Volume 9 Chapter 2 Part 4

「….Your life, I’m taking it! 」

Goemon slashed apart the roof of the saddle and threw a shuriken at Hisahide, and then, using the opening where Hisahide used the smoke pipe in her hands to deflect the shuriken, Goemon charged at her with a dagger in her hands.

The place she aimed could only be one, and that was the neck of Hisahide.

「I can’t let you burn Todai-ji! 」

「It’s useless, child. 」

Goemon suddenly found herself being fixated in the air, unable to get near to Hisahide at all.

「Huh? 」

It’s the puppets. The puppets in the shape of girls were tightly wrapping themselves around Goemon’s body.

The hands of the puppets turned to a weird angle, like the tentacles of a squid, as they snatched away Goemon’s freedom.

The puppets are just dolls and not living things, so they didn’t emit any killing intent, and it’s precisely because of that why Goemon couldn’t detect
