章 53: CHAPTER 53 WANDERER AND HERO
"Fang Li-San?"
As Fang Li stared at the dark red Hayajiro, a voice rang out from behind him.
Fang Li turned towards the sound and saw Yomokawa Ayame walking out of the crowd, looking at Fang Li with a joyful and genuine expression on her face.
"Great, you're back."
Clearly, after Ikoma informed everyone last night that Fang Li had left, Yomokawa Ayame had been worried until now.
The eldest daughter of the Yomokawa family still had a kind heart.
Only Konochi Kurusu, who was by Yomokawa Ayame's side, looked at Fang Li with unfriendly eyes and directly said, "Didn't you already leave? Why did you come back?"
This Samurai with a strong sense of pride still had the same appearance as before, seemingly harboring deep grudges against everyone, and was very unpleasant to be around.
However, Fang Li didn't have the mood to mock Konochi Kurusu now.
"Miss Ayame," Fang Li pointed at the dark red Hayajiro and asked Yomokawa Ayame, "Why is there another Hayajiro here?"
Upon hearing this, Yomokawa Ayame also realized that Fang Li wouldn't know anything about that since he wasn't here.
"Oh, right." Yomokawa Ayame clapped her hands together and said, "Mr. Fang Li, you don't know about this yet."
It seems that something unexpected happened while Fang Li was away.
"Don't you know?" Konochi Kurusu glanced at Fang Li and said, "That is the Hayajiro of the Hunters."
Konochi Kurusu's words made Fang Li silent.
However, while he fell into silence, Fang Li secretly uttered to himself, "Just as I expected."
"————Hunters."
They were an independent force organized to subdue Kabane.
Everyone in this force was a top-notch combatant who had been actively involved in the front lines of fighting against Kabane, achieving numerous victories that were known to all.
It was said that wherever the Hunters went, all Kabane would be swept away, bringing hope to the people of this era.
At least, that was the case in this country.
Therefore, people referred to the leader of this group of Hunters as Liberator.
Although Fang Li had only arrived in this world a few days ago, he was familiar with the existence of the Hunters.
The reason was simple. The leader of the Hunters was the son of the Shogunate's ruling general and his name was Amatori Biba.
He is precisely the Ani-Sama that Mumei had mentioned last night.
In other words, Mumei was also a member of the Hunters.
But why did a Hayajiro of the Hunters appear here?
Fang Li didn't ask this question.
Because, compared to that, there was another question he was more concerned about.
"Miss Ayame," Fang Li looked directly at Yomokawa Ayame and asked with a serious expression on his face, "Where is Mumei?"
"Mumei?" Yomokawa Ayame was momentarily taken aback, completely surprised by Fang Li suddenly asking such a question.
It was Konochi Kurusu who answered Fang Li's question.
"When the Hunters' Hayajiro appeared, that Kabaneri, Mumui happened to return and they met." Konochi Kurusu looked at Fang Li, his expression becoming even more unfriendly as he spoke, "You, did you already know that Mumui was actually a member of the Hunters?"
Konochi Kurusu's words made Fang Li smile bitterly and he replied back, "Rather, I'm surprised that as a member of a well-known Hunter team, you all didn't know that Mumei is a member of the Hunters. That's what surprised me."
Konochi Kurusu was at a loss for words after hearing Fang Li's reply but no one could blame him. No one had expected that the renowned Hunters would have non-human members among them.
"By the way, you still haven't answered my question," Fang Li continued to inquire. "Where is Mumei?"
But Fang Li didn't have time to get an answer to this question because, the next moment, the people gathered in the open space suddenly erupted into cheers.
"The Liberator has returned!"
That sentence caused the entire open space to stir completely.
At this moment, everyone stood up and looked towards the forest in front and burst into cheers one after another.
"Have they returned?" Yomokawa Ayame and Konochi Kurusu also raised their heads to look toward the direction of the forest. Although they were not as enthusiastic as the surrounding crowd, they were immediately drawn to the attention as well.
Only Fang Li stood still, a mysterious gleam passing through his eyes. After a while, he slowly turned around and looked toward the direction where the cheers were gathering.
Then, Fang Li saw it.
In the depths of the forest, a group of Samurais were orderly walking out, gradually approaching this place.
These Samurais were not only fully armed but they also had determined expressions and upright postures. It was evident that they had experienced countless battles and were qualitatively different from ordinary Samurais.
They were the Hunters.
They actively fought on the front lines against Kabane, they were the Warriors celebrated and cheered by the people, known as Hunters, and their leader as the Liberator.
And at the forefront of the Hunters' forces, there were two individuals.
One of them was Mumei.
As for the other person, Fang Li's gaze almost immediately turned toward him.
He was dressed in a jet-black Battle Suit, adorned with a red half-cloak, and had a long sword hanging at his waist. He had long cherry-colored hair and a remarkably handsome appearance.
As the handsome young man led the large group, the cheers of the crowd became even louder.
"Lord Biba!"
"Welcome back!"
"You've worked hard!"
There was no doubt that these were sincere cheers.
Unlike Fang Li, who had been met with disdain and hostility from the Samurais of Aragane Station from the beginning, Amatori Biba was receiving cheers and applause from everyone. He was truly a hero in the truest sense.
In the eyes of others, Amatori Biba was indeed a hero and the son of the ruling general of the shogunate.
The Chief Head of the Hunters and he is known as the Liberator.
He is also a skilled warrior with numerous titles concentrated on his person, making him the center of attention for everyone, fueling the fervor even more.
"I never expected to encounter him in a place like this…"
This time, it truly caught Fang Li by surprise.
As a result, Fang Li's brows deeply furrowed.
At this moment, Mumei, among the Hunters, also noticed Fang Li's presence.
Seeing Fang Li standing in the crowd, Mumei furrowed her brows as well, and then coldly snorted, implying that Fang Li shouldn't go too far.
This young girl was evidently still upset with Fang Li. However, Mumei didn't know that her actions were being observed by Amatori Biba.
Thus, Amatori Biba followed Mumei's gaze and looked over.
On one side was the Wanderer hidden among the crowd.
On the other side was the Hero enjoying the cheers of the masses.
Finally, at this moment, their gazes met.
