"So, is it settled now?"
Kiyohime tilted her head and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously.
The level of the discussion just now was quite intense, after all, there was the presence of the eyeless samurai guard, but the final result seemed to be...successful?
"Well, for the next period of time, we will serve as your bodyguards."
Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up again and saluted Princess Kiyohime.
"Very good!"
Qing Ji suddenly burst into cheers.
"It's so wonderful to have Lord Fujimaru Ritsuka as my bodyguard! What can I do? I'm so happy that I'm about to die..."
As she spoke, she held her forehead with the back of her hand, as if she was about to faint.
"Hey, hey, hey, I can't die!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was shocked.
Their mission was to protect Qing Ji, but before they even started protecting her, Qing Ji herself almost fainted with excitement - what kind of situation was this!
"Hey, hey hey, I'm so happy that I can't help myself..."
With a slightly red face, Kiyohime carefully took two steps closer to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Ah, speaking of which..."
She suddenly seemed to have remembered something and looked at Miyamoto Musashi who was standing behind Fujimaru Ritsuka with sparkling eyes and curiosity.
"Master Samurai, I heard that even though you were a woman, you still defeated the weird leader in the end?"
"Huh? Yes, what's wrong?"
Musashi was not ambiguous. She did put in a lot of effort in Tomoe Gozen's subjugation, and she did make up for the last blow, so admitting it now is not an understatement.
"Ah, I'm not doubting it. I just think...if it's true, it's really worthy of praise and admiration."
Qing Ji said sincerely.
"It's not something worth bragging about. I'm not the only one who really cut the transformation in two."
Musashi shook his head.
"Even if you are a woman, the strong is the strong."
Qingji said firmly.
"Everyone, you are indeed very powerful people."
"However, it is this gentleman who encourages me the most."
She looked at Musashi with a somewhat determined gaze.
"Encouragement? Wait, Your Highness, are you -"
Fujimaru Ritsuka had a guess.
This guess...is probably a bit nerve-wracking?
"Ahem!"
Qing Ji took two steps back, with a somewhat confident expression on her face.
"Don't underestimate me. As a daughter of a samurai family, I was raised by a good samurai and taught well."
"Ah...you mean that time you were making trouble in the castle town?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled some strange memories.
"Ah, well...I am a woman who won't cause trouble to others."
Qing Ji smiled and waved her hand.
"Although she needs everyone's protection, Qing Ji will never cause any trouble to everyone."
"but......"
Finally, she calmed down and looked at Miyamoto Musashi.
"Can you go through two moves with me, Master Swordsman?"
"Huh? But..."
Musashi's face looked hesitant.
Let's not talk about the princess's strength. If a competition cannot bring her any benefit...
She would just act as uninterested as she is now.
"Twenty taels."
Qingji held out two fingers.
"Okay sister, where shall we fight?"
Musashi's face changed instantly.
"If I give you another ten taels, I can let you see my ultimate secret!"
Zuo Cun was somewhat speechless.
"Musashi! Pay attention to your expression! Pay attention to your expression!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka reminded in a low voice, somewhat anxiously.
The face seems a little too real.
Musashi quickly adjusted his expression.
"So - Your Highness, how do you want to fight, alone or alone?"
After thinking about it, she still gave some advice.
"Although I say I will take care of you and be merciful, but--it's really better for you not to fight alone with me."
"Don't worry, the little girl is somewhat self-aware, so——Duan Zang!"
Qingji called out.
call out--
"Lord Kiyohime."
Kato Danzo, who had gone nowhere in the morning, appeared behind Kiyohime in an instant.
"Um?"
"Is it possible..."
Musashi blinked.
"Duanzo, Master Swordsman promised to accompany me in training, can you come over and help me?"
Qingji pulled Danzo forward.
"As commanded."
Duan Zang didn't say anything more, just nodded.
In the city, her control was in the hands of Yagyu Taimamomo, and Yagyu Taimamomo asked her to obey Kiyohime's orders, so naturally she had to be obedient.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka...and Mr. Samura, Mr. Miyamoto...and Mr. Kotaro?"
She still didn't know Kotaro's last name, so she hesitated.
"Thank you for your hard work in conquering the weird things. But now, since Her Highness the Princess wants to practice, then let's accompany Her Highness the Princess to practice."
"Ah? Now?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned.
Because Kato Danzo was ready to fight, his arms were spread out to reveal the ninja tool inside.
"Well, okay! Then let Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka see the flammable water imported from Nanman that the little girl has collected!"
Qingji took out two small bottles from somewhere.
