawa Ranpo was a large pile of desserts he bought himself.

The two of them obviously shared a little food each and placed it in front of Oda Sakunosuke.

Why spend so much money to hire killers, but eat so shabby?Living in such... dilapidated?

To the point where even the killer is silent after seeing it.

However, Oda Sakunosuke never minded his own business.He sat calmly at the position closest to the door - opposite to Ichinomiya Misaki.

He began to describe the process of the mission.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't listen at all, he was very happy eating, and Misaki Ichinomiya sat opposite him, listening carefully to his flat and calm voice, and from time to time he said "um" "that's it" very cooperatively. "Hey" and other words to respond, make people feel very comfortable.

Although she was in a shabby room, she had an attractive calmness about her.

Although her appearance is not outstanding, she is very attractive. Even though she has scars, her gentle tone, calm demeanor, and bright eyes can make people ignore those scars and feel that she has a different charm.

Her face looked very soft in the warm yellow light.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know what to do in the end, so he couldn't hold back and said, "I didn't kill anyone."

Misaki Ichinomiya said softly, "That's good."

"But I can only kill people." Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment: "For the employment fee this time, I only charge the ten gold coins."

Edogawa Ranbu gave him a dissatisfied look, and was a little angry at his behavior of questioning the leader.

"You have talent." Misaki Ichinomiya said, "It's not just the ability to kill people. I gave you 150 gold coins, not because I want you to kill people."

"You want to buy my life?"

"I just want you to fight for us."

"what does that mean?"

Misaki Ichinomiya pondered for a while, and seemed to be thinking about how to word it: "I plan to hire you for a long time."

Are you going to hire him as an escort?

Although there is no rule that it is not allowed to hire killers as guards, generally no one would do such a thing.

However, the killer knows best how to kill, so maybe he knows how to protect his employer better.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the childish 14-year-old boy lying on the dining table with his eyes squinted and satisfied, and then at the gentle and demure girl beside him, who was powerless, and suddenly pointed at her. The book asked, "The book."

"Ok?"

"Does it look good?"
