Mysterious Organization Tivat

My name is Maplebara Manyo, a wandering ronin.

When returning to Daozuma with the Southern Cross fleet of Big Sister Beidou, we encountered a thunderstorm that was rare in a century. The strong thunder element collided with the ice element and exploded. The people on board were thrown into the sea by the explosion. , which also includes me.

The last memory was being wrapped in sea water full of thunder elements, followed by darkness. When I woke up, I found myself being sent to the beach by sea water.

I don't know where this is, but it shouldn't be Daozuma.

The people here speak Daozu's language and wear Daozu's clothes, but there is no General Thunder and Lightning here, and there is no local snake Thomas that you can usually see as soon as you land on the shore.

There was danger in the sound of the wind, mixed with the breath of gunpowder and blood, Wan Ye lowered her eyes, and put her hand on the sword at her waist.

The winds of the city were blowing from all directions, all of which were warning him, and his fighting instinct also told him that this place was not weaker than when Dao's wife issued the eye hunting order.

"I didn't mean anything malicious, I just died at sea and ended up here."

"I don't want to engage in pointless fights."

The wind and rain are precarious, and the road ahead is dark.

Wan Ye retracted his sword, looked at the man in black who fell to the ground, and shook his head.

When he swam ashore from the sea, he happened to see a group of them trading.

You obviously told them that you wouldn't tell them, why didn't you believe it, you must do it?

"You boy! The port mafia won't let you go!"

"Dare to mess with our port mafia, you can't get out of Yokohama!"

The Hong Kong and Black members lying on the ground got up from the ground while uttering harsh words, and ran away in embarrassment.

Yokohama...is that the name of the city?

The unfamiliar place name made Manyo look sideways.

There is no region called Yokohama in Inazuma, and judging by their attire, they don't look like any of the Seven Kingdoms. Could it be that the sea sent him to an island that is not in the Seven Kingdoms?

So what about the companions who fell into the sea like myself?Did they also come here?

With this thought in mind, Wan Ye set foot on a strange land, one knife at a time, and started a new journey.

Getting into trouble at the beginning of a journey might seem bad, but trouble is part of the journey itself.

Therefore, since he has already offended the forces called "Port Mafia", Manyo doesn't mind being a little more thorough.

No matter where the currency is, it is very important. Food, shelter, and news can only be exchanged for currency when there is no favor.

Although it is not known whether Mora is the currency in use here, his purse has been washed away by the sea, and Manyo is penniless now.

"There is an old saying in Liyue, a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way."

Wan Ye didn't know what kind of organization the Port Mafia was, but judging by his aura, the people he defeated were more sinister than the Treasure Thieves, so the money on his body must be ill-gotten gains.

A traveler once said that ill-gotten wealth, like a treasure chest, is an unexpected gain during travel. If you see it, you can take it without asking. Therefore, no treasure robbers should be let go.

This statement can also be used for the port mafia, right?

Packing the windfall into his pockets, Wan Ye came to the most chaotic corner of the city called Yokohama under the guidance of the wind.

For a foreigner like him, he would be safer only if he was in chaos, and he would be given enough time to get familiar with this strange land.

The maple-colored samurai uniform was soaked, and every footprint left by Wan Ye had shallow water marks. He walked along the dilapidated street, and the setting sun was fading on the coastline. pit.

Like ugly scars printed in front of the coastline, poor and dilapidated houses are densely built together, and the messy streets are full of garbage.

Most of the teenagers around here look at Maplebara Manyo with greed and vigilance in their eyes. Strange outsiders, exquisite costumes and gorgeous sabers are incompatible with this place. In their eyes, Manyo is just a fat The fat lamb is very easy to slaughter.

If they hadn't been wary of the seemingly sharp saber, they would have been unable to hold back their greed and rushed straight up.

Maple-red eyes fell on them, and Wanye couldn't see a glimmer of hope in the children's eyes. Even if it was on the front line of the war between the rebel army and the shogunate on Haiji Island, even if people were displaced by the war, they would not let such young children lose hope for the future early on.

Why did the ruler of this city let the land and people's hearts go barren?

Wan Ye sighed.

He is a wandering ronin, a passerby who will not stop, and the good or bad here has no meaning to him.

"Sure enough, I still prefer nature to cities."

But at a glance, there was someone who caught his attention.

He smelled of gunpowder and danger, but his eyes were clean.

The young man with copper-red hair was holding a black box in his hand, standing in an inconspicuous corner, watching Manyo walking towards him, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.

"Hi, may I ask Inazuma how to get there?" Wan Ye smiled politely and asked the young man for directions.

rice wife?

The young man who was asked thought about it carefully, but there was no such name in his memory.

"I don't know the place you mentioned, you can ask other people."

"Is that so...thank you." Wanye sighed in a low voice, without asking any more questions, turned and left after thanking her.

Wan Ye could see that the young man was in a hurry, and there was still a non-dangerous smell of gunpowder. He couldn't delay the young man's footsteps, so he should continue to ask other people.

Leibo Street was very chaotic, but because of this, Manyo heard a lot of news.

For example, this place is called Leibo Street, for example, the teenagers he saw belong to an organization called "Sheep", and for example, this place is not only chaotic, but also disorderly.

Wan Ye stopped in her tracks, a sharp light flashed in her gentle eyes, "People in the dark, don't need to hide."

Wan Ye wandered around, wandering around the world, listening to the wind and watching the clouds was his trump card. He had long noticed that there were more and more footsteps following him, and whispers were also carried to his ears by the wind.

As he finished speaking, on the dilapidated buildings, inconspicuous corners, and jagged walls, youths with youthful faces appeared one after another, holding guns and iron rods in their hands.

"If you are sensible, just hand over your money honestly!" The headed gray-haired boy pointed a gun at Manyo and threatened.

Looking at a face similar to his own age, Wan Ye lowered his eyes and pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

"What if I don't pay?"

"It's up to you to pay or not!"

As soon as the threatening words were spoken, Shirase felt a gust of maple-red wind blowing by, and the next second, only he and Manyo beside him were still standing.

Wan Ye calmly retracted the sword, and flung out his sleeves to look at Shirase who was beside him, "Do you know how Inazuma should go?"

"me……"

It was too fast, he didn't see Manyo's movements at all, it was so fast that Shirase's mind went blank, and his body became stiff due to fear.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me, and China won't let you go..."

The young man who had been arrogant just now fell to his knees powerlessly, uttering weak threats, while the young men who had been knocked down by Manyo only dared to look at him with terrified eyes.

"It looks like I don't know."

Manyo was not disappointed, he said something to himself, and continued to move forward.

It's getting dark, and I hope to find a place to stay before then.

Regular footsteps sounded, Oda Sakunosuke took out the gun from his arms, and looked out the window vigilantly.

The maple-red figure stepped out of the night, and keenly noticed Oda Sakunosuke's gaze.

Two unexpected gazes collided.

The door opened dully, and Manyo looked in surprise at Oda Sakunosuke who had met once.

"Would you like to come in and rest for the night?" Oda Sakunosuke stood in the house, the orange light hit him, and extended an invitation to Manyo.

When I met Manyo during the day, Oda Sakunosuke had just finished a mission, and there was a disassembled sniper rifle in the suitcase. In order to avoid being chased and killed, he went to Raihachi Street, and saw the maverick Manyo as soon as he came.

The slightly immature face is calm beyond his age, the maple-red samurai uniform is incompatible with Leibo Street, and the temperament of the whole body is not at all like someone who can appear here... nor is it like the Yokohama where the fireworks are flying. people.

There is a kind of free and easy elegance and unfettered comfort in him, just like a brilliant fire poem in the maple forest in autumn, and like a free wind by the sea.

Oda Sakunosuke has always been a loner and seldom cares about things other than tasks, but he has a desire to explore a Wanye who has only met him once.

He couldn't resist opening the door to invite Manyo.

"Want to take a break?"

This was a pleasant surprise for Manyo, he thanked him politely and walked into the door.

This is the safe house prepared by Oda Sakunosuke in advance. Although it is simple, it has sufficient supplies.

Oda Sakunosuke found a towel and handed it to Manyo to dry his wet hair.

"Thank you. I am Maplebara Manyo, a samurai wandering around." Manyo smiled, and the white hair fell obediently because of the water, which made the young man's unrestrained and unrestrained look a bit more downcast, "No Thinking of seeing you again."

"I am Oda Sakunosuke." Oda Sakunosuke introduced himself, "Did you ask the way to Inazuma?"

Manyo shook his head, "I asked many people, but no one knew how to get there."

"You don't seem to be from Yokohama." Oda Sakunosuke said casually.

"Yes, I am Daozuma. On the sea from Liyue back to Daozuma, my fleet encountered a thunderstorm and snowstorm. My companion and I fell into the sea. When we woke up, we found that we were washed by the sea to a nearby beach. Come on." Wanye admitted, briefly describing what happened to him.

"So that's how it is." Oda Sakunosuke sighed in his heart.

In a shipwreck, it is lucky to survive.

However, the sea sent him to Yokohama, and I don't know if he was lucky.

After the start of the war, Yokohama was in a state of no control for a long time due to its geographical location and the complexity of its personnel composition, or in other words, it was out of control.

Many people left here, and many people came again, and the sudden explosion on Radium Bowl Street six years ago made this devastated city even worse.

Not to mention outsiders like Maplebara Manyo, even native Yokohama people have a very difficult life.

But Sakunosuke Oda can also see that the young samurai in front of him looks thin, but he is very calm when walking on the chaotic Radium Bowl Street with a gorgeous saber. The calluses on the tiger's mouth also show that those who despise him will Pay a terrible price.

When Oda Sakunosuke met those maple-red eyes, he seemed to be pulled into the autumn forest for a moment, seeing the red maple and endless poetry in the sky.

"Can you write novels?" Oda Sakunosuke suddenly became nervous, "Sorry, I offended you. But... can you write novels?"

14-year-old Oda Sakunosuke read a set of novels with only the first and second volumes.

The novel tells the life of a killer. It is a very wonderful story, but it is a pity that there is no second volume.

Until he met the author of the novel, the author gave him the second volume, but deliberately cut off the last few pages.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know the final outcome of the killer, so the author who wrote the novel said to him, "Then you write it yourself. That is, how people live and die."

"In my opinion, you have the qualifications."

Are you writing a novel?

The 14-year-old Oda Sakunosuke is a professional killer, and he has never failed in the tasks he has handled. But if "writing a novel is equal to writing a person", what qualification does he have to write about the life of others after depriving others of their lives?

But it is undeniable that the idea of ​​that has been lingering in his mind, making Oda Sakunosuke occasionally feel that if he stopped killing people, he might be qualified to write novels.

The first time Oda Sakunosuke saw Fengyuan Manyo, he felt that he was a person who could write many novels.

His eyes, his sword, all carry many stories.

Oda Sakunosuke is convinced that Manyo is qualified to write the lives of others.

The confusion and longing in Oda Sakunosuke's eyes made Fengbara Manyo dumbfounded, and the calm young man suddenly looked like a confused and helpless puppy.

"To your disappointment, I can write poetry, but I haven't tried fiction."

Speaking of novels, Manyo knows that the novels sold by Yaedo are very popular in Quandaozuma, and travelers have also recommended them to him, such as "Reincarnated as a Qiuqiu, as long as you eat sunset fruits, you can always become stronger", and it is said that General Raiden I've also read "I'm in the rivers and lakes, but I just want to write novels well", um... Could it be that the Oda Sakunosuke in front of me is also "I'm in the rivers and lakes, but I just want to write novels well"?

"Do you like novels? One of my companions can write novels. He was on the same boat as me, and may have been washed here by the sea. If I can find him, I can recommend him to you."

The companion that Manyo said was Yukiaki.

This time, Xingqiu was invited by Yaedo to participate in the annual novel competition in Inazuma.

Previously, Daozusuo was not able to participate in the autumn trip to the country, and later because time collided with Liyue's martial arts competition and represented the Guhua faction, so he was unable to participate. This time, I finally had free time. Who would have met a thunderstorm at sea.

Hearing that Manyo could only write poems but not novels, Oda Sakunosuke was a little disappointed, but what Manyo said next made him look forward to it again.

Fengbara Manyo's friends, like him, should also be qualified to write about others.

Oda Sakunosuke told his story to Fengbara Manyo.

"He who takes the life of another is not qualified to write a novel, so I no longer intend to kill."

"But I also know that being qualified to write novels is only the first step. If I can help you find your friend and the way to Dao's wife, can he guide me in writing novels?"

Oda Sakunosuke's execution ability has always been very high, and he does things without hesitation.

After he had the idea of ​​writing a novel, Oda Sakunosuke no longer took on the task of killing people. Although the money was much less, it was enough to maintain his life.

Just like this time, in the past, he would choose to kill the person who caught up to let him escape, but now he will only make the other party incapacitated.

Although he will have to lie down in the hospital for a while, at least he will not deprive others of their lives.

"Let Xingqiu guide you in writing novels..."

Do I still need a qualification to write a novel?He writes poetry whenever he wants to.

And is Xingqiu capable of guiding others?

Wan Ye has never read Xing Qiu's novels, but according to himself, his "Shen Qiu Picking up the Sword Record" is a big seller in Inazuma's Yaedo Hall, and it is very popular.

Maybe it can meet the request of Oda Sakunosuke?

After thinking carefully for a while, Manyo still rejected this exciting proposal.

"Directing should take a long time, but the editors of Yaedo are still waiting for Xingqiu to go to Dazuma to participate in the novel competition, and we won't stay here for too long."

"Besides, I can't make the decision for him."

Although they are all companions of travelers, he and Xingqiu are not very familiar with each other. Xingqiu is often with Chongyun, and he is often with Goro, but this time they happened to be on the Death Omen Star together.

It's really good to get help from the locals, but Manyo can't privately agree to Oda Sakunosuke for Yukiaki.

Fiction contest?Since he was invited to participate in the novel competition, it meant that the Yukiaki that Wanye was talking about must be a very good writer.

Oda Sakunosuke felt that he seemed to have picked up a treasure. In order to get the guidance of an excellent writer, Oda Sakunosuke made the next best thing, "In this case, can I follow you to Inazuma? I will try my best to get Teacher Xingqiu to agree to guide me .”

Because of the war, Nihong's literary world was in a slump. It had been a long time since there were decent writers and works, and... those writers would definitely not be willing to teach him a killer.

"Of course." Wanye readily agreed.

There must be a new experience with one more companion on the way of travel.
