Chapter 25 Taking out a Mikazuki Munechika

25.

"What kind of meat is this?" Ichimonji Noriyoshi came closer with interest and poked the scattered meat with a branch he picked up. "Hmm? Can it still remain active after being separated from the main body? Nanhai will be interested in this..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Hearing this, you looked up blankly from where you were squatting beside the monster, touching its corpse and trying to find the reward. "You want to eat live meat?"

"Hey, you have such a strong taste."

"…Although I don't want to say this, the master's octopus balls don't seem to be that bland." Ichimonji Norimune's veins popped out on the back of his hand, and he smiled and put away his folding fan. "Also, can the master explain why he fights alone?"

Even if they didn't become your knife, they are still investigators specially sent by the government. Their original intention was to protect you. But the target of their protection turned out to be the boss behind the scenes without any warning. It's really...

They seem so incompetent.

"Huh?" What's he saying? Is the NPC's language system broken? Why is it just a bunch of gurgling tentacle meat morsels? You are even more confused, trying to guess what the NPC means, "You want to stir the tentacles with meat morsels?"

Ichimonji Norimune stared at you for two seconds, then stopped smiling and turned his head to shout, "Yakuken, come here."

"What's wrong?" Yagen Toushirou put down the piece of meat in his hand and walked over quickly. "What happened?"

"Let the judge check her out." Ichimonji Norimune looked unhappy, "She seems to have hearing problems."

"I understand." Yagen Toushirou took a deep breath, turned towards you, and said gently, "General, let me check it out."

You listened to the two people's mumbling conversation and became even more confused. What's going on? Is this some new type of encrypted conversation between knife masters? Why don't they take you with them when it's so fun?

bad!

Yagen Toushirou squatted down in front of you and gently held your face with his hands. You didn't understand why, but still cooperated with him obediently - mainly because you were afraid of being caught and forced to take drugs next time.

Yagen Toushirou's hands were soft, smooth and warm, without any knots, completely different from the hands of someone who often used a knife in real life.

The shell of your ear was gently brushed by his fingers, and it felt a little itchy. You couldn't help it, so you tilted your head and rubbed his hand randomly.

The latter's hand trembled slightly.

"…General, I'm sorry."

You still can't hear what they are saying, but now you realize that it's not the NPC's problem, it's your problem.

Bugs again? I'm speechless. No wonder you have such technical capabilities but are still a small workshop with no experience. It's only been a short time since the game was launched, and you've already encountered two bugs that give you a very bad experience.

With your mind controlled by Yakuken Toushirou, you are unable to send a warm and friendly greeting to the system elf. You can only stand there and wait for the other party to finish the inspection.

This is the first time you are so close to Yagen Toushirou.

“…So beautiful.”

You sigh out loud.

"What?" Yagen Toushirou was stunned for a moment, "General... are you talking about me?"

Seeing the other party's suspicious look, you were afraid that you might have answered in a low voice because you couldn't hear clearly, so you shouted in a very loud voice that the whole Honmaru could hear: "I say - Yaken's eyes are so beautiful!"

"As pretty as a violet—very fond of—"

I think I've praised someone's eyes before? Thinking that you can't be partial to one person, you move your eyes with difficulty and shout again: "The eyes of the one being praised - I like them too -"

As soon as you finished shouting, the system prompt popped up again.

[Correcting…]

[Errors have been fixed]

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was somewhere else before, and did not hear Ichimonji Norimune say that you had hearing problems, he only heard your "affectionate confession".

He bit a handkerchief that he got from nowhere, ran over quickly, hugged your fat little legs and howled: "What about me? What about me? Aren't my eyes beautiful? Doesn't the master like Crane? I'm going to make trouble! I'm going to run away from Honmaru!"

You twitched your leg, but it didn't move.

But you are puzzled by Tsurumaru Kuninaga's question: "Why would I bring you back to Honmaru if I don't like you?"

"Besides--" You grabbed the balls on Tsurumaru Kuninaga's uniform and said with a righteous tone, "As my property, where else do you want to run?"

You have long wanted to try out this kind of greasy and seriously ill bossy speech.

It's too embarrassing to say it in real life, but it's just right to say it in the game. As long as you don't react, the only ones who will be embarrassed are others.

Cool!

You smiled like the fat version of the crooked-mouthed dragon king, and spoke in a deliberately artificial bubble voice: "You are not allowed to leave the main circle without my permission. Do you understand?"

Humph, male blade, where else do you want to escape to except by Xiao Fei's side? In this game world, a blade that is favored by Emperor Xiao Fei will eventually return to Xiao Fei's side...

The theater in your mind makes you laugh, but it's a pity that there is no Blade here who understands you, otherwise it would be great if one of you could say, "Master, the escaped Blade has been hanging in the corridor for three days and three nights."

I just don't know if Tsurumaru Kuninaga is pretending or acting. He really put his face on your legs shyly and said in a pinched voice like Kitsunesuke: "Hate it~ This time, my blade will be the master's blade~"

You shuddered violently.

It’s better to ban Kitsunesuke’s fried tofu.

You thought blankly.

Such a small fox ate so much that the oil overflowed and infected the other blades.

Resolutely prohibit the phenomenon of oil transmission!

"Ahem... Admiral, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Yagen Toushirou came back to his senses from your "confession". The usually calm Blade suddenly became a little uneasy, with a little red still remaining on the tip of his ear.

"Nothing is wrong. It should be a short-term deafness caused by the explosion just now."

Haha, no. You looked away guiltily, probably because you wanted to let Mikazuki Munechika get the Houpo, and you got beaten when you tried to scam him, which led to the bug in the model.

Damn it! Even though you've adjusted your pain sensitivity to below 50%, it still hurts to be slapped away by those tentacles covered in eyeballs!

That feeling, it feels like an unprotected big toe kissing the door frame hard.

I was stunned!!!

Pretending not to hear the conversation between Ichimonji Norimune and Yagen Toushirou, you shook off Tsurumaru Kuninaga's hand, letting him roll on the ground with his blade, laughing, and walked towards the center of the meatball.

Other Blades search for the meatball to find the missing Mikazuki Munechika and to collect intelligence to write reports to the current government. But you are different, you are looking for dropped rewards.

Finally, you can discover the brilliance of the props hidden in the minced meat.

You reach into the largest pile of meat and try to dig: Hmm, eyeballs, throw away, eyeballs, throw away, meat, throw away... Oh! Hard stone! This must be a reward!

[You have obtained an important item: Strange Black Fragment (Large)]

Oh, the main story item... is gone? You spent so much effort to defeat the boss, but they only gave you a main story item? Where is the small change? Where is the new weapon? Where is the cool little pet?

Big loss!!!

You angrily pull your hand back... pull it back... huh? Can't pull it back? What grabbed your hand?

This scene looks like a scene from a horror movie, but you are now so frustrated by the dropped rewards that you are not scared at all by the unexpected.

You just reach back and pull the opponent out from the pile of meat.

"Mikazuki... Munechika?"

You squatted down and poked the dirty Mikazuki Munechika who was still naked. I thought the knife and the meatball disappeared together... Are they really two individuals? Parasitic relationship?

With such a poor physique, it's hard to imagine who is parasitizing whom. You pulled Mikazuki Munechika away again and found that his calf was still stuck to the meat.

The pulled piece of meat squirmed fiercely, and no matter how hard you pulled it, it held on to Mikazuki Munechika's leg tightly, as if it was born to grow on the other's leg.

"Hey, Mikazuki, are you okay?" Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada saw the situation and ran over first. He stood nearby, somewhat at a loss, "This... this, what should I do?"

Are you asking me? You don't know! You only know that this piece of meat is "eating" Mikazuki Munechika's health points, and the green health bar in front of you, which represents friendship, is gradually running out.

The blades that came later were divided into two factions. One faction was headed by the government blades. The blades you brought agreed to release Mikazuki Munechika's sword. After all, they didn't know if Mikazuki would get out of control again, and they needed to ensure your safety.

The other side wanted to fight again, pinning their hopes on current politics, hoping that the current politics would be able to save Mikazuki Munechika.

To be honest, you don't really want to give up this knife. You previously thought that the opponent was blown up together, but now you see that the blade can still be salvaged. You suddenly feel that the future of this blade is bright!

"...Well, all tangible things will eventually disappear, but it ends today."

Mikazuki Munechika pushed Izumi-no-kami Kanesada away and just as he was about to sit up, he noticed his lower body... He naturally covered his body with his tattered sleeves, looked at the government blade, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"The dark aura of this Honmaru is also dissipating. The dark swords other than mine will soon return to normal. They are just... implicated by me."

His tone became softer, as if he had already given his "last will".

"With Shi Zheng here, you will be able to reunite with your former companions soon..."

“Huh?!” you interrupted. “You mean, we should deliver these blades to your, uh, new Inquisitor?”

"No...Is it not possible?" Mikazuki Munechika was confused for a moment, "If it's troublesome, you can also tell them the coordinates of the new Honmaru..."

"I won't allow it!"

Why are you flying away with the duck you got? You can't fly! I'll give it back to you! Besides, this dungeon doesn't have any special drops, and you want to give your guaranteed reward to the plot?

"If we save Mikazuki, the other blades will follow Mikazuki to my Honmaru, right?"

You turned your head with great momentum and asked Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi.

The latter hesitated for a moment and nodded: "...maybe?" Anyway, the government's blade has already been used and there is no turning back. The current political situation will not care if there are a few more knives, right?

"You... really have a way to save Mikazuki?" Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada's eyes lit up.

“…Is there?”

You haven't practiced it.

But you'll die if you try, and at worst you can cry and threaten the system to let you go back in time again... Ah, are you doing the same as the Time Travelers? Are you changing history?

Never mind, you can collect knives anywhere. If the Time Travel Army popped up now and told you that you would get a gift pack of a full knife account if you joined the other side, you would definitely run away without looking back.

Kitsunesuke seemed to have said that the life of a sword depends on spiritual energy... so this piece of meat is eating spiritual energy now, right? As long as Mikazuki Munechika's sword doesn't break, the piece of meat will keep eating.

Thinking about it the other way around, just strangle the piece of meat to death.

This method is free and easy, and you feel like you are a genius at solving problems!

You put your hand on Mikazuki Munechika's arm and consoled him: "There may be adverse reactions later, just bear with it."

The three knives, who probably understood what you were going to do, looked away at the same time.

I hope Mikazuki Munechika won’t vomit too ugly later.

"Oh, seeing your face..." You are so close to her, seeing her high-definition face, you are mesmerized and murmur, "You are so beautiful, I feel like I can forgive everything."

Except that the props don’t drop.

Hearing this, Sanren suddenly turned his head and stared at Mikazuki Munechika fiercely.

My hope was wrong.

Now Hope Blade is in trouble.
