"So, I'm leaving—"

The long sword is too long even if it is carried diagonally behind the back, and the 'famous knife' sent by Masamune Lori straddles the waist diagonally, and crosses the ribs that were specially found to be re-beaten by the craftsman. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the original sword?

Because of the new equipment, it has become a raw material for rib upgrades.

"Well, it's better to fight again, but if I order a good knife, I can't afford to pay for it at that time..."

So, it's just a rib difference anyway, and even if it's going to be used in battle, it's just that it needs to be strengthened with solidity and penetration.

It's not so much a traditional short knife as an armor-piercing cone or something. So the demand for materials is not so high.

――If you only need the tip of the knife, you won't need much money, even if it costs money.

'As a result, I became Zoro'

A veritable three-knife stream, although it just looks.

"Please be careful"

Of course, you can't bring it with you. After all, it's a dangerous mission, and youji himself is worried about accidents.

So in the end, the only one who traveled with me was the one sent by Masamune Lori...

Even a samurai is not a shigaru.

- The task is only to bring the demon to the village where the evil spirits are haunting, and the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers can't help at all.

'To be honest, it hurts feelings, will someone who sends a powerful one die?'

But that's just a complaint.

"Yes, so are you, take good care of yourself these days"

Finally, put on the newly sewn green robe and put on the hat for the journey.

"Yes, I will"

In fact, it is not that the monster did not think of refusing, but that thought only appeared for a moment - after all, in any world where order has not completely collapsed, it is a stupid thing to provoke authority and rules.

-- It's not like in some novels, you can just conquer some people with your own strength, and then easily get appreciated or rise smoothly.

In reality, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended - then you will only end up in a dead end.

No one will give you a chance, and no one will underestimate you.

Pinching an ant to death is not a superfluous thing, but just a very simple thing.

People who are upset by ants usually step on them instead of sparing their lives.

It's the same here.

Although Masamune Lori seems to be smiling and talking, asking him to remove the ghost is also like a joke. But in fact, it is impossible for the yoji to refuse.

After all, the other party is a lord of one side, and if her orders are easily refused, her authority will be undermined. And in order to maintain this authority, it is imperative to continue to maintain absolute dominance within her territory, and to kill those who violate her orders.

One person may not be enough, but there are still ten people, and if ten people are not enough, there are a hundred people, and if they cannot be defeated by force, they will be harassed all the time, and if they are close to be killed, they will shoot arrows from a long distance.

Killed, poisoned, exhausted, starved.

There are many ways to kill a person, and there are even more ways to make a person's life worse than death.

Don't you think that if you have a time to stop, you can fight against an army - then in the future, he may have a little possibility when he grows up, but now? I'm afraid that after killing more than thirty people, he won't even have the strength to get it, right?

After all, knives are not light at all, and human muscles and bones are not fragile at all.

And when it stops, it's more energy-consuming.

What's more, there are gifts.

Gifts similar to those of Yulu, extra thank-you gifts, precious cloth, and famous swords.

In this world where there is no Internet and comics, and the slightly forced monster is crazy, it is comforting to receive these things.

Instead of accepting it, but stupidly rebelling against authority to defend the freedom that has been and has never been there since the beginning?

That's really... I can't comment on it...

-- If anyone does that.

"Okay, I'm leaving"

It's not a memorable turn, but it's just as crisp.

With a wave of his hand with his back to Maiori, Youji began to hurry with the thin and weak Ashigaru.

And this walk... is two days and one night.

-- During the day, they spent time hurrying and climbing mountains and mountains, and at night, they found a random place and lit a fire and slept in the open.

To be honest, the thing itself is quite dangerous. After all, in this day and age, it's not surprising that something happens. But for Youji, it's a different matter - in the past two months, in addition to self-training, Youji's development and mastery of his own special ability 'time stop' has not stopped.

In addition to being able to control time stop autonomously, or slow it down at up to 16 times the speed, he also discovered a new effect that time stop brings to him.

-- That is, you will never be attacked.

It's like knowing the attack in advance on the timeline.,Something so strong that it can't be called a hunch makes Youji always keep inactive vigilance.。 It is not limited to the concept of 'being attacked', but as long as it is a sudden event, or a sudden situation that is not expected by the yogey, then time will suddenly stand still, and then the intense discomfort caused by the stoppage of time will force the yoji to wake up from sleep, or other states.

Sneak attack? For Youji, there is always only a counter-raid.

So, only for youji, sleeping in the wilderness and clothes is as safe as it is during the day.

Or rather, just as unsafe.

So, when he finally arrived at his destination, although Youji just complained a little and felt that he didn't get a good night's sleep on the way, the Ashigaru was really relieved - and then the next moment, he just felt at ease, and was reminded of the purpose of his coming by Youji. The bitter gourd face was revealed again.

"So, a quick fix, where the hell is?"

-- They are not here to travel, but to exorcise ghosts.

"This..."

Slurred, Ashigaru hesitated a little.

Although the Date family's Ashigaru is much stronger than ordinary peasant soldiers, when it comes to being uneducated and less knowledgeable, both are at the same level.

The so-called little wisdom of the peasant, which is not such a thing in this day and age. Even experience cannot be passed on, and where ignorance runs rampant, the so-called peasants are poor creatures who leave the village where they have lived for generations, and will easily die, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the surrounding area.

"If you don't know, ask the village chief."

While sending away the ashigaru, he began to wander around the village. For this small village with not many people, it will not take much work to walk from one end to the other.

'Probably only 100 people?'

I don't know if this number is a lot or too little, in fact, even the small village where he lives doesn't know how many people don't know the monster while thinking casually, while casually looking at the surrounding buildings.

-- They were all shabby-looking and shabby-looking types. However, there is only one difference.

"Huh?"

The different room almost immediately caught the attention of the bogey, and he walked over there. Then, while asking, "Excuse me, is anyone there?" and unceremoniously pushed open the door.

Super rude, super unlikable. The owner of this place, as long as he has a little status, will not have a good impression of such a reckless and impolite monster. It can be said that if it is for the purpose of socializing, the monster at this moment has completely failed, right?

But that's on the premise that there are still people in the room.

"Ahh

The empty courtyard was quite dilapidated. Sui is not called gold and jade on the outside, but the inside is a veritable failure.

The small courtyard, which was still a little stylish, was as chaotic as if it had been blown by a storm, with huge scars everywhere, and cracks in several walls that had been beaten with heavy hammers. In front of him, the Japanese-style house that can be reached through the small courtyard is even more miserable. At a glance, it seems that the demolition brigade has come to visit, but when you swim to the general level, you find that the demolition is wrong...

Well, that's what it feels like.

"This state, what the hell, oh, it's more than that."

Walk into the courtyard and start examining the scars.

Knife marks, as well as marks of huge claw excavations, were everywhere in the small courtyard, and most of them were in the back.

"However, the scars are not deep, and they are all of different shades, so they don't look very strong."

The scene looks quite intense, but actually...

"What a bad ghost"

If it's a battle between humans and ghosts, this scene is more of a play than a battle.

Ghosts play with people, or rather, ghosts play with people.

'I could have taken it out with one blow, but it took so long'

There was only one fatal attack, but that one directly smashed the man who lived here, probably the samurai, to pieces.

And to ask why the monster would know such a thing. The reason is simple.

Because in the small courtyard, not far from the wall, the knife that was broken in two and the blood stains that had attracted a lot of mosquitoes were too obvious.

Not going to check it out, Youji continued to walk towards the half-collapsed Japanese house.

Because there is a time stop, there is no need to worry about encountering emergencies, so even if others don't dare, going deep into that abandoned house is nothing for the monster.

Walking in, I carefully chose the path, and then I went deep into the innermost part.

"That's where the battle began, right?"

Youji soon found the boundary between destruction and intact.

In a Japanese-style room, presumably a living room, or something else, the tatami mats were torn apart.

At the same time, on the other side of that trace, there was also a scabbard.

Bending down, he picked it up, and then remembered the broken knife outside the room.

-- The conclusions reached were as expected.

"The ghost ran into the house and gave the samurai time to draw his sword... Then, playing like a game, he moved the battlefield out of the house, destroying all the way, destroying all the way, and then killing the samurai in the garden."

The results are already obvious.

"Giving it a chance... It's a bad result, but it's a ghost's style, and it's a challenge?"

Unconsciously, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Youji stroked the saber at his waist, and he already had a plan in his heart.

'Maybe, it will work?'

Chapter 12: The Contract between Demons and Humans

"So, let's sort out the information—"

After that, it was already the next day when I decided to take the initiative to look for the ghost instead of being found at the door.

After eating the veritable coarse tea and light meal, Youji took the ashigaru and sat around with the village chief.

"-- Simply put, that ghost is about seven feet tall, and it's swarthy and invulnerable, right?"

Most of the information discussed was collected by Ashigaru.,But the problem is.,Although there are quite a lot of eyewitness testimonies.,But the information is quite exaggerated.,Even if youji carefully sort it out.。・・In the end, it's just a little bit that I find useful and credible.。

Like something that can kill a house with one claw, and it only takes one bite to eat people... Even if that kind of thing can scare the ignorant Ashigaru and themselves half to death, and put it on the side of the monster, it will at most add one more black line to his black line.

- Although his face is now covered in black lines.

"And..."

"No, no, you don't need to describe it, you just need to make sure what I said is correct."

"Uh, yes"

"You guys tried using traps, didn't they? And that guy hit two or three times, but never again?"

"...

Then, combined with the scene seen in the samurai's house, it can basically be determined that the oni is not a beast without intelligence. It's about acting for a purpose and having the ability to learn.

"But didn't speak?"

"Yes"

Then if you don't speak, you may disdain to speak, or you won't say it at all.

'That's not the main focus, though'

Touch your chin. Youji thought of the samurai house again.

'Does not intimidate the villagers'
