Hidden Assassin: Tokyo: Kaoru Tsukiike Author: Sleeping Potatoes


Tokyo in August 2002.

   In the evening, the fire-like sunset dyed the sky on the west side into a brilliant golden color. The wind blew across the woods and hit the woman's delicate face, sending a cool feeling.

  "Has it been...for two years?" With a light sigh, Longtangwei stepped on the cobblestone path. The high-heeled sandals hit the stones rhythmically, making a "pattering" sound.

  's love affair with Tian Yuzheng has basically been exposed. Given her boyfriend's status in Gao Tianyuan and the strength of her own family, no one would dare to point fingers at her in Tian Yu's house, even if she was not a nominal fiancee.

On the other side of the trail, Tianyu’s training hall.

   took off the sandals and placed them in the hallway. Stepping into the training room, I heard a painful cry in my ear. Looking up, a young man holding a bamboo knife held his obviously misplaced arm and staggered off the field, "I admit defeat."

   I counted, the fifth one.

  The chase on the field continues. During the movement, more than 20 Tianyu disciples holding bamboo knives formed an encirclement. With a shout, they all attacked the woman with the face of a porcelain doll in the center.

   is only a moment of stillness, but Longtangwei feels very long.

   The woman in the center suddenly rushed to the rear, and then there was a shrill whistling sound of bamboo knives breaking through the air.

   The young man in the rear bulged a little bit more than his left and right companions when he dashed up. It was actually only a little bit. I don’t know how the woman discovered these differences behind him. Because of this little bit, the left and right companions were too late to rescue —— Raised the bamboo knife hastily, and then was kicked out of the field by a violent spin.

   The two people on the left and right also reacted extremely quickly. Realizing that their companion was attacked, they raised the bamboo knife and slashed towards the center.

   However, the woman gave a hand to the right and took a bamboo knife, but she didn't seem to notice it, and then kicked the man on the left out of the field. Afterwards, his right hand was raised, his arm broke through, and a whip hammer was hit.

   Simple, beautiful, cold, like the sound of a knife breaking through the air.

   For an instant, Longtangwei seemed to see the situation in which the young man suddenly raised his pistol in the deserted gymnasium two years ago.

   five minutes later.

   "Thank you for your advice." Thirty Tianyu disciples bowed, and then watched in awe at the seemingly weak woman who turned and left.

Longtang on the side of    raised his hand, "Kaoru!"

   The woman in the field noticed this and walked over.

   Strength says everything. When the woman came to the training hall more than a year ago, everyone dismissed it. However, the next day's training swept away these contempt.

   I don’t know how a young woman has a strength that is disproportionate to her age. In the beginning, everyone secretly retained their strength. Until the two companions were knocked out of the field, everyone put away their contempt and exerted their full strength.

   The result... is the same as today.

   The woman was very measured when she shot, or hit everyone's wrists, arms, shoulders to dislocation, or an unbearable thump... In short, people can't take them anymore.

  In sharp contrast, why does one's bamboo sword hit the opponent's body without any effect?

   In fact, like everyone else, they accept the tasks of the organization. Although the people above have ordered to take care of her safety, when encountering difficult or even life-threatening tasks, it seems...her output is always the greatest.

  The result of continuous training and continuous acceptance of tasks is-nowadays, the number of disciples who practice with her each time on stage continues to increase.

   training together for a period of time, everyone naturally knows her identity: the eldest daughter of the Yuechi family, the fiancee of Tian Yuzheng, but it is not Tian Yu's girlfriend—the girlfriend is the one next to her.

   For a woman with such an identity, such misfortune, and a beautiful face like an exquisite porcelain doll, naturally many young disciples fall in love with it. But on the one hand, the disparity in strength makes it difficult to produce the courage to come forward, and on the other hand, there are occasionally a few who dare to come forward and send out invitations, but they are also forced back by their cold face and no enthusiasm.

   Then everyone was puzzled: Since she rejects others, why, as Tian Yu’s fiancée, would she get along with Tian Yu’s girlfriend so much?

   Through the woods when they came, Longtang Wei quietly followed behind the young woman for two years. He naturally understood that the silence of the other party was not impolite~ IndoMTL.com~ is just a natural act.

  "Tian Yujun came back from China today, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

   "...um." Taking out the key, a woman named Kaoru Tsukichi opened the door, "Please wait a moment."

   There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, only to turn around in the abnormally tidy bedroom, and then sat down on the sofa that looked a little old.

   There is nothing fancy in the bedroom, only the toy puppets clearly mark that this is a woman’s bedroom.

   There are two huge toy puppets on the small bed. A golden lion dog, leaning against the end of the bed, looked very new. The other panda, placed on the head of the bed, is very old. After washing countless times, the original black fluff has faded to gray, but it is very clean.

   Around the wall, there are also some toy puppets hanging-only after learning about Kaoru's hobbies, I bought some very beautiful and valuable toy puppets for her. However, the very old panda has not been thrown away. Obviously it has a special status: the panda's black plastic eyes fell off when it was cleaned a year ago. Then Wei, who helped clean other toy puppets, saw this woman who never showed a hint of embarrassment. She hugged the panda for a long time with her red eyes, and then found out the needle and thread to sew the eyeballs that had fallen off.

   As for the reason for the special status, she also learned from her boyfriend-probably it was related to the Chinese teenager.

  ……

  ……

  night, it is like moonlight that has washed milk into the room.

  Wearing a nightgown, Kaoru sat beside the bed after bathing, a little confused and at a loss. After a while, he hugged the faded panda to sleep.

   Two drops of crystal tears flowed down the cheeks slowly...
