"So you're leaving too?"
Washizu did not fly into a rage. Instead, he felt somewhat gratified.
Although this Yashumoto had not received all of Miss Nao's teachings, it could not hide his talent in medicine. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Miss Nao had taken him as her student.
Indeed, such a person could not be allowed to be buried in the village.
"If even I leave, then this village..."
Yashumoto did not continue. In a sense, he was the last spiritual pillar of this village.
If even he left, then this Higi Village could be said to have truly collapsed.
"Sigh."
To this, Washizu only sighed and did not say much more.
Although it was a bit selfish to say so, he still hoped that Yashumoto would stay.
After the leaflets were distributed, the villagers had mixed reactions. Some were happy, some were worried, and some were indifferent.
Most of those who were happy were the villagers of Higi Village. Because they were on Yashiori Island, they had rarely dealt with the Shogunate and felt that the Shogunate's army still had a conscience.
Those who were worried were the miners and refugees who had fled from Tatarasuna. Because they knew better than anyone how untrustworthy those ruthless Shogunate soldiers were.
Compared to the Shogunate... they were more willing to trust the resistance, which was also said to be very bad in the mouths of the villagers.
As for those who were indifferent...
They had already begun to look at their friends or relatives with strange eyes, because they had been too severely affected by the Tatarigami and were about to lose themselves.
After distributing the leaflets, Yashumoto pushed the small cart to the village entrance.
And Gorou had been waiting here for a long time.
"Miss, come with me first. It's not safe here."
Looking at the few refugees who had been sneakily following behind, Yashumoto said in a low voice.
Because of Teacher Nao, he had some prestige in this Higi Village. So as long as those refugees still had a trace of reason, they would not attack the innocent passers-by around him.
After all, they still needed his "herbal soup" to cure their illness.
At this point, Gorou was about to reveal his identity.
But outside the village, Bai Luo's voice suddenly sounded.
"Miss Hina! So you're here, I was so worried!"
Bai Luo, carrying the package with Gorou's clothes, ran over in a hurry, looking very anxious, and checked Gorou's condition up and down.
Gorou: "..."
Gorou opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not explain. He stood behind Bai Luo with a somewhat lifeless expression.
Want to take off this outfit? In your dreams.
As for cross-dressing, there is only the first time and countless times.
So the matter of tricking him into cross-dressing could be considered to have come to an end. The next step was to let him get used to this outfit.
How to get used to it?
Just like this, to maintain this appearance in front of strangers.
When he was completely used to appearing in front of others in women's clothing, it would be time to enter the next stage.
When he could appear in front of strangers and even acquaintances in women's clothing without any pressure, it would be considered that the "training" had achieved a certain result.
If he could take the initiative to wear this outfit without Bai Luo's request, then it would be considered a preliminary success.
As for a great success...
Ehe, we'll talk about that in detail then.
"Are you this... Miss Hina's friend?"
After seeing Bai Luo's attire, Yashumoto did not find it strange.
As mentioned before, the Battousai's attire was no longer a rare sight in Inazuma. Even in Inazuma City, they had even begun to sell similar clothing.
It wasn't that the Tenryou Commission hadn't tried to cause trouble, but it was a legitimate business, and they were only selling kimonos. The Shogunate couldn't possibly convict them of a crime like selling red kimonos, so in the end, it was left unresolved.
"Yes, my Miss Hina is a light novel enthusiast. She came to this Yashiori Island to gather material. I never thought that in the time it took to change clothes, Miss Hina would disappear. It really worried me."
Bai Luo made a hushing gesture to Gorou and then began to chat with Yashumoto.
At first, Gorou was a little confused, but when Bai Luo said the next sentence, he understood the other party's "good intentions."
"By the way, what's wrong with this village? I remember it used to be quite lively here. How did it become..."
I see. Mr. Himura is trying to get information.
Thinking about it carefully, it was Yashumoto who had awakened the village chief who had almost gone mad. It was also he who had pushed a cart to deliver medicine to people. Even the only sober person in the village seemed to be this person.
As expected of Mr. Himura. He saw through this Yashumoto's problem at a glance.
Compared to this, his own idea of taking off this outfit as soon as possible was a bit irrational.
Isn't it just an outfit? For the greater good, I'll endure it.
I am the general of Watatsumi Island! What storms have I not seen!
Even if I take off my military attire and put on red makeup, I can still cause trouble for one side!
Thinking of this, he actually put on a gentle and dependent look and stood behind Bai Luo.
"..."
His behavior, on the other hand, made Bai Luo a little confused.
What's wrong with this kid? When did my "training" skill reach the max level? It's only been a short while, and he's already starting to skip levels?
"Let's go to my place first. It's not convenient to talk here."
Looking at the refugees hiding in the distance, eyeing them covetously, Yashumoto said in a low voice.
If he didn't take these two people away, no one knew what those madmen would do.
After all... many people who had come here had already disappeared.
Bai Luo and Gorou looked at each other and did not refuse the other party's proposal. They followed him, treading on the muddy ground, and went to Yashumoto's home.
Yashumoto's home was not in Higi Village. To Gorou's surprise, it was actually on the back of the resistance's camp, separated from their camp by a hillside.
He had heard the soldiers in the military camp report that there was a household here. After investigation, they found that it was just an ordinary villager, so they let him live here.
He never thought that person would be Yashumoto.
"This is it. If you two don't mind, please come in for a cup of tea."
After putting the cart in the rain shelter, Yashumoto wiped the rain from his face and said enthusiastically.
Yashumoto's house was not big. His house was the same as the houses in Higi Village, a thatched hut. It should have been repaired by the people from that side.
In the small courtyard, there were various utensils, which should contain some medicinal herbs.
The most conspicuous was the pile of violetgrass peels in the corner. Soaked in the rain, the purple liquid flowed down the ditch, and the visual impact was unusually strong.
Compared to the outside of the thatched hut, the inside was very exquisite.
Not only was the roof specially waterproofed, but the small house was also divided into three rooms.
Although the two bedrooms could at most fit a bed, it gave people a different kind of peace of mind.
Yashumoto should have specially tidied up, but this house still showed traces of a woman's life. A faint scent of medicinal herbs permeated the house, even faintly covering the plum blossom scent of the oil-paper umbrella in Bai Luo's hand.
