Editing Cute Kunoichis:Volume1 Chapter3 (section)

===10: Pure and Impure===

It was all over.

But there never had been a sniper and the scene now contained the dismembered corpse of a samurai who had been monstrous but held a legitimate position in the Shogunate. Everything was going to fall apart at this rate. Sugiyado had to do something and fast. Disturbing the investigation from the twins’ side would have to wait.

(They would have suspected something if I disappeared on my own, but with one of those powerful armored samurai dead, they’ll just assume we were up against someone not even I could handle.)

That enemy would have to be someone with enough firepower to obliterate an armored samurai to the point that the cause of death could not be determined. Not even Ouka could manage that.

But there was someone else who was the perfect candidate for that. Someone who everyone would think of and who everyone would accept as the culprit.

While continuing his work on the gas explosion, he manually dialed a number he had erased from his phone.

“John, are you free right now? I’d like to ask you a favor.”

“I can make time for this. I was wondering how long you were going to make me wait before I could repay you for that old debt. Now, what do you need from this bored knight who was given a court rank by our lovely queen?”

“Please. I’m about to set off one hell of an alarm clock, so can you knights take the blame for me? If it’s known the Kingdom did this, they won’t be suspicious when they find one of their armored samurai was blown up.”
