Chapter 119: The Wanderer
Niwa Hisahide smiled slightly and was about to speak when his eyes moved and he noticed the light and shadow outside the window flickered. The words on his lips turned into -
"Mr. Changzheng, it wasn't until a few days ago when our friend, the Stranger, returned from his journey and told me that he had confirmed something that I was able to connect the dots."
"Since the Black Disaster ended over ten years ago, countless demons have wreaked havoc on the land of Inazuma. The location of Tadashi Sand was originally established to consume the Crystallized Bone Marrow."
"..." The Imperial Guardsman had his eyes half closed. Although he didn't quite understand how Niwa Hisahide could talk about something from such a long time ago, he had plenty of time to listen quietly.
The only embarrassing thing is that Katsuragi probably doesn't have much free time to attend the festival, and he has been guarding the conversation between the two of them until now.
"I was wary of that executive officer from the start, even though he seemed so harmless under Chong's influence." Niwa Hisahide couldn't help but laugh. "Besides, if the enemy has already been exposed, and I still can't find the problem, then I'm unworthy of being in charge of Tarosha."
"[Crystallized Bone Marrow], this kind of ore, Mr. Changzheng must have done extensive research on it, right?"
"...You're right," Yu Changzheng replied calmly, slowly raising his eyes. "Niwa Jizheng, you're quite capable of connecting such ancient records to current events."
Niwa Hisahide chuckled, "You're too kind."
The imperial carriage chief changed the subject, "However, if you are asking me for confirmation, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Niwa Tsukasa to choose such an important prayer ceremony."
"Hahaha! Of course, there's more to this matter than just that... I hope Metsuko can listen to what I have to say next." said Niwa Hisahide.
"Regarding that executive, let's just use his pseudonym, 'Escher.' Akame mentioned that if we hadn't discussed this with him, a complete and feasible solution for the new optimization technology wouldn't have emerged so quickly.
…Now it seems that the most significant optimization of the new technology may be reflected in the extraction of [Crystallized Bone Marrow].
At the same time, it is obvious that the previous discussions on this plan were undoubtedly led by Escher, who guided Akame step by step to open up key nodes.
Then, at Escher's request, the technology known as Akame was sold to Niwa Hisahide...
If the situation is allowed to continue, once the truth is revealed, the Akame family will not be able to escape responsibility no matter what.
Niwa Hisahide sighed and continued, "The problems with Crystallized Bone Marrow can be seen from the General's decision-making over a decade ago. And your previous actions, especially with regard to Mr. Nagamasa's family... I'm sorry, do you mind if I bring this up?"
"..." The imperial carriage leader was stroking his fingertips and spoke first, "Let me tell you what's next."
"Yes, your speculation is correct."
"I was indeed aware of the development of the new technology from the very beginning. As the monitor, I had the Akame family's new technology under my control from the very beginning. I waited for them to perfect it step by step, and then ordered Katsuragi to retrieve the sword guard left by my adoptive mother..."
Now nearly forty years old, Nagamasa Miyomi has always been obsessed with clearing the family's bad reputation, especially when his adoptive brother Daoqi abandoned the name of "Miyomi" and switched to "Iwaki".
Because her adoptive mother, Torachiyo, died in the backlash from the abyss, she even lost control and attacked the Shogun. Although Miyomi Nagamasa felt ashamed of this, he inevitably learned more about her than most people.
Therefore, when the plan was not yet perfected, Yu Yuchang had already glimpsed part of Escher's intention... This is power, and also a shortcut.
He hated those and took advantage of them.
"Yeah... If it wasn't for the understanding, how could we have achieved success so quickly?" The imperial carriage leader murmured in a low voice.
Niwa Hisahide quietly looked at Gouji Nagamasa, who seemed to be losing control of his emotions, and his gaze shifted slightly. The dark shadow by the window was like a fierce and ferocious figure, looking more vulnerable than the person who was exposed in the room.
"Ahem..." He couldn't help but clench his fist to hide the smile on his face.
While this is a thrilling showdown, it could also be a speedrun commentary for someone.
Outside the house, Ming Chong curled his lips and gestured with the knife whose name he was half responsible for.
——Shit! If it’s not even real in the beginning, the fruits it bears will be stinky.
——Is the next scene going to start with tears and repentance?
hetui!

A Wang, who was standing aside, had tears in his eyes. He put his hands together and prayed silently, and then he turned around frantically and stretched out his hands to try to catch the shaky "Da Ta Ling Lang Li".
Mingchong slapped Awang on the head and urged him to feel and paint, as such good opportunities were rare.
"Niwa Jizheng, I was indeed blinded by desire, but my concern for those who love the extraordinary has never been false." Yu Yu Changzheng quickly recovered from his decadence and said in a hoarse voice.
"What you said earlier..."
"Your friend and I, the Curious One...what did he do?"
Niwa Hisahide immediately said seriously, "According to the curious person, after he noticed the abnormality, he planned to set out immediately to seek the help of the gods."
"Mr. Changzheng, please rest assured. I once asked the Strange One if he had any token related to the General. He produced a [Golden Feather] feather ornament bestowed by the General."
"That's strange. I hadn't noticed anything at all because my men's records showed nothing unusual..." Yu Changzheng sighed, "Niwa Jizheng, it seems the strange one deceived you."
"I don't know what you asked him to confirm, but based on his last traces after leaving Ta'ersha, the Strange One was heading towards Bayun Island."
Niwa Hisahide stared blankly at the swaying shadow by the window, and a clear clue gradually emerged in his mind, "He didn't lie to me."
“Because, this is indeed growth.”
…
…
"You're certainly not afraid, but you seem to trust me too much." Oropus sneered, "The demon god who leaves behind filth isn't as incompetent as you think."
"I still can't understand why you could abandon your creator and seek answers from me based on just a few nights of dreams."
The curious person said softly, "You don't have to understand. Not everything in the world can be understood."
"I haven't learned to lie yet, so, as a god, Oropus not only knows about [Crystallized Marrow], but also possesses the knowledge I want to know."
Oropus was speechless. "If you're talking about the experience of answering all sorts of strange questions while raising a child, then the Narukami you're referring to is unlikely to have any."
As far as Oropus knew, there should be two Ming Shen. The elder sister Baal might have some talent in raising children, but the younger sister Baalzebul was not.
After his intellect awakened, he heard about the Mingshen's way of governing the country. It was undoubtedly the reckless woman Baalzebu.
...Besides, raising children is not an experience that most demons have, but Orobas may not be among the majority.
Even without mentioning the past when Impas appeared, as the god worshipped by the White Night Kingdom, Oropus really treated every citizen like a child and arranged their future.
After meeting Impas, Oropas grew rapidly due to his extraordinary talent, and his relevant experience increased every minute.
In the early days, Impas was known as the Demon God of Music, and kids like Hiramumon, Mirubusi, and Aru all loved to play with him.
It was often Kapachili who brought them here and then flew away with Impas. However, none of these guys knew how to take care of children, not to mention Impas, who also needed a guardian.
Kapachiri, Kapachiri is a demon god that is rumored to have grown up by eating children.
Therefore, Oropas has accumulated rich experience in raising children.
Young (crossed out), single, but a stay-at-home dad.
Thinking of this, Oropus fell into a long silence. It wasn't a very clear memory, not even his own, but for some reason, he kept thinking about it.
——So much so that it affected this doll.
Come to think of it, perhaps this doll also gave Oropus the illusion of being with children. It was only when the festival started that the faint singing of those children could be heard...
Unfortunately, in reality, Oropus did not form a bond with the children of the White Night Kingdom.
Perhaps this was the meaning of meeting Impas, Oropus thought, knowing that he and this stranger might have a connection, perhaps even a story...
As for Impas, you may have to wait for a long time, but he will never let you down.
"What are you thinking about?" The curious one suddenly said, "The furnace core is almost there."
"Haha, I've already died. Thinking about it is meaningless to me. What about you? What are you thinking about?"
"I……?"
The curious man stood before the rumbling furnace, emitting black smoke, and pondered for a moment. "Niwa once said that when forging, a swordsmith maintains a certain temperature and repeatedly hammers something called a 'blade'..."
"I was probably thinking about [the temperature]."
"After I stopped being a puppet, Chong liked to play a game where he would blow hot air into a very cold glass and then show me the extent of the glass's foggy surface.
But Chong starts with the exhaled air, which is white mist, and I can't do that easily. So, I usually paint on the glass."
"...In order of order, the snow is very cold, Chong's body temperature is much higher than mine, and then there's the [embryo]."
As he spoke, the curious one's speech became slower and slower. "Orobus, the temperature of the furnace core... must be very high, right?"
"..." Orobas spoke after a while, "I don't know, maybe? Do you want to put your hand in? That's not necessary... You just need to throw me in--"
"You said that the [Crystallized Marrow] contained your impurities, and that Dotore's technology extracted you..." The Strange One interrupted Orobas and continued, "Are you really okay now?"
"...Orobus."
