Chapter 188 Young people should be heroes who save the damsel in distress.
After bowing in thanks, Katsura Kogoro got up and left.
Realizing that no one was around, Mi Niang, whose face had been gentle and whose lips were upturned, suddenly began to change her expression, gradually becoming ferocious.
"Kenshin, go and kill!"
"Only killing is the only way to become stronger. It's a pity that the Shinobi Prosthetic is not here, so all this karma has been wasted."
The thought of her divine artifact caused Mi Niang unbearable heartache.
That damned Taiichi, somehow managed to erase his own consciousness from the Shinobi Prosthetic.
It's virtually impossible to create a second one of these.
Because the materials used in the Shinobi Prosthetic Arm were made from the remains of the native gods who were killed by the Sakura Dragon in the former Immortal Realm.
If Kenshin can obtain this, he will become stronger and grow faster.
"Let's wait a little longer, until Kenshin becomes the strongest warrior completely, then we can reveal the news of the Immortal Village."
“If we told them now that there is an invincible force in the easternmost region of Oku, these rebels would probably immediately back down.”
The chaos in Kyoto and the rapid decline of the shogunate's authority can be partly attributed to the Shinto religion she belonged to.
Because she knew many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, she was very familiar with the official roster of the capital.
The effect of spreading this information to the reformers, and then disseminating the news of their impending execution during missionary work, was profound.
In this era without telephones and computers, information was spread by word of mouth, through letters, or by reading notices.
Word-of-mouth is the most common method, but whether it is true or not, and whether people can believe it, depends on who says it.
If it is spread by Shintoism, then its credibility is undoubtedly the highest, because it is an act instructed by the gods.
After forming an alliance with Tsuchimikado Taian, Mi Niang used Shintoism to spread information and continuously promoted the development and spread of the Meiji Restoration.
On the surface, the purpose of doing this was to create a fair, oppressive, and self-reliant new world, while also building a powerful force to continue eastward after defeating the shogunate, until the destruction of the immortal kingdom.
But the underlying reason...
"Hehe, if you want to become stronger, you must first have an indomitable will, and secondly, the motivation brought by bonds."
"The bonds of friendship and the bonds of love can both propel a person forward."
"Yukishiro Tomoe, this woman is quite good-looking. Where did Doma find her?"
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and when he opened it, there was a sketch of a beautiful woman inside.
Because the country's doors had been forced open by Western powers, and because Western studies had been spreading in the region for a long time, sketching was not a rare art form among the nobility.
To Mi Niang's surprise, Doma, who usually acted like a lazy bum and wished he could just give up every day, actually gave her some advice for the first time ever.
This is amazing!
Regardless of whether the idea is effective or not, she should take Douma's sincerity seriously.
The Eternal Bliss Sect is now quite large, with a large number of followers.
If Doma were to change his attitude and actively engage in management to help her promote the Meiji Restoration, her life would be much easier.
Does love inspire people? That's interesting.
Clutching the paper with a portrait of Yukishiro Tomoe, Mi Niang gradually revealed a smile that seemed gentle but was actually sinister.
......
after a while.
After meeting with Katsura Kogoro and receiving guidance, Kenshin ate the sacred rice and regained his former ruthlessness.
During this period, he carried out missions frantically, constantly assassinating officials and merchants closely associated with the shogunate.
The number of people who have died at his hands has exceeded one hundred.
His strength grew stronger with each killing, to the point that he seemed to lose himself in it.
As usual, after killing one person, he wiped the blood off his blade and then turned and left with a flourish.
The person sent by Katsura Kogoro to keep watch went to examine the body after Kenshin left.
Upon seeing the neat cut, they all revealed a satisfied expression.
The neater the cut, the sharper the samurai's blade!
Inside an izakaya (Japanese pub).
Kenshin sat alone in a corner, with snacks and a pot of sake laid out on the table in front of him.
Wow...
He filled the glass to the brim and then drank it all in one gulp.
“Hiss…ha…”
"Although it's still very strong, why does it always feel so hard to drink?"
Kenshin put down his wine glass and stared blankly at the wall in front of him.
Lately, no matter what kind of alcohol I drink, it always tastes sticky and fishy as soon as it enters my mouth.
like...
The taste of blood.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a light footstep behind him.
"Boss, please bring me a pot of sake."
A crisp sound, a soft timbre.
Kenshin's ears twitched, and he immediately recognized that the guest sitting behind him was a woman.
But he was too busy reminiscing to pay attention to women, and continued to drink by himself, while recalling the days when he practiced martial arts in the mountains.
Just as his memories were deepening, the noise behind him pulled him out of his reverie.
Turning around, they discovered that the woman who had been drinking was being harassed by a group of righteous men who claimed to be from the Aizu Domain and had come to Kyoto to serve the emperor.
"Ha, what loyalists and righteous men? They're nothing but lackeys of the shogunate."
Kenshin snorted disdainfully, thinking to himself with displeasure.
The Aizu Domain, the hometown of Matsudaira Yasutaka, was a staunch supporter of the shogunate.
Rather than saying they came to Kyoto to support the emperor, it would be more accurate to say they were acting on the orders of the shogunate to suppress the Meiji Restoration.
Kenshin had already killed someone today, so he didn't want to deal with these samurai.
But they went further and further, demanding that the woman drink with them.
Kenshin, who had stood up, was momentarily stunned upon seeing the woman's face.
"so beautiful."
As a young boy, when he saw a beautiful woman, especially when she was being bullied, his heart, filled with a sense of justice, beat particularly hard.
He stood up and stepped forward, displaying a resolute gaze and an invisible killing intent, easily scaring away the samurai of the Aizu Domain.
After doing all that, Kenshin glanced at the beautiful woman, then walked away with his head held high without trying to strike up a conversation.
Of course, with his keen senses, he knew that the beautiful woman's gaze was always on him.
She shook her head, sighing that now was not the time for romance; there were more important things waiting for him to do.
And so, Kenshin walked alone on the dark street.
"Hey! You kid, you were pretty arrogant in the tavern!"
"There's no one here now. Let me see if you can still be arrogant when facing the blades of the two of us!"
A rude voice sounded from behind, and Kenshin's usually calm eyes sharpened at that moment.
"Heh, they really don't know what's good for them."
Kenshin lowered his head and spoke coldly with his back to the two of them.
