"It's your fault! Aren't you just eating and drinking so much that you managed to escape into a thatched hermitage?"
Muramasa stared back.
"You don't know how to learn from Zuocun and Kotaro. They also know how to keep sentries at the door to be wary of possible enemy invasion. You two can eat and sleep better than the other!"
What I said... is really true...
"Uh, uh, uh..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head in embarrassment.
"That's because Mr. Samura and Mr. Kotaro are both servants! Ritsuka and I are still alive!"
Musashi's reason seems to be quite sound.
Danzo looked at Muramasa and then at Fujimaru Ritsuka, with a trembling expression.
"You... do you still let Duan Zang stay with you when you know that Duan Zang is an enemy..."
"I didn't expect that I was the only one who didn't discover such a thing..."
She looked a little defeated, a little...painful.
"I'm really, really broken..."
She said mockingly.
"If you stay in such a broken state, just don't wake up again..."
"I understand that it is just a machine doll that can only complete orders. It is essentially the same as a sword, a matchlock gun, or even a wheel."
"I'm just...a prop."
"It only operates according to the will of the user."
"Am I not...completely disqualified?"
She raised her head and looked at the young servant standing beside them.
"Um...Sir Kotaro."
"exist."
Kotaro responded quickly and briefly.
There was a bit of unbearability in his eyes.
"You once told Chiyo Mochizuki that a ninja without a heart is no different from a sword."
"...Actually, I think so too. I have always thought so."
She lowered her head again and said this.
"But, it can't be done."
"Although Danzo is undoubtedly unqualified as a ninja now, I...can't be a sword without a heart, because I have a heart."
"...It's ridiculous. He's obviously just a failed ninja, and he's just a machine doll that's not human, yet he's saying such outrageous things. But...I really think so.
of."
"So, everyone, Duan Zang has something to tell you."
She raised her head again, as if she had finally determined something.
"Everyone...please believe me. At least at this moment, I am standing here by my own will."
"I brought you here with my own consciousness, in order to... allow you to prevent the activation of Yili Dirty City."
There was firmness and determination in her eyes.
"Start? In other words, the current Yanli Utu City has not been started yet?"
"Yes."
Duan Zang nodded seriously.
"As the missionary just said, if Her Highness Qing Ji is devoured as a living sacrifice, everything will be over."
"At that time, Yanli Dirt City will be officially launched and completely rooted in this subordinate. If it cannot be stopped, the entire peaceful and prosperous era will be destroyed."
"And...the darkness of the city of disgust will spill over into other worlds."
"As the missionary said, it is a big change that can affect other worlds..."
Everyone's expressions were serious.
"Damn, this kind of thing is a bit too foul...!"
Musashi gritted his teeth.
"Haha-hahaha!"
“Hahahahahahaha————————”
Crazy laughter came from the palace.
"It's so ridiculous, so--so ridiculous!!!"
"Is this the so-called self-will, the motive for betrayal?"
The tone of that voice was full of sarcasm.
"Did you think that you would be allowed to own such a thing? It's just a machine doll that is about to decay. How stupid."
"Free will! The self that emerges from an artificial product! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha--it's just too stupid!"
Black energy appears.
The moon in the sky seems to be a little redder.
"Hmm, it looks good to show worries and hardships like this, and it seems good to use as something to relieve boredom when you are bored."
"Everyone, be careful!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka lowered his body, making a posture that could catch any next action, and watched the black shadow emerging from the black air with vigilance.
"It's the heroic swordsman...!"
"...Caster Limbo...! You didn't stay with the sorcerer!"
Duan Zang felt a sense of crisis arouse all over his body, and looked at the heroic swordsman who appeared here with some horror.
"Everyone - be careful! The magic controlled by this person is extremely powerful. Even if you are hit, you will definitely not be safe!"
She reminded everyone.
The voice of the heroic swordsman who appeared here, Caster Limbo, was still mocking.
"You have committed the crime of betrayal and treason, but you still only have this level of awareness."
"It seems that the next time I repair you, it should be more solid."
"Ah no no no... maybe I should destroy you more completely."
"Alas--"
Unparalleled fear gripped Duan Zang's heart, and her body continued to tremble.
"Hahahahahaha——"
Caster Limbo laughed wildly.
"The appearance of the machine doll that is about to break down - it's so funny! That's why I want to destroy it so much!"
"It seems like I shouldn't have repaired you halfway last time. Next time... um, how about I smash 70% of your head into pieces?"
The words he spoke were so vile that even Kato Danzo felt it...
The deepest fear.
"No... no!"
She seemed to realize something and said this subconsciously.
"What are you talking about - what are you talking about!"
she asked Caster Limbo.
"I said - destroy."
"What's wrong?"
Caster Limbo seems to be laughing, but because his figure is still hidden in the black mist, it is unclear whether he is laughing or whether he is sarcastic.
"The poor monk did pick up the damaged you at that time, but the only damage to you at that time was your outer clothing and limbs."
"The reason why it stopped working is that it ran out of magic power, right? So——that's right."
"I destroyed you."
Caster Limbo spread his hands and said with a smile.
"Put your hands into your head, mess it up, and then - you are a doll that is about to be damaged."
