Chapter 1967 Miyamoto Musashi and 'The Book of Five Rings'
Shinnobu Musashi and Fujiwara Genshin.
Most people call him Miyamoto Musashi.
Some people call him Kanmoto Tosai, some call him Fujiwara Genshin, and people who are familiar with him also call him by his nickname, Bennosuke.
He is an unparalleled swordsman in the world. He uses his two-tiered swords to kill countless creatures.
"Are you talking about yourself?"
A voice seemed to ask.
I, have you ever called yourself that...?
ah......
Doesn't matter.
"What were you talking about just now?"
The voice is asking and answering itself.
"Ah, it's a blade, a blade, right?"
"Blade..."
"In the past, it could be called tachi and wakizashi, but now...it seems that it is called tachi and wakizashi. It should be like this."
"Anyone who can wear a sword will be called a [Samurai]."
"[Samurai] is a person who serves noble people, so the title of warrior is also [Servant]."
"And the person who commands many warriors is the [General]."
"If you want to make an analogy, it's probably...a foreman among craftsmen, or something like that?"
"They are rulers. They can discern the rules of the world, understand the rules of the country, and control the rules of the family."
"Ha ha......"
"not understand?"
"That's natural. Even a kid named Iori doesn't understand it."
"Hmm... In addition to Iori, Sun Zhiyun will also show strange and incomprehensible expressions, right?"
"Ah...Actually, when I was young, I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything about warriors or generals. All I could think of was to use my sword to kill people in front of me.
Everything... and stuff like that."
"If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, I don't have the so-called qualifications of a general. It's just... that I can only have the talent of a small supervisor."
"Exactly."
The voice became a little more serious.
"How stupid, how stupid!"
"What's the point of using a sword for nothing? What's the point of just killing all the creatures in front of you?"
"The sky can chop, the sky can kill, it's just like a prank."
"...Perhaps this is why I will be addicted to painting and writing in my later years...?"
"ah......"
"It's just that I want to be laughed at by Takada Matabei and the others... The mocking of me is just because I'm old and start to think wildly... I'm not wrong, it's already happened now.
What’s the point of any of this?”
"That's right, Matabei."
"I have no room for regrets anymore."
"——How could I possibly say such a thing! Hahahaha——"
"People who live in troubled times should stain their hands with blood and become unparalleled in the world! It doesn't matter if they are stupid or mischievous! I am the most excited son of troubled times in the midst of bloody chaos and tragedy!!!"
"How can I regret it! Why should I regret it!"
"Keep chopping - keep cutting - keep killing all life in the world - this is my life!"
"It's nothing more than fate. There's no need to fear death!"
"ah......."
"Forget it, no one can hear it anyway..."
"I don't have much time left. I may even leave this world before the person I have been waiting for arrives."
Ahhh...
That should be one...
What a shame...
Gods, Buddha, no, at this point, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a devil or a ghost.
Leave me a little time...
Leave me some time...
Even my fate cannot be pursued to the abyss of hell, so...
ha.
perhaps.
also possible.
Is this world a hell?
...
Crunch——
Everything is business as usual in Chaldea today.
After returning from the last singular point, Chaldea entered a rather relaxed state.
"Ah, senior."
"Morning, Matthew..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka opened the door, rubbed his eyes, and said hello to Mashu.
"That's great, senior. I wanted to find you just now, but I didn't expect you to be here now."
"What do you want from me, Matthew?"
Perhaps because he was a little tired from dealing with Phoenix, one of the six special envoys, at the last singularity point, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked listless.
"I found what I have been looking for. Ah, although it is said to be what I was looking for...but it actually has something to do with senior."
"Let me explain it one by one."
Matthew sat on the chair behind the control room with a smile on his face.
"Senior, you met that female Miyamoto Musashi before, right?"
That happened before the New Year.
"Musashi dear..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt a little bad.
Miyamoto Musashi was actually a woman... Why are so many historical truths counter-intuitive?
...Although, that female Miyamoto Musashi is not actually the Miyamoto Musashi of this world line, and its essence may be something like a cut-off matter...?
"How should I put it? Miss Miyamoto Musashi, in essence, should not be a servant, but some kind of existence that shuttles through the world. In terms of nature, she should be closer to a living human being.
Category......?"
"In short, that is the rough truth about Ms. Miyamoto Musashi."
"Is that so...?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka still felt a little sleepy.
"I actually seem to be somewhat interested in this matter...so I investigated it based on the information my seniors told me, and also made assumptions based on indirect evidence..."
"Ah, of course, there is another thing I am more interested in."
"Female Miyamoto Musashi, male Miyamoto Musashi, well... In conclusion, these two types of Musashi exist. How do you say this way of dividing an existence...
."
"I think there may be some meaning."
Mashu said to Fujimaru Ritsuka seriously.
"If I remember correctly, there should be records in Chaldea of Servants who exist simply as ifs... But is this the case with Ms. Miyamoto Musashi?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka finally woke up a little and asked Mashu with some doubts.
If she goes by her impression, the difference between the Miyamoto Musashi she met and the real "Miyamoto Musashi" she learned about... can't be explained by just the existence of if.
"I was just curious about this, so I did some research."
Matthew pursed his lips, with a slightly excited expression on his face.
"So is there any result?"
"Yes!" Matthew nodded happily, "Moreover, Miss Lawrence, Da Vinci, and the Chaldean staff also helped me!"
