Just as Kujo Sara was pondering why that person was acting so suspiciously while buying Aki's book, she suddenly noticed a badge on the ground not far away.

She frowned, stepped forward, and picked up the badge.

Ok?

When Kujo Sara saw the design on the badge in her hand, she frowned.

She remembered that the design was the crest of a subordinate family of the Hiiragi clan, which was responsible for the establishment of the government.

Could that person just now be the one who oversees the investigation?

But if he is someone who adheres to the principles, why does he buy books so suspiciously?

That's it.

Since it was the person in charge of the investigation, in order to avoid causing conflict between the two major officials, it was decided not to pursue the matter any further.

Furthermore, the person has already disappeared, making it very difficult to find them now.

After carefully putting away the family crest, she escorted the struggling and noisy Arataki Ichito towards the Tenryo-bōchō (Heavenly Territory Office).

At the entrance of the fireworks shop, Naganohara Yomi-no-miya had prepared snacks and tea. She put the book aside, picked up the letter Fang Qiu had given her, and was about to open it when she saw Araki Ichito appear.

However, just as she was about to get up and run over with the letter, she suddenly discovered that Araki Ichito was tied up with ropes, and Kujo Sara was following behind him.

Seeing this scene.

After thinking it over, Naganohara Yoshimiya decided to hand the letter over to Araki Ichito's younger brother later.

So she sat back down.

Kujo Sara escorted the struggling and shouting Arataki Ichito towards the Tenryo-Hosho.

As they passed by Yaedo, they happened to run into some of Hisaki Shinobu and Araki Ichito's underlings.

They had just finished buying the books when they saw their boss being bound hand and foot by Kujo Sara, walking towards them.

So they rushed over immediately, intending to discuss the matter with Kujo Sara.

However, before they could even speak, they were intimidated by Kujo Sara's cold gaze.

Having intimidated Arataki Ichito's underlings, Kujo Sara looked at Kuki Shinobu and said, "Your boss has been arrested for obstructing my official duties."

"understood."

Hisaki Shinobu nodded, then turned to look at Arataki Ichito, who was still clamoring to duel Kujo Sara. He sighed and instructed, "Boss, try to make as few other mistakes as possible before I have to rescue you."

"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll take my men and leave."

"Kujou Sara said."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the signboard at the entrance of Yaedo.

The signboard displayed the content promoting Fang Qiu's new book.

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day.

It seems I'll have to tie Arataki Ichito back to the Heavenly Territory before I can buy him again.

"Miss Kujo, I saw you queuing in front of Yaedo earlier. Was it to buy Aki's book?"

Noticing Kujo Sara's gaze as she looked at the standee, Hisaki Shinobu asked.

"That's it."

Kujo Sora replied quietly.

Upon hearing Kujo Sara's reply, Kuki Shinobu took out a copy of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" and handed it to Kujo Sara, saying, "We accidentally bought an extra copy. If it's convenient for you, could you please buy it for us? It's fine at the original price."

After taking a deep look at Shinobu Hisaki and then at the long queue in front of Yaedo, Sara Kujo still bought Shinobu Hisaki's book.

After receiving the book, Kujo Sara and the soldiers of the Tenryo magistrate took Arataki Ichito away.

Seeing them walk away, Genta and the others couldn't help but ask, "Sister Shinobu, did you sell your copy of the book to Kujo Sara at the original price so that the nine tengu would release the boss sooner out of consideration for the book?"

"Of course not, Kujo Sara is not that kind of person."

Hisaki Shinobu shook his head and said.

"why?"

Hearing Hisagi Shinobu's answer, the group was somewhat puzzled.

"I just had some acquaintance with her, so I gave it to her."

Hisaki chuckled and said.

"Then, Shinobu-nee, you gave the book to Kujo, what will you do yourself?"

"I can look at the boss's copy, since the boss won't be out until the afternoon anyway."

……

……

……

P.S.: I'm in such a bad state. I don't know if it's because I've been sleeping poorly lately. I just couldn't stay awake any longer, so I started writing as soon as I woke up.

Chapter 317 What kind of assassin carries a book?

"Kujo Tengu, if you've got the guts, release me! Let's have a fair one-on-one sumo match! Right here in Tenryo-no-Gyō, I'll let your men see your pathetic state after you've been defeated."

Heaven commands and obeys.

After being bound hand and foot with ropes and locked in the temporary prison of the Tenryo Magistrate, Arataki Ichito looked outside the iron bars at Kujo Sara, who was sitting in a chair, drinking tea and picking up "Anohana" to read, shouting loudly.

His words were outrageous.

Kujo Sara quietly looked at the book cover.

"The title of this book, 'Anohana, the Flower We Saw That Day,' has a rather elegant feel to it. The young lady of the Kamisato family, who has a penchant for refined tastes, should really enjoy this book."

Kujo Sara nodded.

After glancing at the cover, Kujo Sara opened the book.

Under Fang Qiu's delicate and warm brushstrokes, a summer scene seems to slowly unfold before our eyes.

The noisy chirping of cicadas, the scorching sun, the sweet and icy orange drink, and the boy lying at home reading comics.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it the sweltering heat of midsummer.

The girl's white dress appeared in front of the window as the wind blew.

Just as she was about to continue reading, another commotion broke out.

"Hahahaha, Kujo Tengu, you really are afraid of me! If you hadn't been so unsportsmanlike and ambushed me, would I have lost to you? You can only win by sneak attacking. I'm constantly improving!"

"Hahahaha, you don't even have the courage to speak? Kujo Tengu, you have the guts to arrest people, but you don't have the guts to let me out for a one-on-one fight? Let's have a sumo wrestling match and I'll show you what a 200-pound strongman really is!"

Araki Ichito shouted and laughed loudly.

Kujo Sara would be interrupted every time she read a section, making her reading experience very poor.

"So noisy."

She looked up at Arataki Ichito, who was locked in a temporary iron cell, frowned, closed the book "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day," and stood up.

Upon seeing this, Araki Kazuto burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Kujo Tengu, so you finally want to duel me? Well, at least you're a man."

Upon hearing Arataki Ichito's words, all the soldiers under the command of the Heavenly Territory were taken aback.

Kujo-sama, you don't really want to play sumo wrestling with him, do you?

Just as they were about to speak to him, Kujo Sara looked at the soldiers and said calmly, "I'm leaving for a while. You keep an eye on him. Before Hisaki Shinobu comes to rescue him, none of you are allowed to speak to him, understand?"

"clear."

Although the soldiers did not understand Kujo Sara's intentions, they still obeyed the order.

Then, Kujo Sara left amidst Arataki Ichito's noisy shouting.

After Kujo Sara left, Araki Ichito was somewhat discouraged.

It felt like punching cotton.

feeling bad.

He looked at the others and tried to talk to them, but because of Kujo Sara's orders, the others completely ignored him.

This drove Araki Ichito crazy.

Kujo Sara, on the other hand, left the Tenryo Magistrate's residence and headed towards the Kujo family.

However, when she reached the arched bridge in front of the castle tower, she saw a child dressed in strange clothes, looking like a tanuki, standing at the head of the bridge, holding a hardcover copy of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day," pacing back and forth with a hesitant expression.

There was also an exquisite wooden box at his feet.

Ok?

Kujo Sara frowned and walked over.

What are you doing here?

"Alas!"

Upon hearing Kujo Sara's voice, Hayato, who had been pacing around the bridge with a worried expression, suddenly shuddered.

She turned to look at Kujo Sara, her eyes darting around, and said somewhat flusteredly, "N-nothing... I just... wanted to find a quiet place to read... yes, read."

As she spoke, she also showed off her brand-new deluxe edition of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

"I see."

Kujo Sara glanced at the Wind God's Eye tied to Hayato's thigh, then at the "Anohana" in Hayato's hand, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said.

Although the child looked nervous, she was probably telling the truth.

If they were assassins, why would they be wandering the streets?

Besides, what assassin carries a book?

After glancing at Hayato, Kujo Sara took the book and headed towards the Kujo residence.
