As expected, "Cat Monk appeared again and took care of a group of vicious fugitives" and "Cat Monk's companion showed up"—these two pieces of news instantly became hot topics in Edo!
And the latter's popularity was significantly higher than the former.
After all, Cat Monk had always operated alone before this.
This was the first time Cat Monk had a companion by his side.
The Magistrate's Office also paid some attention to this matter, with Hosoi and Atsukawa specially convening a "Three Times" meeting at the South Division, which all officials from the South and North Patrols must attend, discussing in detail about this "mysterious companion of Cat Monk."
Surely none of the officials in "Three Times" expected this... The mysterious companion of Cat Monk they were discussing was sitting right among them, earnestly participating in the discussion.
This meeting was destined to wrap up without any definitive outcome—information was scarce, what could have been concluded?
