My Gang of Swordsmen

Chapter 467: Chapter 165: The Law Punishment Faction’s New Officer: Wind Demon Scythe Weasel

Before Mr. Kamino could finish speaking, Rakshasa waved his hand to interrupt him, ”No need for money. I won’t take a penny for these barrels of oil.”

”Are you going to give all these barrels of oil to us?” Shinno was dumbfounded.

”Anyway, such a small quantity of oil doesn’t cost much.” Rakshasa propped up his arm to support his head again, ”But... if you say I’m giving all this oil to you for free, that’s not quite right.”

”I have some conditions here, too.”

”Mr. Kamino, after we help you gather all the oil without charge, you must carry out your plan honestly.”

”I’m very much looking forward to your big plan.”

The unsettling smile once again hung on Rakshasa’s cheeks.

”It’s because I’m eager to see you turn that area into ashes that I decided to help you gather the oil.”

”So... don’t let me find out that you took the goods and did nothing.”

Rakshasa didn’t utter a single threatening word throughout his speech. Rather, he maintained a very amiable tone.

Yet it was this amiable speech that brought a drop of cold sweat to Kamino’s forehead.

”Of course! We in the Anti-foreigner Group have made thorough preparations for this plan!”

”Burning that hateful area to the ground is our long-cherished wish!”

”If possible, we’d love to destroy that area today and kill everyone living there!”

Rakshasa smiled and nodded, ”That’s good.”

At this moment, Rakshasa remembered something and started to smile meaningfully.

”Mr. Kamino, after you attacked the Foreign Language Research Institute and hit a wall at Tachibana Aoto’s place, I thought you’d take fierce revenge on Tachibana Aoto, but to my surprise, you did nothing... I was quite surprised.”

Tachibana Aoto... Upon hearing this name, Kamino’s pupils slightly contracted, and his face changed dramatically.

”...After the battle at the Foreign Language Research Institute, I indeed thought about exacting sharp revenge on Tachibana Aoto,” Kamino said in a steady voice, ”but I ultimately resisted the idea.”

”Compared to our great cause in the Anti-foreigner Group, Tachibana Aoto is insignificant!”

”After the failure at the Foreign Language Research Institute, our group’s strength weakened significantly, and we definitely can’t waste precious manpower and resources on matters that can be postponed.”

”Gathering strength for revenge against Tachibana Aoto would be a case of the small losing the big.”

”As long as we can accomplish our grand cause of expelling the barbarians, Tachibana Aoto, and other matters... I can temporarily endure them all!”

After speaking, Kamino, with glaring eyes and clenched teeth, had a glimmer in his eyes—a name known as ”madness” and ”obsession” engulfed his pupils.

Seeing Kamino’s appearance, Rakshasa’s already grinning mouth stretched wider—it was as if he had seen the most beautiful scenery.

...

...

After seeing Kamino off, the large tea room returned to the presence of three people.

”...They plan to attack that place... What a madman.” Shimizu Eiichi stared straight in the direction Kamino left.

”Hahoho.” Rakshasa chuckled softly, ”Eiichi, bold and crazy actions are one of Mr. Kamino’s few advantages.”

Rakshasa grabbed the tea mug before him, sipping lightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

After placing the tea back in its original spot, he turned his head to look at Scythe Weasel.

”Scythe Weasel.”

”What is it?” Scythe Weasel glared at Rakshasa with an unfriendly expression.

”Since you’re idling anyway, I’ll give you a task—go secretly protect Mr. Kamino.”

”Stealth is your specialty, so this task suits you well.”

”Huh?” Scythe Weasel’s face suddenly sank, ”Protect that Kamino? Why?”

”Because Mr. Kamino is someone I greatly appreciate.” Rakshasa smiled calmly, ”You know me, I love talent the most, and when I see precious talent, I always want to enlist them.”

The South and North Governor’s Office of Edo and the Arson and Theft Magistrate are vigorously investigating the Anti-foreigner Group. Although Mr. Kamino’s secrecy methods are quite good, neither the Magistrate’s Office nor the Arson and Theft Magistrate has found the group’s base, but even a hundred careful plans can have a loophole.”

”For such a talent to die prematurely would be quite a pity.”

”So go help me secretly protect Mr. Kamino. Just don’t let him die; anything else is up to you.”

Scythe Weasel’s expression, fluctuating wildly, fiercely stared at Rakshasa’s face.

About two breaths later, he stood up with a ”huff”, looking down at Rakshasa.

”Rakshasa, who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to boss Laozi around? You think you’re Lord Orochi or Lord Ōtakemaru?”

Instantly, the atmosphere in the tea room turned suffocating.
