"Morning, Ritsuka, I was chatting with Tasuke just now. I didn't run away on purpose just to skip breakfast!"
"Axiong looks very busy. After all, he has to prepare breakfast and take care of Tiansuke at the same time, so - I naturally took over part of Axiong's tasks!"
"Ah Xiu, come on, this is Tiansuke you asked me to help take care of. He is such a good boy."
Putting Tiansuke back in his sister's arms, Musashi smiled.
"By the way...is Mr. Zuo Cun still sitting there?"
Musashi looked up and saw that Zuo Cun was still sitting on the branch of a tree with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping.
The fluctuation of magic power that hit him told Fujimaru Ritsuka that he was just closing his eyes to rest.
After hearing Musashi's words, Samura opened his eyes and jumped down from the tree.
"The scenery above is better, and the child always stayed on my shoulder, so I didn't come down."
Standing on Zuo Cun's finger was a small and exquisite sparrow. Although there were many people surrounding it, the sparrow did not appear to be afraid of humans at all. Instead, it looked at the people around it with interest.
"Ah! So cute!"
Ah Sui's eyes shone as he cautiously approached Zuo Cun and observed the sparrow standing on Zuo Cun's hand.
After smiling, Zuo Cun placed the sparrow, which was not afraid of people, on Ah Xiu's head.
"Jiji——"
The sparrow jumped, chirped twice, and then flew away.
"ah......"
Ah Sui looked a little pity.
Such little birds are very timid, so the opportunity to come into contact with them is really rare.
"Don't worry, you will encounter it again."
Zuo Cun gently rubbed Ah Xiu's head, telling him not to be discouraged.
"As long as you take other creatures seriously, that sparrow might come to accompany you in the future."
"Really? Will Mr. Sparrow be willing to play with Ah Xiu?"
Hearing Zuo Cun's words, Ah Sui, who was still a little downcast, suddenly became energetic and asked Zuo Cun expectantly.
"Well, it's true,"
"Great! Oh!"
Ah Xiu's job agent jumped up with joy.
Musashi was more interested in eating it.
"This tastes...is it miso soup?"
She walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, that boy, what did you say to that man named Miyamoto Musashi?"
Muramasa stopped Zuocun and asked.
"It's just a story, about an ordinary life."
Zuo Cun's evaluation of himself is still so low.
In fact, it doesn't mean that Zuo Cun really doesn't know his own strength or anything like that. With his strength, such a title is just in response to the previous incident.
Whether it's curiosity or answers, everything can be answered from a story.
Get different answers in different stories, and then write these answers in one place——
The most important thing is this.
"...Your life was really complicated."
As he said that, Muramasa frowned.
The complexity of Zuo Cun's life cannot be fully recorded even in history books. After all, the length of history books is too short. Even a thick book cannot record a person's life.
What’s more,——
Zuo Cun’s life.
"I—I want to ask you a question, Anno Zuomura."
Muramasa held his chest and stopped him.
"Excuse me."
Zuo Cun just nodded.
"If you, and the other three people you are talking about, really take over that country, what will this country become?"
"What will become of you?"
"The heroic spirits will still be affected after all, I said...right?"
Muramasa narrowed his eyes.
There were some things that he couldn't say he really didn't care about, but his curiosity and Zuo Cun's life were really fascinating.
This kind of story must be read clearly.
"......I have no idea."
"In fact, to this day, I can no longer imagine myself doing all that."
Faced with Muramasa's question, this was Zuo Cun's answer.
"But I think no matter what the outcome is, I will never adapt to it."
"After all, it is... impossible to go back after experiencing any era."
Even recalling it is impossible.
Muramasa's question may only be answered by Ano Samura, the man who "did everything" in Muramasa's words.
"Is that so? Okay, come in quickly. The food will get cold if you continue to stand outside."
After a moment of silence, Muramasa finally nodded, and then Nianhou urged him.
"Um."
...
The hut is still so peaceful.
Even Kato Danzo has joined the team of peaceful life. In this short period of time, what can Danzo say...
Even in such a crowded small environment, it can be like this...
Even if the machine doll does not have a heart of its own, she will still feel a feeling called "happiness".
happiness......?
...It does make people feel lazy.
"Sometimes, even if I just look at the cloudless sky, I can't help but stand there in a daze."
After drinking the miso soup, I walked to Kato Danzo and Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile.
"...Fujimaru Ritsuka-sama."
Kato Danzo subconsciously said hello.
"Sir... I always feel that Danzo is still very reserved. We have obviously been together for a long time."
Fujimaru Ritsuka actually has never been comfortable with being called an adult...
For a girl who is only about 20 years old, this title is really too advanced.
"It's just a habit, you don't have to mind..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Kato Danzo's side face, feeling a little strange.
I always feel that Ms. Danzo has been very silent since she came back from the top of the mountain.
Is...remembering something?
Or are you thinking about something?
"To be on the safe side, Danzo should go on another patrol. Now that the Heroic Swordsman has two knights left, he still cannot let down his guard."
Kato Danzo gave a slight salute to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and then disappeared in an instant.
It's an uneasy feeling...
Why do you feel uneasy at a time like this?
Could it be that one of the two remaining heroic swordsmen is about to attack?
all in all--
The rare rest time passed by minute by minute.
The final moment is also approaching minute by minute.
...
night.
"The time has come."
"My sad wish, my disgust to leave the filthy land, will finally be revealed."
Under the general manager.
Rustic city.
On the top of the mountain, the crazy magician looked down——
