Chapter 46: Honesty

However, Niwa Nagahide's face was also quite solemn at this time, and he no longer had a kind and healing smile on his face that seemed to be all-inclusive.

Because of the situation at the scene, although it was clean and not bloody and tragic, it still made her subconsciously think of the ghost-like figure on the battlefield before. If it weren't for the torrential rain and countless Oda Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives to drag that guy, I'm afraid that their monarchs and ministers would have been killed at this moment.

"I've never heard of anyone with such strength, let alone the fact that all the brave and skilled generals of the Imagawa family are no longer here—I suspect that it is likely that they were the ones who blocked our raid before, that, that...... That "man". ”

Niwa Nagahide took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, as if it was a very difficult thing for her to come to such a conclusion.

And Oda Shinna's eyes were instantly much deeper, and she was actually the same, she didn't need any more reason and any sufficient evidence at all, so she intuitively thought of a certain figure.

“……”

“……”

Shibata Katsuya and Maeda Inu Chiyo on the side, although they are the most loyal retainers and generals of the Oda family, but they also do not say a word. They quickly reached a complete consensus on the strength of an enemy who had only appeared in front of them once, and they were not willing to discuss it for half a minute—

As long as you recall the figure of slaughtering a tiger like a dog and killing people like a chicken, that gesture will cause pieces of human heads to fall to the ground and countless pieces of flesh and blood...... It's a nightmare they don't want to face.

Even the most belligerent Shibata Katsuie, no matter how confident he is in his own strength, can't help but question whether he can really survive against that lightning-fast humanoid muscle monster with unheard of strength.

Not to mention that the monster is not only pure strength and speed, but also has mastered the power of lightning and thunder that mortals have palpitations in their hearts. It's just that except for her and the princess, who witnessed the scene that day, no one else seems to want to believe such a ridiculous statement.

Even Niwa Nagahide and Maeda Inu Chiyo are good, but they only believe them on the surface, but in fact, they refuse to accept such nonsense in their hearts.

As I said before, it wasn't a human, it was a ghost.

However, there was one person who was not convinced.

“……”

Oda Shinna watched as the saber Hasebe Kunishige in his hand was taken away, so he had to replace it with an ordinary katana, and Her Royal Highness the princess of Owari suddenly fell silent.

She still can't be sure who the other party is, or what it is, but she is absolutely not convinced.

For a "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" who would later commit atrocities such as burning down Mt. Hiei, burning down temples, killing monks, causing the destruction of countless artifacts and scriptures, and the death of thousands, she was not a person who would fear ghosts and gods from beginning to end, and she would never have been and never would ever be.

In this silence, the atmosphere seemed to be becoming more and more oppressive, and the aura emanating from Oda Shinna's body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

After a short time, two panting heralds ran up the hill and panted to report that several murder scenes had been found at the bottom of the mountain, and that several groups of soldiers had been killed without any signs of battle, and their bodies were already cold.

Such a change was expected, but it also prompted Oda Shinna to make a certain decision.

"The gods and Buddhas are infallible, they have never been opposed to me, and there is nothing wrong with worshipping them...... But——!! ”

She whispered to herself, and then her eyes suddenly burst into a fiery light, which was extremely firm in her faith. There is no longer a shadow of the previous "Owari's fool princess" on her face, and now Oda Shinna is a peerless beautiful girl with cold eyes that make people shudder.

Because she is so beautiful and so majestic, she is especially intimidating.

It's as dazzling as the god of war, Morichiten—someone at the scene couldn't help but sigh.

Just when all the soldiers around her bowed their heads and trembled, the girl walked to the nearest corpse with a sword in her hand, and quietly stared at the head on the ground that seemed to have been killed before she had time to react to what was going on, and did not give birth to fear, surprise, anger and other emotions until she died.

Then she suddenly turned around, but instead of saying the words behind the "but" on the previous sentence, she turned around sharply and narrowed her eyes, and said coldly: "Track immediately, pursue with all your might!" Be sure to behead Imagawa Yoshimoto before she escapes back to Mikawa or joins up with the rest of the Imagawa army! ”

In this heavy and abnormally oppressive atmosphere.

No one dared to raise objections.

……

……

Far away from the bucket narrow mountain, I don't know if it is dozens of miles or hundreds of miles away, a small valley with beautiful mountains and rivers.

"Let's just rest here! I don't know if I've gone the wrong way......"

The sound of the murmuring water is crisp, and a meandering stream flows through the edge of the forest, trickling and crystal clear. Mu Xiu squatted down by the stream, scooped up a handful of water and washed his face, and then suddenly felt refreshed. He shook the droplets of water in his hands, but he didn't rush to stand up, but carefully examined the fish and shrimp in the stream.

But he was soon disappointed, for the little things were too small to be worth his time, and perhaps it would be more reliable to take a little effort to wander around the neighborhood and see if there were any animals at least larger than the hare.

“……”

The lord of the kingdom, who had regained her senses, was now by the stream as if she had drunk too much, her face was ruddy, and her steps were also shaky, which made people worry a little about whether she would fall headlong into the stream.

She forced herself to calm down and pretended to be very natural, but she didn't look at Mu Xiu at all, but there for a while she looked at the sky, the stream for a while, and then became interested in a tree not far away.

She walked here and there, tossing and turning, and after a long while, she took a deep breath several times, but her mind still felt blank, and she didn't know what to say. But when she forced herself to calm down, she found that she had turned around and walked towards the boy.

As a result, two clusters of blush quickly rushed onto her already rosy cheeks.

Damn it! Imagawa Yoshimoto secretly gritted his teeth unwillingly, stabilized his somewhat floating pace slightly, and slowed down his speed. Her mind kept coming back to what had happened not long ago, and it made her feel very unbearable, or rather very humiliating.

But it also made her attitude towards the guy in front of her more complicated, and even she couldn't notice the hidden change.

The lord of the country just felt inexplicably irritable, and there was a faint uneasiness, she walked in front of Mu Xiu and stood still, staring at him with complicated eyes for a while, and then when she saw that the other party was uncomfortable, she suddenly gritted her teeth and felt that she had become dead.

"That-what the hell are you helping me for?!"

Although I know that whether the other party has a plan or not, whether it is a big plan or not, this is definitely not an opportunity to spread it out. After all, now that I am in a weak position, it is best to wait until I return to my position before discussing such a thorny issue in detail, and then everything can be solved.

Or to take a step back, it shouldn't be like she is now, irrationally going straight in, without using any words to turn around. But no matter how excessive and rude the other party's conditions are, you should also bargain calmly and calmly with courtesy, and never lose too much initiative.

However, it was still that sentence, Imagawa Yoshimoto felt that she was suddenly dead, she must find out why the other party treated her like this, whether she was deliberately deceiving her trust, or trying to do something.

"Huh?" Mu Xiu didn't react for a while, he saw the sudden and menacing appearance of the lord of the country, and he was a little confused, but he didn't expect it to be such a problem.

But the black long straight girl was obviously very serious, she stared hard at Mu Xiu's eyes, and repeated it word by word again.

“…… This ......"

Mu Xiu frowned slightly, he hesitated for a moment, feeling that if it seemed to be directly said to reward points and side plots, it would definitely not be a good option, and the "main god" would definitely deduct a penalty point for "leaking information".

But if you directly say that it is to repay the other party's kindness or something, let alone the lord of the country, he won't believe it, even he himself feels that he can't say it. - And looking at the other party's demeanor, this is obviously not a problem that can be easily perfunctory, and now that the tasks have been done to such an extent, he doesn't want to make trouble.

That being the case, then...... What is your most essential thought?

Just thinking about it for a while, he inexplicably saw the sunlight reflected in the stream next to him, and Mu Xiu suddenly realized that he was now in a different world in the timeline of the Warring States Period, and suddenly had a dreamlike feeling-

Or rather, it gave him a strong sense of unreality.

Even if it was obtained after crossing over, counting the seventeen years of chaotic and vague memories, Mu Xiu would probably have spent more than thirty years of his life.

Before this, his life experience can be said to have been as plain as water, uneventful, and ordinary to the point that people feel that they are almost rotten. However, the so-called daily routine that has lasted for a long time will continue forever, and if there are no accidents, it will even continue until the end of his life.

And although it is also like ordinary living people, they generally look forward to it, Mu Xiu has also had great dissatisfaction with reality, life, and daily life - it's a pity that no matter how dissatisfied with life is, ordinary people are not Suzumiya Haruhi.

So he didn't feel that he really had the opportunity to get rid of those ordinary routines and get the opportunity to become abnormal. - until his "visual hallucinations" became more and more serious, and finally led to the occurrence of the phenomenon of traveling through another dimensional time and space, as well as the discovery of the "main god" light ball in the body.

So everything is turned upside down, and the old routine is gone.

However, he is very satisfied with such a change, whether it is in the zombie-infested world of Apocalypse, or in this Warring States era where wars are fought everywhere, and several conflicts of all sizes will break out over breakfast, lunch and dinner, he still thinks so-

It's really funny, I've always longed to get rid of the identity of an ordinary person and the same routine.

And whether it is feeling like he is living in the world of animated comics in the White Emperor Academy, talking and laughing with those plot characters who were once only able to separate the dimensional wall, or now in this Warring States era, facing the war of cold weapons and hot weapons, he feels very interesting.

It's not for anything else, reward points, side plots, enhanced redemptions, etc., are all means rather than ends.

That's right, that's it!

With a gentle exhalation, the boy seemed to come back to his senses and replied without hesitation, "Because I want to." His voice was softer and calmer than ever, and there was an extra honest affirmation.
