Fujimaru Ritsuka desperately wanted to expose the disguise of his accomplice.
but--
The missionary gentleman looked unmoved at all.
"Who is that? I told you, I'm just a passing missionary."
"Don't associate the things you see in your dreams with other places."
With such a tone, he also said that you are not the cave king...
But since the other party is still denying his identity to this extent, then he should not continue to reveal it.
"I saw you, just now."
Muramasa, who was at the rear of the battlefield just now, cleaning up the metamorphosis that Musashi and Samura missed, narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't expect that even a guy like Ban Tianlian could have such strength. You just - you killed a big snake over there alone."
Even if he was easily killed by Samura and Musashi, it could not change the fact that Orochi was powerful. This was a dependent of Yamata no Orochi.
"That black flame doesn't look like an ordinary thing."
This is a real hammer, he is definitely the king of the cave...
"That is flammable water, imported from the southern barbarians. It can be easily seen from Tianzhu to the west."
The missionary answered immediately.
Fujimaru Ritsuka:......
Why do these words feel so familiar?
"Well, he is indeed a missionary."
Muramasa nodded, not sure whether he believed it or not.
"You guys, go to the city over there."
Seeing that no one finally interrupted, the missionary glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"The shape of the city obviously doesn't want people to get close to it, but you don't move forward but retreat instead, and take the initiative to approach there. Should I say you are too slow or..."
"Is there any reason why you must endure anger and curses?"
His eyes were full of inquiry as he looked at everyone.
——I don’t know why, although I don’t know why.
But when this man stared at him, Musashi always felt a cold feeling from his head to his tailbone.
"Ha, it seems that no matter what the possibility is, you have already found your answer. Am I right? My friend...Fujimaru Ritsuka."
Fujimaru Ritsuka:......
Did he almost spill the beans just now?
But the missionary continued to talk as if nothing had happened.
"There is no need to stop, you just need to keep moving forward."
"The person you are looking for, the magician, is in Rustic City now... No."
"The ceremony is being held in [Yanli Dirt City]."
"...Disgusted with the Dirty City?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was surprised for a moment, and then became serious.
This doesn't sound like good news.
"Disgusted with the filthy soil... is a word Miss Mochizuki Chiyo mentioned."
Kotaro mentioned the first time he heard this term.
"What a pun."
The missionary smiled.
"It is a perfect reflection of that guy's state of mind - not only a manifestation of distress, anger and curse, but also a curse. Of course, maybe - it is also revenge against the gods who have not given salvation."
"The so-called people, the more they love something, the easier it is to fall into confusion about something."
"Although I can't always blame that guy, there is no doubt that he is no longer a human being. He is an individual and expanded existence that has surpassed humans."
Saying that, the missionary looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Go and stop him, Fujimaru Ritsuka."
Musashi and Samura frowned at the same time.
Although this is something on the schedule...
"So, the shady story is indeed over there, right?"
Muramasa seemed eager to give it a try.
"Although there were speculations before, now that it has been confirmed, it saves a lot of trouble."
"But...who are you?"
He looked at the missionary suspiciously.
"Knowing it in such detail, you are not from the sorcerer's side, are you?"
"Only this is absolutely impossible..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said weakly.
Although it seems that the reason cannot be explained...
"I have nothing to do with that guy, but I have some connection with another man who has the same appearance as that guy."
"What do you mean?"
Musashi was confused from the beginning of this conversation, and now he is even more confused.
What are they talking about?
Why can't I understand?
Didn't I miss anything?
"But - forget it, hahahahahahahahahaha - just say that I am in the same company as him, so I can understand him!"
The Cave King... No, it was the missionary who burst out with his trademark laughter and said so.
So in the end, nothing was made clear.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the missionary with helpless eyes.
"Alright, Fujimaru Ritsuka, go quickly, but be careful, the enemy you have to face in the city of Yanli is definitely not the magician alone."
"The princess of Matsudaira is safe and sound for the time being, but she has been imprisoned by that guy. I remember that the princess's name in your memory is - Kiyohime, right?"
"Kiyohime is imprisoned!?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes suddenly widened.
"The sorcerer wants to take revenge on Tokugawa... The great spell he wants to complete is a multiple curse that can corrode even parallel worlds."
"Since it is the possibility of cursing all Tokugawa rule, then Princess Matsudaira, who is the Tokugawa branch, is naturally a suitable catalyst, right?"
"Although the purity will be slightly degraded compared to the princess of the main family, it doesn't matter. Since it is a curse traced back to the bloodline, there is no difference between the branch family and the main family. Moreover, the current Lord Iemitsu is the third generation of Tokugawa, and the bloodline is also
It’s not that complicated.”
"Or maybe he did this on purpose. After all, the Shimabara Rebellion has just passed, and Matsudaira's princess exists around Edo - he himself is looking for such a possibility."
"That makes sense."
He sneered and shook his head.
"...So what does it mean? Can you briefly summarize it?"
Musashi's eyes had become dull.
"To put it simply - as long as you offer Qing Ji's soul, the city of Yanli Dirty Land will be completed."
"At that time, the world will be destroyed, and all the worlds will be destroyed together. Do you understand?"
"So - what are you guys doing here? Go quickly!"
The missionary glared at Musashi, who was frightened.
"I will definitely rescue Qing Ji and save this world."
Although it was a bit shameless to say this - Fujimaru Ritsuka still firmly gave his guarantee.
"Come on, I'll carry you on my back."
Samura took the initiative to lower his body and motioned for Fujimaru Ritsuka to get on his back.
"Um - thank you. Although I still have a lot to say, I'll take my leave now!"
