"Uh...... That's it-it's over?! Quietly listening to me read this mother's last letter, Asa scratched her head in surprise, "Lady Sakurayuki didn't mention where that sword pendant came from?!" ”

"No...... I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and I briefly glanced at the letter in my hand again, "Mother didn't say oh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Really...... Target? Are you sure you didn't miss it? ”

"Nonsense!" Dissatisfied with the slap of Asa slammed, "Sister, I'll read it first, and then explain it to you, how could I miss it?!" ”

"But...... But—" Asa was still a little skeptical, "I always felt that Mrs. Sakurayuki's letter was a little unreasonable—it was all written in Oriental script, could it—"

"You want to say, 'Could it be that sister, I don't know Oriental characters completely?!' I smacked him hard again, "Excessive! It's a shame that people didn't treat you as an outsider! I've read it to you so carefully -- my mother told my sister not to tell outsiders! ”

"Yes! Be! Following my words, Asa showed a happy expression, "Ha! I'm not an outsider! ”

- Damn! It's disgusting to be a little nicer to him!

Although it's also someone's fault......

"Now, Asa," I was a little embarrassed to see his happy face, and hurriedly tried to change the subject, "you say that my mother's letter is not very reasonable?" ”

"Yes!"

"What's wrong?"

"Look!" Asa habitually stretched out his hand to point to the letter in my hand, but he didn't know where to point - he must have had a headache with the unintelligible oriental words by now - and finally he gave up and put down his hand, "Remember you just read that Lady Sakurayuki came to us in the West on a mission?" ”

"Really? What's wrong? I wondered, "Didn't my mother say that those tasks had nothing to do with other people?" ”

"I'm not talking about this," Asa said, waving his hand, "- your mother, Lady Sakurayuki, says she has completed her mission- doesn't it take her to the East to reply to the completion of the mission?" Why did you just stay with your father Hierones? ”

"Uh...... This one...... Could it be that it is just a matter of passing on the message? "I guess." Let's say let's put a paper crane with a road rune—"

"Huh?! Let the paper crane fly back to the east to deliver the message?! Asa's eyes widened in disbelief, "How powerful are you Dao Wizards?!" Dao Fu paper crane can fly at sea for several years in a row?! ”

"Ugh! People are just talking......" I muttered in embarrassment.

"But also—" Unexpectedly, Asa changed his mind. "Sakura, what you said is also very reasonable, all you need to do to complete the task is to send a message. It doesn't have to be Mrs. Sakurayuki herself to go back - write a letter, find someone to pass on a message, or something. ”

"Yes!" I nodded approvingly.

"But it's more likely that the mission itself is one-way," Asa continued, "didn't Lady Sakurayuki mention that there would be Easterners?" ”

"She's talking about ...... possible"

"It's all the same!" Asa shrugged his shoulders senselessly, "The point is that the piece of jade with the Roktar family crest that she asked you to hand over to the Orientals is called the Sword Pei?" Is that what Lady Sakurayuki called? ”

"Yes, Sword Pendant." I nodded.

"Oriental jade, the same amulet that Boss White gave to Rusya, is called the Sword Pei - it is engraved with the crest of the Roktar family...... Sakura," said that. Asa looked at me solemnly, "Didn't you think of anything?" ”

So obvious.

How could I not have thought of it?

The jade of the East, the family crest of Lacey, the name is the sword pendant - it should be literally understood as something worn on the sword, right?

The only place where this sword is most likely to appear is the Taoist altar in the secret room of the Lacey family, which Asa and I discovered.

The Dao altar with an empty wooden box and damaged Dao talismans attached to it.

I remember that when we analyzed, the empty wooden box on the altar was originally sealed with the weapon of the ancestor of the Lacey family, and that weapon was probably an unknown Oriental magic sword.

Now the jade in front of me wearing red silk thread is called a sword pendant - was it once tied to that oriental magic sword?

"That's right, it should be." After listening to my answer, Asa nodded and added. "Just what I thought, and...... Sakura, do you remember when the red-eyed man said that he met the leader of the Burial Corps in the ruins of Roktar? ”

I nodded.

"According to the description of the red-eyed guy, the head of the funeral corps, Ashetaro, went to his secret room to look for something, and we were a little strange at the time - we all thought that the Oriental magic sword was taken by Ashetaro, so what did Asshetaro do when he came back? What exactly is there that Asshetaro needs to come back to find in person? Now it seems—" Asa picked up the sword, "maybe Ashetaro is looking for this!" ”

"Looking for this?!" I was stunned

"Yes!" Asa analyzed, "Although I don't know what that Oriental magic sword is, it should be very important, right?" Whether it's for the red-eyed or for the demon Ashetaro - otherwise Asshetaro wouldn't have bothered so much. Instructed the Blood Oblivion Mercenary Group to attack Roktar City, and secretly took the sword away at the same time. But - maybe it's not enough to just take the sword? Or is the sword not working? Or is the sword itself the key to something? Anyway, Aschetaro's purpose was not achieved - that's why he returned to the vault to find what was left behind, but nothing! Asa scoffed slightly. He didn't know that what he was looking for had been taken away by Lady Sakurayuki early in the morning! ”

"Yes! Makes sense! It dawned on me, "People don't think of that!" ”

"Hah! Of course! Asa began to be smug again, "Although I can't compare to the red-eyed one, I'm also very smart!" ”

"Eun! But--isn't that right?! One thing suddenly occurred to me, "If that is the case, isn't the seal on the altar opened by my mother?" How? - Didn't Asshetaro know that someone had come before when he was there to get the Oriental magic sword? ”

"Stupid, huh?!" Asa smiled and tapped my head gently, "Your mother, Lady Sakurayuki, is a sorcerer! Wouldn't it be nice for her to put a Dao talisman seal on her own?! ”

Ha! This one is.

Mother is also a Taoist sorcerer, if she changes the seal of Asshetaro, he will not be able to see it!

"But the headache now is how many secrets there are in this unlucky red-eyed body?!" Speaking of this, Asa sighed heartily, "Now even your mother, Lady Sakurayuki - and the Orientals behind her - are also interested in the Red-Eyed family!" It's getting weirder and weirder--dead-eyed! It's not reassuring to be dead! ”

"Uh......" Although he knew that Asa was complaining unintentionally, he was still not very happy to hear him say that Lacey was there, but- "Yes...... I really didn't expect that my mother was also related to the Roquetar family. Maybe ......"

"Maybe what?" Seeing that I was about to stop talking, Asa asked strangely.

"En......" After a slight hesitation, I finally decided to say it, "Didn't my mother say that this sword pendant is related to my sister's happiness?" Maybe...... Maybe that's really the case. ”

A sword engraved with the crest of the Roktar family, the person I love is Lacey, is it Threstin? Roktar.

The mother said that she did not know how the sword was linked to the fate of other people.

Maybe...... That's why.

"Oh......" I could tell Asana's somewhat stunned tone that he had thought too, "it should—it's not that simple, is it?" Just that connection? After thinking for a while, Asa suddenly had a solemn expression again, "-No, Sakura, it's definitely not that simple. ”

"Huh?! How? ”

"I don't think the meaning of the sword is far from here!" Asa explained, "It should be the crux of your mother's mission - didn't Lady Sakurayuki say that there would be an Oriental to take this sword?" ”

"It's just possible!"

"It's the same! - This is what Asshetaro is looking for...... Maybe...... Maybe! Asa suddenly hesitated uncertainly, "Maybe this sword has something to do with Red-Eye's death!" ”

"Huh?!" I was shocked, "How?!" ”

"You want to! - If Ashertaro had successfully taken the sword and sword, wouldn't their demon goal be achieved? - They were going to kill the red-eyed one in the first place! And, and if my master, the old fellow of St. Vorff, hadn't arrived, the red-eyed would have died on the night of the attack on Roktar! - Right? ”

"Go on!"

"Then, Ashetaro's goal was not achieved, and the red-eyed one did not die, so the demons set the goal of finding the sword pendant on the red-eyed body - after all, this sword pendant is a thing of the red-eyed family, if there is any clue, the red-eyed will definitely know, right?!"

"Alright! Say it soon! Asa's analysis seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth of the incident, so I urged urgently, "Stop asking!" Hurry up! ”

"Uh...... Good! Asa laughed and stuck out his tongue, "So then Ashetarus went to ask the Red-Eyed for help for three months, maybe these three months were for the Red-Eyed to help them find the missing sword on the altar - and then ...... Then ......" At this point, Asa suddenly hesitated.

"And then?" I didn't know what Asa was hesitating, but I asked anxiously.

"Uh......" Asa gave me a careful look, and continued, "I think it's likely that the Masked Man assassinated Redeye to stop him from looking for the sword......"

"Huh?! What do you mean—" Following Asa's train of thought, I couldn't help but think of an unbelievable result, don't you?

"Yes, it seems that you have thought of it, and you should have thought of it! ――Those masked people have something to do with Sakura's mother! Asa looked at me in shock, and seemed to be surprised by the results of his own analysis, "Sakura, this will explain why those masked people are not killing you, but are still protecting you!" It also explains why the disaster feared by the Non-God Association is related to the Red Eye! Perhaps, when the sword and the sword are worn together, there will be great power, and once this power is mastered by the demons - it will definitely be a disaster for mankind! (To be continued)
