Chapter 149: Only a Storm Can—

In addition to the characters drawn, the other rewards are also very generous.

[Getting Yen: In short, you can buy half of Tokyo's large assets]

[Obtained items: Various supply items have been omitted; Taro persimmon; Swaddle Jizo*2;Flame-resistant gourd; Prosthetic hand ninja - blow torch; Prosthetic Ninja - Flying Ape's Ninja Axe: Reed Celebrity Move Skill Book. 】

[Obtain the knowledge of the Madman from the world of Bloodborne.] 】

[Obtain an item from the world of Dark Souls: Storm Keeper - Sword.] 】

The so-called pair of swords means two.

It is conceivable that when he first saw the words "Storm Controller", Ichiro was still a little excited, thinking that he was about to have the power to reduce the dimension.

However, as he finished reading the descriptions of the two weapons, a deep uneasiness suddenly welled up in his heart, and his heart rang like a drum beat deep underground.

And that's why he must bring Kurou back this time.

[Storm Controller: Gather the storm and unleash a unleashable slash on monsters that are more than three times their height, and the greater the height difference between them and the enemy, the stronger the slash will be. 】

[Note: This is a weapon entrusted to a friend to use, in order to avoid the worst.] The host itself cannot be used, please send it to your most trusted friend to save, you can bind. 】

Triple the height?

To be honest, among the many ghosts that Stringichiro has encountered, the ghost of Narutsuki before the transformation should be the largest.

But even this ghost is definitely no more than three meters tall.

In addition, one of the strongest windings other than the Ghost King, Black Death Mou, is only relatively top-notch among ordinary people.

It can be seen that these two storm controllers are most likely not used to deal with ghosts, after all, most ghosts are humanoid enemies of about the same size.

But Koichiro firmly believes in one thing -

Such a high level of luck with so many buffs to draw is definitely significant, and it meets his needs.

If you think about it, there are only three things that can be dealt with with by the Storm Keepers.

Sakura Dragon, White Snake and ...... The Ghost of Resentment (Note: The Lion Ape model is less than five meters tall, so it is not counted).

Reminiscent of the backstory of the Storm Stewards -

It is a gift from the giant king Yum to an old friend to prevent himself from being robbed of consciousness by the fire of sinful karma.

In addition to the setting that these two weapons Ichiro himself cannot use......

It's almost certain.

This is supposed to be the insurance for the storm controller to prevent him from becoming a resentful ghost!

To be honest, with the intelligence and long concentration of Koichiro right now, he doesn't think he's at risk of going berserk.

But since he had drawn this thing, he couldn't help but pay attention to the possibility of this kind of thing happening.

But despite this, he still did not hand over the two swords when he parted.

It's not time yet.

……

It was already more than three hours later when we arrived at Hirata Manor.

Because he didn't want to expose the teleportation function of the ghost Buddha for the time being, Koichiro had to take the two of them home by boat.

But fortunately, the improvement of intelligence made Ichiro finally have the ability to appreciate the scenery of mountains and rivers, and the three of them got along quite happily along the way.

This pleasure was not temporarily drawn until entering the interior of the manor.

When entering the mansion street, Jiulang suddenly said curiously, "Sister Shinobi, can you go to the place where you developed the poison and take a look?" ”

These days, Jiurou has learned a lot of medical and pharmacological knowledge in Butterfly House, and a large part of it is to help Butterfly Shinobi, after all, developing poisons is a very hard and boring thing.

However, hearing his proposal, Butterfly Shinobi's originally relaxed and happy smile immediately froze.

"But ......"

Butterfly Shinobu looked embarrassed, "But it's really messy inside." ”

"Wouldn't I just be able to tidy up with you?" Jiulang's eyes lit up, and he tilted his head cutely, "Let's familiarize yourself with the location of the equipment and so on." ”

Butterfly Shinobu almost broke the defense.

Absolutely can't, never let Jiurou see this side of me!

He must not be allowed to see what's inside!

She shouted loudly in her mind as she frantically winked at Ichiro Kan.

Do something! Hurry up and do something to distract Kuro! You should know what's in there, right?

The latter immediately understood.

He had the "privilege" of visiting Butterfly Shinobi's poison refining workshop, which was more of a hell for demons than a laboratory.

Staying in that place every day, even Oribe Masayuki, who accompanied Butterfly Shinobu to study poisons, couldn't stand it a little. He's a ninja who is proficient in torture!

Compared to what Butterfly Shinobu did to those ghosts, what the monks did in the underground temple was simply a daily kindness.

Whenever a new ghost enters Butterfly Shinobi's "research center", she will greet her with a smile and ask, "May I ask this Mr. Oni, how many people have you eaten?" ”

Because she has thin blood around her that is used to anesthetize ghosts, these ghosts will basically tell the truth in a daze.

And according to the replies of these ghosts, the butterfly ninja will classify the test items according to the number of people they eat.

It's hard to go into detail about how she did that, but she can give an example.

Anyone who eats more than 10 people but less than 20 people will have their eyes gouged out and placed in a jar of wisteria flowers that are not strong enough to be toxin, but can hurt them, and these eyeballs will be corroded as they recover, until the ghost gives up resistance.

One can imagine the torture of those who ate more than fifty people.

As such, this place served as both her research room and her execution chamber.

She will judge, punish, and vent on these ghosts based on what they did before they were arrested.

Considering that she had to be killed hundreds of times a day by the fallen queen in taunts every day in the days before, those ghosts were also tortured enough.

No matter how you look at it, this is not the place for Kurou to visit.

Because what is in that room will completely expose the darkest part of this little girl's human nature.

And Butterfly Shinobu is not ready to confess to Kuro.

Naturally, Ichiro understood her concerns, so he interjected: "Jiulang, let's talk about this tomorrow, I still have some serious things to discuss with you." ”

Kuro turned his head and saw that his brother's eyes were not joking, so he nodded politely. No matter what the brother wants to discuss, it is definitely a big deal.

"I see."

"You should go to the main house first to meet Granny Nogami's family, they have been waiting for you for a long time."

Ichiro took out a box of gorgeously packaged sweets (not his own) from the shadow and handed it to Kuro, "Besides, you must miss them too." ”

Jiurou took the gift box in silence, and a trace of complexity and self-reproach welled up on his face.

After the Great Fire of Hirata, he lived with his mother-in-law Nogami, who had lost her husband, in Ashina.

Until one day, the country of Ashina was in a critical situation, and it was to the point of life and death, and Genichiro finally put his mind on Long Yin.

He first sent someone to stun Kuro's ninja, and then seriously injured Nogami Inonosuke who tried to stop him, and brutally abducted Kuro from his mother-in-law, and finally left only a lonely old man ringing a bell in the ruins chanting the name of the young master.

It wasn't until the wolf brought back the bell for Kuro that Nogami's mother-in-law, who had completed her last mission, also died with her son.

"Mother-in-law, she...... Is she still awake? ”

Kurou's eyes didn't glean with tears, but his voice trembled a little.

“…… She's old after all. ”

Ichiro didn't answer directly, but the meaning was obvious.

"I see."

Kuro lowered his head.

"You're more familiar with this place than I am," Ichiro reached out and pressed it on Kuro, "I'll take care of some things and then rush over, you can go around a little more." ”

"After meeting with them, take care of your feelings, and then wait for me at the lotus pond."

It is almost conceivable that when he walks up the bamboo forest slope and sees that familiar scene, Jiurou's most painful memories will also be awakened.

After all, this is where he first tasted "loss".

Parents, siblings, retainers and servants were all wiped out overnight.

Even for the god son of the dragon with the dragon yin, this is an unbearable burden -

This is also one of the reasons why he didn't come back with Butterfly Shinobu last time.

However, because of the Storm Keeper, Koichiro had a hunch that he might not have much time left for himself.

Kuro, who bears his hopes, must also be like a man, or like he once tried to cut off Long Yin, to pick up the burden of Ashina.

It doesn't matter if it makes him feel miserable, because he has to grow.

That's what Ichiro intended.

Hearing this, Jiurou just nodded blankly, and then walked slowly along the road, even forgetting to say goodbye to Butterfly Shinobi.

After he walked away, Butterfly Shinobu asked with some concern, "Why did he ...... all of a sudden?"

"This is where Kuro grew up."

Ichiro interrupted, pinching the bridge of his nose with some guilt, "too...... It was also the place where his adoptive parents were killed. ”

Since Jiurou had already told Butterfly Shinobu about his life experience when he faced the owl before, Genichiro did not hide it.

Butterfly Shinobi's eyes widened suddenly, and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

She still remembers the despair and anger she felt when she returned home with her sister after burying her parents......

The feeling at that time, which continues to this day, gnaws at her heart day and night.

The thought of the pain that Kuro had to endure suddenly became annoyed.

"Why did you force him to come back when you knew he was going to be so uncomfortable?"

The questioned Genichiro raised his head suddenly, and his two pitch-black eyes stared directly into each other's eyes, so frightened that Butterfly took a big step back, and his right hand unconsciously pressed on the small knife on his waist.

Unlike the feeling of being targeted by a ghost, Genichiro's eyes are even more fierce and decisive.

At this time, she suddenly remembered the reminder her sister had given her when she first installed a shinobi hand on Kuichiro.

Ichiro ...... Probably killed a lot of people.

Just as her adrenaline exploded and her limbs began to heat up, she felt that the feeling of sitting on pins and needles subsided automatically.

At a second glance, Genichiro's eyes had lost the cold and cold emotion they had before.

"Don't underestimate Jiurou."

Ichiro said slowly, "He can bear a lot more than you think. ”

Speaking of this, Genichiro turned his head to look at the back that was fading away along the ramp.

The next sentence he didn't say.

"Something you've been trying to do for a thousand years."

"He's done it."

Butterfly Shinobu looked at the pride that gradually rose in his eyes, and had to bury his doubts in his heart for the time being.
