Chapter 19: Swordsman Village

"The barrier has been lifted and I'm out of death's door," Tahara said.

"Boss, I've got hold of the tape," Misa alerted her boss.

"Master!" Miyaguchi shouted as she came running.

"Master where have you been and, why do your clothes look so dirty like you have been mining," Miyaguchi asked.

"Tsk! It's the flame user girl," Misa said as she looked from a distance.

"I can't capture her because of our plans," she said.

"So that's where you are Misa," Tahara said.

Tahara then used his Swiftness skill and appeared behind Misa.

"It's no use," Tahara said as he held Misa by the neck.

"Tahara, what are you doing?" Juba asked.

"She's a lady, let her go," Miyaguchi said.

Tahara continued to hold Misa's neck until he eventually let her go.

Tahara came close to Misa and whispered to her, "Next time, I'll kill you."

Misa had to flee as she was seen holding her neck in fear.

"That wasn't an F-Rank, that was more like a C or B Rank," she said.

"I must report this to the boss right away," she said.

"Tahara, you made her look scared," Miyaguchi said as she made a funny face.

"My job here is to protect you Miyaguchi," Tahara said.

Miyaguchi sighed as she nodded her head.

Meanwhile...

Misa had arrived at the headquarters.

"Boss, I've got the tape," Misa said as she was finding it hard to breathe.

"Anything special about Tahara," the boss asked.

"Master, I see him be of a higher rank, Rank C perhaps," Misa said.

"If I were to grade him in Jujutsu Kaisen anime, he would have been a special-grade sorcerer," Misa continued.

"So you still have been watching those anime," the Boss asked.

"Anyway, hand me over the tape" the boss inquired.

Misa handed the tape to the boss as he watched the whole scene.

"So he used his hand to defeat the knights and then used his sword to defeat Aldar the black," he said.

"So that's it, Tahara Kado can do things which can blow your minds," the boss said.

"It appears you have tasted the first beaten of Tahara Kado," the boss said as Misa nodded.

"Then it's settled then, we will carry on with our plan," the boss said.

Zoom meeting With all leaders now!

The boss's secretary then connected all the other leaders in Japan with the boss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed how strong Tahara is and therefore there isn't any change of plan," the boss said.

"So sweet!" one guy said.

"We'll carry this operation on the 30th of October at Shizuicheng," the boss alerted them.

"We'll have other guys joining us from across the world," the boss said.

"We'll eliminate all swordsmen and especially Tahara Kado," the boss said.

The boss then canceled the meeting as the TV went off.

"So what do you want us to do with Tahara up to the 28th?" Misa asked.

"We just observe him or rather, we make a deal with one of his friends," he said.

"Samon and Juba don't seem like cooperating with any of us," Misa announced.

"We aren't going to use them," the boss asserted.

"We are going to use his long-time housemate," the boss said.

Meanwhile...

Back to the city

Tahara and his group were walking down the street until Tahara came face to face once again with the head of the swordsmen association, Mr. Chikae Tomomi, and his assistant Mr. Egawa Takenae.

"Oh! So you are he re to Tahara," Chikae asked.

"Tahara, do you know these people?" Miyaguchi asked.

"I know them so there's no need to be afraid," Tahara said.

"More importantly, what are you doing here in Komohoma?" Chikae asked.

"I came to see you two, in private," Tahara said as he stared at them.
