Zuo Cun, Musashi and others killed the metamorphosis wandering nearby, buying precious time for the evacuated people. Even Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then——Xiaoyu will just say goodbye, right?"
Saying that, this fox girl wanted to run away.
"Hey, don't leave."
Zuocun grabbed Xiaoyu's ears.
"As I said, we need your help with something."
"Really - what are you doing! Now is the time to say whether to help or not! I also want to survive!"
Xiaoyu broke free from Zuocun's clutches, stared at the group of people with a straight face, and then... sighed and looked east.
"Half an hour has passed since the blood started to fall from the sky. Everyone who is alive should run out, and the remaining people are basically dead."
"No one knows how many people died in the past half hour."
"Anyway, thanks to that guy named Yagyu and you guys, this part of us can finally escape."
At least regarding this matter, Xiaoyu was very happy.
"I remember your residence was near here, right? Why didn't you run away?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked this question with some confusion.
"Well, well...after all, there are a lot of old, weak, women and children around here, so I subconsciously stayed to help, and then I stayed later."
"As expected of Miss Xiaoyu!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka grabbed Xiaoyu's hand and shook it.
"Hmm, um... helping each other is not a basic attempt, not to mention that in the current situation, one person can't do anything alone, right?"
Xiaoyu blushed when Fujimaru Ritsuka held her hand and praised her. Then she suddenly realized something and quickly let go of Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.
"Ah, by the way, everyone, before you ask your questions, please allow me to ask you a question first."
"Have you ever met the princess named Qing Ji?"
"Qing Ji? What happened to her?"
Musashi looked confused.
"I just heard some maids screaming. I don't know exactly what happened. In short, the group of maids also escaped in the end and were among the crowd just now."
"That's pretty much it... Anyway, I'm going to run away in that direction, that's it."
"Well, this eldest sister, we just have something to ask you."
Muramasa walked over with a smile, and his smile was generally reassuring.
"Hey? Isn't this the erect male from that time?"
Xiaoyu was deeply impressed by this guy whom she had met once before. He was obviously very strong and young, but he spoke and acted like an old man.
"These children may have caused you some trouble before. I'm sorry, but now... I may have to ask you for help again."
Muramasa had a serious expression on his face, looking at Xiaoyu seriously and decisively.
The two children were led over by Muramasa, and they saw Xiaoyu, who they had not seen for a while, and they looked very excited.
"Oh! They are the two children from that time! They are named Azai and Tiansuke, right? They are so cute!"
Xiaoyu is also happy to see these two children again...if the time is not now/
"There should be no safe place in this world. Your strength seems to be quite strong. In this case, I can safely leave my two children to your care."
"This is the second time... please do, please."
"Why!?"
Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly widened.
Wait wait, this means——
but--
Look at the eyes of these people...
Everyone seems to have some kind of determination in their eyes.
In addition, they all seemed to have weapons in their hands.
Suddenly, a somewhat absurd idea appeared in Xiaoyu's mind.
"Wait, you guys, could it be——"
"We're going to settle an account."
Muramasa said unceremoniously.
"The shady and the fool should be at that place now, right? Now that we know where the enemy is, we should knock on the door."
Most of the time, Muramasa behaves very upright - this is also a very grandfatherly behavior.
"As you can see, the situation we are going to fight in is not considered safe. It would be irresponsible to bring two children to that place, so I can only leave it to you."
"A good woman must be reliable, right?"
As he said this, Muramasa smiled.
But this time, Xiaoyu was not happy at all for others' praise. Instead, her face became serious.
"Answer me first - are you kidding me?"
"Do you really want to go to that city?"
Even Xiaoyu felt that this kind of thing was... so stupid.
"That's it! Anyway, let's go first!"
"...Ah Xiu, see you later. During this time, please listen carefully to Miss Xiaoyu."
Leaning down, Musashi smiled and instructed the two children.
"Well! Ah Xiu will definitely listen to Miss Xiaoyu!"
Xiaoyu pursed her lips seriously, but still took Ah Xiu's hand.
"You...really plan to go to the other side of the city."
After speaking, she was silent for two seconds.
Suddenly - she bowed to several people.
"Then, I wish you all good luck in martial arts. Doctor Xiaoyu will definitely take good care of the two children. You... please do as you please."
"I hope you can come back."
...
"Let's fight it as quickly as possible. After all, we can't always ask Miss Xiaoyu to take care of Ah Xiu and the others."
Fujimaru Ritsuka tightened his sleeves and said seriously.
"Speaking of which, I feel like Grandpa Muramasa is quite fond of Miss Xiaodama. Could it be that this is the type that Grandpa likes?"
Musashi approached Muramasa with great interest and asked.
"Women with faith are all handsome. I just think so. Little girl, it's too early for you to talk about this."
Muramasa didn't look good on Musashi.
"Do you mean to say that I am a woman without faith...?"
Musashi looked very hurt.
"That's not true."
Muramasa shook his head.
"The feeling you give me is very special. How should I put it? It doesn't mean that I have no faith. If I have to say it...it's just a feeling."
"That guy over there gives the impression of an eagle with blunt claws. In your words... he looks like a big flower?"
"If the woman named Xiaoyu is a very reasonable flower, then you are a flower without a stem or a root system."
"That's how it looks like there's just one big flower placed there."
All in all, Muramasa's description is a bit abstract...
