"Ahhh——!"
"What's wrong? What's happening?"
"Hurry, run! It's the Anti-foreigner Faction people!"
...
Many people around, upon hearing the increasingly loud cries of "Celestial Punishment" and seeing the samurai draw their tachi rushing towards Aoto and his group, screamed and dispersed, fleeing in all directions.
Nearby stall owners also abandoned their vendors, fleeing temporarily for fear of being involved or affected.
——Damn it, they're here again?!
After being stunned for a moment by the sudden cries of "Celestial Punishment," Aoto immediately came back to his senses, gritting his teeth.
A bunch of samurai suddenly appeared, shouting "Celestial Punishment," charging towards them — Aoto instinctively believed this group must be the Radical Anti-foreigner Faction coming to assassinate him again.
Aoto was not one to commonly use foul language.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
