This incident happened one after another. I thought I could at least take a breath, but I didn't expect it to become like this immediately.
"The rustic city...seems to have changed."
Observing the surroundings through the ninja that was lifted into the air, Duan Zang said this after hesitating.
"Confirmation completed, the rustic city has changed into a completely different posture than usual."
There was solemnity and seriousness in her tone.
"The city's appearance has changed? What does that mean?"
Miyamoto Musashi was a little confused.
If the scene has changed, that's normal, but the city has changed... Could it be that the rustic city was destroyed?!
"This is a little hard to express...if I had to describe it, it would be - it has become [evil]."
After organizing his language, Kato Danzo said.
"evil......?"
"Although I don't know what it means, but since the sky has become like this, then the current situation must be caused by the two remaining heroic swordsmen and the sorcerer, right?"
Kotaro looked at the blood moon in the sky and said firmly.
"There is no demonic aura around now. In other words - did they accomplish something by attacking the rustic city?"
He speculated.
After all, the nature of the current situation is already very obvious - the rustic city has become "evil". Even Danzo can say such clear words, and there is indeed no figure of the heroic swordsman around, which means -
The other party has accomplished something and created a large-scale magic trick.
"I remember hearing something like this when I was conquering Tomoe Gozen? It seems that their goal is the rustic city. Is it to establish a demon kingdom through the rustic city?"
Musashi was a little puzzled, but——he still speculated like this for the time being.
"Everyone, get ready, we will go there immediately."
Fujimaru Ritsuka did not hesitate, and glanced at the three-stroke command spell that was still intact on the back of her hand, with determination in her eyes.
"I'm talking about you - a big hole was dug out of your stomach two days ago, right? Your anemia has not recovered yet."
"Besides, if you go from here to the city, it will take at least half a day. Can you physically handle the journey?"
Although he said he didn't stop him, Muramasa still said this - he was a little worried about Fujimaru Ritsuka's physical condition.
Such an injury cannot be recovered so quickly even with the ointment of the Fuuma School. Fujimaru Ritsuka only recovered from the wound, but it can be said that he has not recovered in other aspects.
...I miss Miss Lawrence even more.
Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at the necklace around his neck.
That was an... ear sealed by Lawrence with a gem.
That was during the North American Singularity.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Muramasa, even if you say so... we haven't prepared a sacrifice for His Excellency Yinshun yet."
"Besides, that beautiful ghost is begging us to save this boss, isn't he?"
"Azai and Tasuke still have to live in this country, so - are you right, Ritsuka?"
Musashi glanced at Ritsuka with a smile.
Nodding, Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched his fists.
"At least go to Rustic City to figure out what is going on now. Moreover, since you have been entrusted by others and have agreed to it, you must complete this matter, right?"
"We don't know the situation over there in the rustic city yet, but if there is a blood moon in the sky, metamorphosis will appear on the ground below. Although there is still Mr. Yagyu Taimamori and his samurai in the rustic city, but these
Things don’t guarantee anything—we just have to go.”
She analyzed the current situation and then looked at Muramasa.
But it's obvious that Muramasa doesn't buy this.
"I don't want to listen to your louder slogans."
He shook his head slightly.
"...While mourning the destroyed village and the dead people, I and the villagers divided the few surviving horses."
"Now there are exactly five horses in the stable behind my thatched cottage, enough for each of you."
"By the way, don't touch the chestnut-haired one. I raised it myself, but - girl, can you ride a horse?"
He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked, the meaning of his words being self-evident.
But Kotaro looked a little confused.
"Horses in the village? Horses were still used for plowing in the Edo period?"
Never heard of it?
"Xia is always the birthplace of royal horses."
Zuo Cun said something coldly.
He had actually smuggled horses before, that is, exchanging horses for foreigners' guns. For this reason, Zuo Cun had a deep impression of the origin of valuable products in this country.
"I can ride a horse, and I can basically use any vehicle by name! Whether it's biological or mechanical!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said that she had no problem at all in this regard. The training she had received in Chaldea was now the best time to put it to use.
"...Then get ready."
"I haven't felt the feeling of galloping horses for a long time. Don't fall behind!"
"Hey? Grandpa Muramasa, do you want to go too?"
Musashi frowned.
If Muramasa also wants to go together...what will happen to the two children?
"I know what you are worried about. I will take care of you, Axiu and Tiansuke."
After walking into the house, he patted Ah Xiu's shoulder gently, and then calmed down Tiansuke who was still crying, Muramasa said.
"It's not appropriate to stay here or look after my house. Since the sky has become like this, it means there is no safe place on the ground."
"In addition, those two guys wanted to take action against Azao and Tiansuke before, right?"
"Since their boss is in Rustic City now - I will definitely go over and settle the score with him!"
"Yeah! Ah Xiu won't be afraid around grandpa! Are you right, Tiansuke?"
Ah Xiu was leaning next to Qian Zi Muramasa, cheering himself up very sensibly.
"Err, eh, eh-"
The same goes for Tasuke... After all, a child at such a young age doesn't have his own consciousness and cognition, but he can already show determination?
"Anyway, go get the horse quickly. Don't worry even if there are transformations coming around the door, I will take care of it."
"Although it is a bit troublesome to fight with the children, ensuring safety is the most important thing - only by my side is the safest."
Qianzi Muramasa urged, and then pulled out the knife from his waist.
Although he is not a swordsman, he can still use a sword.
