He just wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, but fell asleep without realizing it.

Makimura had a dream.

He saw the past in his dream.

Various images appeared before Makimura's eyes, and then slowly disappeared.

In the end, only one frame of the picture was fixed in front of Makimura's eyes, and it gradually condensed into a specific and obvious outline.

With just one glance, Makimura recognized the scene in front of him: this was him and his brother Junroku Kunieda, who was struggling to survive in Sanoji Street in Kyoto. He accepted the offer from Kamiyama and became the number one in Kyoto Prefecture.

sky.

He and Shunliu squeezed together in front of a tall mirror in the monastery, and looked at themselves through the mirror, wearing brand new clothes and wearing two sabers on their waists.

With the help of Shenshan, his and Shunliu's household registrations were changed to "Samurai".

Since you are already a samurai, it is natural to have the symbol of a samurai: a sword.

The sabers on his and Shunliu's waists were given to them by Shenshan, which was nicknamed "the gift of taking office".

Both he and Shunliu looked at themselves in the mirror with excitement on their faces.

Their wish for many years - to become samurai - has finally come true.

"Hachi." Junroku suddenly said to Makimura next to him, "We have finally become famous samurai. Our long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. Do you have any goals or things you want to do next?"

Makimura pondered for a moment——

"I am no longer a Yakuza, but a samurai, and the Yuli of Kyoto is an official."

"My next goal...should be to be a good official who lives up to the name of a 'samurai'."

In Makimura's eyes, fighting spirit was high.

"Kamiyama-sama told us that his next goal is to 'clean up' the Yakuza who are entrenched in Kyoto - especially in Sanoji Street."

"So my short-term goal now is to help Lord Kamiyama 'clean up' Kyoto and wipe out all the Yakuza in Kyoto."

"What a coincidence." Shunliu grinned, "The two of us thought of going together."

As if they had agreed in advance, Makimura and Shunliu both raised their heads and looked at the blue sky outside the window on the side.

The two of them are only 17 years old this year.

They are all at an age when they are full of energy and most suitable for making great achievements.

Both Makimura and Junroku were full of longing for the future and full of confidence in themselves at that moment.

I believe that they who have finally fulfilled their wish and become samurai will definitely not live up to the name of "samurai" and become famous samurai in the future.

At this point in the dream, the picture gradually becomes blurry.

Looking at Shunliu's face that he had not seen for a long time, Makimura couldn't help but call Shunliu's name.

However, no matter how loud Makimura shouted, he could not make even a single sound.

The picture is blurred, distorted, reorganized, and combined into a new picture.

The next scene is the same as before, inside the prison.

The appearance of Makimura and Shunroku didn't change much. After all, this was just half a year after they became Yuriki.

Although they had only taken office for only half a year, the two men gradually established a firm foothold in the prison and began to gain the support of some of their subordinates due to their many achievements such as "pacifying the Three Princes Street".

Makimura and Shunliu are currently in the office of Abe Leeri in Dabantou, arguing loudly with Abe Leeri.

"Lord Abe! Why don't you arrest that fellow Sakai Renshiro!" Shunroku roared loudly at Abe, "This bastard tried his knife on someone, and there are both witnesses and physical evidence! Why don't you let us arrest Sakai Renshiro!"

Abe looked unfazed by Junliu's roar.

First he stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears, and then said in a light tone:

"Kunieda-kun, I want to correct the wording you just used - Sakai is not testing people, but filth."

"People are still human, and a lot of filth is a lot of filth - the difference between the two is huge."

"Then, you two 'former Yakuza' have just become warriors not long ago, so you probably don't understand many of the things agreed upon between warriors."

When saying the word "original Yakuza", Abe specially emphasized his tone and used a mocking tone.

"Although two hundred years ago, Duke Ieyasu explicitly prohibited us samurai from testing swords on living people."

"But in the past two hundred years, many samurai have not taken Ieyasu's prohibition seriously."

A ferocious smile appeared on Abe's face.

"There are many samurai who secretly kill people in the middle of the night to test their swords."

"As long as we kill a lot of people and don't make too much noise, we always turn a blind eye."

"What's more - do you know where Sakai Renshiro comes from? It would be too much of a loss to make the Sakai family unhappy over such a trivial matter."

"So by asking you not to arrest Renshiro Sakai, I am protecting you in disguise."
