Touching the embarrassing stubble on his chin, the Prime Minister's eyebrows were tightly entangled.

He closed his eyes and remembered yesterday's abdication ceremony, where he and the emperor read the manifesto in the Matsuma Palace.

Five months after the abdication ceremony, the new emperor will be enthroned. The emperor had a good temper, perhaps because he was relaxed after his abdication, and in the face of the fiasco in Iwazen in Fukushima Prefecture, the emperor did not say a word, and fulfilled his responsibilities as a mascot.

In addition to the declaration that has become the emperor, what is more important in the abdication ceremony is the handover of the artifact, the three artifacts as a symbol of power that only the emperor has seen their true faces, the eight-foot Qiongyu, the Yaga Mirror, and the Kusanagi Sword.

The Prime Minister muttered in a low voice, "Kusanagi Sword......"

The most famous sword in the island country is this Kusanagi sword from mythology, but this one can't be the demon sword in the mouth of the sacred tree.

The demon knife mentioned in the mouth of the divine tree, which knife is it.

…………

Taito-ku, Tokyo.

"Demon knife, demon knife."

Kiyomi Shijima stuffed toilet paper in both ears, and seriously flipped through the ancient books about swords at home and each issue of the post-war sword market in the study.

She has a headache to read these ancient manuscripts or something, and the island country has a fake business card in modern times, and the shape and pronunciation are determined.

However, these kana are all modern and unified forms, and they are the standard formed by eliminating many kana systems, just as the national standard pronunciation based on the Tokyo area was established after taking into account the accents in Japan.

In other words, there are many strange-looking kana in manuscripts that were written before the unification of the script, all of which have been discarded, or simply pseudonyms that have been created by a small place itself, and the unpopular kana can only be read with a blind guess.

The only good thing is that there are more Chinese characters in these ancient books, and as an elite, Shijima Kiyomi's Chinese character ability test is absolutely no problem, she feels that she is going to Huaguo next door, and she can survive just by looking at Chinese characters without opening her mouth.

I said that I would like to go to Huaguo to play when I have a long vacation in the future-I am tired of Hao, I seem to be sour to buy it.

"Since it is a demon sword, it should have existed for a long time, or there have been some bloody legends and hoodoos."

Historically, sword control was relatively loose until the end of the Edo period, but due to the long-term samurai law, there may not be many surviving swords in the island country, but the number of swords that are easy to preserve is very large, and the number of ancient swords in front of Edo is one or two hundred thousand that survived during the Edo shogunate period when the Tokugawa was removed.

This is only registered, those as heirlooms are not registered knives I don't know how many, although not every knife is from the hands of a famous artist, has a cultural heritage, but there are definitely a lot of bloody blades.

"Maybe it will also be the famous sword of the Fallen War, how to find this, damn it."

Counting the new knives with names forged during the War of the Fall 200 years ago, the number that needs to be checked is enough to be more than a million.

As a key object of suspicion, the famous demon knife Muramasa series of knives is already being collected, and Muramasa is not a specific knife name, but by

However, in history, Muramasa Dao was only because of the enmity with the Tokugawa family, and if he really said ominous words about killing, Muramasa Dao may only be relatively famous.

This investigation of the demon knife really happened to hit Frost Island Kiyomi's old business, the family has been a kendo teacher for generations, and there is a lot of swordsmanship knowledge, Frost Island Kiyomi didn't tell her father about it, she didn't want her family to be involved in the supernatural.

What's more, if you know the news of the demon knife, according to your father's nature, he will definitely be paranoid about looking for it.

"Sister, what demon knife?"

"Demon Knife, Demon Knife ......"

It's not a way to find it one by one, but it seems to be even more difficult to do otherwise, and you can't wait for the supernatural chaos to make amends as stupidly as before.

Speaking of which, how did you know the news of the birth of the demon sword, isn't there more useful news, who can figure it out in just such a sentence.

"Sister, what demon knife?"

"Sister?"

"Ahh

Finally hearing a voice behind her, Kiyomi Yujima jumped up from her chair in fright, and she turned her head to look over - Taro Shijima was standing behind the chair curiously.

"Taro, it scared me to death." Pulling out the toilet paper from her ear, Kiyomi patted her chest, "Didn't you go to school today?" ”

"It's May Day Golden Week, and I deserve to be the eldest sister, I'm working during May Day Golden Week." The thick-eyed and big-eyed Frost Island Taro looked at the eldest sister with admiration, more than 300 days a year, this is his example of struggle, "Sister, what demon knife have you been talking about just now." ”

Oops, it was heard by Taro.

It's worse than telling Daddy.

"Huh?" Kiyomi tilted her neck, "Is there one?" Brother. ”

She must protect her silly brother, protect!

"I was just looking for some information on famous knives, isn't that something, is the big sword market about to start, and I've also paid a lot of wages recently, let's see if I can buy a good knife."

"Hmm." Taro Frostshima nodded as if he didn't understand, Wait a minute, isn't there still half a year before the Great Sword City starts.

"Don't talk about that." Kiyomi Frostshima closed the book in her hand, "Let's go, let's go to the dojo to learn from each other." ”

"Good!" As soon as he heard the discussion, Taro Shijima nodded energetically.

Fooling fools is the easiest.

"Buzz !!!"

Half of the dojo has not yet been expanded, and the noisy construction sound is extremely harsh.

That is, the surrounding neighbors vaguely know that the current identity of Shijima Kiyomi is not ordinary, even if this voice is annoying and harsh, but everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak like an oppressed old farmer, and only dare to look at the road.

"It's noisy." The toilet paper that Kiyomi Shijima has stuffed in her ears is used for this.

"Now, I'll show you ......"

The knife in Daddy's hand is a real guy, and he is now demonstrating the skill of chopping bamboo mats.

It is said that the woven bamboo mat is close to the human body in hardness, so the dojo of the island country used the bamboo mat as a prop for swordsmanship testing and teaching a long time ago, and as for the authenticity of the legend of this bamboo mat, Shijima Kiyomi does not know the authenticity.

"Dad."

"Dad."

The apprentices in the dojo looked at the door, and when they saw Shijima Kiyomi, these students straightened up one after another, not that they had any thoughts about Shijima Kiyomi, and the people who could go to this expensive (pig-killing) dojo to study had a thin background, and although they valued beauty, they were not yet hungry and thirsty.

After all, under the market of less than 200,000 to be able to play Ivy Actress, the physiological aspect is easy to solve.

What they care about is the legend of Shijima Kiyomi, a kendo genius and former champion of the Jade Dragon Tournament, who became a senior bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department by relying on his magical swordsmanship.

Now, although there is no transcendent sainthood, I may be able to ascend one day.

"Dad, you teach first, and I'll have a discussion with Taro later."
