Chapter 53

"Mr. Fangli?"

As Fangli was staring at the dark red Juncheng, a voice sounded.

Fangli looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shikibu Shofu emerging from the crowd, looking at Fangli with a surprised and joyful expression, and smiling sincerely.

"That's great, you're back."

Clearly, after Nishikigai Shinko told everyone that Fangli had left the previous night, Shikibu Shofu had been worried until now.

The eldest daughter of the Shofu family was still as kind-hearted as ever.

Only Kuchiki Raiki, who was standing beside Shikibu Shofu, looked at Fangli with an unfriendly gaze and said bluntly, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

This extremely proud samurai still looked as if he had a deep grudge against everyone, making him very unpopular.

However, Fangli was not in the mood to tease Kuchiki Raiki.

"Miss Shofu," Fangli pointed at the dark red Juncheng and asked Shikibu Shofu, "Why is there another Juncheng here?"

Upon hearing this, Shikibu Shofu also realized it.

"Right," Shikibu Shofu clapped her hands and said, "Mr. Fangli doesn't know about this yet."

It seemed that something unexpected had indeed happened while Fangli was away.

"Didn't you know?" Kuchiki Raiki glanced at Fangli and said, "That's the Juncheng of the Kabaneri Hunters."

Kuchiki Raiki's words made Fangli fall silent.

However, while falling silent, Fangli also inwardly confirmed his suspicions.

——The Kabaneri Hunters.

They were an independent unit organized to subdue the Kabane.

All the members of this unit were top-notch combat experts, frequently active on the front lines against the Kabane, and had achieved many victories, known to everyone.

It was said that wherever the Kabaneri Hunters went, all the Kabane would be swept away, bringing much hope to the people of this era.

At least, that was the case in this country.

Therefore, people called the members of the Kabaneri Hunters liberators.

Although Fangli had only been in this world for a few days, he was well aware of the existence of the Kabaneri Hunters.

The reason was simple.

The leader of the Kabaneri Hunters was the son of the Shogun who ruled the Bakufu.

His name was —— Amabie Mima.

He was the older brother whom Nameless had mentioned before.

In other words, Nameless was also a member of the Kabaneri Hunters.

Why was the Kabaneri Hunters' Juncheng here?

Fangli did not ask this question.

Because, compared to this, Fangli had a more pressing concern.

"Miss Shofu," Fangli looked directly at Shikibu Shofu and asked seriously, "Where is Nameless?"

"Nameless?" Shikibu Shofu was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Fangli to suddenly ask such a question.

It was Kuchiki Raiki who answered Fangli's question.

"When the Kabaneri Hunters' Juncheng appeared, that Kabaneri just happened to return and met them." Kuchiki Raiki looked at Fangli, his expression becoming even more unfriendly, and said, "You, did you know from the beginning that that Kabaneri was actually a member of the Kabaneri Hunters?"

Kuchiki Raiki's words made Fangli laugh bitterly and say, "Rather, as a well-known liberator, you guys didn't know that Nameless was a member of the Kabaneri Hunters, which is what surprises me."

Kuchiki Raiki was momentarily speechless.

But, this was not anyone's fault.

No one had expected that the famous Kabaneri Hunters would have a non-human member.

"By the way, you still haven't answered my question," Fangli continued to press. "Where is Nameless?"

Fangli did not get an answer to this question in time.

Because, in the next second, the people gathered in the open space suddenly cheered.

"The liberators are back!"

One sentence caused the entire open space to erupt in excitement.

At this moment, everyone stood up and looked towards the forest, one after another, cheering.

"Are they back?" Shikibu Shofu and Kuchiki Raiki also looked up, towards the forest, though not as fervent as the surrounding crowd, they were immediately drawn to it.

Only Fangli stood still, a strange light flashing in his eyes, then slowly turned around and looked towards the direction of the cheers.

Then, Fangli saw it.

From the depths of the forest, a group of samurai emerged in an orderly manner, slowly approaching.

These samurai were not only almost all fully armed, but also had determined expressions and upright postures, clearly battle-hardened, and qualitatively different from ordinary samurai.

They were the Kabaneri Hunters.

The warriors who were active on the front lines against the Kabane, regarded as liberators, and celebrated by the people.

At the forefront of the Kabaneri Hunters' unit, there were two people.

One was Nameless.

As for the other person, Fangli's gaze immediately fell on them.

It was a young man wearing a black combat suit, draped in a red half-cape, with a long sword at his waist, long cherry blossom hair, and an extremely handsome face.

Seeing this handsome young man leading the large unit, the cheers from the crowd grew even louder.

"Lord Mima!"

"Welcome back!"

"You have worked hard!"

There was no doubt that these were cheers of goodwill.

Unlike Fangli, who had been met with cold glares and disdain from the samurai of Kinkan Station from the beginning, Amabie Mima was celebrated and cheered by everyone, truly a hero in every sense.

And in the eyes of others, Amabie Mima was indeed a hero.

The son of the Shogun who ruled the Bakufu.

The leader of the Kabaneri Hunters.

The head of the liberators.

A highly skilled warrior.

Too many titles were concentrated on this person, making him the focus of everyone's attention, and the situation only escalated.

"Didn't expect to meet him here..."

This time, it was truly out of Fangli's expectations.

Thus, Fangli's brows deeply furrowed.

At this moment, among the Kabaneri Hunters, Nameless also noticed Fangli's presence.

Seeing Fangli standing in the crowd, Nameless frowned and then coldly snorted, turning her head away.

This girl was clearly still angry with Fangli.

However, Nameless did not realize that her reaction had been seen by Amabie Mima.

Therefore, Amabie Mima followed Nameless's gaze.

On one side was a wanderer hidden in the crowd.

On the other side was a hero enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

Their gazes finally met at this moment.
