At night, Kyoto is full of undercurrents, but the flower streets are still bustling.

The flower street here is not a place to sell flowers, well, it seems that there are quite a few Kabuki who sell flowers here.

Outside the flower street, the wind is gusting, and murders are frequent; Singing and dancing in the flower street, indulging in joy.

It can only be said that no matter how chaotic this world is, people's ** is eternal.

In a tavern at the end of Flower Street, a man with a domineering hairstyle, a golden hair color and a black hair, a perfect body, and a handsome and handsome face sat on the main seat.

On the wine table, there are strange-shaped beings wandering around.

As she drank, a beautiful woman with a cold face and a pure white kimono walked in, kneeling beside the main seat and whispering.

"Oh? Half-demon swordsmith? ”

"Yes, Admiral, according to the information gathered by the Intelligence Group, this one has arrived in Kyoto.

The sword he forged was so powerful that it is said that he also came to forge a sword from that set of bones.

And you are missing a good knife. ”

"Hmm...... Hawkers~ If you run into him, ask him for it, and by the way, see if you can accept him into the group.

If you can't touch it, it's no fate, and I don't force it, it's just a foreign object.

Alright, little ones, let's go hunting youkai. ”

"Oh!!"

……

"Aya-sama, this is your room, if you need anything, please shake this bell."

"Thank you."

Unexpectedly, after reading the introduction post, the Huakaiyuan family welcomed him into the door like this, and prepared dinner and hot water for him.

He thought he would have a chance to pretend to be slapped in the face.

The next day, he got up early in the morning and came to the door of the forging room prepared for him in the Flower Blossom Temple.

Yesterday, when he visited Hua Kaiyuan's house, he was greeted by a bald head.

……

"Master Swordsmith, below is the deputy head of the Flower Blossom Courtyard family, and the Flower Blossom Courtyard is the light."

"Sure enough......"

"Huh?"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect it to be the deputy head of the family who received it in person, and I was a little surprised."

The death of the Flower Blossom Courtyard, what an auspicious name, and only Xiuyuan of the entire Flower Blossom Courtyard family was not killed by him, tsk......

"Swordsmith-sama is too modest, your reputation has already spread throughout Kyoto, and your battle with the lord of Arakawa in Kai has already been scripted."

"Huh? Is it? ”

The people of Pingya were suddenly ashamed.

Because he stumbled upon the corpse of a monster that could replace a lot of extraordinary materials, he killed the demon when he saw it, how did he know that the big fish demon at the level of the Jindan stage of eating people was the lord of the barren river.

Shouldn't he be a mature and handsome uncle?

And because this big fish demon resisted the burning of the Pure Spirit Fire after his death, he was a little hungry after exercising, so, well......

It's delicious.

This has also led to his name being widely spread, and sometimes you can even see a puppet show about this when you pass by a small town, but I didn't expect it to be directly changed into a stage play now.

"Ahem, this is just a name, don't mention it.

I think you're older than me, so please call me Aya. ”

"Lord Aya is really kind, then I'm not welcome, please call me by my real name."

Pingyaren took a sip of tea.

"That's Lord Guang, what are you personally hosting here for?

Don't say anything about admiring me, I'm just a loner. ”

"Hehe, Lord Aya is really fast-talking......"

The flowers bloomed in the eyes of the light became serious.

"My Huakaiyuan clan wants to hire Aya as a guest of my Huakaiyuan family, I wonder if you are willing to appreciate your face?"

Gently lower the teacup.

"It's Lord Hikari, I've killed a lot of nobles."

"Please don't misunderstand, Lord Aya, I don't mean to imprison you, I just want to learn your sword-casting skills."

"Oh?"

It's worth a look at him.

"Is it Mikatsu-sama, can you think about it?"

"Yes, we've figured it out."

“…… My casting technique is a natural enemy for youkai, and the Hanakaiin clan may be able to use it to become stronger, but it will definitely become the target of public criticism. ”

"Lord Aya, my Huakaiyuan clan has always been based on demon extermination......

"Then what do you think of me, a half-demon?"

Pingyaren directly interrupted the other party's words.

"Well, I think Aya-sama is a good person, and the people and demons you killed are all evil ones, and you didn't kill them wrong."

"Then I'll ask Hikarat-sama next, what do you think of the Nura gumi who came from Edo?"

"This ......"

The bald head hesitated a little, although the Nuliang Group was not a kind of indiscriminate murderer, and there were no rumors of cannibalism, but ......

"Although it is a monster, it can set order for this demonic Kyoto, and it is naturally a good demon."

A figure suddenly appeared at the door, and the wide white hunting clothes could not stop his extravagance.

The melon seed face and red phoenix eyes don't look good, but there is a kind of bewitching beauty of freedom, giving people a feeling of indistinguishability between male and female.

Pingyaren was not surprised by this sudden appearance, he had already discovered the other party's aura.

"Yes, good demon, but the skills in my hands are not good or evil."

"I see, little Aya is really a kind child."

"Uh......"

"Lord Aya, don't blame, this is the quirk of the younger brother, his name is Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan, and he is the thirteenth head of the family."

Ping Yaren nodded and said that he knew, in fact, he knew that it must be Xiuyuan (Ji) when he looked at his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, since you can understand the concerns......"

"In the name of the head of the Hanakaiin family, I wrote 'those who are evil, even humans, will be severely punished, and those who are good, even monsters, are worthy of protection' into the family rules of the Hanakaiin family, how about it?"

Ouch, play so big?

You must know that no matter what time it is, humans don't have a good impression of youkai, and saying this is tantamount to separating yourself from the mainstream will of Toei Shinto.

Drink the tea in one gulp.

He's just too lazy to teach, and making such a high-profile situation makes him unable to get off the stage.

With a roll of his eyes, he smiled.

"In that case, let's discuss the reward, shall we?"

"Huh?"

Hanakaiin Hideyoshi suddenly laughed, he liked to bargain the most.

"What does little Aya want?"

"Hmm...... There is no need for money, after all, people who come to study will definitely pay tuition~"

Hua Kaiyuan is bare brows frowned.

"Forget about treasures and stuff, I'm not interested."

He can't look down on the treasures of this era, and it's not as good as the materials on the big monsters.

"Then little Aya wants?"

"Knowledge is inheritance."

Bang!

"Swordsmith, you're a bit arrogant!"

"It's Brother Guang, don't be impatient, people want to teach us the skills of a body."

"But ......"

"Okay, people don't want us to inherit the flower courtyard family."

"That's natural, and the knife casting skills below are not as good as the many yin and yang techniques of the Hua Kai Yuan family."

"Look, in that case, I have a copy of "Big Dipper Star Solution" here, do you want to take a look at it?"

Well? The name......

Taking over this book of silk with ancient charm, Pingyaren quickly flipped through it, and then closed it with a snap.

"I heard that the Huakai Yuan family was inherited from Master Daoman, but I don't know this ......"

"Shh~"

"Okay, then the rest ......"

"When Little Aya teaches results, I will naturally give it to you."

"It's a deal!"

"A word is a certainty~"

……

Call~

Pulling his thoughts out of his memory, Pingyaren motioned for the doorman to open the wooden door.

A young onmyoji dressed in a hunting suit knelt in this transformed forging room under the leadership of several middle-aged people.
