Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 63 - Female Robber
After practicing breathing all night Nagato intended to lay his body for a moment but in the middle room there was a scream of a woman.
"Litha!" nagato muttered as he closed his eyes and heard the scream of a female voice that flashed inside his head the first time was the little girl with him, Litha.
Nagato opened the door of his room and ran towards the middle room where Grandpa Hyogoro broke the hands of two men who looked to be in their thirties.
"Just tell me, who are you?!" Hyogoro's grandfather pointed his sword at the two men.
When the two people were about to speak their tongues immediately broke off, seeing that Rika, Ran, and Rina were screaming hysterically from seeing the horrible sight. Before long the villagers of Ninnku came to the inn to see what really happened.
Rina tries to explain that there are dozens of kidnappers who took Rini, the girl also explained that when the two men who had died on the floor of the inn were intending to do something indecent towards the three of them but Grandpa Hyogoro came and directly beat up the two men.
The village chief explained to Grandpa Hyogoro that during the past two weeks there have been many cases of girl abduction in this village, thus making the villagers restless, he intended to ask for help from the nearest Clan but the person he told always disappeared without a trace.
"How many people have you asked to deliver the letter and the money!" asked Grandpa Hyogoro to the village chief.
"Three people .." replied the village chief with trembling hands.
"Who do you suspect is the mastermind of this kidnapping?!" Grandfather Hyogoro frowned when he saw the reaction of the village chief.
"The person I told you to first deliver help is my own son." The village chief pale his face when he said the truth.
The villagers and the innkeeper who heard the words of the village chief became furious.
"Relax .. Did something happen before your child sent you the letter?!" Grandpa Hyogoro stroked his chin while narrowing his eyes to look at the village chief and himself told the villagers to calm down because many of their daughters had been kidnapped so when they found out that the village chief's son was the son, the villagers intend to judge the village chief who is not good at taking care of his children.
"Since my son's mysterious man became obsessed with becoming an imperial general ... " the village chief explained that every night his son asked for permission to go see the mysterious man and every time he returned home his face was pale all over his body was seen muscles - muscles that look terrible.
Litha approached Nagato, the little girl was already bathing and dressing up but when Nagato explained the situation to the little girl, he was surprised to hear Nagato's words.
"Litha, don't leave the inn." Nagato was about to tell Litha, but the little girl ignored him.
"I've been practicing and I don't want to be protected continuously!" Litha pouted her cheeks and turned her face sideways.
Hyogoro's grandfather held Chibi and told the kitten to smell what was on the two men who had been killed. In addition to having a running speed that is equivalent to a wild tiger, a sweet cat also has a sense of smell that exceeds that of an ordinary dog.
"Litha told the kitten to follow Rini's smell!" Hyogoro's grandfather gives Rini's shirt and kitten to Litha.
Litha obeys Grandpa Hyogoro and tells Chibi to kiss Rini's shirt. After Chibi sniffed, the cute kitten got out of Litha's hand and ran out of the inn.
"We follow." Hyogoro's grandfather invites Litha and Nagato to follow Chibi from behind.
Nagato let out a long sigh while following Chibi with Litha beside him.
Chibi leads them to a forest close to Ninniki Village, where wild trees and plants grow on the ground.
Nagato pondered on the way to the robber's place, for some reason he felt sleepy from not sleeping all night.
Without them knowing, Chibi continued to run leading them until they reached the residence of the robbers who there were seen several small huts and fortresses made of new wood.
According to Grandpa Hyogoro, the group of robbers who kidnapped the village girl is a group that is still amateur because it is visible from the number of robber forces that he detected using Tenkai.
