You're saying they're missing?

With her shoulder bandaged and bruised, Dorothea received some very bad news.

That is, Kirito, who uses flight as a means, failed to find Zheng Chenggong and his followers who had escaped.

(How could they have left so quickly in such a short time?)

It's hard to imagine that the opponent, with a Master by their side, could be faster than one's own Servant.

"Perhaps they didn't escape, but..."

Kirito didn't finish his sentence, but Dorothea immediately realized what he meant.

"Still hiding in Yokosuka."

She frowned, thinking it was possible.

Given Zheng Chenggong's abilities, his tactic of returning after leaving was reasonable.

As the saying goes, "the darkest place is under the lamp."

By using the idea of ​​"escaping," they actually returned here in some way.

"Go find it quickly!!"

The barrier was destroyed, rendering its detection capabilities ineffective, so she could only order her subordinates to search for it immediately.

Zheng Chenggong's appearance was quite striking.

"Yes!"

The sailors scattered and left, leaving only Dorothea and Kirito behind.

"I'll go too."

Knowing he couldn't just wait around, Kirito decided to take a stroll around the city as well.

"."

Dorothea simply sighed as she watched Kirito leave.

Their reaction was ultimately much slower.

"If we lose like this..."

Recalling the scene of being knocked to the ground, my feelings are quite complicated.

If that Servant had intended to kill, she might have already died at that moment.

He was only bruised on the shoulder from the end of the spear, which saved his life.

"It's not over yet."

Perhaps out of resentment, perhaps out of humiliation, she gritted her teeth and whispered.

……

"My lord, we have been waiting for a long time."

"Let's go."

Mounting his horse, Zheng Chenggong followed the pre-arranged route to the person in charge of making contact.

"You've probably noticed, haven't you?"

Looking back at the port city, Zheng Chenggong murmured.

When he and Yoriichi escaped, he created a fake magic source as bait and ran away to another place. This thing would dissipate into the air in no time.

Even if they catch up, the enemy will only be misled by the remaining traces.

Now that he could see people running around in the harbor, he knew that the female Master should have realized what was happening.

"Go back now."

Having achieved considerable success, Zheng Chenggong showed no intention of lingering and rode off into the distance.

"Now we're closer to victory."

With two Dragon Balls, they've taken the second step.

The next step is to plan for the remaining people.

"Hopefully Zhengxue can bring some good news."

He hoped that his allies could do more.

…………

"Leaved?"

"What a restless Master."

Back at Kan'eiji Temple, Utsugi learned that his Master had gone out again.

Although he didn't mind the other party's frequent little tricks, it couldn't even be called a farce.

"Was a control spell left on the spiritual vein?"

"That's the right thing to do."

"But you're underestimating me a bit."

As a Master, Utsuro could sense the effort and thought behind the other's actions.

He picked up a regular longsword from the display stand and smiled.

"Are they heading to Yoshiwara?"

Based on the contractual connection, Xu roughly determined the location of that place.

This Master has a wide network of connections, ranging from high-ranking officials in the shogunate to various ronin.

He can be described as a man who is very resourceful and well-prepared in achieving his goals.

Do what you can.

"At that end, all that awaits is nothingness."

"nothingness."

.........

"As expected, we still need to decide a winner between us first."

The two heroic spirits stood facing each other on the riverbank, each assuming a fighting stance.

Masayuki and Takao Tayu stood behind each other, watching.

Miyamoto Musashi

Sasaki Kojiro

Is it a tragic fate or a coincidence?

There's no way to avoid the two.

"That's not entirely true."

"Whoosh!"

Kojiro simply shook his head with a faint smile.

The figure and Musashi disappeared at the same time, and the resulting flashes of swords in the air stirred up the air currents.

"Clang!!"

"Kaka."

Sparks were generated as the swords clashed.

"Boom!!"

The slash marks that cut through the ground made it difficult to approach.

"Ah"

With a smirk playing on his lips, Musashi continued to slash and hack using various sword techniques.

Water, Wind, Earth, Fire.

Even so, Kojiro handled it perfectly.

Two days, one style.

In terms of understanding, they are already familiar with each other as enemies.

On the contrary, he can use his own skills to suppress Musashi's performance.

"call out!"

The sword energy of the Sky Form cut out, but Kojiro easily dodged it by simply turning to the side.

The pressure of that sword cutting through the water, if it were to strike a person, would surely be able to easily slice them in two.

"Wow!"

Holding his long sword, Kojiro closed in a flash, then made a swaying motion as he drew his sword.
