Chapter 2: The Sacred Mission

  "Little sister gets married, hurry back to send her off."

  This telegram made Kawachi feel both delighted and worried, he never thought that his first mission would be to return to the Greater Japanese Empire, which he had been away from for a long time. He couldn't express how excited he was. At the same time, what made him feel deeply humiliated was that the captain of the Crow Team, was actually doing the despicable job of escorting comfort women.

  The Crow Corps was entrusted to the Red Crow, and the River Knights set out with the Yellow Crow, Golden Crow, and Wooden Crow. First, they went to Datong Te Gao Ke Hou Ke Chang's place to receive their orders, then took a train to Manzhouli, and finally flew directly to the Tokyo Supreme Command.

  Although the monkey king was eloquent when handing over tasks, saying that the job of "delivering relatives" was magnificent and sacred, Chuan Qi felt that his role as a matchmaker was just a pimp.

  "Chuan Qi, don't underestimate this task." The monkey instructor began to expound on the grand principles, speaking with flying spittle: "From a big perspective, it has great strategic significance for the Japanese army's large-scale attack on Shanxi; from a small perspective, those 'married-off' little sisters are all as beautiful as flowers, brother you can take a look first and even taste the freshness, play with her a few times before throwing her to someone else. Isn't there a Chinese saying that goes 'pull out the basket and fill it up'? Who cares about whose concubine she is? Before being sent to the general's mansion, she is your woman, Chuan Qi."

  He didn't think about these things, and seriously said: "Director, stop teasing me. They say that the Crow Team is a spy among spies, but actually it's just bluffing. Which is like your Special High Course, doing all the legendary work."

  "Whatever, whatever." The monkey instructor waved his hand and said: "This lesson doesn't have your good fortune, although both of us are in the business of coming into contact with women. But there's a world of difference between these women and those women. Kawahime is in contact with angels from the Great Japanese Empire, while I have to deal with a group of devils born and bred in China."

  Chuan Qi Dao: "I'd like to exchange with you, brother, but I don't know if you're willing?"

  "Kaneto's lesson is over," said Kōtei. "You can't just dismiss this lesson, it was personally approved by General Hyakutake Seikō."

  "General Itagaki's orders?" Kawaji couldn't believe his ears and repeated the words again.

  "Think 'Boss' would give 'Old Earth' a free ride? When necessary, the old man still needs to use you. The boss is afraid that his own woman hasn't even entered his arms yet, and she's already been ruined by someone else. So, not using his own people, which means you, Kanzaki-kun, the boss doesn't feel at ease."

  He cursed in his heart, you are really cunning, didn't you just ask me to mess with her a few times?

  The monkey saw the river and rode on it without speaking. Thinking that the other party did not believe him, he said: "Don't believe it? Do you want General Jiang to tell you in person?"

  "Is the general here?" Kawahori was about to utter this extremely shallow remark, and it would be strange if General Okubo's big teeth didn't laugh at him! But the general is not here, so how can he tell himself?

  The monkey saw a flaw on the face of Chuan Qi, and he looked down on this person from the heart. This man liked to show off in front of incompetent people, so he took out the tape recorder he had secretly recorded from the safe and played it for Chuan Qi.

  Kawaji listened and was convinced that it was indeed the voice of the general. But he couldn't believe that the Daidō Tokubetsu Kō could actually eavesdrop on a phone call between a lieutenant general in the Imperial Japanese Army and the Tokyo headquarters, and that the person on the other end of the line was none other than Hirano's close friend, Count Hiranuma Kiichirō?!

  "After playing the recording of the conversation, Kōkei looked at Kawahori and said in an exaggerated tone: 'Kawahori-san, do you know how sacred your mission is?'"

  "Awesome! Awesome!"

  "Alright, let's go. This lesson will see you off for a while."

  "How dare I trouble the great coach! How dare I! How dare I!"

  The monkey patted Kawaji's shoulder and grasped his hand, saying: "We're all children of the great Japanese Empire, brought up on Fuji water and singing 'Sakura' as we leave our homes behind. What's with the formalities?"

  Two people came out of the special high school in Datong with their shoulders and backs together, when a shiny black sedan was already waiting at the door. The little short man wearing a duck tongue cap in the driver's seat lit up a fire.

  "This is my deputy, Inuyasha's younger brother." The monkey boss introduced the little guy who had already started the car, then said: "Inuyasha's older brother, the captain of Datong Mine Guard Squad, Inuyasha Masuko, was killed by the Anti-Japanese Nun Squad at Wutaishan. He has come to avenge his brother. His true identity is the shopkeeper and young assistant of Yue Lai Inn, who played a crucial role in the implementation of the 'Water to Channel Plan' a few days ago and gained the appreciation of the big boss."

  "Long admired, long admired." Kawara immediately stretched out his hand, and Inu's second son also turned around and stretched out his hand. When the two hands clasped together, the opponent's beady little eyes gleamed like a mouse's, making him shiver involuntarily.

  "Goodbye, goodbye!" Inuyama Yoshiko symbolically bid farewell to Kawaki and drove off towards the train station.

  "Hou Ke Chang said: 'Chuan Qi Jun, according to the rules of this class, we should have prepared a thin wine cup for you as a farewell gift. Unfortunately, I was worried that you would miss your train and couldn't fulfill the host's courtesy, sorry about that!'"

  Kaneki said: "Captain, don't be too polite, it will only create distance within our own team."

  "Hou Ke Chang said: 'Chuan Qi Jun is indeed a great cultural man, he has ideas about this course and yet is so polite and courteous. It seems that I still have to play the host.'"

  He Qidao: "Are you saying that we should all go to Manzhouli together and treat our team to a big meal?"

  "Alas, I had wanted to take a trip to Manzhouli for a few days, but the enemy's special agents wouldn't allow it. They even came to the club last night to check on me. I almost got kicked out of the planet."

  Chuan Qi was taken aback: "This Datong is a one mu and three fen land of our commander, who dares to invade?"

  "The Monkey King said: 'Because there are often big fish in the pond of the Datong Club, these people come to fish frequently, adding a lot of trouble to our class.'"

  Chuan Qi knew what the other party meant, so he chimed in: "Once Little Sister gets married and comes over, Brother-in-law will become more disciplined, and Boss will also relax a bit because of this."

  "The one who knows me is Kawaki-kun." The monkey principal, excitedly grasping Kawaki's hand, said: "The reason why I say that Kawaki-kun's actions this time are sacred is because of this."

  Before I knew it, the train station appeared before my eyes. The head of the Monkey Class suggested using a hearty meal to bid farewell to the host, as a gesture of goodwill for the departure of the River Knights.

  "Oh cherry blossoms, oh cherry blossoms,"

  Cherry blossoms in full bloom in March

  Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,

  The brilliant clouds in the clear sky.

  It is not afraid of strong winds blowing,

  It is not afraid of being battered by storms.

  Every year there is wind and rain

  Cherry blossoms will bloom eventually.

  Cherry blossoms will bloom eventually

  Under Mount Fuji

  Under the rich soil mountain.

  Chuanqi hummed a few more lines, and suddenly the hazy figure of Sakura at the mountain pass appeared in his mind. Tears instantly filled his eyes.

  "Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms..." Kawahime burst into loud song, her eyes brimming with tears.

  Bang Bang

  Suddenly two gunshots rang out, and chaos erupted in front of us - something had happened at the train station.
