Chapter 548 Sakurai Kogure and Sakura

The wind blows away the sand and dust, clearing the path underground.

Sakura gradually extinguished her golden eyes.

"Trouble."

Sakurai Kogure smiled.

"Leave the rest of the work to me."

Sakurai Kogure installs a bomb in front of the iron gate. She is like an artist. Even though installing bombs is such a rough job, Sakurai Kogure's hands are so delicate that it is amazing.

Inuyama Ga politely exchanged greetings with Sakura and said no more. As the head of the Inuyama family and the person in charge of this operation, Inuyama Ga has a great responsibility, but he always keeps his identity in mind. After all, he has lived for so many years. , the saying goes that people become better with age, Inuyama Ga knows very well what he can and cannot do.

Sakura is the confidant of the new master Nagamoto, and the relationship between the two is not only that, but there may be a deeper connection. Maybe she will be called the mistress in the future. Inuyama has to consider that he and Sakura The influence of too much conversation is to avoid people guessing that he is purposefully exploring the information of the parents.

Speaking of origin, the prestige of the young child may be higher than he imagined. The significance of a true bloodline of the three inner families to the eight Sheqi families, especially to the elders of the eight Sheqi families such as Inuyama Ga and Fuma Kotaro, is far more important. Non-original students can imagine.

During the reign of Tachibana Masamune, the eight Sheqi families developed steadily and grew together with the rise of the country. Although there was the stain of the expansion of the fierce ghosts, for the sake of Tachibana Masamune's hard work and merits, several family owners also expressed understanding and provided them with Be patient enough and wait for the day when Masamune Tachibana will smoothly hand over power to Minamoto Chiaki.

In fact, the reason why Crow and Yasha were able to successfully defend the flag must have something to do with their bravery, but after all, they are just ordinary mixed-races, and they are not yet S-level and emperors who can use personal force to change the situation. To such an extent, without the indulgence of five of the eight Sheqi families, Crow and Yaksha would have died long ago.

In fact, Yuan Zhisheng ascending the throne of the Eight Sheqi Family is also what most members of the Eight Sheqi Family would like to see.

A few years ago, although he had not yet taken office as head of the family, Minamoto's prestige had actually surpassed that of Tachibana Masamune.

Herzog had plastic surgery, studied Japanese culture, and made a lot of efforts, but in the end, he was still a German. He was not Japanese at heart. Herzog himself knew this, and so did the heads of the eight Sheqi families. .

Therefore, no matter how hard Herzog tries to play Tachibana Masamune and the patriarch of the Eight Sheqi families, he cannot really get the recognition of the real leaders of the Eight Sheqi families represented by Inuyama Ga and others.

The reason is actually very simple.

Herzog does not have royal blood.

Mixed race is a group where blood is supreme, not to mention conservative forces like the Sheqi Eight Family. Two world wars and the great geographical discovery have certainly changed this country, but the changes are not complete.

When a nobleman dies, the black funeral car can stop from the door to the other side of the mountain. Visitors are seated according to their status and surname. If this scene were to replace the car with a sedan, it would really be a reappearance of the Shogunate or Kamakura era a hundred years ago. And it’s hard to believe that it’s the 21st century now.

Compared with the Far East's rebirth after a hundred years of humiliation and a hundred years of turmoil, Japan has indeed taken a step from the ancient times, but it is only one step. The country still has one foot left in the old times.

This situation becomes more serious the higher you go up.

The behavior of many superiors would even make people wonder whether they simply traveled from ancient times.

This is exactly the case for the eight Sheqi families.

Yuan Zhisheng, who has the blood of the emperor and bears the surname Yuan, is born with absolutely orthodox legitimacy.

Compared with him, Tachibana Masamune can only play the role of a housekeeper at most, not even comparable to the ancient shogun. After all, the ministers always love their hidden emperor, and Tachibana Masamune's Tachibana surname is only in the eyes of everyone. The honor he was reluctantly given for the sake of bringing back Minamoto and Eriki Uesugi.

Although Tachibana Masamune has always claimed that Eri Uesugi is his daughter, everyone knows exactly what is going on. Tachibana Masamune's bloodline can only be described as ordinary, and there is no royal blood. Maybe Uesugi Eri is the daughter of Tachibana Masamune and someone Born to a living princess, it is also possible that the patriarch never told the truth. Uesugi Eriki was just a baby girl he brought back from somewhere, just like Minamoto's child.

But no one traced it.

They were just waiting quietly for the day when Yuan Zhisheng came to power.

No one can take the position of the head of the eight Sheqi families. This can only be said to be the tacit understanding between Tachibana Masamune and them.

Of course, except for a certain little monster.

It later proved that the parents’ guess was not wrong. Tachibana Masamune’s bloodline was indeed ordinary. This was normal. Herzog was extremely proud and extremely selfish. He believed that his mind was smarter than any human being, so he His life is also more noble than that of any human being. In Herzog's logic, these two things are taken for granted and are so seamless.

Therefore, Herzog can use other humans, ghosts, and even hybrids as guinea pigs without any psychological barriers, and use their lives to do research, so that he can get results, but the research results of Resafety and Reinsurance, Herzog Zog is not willing to use it on himself.

He is timid, but has great ambitions. Only when the road is perfect can Herzog be willing to move forward.

After Sakurai Kogure installed the bomb, everyone retreated for a distance. Sakurai Kogure detonated the bomb. The air waves blew people to the ground, and pedestrians far above the ground swayed left and right.

Is it another earthquake? The pedestrians fought for a while and found that there were no aftershocks, so they continued on.

In this troubled country, earthquakes are so normal. Even their capital city is located near an active volcano, and this active volcano is still in the active stage. It sounds really exciting, no I wonder what people living in Tokyo would think when they see Pompeii.

In that ancient city that was destroyed by volcanic ash, death came so quickly and unprepared that many people continued their same daily lives, some washing vegetables, some arguing, and some even stealing the sun, but they were always frozen in this moment. , leaving it to people thousands of years from now to buy tickets and watch.

Sakurai Kogure probed to observe, thought for a while, and arranged two more detonations, finally clearing the road directly to the underground rock flow research institute.

The smart module of Kaguya's artificial intelligence, as well as the huge computer matrix that supports her work activities and even thinking, are in the deepest part of the Yanliu Research Institute.

Inuyama Ga took the lead, and was escorted by a group of smartly dressed girls. These were his goddaughters. Some were hot new dancers, and some were sweet national girlfriends. But around the Inuyama family head, they all put on clothes that facilitated movement. , armed with a sharp blade, ready for battle at any time.

Sakurai Kogure and Sakura Dango, these two women with similar positions but very different personalities, their relationship quickly warmed up after their first meeting. They exchanged some secrets about their childhood brothers and became good sisters who talked about almost everything.

It should be said that the power of fate is really wonderful. Sakura is just ignorant and has some guesses, but it is indeed Sakurai Kogure who caused all this deliberately.

Sakurai Kogure is a smart woman. She is very clear about the significance of Minamoto Chisei to her Dragon King. If we use a popular test in the Far East, that is, if Minamoto Chisei and Sakurai Kogure fall into the water at the same time, who will the young girl choose to save? , Sakurai Kogure is very confident, Kazama-sama will not even look at herself, and will save Minamoto no matter what.

After all, that was his beloved brother.

Of course, if it really happens that they fall into the water at the same time, Sakurai Kogure believes that the most likely development is that Mr. Kazama will sit on the bridge and cheer them on while laughing. After all, the heads of the eight Snakeqi families and Meng The idea of ​​ghosts, dragons and horses drowning to death sounds too far-fetched.

Saying that she is not as good as Minamoto Kogure, Sakurai Kogure is actually very smooth and accepts it. She is not a love-minded girl and will play petty and get angry with Kazama-sama. Of course, Sakurai Kogure feels that if she loses her temper with the naughty girl, there will be consequences It was probably because he was simply ignored, after all, that was Lord Kazama.

Sakurai Kogure is very confident that she is not a love brain. Of course she is not. A love brain at least still has requirements and requests for her partner, such as emotional companionship and so on. But Sakurai Kogure has none of that. She is completely a Kazama-sama. , asking for something, does not exist.

Even if it means death, as long as it is for Lord Kazama, Sakurai Kogure will definitely be able to rush to hell with a smile.

It is out of this pure love and loyalty to the Kazama girl that Sakurai Kogure chooses to take the initiative to build a good relationship with Sakura. This person is the shadow of Minamoto's child, and may even become the matron of the Eight Snakes in the future. If I can become a friend of the mistress, I think the Dragon King can also help the Dragon King a lot.

This is Sakurai Kogure's consideration.

This was also the original reason why she chose to get close to Sakura.

But as they gradually got in touch, Sakurai Kogure discovered that Sakura, a girl, was easier to get along with than she thought.

In fact, Sakurai Kogure was surprised and a little unbelievable that she actually felt that she could use words like innocence to describe Sakura.

It stands to reason that this is absolutely impossible. Sakura is the shadow of the patriarch and has a distinguished status. At the same time, the Eight Sheqi families are also Yakuza organizations. Even the nobles in the Yakuza are also Yakuza organizations. Sakura does not know how much darkness she comes into contact with every day. Dirty, after so many years, he can still maintain his innocent heart.

Sakurai Kogure became even more interested in this girl.

She even found that Sakura seemed to really regard her as a friend, Ryoma, a fierce demon.

Friends?

Sakurai Kogure was unfamiliar with this word.

But it sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Sakura even told Sakurai Kogure about her first encounter with Minamoto.

Just because Yuan Zhisheng promised to let Sakura have enough to eat in the future.

The girl left with him.

And for the sake of Yuan Zhisheng, become a good-looking girl.

Because the young master needs such a good-looking girl by his side.

Sakurai Kogure didn't know what to say.

The more she understood, the more the image of Sakura became fuller in her mind.

A little girl of seven or eight years old carried a submachine gun and fought in a hail of bullets.

Just for a piece of bread that is so dry that it burns your throat.

Compared with Sakura, Sakurai Kogure even felt that her past life could be described as happiness.

Up to now, the two of them get along more naturally than at the beginning. Sakurai Kogure has less considerations and slowly tries to accept Sakura with her heart and accept the second person besides Kazama.

This has to be said to be a brand new experience for her.

Sakurai Kogure doesn't have many relatives in this world.

Parents who treat her like a ghost don't count.

Well, by the way, there is a younger brother.

This is the S-class one from Kassel... let's call her maid, her name is Mai Shutoku, she told herself.

Sakurai Kogure raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"You have a younger brother."

Mai Shutoku gave him a photo.

"He is fine now. I can arrange for you to meet in the future."

Sakurai Kogure looked at the dull boy in the photo, and a complicated emotion came to her heart. Is this the so-called family affection?

The memories started again.

Sakurai Kogure forcibly cuts off the memory process.

Sakura who was walking aside cast a concerned look, Sakurai Kogure smiled and nodded.

Really, this is not what a fierce ghost and dragons and horses should do.

Sakurai Kogure thought.

Oh, no, now I am the retainer of the head of the Tachibana family of the eight Sheqi families.

This feeling is really strange. The Dragon King, the second in command among the fierce ghosts, suddenly transformed into the head of three of the eight Sheqi families. Sakurai Kogure found it interesting.

But can't laugh.

It is still during the execution of the mission. The head of the Inuyama family is leading the team. Sakurai Kogure and Sakura are accompanying them as the commissioners assigned by the three inner families. Of course, they also play a certain role as informants.

If the news that he was distracted during the mission was sent back, it would definitely make Mr. Kazama very distressed.

Sakurai Kogure thought secretly.

But her relaxed mood showed no sign of worry.

After all, for Sakurai Kogure, who has lived as a ghost until now, having such a day in the sun is really like a dream, and the beauty is somewhat illusory.

The action team led by Inuyama Ga advanced all the way to the gate of the Yanliu Research Institute.

They are still highly concentrated and no one has relaxed, not even an enemy has been encountered.

"grown ups!"

A girl reported to Inuyama Ga that they found a body with the words "Landflow Research Institute" on the nameplate.

Inuyama congratulates the deceased with his eyes.

"Everyone has an order, let's give him a grand burial."

"yes."

Occasionally corpses are found along the road, and the closer they get to the gate, the more they become. These are the people who fought to the death to defend the Yanliu Research Institute when the gods raided Genji Heavy Industries. They spent their lives practicing their loyalty to the family, so the family will not treat them badly.

Minamoto had already made a decision before Inuyama Ga set off. He told Inuyama Ga to collect the body and provide for the rest.

"In terms of treatment."

Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Just give it three times the standard."

Inuyama lowered his head.

"Please be kind."

Yuan Zhisheng smiled and waved his hand.

Then his smile faded.

"Inuyama-senpai, if anyone can help me, please help me."

"I will dedicate this man's head."

Inuyama replied.

Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

"Go ahead."

Thinking about the advice of the elders, Inuyama He smiled. The elders have changed. They are different from before, but this is good. Inuyama He began to look forward to what the future Sheqi family will do under the leadership of Minamoto. Plant the future.

Inuyama Ga entered the command on the code pad, and the door of the Yanliu Research Institute slowly opened. The cold air hit his face, forming hoarfrost, air convection, and the sound of wind.

They are here to restart Kaguya and convey their wishes for peace to Kassel.

And before that.

Everyone looked at the corpses in the Yanliu Research Institute, and Inuyama Ga took a deep breath.

"salute."

They bowed deeply.
