Chapter 70: On the Eve of the Final Battle! Following Aurora...
After walking for a while behind Aurora, Reborn, who had been out for four of the past five days, finally realized what Aurora had just said.
"Hey, good afternoon, Aurora. It's rare to see you at this time. What are you doing?" The woman holding a dustpan looked at Aurora who was dragging an unknown creature, and waved her hand happily.
"Good afternoon, Sister Xiaomei. The tools that Aunt Mae-yashiki made for us have been forged. I was just planning to go and take a look." Aurora was still dragging Scarlu.
"I see. I heard from Tetsuzo next door that you all came from other places. No wonder you're curious about these things. People in our village have been used to seeing them since childhood. Oh, oh, oh, oh." Nozawa Ami laughed heartily, then asked with some confusion, "Then what are you holding in your hand...?"
Aurora's expression remained firm, and she replied without blinking, "Oh, this is my brother who's not very intelligent. He heard our sword was almost finished, so he got up this morning in a hurry to check it out, and ended up accidentally falling. He still wouldn't give up..."
Aurora deliberately brewed her words, waiting for the listener's emotions to reach their peak before saying, somewhat aggrievedly, "I'm not very strong, so I can only take him to see it like this."
Skarlu, whose mouth is covered: ...Slander! This is pure slander! Master Skarlu is not that kind of person! Don't believe her!
"So that's how it is. You're so pitiful... I have some freshly baked pancakes here. If you don't mind, you can have them." Nozawa Xiaomei looked at Scarlu with pity, which made him feel hot all over.
"Hey! Thank you, sister~" After gaining 30 points of satiety value from Shaobing and letting out a breath of anger, the aura around Aurora became noticeably more cheerful.
This joy was reflected in her subsequent actions - in addition to her voice becoming sweeter when speaking to Nozawa Saki, Aurora began to greet everyone she passed by with great energy again.
"Good afternoon, Aurora. The weather is nice, come out and enjoy the sunshine." The sturdy young man spoke enthusiastically to the black-haired girl, his eyes filled with affection for her and his love for the fields. "It's because of you that my dying fields have been revived. Come over to our house for dinner when you have time!"
He completely ignored Scarlu who was still struggling in Aurora's hands.
Then comes the next one, oh no, this time it’s the next couple.
"Good afternoon, Aurora. The flower-growing skills you taught me are really amazing. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to ask Meiling out. Thank you so much! Please accept these gifts!" The man who was immersed in love held his partner, who was blushing and had obviously just gotten married, with one hand, and stuffed the gifts into the hand of Aurora, who was reluctant to refuse.
…
…
Even though they only encountered four or five groups of villagers, after Aurora finished her series of greetings, forty minutes had passed since they left the house - the swordsmithing room that used to take fifteen minutes to walk to was now just within reach.
But Aurora's hands were already full of rewards, and there was no room for improvement. In order to get the gifts that the villagers gave her, she had even let go of Scarlu and put aside her goal of killing the whole village.
However, judging by Scarlu's expression, it must have left a deep impression on him, one he'll never forget. Reborn, who was the last to enter the swordsmithing room, clicked his hat and thought so.
…
"Sorry for the long wait. I've been dealing with some minor matters." The player walked in first, looking refreshed. He looked at the blazing furnace in front of him, poked Willdi, who looked a little cold because he was absorbed in calculations, and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Willet said nothing, just kept typing on the keyboard.
Player: ...?
My goodness, the green-haired man who always grabbed the players and scolded them now doesn't even move.
"Possessed?" The player's face was filled with horror.
"Forget about him. It looks like Willdi is immersed in his own research again. He won't be able to come out for an hour or two." Lal Milch raised his eyes and covered his forehead with a headache. "He simply doesn't believe that the swordsmiths in Sunforge Village can forge a knife in five days."
"So, he asked the knife makers a lot of details, saying that this was unscientific, and then it turned out like this," Coronillo continued.
"So that's how it is." The player nodded. "Although it's a bit unexpected, but when I think about that person being Emperor Will, it feels somewhat expected."
Seeing Colenelo's confusion, the player kindly added, "This totally fits his mad scientist persona! Compared to the fight he had with me before, this is nothing."
"Wildi has fought with you before?" Colonello's eyes were full of gossip, but he was caught off guard by Lal Milch's elbow.
"Shut up, Colonelo. You are a guy who is always a little stupid." Lal Milch frowned, closed his eyes, but still couldn't help but move his hands.
"Is this the time to talk about this?"
"Yeah, yeah, Sister Lal is right~~, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later." The player pretended to be well-behaved in front of Lal Milch with Colanillo's incredulous expression.
Lal Milch: "...Forget it." Aurora's attempt to pretend to be good was not to the point.
"Huh? You're all here? Aurora, you're here too?" Maeyashiki Hideki walked out of the busy studio wearing a sophisticated work suit.
"Auntie in the front house, how is our Nichirin Sword now?" The player looked at the house in the back, looking forward to it eagerly.
"The penultimate step is complete." Maeyashiki Hideki called out to his friends and took out all the swords. "Now all you have to do is sharpen them yourself."
"This is yours, lovely Aurora." Maeyashiki Hideki smiled and handed the sword case to the little girl in front of him, whispering, "I remember it. It's the only knife that needs engraving. Right?"
"That's right!" The player took a quick look at it. From the appearance, it was almost exactly the same as she described. There were even four words "Evil Ghost Destroyer" engraved on it in sharp handwriting!
"Perfect! Thank you, Auntie Mae-yashiki!" The player spun around happily.
The others who got weapons from the swordsmith were also very satisfied. They had their weapons in hand and had also found clues about the Ghost King.
Next, they have to discuss how to kill the target of their mission in Japan this time - the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji!
at the same time--
late at night.
Just as Reborn expected, the frequent collection of clues about the Demon King had made Muzan Kibutsuji, who was extremely cautious, clearly aware that something was wrong. With PTSD, the fastest choice he could make was to gather all the subordinates who had sucked the Demon King's blood and were transformed by the Demon King himself, except for Burentaro and the nameless cannibal who died!
There are a total of ten subordinates, and they have the same names as in the original world. They are the first Upper Moon, Nagatsuki Keijin, the second Upper Moon, Uto Ayumi, the third Upper Moon, Uchihara Yuina, the fourth Upper Moon, Iritani Toru, the fifth Upper Moon, Kataniwa Kazuya, and the sixth Upper Moon, Kuma Saaki.
As well as the first waning moon, Ishimine Shinki, the second waning moon, Io Toshimi, the third waning moon, Hisatomi Hitoki, and the fourth waning moon, Yama Toshiyuki.
The Japanese-style room has a stagnant and suffocating atmosphere.
"Except for Bu Rentaro and Shiroka Masa, those two weak guys are already dead." After summoning all his subordinates, Muzan Kibutsuji informed them of the news.
"What useless trash! I gave them both so much blood, yet they still couldn't defeat them." Although Muzan Kibutsuji looked like a child at the moment, his expression was extremely mature. "That's fine, but they even leaked a lot of secrets."
"Two pieces of trash, and I have to deal with them personally." Muzan Kibutsuji's meaning was very clear, the useless trash must die.
He sat on a high seat, his eyes bloodshot and cold. Although he looked weak, his aura made his subordinates lower their heads without any resistance, not even daring to have any extra thoughts - after all, their king was a king who could control all the thoughts in the minds of his ghosts!
Couldn’t the death of those two lower moons be the same as their own tomorrow?
"Those two idiots are dead, but they left behind such a huge mess to deal with." Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes revealed a deep sense of disgust. He still didn't know how those people knew his name!
Those humans who possess the power of flames of various colors always remind him of the same group of people... They are so familiar to the ghost that it makes him sick!
Muzan Kibutsuji looked at his silent subordinates and felt a little dissatisfied - although the quality of this group of cannibals was good, they were still not as good as the batch he had converted before.
But now we can only recycle it.
"Find those people who are collecting information about us. Whether they are killed directly or transformed into demons..." Muzan Kibutsuji stood up, turned his back to them, and said in a calm but bloody tone, "I don't want to hear about them investigating demons."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Muzan!" The ghosts lowered their heads.
"Except for Upper Moon Three, everyone else please go down." Muzan Kibutsuji raised his hand, and except for Upper Moon Three Uchihara Yuina, all the demons disappeared in this Japanese-style room in an instant.
…
Uchihara Yuina lowered her head subtly and said respectfully, "Lord Muzan."
"Yeah." Muzan Kibutsuji responded indifferently.
"Remember this well, my name here is Iwamatsu Toshikuni. You should stay near the Iwamatsu family for the time being, Uchihara." said Muzan Kibutsuji.
The Iwamatsu family is the most powerful of the many small families controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji. After Muzan Kibutsuji merged these small families together, the members of the Iwamatsu family naturally became the ones who clearly controlled this considerable power.
The current patriarch of the family is the previous patriarch of the Iwamatsu family - Iwamatsu Kenzo.
"Your ability will come in very handy." Muzan Kibutsuji said in a rare gentle tone. He was very satisfied with the power of space.
"Yes, Lord Muzan." Uchihara Yuina said.
