(Runa's point of view.)

'It's the ipomoea-scented soldier that reported to Kenshin.' Runa observed. 'What's he doing here? Curious, curious.' "C-Can I... help you...?" She asked.

"I've come here on Hideyoshi-sama's orders." The soldier answered.

"Liar..." Runa immediately said. "I may... be young... but not... stupid..." He may be wearing the Uesugi Army's clothing, and said he's with Hideyoshi, but Runa wasn't buying it.

Runa immediately noticed the crest. "This is the... Toyotomi clan's crest..." She mumbled.

"Hideyoshi-sama is incredibly worried about you and the girl." The soldier said. "He is waiting for you two outside right now."

Runa hummed.

The soldier tensed when the thorns were pointing at his vital spots.

"Okay. Don't exit this room, got it?" Kageie told her.

Runa nodded before gently shutting the door.

With that, they heard Kageie's footsteps walking away.

Runa then removed her thorns before straddling the soldier again. "Close one..." She looked down at the man under her. "You are cute..." She complimented. "And sneaky..." She added with seriousness. "Not part... of Oda Army..."

The mysterious man narrowed his eye slightly at her. 'What is she implying?' He wondered.

Then out of nowhere, Runa pulled his hood down, revealing his face... and wolf ears.

The soldier's eye widened.

"A deal..." Runa told him with sly mixing in her monotone voice. "I come... with willing... No fights... no killing... no massacre... If... and only if... you let me... touch your ears..."
