"Wild Boar Prince, you must form a team with us! What's the fun in catching people? You're like a headless fly, going to every place you think you'll find someone, but always end up finding nothing. That's so embarrassing!"

"It's embarrassing to hide with you guys! I have to be as quiet as a rat crossing the street. I can't move too much, and I can't talk too loudly. All my actions have to be gentle. It's too uncomfortable to be restricted like that."

"Humph~ With the Wild Boar Prince accompanying us, we only need to be a little careful and we can fool you around. We might even be able to see you guys are confused and it won't be like what you said!"

"If we also had a boar prince, your hasty escape would be hilarious. It would be so much fun to watch you panic and lose your way!"

"You can only have fun for a short while when you catch people, unlike us who are hiding and can watch you touch things all the time."

"But as long as the Wild Boar Prince joins us in catching people in the second round, we will always be happy!"

"Don't quarrel..."

Looking at the two small groups in front of him who were arguing fiercely about their affiliation, Kujo Kamajima raised his hand with a wry smile to calm their emotions. His eyes flashed with joy as his pink pig nose trembled with every breath.

He was not ostracized because of his differences from ordinary people. Instead, he was admired by his own small group.

It's all thanks to her!

A few days ago...

“Mmmmm—”

He reached out his hand tremblingly and gently touched the unusual part in the center of his face. The touch of his fingertips felt so real. Kujo Kamji sobbed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then looked up at the dignified lady in front of him.

"Mother, are you really not a pig demon?"

"Kamaji, your father has posted a notice in the Adventurer's Association. Just because ordinary doctors can't help doesn't mean the alchemists who make alchemical potions can't help. Besides, when Yae-miyaji is free, he will come over to check on you. You can recover as much as you can, so wait."

“Mother! Uwaa ...

Intermittent tears formed a line of water. Kujo Kamjira covered his head with both hands and rushed out of the room. Looking at the servants and retainers coming and going, his pace of running couldn't help but speed up a lot.

It was not until he rushed to the most remote place of Tenryo Bugyo Palace and there was no one else in the entire courtyard that Kujo Kamajiro stopped and huddled in the bushes in the corner, crying secretly.

On the other side of the courtyard wall is a busy street filled with all kinds of atmosphere and laughter.

On this side of the wall is a deserted courtyard. Although servants take care of the flowers and plants carefully every day, even the beautiful flowers cannot add any liveliness. It is so quiet that it doesn't seem like a place where people live.

Kujo Kamji looked around in a daze, tears accumulating in his eyes and making it difficult to see clearly, but he felt that this place was extremely beautiful and was especially suitable for him to spend the rest of his life here.

Rarely interact with people, quiet...

"who!"

A scent of cherry blossoms that was somewhat different from ordinary cherry blossoms suddenly approached. Kujo Kamji looked up at the courtyard wall in panic, only to see a little girl sticking her head out. When she saw him, she let out a cute cry.

Kujo Kamajima wanted to escape.

"How amazing! I climbed up here secretly using the method my master taught me. I didn't make any sound. How did you find me?"

"..."

"There are no cherry trees in the yard, but I can smell the scent of cherry blossoms on you..."

"It's even more amazing! There are so many flowers and plants planted in the yard. When I smell them, I can smell so many scents lingering in my nose. I can't tell them apart at all. How did you do it?"

The little girl exclaimed loudly, and her bright admiring gaze temporarily stopped Kujo Kamji from escaping.

He swallowed and whispered, "Actually, it would be nice if I could just tell the scents of the different flowers apart. I was able to do that before my sense of smell became so sharp, but my brother always says that these scents are exactly the same."

"So this is the unparalleled talent that Master Narukami gave you! How amazing!"

The little girl lightly supported herself on the wall with her slender arms and easily jumped onto it. She patted her chest carelessly:

"My name is Yaezakura, you can just call me Sakura. I came to Inazuma Castle this time to give a surprise to the one who can't be named. The one outside who can't jump up is Kamisato Ayato, and she's my first playmate here."

"Kamaji, Kujo Kamajima."

The azure eyes were purer than the sky, more beautiful than the sea, and contained a gaze more lively than the birds on the branches. Kujo Kamjira looked blankly at the snow-white hair behind the girl named Yaesakura in front of him.

This was exactly the same characteristic of the little boy that his father wanted him to notice.

His father wanted him to be the little girl's playmate, so he went to look for her with a purpose, but was attacked by a strange monster and his nose became even stranger.

But when he was crying secretly in the corner, the little girl suddenly rushed in.

"Ying, there was a festival last night. It was a gathering of monsters. I was secretly looking for you."

"Could it be that you have the gift of foresight? Ah~ Lord Narukami is so unfair, he actually gave you so many talents, you are really favored."

"No! That's because my father wanted me to be your playmate. I went there with a purpose, so that must be why I have a pig nose. All of this is mine..."

“So this is the beginning of our fate.”

Blinking her eyes, Yaezakura put her hands on her hips and smirked, "I was crying secretly and wanted to turn over just because I heard someone, Ayato! Did you hear me? You were wrong to stop me before, otherwise I would have lost my second playmate here."

"Now that you have completed the task your father asked you to do, you must stop crying secretly. You must play happily from now on. Otherwise, playing with tears in your eyes cannot be called happy."

"…Sakura, don't you blame me?"

"I should be thanking you. I usually live a lonely life in the wilderness, and the old lady who raised me always teases me. I didn't expect that by simply entering the city this time, I could quickly add two playmates."

Yaezakura put her hands to her mouth and yelled, "Ayato, hurry up and throw the rope over here so we can play together."

"it is good."

Kamisato Ayato looked down at the hemp rope in his hand and felt it was heavy.

Just by standing outside the courtyard wall and listening, one can imagine how bright the smile on Kujo Kamajima's face is right now.

How pitiful!

Unfortunately, I can only apologize to you.

Thinking that his father's career as a minister was always hindered by the other two ministers, Kamisato Ayato, who had a good relationship with his father, decided to contribute his own insignificant strength.

He threw the rope over the wall to help Yaezakura deceive the innocent child.

While Kamisato Ayato and Yaezakura were deceiving Kujo Kamajiro, the two heads of the Society Bugyo and the Tenryo Bugyo also had a rare private meeting.

They raised their glasses, talked happily, told each other their not-so-secret secrets, opened their false hearts, became a pair of temporary close friends, and concluded a mutually beneficial cooperation.

In this cooperation, Tenryo Bugyo will once again gain the favor of the Shogun and obtain a precious favor from the Narugami Taisha Shrine. They only need to make slight concessions where the shrine bugyo requires, and then participate in a scam to deceive the little fox fairy.

This little fox fairy who came from afar thought that he had come to the general through his own efforts.

That's it.

There is basically no cost, because those costs will be rewarded, even the tears of the youngest son because his nose has turned into a pig's nose.

As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it is far from being a cost and should be called an investment.

Kujo Takayuki felt that this was not a price to pay. After all, becoming a playmate of the next fox fairy Gong Si was something that many people dreamed of.

If he was lucky enough to have the child win the love of Yaezakura, then his Kujo family would be able to overwhelm the other two magistrates on their own and become the leader of the shogunate, the first person under the shogun.

"It seems that I need to teach Kamajiro a lesson."
