Chapter 48 07(1/2)
"What?! Honmaru's new judge is not the master!"
At an impromptu meeting that included three fusangshin, a shikigami and a human girl, I heard what Tsurumaru Kunaga said about the judge after Honmaru. There is another person who has recognized the new one.
For Hasebe, the news was nothing short of shocking and tragic news.
Looking at Hasebe, holding his head and looking collapsed, Rai hid again in Ikki Issei's direction. As for why it was Issei, it was because he was the only one present who had the ability to make Kikiri
Hasebe stopped at the general majesty in front of him.
Tsurumaru Kuni never thought about it. He seemed to have reached a common channel with Ogiri Hasebe on some strange channel. The two people's eyes met passionately, and they looked like some kind of poisonous Wei meeting offline for passers-by to see.
They all subconsciously want to avoid them.
——Both of them are people that Rai doesn’t want to get close to for the time being.
As for Tsukoku Enichi, this person didn't seem to understand the situation, and actually told her, "I can see that he really wants to be your retainer, isn't it great? Rai is indeed a person worth following."
The pressure-sensitive Hasebe nodded crazily beside him and gave a thumbs up.
Don’t just let it develop just because the other party has no hostility towards me. Sometimes the enemy is not judged purely by evil thoughts - Rai roared in his heart.
In contrast, the strangest issue turned out to be Ley's only safe haven at this time.
"Sorry, Hasebe didn't mean any harm."
The first issue touched Rai's head. After hearing what Tsurumaru Kuninaga had just told Rai, he knew that his spell power had a bad influence on Honmaru and that he would not become a judge.
The grudge against her disappeared in Yi Zhen's heart, and the complicated situation became simpler. Yi Zhen could unreservedly regard Rai as his lifesaver and take care of her with gratitude.
Now, like a little kitten, Rai ran to him in fear to seek shelter. Facing the big dog who tried to test the little jiojio, she was full of vigilance but without any attack power.
If you take another step forward to press and cut Hasebe, the cat hair all over the kitten will explode in an instant. It is indeed like what Tsurumaru Kunaga said... it's a bit cute. This will not force Hasebe to retreat at all.
This ridiculous scene made Yi Qi Yi Zheng's heavy heart feel much lighter. He also joked with the little girl, "I can feel that Hasebe likes you very much, so I used the wrong way to anxiously want you."
When he is close to you, although his stern face looks scary, he is usually very talkative and takes good care of the daggers."... As long as it doesn't involve the Judge of God and his former master.
"But I..."
Ley hesitated to speak.
"Do you hate him? Rai."
Rai was thinking about the question, but she didn't realize the change in the other person's tone when he called her name. It was less strange and more intimate.
After she thought about it, she whispered to him at a volume that could only be heard by Yi Qi Yizheng, "It's not annoying."
It’s not that annoying. A loyal dog like Hasebe should be a favorite subordinate of the head of a big family. But for Rai, it’s really troublesome to get along with such a person... It’s different from facing a strong enemy.
Trouble that cannot be solved.
Because you know that the other person has no intention of hurting you, and even he admires you and likes you. Before the bottom line of principle is not touched, such a person cannot be rejected in a forceful and hurtful way.
...So Rai chose to hide.
"Good boy."
Yi Qi Yi Zhen smiled.
"So... after the new judge comes, will my spiritual power that belongs to the master be taken back?"
Hasebe's mood continued to be depressed, "If this is the case - I would rather continue to sleep for a long time without waking up."
"It's not that exaggerated, Hasebe."
Tsurumaru Kunaga patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I have met the new judge. He is the descendant left behind by the master when he was still alive. He is a good man with the same righteousness, kindness and justice. He and Rai are also the same."
Friend, I think you might as well try to get along with him."
A Honmaru cannot be left without an owner for a day. Now there is a way to bring back the Swordsman Gods of this Honmaru one after another. If they want the Honmaru to continue to exist reasonably in the eyes of the government of the time, they must first find it.
The master who can lead this honmaru.
It is impossible to hide the identity of Rai's spellcaster from the government of the time. With a criminal record, the government of the day will probably not recruit anyone with a magical physique anymore, so even if Rai himself becomes
Regardless of the will of the judge, the government of Toki, which is afraid of trouble, will not open a back door for her because of her achievements in saving the Dark Honmaru.
——Even though he felt reluctant to give up, after Foxanosuke told him about this, Tsurumaru Kuninaga no longer had the idea of retaining Rai.
"But there's still something I don't understand."
Even though this arrangement was reasonable, Hasebe was still unwilling to accept it. He confided his doubts to Rai, "Master, don't you have what you want? You work so hard to fight against the Dark Honmaru and the powerful curse.
Fight spiritually, and in the end you are willing to spend so much time and spiritual power repairing the sword - why are you doing this?"
"We are not related to you. It's hard for me to imagine how a person can be willing to sacrifice to such an extent for someone who has nothing to do with him without any regrets or asking for anything in return, unless - we also have what you want.
Something that can give you something in return.”
After listening to the other party's words, Rai's expression gradually became serious. He no longer hid behind Yi Qi's shocked body, and knelt down on the cushion with his back straight, facing Hasebe directly, giving the other party the greatest respect.
"Loyalty, surrender, faith... let us, the fusang gods born on the battlefield, become the strongest blades in your hands."
Hasebe said with difficulty, "Apart from these, I can't imagine that our existence has any other benefits to you."
"Hasebe!"
Tsurumaru Kunaga couldn't help it at first. He scolded him angrily, "Lei definitely didn't want to take advantage of us. What's the difference between your statement and the man who cursed the swords into cursed spirits? Don't put it like that."
That scumbag is compared to Rai!"
"Tsurumaru, please calm down..."
Bai Fusangshen was so angry that he was about to punch Hasebe in the face in the next second. Ichiki Izuku had to step in to stop him, "Hasebe, he just needs an answer."
In the first issue, he understood that for Hasebe, this was not just a problem left by the Dark Honmaru, but a historical memory deeply imprinted in his heart that he did not want to look back on.
That man named Oda Nobunaga is still a hurdle that Hasebe cannot get out of.
"Please forgive my gaffe..."
Nakiri Hasebe kowtowed to Rai, but did not show any intention of retreating. He still insisted, "Although such an idea is indeed a bit arrogant, but the sword is worth the loss - whether it is because of our appearance, we are far superior to humans."
The combat and learning abilities are not only limited to us, the second judge of the Honmaru, but also many humans who covet the sword to pay for the mourning god...
This feeling of being used as a tool and thrown away at will makes me very angry, but I have to admit——"
"This is the meaning of our birth."
The shadow of the bangs made Hasebe's eyes dim, "Even if you are using us... you saved us from the sea of misery. No matter what the purpose is, I can see that you cherish it."
The owner of the sword can become your sword and fulfill its obligation to accompany the master in fighting. In the end, it is gloriously broken in order to protect the master. To me, it is the best destination."
Press-cut Hasebe was originally an Odachi, about three feet long. Later, because his former master Oda Nobunaga could not forgive the tea ceremony master's fault, he cut off the shed where he was hiding, polished it into a knife, and pressed it.
This is where the name comes from.
Looking at the pressure-cut Hasebe, it is very difficult to make the blade with all the blade patterns, and the outer armor on his body - the golden squid sword sword is also difficult to reproduce. In terms of rarity, the pressure-cut longe
From his body to his clothes, Tanibe was a national treasure-level man. It was such a treasured sword that Oda Nobunaga later casually gave to his non-direct subordinates.
Because this very humiliating memory for the sword affected the overall character of Hasebe Kikiri after he transformed into a human form. After being transformed for some inexplicable reason and then being randomly discarded to others, Hasebe Kikiri developed feelings in his heart.
Doubts about his own existence, feelings of inferiority and dissatisfaction with Oda Nobunaga were tugging at the limit in his mind.
Nikiri Hasebe was eager to prove that man wrong.
——So if the judges in every honmaru were to evaluate the loyalty of the swordsmen under them, the pressure cut of Hasebe would definitely be the highest.
"Master control" is what the fusangshen say about Hasebe, because normally Hasebe always takes the master as the main one and wants to split himself into multiple men to share the master's worries. Why is this?
It is not a kind of struggle that cuts into Hasebe's fate of being homeless.
He is not a useless sword that can be thrown away casually - Hasebe, the new owner, wants to rely on the new owner's affirmation to heal his inner wounds.
There is one thing that Hasebe has hidden deep in his heart and has not said yet. During the time when he was eroded by the curse, Hasebe suffered more psychological torture than physical pain.
That curse spirit is very good at playing with people's hearts. It allowed Hasebe to experience the memory that he wanted to forget countless times. It even distorted the scene where the first judge "cruelly" "abandoned" him, and
The second Inquisitor tricked him into betraying his murderous and heartbreaking memories, and they were still circulating in his ears——
You are a disqualified sword.
All you can do now is... fight for me forever.
A sword that cannot fight has no need to exist.
A sword that is not accepted by its master deserves your current fate.
…
The ridicule of the curse spirit lingered in Hasebe's ears like it happened yesterday, causing huge cracks in his mind. Something terrible was about to emerge——
"Mr. Hasebe! Stop it!"
A voice brought Hasebe's mind back to reality.
When Hasebe came back to his senses, he found that the little girl climbed up to him on the tabletop, and put her warm little hands on his forehead covered in cold sweat. This was the first time that the two of them were so close, and behind them
Tsurumaru Kunaga and Issei took out his saber and stared at him with vigilant eyes.
"It was very dangerous just now, Mr. Hasebe."
After using the purification technique to instill some spiritual power into the opponent's body to calm his mood, Rai breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the curse has been removed, the memory of the curse is still there. If the sword pays the price,
To be continued...
