Chapter 369: Shut Up and Let Me Pretend to Be A Masked Weirdo

After simplely treating the wound, Bai Wei returned to the ice cream shop.

"We need to move."

Just finished eating ice cream, Yoshine Ise noticed Bai Wei’s arm and asked, "Who touched your hand?"

"Samurai."

"…" Yoshine Ise widened her eyes, her throat choked.

"Swordsman."

"I understand," Yoshine Ise nodded, "Did you get rid of him?"

"I gave him a mild concussion, so he probably won’t come back for a while," Bai Wei said.

"You are so brave!" Yoshine Ise almost shouted out, even though she knew Bai Wei was very powerful, she couldn’t believe he could defeat a master swordsman.

The samurai of the Shogunate were practically synonymous with death, they were like reapers on the battlefield.

These people were completely devoted to loyalty and had no hesitation in chopping down others, this battle was bound to be extremely dangerous.

It was a life-and-death duel, with no intention of giving up. Surprisingly, Bai Wei only inflicted a small injury and didn’t even go for the kill, proving he was in complete control.

Yoshine Ise suddenly felt a bit anxious and said, "I was too reckless before."

Bai Wei said, "Stop fooling around," and then crouched down. "Come up."

Yoshine Ise’s heart beat faster as she obediently moved closer.

The two of them left the business district in another direction and arrived at the subway station. There were many people here, and the subway was convenient for them to transfer.

Bai Wei stood at the subway entrance, considering where to go next. Before contacting Xue Hanlei, he had to constantly change his location to avoid being followed again.

Yoshine Ise said, "You can come to my house."

Bai Wei replied, "Your house must have been watched a long time ago."

"I’m not talking about the apartment we live in, but the dormitory," said Yoshine Ise.

When Bai Wei heard the word "dormitory," he thought of the dormitories at Far East University. Maybe asking Yun Wuxin for help would be…

Oh no, I don’t want to owe her a favor.

"Are you talking about the dormitory of the shrinesword witch?"

"Yes," Yoshine Ise said, "The most dangerous place is also the safest place. If you go to the shrine dormitory, I’ll have my best friends provide you with cover."

"I remember that most of the shrinesword witches went to Kamiji Village, right?"

" "Not all of them, only half went. Even the police station wouldn’t dare to surround the shrine dormitory directly. Although the samurais of the shogunate have been active this time, I still feel something suspicious. Anyway, you should hide for now," Yoshine Ise whispered, leaning against his back."

Bai Wei was feeling conflicted, or resistant, even if it meant avoiding trouble, he thought it might be a bit too much to hide directly in the girls’ dormitory…

"It definitely guarantees safety and secrecy." Ise continued.

Bai Wei："…"

What I’m worried about is safety?

What if I get exposed, will I end up socially dead?

Or if Simozi catches wind of it, I’m afraid she’ll come up with a wooden sword to settle the score with you guys.

Yoshine Ise patted his shoulder, urging, "Is a big man like you really so indecisive? If you have a better place to go, do you think I would be willing to bring you back to the dormitory?"

Bai Wei really had nowhere to go, so he could only try to contact the rich widow. Doing business with the dragon clan didn’t involve worrying about personal favors, because she never got cheated.

"Alright."

The Ming Country surrendered.

Forget it, let’s just pretend it’s an outing… Anyway, there’s no sense of tension so far, the person behind the scenes, please do something, I beg you, waiting for your help.

…

In an office, someone is making a phone call.

"The Shogunate’s mission to confiscate swords failed…"

"How is that possible? The one who received the mission was Ishida Kiyoshimasa! His strength in sword confiscation is top-notch, only surpassed by two top-level monsters!"

"But he did fail, and fainted in the street. There are no fatal injuries on his body, but he fell into a coma and it’s uncertain when he’ll wake up."

"This is troublesome, the Shogunate’s sword confiscators are not opponents. How many trump cards do we have left?"

"Do you think we’ll have many chances? The police department is a group of fools whose brains are clouded by achievements, but the Shogunate is not. The samurais have already started to suspect, they just don’t have any evidence for now. But we still need them to act, and the Shogunate General’s personal letter is indispensable. Now, the forces we can mobilize have reached a critical point."

"If we can’t borrow a samurai, what other power can we borrow? A shrine? No, the shrine won’t agree."

"This person has a special identity, we must plan ahead to kill them… This is a divine prophecy!"

"Of course I know it’s a divine prophecy, do you know that we’ve spent over ten years setting up secret lines for this prophecy?!"

"It’s because you didn’t infiltrate enough!"

"It’s not our infiltration that’s the problem, they weren’t convinced by faith or baptism, they were blackmailed. Even the important officials of the shogunate, with their bellies full, would rather die than betray the shogun. Their loyalty has become imprinted in their minds!"

"Damn it, they’re not even from the Ming Country, where did they get such loyalty? The people of Yingzhou usually love overthrowing the higher-ups! We should have overthrown this shogun a long time ago!"

"I understand your feelings, but you won’t be able to move even one finger of an elevated heroic spirit… Think about what to do next, the prophecy must be fulfilled! We can’t let the plan be delayed at this point…"

"I know, destabilizing the mainland of Yingzhou is to buy time in Hokkaido… I will continue to distract the police department… The shogunate can’t make any more moves, maybe we can consider causing a bigger disturbance, a city-wide manhunt?"

"This may lead to conflicts between several organizations, even tearing apart jurisdictions."

"Isn’t this exactly the chaos we need?"

"Unless it’s absolutely necessary, please don’t do this. Making too much noise can attract attention from the top of Osaka Castle."

"Continuing to fool around won’t buy us much time. Neither you nor I are completely safe, both of us could be exposed."

"I have already prepared to return to the divine kingdom. Death means eternal life!"

"Alright, since you’ve made up your mind… I will gather the followers in advance and you can confirm the location."

"Okay, the next divine gaze will come tonight… Praise our god."

"Praise our god."

After ending the call, the person sitting in the room dialed another phone number after a moment.

"Let the followers be prepared."

"Tonight, we will call upon God’s apostles."

…

After walking for an hour and a half, they arrived at the shrine’s right side, from where they could already see the shrine’s back mountain.

"Ahead is the dormitory," Yoshine Ise said, looking at the small stream. "During the summer, many girls come here to relax. The water here is abundant and nourishing for the skin."

Bai Wei asked, "What if, I mean what if… instead of going in, I stay here and set up a camp?"

"You could, but if you live like a wild person, you won’t be able to receive any information from the outside world," replied Yoshine Ise. "And since it’s so close, once you start a fire, the sword witches will find you by nightfall."

Bai Wei sighed, "I guess I have to go in…"

"Come on, don’t be shy. Go in quickly."

"Why don’t you try going into the men’s restroom without being shy?"

"I will tell my best friend that you use the dormitory as a toilet."

"Then, would it be better to say the women’s locker room?"

"Well, it’s not impossible… After all, there are quite a few girls who don’t dress properly."

"Don’t you have a dormitory supervisor aunt here?"

"No, everyone is not a student. We are all adults. If there’s any problem, just report it to the shrine management."

Yoshine Ise suddenly lowered her gaze. "What are you squatting down for?"

"Someone…"

"Well, if there’s someone, then there’s someone. If it’s someone I know, I’ll just go over and say hello."

"I want to try to infiltrate."

"Do you really think of yourself as a pervy criminal trying to infiltrate the girls’ dormitory?"

"I talk too much and my pride won’t allow it," Bai Wei hesitated and said, "Instead of meeting in the corridor, I’d rather be a weirdo who wears underwear on my head as a fake mask!"

Just as the two were talking, suddenly the window behind the dormitory opened, a head popped out. It was a sword witch who had just woken up, her upper body in disarray, revealing a beautiful collarbone. She yawned and stretched lazily, then immediately noticed the two petrified figures downstairs. "Ah~ hey? Isn’t this Ise? Yahoo~ who is this little brother? Are you a relative of Ise?"

Yoshine Ise shook her head and said, "No, he is, uh, a friend. I’ll introduce you later."

"Okay, great! Let me change clothes and come to your room later."

"Mr. Bai…" Ise patted his shoulder and made a sad expression. "You won’t be able to be a underwear thief anymore."
