Chapter 21: Go to Dark Honmaru to grab the blade

Nanquan Ichimonji was worried about Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, so he asked Ichimonji to come to your Honmaru ahead of time.

"Oh, it looks like..." Ichimonji Norimune covered the lower half of his face with a folding fan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Yamaubakiri had a wonderful night in your Honmaru."

Not to mention that the sword obviously has an owner due to the mixed spiritual power, nor the obvious close relationship with the Judge, but the listless look of the sword is as if it has lost its vitality...

Ichimonji Norimune stopped fanning himself. Oh, there won't be a day when he will be tasked with arresting his former colleagues, will it?

You thought back to last night's event and nodded seriously: "It was great."

I was just too excited and kept talking, so my mouth was dry. You smacked your lips and fished out the iced watermelon juice from your backpack. Just as you were about to enjoy it, a hand came down from the sky and grabbed the cup tightly.

"You can't drink iced drinks in the morning, Judge." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi mercilessly snatched your iced watermelon juice away. "Heh, there's no point pretending to be pitiful. I'm not a fake... You can drink it at room temperature."

"Damn it! You had a lot of fun last night." You jumped up and attacked Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi's legs. "And you pressed on me for most of the night, shouldn't you apologize?"

"Haha, I'm not the only blade, not to mention..." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi smiled, "Shouldn't the Judge reflect on the fact that he is too small?"

Damn it, this guy is looking down on Xiao Fei! You were about to draw your sword to teach him a lesson, but Ichimonji Norimune standing next to you was quicker than you.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi drew his sword in time to block the attack. Does this scene look familiar? He didn't have time to think about it. He quickly put your watermelon juice on the table and started to deal with his colleague's attack.

"Well, how should I put it..." Ichimonji Norimune smiled and put away his hand, "What, it detects blade slag around and automatically turns on the attack mode?"

"Although I know you have feelings for this Judge, but..." Ichimonji Norimune suddenly launched a new attack, "I didn't expect you to be so shameless in making swords, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi."

"You old man..." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi also got angry, "Are you seeking revenge for your personal gain?"

"Huh? How could that be? I won't hold a grudge against a young man for forcing an old man to work."

The two blades over there have been fighting each other for several rounds, while your brain here has just digested the previous conversation.

What kind of affection? Oh, so Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi likes you? So that's it, so that's it, you hold your chin and smile smugly, hum hum hum, you know that no one will dislike Xiaofei.

That's good, I can save money on favorability gifts.

Thinking of the dried fish you made yesterday, you tugged at Nanquan Ichimonji's clothes and asked, "Do you want to eat some dried fish?"

Nanquan Ichimonji, who was anxiously watching his colleague getting beaten, replied subconsciously: "Don't treat me like a cat, meow!"

Nanquan Ichimonji's head moved when he realized that you were talking to him. He looked at the fragrant dried fish in your hand and hesitated for a few seconds: "I want to eat it, meow."

*

When Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi and Ichimonji Norimune finished their "friendly discussion" on current affairs, they turned around and saw you and Nanquan slurping spicy dried fish while discussing all kinds of gossip with relish.

"Ah, are you done?" You looked up at Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, who looked unhappy. You hesitated for a moment and handed over the dried fish in your hand, "Do you want some too?"

Seeing that Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi refused, you handed the dried fish to the smiling Ichimonji Norimune, but unexpectedly, Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi's expression became even uglier.

Alas, male blade, your mind is so hard to guess.

"Well, do you like this, young man?" Ichimonji Norimune glanced at the guilty Nanquan Ichimonji, he opened his folding fan and approached you, "Sir, can you tell me how you and Yamaubakiri played yesterday?"

"You want to join us?"

You always feel that this knife pays too much attention to you. Combined with his speech on current affairs yesterday, you understand that this knife must be eager to join your big family.

"Speaking of yesterday, that was really exciting!"

You patted your thigh and began to excitedly explain how you and everyone in Honmaru went from playing Uno to Yu-Gi-Oh, and from Monopoly to Werewolf yesterday, and finally how you returned to your original nature and started playing Mahjong and Landlord.

"I was so sleepy when it was almost dawn that I accidentally fell asleep on the floor." How come in this game, when the energy bar is at the bottom, you automatically fall into a coma and fall asleep? You complained, "As a result, the other Blades were also very sleepy, and no one noticed that I fell asleep. They all put all the pressure on me. Damn it!"

Just want to be with you, other blades who don’t need sleep essentially:?

“It’s obviously Nagayoshi’s first time playing cards, but he was able to cooperate with me perfectly!” You gave Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi a thumbs up, “You have the qualities to be a card player! I recognize you!”

The friendship between card players is so simple and unpretentious.

Ichimonji Norimune looked over and saw that Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi had his back to you, looking like he didn't want to talk to the other blades.

Are you shy? Ichimonji Norimune waved his fan and said with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that Yamaubakiri is adapting well here."

"Then, Lord Judge, can you explain..." Ichimonji Norimune came closer to you, his eyes scrutinizing you, "Why did Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi become your sword?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Nanquan Ichimonji stopped chewing the dried fish and huddled in a corner, acting like an air man.

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi touched the hilt of the knife several times, but finally he made a click of his tongue and did not pull out the knife.

"You want to know?"

At this moment, you rarely show some cuteness, looking like a naive and cute child.

You are immediately confused by the blade that is not familiar to you.

"Then, can you tell me, did Shizheng bring you something special?" You tried your best to open your eyes wide, and made a most innocent and pitiful look, "If we go to the Dark Fall Honmaru today, won't you be contaminated?"

Ichimonji Norimune was playing with his folding fan and didn't answer you.

Nanquan Ichimonji, however, had a good impression of you because of the dried fish he fed you earlier, so he poked his head out from behind you and said, "There are special defenses, and Shizheng has prepared some for you, too."

He shows you the Zushou hanging around his neck, which is very similar to the Extreme Zushou, but is light blue in color.

Hmm, this is what is interfering with the system's automatic signature, right? You kept smiling and quietly checked the system's defense instructions.

[Defense: Special defense developed by the Time Government. It can form a special barrier around itself to resist external pollution. The stronger the pollution, the shorter the duration. After equipping, it increases defense by 20 points and spirit by 20 points.]

Oh wow, what a great thing! It doesn't say that you can't stack equipment, so if you carry hundreds or thousands of them on your body, wouldn't you be invincible? !

You begin to think about the possibility of transforming Shizheng from a jam brewery into a professional defense manufacturer.

But now... hehe, Sumori is fine, and the next second is mine! With a fierce look in your eyes, you directly pounce on Nanquan Ichimonji and snatch Sumori away: "Give it to me!"

"Huh?"

Nanquan Ichimonji was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground by you. He stared blankly as Yushou moved from his neck to your hands.

“Well, don’t bully the younger generation, Master of the Shinto Observer.” Ichimonji Norimune took out the four guardians assigned by Jizheng from his pocket and walked towards you, “This is Jizheng…”

He sensed the chaotic spiritual power in Nanquan Ichimonji, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Eh? Eh? Me? Eh? Contract?" Nanquan Ichimonji kept flopping on the ground. He looked at Ichimonji Norimune and then at you, looking somewhat helpless and aggrieved. "So are you... the master now? Meow."

You stood up refreshed, turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Ichimonji Norimune, and said righteously: "Don't you want to know how Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi was contracted?"

"Well, that's it. Fully automatic contract."

"So now—" You looked toward the door and laughed strangely, "Come on, Blade! Take his Yu Shou away!"

The Ichimonji who was eavesdropping at the door pushed it open, smiled sheepishly, and then rushed towards Ichimonji Norimune without mercy.

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi saw the chaotic scene, turned his head away and sighed.

The current political situation was so fierce that the entire army was wiped out.

*

Ichimonji Norimune accepted the fact that he had an additional contract with him with ease.

"Well, we are just working for the current politics. After all, a sword needs a master." Ichimonji Norimune held up his face and looked at you with a smile, "My juniors and I don't have any special requirements for the judges. According to the procedure, whether this mission is successful or not, we will be assigned to this Honmaru."

Well, I actually wanted to go back and write a report to refuse this assignment, but Ichimonji Norimune saw something else from this special contract method...

Besides, he knows more about politics than the boring workaholic Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi. Rather than studying how to cancel the contract, they would rather see the government blade maintain a contractual relationship with the powerful judge.

Well, it can be considered as a way to tie the inquisitor to the political ship.

Since the Judge cannot be replaced, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be his first master after he obtains a human body.

After thinking this through, Ichimonji Norimune naturally began to exude his blade charm: "So, will the master be satisfied with us?" He moved closer, his eyes narrowed, "Do you like an old man like me?"

You looked at Ichimonji Norimune in confusion, then turned to look at Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi and asked sincerely, "Did this blade go into the sea before it came ashore?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi glanced at Ichimonji Norimune and showed a sarcastic smile: "Maybe it's a blade hobby. I'm not familiar with this kind of blade who often exudes charm to young girls."

You looked at the two who were having an eye fight again, walked over to Nanquan Ichimonji, ignored his protest of "Don't treat me like a cat, meow!", and started to stroke his head.

The other Blades who were eavesdropping remained very quiet until Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi suggested that only six Blades at most could go to the Dark Honmaru this time.

"All the blades on Shizheng's side must be removed." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, who was not originally on Shizheng's list, naturally added himself to it, "Three swords from this Honmaru can be removed."

Only Ichimonji Zemune looked at him and smiled without saying anything.

You glanced at the secretly competing Honmaru Blades, somewhat confused as to what they were arguing about.

"Tsurumaru is a full-level sword, plus, Beibei is an initial sword, plus..." You counted on your fingers, "There are only katana and katana in the team. We need a short sword with strong reconnaissance ability, excluding the blades that will be sent out for the expedition and the inner battle today..."

"Isn't it just drug research?"

Yaken Toushirou, who had known the result long ago, pushed up his glasses and smiled at the Vanquished.

"Then when do we set off?" You turned your head and looked at Ichimonji Norimune, "I can't wait... ahem, to complete the mission and save the political situation!"

Hehe, I can’t wait to get the new blade back.
