Chapter 2043: Chiko Muramasa who is good at doing business
The Thatched Hermitage in Qianzi Village.
"You actually came back. I thought you were planning to stay under the city."
"...Forget it, no matter you are a swordsman or a master, you are considered a guest when you get here. You must be very tired after walking for so long."
Qianzi Muramasa expressed a considerable degree of surprise at the return of several people - but he did not let his courtesy disappear.
"Ah Xiu, bring out the tea. It needs to be hot."
"Coming~"
"Grandpa, is there another guest at the thatched cottage? Is he someone from the village?"
Listening to the voice, you can tell that Ah Xiu is a little in a hurry, but he looks very happy.
"Ah! It's the big sisters, big brothers, and uncles!"
Zuo Cun:......
Being called uncle in a group of people who are called brothers and sisters, this kind of thing, this kind of thing...
"I'm back, Ah Xiu, Tiansuke! Did you miss me?"
Musashi picked up Tiansuke from the ground, held him in his arms, and asked with a smile.
"Ah Xiu misses big sister! By the way, big sister, is there anything interesting happening in the city?"
Ah Xiu is still a child after all, and he is full of considerable curiosity about everything.
"It's very spacious! And we also met Her Royal Highness. She was really Her Royal Highness! I was really shocked at that time!"
Musashi swayed around with Tiansuke in his arms and said while rubbing Tiansuke's head.
"Hey! Hey! Is she really the noble princess? So awesome, so awesome!"
Ah Xiu's eyes lit up.
She is actually a real princess or something - no wonder that lady is so dignified and beautiful!
"Baby, baby?"
Looking at Tiansuke being held in Musashi's arms, Danzo's expression was a little stiff.
Qianzi Muramasa glanced at this person who had never appeared before and glanced up and down.
Such a look made Danzo feel danger all over his body.
"I've never seen this guy before, you look like a ninja?"
"Don't ninjas need to wear costumes to hide themselves these days?"
Muramasa probably never saw ninjas a few times during his lifetime. These guys are masters of disguise and will never let you know their identity unless you don't want to.
But neither Kotaro nor Danzo seemed to have any intention of hiding themselves, completely exposing their ninja attire to people's view.
"No, this is to avoid attracting attention."
After patting his clothes, Duan Zang explained.
"Recently, because there are more and more Westerners in China, there are more and more people wearing strange clothes, so there is no problem with me dressing up like this."
As she said that, she glanced in the direction of Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head in embarrassment.
She was also wearing Chaldea's standard white master uniform - mainly because this outfit was really comfortable to wear.
And the recognition is also very high.
"I'm sorry I didn't send you my greetings, Mr. Housekeeper."
"My name is Danzo, and I was ordered to serve as the bodyguard of His Excellency Fujimaru Ritsuka, so I went to this hermitage with a few others - then, everyone, I will take my leave."
With that said, Danzo looked like he wanted to leave.
But Chiko Muramasa seemed to speak faster.
"No, since you're here, there's no need to leave in such a hurry, otherwise it will look like I don't know how to entertain guests in this hermitage."
Duan Zang was stunned for two seconds, and finally nodded.
"I've never seen you before. You seem to be a subordinate of Yagyu Tajima Mamoru from Edo?"
Taking the teacup and teapot from Ah Xiu's hand, Qianzi Muramasa poured tea and asked Duan Zang.
A common tactic used by the elderly is to ask you for details while doing something - this is what Fujimaru Ritsuka who was standing aside thought.
"Since you can pass through the barrier that I have been strengthening continuously in the past few days...it means that you are at least not a heroic swordsman."
With that said, Senko Muramasa placed the tea in front of Kato Danzo.
——That being said.
But I still put the tea in that place properly.
Although Mr. Chiko Muramasa is a bit harsh in his words, he is actually a very caring person.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm still a businessman no matter what."
"Forging knives and selling knives, there is no way for a really mean-spirited guy to do business. Don't underestimate my ability to treat guests!"
Chiko Muramasa looks very old-fashioned and proud.
This is in stark contrast to his youthful appearance.
"My nature is to be outspoken, so I often offend my guests. At such times, I have to rely on a cordial atmosphere to make up for it!"
Samura was sitting next to him and teasing Tasuke with Musashi. Hearing what Chiko Muramasa said, he couldn't help but look back at Chiko Muramasa.
Wouldn't it be great if you could control yourself and not speak out frankly...
"This, um... thanks a lot for the treat..."
Kato Danzo nodded stiffly and took the tea from Senko Muramasa's hand.
Chiko Muramasa looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Fujimaru, since you are back here, can you tell us what happened?"
"I am indeed a little concerned about how Lord Musashi uses Myojin Kiri... Tell me."
"I heard some things a while ago. Well, let's exchange information."
"Did anything new happen to the boss?"
Kotaro became nervous.
"The black monster that was once suppressed has reappeared, the same one you killed before."
"But this is not the most critical rumor. No matter what, those black monsters have ways to restrain them. As long as they hide in the house, they will be fine."
"The key things...are outside the General Manager."
"Beyond the general manager?"
This time it was Fujimaru Ritsuka who frowned.
"It's Edo."
After taking a sip of tea, Qianzi Muramasa continued.
"On the banks of the Arakawa River guarding Edo, there are ten thousand..."
Having said this, Qianzi Muramasa paused and glanced at Ah Xiu.
"Huh? Is this what the coachman uncle said?"
Ah Xiu's curiosity aroused again and she ran to Qian Zi Muramasa's side.
"Tell me, Grandpa Muramasa! Let me listen too!"
Qianzi Muramasa twitched his lips and finally sighed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. It's not an important matter anyway. We can just talk about it after dinner."
He tried to use this method to divert Ah Xian's curiosity to other places.
"Hey - grandpa is so cunning! He doesn't even let A'zuo participate!"
Ah Xiu saw through Muramasa's little trick.
Azumi pestered Muramasa to get the news, but there was no other way. Muramasa could only look for help at Fujimaru Tatsuka and Miyamoto Musashi, who had the best relationship with Azio.
