Location: East Market Street

Goziqi was sitting on a bench on the street, drinking coffee leisurely, watching the pedestrians on the street, thinking

"The people who ambushed us that night should be the mercenary Tengu Party... How ridiculous, if the rebels want to kill us, they should at least send out Oberg and the like. It seems that the rebels are also very short of funds."It's no wonder that Goziqi would think so. After all, the Tengu Party is not even as good as the combat power measurement unit, the Four Rakshasa Ghosts of the Royal Fist Temple, so how could they possibly defeat the elite assassination corps of the empire?

"What I care about is that there was no one on the last boat. Did they flee in a hurry after discovering our strength? Although I also asked Akame to wait in the water, it was inevitable that some fish slipped through the net."

"Today is already the fourth day, the other party should have taken action... Hmm?"Gozzi suddenly noticed that there was a young man in ragged clothes walking on the street. As a former member of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts, Gozzi knew at a glance that this man was a spy of the rebels.

After determining the target, Gozzi followed the other party all the way to a small hotel. After observing the room where the other party was, Gozzi went directly through the window and controlled the man at the same time. The man was shocked after being controlled by Gozzi. He did not expect that he would be discovered by the enemy. However, this man was also quite decisive. He directly ate the poison that had been hidden in his mouth and died on the spot.

"Damn it! He actually committed suicide!"Gozzi looked at the body in front of him and was a little angry, but he quickly calmed down. He began to search the man's belongings and found three photos in the bag.

"Oh, oh, oh! This is a great harvest! It's a blessing that we didn't let those little devils into the town just in case."Looking at the photos of Nahaxiu, Green and Chu Yufan, Goziqi murmured.

The next day, Goziqi brought everyone except Chu Yufan and the other two to a hotel famous for its cuisine.

"It seems a bit pitiful to leave the captain and his men in the mountains." Cornelia said with a smile

"There is no way, the appearance of the three of them has been exposed. Anyway, it is time to rest, so it is a good opportunity to think about the next countermeasures."Goziqi explained

""Akagome, what's wrong with you?" Tsukushi noticed that Akagome was looking in a certain direction and asked in confusion.

"It is the same here... No matter where you are... If you look carefully, you will always find many people in need, and those who are hungry and thin. That kind of life must be very hard."Akagi said as he looked at a group of people wearing tattered clothes and who were skinny.

"Really, it's completely different from the village next to our hometown." Tsukushi was also surprised.

"This is the so-called gap between the rich and the poor. In fact, you were sold by your parents. Even so, everyone still lives with spirit every day. If a war breaks out, their efforts will be in vain."

"As long as we can keep the peace, the rest will be left to the politicians to figure out." Goziqi explained

"You're right! We have to work hard too!"Tsukushi clenched his fist and said firmly.

Goziqi nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept across the faces of the others, and stayed on Akame's face for a while, then said

"We are here. This is the hotel."

"Let's stay at this hotel, Taeko."

""Yeah."

Before Goziqi finished speaking, two voices came from the other side. It was an old woman and a young girl who also planned to stay in this hotel. When Goziqi was observing the two people, the old woman also noticed that he was looking over.

After the four eyes met for a moment, the two of them withdrew their gazes at the same time and entered the hotel.

"You are doing a very important job. Only by eating well can you replenish your energy to complete the task, so enjoy it to your heart's content... You guys started eating before I even finished talking?" Goziqi said helplessly, looking at the group of people in front of him who seemed to have been hungry for several days.

"Such delicious meat should be brought to the captain and others to taste!" Chi Tong said while eating.

"How about we pack some and bring them to them?" Cornelia said

"Good idea! But... I will definitely eat it on the way!" Chi Tong stabbed the fork in her hand into the table fiercely, lowered her head and said with tears in her eyes

"You should at least exercise your willpower." Cornelia could only complain.

"Next... I'm going to look at the next course of action. You just need to behave like a normal girl these few days."

"Cornelia, I'll leave the work to you."Gozizi stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said to Cornelia:

"Leave it to me, father."

"Ha Hu……"

Cornelia woke up from her bed around dawn. She couldn't fall asleep again, so she decided to take a dip in the hot springs in the hotel.

"My father should still be thinking about the next plan. The captain is not here now, so I must take good care of everyone. Cornelia took off her clothes outside the hot spring and prepared to change into a yukata.

"By the way... Chu Yufan... what is he doing now?……"Cornelia, who had changed into a yukata, suddenly remembered what happened in the dressing room last time.

As soon as she opened the door of the hot spring room, Cornelia found a figure floating in the middle of the hot spring. She was startled and rushed up.

"Are you dead?! Are you okay?"

"Um... I'm sorry, I was just being sentimental.……"Cornelia drank her milk and said to the woman sitting next to her.

"……I should be the one to apologize for making you misunderstand me. I thought I could book the whole place for the night."

"I know, I know. I was planning to take a swim in the hot spring. Cornelia said with a smile.

"My name is Taeko, and I am traveling with my grandmother to expand my horizons."

"I am Cornelia, and I am currently training as a martial artist in various places as a disciple of the Imperial Fist Temple."

"The one from the Royal Fist Temple is really amazing." After saying this, Taeko took another sip of milk.

"The milk here is really delicious, and the hotel's food is also very good."

"puff……"

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Taeko's expression, Cornelia thought of Bonnie and couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay, I just feel like you are a friend of mine"

"…Friends... huh? It's great, it's lively and fun. I don't have many friends, although I always hang out with my grandmother."

"……"

Cornelia looked at Taeko's expression and couldn't help asking

"Taeko, will you be living here recently?"

"It depends on what grandma means, but it's probably like this."

"Well, if you don't mind, you can come and chat with me anytime. We will stay here temporarily." Cornelia said with a smile, holding up the milk bottle in her hand and said to Taeko.

"Please give me more advice"

"Thank you……"

Although Taeko's expression was not particularly obvious, it was obvious that she was very happy about Cornelia's invitation. She thanked Cornelia for her many words and clinked the milk bottle in her hand with Cornelia's.

"Ding Dong."
