"If you can do it, then you can try it. Anyway, I wouldn't mind teaching you another lesson, knowing that I never get tired of beating you. ”

Now that Yoshizawa's safety has been determined, Shota has no scruples. Although the wooden knife in his hand was broken, he was still sure of dealing with a few cripples with his bare hands.

"Oh! So sure, what about him? ”

Saying that, Inuzuka laughed and moved out of the way, and a strange guy came out from behind him.

It looks like he is only in his twenties, with Miyamoto Musashi's cupola pigtails on his head and wearing an ancient samurai uniform, the key is that his angry white samurai uniform also has two words written on it with a brush: life and death, two hands retracted from the sleeves and carried in his arms, and three real knives hung from his waist.

"Hey! Are you the little ghost who used Satsuma to show the stream and Iaido? ”

As he spoke, he threw a mask from his arms and threw it in front of Shota, which was the same mask he had worn before.

From the first time I saw him, Shota knew what kind of guy was in front of him, and it was obvious that he was afraid that he would encounter a hard stubble at this moment, so he didn't dare to slack off and slowly retreated and made a defensive posture.

"Why don't you speak, your wooden knife?"

The guy didn't seem to care about the atmosphere of the two sides, and walked over directly on a pair of clogs, standing in front of Shota and staring at him with his head outstretched.

"Broken ...... Broken. ”

In fact, Shota, who had been on alert, saw that he was so close, and he originally wanted to suddenly burst out. But when he saw the scars on his face and chest up close, Shota hesitated.

At this moment, he already knew that he had lost. Not only did he miss the best opportunity to attack, but more importantly, he felt that his thoughts had been understood by the other party.

"Excellent! If you don't act blindly and impulsively, you should also understand what it means to hesitate and lose. ”

The guy didn't feel any surprise, and even gave a positive look at Shota's sudden relaxed posture, which made Inuzuka behind him a little dissatisfied.

"What the hell are you doing with Shiraishi Bird! I asked you to kill someone, not to listen to your preaching, so you should kill him for me quickly. ”

Inuzuka pointed at Shota violently, and Shota and Shiraishi, who were the parties involved, just looked at each other calmly, and neither of them moved.

"Let me ask you again, are you the little ghost who used Satsuma to show the stream and Iaido?"

"Yes."

Shota looked at him without any waves.

"Where's your wooden knife?"

"It's broken."

"Show me the proof."

Shiraishi Bird directly handed him the long knife at his waist.

"A real knife is perfect for killing, then...... Prove it to me. ”

This was Shota's first encounter with a real blade, and its weight was far heavier than expected, causing Shota's hands to sink, and its coldness almost cut through the scabbard to his own skin, giving Shota the illusion of an adrenaline rush.

"What's its name?"

Shota looked at Shiraishi with a solemn gaze.

"Name? You've watched too much anime from shonen magazines, right?,I'm not going to do something boring like naming a sword.,It's just a piece of metal.,Do you think she'll come to you in the form of a beauty at night? ”

Shiraishi looked at Shota with a smile, then walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I was invited by that guy to kill you, and that guy already knew about you, but I saw with my own eyes that he swore in front of that boss that he would take your life......"

"Bastard! White Stone Bird, you dare to betray me. ”

Hearing this, Inuzuka immediately jumped out with his gun in his hand, aiming the muzzle at the two of them, because of the excitement, his hands trembled a little.

"Betrayal? Don't be stupid, I don't owe allegiance to anyone. I'm just engaged in the business of taking money to kill people, and the relationship with your group is just as simple as that, not to mention that we know each other very well. ”

Shiraishi didn't care about the threat in Inuzuka's words, he just continued to speak seductive language to Shota.

"You'd love to save that woman, don't you, but have you ever thought about what if she really fell into the hands of these villains? I know you're still hoping to wait for the police to arrive, but believe I've been in that place for a long time, and I've seen far more darkness than you've ever seen.

Maybe the cop you know is really a good guy, but what about the others? His men, his bosses, and even everyone around him. You know that this woman has a lot of things to see, and once someone says it, she will lose everything, and even live a more miserable life than before.

You...... Are you willing? ”

At this moment, Shiraishi's words were like a key to open the secret door, opening the secret that Shota had been hiding in his heart.

Udo Blade Guard's words, the sword of that sword demon-like man, about himself, about Yoshizawa, Shota hesitated......

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I still plan to make money from this woman, I won't do anything to her, don't worry! I won't say anything, I won't say anything. ”

Inuzuka hurriedly assures him that he wants to stabilize Shota, but some people don't.

"Ah!! None of you will try to take her from me, no one will think about it! ”

Sudo, who had been a passerby for too much time, finally jumped out at this time, holding a short knife from unknown place on Yoshizawa's neck in his hand, and looking at them with a pale and sickly face.

"I don't have anything left, and you still want to snatch Yoshizawa away from me, it's impossible! I tell you it's impossible!

Don't you just covet her beauty, and I'm going to destroy her now so that none of you can get it, so you can see who is really good to you. ”

Saying that, Sudo actually raised his knife and fell on Yoshizawa's face.

"Don't!"

Inuzuka forgot for a moment what the gun in his hand was for, and just shouted at the top of his voice, while Shota's head was blank, looking at the tip of the knife that was about to fall, he rushed up with an arrow and directly pulled out the knife and cut it out of the sheath.

A mist of blood burst out and slammed Yoshizawa's face, and Sudo just raised his empty wrist in confusion and muttered to himself.

"Ahh What about my hands? ”

At this time, the eyes of people from the outside world were already full of horror when they looked at Shota, but Shota looked at the bloodstained blade and fell into a dead silence.

The reflection of the sword body reflected his own demeanor, and the figure of the sword demon immediately appeared in Shota's mind, and it was this expression when he cut off his arm with the sword.

What do you mean? Do warriors who fight demons slowly become demons as well? So who am I? Am I the Sword Demon? Is the Sword Demon me?

Because the previous shadow Shota was a little afraid of kendo, afraid of seeing blood, and even when he was sleeping at night, he would be awakened by that figure, and all the previous anxiety and fear disappeared the moment the sword was unsheathed.

Now he is extremely smooth, and this feeling is simply easier than ever.

Shiraishi, who was watching all this on the side, didn't speak, just looked at him with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and Inuzuka had already noticed that something was wrong, and he pointed the gun in his hand at Shota but this time he was no longer trembling.

"Don't move!"
