Chapter 164 Touch All Blades

164.

Most of the swordsmen who stayed in Honmaru were doing the New Year's cleaning.

The blades that did not join in the cleaning either had other things to do, such as completing the internal animation, preparing dinner, arranging mirror cakes... or they were too clumsy and were sent aside by the main cleaning army with disdain. The representative blade was an old blade of Heian-kyō.

Kasen Kanesada threw the rag into the bucket, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the spotless and sparkling corridor. He felt a sense of accomplishment and exclaimed, "How elegant..."

"Yeah... that's true." Yingwan, who appeared at some point with a cup of tea in hand, sighed, "The corridor that has just been swept makes me feel happy just by looking at it."

He took a sip of tea and added, "Even the tea has become more fragrant."

"I'm telling you..." said the Uta-sen Kanesada, with veins bulging out of anger on his forehead, "Don't sit on the corridor that has just been cleaned right after coming out of the fields!"

"That's not right." Utsusemi Kanesada looked at Utagawara suspiciously, thinking of something, "Did you finish the Madoban so quickly today?"

"Hmm..." Yingwan took another sip of tea and didn't answer the question directly, "Da Baoping is quite capable."

"Indeed." Mikazuki Munechika, who was assigned to the retirement group because it was too troublesome, held a cup of tea and sat next to Uguisumaru naturally. "Dabaoping has always been very energetic, whether it is an internal drama or a hand-to-hand drama, hahahaha..."

I see. Yingwanmaru has tricked Lao Shiren into going to Madoban again.

"You guys..." Kasen Kanesada sighed, "Why don't you complete some Neiman occasionally? The last time the master came back, he looked at the Neiman records and asked in disbelief why some Blades could do Neiman for three consecutive months without any improvement in their survival."

"Well, but..." Mikazuki Munechika put down his teacup and said cheerfully, "Master, you can describe everyone's abilities with specific numerical values. It is truly incredible."

Being able to use this ability to judge who has escaped from the inner circle is really a bit unbearable for the old man... Mikazuki Munechika picked up the teacup again. Well, he suddenly wanted to take a break when he raised the hoe. This kind of behavior is also a normal behavior for a swordsman, right?

"Oh? The tea stems are standing up." Yingwan smiled, "Will something good happen?"

Kasen Kanesada wrung out the rag and began to wipe the pillar next to him, saying casually, "Who knows? It's impossible that the master suddenly..."

"Are you talking about Auntie?"

After learning from Yunsheng that everyone was actively preparing for the New Year, you and the handsome young man walked towards the square.

On your way forward, you get a random short knife xN who is playing hide-and-seek; Tsurumaru Kuninaga who is placing mirror cakes in the pool; and Catfish Tail Toushirou who was put into the stable by someone and is excitedly chasing the horse of the day with horse feces...

The number of blades in your industry gradually increases, and before you know it, the number of blades hanging on you is also increasing.

By the time you turn the corner and see Utase Kanesada, you'll be covered in blades of every type—except for the tall ōdachi and naginata, because you can't really drag them.

“Master… Master?!”

Utsusemi Kanesada, who hadn't been frightened by the Judge for a long time, suddenly heard your voice and was so frightened that he threw the rag away...

It just happened to land on the head of a long-haired man named Mingyue.

"I'm so sorry, Mikazuki-dono. If you think it's dirty, you can go wash your hair."

To be honest, I kind of miss this kind of intimidation coming from my own family.

Kasen Kanesada quickly picked up the rag and threw it back into the bucket. He looked at you, as if complaining, or as if expressing his longing: "Really, Master still likes Kakeru so much... Will he stay in Honmaru for a while this time? We haven't gotten along well with Master for a long time."

Only six blades can meet the Judge every day, and there are more than a hundred swords that rotate in different ways. It takes ten days or half a month for each sword to meet its master...

Besides, in the mission world, how can you be as free as in Honmaru? Everyone is afraid of causing trouble to the master unintentionally.

"Also..." Kasen Kanesada's eyes twitched, he pulled up his furisada sleeves again and grabbed the blade directly, "Stop sticking to the master? What kind of talk is that? It's really not elegant!"

"Eh..." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, whose entire blade is almost sticking to you, said in a long tone, "Is Kasen jealous? Is he embarrassed to be so close to his master?"

"Is that so?"

You looked at Kasen Kanesada and calmly opened your arms - the short sword holding your arm was almost thrown out, and they hurriedly held it tighter, fearing that if they were not careful, they would give the other blades a chance.

"Come on, Aunt Ruga is a burly woman, tall and strong, with powerful arms and a slight waist. In short, she is a pair of shoulders that knife-wielding people can cling to."

“Hahaha, can you let me cuddle with you for a bit, Grandpa?” The thick-skinned Mikazuki Munechika came over, covering his face with his sleeves, frowning slightly, “Ah… Master, it seems that there is no place for the Grandpa here.”

Shameless Heian-kyō Old Blade! He actually seduced Alluki!

The knife on your body casts an angry look at Mikazuki Munechika, but the latter remains calm, as if he didn't notice the looks of his companions at all.

"When I saw you, Mikazuki, I couldn't help but think of a sentence."

"What?" Mikazuki Munechika was a little curious, "Hahaha... Is the master trying to compliment me? This is really strange."

You thought about what you wanted to say and felt that... those adjectives were not derogatory, and if you rounded them off, they would be compliments.

"That's right." You cleared your throat and said, "When I saw you, Mikazuki, I thought of that sentence..."

You take a deep breath and say loudly: "Grandpa is over a thousand years old, but he still has the charm!"

The words are normal words, and they are indeed exaggerated words, but when these two words are combined together... it makes Ren unable to laugh.

But the smile will not disappear, it will just move to other sharp faces.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga is already rolling on your back with laughter, making your armor rattle.

Tsk, your back is a little numb from being hit, and you reach out to lift Tsurumaru Kuninaga by the collar. Why is Tsurumaru still so funny?

I'll give him some feather tickling training some other day. You see, V-Imperial Feathers helped Tsurumaru Kuninaga become a male swordsman with a high sense of humour.

After touching Yunsheng, you thought that you couldn't favor one over the other, so you made a big "hey hey let me touch it" gesture to other very successful blades in Honmaru.

Some of the blades are very generous, and they will even open their collars to let you touch them. The representatives are Sonroku Kanemoto and Yamaderi.

"Little Bird, do you want to feel it? Hmm? After all, you are an old man, you won't be shy about this."

Some blades are so careless that they will take the initiative to put your hand on them when they see you hesitating. They are represented by Izumi-no-kami Kanesada and Himezuru Ichimonji.

"Hmm... do you want to touch me? Sure... I'm not yawning..." Himezuru Ichimonji, who tilted his head and fell asleep halfway through his words, suddenly opened his eyes and saw that you hadn't left yet. He yawned while pressing your hand to himself, "Is this... all right?"

"Huh? It's just a touch, isn't it? What's so great about it?"

A certain strong and beautiful sword took the initiative, and then reacted to what she had done amid the teasing of other blades. The whole blade turned red, and after a while she ran away in a panic: "Guo Guang! Guo Guang! The master took advantage of me, should I marry the master?"

"Haha, Kanesan, why are you talking nonsense again?"

Some of them are confused, but very obedient, standing still and letting you touch them. The representatives are Mitsutada Shodai who is steaming rice cakes, and Kanemitsu Hou who is eating rice cakes.

"Do you feel it?" With his mouth stuffed full, Hou Jiajian opened his eyes wide, seeming a little confused, "Master, I feel a little itchy when you touch me...ah, sorry, can I have another serving of this?"

Finally, you walked up to the last person to arrive, Daoyu Ichimonji, and asked to touch her, saying that it was all exposed, so it was there for you to touch, right? If you touched it, it would help with something, and the deal would be done.

Actually, I am a little confused. Daoyu Ichimonji, who is not very familiar with you, smiled and said, "Okay, do you want to take off the clothes?"

Having successfully touched the entire Honmaru, you feel very satisfied and sit down in the large hall to enjoy the life of an emperor with food all provided for you.

Sayo Samonji wants to feed you rice cakes but doesn't know how to start, so she looks at Souzo Samonji for help.

The pink-haired god of the dead flipped his hair, walked in front of you, and began to speak in a resentful tone: "Lord, you won't take off your helmet? Don't you want to face us with your true face? Aren't you satisfied with having so many famous swords?"

You shuddered. Isn't it true that Zong San has become radicalized? Why is he no longer speaking human language? And why is his tone and words so similar to those of a wife questioning her husband?

Oh, that’s not right. You can also add a powerful electric guitar and a bass that no one cares about to the questioning voice, and make it into a popular V song for debut.

But... you touched your helmet and realized that it is not very convenient to walk around Honmaru dressed like a can - it is not convenient for you to sneak around and do parkour in the middle of the night, after all, the noise made by the metal clothes is too loud.

You opened the character panel and changed to a bright yellow robe with one click. Then you looked at Souza Sawamonji and said, "My beloved, why do you say that? I am just afraid that my perfect face will make my beloved unable to extricate myself."

The other Blades showed complicated yet relieved expressions: This is the taste, even if he has undergone a secondary metamorphosis, he is still the Alluki they are familiar with.

"Rice cake, delicious." Sayo Sawamonji was unmoved, and handed the fresh rice cake to your mouth, looking at you seriously, "New Year... Is there anyone you want to take revenge on?"

You touched the short knife's head, chewed the rice cake and said, "Yes, there is..."

For example, Gin who made you work overtime, Curly with sunglasses who laughed at your height, and the Grim Reaper who made Mihua dangerous...

"But when it comes to revenge, it's more satisfying to do it yourself."

"Oh..." Sayo Sawamonji nodded, "No matter who it is... I will help my master to avenge him."

Small short knives, very cute small short knives, you can eat thirty of these small short knives in one breath. You big players, you just need to see more of these cute things, so that you can have the strength to continue playing the game.

“Done!”

Ji Ren, who had been preparing the lottery slip, let out a breath.

"We're done too!" Rando Shiro held up the card, "New Year's card! It's definitely my cutest!"

"Hey - Luan is too cunning."

"Mine looks great too, the master will definitely like mine more!"

…

After finishing his work at the food stall and returning to Honmaru, Yamaubakiri Kunihiro walks up to you with three signature papers.

"Draw lots? Let me help you.*"

You casually flipped open a piece of red paper, and on the back of the paper were written the words "Good Luck".

"Yes, it's great. It's amazing."

The original sword that has always been with you looks at you and whispers, "Happy New Year, Master."

"In the future..."

He seemed a little embarrassed, his ears turned slightly red, but he still looked at you firmly, with a soft light flashing in his green eyes.

"I will always be by your side."

"As a masterpiece you are so proud of."
