Chapter 160
Count Ismalia
We were asked to surrender our weapons as soon as we entered the castle.
Toshizou immediately berated them and claimed that this was an outrage. A great insult against guests. But he was just acting.
It was obvious that we would be arrested either way. I would have been very surprised if they didn’t try and take away our weapons.
But we pretended to be indignant so that the count would not suspect anything.
It seemed rather foolish to have to act like this, but foolish acting was often necessary in the world. We both knew this, and so we continued to grumble while handing over our weapons.
In fact, I only used a plain long sword and short sword, so it didn’t matter. But Toshizou used a special katana. It was a Izuminokami Kanesada. Obviously, he could not allow them to take such a treasure. And so he left the sword with Jeanne, and he currently had a different Japanese sword on his belt, which was still rare.
The guard looked at the rare blade, and then was about to take it off to the guard house.
But I stopped him.
