Tatsumi unconscious continues waiting without realized it was already late evening. Feel sorry Hajime finally decided to talk and tell the truth.
"Hey, Tatsumi ..." Hajime call that caught the attention of the village youth.
"What ...?" Said Tatsumi tired of waiting idly for earlier.
"You had been tricked." Said Hajime leading directly to the problem.
"Uh? ... Heee ! ?" cried Tatsumi who could not believe what was said Hajime that he had just tricked and taken all his money without knowing (rather foolishly given by himself.).
"Do not ever trust people too easily. Espesialy in the capital. "said Hajime casually sipping her drink.
"So I was tricked!" Said Tatsumi sure.
"Yes that's ..." Hajime replied with a deadpan expression.
"I will report it!" Tatsumi said hastily took his bag to go to authorities to report.
"It's useless ...the one has been fooled is the wrong." Said Tatsumi Hajime immediate halt in the course and pale when he heard what hajime just said.
Skip the time ...
"Shit ... now all my money has gone." Grumbled Tatsumi who shake his money purse who now empty. Gratitude to Hajime who help him with paying so that could shut and he did not have to deal with the authorities but still ..
"Are you okay?" ask Hajime.
"LIKE HELL! It's all because that Oppai ... I mean that bitch ! "Growled Tatsumi annoyed " is what she's talking about a valuable lesson ! "grumbled annoyed Tatsumi who is still cannot accept that he just get fooled by that woman.
"It's your own fault ..." muttered Hajime who also check little left money he have.
"And again, if you already know the girl cheat me. Why do not remind me at all !? "snapped Tatsumi who feel annoyed with his companion who was not reminded him of this at all.
"Impossible, with such a high level of optimism. I'm sure you would not hear anything I say. "Answer Hajime logical and reasonable.
"... There is no pesky village people who lie like that ..." Tatsumi muttered darkly as he bowed at one corner of the bridge crossing.
"Welcome to the life of the capital." Said Hajime flatly that somehow thats makes Tatsumi upset.
"Yes please, tonight I will be sleeping outside." Tatsumi muttered as he lay down wall bridge.
"Hey someone came." Said Hajime pointing towards the red horse carriage stopped in front of them.
"It again, princess?" Said the guard.
"What can i do? It's been my nature. "Said daughter in the horse-drawn carriage.
Shortly down and approached the princess and Tatsumi Hajime with 2 guards in tow.
"If you do not have a place to sleep, will you stay in my house?" Asked the princess with friendly and sweet smile in response to a face Tatsumi pessimistic because've been fooled once.
"I do not have any money ..." Tatsumi said flatly try to imitating Hajime.
"You can not sleep here even want, right?" Asked the princess.
"Miss aria can not let people like you." Added guard 1
"You have to accept the goodness of his heart." Added guard 2
"How?" Said Miss aria once again that ultimately received by Tatsumi.
Skip time with Tatsumi ...
After receiving help from Miss aria, Tatsumi told them (family miss aria) about himself and his friends. And ends with good acceptance by family miss aria father who decided to help him join the army and look for the other two.
At room Tatsumi ...
'In the end I was saved by the good people. Now its just sayo and Ieyasu ... 'murmured Tatsumi, looking outward through his bedroom window. 'I hope they both survived until the capital.' Tatsumi prayer to the dark of night.
Meanwhile, in room Hajime ...
'There is something wrong with this family ...' Hajime muttered to himself, who had been feeling unwell since stepped foot in this house. Like there is something hiding in behind all the friendly kind nature of this family.
"..." Hajime was silent, looking out the window of his room before finaly opened and jumped out to heading upstairs. And incidentally the room above is the middle of the empty room of miss aria father and mother that makes him easier to find something that hiding here.
After a long search. Hajime finally found something that probably will answer his curiosity.
"Diary?" Hajime muttered softly. From his appearance it is like a diary and from the existing name on the cover can be deduced it is the personal diary of miss aria mother.
Intrigued by what is written in it Hajime open and read the book. and sure enough, the book contains something beyond his expectation. The book contains a record of torture that the lady did to the village people they abducted and hold.
'This ...' muttered Hajime with a serious expression while flipping through the diary sheet with disbelief.
Crick ... crick ...
The sound of the key in the middle of the room door open from the outside sounds ...
And when open ...
Kreekk ...
"Ng? I thought that I heard the sound of someone? "Asked the great master who found the empty space as usual.
Tomorrow night ...
"Now I need to write it into my diary. I can not stop this hobby. "Said the lady of the house by himself, carrying brown hardback book in hand while scour the darkened hallway. Without realizing the existence of another person behind her who directly cut her body into two.
"he ..." was all she could out of the mouth when the hostess realized that she had been cut in two. And behind her appeared a glasess girl with purple haired wearing chinese clothes and hold a bloodied giant scissors in hands which she was using to cut the hostess was.
"I'm sorry." Said the girl in politely bowing front of the hostess corpse.
By Tatsumi ...
"Ha?" Tatsumi awakened sense the killer instinct when around the house. "What's going on? "Murmured the actual Tatsumi asked what was happening to himself. "Murder?" Muttered Tatsumi were convinced that it was not a mere imagination.
Others are concerned with Tatsumi rushes out of the room complete with gloves and sword ..
Continue to doubt in his heart that it was true. That night raid that he had just heard from Miss aria guard this morning actually attack them ...
His thoughts were interrupted when he found a group of people (5 to be exact) was standing on a thin steel rope in the front yard.
"It ..." muttered shaking Tatsumi that concern became a reality. "Night raid ..."
Meanwhile, with Hajime ...
"Answer me, where you hide the migrants who this family kidnap !?" insisted Hajime as he ask a guard that he was kidnapped to succeed in the interrogation. guard was visibly shaking when Hajime simply gripping his neck and lifted it.
"Answer now ..." said Hajime with threatening and serious tone.
Back to Tatsumi ...
"Night raid ..." Tatsumi muttered, staring warily towards the outside of the 5 people. and from the bottom tatsumi can see 3 guardian out to stop night raid that ended only with the fast death of 3 of them in the hands a dark-haired girl with red eyed and man in a white armor who is down to take care of them.
"Completely destroyed in an instant ..." muttered Tatsumi who could not believe what was he just seen. all guards defeated in an instant. 'At least I have to protect the aria lady!' said Tatsumi full of inner steady to find and protect the young lady who helped him and hajime.
With a father of lady aria ...
"Please ... I have a daughter ..." aria father asked compassion in the midst of difficulty breathing because he was choke and lifted by a girl with a yellow-haired woman hands like animal ears and a cat.
" dont worry. You will soon be with her. "Said the woman with a calm tone.
"Even my daughter? ... What dont you have mercy?" Asked the great master disbelief that his daughter will also seek raid by night as well ..
"mercy? What is it?" Asked the girl with chill tone before ending the life overlords.
By Hajime ...
'Murder ?' Hajime murmured when he found the bodies of the hostess who was killed while walking in the middle of the corridor. 'It looks like something is going on in this house ...' Hajime muttered as he felt the aura of a killer from various places in the house. And from their movement, hajime can be sure that they are professional killers.
"I should be looking for him." Muttered Hajime searching for Tatsumi before something that not right happen to him.
In a warehouse where Hajime holding guards ...
"Looks like we're late ..." said the big man with white armor.
"look like someone here do this before us ..." said the bespectacled girl who had been killed a great lady casually. Yes when they got there they found only four lifeless corpses of the guards. And whatever killed them is not an amateur, in view of the incision and the wound in the body of the guards.
