Female Swordsman Training Dojo

This was obviously meant to scare him; Inoue Shibaya would never kill someone who wasn't resisting in the street.

If you're going to kill someone, at least find a secluded place.

However, it's not worth getting your hands dirty for such trash, and this guy doesn't deserve to die so quickly.

According to the intelligence gathered by the cat, in just a few years, this scoundrel amassed nearly 10,000 yen through loan sharking. During this time, he forced several families to sell themselves or even take on dangerous jobs such as working in mines in order to repay the loans, ultimately leading to the ruin of their families and their deaths.

Letting this guy die easily is practically a blessing.

"take away!"

The two disciples behind Inoue Shibaya took out handcuffs and ropes, twisted the hands of the three ninja turtles behind their backs, and tied their feet.

Inoue Shibaya sheathed her katana, skillfully flicked off the blood from the blade, and smoothly returned it to its original sheath.

With his life no longer in immediate danger, San Shinobi Turtle's intelligence once again took over his mind. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Why are you arresting me! I haven't committed any crime! I'm a kind person who would lend money to others to tide me over! My family has been in Tokyo for generations, and all the neighbors know that!"

Inoue Shizuya frowned impatiently. She didn't have time to listen to this idiotic nonsense. She needed to hurry up and clear up more requests to accumulate more merit points so she could exchange them for more intimate time with her teacher.

There was no other way; there were too many wolves and not enough meat. Harunobu couldn't possibly throw lavish parties every day, so Hirayukiko, based on the core principle of Aozorakan—"beautiful women are only meant for the strong"—established a basic reward and punishment system.

Simply put, whoever makes the most contributions gets to stay with Qingxin for a longer period. If someone has the ability to defeat these personal disciples, then they can take their place.

Of course, the above refers to Harunobu's extra time, not that those with the lowest strength will never see this sinful man again.

Therefore, this mechanism was implemented smoothly. However, Harunobu always felt that something was wrong. He had the feeling that he was being used as a tool and turned into a public bus.

If the genders were reversed, wouldn't it be a classic case of a female dojo instructor providing physical comfort?

I forgot the beginning, I was shivering and cold, and I forgot the end.

Anyway, he's a man.

So that's fine.

"Shut his mouth."

Inoue Shibaya spoke impatiently, and a disciple picked up a handkerchief that someone had dropped from the ground with two fingers. It was covered with footprints and stains of an unknown liquid, and slowly brought it closer to the mouth of the Three-Hit Ninja Turtle.

The Third Ninja Turtle certainly didn't want to be gagged by this thing, and he knew that once he was taken away, he was finished. If what he had done went to court, it would probably be enough to put him in jail for more than ten years.

So he steeled himself and shouted, "Let me go! This is illegal imprisonment! You think you can take my property like this? I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"

Inoue Shibaya began to reflect on her previous actions. She had actually allowed this bastard to have the energy to speak; she was clearly still immature. If Shihan Dai were here, this guy's tongue… no, this guy wouldn't even have a chance to see her clearly.

Just as Inoue Shibaya drew her sword, a strong, mature female voice came from the side: "Mr. Sanshita, when did you acquire property in Asakusa?"

The voice wasn't loud, but its unique tone attracted a lot of attention. When the crowd's gaze fell on it, almost everyone took a step back in unison, and many even hurriedly ran away, more exaggerated than when they faced the swordsmen with swords like Inoue Shibaya.

The newcomer was tall, nearly 1.8 meters, and especially with her pair of menacing dragon horns, her height seemed exaggerated. Her long, silver-white hair cascaded down her impeccably tailored black suit, further emphasizing her cold and assertive nature. Although her eyes were human-shaped, their eerie, blood-red color made her appear even more mysterious and terrifying.

A cold, mysterious, and inhuman woman.

The crowd didn't even dare to look at the woman's face, for fear of being tainted by some filth.

Because people with this kind of appearance have a unified name—half-demon! Even ordinary people who avoid Eta like the plague are naturally even more terrified of these freaks who are certain to have demon blood.

But behind the woman stood several people, both men and women, all of whom were staring intently at the three-legged ninja turtle whose finger had been chopped off by Inoue Shibaya.

Furthermore, this half-demon even has the logo of the Azure Sky Business Alliance on him! That's a business group under the Azure Sky Pavilion, which recently launched many novel Dragon Slayer brand costumes, which are selling incredibly well! It's clearly already the business leader of Asakusa Ward!

How could there be a half-demon in such a large company? And he even seems to be in a high position! This strange phenomenon, coupled with the presence of the Bracer right in front of them, made many curious people stay.

"Sister Saintess?"

Inoue Shibaya sheathed her sword and waved enthusiastically to the dragon girl, "What brings you here?"

"As for the alliance's affairs, this guy's misdeeds don't just involve lending money; he also exploits legal loopholes to defraud people of real estate, and he's even swindling his own relatives."

Seiko Tachibana leisurely walked up to Shibako Inoue. She was now nominally Nako Tachibana's cousin and had been introduced by Nako Tachibana to succeed her as "Representative Director of the Blue Sky Business Alliance".

—Then, unsurprisingly, she was conquered by the lecherous teacher.

This is the opinion of most people at Aozorakan; only the direct disciples know the secrets of the Tachibana family.

As for why Tachibana Seiko looked like this, that was undoubtedly the work of the mysterious priestess. In her words, to fully utilize the effects of Vortigern's corpse, this form was the best option. Since Tachibana Seiko herself liked this appearance, Harunobu agreed.

It's definitely not because he thinks the white-haired, red-eyed dragon girl is lewd, nor is it because the white-haired, red-eyed dragon girl can switch freely between cold and powerful, gentle and virtuous, and innocent and lively, and even merge and summon to appear!

Anyway, if the daughter of the Imperial Family can raise a fox spirit, why can't Ping Qingxin raise a half-demon?

Brother's tired of slaying dragons, what's wrong with taking a break?

Moreover, when Tachibana Seiko took over as president of the Azure Sky Business Alliance with this appearance, not a single person dared to object. Besides their fear of Harunobu, her terrifying appearance also contributed significantly to the decision.

Ultimately, a female club president, no matter how strong, intelligent, or capable she is, is not as intimidating as a monster club president with ferocious dragon horns, blood-red eyes, and a look that suggests she devours three hundred children a day.

Anyway, ever since Tachibana Seiko took over, the "allies" who were originally eager to enjoy themselves because Harunobu had won the nickname of Dragon Slayer Swordsman and been promoted to head of the Special Higher Police Honor Section have suddenly become obedient.

This saved Harunobu a lot of trouble, since he still had to manage the affairs of four districts: Shimotani, Fukagawa, Honjo, and Asakusa. Especially in the early stages, it was really troublesome.

But that's all for later; right now, we need to deal with the Three Ninja Turtles.

Tachibana Seiko stretched out her hand, and a woman dressed similarly to her, but completely overshadowed by her aura, immediately handed her the prepared documents.

“I remember you went to junior high school, so you should be able to read, right?” Tachibana Seiko held the document upright. “Even if you can’t read, you probably wouldn’t forget this contract, would you?”

The three-legged ninja turtle's body trembled, as if someone had inserted a running internal combustion engine into its body.

"Why are you so quiet now? Weren't you being very loud just now?" Tachibana Seiko shook her head. "I thought you were so tough, but it turns out this is all you can do... I'll leave the rest to you."

Chapter 231

Hey everyone, have fun! But please remember, if he dies, the property transfer will become very complicated, so be careful. Also, don't forget the conditions we agreed on earlier.

Seiko Tachibana paused, her gaze sweeping over the Sanxia family members who had become fanatical due to the imminent threat of revenge. Her cold, rational gaze immediately calmed them down considerably.

"Please remember, what I just said was not advice."

"Yes, President!"

The Sanshin family bowed respectfully to Tachibana Seiko at a ninety-degree angle, then walked over to Sanshin Ninja Turtle, dragged him along, and happily returned to the nearby Sanshin family home, slamming the door shut. The excellent soundproofing effectively blocked out the sounds of the joyous party inside, ensuring that no one else would be disturbed.

Tachibana Seiko nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at Tachibana Seiko, Inoue Shibaya couldn't help but sigh. They looked so similar, yet their personalities and ways of doing things were completely different; they were practically two opposites.

Seiko Tachibana could probably guess what Shibaya Inoue was thinking; the young female college student was still too naive.

However, she was quite satisfied with it.

Although she is essentially one with Tachibana Nako and Tachibana Yuzu, and doesn't actually want to be completely separated, she does possess an independent consciousness and wishes to maintain it. It sounds contradictory, but it's simply a desire to simultaneously experience empathy and the convenience of being able to possess each other, while also wanting to maintain three distinct states of mind.

Rather than becoming completely ordinary people, or reverting to the yokai "Night Walkers," this current state better suits the needs of the Tachibana family. It should also better suit Harunobu's needs.

Tachibana Seiko smiled slightly and murmured softly, "After all, if we were to completely separate, not to mention the mature me, the still young me wouldn't even be able to enjoy the pleasure of the mind."

Seiko Tachibana, 18 years old, is a girl.

Author's Note: A 4,500-word chapter! Just in case I forget, I'd like to ask for all kinds of votes first. I was obsessed with the Ring of Law, and this chapter exceeded my planned 2,000 words, so I didn't finish until 1:30 AM. I'm out of drafts, and forcing a break wouldn't be good. Sigh, tomorrow will be another day of exhaustion—but my two little tunes won't lose!

Chapter 210: The Unity Society

On the large and luxurious round table, four long candles were lit one after another, illuminating the figure sitting behind the table.

The alluring and languid red fox held a pipe, gently exhaling pale white smoke, her seductive eyes sweeping left and right before she bit the mouthpiece again.

Slightly later than her took her seat was an obese old man with a thinning head, a bloated belly, and flabby muscles. Even though he was dressed in expensive ocean-going clothes and his fingers were adorned with gold rings inlaid with various gemstones, he was hardly someone to be admired, let alone mistake him for a great monster who could travel between the underworld and the mortal world.

But this nouveau riche fat old man named Lun Liudao is indeed an indispensable "logistics master" of the Tongxin Society.

His true form is a youkai called "Wannyūdō," and he possesses the innate magical ability to travel between the underworld and the human world. Yakumo Kurenai doesn't know the specifics, as such matters are naturally not publicized by those directly involved. However, he did indeed once accomplish the feat of carrying hundreds of youkai along with thousands of kilograms of gold from a thousand miles away.

In short, he's a troublesome old man.

Yakumo Kurenai looked to the other side, where sat someone who had arrived even earlier than her—an old man. However, his style was completely different from Rin Rokudo's; he was shirtless, his strong muscles bulging, exuding power. His pale hair and beard were a messy, disheveled mess, studded with iron filings and coal dust.

Tenmoku Ren, whose true form is "Tenmoku Ichiren," is a yokai who is skilled and passionate about forging swords, and is also extremely adept at wielding them. Within the Tongxin Guild, he serves as the "Weapon Master," forging demon swords that not only enhance combat power but also generate substantial profits. Thanks to his unparalleled sword-forging skills, he holds a very high position within the guild, especially among members who prefer melee weapons, who hold him in high esteem.

However, this guy isn't troublesome, because he basically doesn't care about anything other than swords and knives.

At last.

Yakumo Kurenai looked at the man directly opposite her.

The loose-fitting samurai uniform, resembling a Saiyan's battle suit, clung tightly to his body, highlighting his sleek and athletic physique. His dark green vertical pupils gleamed in the candlelight, radiating a tense and oppressive aura. His chiseled, resolute, and handsome face should have exuded solemnity and grandeur, but a lingering hint of effeminacy, like the bright red tongue of a venomous snake, would occasionally peek out, making his face appear dark and terrifying.

This is the leader of the Tongxin Society, whose true form is the Yamata no Orochi.

Meeting Yakumo Kurenai's gaze, Orochi calmly said, "Everyone's here. Yakumo, begin your report."

Yakumo Hong pulled the pipe away and tapped the end containing the tobacco on the round table. The tapping sound was rhythmic and permeated the thick gray-white smoke.

"The details are all written in the report, so I'll just talk about the results of the plan and the more important parts."

Lun Liudao rubbed his sparse head, his eyes flickering as if he wanted to say something, but the giant snake had already hummed in agreement: "Time is limited, hurry up."

Yakumo Kurenai nodded and straightened her posture a bit: "Overall, the plan was a success. The manufacturing process and control of the cyborgs were tested, and we also successfully used the local cannon fodder to pull out the idiots in Shiranui. Especially that idiot Ran, his strength and personality are still the same as before."

After adding a little personal comment, Yakumo Kurenai changed the subject: "However, although the main objective of the cyborg project was achieved, the cannon fodder was completely wiped out due to the interference of the local samurai. The Western dragon, whom we could have tried to win over, also became a corpse. Its rampage before its death even made Tokyo's security much tighter, which will probably affect the subsequent plans."

"It's not just probably, it's definitely going to be affected, right?" Rin Rokudo said with a forced smile. This time, Orochi didn't interrupt him. "And have you forgotten our ally? That's the Prime Minister of the Empire! Because of your foolish command, he died at the hands of a third-rate samurai! Do you know how much of a loss that is!"

Yakumo Kurenai took a puff of her pipe. The old man's attack was within her expectations, so she calmly looked at Rin Rokudo: "First of all, he's not some third-rate samurai, but a dragon slayer who can take down Vortigern. You'd better run away as soon as you see him. Anyway, that's all you know and are good at, isn't it?"

"Then, Katsura Taro is already the former Prime Minister of the Empire. Don't you think the constitutionalists would allow him to come back to power? Not to mention the constitutionalists, even the clan factions wouldn't want to see an Army Minister become Prime Minister again. Didn't you notice that the application to build more divisions for the army was rejected—even when Katsura Taro was still in office?"

Yakumo Kurenai's calm yet swift rebuttal caused Rin Rokudo to furrow his brows. His already ugly face contorted into a grimace, resembling a contorted defense, both disgusting and unsightly. He completely lacked the angry and dignified demeanor of a normal Rinyūdō. Although a normal Rinyūdō wouldn't be as greedy and short-sighted as him.

However, Yakumo Kurenai would not underestimate him. It is true that he is greedy and short-sighted, but the fact that he can still become a cadre of the Tongxin Society and live a good life shows that he is indeed capable.

So Yakumo Kurenai pressed her advantage, saying, "In the end, isn't giving the samurai a role model and a goal to strive for part of the plan? Or are you so unwilling to part with the little money Katsura Taro gave you that you'd rather ruin the plan?"

Feeling the gaze from the giant snake, Rin-yūdō could not possibly agree with Yakumo Kurenai's words and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Then there's no need to give that samurai the reputation of slaying dragons again, or give him the opportunity to become close friends with the ninjas of Shiranui!"

Against their old rival, Shiranui, with one heart

Chapter 232

They certainly knew about it; they were well aware of the power these ninjas serving the royal family possessed, as well as their xenophobia and stubbornness. Even if an ordinary person could fight alongside one of their members, it didn't guarantee their trust. But if someone had the merit of killing Katsura Taro, that was a different story.

"You're completely aiding the enemy! Those ninjas are already troublesome enough, and now you've let them establish a trust relationship with a samurai who can kill the Western Demon Dragon. This is far too dangerous for our later plans!"

Rin Rokudo spoke as if he were worried, his attention entirely on Orochi and Yakumo Kurenai, completely unaware that Tenmoku Ren opposite him was casting a strange look at him.

But there's no need to go see him anymore. Yakumo Kurenai already revealed a cunning smile, as if she had planned everything perfectly: "So, I recorded the video of that guy killing Katsura Taro."

"This……"

Lun Liudao initially wanted to say what use this was, but he wasn't really stupid to the extreme; he was just a bit too greedy, and he could still figure things out.

This video is one of Hiraharu Nobu's fatal weaknesses.

Regardless of how the official definition of Katsura Taro's crimes is, as the Minister of the Army, even if he were to be executed, he should have been subjected to a military court and given a public and just punishment, not killed in the street like a dog by a samurai, without even a complete corpse left behind.

Once this matter is exposed, the supporters left behind by Katsura Taro, as well as the radical officers who are trying to inherit his political legacy, will swarm in and do everything they can to kill Taira no Harunobu.

That's the ridiculous thing about humans: when the weak gather together, they can actually beat and kill the strong.

Considering Taira no Harunobu's current status, strength, and relationship with Shiranui, Katsura Taro's death has transformed from a stain on Yakumo Kurenai's reputation into a bargaining chip in her hands.

Lun Liudao shut his mouth.

The giant snake slowly spoke: "Alright, let's get down to business."

Yakumo Kurenai put down her pipe, Tenmoku Ren sheathed the demon sword he was halfway through repairing, and Rin Rokudo forced a fawning smile as he intently watched Orochi.

"Katsura Taro is dead. Shiranui has most likely discovered what he did to Yoshihito. We can't expect things to continue like this."

"Therefore, the next task will be slightly different—we need to kill Yoshihito, who is Emperor Taisho."

Does anyone have any comments?
