Chapter 61 Understanding What's Wrong with Everyone
61.
In the dark room, there is only a candle on the table, burning quietly.
"Now is..." Smiling Qingjiang laughed strangely in the deadly lighting of candles, "time for in-depth exchanges... I mean the ghost story conference."
"Wow, what a scary atmosphere. General, can I hold you in my arms?" Shinano Toushirou's face was filled with excitement. "If I hold the warm and soft General, I won't be scared, right?"
"Hey! Shinano, you're too cunning! Don't run away!" Rantoshiro quickly joined the battle, "When we watched a horror movie together a few days ago, Shinano didn't seem scared at all."
"But ghost stories are different from horror movies—"
"I... I also want to hug my master... and... the little tiger..."
When there was an internal conflict within Toushirou's family, Sayo Sawamonji and Imakaki naturally took the positions on your left and right.
"I understand the reason..." You stroked your chin, looked around the room, and finally looked at Xiaomian Qingjiang. After thinking for a while, "Why are there so many people? Didn't we agree that there would only be five or six people?"
Most of the Honmaru is almost here.
"Well, we should give Shinren a chance to integrate into Honmaru." Tsurumaru Kuninaga hangs down from the beam with a smile on his face. The moment he meets your eyes, he says with a resentful tone, "Master - why didn't you call me for such a fun thing? If I hadn't been spying on what the master was doing, I would have missed it -"
"Peeping, huh? Tsurumaru-dono said peeping."
"Let's fill up Tsurumaru's upcoming roles..."
"Are there any hand-in-hand arrangements? Give me one."
You push the sticky bird sword away and say in disdain: "Because you lose a lot of hair after you become extreme, can you learn from other bird balls? Speaking of which, if you lose so much hair... you won't become bald, right?"
"Eh?! Wouldn't I look more like a crane when I'm surrounded by white feathers? Master, have you given up on cranes? Sob, sob, you were calling me Sweetie before you got the Blade House, but after you got it, did you become a bald crane?"
Sayo Sawamonji pushed you back and took out a dagger: "Master, do you want revenge?"
…
"Anyway..." You coughed, "Let's start the ghost talk first. In order, let me see... um... the first one is... Shui Xinzi."
"Oh, is it me? Am I the first one?"
Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu, who had no idea that he was the first one, was in a panic for a while, but then he remembered that the light in the room was dim and no one in the sword might notice his panic, so he forced himself to calm down: Well, we must maintain the style of the ancestor of the new sword!
"My...my strange story is..."
Is it because of overtime work on current affairs? Oh no, I have been working on current affairs before. Are there any weird things in current affairs? Does it count if the senior executives have an inexplicable odor?
"My ghost story... My ghost story is...!" Shui Xinzi Zhengxiu's eyes had turned into mosquito coils, and his brain had been mixed into a ball of paste. He opened his mouth and spoke without hesitation, "...One day when I was handing over work at the Current Affairs Hall, I suddenly found myself floating in a strange posture and was quickly transported to Mr. Sasakawa's car. I thought it was a ghost incident, but it turned out that the master was stealing the blade. It was so despicable. Why did the master carry me? Now the image of the ancestor of the new sword is completely gone..."
"Haha, Shui Xinzi and I were both shocked at that time." Yuan Qingmao patted his partner's head to help the downed knife man restart, "When I turned around, I found that the master was carrying Shui Xinzi and ran away."
"Now that I think of it..." He smiled, "My strange story is that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up with Mr. Sasaka's car, and I could only watch Shui Xinzi being kidnapped... Well, is this scary?"
The other Blades were silent for a while, and began to whisper to each other: "Is it scary? Why do I feel it's not so bad..."
"The Changyi Hall was also taken back by the master. I heard that the process was much more horrific than this..."
"After all, he is the master... It would be normal for him to usurp the throne and become a high-ranking official someday, right?"
"It's better to eat secretly in the kitchen. It's scary to eat raw materials that haven't been processed by the owner."
"...Did you steal the ingredients that the master disappeared last time?"
"No, that's nothing. Ah, now it's time for the Tombstone Cutting, right?"
"Me?" Honmaru's rare serious old man rubbed his cheeks uncomfortably with his fingers. "... Strange story, I haven't encountered it, but I had a strange dream a few days ago."
"Dream?" Youren asked curiously, "What dream?"
"It's just a piece of rock candy." Tombskiri breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, this is a piece of rock candy, not a piece of rock candy. Everyone is talking about a piece of rock candy in a piece of rock candy. Whether it's a piece of rock candy or a piece of rock candy, everyone is talking about a piece of rock candy. I'm in a piece of rock candy, and I don't understand what a piece of rock candy means at all."
"...Actually, I didn't quite understand what you meant by genbingtang."
"Me...me too."
"Then...then I also have...a strange story..." Wu Hutui said nervously, "Before...before, when I went to the bathroom at night, I saw a green will-o'-the-wisp in the courtyard..." Thinking of the scene at that time, Wu Hutui's voice was filled with fear, "But...but when Xiaohu and I went back and called the last person, the will-o'-the-wisp had...disappeared..."
"But later..." He hugged the little tiger tightly, his voice trembling, "At night I always saw... green will-o'-the-wisp... floating around in the courtyard..."
"Back off...back off. Why didn't you tell...tell us before?" Rantoshiro grabbed Shinano Toushiro's arm tightly. "Is...is there really a ghost in Honmaru?"
"No." Wu Hu Tui shook his head and said shyly, "It was the master who got up in the middle of the night to sharpen the knife."
"Oh, it's the master. The master's hair glows... Wait, a forge?!"
"Has the master already tired of us? With us around, do you still want other swords?" This is the blade that started to howl.
"Collecting swords... is also a manifestation of the pursuit of power..." This is the blade of resentment.
“So what? No matter how new a sword is, it’s not as useful as me!” This is a blade that shines with confidence.
"No... not that..." Wu Hu hesitated for a moment, "The master is... sharpening her weapon, the knife."
Now, all the blades in the room are pointed at your waist.
Fortunately, it was empty. Zhongren heaved a sigh of relief and began to be proud. What? It seems that the master doesn't like the new weapon very much. Sure enough, the master's favorite sword is still them.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
You are still wondering why half of the Honmaru ghost stories are related to you... Is the forge something strange? Why are all these NPCs looking at you like this? Isn't it normal for a blacksmith to be able to make his own weapons after reaching a higher level?
Oh, they want to see your new wives, right? Not impossible, look at the bunch of wives you just trained yesterday.
"This is the Tengu Sword!"
“Tengu…Tengu?!” The little Tengu was seriously injured by the sword.
"This is the Samamonji! Isn't it cool? I've never seen this sword recipe before... but it's cool, isn't it?"
The Sawamonji family fell to the ground and could not get up.
"This is the Dabao Ping Kai! I like this scabbard, it's cool."
"What?! Da Baoping's knife is not like that... Ugh, Nimenfang Kaiwo...!!" Da Baoping was forced to keep silent.
"This is Murasame! It seems to be a demon sword as well?"
"Oh? Huh, hh, demon sword? Master wants to take off with me..."
"You can't take off your clothes here!"
Tonkiri dragged away Sengo Muramasa, who had taken off half of his clothes.
You wanted to continue introducing your wives, but Xiaomian Qingjiang came over and covered your mouth: "Ah, too many is not good... I mean the master's weapons."
The smiling and frightened man looked at you: "Master, let's continue with the Monster Talk Conference."
"Oh, that's right."
You nodded and carefully put the wives back into your backpack. Your deputy level is not high enough now. One day, you will be able to make all 108 wives and then sleep with all of them in your arms!
*
Really, haven't many of these knife-wielding masters killed ghosts, monsters, spirits, and animals? How come they are like this after just hearing about the 4xx bus from Kisaragi Station?
You sighed, turned on the light in the room, looked at the frightened Knife Demon, shook your head and blew out the candle.
At first, the swordsmen just wanted to cooperate with you and set the mood, but who would have thought that the stories that came out of your mouth were more and more terrifying? Especially when you felt an extra hand touching your neck while washing your hair, a flash of eyes passed through the gap of the curtain, and you lived on the top floor but heard the voices, laughter and footsteps of people on the upper floor...
He...they have only been sword babies for less than a year!
The first to faint were Mizushinko Masahide and Dabao Ping, followed by the usually quiet and introverted Blade, and then the short sword and the fearful one... Carrying the hope of all the Blades and slaying the ghosts, Smiling Aoue persevered to the end.
But when you walked over, you found that Ren's eyes were still open, and his soul had been gone for a while. The ghost lady living in Xiaomian Qingjiang's eyes even came out to greet you, and then kicked Ren down rudely and with disgust.
Smiling face to face, join the army of the dead.
"Oh, is the master here?" Toyozen Jiang opened the door and noticed the blades lying on the ground. "Huh? What happened? Are we playing the game of pretending to be dead today? Everyone is acting so well."
“I don’t know.” You stood up and blinked innocently, “Today is the ghost story conference, they seem to be scared.”
“Eh——”
Toyozene, who had just arrived, was confused and wondered if the blade of Honmaru was too timid. The young master was not scared, but as a sword, he was scared in front of his master because of a fake story. This is really...
"Then, Master, do you want to go for a ride with me?" Toyozen smiled brightly, "No matter where you want to go, I can take you there."
Ah... you smack your lips. Every time you see Lida smiling happily with his white teeth bared, you can't help but want to smile too. Is this the charm of Captain Jiang//?
"Okay." You paused for two seconds, "How about a car race?"
"Racing?"
"Don't look at me like that. I'm a 20-year veteran driver." You said seriously, "I can steal Sasukuni's car and compete with you."
…
The result was that you and Toyozene were speeding in Honmaru together, and both of you crashed into a pond. In the end, you were taken back by Utase Kanesada and Kote Kirie respectively for a lesson.
"Really? I've told you so many times, Master, you can't drive in Honmaru. You can get hurt easily!" Kasen Kanesada muttered as he cleaned up your messy room. "Master, are you really not going to try on other clothes? We bought a lot of cute little clothes and they've been piling up in your closet."
He opens your closet door and tries to seduce you with a row of gorgeous and cute little skirts: "Master, look..."
Before Kasen Kanesada could finish his words, a book with a colorful cover rolled out from the closet.
"A fairy crane reflecting the moonlight at night..." He subconsciously called out the name on the cover, "Black-hearted Grandpa x Absolutely Praise Black Crane... R18..."
Looking down, Utsusemi Kanesada saw what might have taken Honra three minutes to successfully identify: the □□ version of the domineering Mikazuki Munechika and the shy-looking Tsurumaru Kuninaga embracing each other, with a pink love bubble that made the blade feel cold in the background.
The purple hair-fu savior screamed like a sugar-free purple sweet potato bread: What the hell is this?!
As if he had touched something dirty, Kasen Kanesada threw the notebook away.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at you who looked away guiltily, then looked at the notebook which was still colorful. Then he stood up silently, opened the door and walked out.
"Song... Song Fairy?"
You cling to the door frame in a daze, stick your head out, and watch the back of the song fairy Kanesada Kurao leaving: What...what's going on? Will the impact of BL stories on NPCs be so great?
A few minutes later, there are several more blades in your room.
“Bang!”
"I found this in the master's closet."
Kasen Kanesada slammed the evidence of your crime on the table. He looked at Candakiri Mitsutada and said with great sorrow: "Mother of the child! What should we do?"
"Haha..." Cangdaikiri Mitsutada smiled tolerantly, "This one has nice colors."
He looked at Yiqi Yizhen again: "The kid's brother, you take care of him!"
Yiqiyizhen pointed at himself hesitantly and said, "This family play...should I also participate?"
Hasebe, who didn't get a role, looked at Utsusemi Kanesada expectantly.
Kasen Kanesada was silent for two seconds: "...Child's dog, get out, you are not welcome here."
Seeing this scene, your mind automatically plays: Hey, little Niki, what are you doing here? You are not welcome here, dance.gif, dance.gif. There is a super cool Inquisitor raid here, and guess who can't participate - you!
However, after Yasuke Hasebe got the status, he began to smile uncontrollably, muttering to himself: "Hey, I am the master's dog... I also have a status... Master... I also have a place in the master's heart! Don't worry, master, even if I am a dog, I will be your most loyal dog!"
"What about me?" Guijia Zhenzong twisted in his seat, "What am I? A dog? I can do that too..."
"A plaything... I mean a rope." Xiaomen Qingjiang looked at the publication on the table, "So that's it... Do you think I'm a criminal?"
"No." Kasen Kanesada crossed his arms, "This is the master's book, no doubt. But you are familiar with the place where Wanwu sells such... such unrefined things, right? Tell me..." The Elegant Blade slowly drew his sword, "Let me cut down the store that sells copies to minors."
"…Why are you arguing? It's just a small matter." You stopped Kasen Kanesada from moving and calmly took out another stack of books from your backpack. "We are gathered here today just for Xiao Fei's book. Xiao Fei has wanted to understand everyone since he was a child. What's wrong with understanding everyone better through the book?"
You threw the book away, opened the door, and gave a fat smile to the eavesdroppers outside the house.
"This is a rare opportunity. Let's read Watasi's book together and get to know each other better."
