Volume 3 Buddha's Enemy Chapter 152 Fireworks
Bang!
Mamiya took a step back and rushed towards Negishi Nao.
--Oh shit!
While shouting out all the dirty words in Japanese in his mind, Naomasa Negishi quickly threw the cannon in his hand aside and grabbed the cannons that were placed next to his left foot and were all ready to fire.
Even though these cannons were within Negishi Naomasa's reach, Mamiya would no longer give him time to pick up the cannons.
Puff!
Just before Negishi Naomasa's fingers were about to touch the cannons at his feet, the knife in Mamiya's hand pierced Negishi Naomasa's chest and directly hit Negishi Naomasa's vitals.
“Puff…Puff…”
Negishi, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood , raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mamiya, who was watching him die with a cold gaze.
"Where did the bullet I just shot go...?"
Hearing Negishi Naomasa's question, Mamiya spoke to him without hesitation in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Before it hit me, I chopped it into pieces."
“Chop, chop it up…?!” Negishi Naomasa looked at Mamiya with fear in his eyes, “Are you… a… monster…?!”
"Compared to a real monster, I'm still a long way off."
Mamiya seemed to have remembered someone, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
"As long as you know the trajectory of the projectile and move your knife fast enough, you can easily split the projectile."
“Draw the sword… I clearly didn’t hear any sound of the sword being drawn just now… puff… puff…”
Before he could finish his words, a large amount of blood rushed into his mouth and Negishi Naomasa could no longer utter complete words. He could only make some meaningless moans.
Mamiya turned the knife in his hand, freeing Naomasa Negishi's muscles that were clamping his blade due to severe pain, and then slowly pulled the blade out of Naomasa Negishi's body.
Because of Mamiya's action of spinning the knife inside Naomasa Negishi's body, the damage to Naomasa Negishi's body became even greater, and the wound became much larger. More blood began to flow out of Naomasa Negishi's wound.
Having pulled the blade out of Negishi Naomasa's body, Mamiya took two steps back and silently watched Negishi Naomasa fall to the ground and twitch, silently watched Negishi Naomasa slowly lose any sound...
…
…
at the same time--
In a room on the first floor of the Negishi family's headquarters.
"Finally... I found you."
Ogata had a sullen face as he walked towards Ma Lian who was cowering in the corner of the room, while slowly drawing the katana from his waist.
"Ah--!" Looking at Ogata who was walking towards him with a knife in his hand, Ma Lian let out a shrill scream with tears in his eyes.
While searching for Horse-Faced Man in every room, Ogata was still worried that Horse-Faced Man might not be in this house or might have escaped during the chaos.
Ogata didn't expect that he was quite lucky.
I successfully found Horse Face hiding in the corner of a room.
"Hey!" Ogata said to the still trembling Horse Face in a very impatient tone, "Give me back my purse."
After saying that, Ogata stretched out his left hand and waved towards Horse Face.
"Yes, yes! I'll pay it back now! I'll pay it back now!"
Ma Lian hurriedly took out a light blue brocade bag from his arms - it was Ogata's purse.
After Horse-Faced took out Ogata's purse, he threw it towards Ogata hurriedly as if he was throwing a hot fireball.
Ogata steadily caught the coin bag thrown by Ma Lian and weighed it in his hand.
"You guys, you didn't spend my money, did you?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Ma Lian cried, "From yesterday when I took your money till now, I have been keeping it in my pocket and have not had time to spend it! I am telling the truth! I am not lying!"
"…I'll just believe what you say for now."
As Ogata spoke, he stuffed the purse back into his arms, and then—
There was a flash of knife.
Ogata used the "Dragon Tail" and swept it from left to right towards the horse's neck.
Ma Lian looked at the expressionless Ogata in front of him with astonishment, then looked down at the neck from which blood was gushing out.
He raised his hands to try to stop the bleeding, but the blood still flowed out through his fingers.
I wanted to shout something, but all I could say were some meaningless "ho ho" sounds that didn't even form words.
"Should I have said that yesterday?"
While wiping the blood off the blade with a handkerchief he had just picked up, Ogata spoke to Ma Lian, who still had a breath left.
"If you don't pay me back in time, even Amaterasu can't save you."
By the time Ogata put his sword back into the sheath, Ma Lian had already died.
"alright……"
Ogata let out a sigh of relief.
"The money has been recovered. Next... let's go and have a good talk with Mamiya..."
Ogata raised his head and looked at the stairs in the distance.
(Why... do you know my lord's swordsmanship?)
The question that Mamiya had just thrown at him echoed again in Ogata's mind.
It would be absolutely impossible to say that Ogata was not concerned about the question that Mamiya had just raised.
…
…
"Naomasa Negishi has been confirmed to have killed..."
Mamiya looked at the body of Negishi Naomasa in front of him and muttered softly.
"My next mission... there's only one left... huh?"
Mamiya suddenly heard noisy footsteps outside the window.
Have the reinforcements from the Yakuza arrived? With this question in mind, Mamiya slowly walked to an open window not far away.
Looking down, the scene that appeared in front of Mamiya made Mamiya's face involuntarily show surprise.
Outside the Negishi family's headquarters, teams of samurai wearing special black uniforms surrounded the mansion from all directions.
The special black uniforms they were wearing had already exposed their identities - the police officers who had been transformed from fire thieves.
Mamiya also saw two familiar figures among the group of officials - Hasegawa Heizo and Imai Sho.
"How did the officers from the fire thief Kai chase him here..." Mamiya muttered.
After a moment of silence, Mamiya sighed softly.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether he is caught by the fire thief Kai's officers or by the yorikui and koshin of the Tatsuno clan."
After mumbling to himself for a while , Mamiya took out a brown cylindrical object from his arms.
There is a fuse left at the bottom of this cylindrical object.
There happened to be a stove in the room that was specially used for warming oneself. Mamiya walked towards the stove and lit the fuse with the fire in the stove. Then, before the fuse burned out, Mamiya quickly returned to the window and pointed the cylindrical object in his hand towards the sky.
After the fuse burns out——
laugh!
A red "meteor" flew upward from the top of the cylinder, and then bloomed into a gorgeous "flower" in the sky.
