Zuomura's hand was still holding the two girls, and he looked at Muramasa who had begun to disappear with some seriousness.
"I... I also want to stay."
Muramasa looked at Zuocun and pursed his lips.
"You guys have similar characteristics to mine...I never noticed it."
"That old man's nostalgia...Oh!"
Muramasa rubbed his forehead and showed a grinning expression.
"What a bunch of little guys who only cause trouble for others! It's also about forging swords and giving birth to children... They actually want to delve into the realm of gods and Buddhas as a swordsman... How could I be so stupid when I was alive?
What does it look like?”
"...Your Excellency Zuocun, those two children, if you can, please..."
Wow——
As the golden light fell, Saber Thousand Sons Muramasa exited.
"It's so hot...why does it feel like the fire is getting bigger and bigger?"
"...it worked, at least."
Fujimaru Ritsuka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
All we have to do next is leave with Mr. Samura.
Musashi and Kotaro also have their own ways of leaving...
"Mr. Muramasa actually stole the spotlight at the end... I thought this time would be my highlight."
Musashi was a little helpless about this matter, but for now - he didn't feel there was any problem.
If Mr. Muramasa is not allowed to cut that knife, his mission will have failed, right?
In the Shimabara Hell at that time, Musashi and Samura's slashing attacks had no effect. Although it showed that Kamikiri Village was able to cut off many things, it was completely ineffective in the inherent barrier where everything was burning.
.
If it weren't for Muramasa's knife, they might not even be able to escape.
Is this what is called... one thing brings down another thing?
"Okay, okay, let's get down quickly - eh?"
Just when Musashi wanted to hurry down the stairs——
But I found that there seemed to be someone standing at the end of the stairs.
"I'm sorry, Lord Musashi."
"Here... as long as there is someone below, it won't work."
Musashi was stunned.
The figure standing in the flames is——
"The only ones I want to stop are Miyamoto Musashi and Mr. Samura. If you want to leave, please leave as soon as possible."
His figure emerged from the smoke, and he just stood there, looking at Musashi.
This is exactly the swordsman who stood next to the sorcerer before...
"...Master Zuocun, take Ritsuka and Her Royal Highness the Princess and leave quickly."
After a moment of silence, Musashi's eyes stayed on the swordsman, and he just said to Zuomura behind him.
"Huh? Musashi-chan——why?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned.
Although there is still an enemy in front of us - but why, why do you want Mr. Samura to leave?
"Give me a reason."
Zuo Cun also narrowed his eyes and asked Musashi.
"He is, my enemy."
Musashi had already pulled out Myojin Kiri Muramasa, who had just returned to the scabbard, and looked at the swordsman standing opposite with a casual posture.
"Master Samura... I'm sorry, our duel may have to be postponed for a while."
"You promised Mr. Muramasa that you would go and see those two children. In that case - just leave quickly."
"Leave me alone and leave quickly."
Musashi repeated this sentence twice in succession.
Zuo Cun couldn't help but raise his head and look across.
In the blazing fire, the swordsman stood calmly and calmly, with a relaxed smile on his lips, but the power he carried——
It really made Zuo Cun feel a little trembling involuntarily.
Juggernaut.
Undoubtedly the swordsman.
Even a more powerful swordsman than the previous Yagyu Tajima Shumuneki.
This figure - Zuo Cun knows him.
Of course I also know the name.
A man who has practiced a move to the realm of infinity can kill even a swallow countless times in an instant.
He was a peerless master with terrifying stunts. His martial arts skills were so terrifying that even later generations would be hard-pressed to determine whether this person actually existed.
Its name is——
【Sasaki Kojiro】
"...I understand. This fight should be put into practice the next time you and I meet."
"Litsuka, Your Highness Princess, hold on to me."
As Zuo Cun said, he was about to jump up and leave, but his hand was caught.
"Mr. Zuomura - do we really want to leave?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked.
Leaving Musashi here alone or something...
She can't do it.
"Walk."
However, Musashi said it again.
"Let Musashi stay, Ritsuka...she must stay."
"Because her opponent is...her old enemy."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, and then showed a little understanding.
There is only one old enemy of Miyamoto Musashi.
That, a household name.
"We believe that Musashi can escape and let's go."
With that said, Zuocun didn't delay any longer - in fact, his mind was about to explode.
There is not much left in the spirit base, and he will probably fall into a coma after landing, but before that——
We have to leave here.
call--
Zuomura jumped up with Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kiyohime, broke through the flames, and reached high in the sky.
"Musashi-chan——————"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the burning castle and shouted involuntarily.
"We will definitely meet again in the future! Ritsuka!!!"
"Believe me, and believe yourself - we - will definitely meet again!!!"
Musashi's voice also penetrated the flames and reached Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears.
Fujimaru Ritsuka grabbed Zuomura's clothes and pursed her lips.
Enough.
Such a promise——
Enough.
In the future, he and Musashi will definitely meet again...!
...
"Speaking of which..."
"Do we have to fight here?"
"If we fight here, if we are not careful, both of us will be killed."
Musashi looked at the swordsman opposite and smiled casually.
"That's true, but I have indeed received favor from Your Majesty the Magician. Killing you is indeed a top priority."
"I actually cherish my life very much, and I am aware of the current situation, so... after killing you, I will leave the city quickly, and then go to pay homage to Mr. Magician."
The swordsman smiled.
"Although you are indeed a beautiful woman with beautiful appearance, I have no intention of committing suicide with you."
"Get ready to accept the attack - Lord Musashi."
Musashi did the same and smiled.
"Two swordsmen who are proud of their own strength meet here. This seems to be a reason why they have to accept the challenge."
"There is no more valid reason than this."
"And...I know your name."
"Although I have never met you, it's as if fate caught up with me and let me know this name."
"In this case - we can only fight to the death!"
"I've kept you waiting for so long——[Sasaki Kojiro]!!!"
