Elevator Dimension Line

And that is indeed the case; Gennosuke's arrival was precisely for Hoshimi Miyabi.

"Prince Gennosuke! What brings you to our house so early in the morning?" Hu Yi asked curiously, holding a towel.

"I've come to see Ms. Hoshimi Miyabi!" Gennosuke said, looking at Hoshimi Miyabi.

"Hmm?" Hu Yi turned his head curiously.

Hoshimi Miyabi didn't speak, but quietly looked at the other person, waiting for them to say something next.

"Hu Yi said he met Miss Ya in a village near Junfu City. It seems Miss Ya had already been to Junfu City before. We received a message from Junfu City last night that they seem to be looking for a woman dressed the same as Miss Ya..."

"Miss Ya should know about this, right?"

Gennosuke looked at Hoshimi Miyabi and directly relayed the information sent by Night Flying Eagle. Their ninjas had their own intelligence systems in major city-states, and after learning the truth about Sunpu Castle's large-scale search for someone, they naturally had to send the information back.

Hoshimi Miyabi had nothing to hide and nodded in agreement.

"Miss Ya, could you tell me why the samurai are searching for you all over the city? Now there are portraits of you everywhere on the main roads near the city gate," Gennosuke said, frowning.

"I was staying at an inn in the city at the time, and I used a silver coin... I suppose that silver coin caused the trouble!"

As Hoshimi Miyabi spoke, she flipped her hand and took out a cat paw silver coin.

Hu Yi, who was standing next to him, saw the gleaming silver coins and subconsciously took them, examining them in his hand.

The next moment, he exclaimed in surprise, "Is this made of silver? Why is it so shiny? It's so beautiful!"

Yang Yan glanced at Xing Jianya, and after seeing that the other party gave her a casual look, she took the silver coin from Hu Yi's hand and examined it carefully. Then, with a surprised expression, she handed the silver coin to Gennosuke.

Gennosuke held the silver coin and looked at it for a while before his brows slowly furrowed.

To outsiders, the silver coins in front of them appear exceptionally bright, but those with a discerning eye understand that this indicates extremely high purity. On a deeper level, the ability to use such silver coins demonstrates that the other party possesses remarkably advanced smelting and refining techniques.

Judging from this silver coin, at least for now, no one in the country has this level of purity. Does this mean that the other party has mastered a very advanced smelting technology?

This technology, which can be used on silver coins, can also be used on gold coins, and even on steel...

This series of thoughts is also what made Gennosuke frown.

"Where exactly is Miss Ya's family from? Do you use this kind of currency where you live?" Gennosuke asked. Although he had asked this question before at the banquet, the other party had only given it a cursory answer, clearly not wanting anyone to know. But now Gennosuke asked again with great seriousness.

Because there are too many things involved behind this.

Hoshimi Miyabi smiled and shook her head slightly.

"You really don't need to go to great lengths to find out where I come from; it's too far removed from your lives... But perhaps you'll find out someday in the future. For now, just know that I have no ill intentions."

Hu Yi and Yang Yan both looked at Genjiro, but compared to Yang Yan's calmness, Hu Yi was somewhat worried. She didn't want anything to happen to her new friend.

Seeing Gennosuke remain silent, Hoshimi Miyabi smiled and said, "I know that you Koga and Iga are affiliated with Hattori Hanzo's samurai clan, and they are retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu... Are you planning to hand me over to those people in Sunjou Prefecture?"

Hu Yi looked at Gennosuke nervously, and even took a small step forward, wanting to say something, but Yang Yan raised his hand to stop him and gently shook his head.

“Miss Ya is joking. It’s just a silver coin. I wouldn’t hand over Hu Yi’s friend over something like that. Besides, although we Koga are under the control of Tokugawa Ieyasu, we have our own independent decisions. Miss, you don’t need to worry. I came here early this morning just to find out what happened so as to avoid any misunderstanding.”

"I see! Then I should thank Gennosuke!" Hoshimi Miyabi said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the courtyard immediately improved.

Gennosuke and Kagerou then bid farewell and left.

Hoshimi Miya glanced at the silver coin that had been returned to her and casually gave it to Hu Yi. The latter initially wanted to refuse, but Hoshimi Miya called her a good friend, so she gladly accepted it. The key was that it was too beautiful, and she couldn't bear to part with it.

To express his gratitude, he disregarded his brother's daily morning practice and dragged Hoshimi Miya out, saying he would continue to show her the sights they hadn't seen yet, as there were still many places she hadn't been to.

Hoshimi Miya was somewhat speechless. Hu Yi had dragged her around the nearby mountains and forests for a whole morning, and there were indeed a few places with particularly beautiful scenery, especially a natural hot spring. Hu Yi said that not many people knew about this place, only a handful of people. The key point was that there was no road here, and it would be difficult for someone without certain skills to climb up here.

It was almost noon when the two returned to the village.

Hu Yi had just returned home and was about to cook, but her brother, who had rushed over, stopped her, saying that the leader was still entertaining Miss Ya at noon today and that they should all go together.

Hoshimi Miyabi hesitated, feeling somewhat guilty for always letting the other party host banquets.

However, Kisaragi Saemon said it was just a regular lunch, simple, but he didn't want to make do with something too simple for the guests from out of town.

The Koga chief's family undoubtedly had the best food in the entire village; the others at home would just have rice balls with soy sauce...

Hoshimi Miyabi didn't dwell on it too much; since it was just a regular meal, it didn't matter who hosted it.

Upon arriving at the Koga Danjo's compound, as soon as you enter, you see Koga Gennosuke, dressed in a training uniform, practicing swordsmanship with great effort, clearly sweating profusely in the open space of the front yard.

Koga Dan was sitting in the main room with the door open, a pipe dangling from his mouth, watching his grandson train.

Meanwhile, on the outer veranda, Muroga Hyoma, the blind man, was clearly supervising Gennosuke's training. Kagerou was sitting cross-legged beside him, and there was another person that Hoshimi Miyabi recognized—Udono Josuke, that lecherous fat man.

Seeing Hoshimi Miyabi, Hu Yi, and Zaemon enter, Gennosuke's training continued. Kagerou nodded slightly in greeting, while the fat man waved enthusiastically to Hoshimi Miyabi, as if they were old friends.

"Miss Ya, please wait a moment. The kitchen is preparing lunch, it will be ready soon."

From inside the main gate of the house came the kind voice of Koga Dansho.

Hoshimi Miyabi nodded and said, "Thank you, Chief. I'm really sorry to have troubled you so much!"

"Hehehe, of course. You're a guest, we can't just let that girl Hu Yi make you a shoddy meal!"

Koga Danjo's words made Hu Yi roll her eyes, but since the other party was the leader, she didn't dare to say anything.

Besides, her cooking is only so-so; it won't kill you.
