Kikiyo, who is still at the door, asks Hugo to help the woman.

With a quick movement Hugo pulled the woman and put on a cloth to cover the upper part of her body.

"Miss, go out and come with the young lady at the door."

The woman immediately left out of fear, Hugo went straight against the men.

In front of the door,

"Miss, thank you for helping me."

"Your clothes aren't worth it, come along."

"Well miss."

Kikiyo took the woman into her room,

"Wear this for a while."

The woman was wearing the clothes given by kikiyo,

"What's your name?."

"Miciko miss."

"Oh, drink ."

Kikiyo poured him a cup of warm tea and some snacks.

"Later after Hugo is done with them, I will ask Hugo to accompany you back home."

"I have nowhere to go, miss."

"Hem, don't you have a house."

Miciko just shook her head, though,

"You work into a night blanket, don't you."

"Yes, but I was unlucky today, at first I met a man, he bought one night with me, but when he brought me here, it turned out that there was still another man in the room,that's out of the deal."

"Hem, are you talented at working in a brothel?."

"What does that lady's question mean?."

"I will make a place for you and make you the leader of that brothel as long as you want to be my subordinate."

"Of course I want miss, rather than offering themselves on the street or hiring pimps, they like to underestimate me who does not have shade, can I invite some friends miss."

"Of course I can."

"Thank you so much the lady is willing to accommodate a woman like me."

"I believe in you, never let me down."

"Well miss."

"Hugo."

Hugo who was in front of the door directly into the room kikiyo, he deliberately did not enter into his room because surely young lady needed something.

"I'm miss."

"Tomorrow you accompany Miciko to meet her friends and buy another horse carriage, for them."

"What do they want to do, miss?."

"They will come with us home to my residence in the southern empire."

"Well miss."

"And book a room for miciko to rest."

"But the room is full, miss."

"Hem, then Hugo you sleep alone with miciko."

"Huh,(-_-)."

"Why?."

"But she's not a lady?."

"Then?."

"I'm a normal man."

"Who said you're not normal?."

Crick krik krik

Hugo did not answer again what kikiyo said, he immediately took miciko away to his room.

Inside the room

"Thank you for saving me."

"I'm just following orders, call me Hugo."

"Well, Hugo."

The next day, Hugo slept on the floor while Miciko slept in her soft mattress.

From the side came the noise of some of the inn's servants due to the condition of the damaged room.

"Who did all this" said the butler who was there.

The former fights were still there but their corpses were of course already crushed and fused with dust.

Miciko and Hugo were already preparing to leave the room, kikiyo was the same.

"Hey, miss, weren't you in this room with a man last night."

Miciko was stunned for a moment, but quickly Hugo pulled his slender waist.

"You're wrong, this woman accompanied me here last night not in the next room, did you ask to be beaten for accusing me of nothing."

"Sorry, forgive me sir maybe I saw just a glance."

Miciko was stunned for a moment but she finally realized that they were playing a drama here.

Kikiyo is downstairs for breakfast.

"For the miss."

"Hem."

"We'll probably go right away."

Kikiyo immediately put a bag of gold coins on the table, Hugo took it and left.

While still inside the restaurant located on the lower floor of the inn, kikiyo the arrival of guests was not invited.

"Miss, may I sit at this table."

"Please, all the benches and tables here are not mine."

"Thank you, you're very understanding."

Kikiyo just continued to eat, though,

"Miss, have you seen the news on this town's announcement board."

"Not yet, what news is so important."

"Yes, of course, the western emperor made an order to find a woman wearing a head covering, maybe we can work together."

"Maybe."

"Yes, if you want to follow us to the palace well, it can certainly be possible."

"Oh,, 'Hem all right."

"Please follow me, miss."

Kikiyo followed the man out of the restaurant walking towards a carriage owned by a knight, there were two more people who came along, they sat in front to drive while kikiyo and the man entered the carriage.

"Miss, do you always wear that headgear."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why?."

"Just want to."

This woman spoke very little, thought the young man

"Wouldn't the person wearing the head covering just cover something in a certain part."

"Hehehehe,."kikiyo smiled slightly

"What's so funny, miss?."

"You're a very curious man."

"I'm just wondering if the rumor says that the woman is a beauty like a Goddess but why it must be covered."

"Do you want to see it?."

"Yes of course."

The horse carriage had already crossed the border, the kikiyo inside the carriage was looking to open its head cover,

"What do you think now?."

"I guess it's just a rumor." said the young man with a face stunned at kikiyo.

"Are you not afraid of me?."

"Why should I be afraid of beautiful women, like you, miss."

"Oh, so if I'm beautiful, do you think I'm such a weak woman?."

Suddenly the horse-drawn carriage stopped in the middle of the forest,

"Why stop."

Akh

As the carriage stopped and the man shouted, kikiyo quickly thrust a short sword towards the stomach of the knight.

The man was instantly stunned while holding his stomach, he glared at kikiyo who was looking at him with a flat face.

"You,,,"

The man wanted to strike back but lost quickly, kikiyo had already applied the poison of muscle paralysis on the short sword that had stuck in his stomach.

Now the man's eyes were filled with an overwhelming sense of fear.

"Aren't you afraid of beautiful women."

Kikiyo instantly pulled out her short sword then moved the man's neck to instantly tear his neck almost to pieces as the weapon was extremely sharp.

Kikiyo got off the train, she looked in front, the two men also had the same fate,

"Miss, are you okay."

"You think?."

Hugo only smiled slightly as he scratched his non-itchy head.

"Why are you following me, miciko where?."

"Yes when I wanted to go out of the restaurant with miciko, I felt there was something strange with some people there and it turned out to be true that I followed the lady until here, she said,miciko said she went alone and met again with the lady at home."

"Hem, alright, we just take this horse carriage back to the inn, good enough for us to use, but you clean it first."

"Well miss."
