"If Suehiro had led a group of people with a strong enough will to fight that night, how could they have been defeated by an enemy that was only a fraction of their number?"

"If the fighting strength of our anti-barbarian group continues to be so weak...our 'great cause of repelling the barbarians' is nothing but a fool's dream."

"Yes." Todo nodded, "I agree. I also think it's time for our anti-barbarian group to eliminate the bad and keep the good."

Seeing that Todo agreed with his proposal, Kamino smiled slightly:

"I plan to use one or two months to carry out a thorough reform of our anti-barbarian team to enhance our combat effectiveness."

"When our reforms achieve significant results..."

Kamino's smile slowly faded, and a cold light burst out from his eyes.

"Let's come back to settle the accounts with Ju Qingdeng and plan our 'great cause of repelling the foreigners' properly."

Todo showed an expectant expression.

"Reform? Hahaha, it really makes my blood boil."

"Mr. Kamino, wherever I can be used, just send me!"

He hammered his chest vigorously with his one arm.

Kamino nodded: "You are an important cadre of our anti-barbarian group, and the tasks that will be assigned to you will definitely be numerous."

"Hey, I feel relieved to hear you say that." Todo smiled happily while leaning back and leaning against the wall behind.

At this time, Toudo's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the piece of paper on the desk in front of Kamino that Kamino had been looking at just now.

"By the way - Mr. Kamino, what were you looking at just now?"

Kamino glanced at the piece of paper on the desk.

"...I was looking at Tachibana Aoden's information just now."

"Information about Tachibana Aoden?"

Kamino nodded: "As much as I hate to admit it - we really underestimated that Tachibana Aoden before."

"I thought he was just an ordinary 'Sanchai' Tongxin. But I didn't expect that it was this guy we thought was ordinary who caused us so much trouble."

"In order to better deal with this national traitor in the future, I entrusted a trustworthy and efficient intelligence dealer three days ago to help me obtain detailed information on Tachibana Aoden."

"Hey...do you have the detailed information about Tachibana Aoden..." Todo cast a curious look at the piece of paper, "Mr. Kamino, can I take a look?"

"There's nothing interesting." Kamino raised his hand and handed the piece of paper with Tachibana Aoden's detailed information to Toudou, "There's no high-value information."

Toudo took the paper from Kamino and read it carefully.

"Young name, Jiulang."

"Full name, Minamoto Tachibana Aoto Seiharu... Tsk, it turns out he is a descendant of the Genji family. His bloodline is very noble..."

"The descendants of Genji are nothing special." Kamino said calmly, "The streets are full of descendants of Genji."

"That's true." Todo nodded, "This Tachibana Aoden's full name is quite elegant."

"Minamoto Haru...is really a full name full of Heian period style."

After saying that, Todo continued to look down.

After reading the piece of paper in its entirety, Toudou discovered that it was just like what Kamino said just now. There was no high-value information. It was just information similar to what Ainoto's full name was, where he lived, and how much his family's salary was. Trivial information.

Although Qingdeng's previous life has been recorded in considerable detail, there is no noteworthy information in Qingdeng's past life experiences.

"It's so boring." Todo flipped up the paper in his hand, "There is no interesting information that can be used."

"So I said, there is no high-value information on this piece of paper."

After saying that, Kamino raised his head and looked at the night outside the window next to him.

"...It's almost time." Kamino said as he stood up, "Let's go, Toudo, it's time to return to our base camp."

"Yeah, okay." Todo nodded, then grabbed the knife placed at his side.

After putting on their swords and wearing hats that could hide their faces, Kamino and Todo left the remote hut one after another, heading farther and farther towards a path outside the house.

The two figures gradually sank into the dark night.

…

…

Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi Town, Test Guard Hall, in a room on the second floor——

"What?! Let those three people stay in our house temporarily? No way!!"

Facing the air wave composed of Abi's roar and Kondo sitting in front of her, Okita couldn't help but shrink back.

In the room, Shusuke, Abi, Kondo and Okita were sitting opposite each other.

"Um... Auntie." Okita took the lead and said to Abi, "Our trial bathroom is quite big. It can accommodate a few more residents."

"This is not a question of whether our home can accommodate a few more residents!" Abi glanced at Okita's face, "General Secretary, you don't need me to go into details, you should also know the current situation of our hospital.

How bad is the income, right?”

"Let's add three more freeloaders to our family? No! Absolutely not!"

"besides--"

Having said this, Abi paused for a moment, and then looked at Okita up and down several times with strange eyes.

"...General Secretary, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if you let three grown men live in the trial guard hall?"

"No." Okita raised his hand and played with the slender ponytail on the back of his head, and smiled without thinking, "I won't mind."

Seeing Okita refuting her without hesitation, Abi frowned.

"Uh... Madam." Zhouzhu took a deep breath at this time, as if to embolden himself, "I think... it's okay to let Tachibana-kun and the three of them stay at our house temporarily."

"They are not living with our parents all the time. They are just staying in our house temporarily before they can regain a stable place to live."

"Although our family's current income situation is not great, it is not so bad that we cannot even pay for three meals a day for three more people..."

"Shut up!" A Bi glared at Zhou Zhu.

"Yes..." Zhouzhu looked away silently without saying a word, and shrank his body even smaller...

Kondo and Okita looked calmly at Shusuke, who was instantly "suppressed" by Abi - they were used to seeing this kind of scene.

"In a word - I don't allow the three of them to live in our house!" Abi flicked the sleeves of his kimono vigorously, "Those three people can live wherever they like! In short, they are not allowed to live in our house!"

"...Mother!" Kondo, who had been keeping his head drooped and silent just now, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked at Abi without flinching or fear, "Please listen to my child!"

"Mr. Ju is not an outsider. He is an apprentice of our Trial Guard Hall and a member of our Trial Guard Hall."

"Now, a member of our Imperial Guard Hall is in trouble... As the teacher of the Imperial Guard Hall, I really can't stay out of it!"

"Furthermore, regardless of Tachibana-kun's status as a member of our trial defense hall, Tachibana-kun himself is also a good man worthy of admiration!"

"Mother, you must have heard about it, right? There is a rumor about Mr. Ju's 'defeating powerful enemies on a snowy night'."

"He led a small number of troops and defeated the 'anti-barbarian' thugs who were several times their size."

A hint of excitement slowly appeared on Kondo's face.

"Although I was not lucky enough to witness Mr. Tachibana's heroic act of defeating the strong with the weak, the child couldn't help but be fascinated by even just hearing the few rumors."

"Those 'anti-barbarian' thugs have been doing evil for a long time, and countless innocent people have been harmed by them."

"A few days ago, I saw a shop in Asakusa that had its family destroyed because the thugs of the 'anti-barbarian faction' extorted so-called military expenses."

"Mr. Orange beat these shameful thugs to a pulp, which is a powerful blow to the arrogance of those lunatics."

"Even if it's just out of respect for the hero, I don't want to stand by and watch Tachibana-kun who is currently in trouble and homeless!"

"You obviously have the ability to provide help, but you just sit back and watch... This is so heartless and unjust!"

Kondo's words were impassioned... but they did not move Abi.

On the contrary - it seemed to have angered A Bi.

Abi glanced at Kondo for a few times with a slightly dazed expression, and then his face suddenly became red.

"Hmph! Yong, why do you think I object to those three people coming to our house to eat and drink for free?"

"I'm not worried about our family's money!"

"Yes! Our family is indeed not so poor that we can't even pay for three more people's meals! We can indeed feed three more people!"

"But the money in our family didn't come from the strong wind!"

"It's you, Zhoushu, Souji, and Yuan who worked hard to run the sword hall and earned it bit by bit!"

"You don't care about money! I care about money!"

After saying that, Abi angrily patted the tatami beside him.

Then...due to her unstable mood, she subconsciously muttered:

"Hmph...Farmers are just farmers, it's really disturbing..."

Ah Bi's muttering was not loud.

But it’s not too small…

Her muttering... came to the ears of everyone present quite clearly.
To be continued...
