175 5.64 Three Deliveries And Fasuto Japan Has Made A Brutal Killing (2/2)

”The nobles had bought up the whole 29 collections of Karada Soap and even make it as a gift to their friend and families from other smaller towns. I was surprised that the sales based on your products alone surpass last months gross sales figure! I really want to thank you for making me an agent here.”

”That's very good madame because in the next few weeks we are going to introduce you to 2 new products but before that, do you sell toothbrushes here?”

”Oh, yes we do. This is a boar bristle, it's the cheapest, then next is the horse's hair, slightly expensive and the last one is badger's hair, the top of the line and the most expensive.”

”By the way, what do you brush them with?”

”Just water, Young Master. Some use the ashes from charcoal while others from ashes of coconut husks. Why do you ask? You would be selling brushes next? Or another line of product that you had mentioned earlier?

”Something like that, madame. Something like that. It's going to be exquisite in a porcelain kind of covered container. We will come back with the sample soon.”

”Yes, I want to be the first to put it up for sale. Your range of product really surprises me since both of you are men. I never knew men would be interested to make their counterparts prettier. Hahahaha”

The moment she laughed, I can see her blackened teeth and filled with cavity, tartar and all those shit! Or maybe she just had a Cadbury and hadn't looked into the mirror yet! Ewwwww....!!!

We thanked her for the hospitality and we headed next to the Potter. I asked him if they have a container that has a screw-on top? It could be glazed porcelain piece. I looked at the display and found none and I made a drawing of it and he said he had this in his personal collection.

He went to collect it and passed it to me to take a look. Yes! This is what I've been searching for but the contents are pomade to make the hair slick and it's odourless and colourless almost translucent.

The size is just right but could be made 1 inch smaller. The screw-on top would be marked as Fasuto Japan, then the centre is Peppermint and the one below is Hamigachiko. I drew on the top side view of the screwed on top to make it personally belonged to our corporation. The whole product is glazed porcelain and the words would be black stencilling.

I ordered one piece and asked for the quote after it was has been completed. He said the screwed on threading would be difficult to make and we settle for a normal cover. He will give a try to make one first for me and I told him the dryness should be like the ones he made for the clay bottles and the Kaori No Kyandoru beehive-shaped clay bottles.

He will make the piece himself and passed the product to me when it's ready. He thanked us for providing business for him and I told him if the product turns out OK, we would be ordering 10,000 pieces in batches of 1000s.

He promises to give us a good price on it and will get back to us in a few days time. We thanked him and headed back to the house and along the way Hiko-sama asked what was on my mind. I told him I'm going to RnD toothpaste next because we have been brushing without toothpaste since I came here.

Hiko-sama asked what is toothpaste and I explained that it was a mixture of coconut and olive oil, baking soda and peppermint Essense. Properly mixed and then walla...toothpaste is born when we brush our teeth it leaves a very clean feeling in the mouth and also refreshes the mouth for a few hours.

”Wonderful... At least when we speak our breath smells like peppermint! I like the idea very much...! You have so many ideas in improving people's lives.”

”Sensei, can you live with someone whose breath smelled like a dead rat?”

Subconsciously Hiko-sama cupped his hand over his mouth and blew and he didn't feel it smelled like a dead rat at all...!

”I didn't mean you la, Sensei... Ara ma...! Look at the lady just now, looked so pretty and smelled so nice but the moment she opened up he mouth and laughed... Her teeth looked so rotten that if she bites an apple, her teeth would get stuck there...! I'm never going to kiss someone with teeth like that... Hhhuuuuaaaaaaa..... ”

I faked a cry and Hiko-sama looked at me and said, ” Not only you are a Hitokiri armed with a reed pen, but a Hitokiri with a tongue sharper than a katana.”

He looked so serious that we both burst out laughing because I have a way with words that criticises with a gentle tongue but super deadly... Hahaha hahaha

”Hey, kid. I want to ask you something... Before you become Himura Kenshin, are you a woman before? Because your features looked like a girl.”

”Do I? Hmm, I never thought of that. Actually, I am a man in so many bodies never leapt as a woman before. How do you expect a hairy flat chested with hairy armpits be a woman? You just imagine that... Would you want to date that kind of hairy monster? A demon who sees a woman like that also would run away looking for its mummy... Mummy... Mummy, I just saw a more hideous demon than me... Helllpppp....mummy, help...!!!”

I cried in a little scared voice and Hiko-sama can't help but laugh at me and held me in a headlock and rubbed my head with his knuckles. Hahahahaha... I could never imagine a woman like that hairy. Hahahahahaha.

We walked back and sat in the garden wiping away our tears from laughing so hard earlier. It had been some time we had drank yumeshu and when I drank with Hiko-sama, the cooks saw and cab only gasped in surprise because they never expected to see me drink liquor with an adult as they see an adult should set a good example.

We drank a few cups and then walked back to the house to freshen up and the ladies saw that both Hiko-sama and I were not even feeling tipsy after finishing a jar of yumeshu.

+-==The next morning==-+

After ensuring that the goods were properly secured, this time for we had used 7 horse-drawn wagons and Hiko-sama took the reins while wearing a cloak. I was taking the right flank and I said he looked like Assassin Creed with a retractable blade on the arm and hidden and had a short sword and a crossbow.

I told him that this Assassin Creed character has many missions and side missions and one of them was pickpocketing. I said what's the use of pickpocketing if the Assassin Creed do not even need the money except to buy armour upgrades like a new cloak or a new shirt something like that.

I babbled on with Hiko-sama and he listened intently when I sense danger lurking and I can feel an arrow coming towards me from a high angle. In a single motion, I immediately took out my Odachi and swiped it away from danger. ”Archers! 3 o'clock!” I shouted to the men and I squinted at the direction and can only make out the sun that the archers were shielding from.

Damn! Not at times like this! ”TAKE COVER UNDER THE WAGONS!” I shouted an order and I turned back and flanked the hillside. A few arrows flew past but it bounded off the crates as it hit the Refined Iron plates.

”Stupid looters! Normally they would ambush upon returning and not before. No one is stupid enough to Rob a full cargo convoy!” I thought to myself as my horse clambered up the seemingly high incline of the knoll. A head emerged just above the ridge and let an arrow loose from his crossbow!

I saw the arrow in my mind as a white flash and in order not to allow the arrow to hit my mount, I swooped forward, held the horse's neck and swiped at the incoming with my Odachi, the arrow narrowly missing the heart of my mount and me.

To load a crossbow one need to set it vertical on the ground and pulled the drawstring and secured it at the release mechanism of the trigger. I walked slowly and picked a rock and with a burst of energy, I let it fly towards his head when he looked down to pull the drawstring.

”Tooooiinnnggg.....!” the rock was injected with a bit of Kamehameha energy and it struck the man squarely in the head and he fell backwards, unconscious with an enlarge hematoma on it.

I kicked his crossbow down the ridge and saw that he was a lone ranger? Hahaha...Hi Ho Silver, away! If he's a line ranger, then where's Tanto? He's not that Lone Ranger but a ranger who is alone and lonely that he feels that he is so unwanted in this world that he tries to kill people with a convoy full of goods!

I drew his Odachi and threw down the ridge as well. He was wearing a leather studded Punk Band of the 70s kind of outerwear and unprotected hakama. One look I thought he was an extra from the Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves kind of bandit.

By this time Miroku and Kami had dismounted and saw me stripping the guy off for any information and hidden cold weapons. They both saw what I did when I took my Odachi and swiped the 2nd incoming arrow and merely using a rock to take the guy out.

”This guy is clean. Let's tie him up and let him rot in this place. He's alone and I don't think he has a ride with him nearby. Might as well we tie him up for the vultures. As I would like to say, 'Take no prisoners'. He would be another burden for the city to house and feed him in jail for attempted assassination or maybe he taking us as his moving target practice.

I poked at the hematoma with the hilt of my odachi that was slowly enlarging in his head. ”If you can escape from this rope that I just hogtied you, go and tell your friends where you come from and say that 'if you mess with the best, you die like the rest'!”

Next, I did the most unimaginable thing an 11-year-old kid shouldn't do, I stick up his ass with a stick since he had his big ass white butt cheeks for the vultures to Peck later on.

Seeing me do something like that to the poor lone ranger, Miroku and Kami felt sorry for him and laughed their heads off as it echoed all over the ridge. We laughed all the way down the ridge as we took hold of the horses' reins.

The men were at first shocked when I shouted the first warning and took action when the second warning rang out and peeked underneath the wagons as they saw me riding up the bridge with the horse and doing some kind of somersault and walking up ahead.

The next thing they knew, the seniors and their young master were laughing so bad that it could cause corpses to turn in their graves!

Hiko-sama asked what happened and Miroku just jumped to the part that I had hogtied a lone ranger and stripped him half-naked. After that, he said I took a stick and poke up the poor guy's asshole. Hahahahaha.

The moment Hiko-sama heard it, he laughed out loud too and suddenly the tense in the air that was thick that it could be sliced with a butter knife, and loosened up. The ones in the wagon ahead ad behind Hiko-sama heard what happened and they laughed along too.

Kami remarked at what I had said earlier, ”Mess With The Best, Die Like The Rest.” and thought it was so catchy that it will bring fear to the hearts of enemies. And with that long sentenced motto, it would be best etched on a 5-foot katana. The moment the enemies got to read to the motto, it is already too late for them. Zzzuuuppp... Off with their heads!

He laughed to himself and Miroku asked what he was laughing about and asked to share. And when he heard what Kami said, he too broke into laughter. When it was shared among the men, they laughed again and continue to ride towards Shibata.

The horse I was riding turns its head behind and spoke, ”Thanks bro, if you never block that arrow, I'd be horse meat set on the plate already...phew! I owe you my life, broooo...!”

I looked at the horse and said,”Since when can horses speak, eh? You better zip your mouth or you are going to be sold to the zoo!”

Upon reaching Shibata, we performed our tasks as usual first with the cosmetic ladies, then the live demonstration of the STM. After that, we get the sales lady to take the orders from the onlookers who happen to consists of the shipmates, captains, soldiers, musketeers, and people from all walks of life.

Hiko-sama says besides the sales lady and helped her to take the orders as the residents broke into two lines to register their names.

Miroku called a messenger to summon the Blacksmith in the alliance to inform the plates are here. Soon the blacksmiths came and got their stock and looking at the queue, they asked me what they are doing. I said they are here to pledge a sum of money for our worthy cause and I pointed to the STM and said that the bingo machine.

Then blacksmiths collected the plates and paid up. Soon I had nowhere to hold the cash and just dumped it with the managers. I told Hiko-sama to leave the girl alone and he tore the middle part of the sketchpad where the residents were writing their names and he went over to me and I told him that he needs to deposit the cash of 114,000 and keep the 500 for float cash.

Another cash float that totals to around 1,400 gold coins. Not bad kid, not bad...

He quickly counted the bundles and asked Kami along to deposit the cash to the Treasury. They carried the money and Kami said, ”Mess with the best, die like the rest” and they all laughed at him for he seldom shows his humorous side.

We asked the rest of the convoy to be escorted back, in fear of their safety when we returned back to Kitakata and said he doesn't then to ended up like the lone ranger just now.

They asked what happen and Miroku told the story of how they rode to see their young master and by that time, I had already hogtied the ranger and stripped him down. He told them that I had picked a stick and stick it to the guy's ass. He said my actions are more Brutal than a Hitokiri.

The moment the guys heard about me sticking a stick up that guy's asshole, they can't help laughing that I could turn a life-threatening situation to be a big joke to the ranger.

After the Hiko-sama had settled the amount with Kami at the treasury we headed back to Kitakata and were wary on the way back. If let's say we were to be robbed, which was the most unlikely event, all we had was a piece of paper and 500 fold coins.

We returned back safely and the event that happened earlier spread like wildfire first among the workers and then to the outermost District. However, the district after that and the innermost residential district doesn't know about it. Somehow I cannot dismiss the event. Was it coincidental or intentional and I saw that the arrow was aimed at me.

Where's Max? I thought he was supposed to appear in a life-threatening situation like this? Or Mr Director thought that it was not life-threatening at all... Hmmm.
