Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball Wars!

Chapter 653 653. The legend of retreat! (4K)

The eleventh year of Meiji.

Kyoto

"Xiao Cao, where are you going?"

"Hey, I'm going to visit Himura-san's house."

"Wait! They moved out yesterday."

"Ah?! So fast?"

"Idiot, while you were sleeping, others had already taken care of everything."

"Ah! That's too much!"

Seeing his granddaughter's reckless look, the old man from Yutingfan shook his head.

"Damn it! You didn't even let me say goodbye."

"Where did he, Sister Ba, and Jianlu move to?"

"Huh? What do you want to do if you know this?"

Alerted, the old man stared at her and asked.

"Of course I'll go and see it if I get the chance."

"After all, only Feicun-san knows where Master Cangzi is."

"If he doesn't tell me for a day, I will continue to pester him!"

The girl's naughty words left the old man speechless.

He knew what the other person was thinking, but he felt that it was unrealistic.

It's said to be entanglement, but in fact it's just eating and sleeping at someone else's house.

This kind of thing has never stopped since Makoto Cao learned about that identity.

Although she was facing the "Batousai" that everyone feared, this girl was not afraid at all.

In her words, it is

(Himura Battosai? He’s not as scary as you said. He’s a seemingly ordinary and friendly person. Is that really true?)

Regarding the granddaughter's initial comments, everyone in Yutingfan shook their heads.

If that Battousai was really so amiable, there wouldn't have been such a terrible legend about the shogunate.

Of course, they actually knew that Battousai was retiring in the mountains near Kyoto to "retire" after they investigated two years ago.

It was funded by a big shot and needed such information.

However, out of some considerations, the Royal Court Fans did not take the initiative to report and intervene, but bluntly stated that they could not find it.

Because it’s not clear how many forces are involved.

Now that their family has a big business and a small business, they can no longer mess around.

I only had contact with that Himura Battosai out of a friendly attitude.

In fact, it was indeed gentler than the old man imagined.

If he hadn't met the other person before, it would be difficult for him to identify him as "him".

In fact, there are actually things that people care about.

That is the rumor that "Himura Battōsai can revive the dead."

Although I don’t know which idiot made the news, no one in the world takes it seriously.

After all, everyone knows that the executioner Battousai at most carries a knife intended to "not kill", rather than such ridiculous rumors.

"Tell me quickly!"

"no."

"Why!"

"Once you say it, you have to go and disturb the other person, right?"

"Anyway, Himura-san and Tomoe-san don't care."

"You are a little self-conscious after all."

Feeling a little helpless due to his granddaughter's insistent questioning, the old man criticized him sternly.

"Feicun is currently being watched by many forces. You must not break into such a world without permission."

"If we're not careful, the Yuting fans we have left alone may be doomed."

It was the first time that the old man spoke with such a stern expression and tone, and Makimachi stopped for a moment.

Although she is still young, she knows a few things.

(I will take my family out of here later)

(Eh? Why?)

(Because Kyoto is getting a little noisy.)

The reason why Kenshin moved away can be guessed to some extent.

Perhaps it was because he was afraid of getting involved in trouble that he left early.

But it would still be a bit unwilling for her to give up like this.

After all, Battousai is the only "information source" who knows the whereabouts of Lord Cang Zi.

Because of this, she didn't want to cut off this only clue.

(Just wait. I will definitely find you.)

Since her status as a member of the Royal Court Fans was not enough, she would go find him alone, and that would be fine.

"Hmm"

Looking at his granddaughter who had calmed down, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the sky.

What he said before was not a lie, but Battousai was really at the center of the whirlpool.

Many people are looking for him

Positive and negative.

Although I don't know the specific reason, it is safer to avoid its sharp edges.

"Feicun, you have to be careful."

Muttering like that in a low voice can't be of much help now that the other party has left.

………

Tokyo・Shitamachi

"Bang!!"

Looking at the man with a kind face and rolling eyes lying on the roadside, Kaoru Kamiya was confused.

She couldn't help but start to wonder whether her previous speculation was true.

Is this man with the cross scar on his face really the legendary executioner Battousai?

"I'm just a medicine man who happens to come from the mountains."

"I came to town to buy some seeds."

Slowly getting up, patting the dust-stained clothes with his hands, Kenshin said helplessly.

"Pharmacist?"

"But you are nothing like ordinary people."

Staring at each other suspiciously, Kaoru Kamiya was surprised.

In the field of vision, the man's backpack was filled with grass and seeds, and a precious and brand-new sword hung on his waist.

There's no way a pharmacist would carry a knife that looks very precious like that, right?

"Do you think this knife can kill people?"

Deliberately handing over the knife at his waist, Kaoru Kamiya pulled it out after listening to his words.

"Zheng"

So beautiful.

Holding the unsheathed sword, Kaoru Kamiya's first reaction was like this.

I was stunned for a moment.

But then she shook her head violently.

(There are no gaps. There are no traces of killing anyone.)

The suspicion was eliminated, and Kamiya Kaoru also understood that he had misunderstood the other party.

(That’s right. He can’t be)

(It is rumored that Battousai was a swordsman with two swords.)

(After disappearing for so long, he suddenly appeared, and he would definitely not bring such a new sword with no momentum.)

Not feeling any pressure or murderous intent from the man in front of her, she then returned the knife to him.

"You are such a person!"

"Recently, there are people trying to kill people with swords every night in Battosai. It's easy for people to misunderstand you with such a knife hanging around!!"

"Wearing a sword is not allowed in Meiji society!"

The girl in front of him taught him something up close, but Kenshin just smiled awkwardly.

"But the pharmacists in the mountains have never heard of it."

"Because I just moved here with my family recently."

"I see."

Putting away the natural teeth, Kenshin kindly answered the other party's doubts.

"It's Battosai!! The executioner Battosai!!!"

A shout stopped the communication between the two. Kaoru Kamiya's expression changed and he immediately ran to follow the source of the sound.

Kenshin frowned and looked over there.

It is clear that we have finally ushered in an era of peace, but there are always people with evil intentions who are causing trouble.

It's not that he has never seen people pretending to be names before, but most of them are the kind of ignorant people who pretend to be powerful.

This time, I didn’t expect that I would encounter a similar situation again as soon as I arrived in Tokyo.

The executioner draws his sword.

Even if it is not used to point at himself, it will make Kenshin "consciously" assume that identity.

After all, even though he has saved many people with the natural teeth in his hands over the years, he still cannot ignore and erase the killings he has done in the past.

"But, precisely because of you, I can better save more people."

Touching the knife with his hand and feeling the excitement, Kenshin said with a slight sigh.

It would be no exaggeration to say that this knife was specially "customized" for me.

It was a divine object that even Master praised and amazed.

It exactly matches Kenshin's current identity and state of mind.

Coincident to the point of being too comfortable.

Taking steps, Kenshin walked towards the place where the sound had just come from.

No matter who was causing trouble this time, he had to go and take a look.

After all, I just moved here, and I will have to deal with the residents here for a long time, so I have to help.

………

"Pfft!!"

"This guy is so strong!"

"Is it really the rumored Battousai?"

The police officers who arrived had already been slashed to several people. Facing the strong man's physique, the only ones left standing trembled.

"Danger!"

How could the girl who had just arrived with a wooden sword be her opponent?

They could already witness each other being hacked to death.

"Go to hell!"

Even Kaoru Kamiya himself believed that he would inevitably die.

"Crack!"

"pain"

But a slight sound caught her attention.

Immediately afterwards, the strong man with his face covered made a sound of pain, and the swung knife deviated from the trajectory and hit the side.

"Haaah!!"

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

She was stunned for a moment, with no time to reflect on the unnecessary things. She took the broken wooden knife in her hand and hit the side of the opponent's head.

"you!"

His head was hit hard by a wooden knife, and he was a little dazed. Although the strong man with his face covered did not know what happened just now, he subconsciously fled the scene.

"Wait for me"

He was about to catch up, but was held back.

Looking back, Kaoru Kamiya found that the pharmacist with the bamboo pole on his back had appeared again.

"It's better not to chase him."

"Whether it's in terms of physical strength or real swordsmanship, you were too reckless."

"Leave it to the police officers"

Holding the opponent's wrist and shaking his head to dissuade him, Kenshin appeared here without knowing when.

This girl is bolder than he thought.

Let's take a wooden sword to compete with a real sword, but the physical difference is so big.

No matter how you think about it, there is no chance of winning.

"No, that guy claims to be Battousai in the name of my sect and is still killing people. I will never let him go!"

But after hearing Kaoru Kamiya's words of explanation, he also understood why the other party was pursuing him so hard.

Ruining one's reputation is indeed unbearable for the person concerned.

Just like facing slander, no one will think it is a happy thing.

"However, to challenge with such behavior is to take your own life too lightly."

After thinking about it for a while, Kenshin had a rough idea, and then he let go of the other person's hand.

With this time difference, Kaoru Kamiya couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.

"!"

After hearing this, she hesitated and chased after him, but she stopped just as she reached the corner.

Realizing something was wrong, he looked back, only to find that the pharmacist who was supposed to be standing there just now was no longer there.

(He is.)

Others may not have noticed the scene before, but Kaoru Kamiya did.

The reason why the strong man with the masked face didn't hit her was because the thumb holding the knife was hit by a stone.

Although it was only for a moment, that voice could not be fake.

And the only person who can do this kind of thing is the pharmacist just now.

………

"Master Shishio, Himura Battosai has left Kyoto."

As the advisor of Shishio Group, Fang Zhi reported the relevant situation.

"Hey, as expected, you chose this after all, that senior."

"Then, should we send..."

Just when he was about to propose whether to call for someone to intercept and kill, he was stared at by Shishio's cold eyes and couldn't move.

"Fang Zhi."

"Yes!"

When Shishio called his name, he was inexplicably flustered.

"Do you know why I still respect that senior?"

"This."

He didn't understand the reason, and he couldn't think of it.

"The strong prey on the weak."

"No matter what position we take, the status of Himura senior and I will always be like this."

"Even if ten years have passed, I am still a weak person in front of him. He is a strong person."

"This is a fact that is not worth talking about no matter how many warships are tied to it or how many people come."

Unbelievable to hear such a reason to "increase others' prestige", Fang Zhi's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Hey? Master Shishio, is that Battousai stronger than you? I heard that he has stopped killing people for a long time."

"Just because Sojiro himself has become stronger doesn't mean that others are weaker."

"If you can easily defeat the enemy, then what's the point of killing or not killing?"

"Well, it's a bit hard to understand."

Although he was in a distressed tone, the expression of the young man named "Sojiro" was so wooden.

"In short, don't bother that senior."

"I don't want to be his enemy."

"But as for Okubo"

"Don't worry, even if they find the senior, they can't invite him out."

"Unless there is a reason that the senior must deal with us personally."

Slowly answering, Shishio saw it so clearly.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble that even the senior can't stand, the other party will never point the knife at him.

So there is nothing to worry about.

Avoiding the legend of "Kenshin Himura", it will be easy for him to take over the current era!

…………

"Welcome back."

"Ah, I bought some very good seeds today."

"That's really good."

Back in the wooden house built in the mountains, Kenshin smiled at his wife and son inside.

"Father."

"I'm back."

Seeing the child walking slowly, he put his backpack on the ground, squatted down and picked him up to coax him.

"By the way, please make dinner later."

"What's the matter?"

Realizing that Kenshin was going out again, Ba looked at her husband who was now older than her and asked.

"Don't worry, it's not someone from the country, just dealing with a small matter in the town."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ba felt a little relieved.

Kenshin would not hide those things from her. Since it was a small matter, it might be similar problems in the past.

With this person's skills, no one would be able to track him down.

So Ba was very relieved.

Looking at the other person's back, the sense of security was more sufficient than before.

Although she also knew Kenshin's secret, she had nothing to complain about except surprise and sighing.

He had suffered a lot, but finally recovered.

And after that, she was finally able to stay with him forever.

Himura Battosai. Has long disappeared.

But the world still did not let go of that "ghost".

The people behind the scenes who wanted to use it never stopped.

Because for those politicians, Himura Battosai is definitely a "sword" that can influence the world.

But little did they know that as a father, he could no longer kill people.

On the contrary, he was still trying to save those who needed help as much as possible.

The rumor that the dead were resurrected was actually true.

Babi knew Kenshin's "weight" at the moment better than anyone else.

That's why he and she left Kyoto and came to Tokyo to "retreat".

Although the world has begun to change, he and she will still work hard to fight for that stable life.

In this new era, new world and those new people they met.
