Chapter 20 Is There Something Wrong?

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi was getting a little impatient waiting in the large square.

"Who is the first sword of your Honmaru?" He put down his teacup and looked at Kitsunesuke suspiciously, "Or have you, the Judges, forgotten me?"

"Haha, how is that possible?"

It's possible!

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi saw this from Kitsunesuke's reaction, snorted, and began to speak in a sarcastic tone: "You Shinsengumi are not the type of people who don't care about anything after getting it, right? I haven't agreed to stay in Honmaru..."

No, why is it so strange to say this? He lowered his head to drink water to cover up, making him look like someone who was not favored.

"The Judge of the Gods is still very reliable." Kitsunesuke laughed dryly twice, and his voice gradually became lower and lower, "The original sword of the Honmaru is the Yamaubakiri Kunihiro..."

Seeing that Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi had a sour look on his face, Kitsunesuke shut up and stepped back a few steps: "Then... then I'll go find His Highness Yamaubakiri Kunihiro first. If you're bored, you can go out for a walk first."

Although the initial sword is indeed the one that knows Honmaru best, letting the opponent bring a new blade to understand Honmaru is the best option.

In addition, he has worked for the government for so many years and has come into contact with many "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro", which makes his attitude towards "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro" a little better than his peers.

But that's only slightly better! After all, when you mention "Yamaubakiri", you should think of "Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi".

I really don't know why when you heard his name, you immediately thought he was "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro's brother."

snort!

Moreover, knowing that he and the fake one were at odds, he still let the other party take him to familiarize himself with Honmaru...

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi couldn't tell for a moment whether you did it on purpose or by accident.

Never mind, he will be leaving this Honmaru soon anyway.

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi stood up and straightened his clothes, trying to maintain the elite demeanor of a government blade at all times...

No, there is no style to be maintained in current affairs. Think about it, the staff there are either comedians or top fluff control people who act like foxes... I will write a report to the top management when I get back and suggest that we hold an examination for current affairs personnel every month.

Ah, and the blond old man Dao who always slacks off, also suggested that the current politics should strengthen the management of individual blade reporting standards. Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi smiled, this kind of blade who saw his colleague being taken away by an unknown object and still watched the show, just didn't write enough reports and didn't understand the love of colleagues.

Now...

He opened the door and walked into the yard.

Let him take a good look at the environment of the Honmaru on behalf of "Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi" who will come here in the future.

*

The rating and assessment of the Honmaru is conducted once a year.

The current affairs committee will make an assessment based on the size of the main castle expansion, the number of swords, the battle records of the judges, etc.

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi strolled around the large square and could roughly determine that the expansion level of this main castle had already met the requirements for an S-level main castle.

Hot spring pool, private bathroom, public bath, kitchen... all facilities are available, the environment is well decorated, and the concentration of spiritual energy is also high. It's just that the number of swords is a little small. Later, you only need to increase the number of swords, and it will be easy to upgrade to S-level Honmaru.

If you want to pick up the sword, you still need to go to a higher-level map... No, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, stop thinking, how can he sincerely help you think about how to upgrade to S-rank?

Tsk, he rubbed his temples. It must be the effect of that inexplicable contract.

The absent-minded Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi suddenly noticed that a blade covered with white cloth appeared in front of him.

Ah, is it this Honmaru's fake one? Did the Shinsengumi forget to inform the Blade? Tsk, so unreliable... This Honmaru must lack a reliable Blade.

He sighed and walked behind him: "Hey, fake man, your judge asked you to show me around Honmaru."

The blade covered with white cloth trembled for a moment, and after a few rustling sounds, he said in a muffled voice: "...Are you, Xinren?"

"Huh? I have no intention of joining this Honmaru." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi crossed his arms, "As a government inspector, I am different from the fake one. For me, this Honmaru is just... barely okay."

"I see, I see." "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro" shook the white cloth, "You want to stay, you actually like Tsuru... my judge."

"What are you talking about?!" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi recalled the bad memories, and tried his best not to let himself think about the possibility of "Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi fishing out of the squat toilet". He spoke fiercely, "Who would like..."

He fell silent halfway through his speech.

"Tsk, anyway, I won't stay in this Honmaru."

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi looked at "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro" again. He narrowed his eyes and noticed something was wrong: "Come to think of it, why did you turn your back to me from the beginning, fake person?"

He tried to get in front of Yamaubakiri Kunihiro, but the latter turned his back to him at a faster speed.

"Haha why? Don't call me pretty."

"I haven't spoken yet."

"Don't look at me like that."

"You're wearing sunglasses?" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi felt something was wrong. "Why are you wearing such strange sunglasses?"

"This is... a new trend." Yamaubakiri Kunihiro lowered his voice, "It can... it can improve your night vision."

"You don't need to train your night vision for a katana." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi stopped where he was and turned around, seemingly giving up on trying to figure out what was wrong with "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro." "Forget it, you should take me to get familiar with this Honmaru first."

"Um... um... I'm not very convenient for the moment."

After "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro" answered, he waited for a long time but still heard no reply. He turned around subconsciously and said, "Why don't you say anything..."

“clang——”

The swords collided, making a sharp and harsh sound.

“Heh.” After missing the target, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi quickly retreated. “Not bad reaction, this fake fake of a fake.”

"What are you talking about? I am Yamaubakiri Kunihiro." "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro" refused to admit it. "But you, what if you suddenly attack and hurt the blade?"

"Even if I don't have a good relationship with the fake one." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi raised his sword, "I know what his true self is like, not to mention——"

He rushed towards "Yamaubakiri Kunihiro" again with a cold tone.

"I have never seen anyone carry a weapon with them in any of the Honmaru."

"What is your purpose? Intruder."

*

By the time you and Yamaubakiri Kunihiro arrived near the Great Hall, the small garden that you had carefully arranged for three hours had already disappeared in the fight.

The moment Yamaubakiri Kunihiro saw this scene, he hugged you tightly to prevent you from chopping the two culprits in anger.

"Tsurumaru Kunei, Yamagiri Nagagi."

The two fully-qualified swords whose names you called out shook at the same time.

"Can Youren explain this to me?" You seemed like a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost that had crawled out of a well, emitting a thick black aura. "Why did my little garden, which I spent three hours cultivating, become like this?"

"If the explanation is not good--"

You smiled and drew out the sword of Genji, slashing it to the side. A flash of white light appeared, and the tree thicker than the two blades fell down with a mournful cry.

"No need to explain."

"Hey, this time it really has nothing to do with Tsuru!" Tsurumaru Kuninaga jumped out to defend himself, "It was this blade that mistook me for Yamaubakiri Kunihiro and attacked me first."

"Master, I'm injured." He came to your side and raised his hands aggrievedly, "Look, he just attacked so fiercely. Master, it's better not to bring this kind of blade back casually."

You glanced at Tsurumaru Kuninaga's wound and chuckled, "If your wound lasts another three minutes..."

"In another three minutes?"

"It's completely invisible." You hit Tsurumaru Kuninaga's head with the handle of the knife, "Also, did you grab the sheets that were covering the quilt?"

"That's not a bed sheet... Never mind..." Yamaubakiri Kunihiro tried to interrupt, but when he saw you talking to Tsurumaru Kuninaga, he turned his head away and began to complain, "Anyway, if it's a fake, no one will care..."

"Because the new hairstyle my master gave me is too advanced." Tsurumaru Kuninaga pulled the cloth off his head generously, "I want to give the other blades a scare tonight."

Yamaubakiri Kunihiro, who was originally complaining, and Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, who originally wanted to come over to apologize, were both stunned.

"What...what is this..."

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi tries to understand the current situation. The full-level sword that he has been fighting for a long time is not a strange invader, but the Shinto judge Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

The white cloth on the other person's body was stolen from the fake one, in order to cover his...

Moxxi?

"It's all Tsurumaru's fault," you complained. "I was scared by his sudden appearance. That bottle of hair remover is a rare item."

"The owner behind me glued my hair back with some strange glue." Tsurumaru Kuninaga jumped up and down wearing sunglasses, his mohawk swaying stubbornly. "This is a good scare, isn't it?"

"Even if it's a hairstyle, it will die if it stays the same."

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi still couldn't understand what he was seeing.

Yamaubakiri Kunihiro has integrated well into your and Tsurumaru Kuninaga's painting styles, and very naturally added the topic of "what kind of hairstyle can be considered versatile".

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi crashed for a few seconds. After successfully restarting, he picked up what he had forgotten before, walked up to you, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake before. Is there anything I can do to make up for it?"

Use one blade to do the work and use the other blade to take responsibility.

He should have thought that the Honmaru's Shinto priest had this kind of personality, and the swords here would definitely not be the same as the ones he knew.

"and you……"

Let them rebuild the garden? But you can just drag out the previously saved presets and spend some resources to restore it with one click.

What else can you do? Actually, the two full-level swords were quite restrained and did not affect the buildings. The actual destructive power was not as much as the one you just chopped.

"Then come to my room wearing a bellyband tonight." After thinking for a moment, you added, "You don't have to wear it. If you feel shy, you can choose a bellyband."

"If you wear too much, the punishment process will be inconvenient."

What? Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could you say such...such...such words? !

Is there Smiley Aoki or Kamekko Shinmune in this Honmaru? Who corrupted the Shinsengumi?!

He unconsciously revealed a dark smile: "Excuse me, will Blade, who first proposed this suggestion, also come to the Judge's room tonight?"

Just chop it off, he thought calmly. Such a dirty knife has no need to exist.

"Oh, are you worried about Blade?" You turned around and asked the other two Blades, "So are you guys going to join us tonight?"

"Oh, this is the group sport that the master mentioned before, right?" Tsurumaru Kuniyoshi raised his hands excitedly, "Haha, I will definitely prepare a big surprise for everyone!"

"…If you don't mind the inclusion of imitations."

Yamaubakiri Kunihiro pulled up his hood subconsciously, then remembered that his cloak was taken away by Tsurumaru Kuninaga. In a place where you can't see, he glared at Tsurumaru Kuninaga sinisterly.

"Wow, Yamaubakiri, you have such a scary look in your eyes. Are you planning to take revenge on me?"

“…Imitations will also take revenge.”

"Oh, were you imitating Xiaoye just now? Then call the short swords to come with you tonight."

"Oh, no, the master will be distracted by the daggers."

"That means you can't do it."

"Wha...what? Is that how the master sees me? Looks like I'll have to show my real skills tonight!"

etc……

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi took a step back, sweating profusely.

This Honmaru...

What the hell is going on?!
