325.

When Natsume returned to the classroom, before he could think of how to explain why he missed a few classes today, he found that no one in the classroom noticed that he didn't come at all.

All the students' attention was attracted by the big detective who asked for leave a few days ago because he was involved in a certain case. The big detective finally returned to school, and was immediately surrounded by curious students, even though the case was kept secret. It was an agreement that nothing could be revealed, and these students also chatted with Kudo Shinichi endlessly, as if this would make them different as well.

Such a scene made Natsume, who harbored a secret, breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after that, the students who couldn't talk about the case began to chat about the new students, and the fact that these two new students and the freshmen in the next class were absent on the second day of school.

"You mean, they are all surnamed 99?" Kudo Shinichi asked with interest as if he had discovered something.

"Ah, yes, 99 Onimaru, 99 Higakiri, the ones in the next class seem to be Tsurumaru and Kneemaru, strange names." A student next to him replied.

"Hey, are you really from Tokyo?" Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, "Sword culture has been popular in Tokyo since 500 years ago, as a native of Tokyo, sometimes I know more about the history of swords than Sengoku The daimyo of the period should be clear, have you not noticed? Onimaru, Higiri, Kneemaru, Tsurumaru, these are the names of swords!"

"Huh?! Really?! No wonder I feel like I've heard it somewhere..."

"Speaking of me too, I always thought I heard it on TV such as finance and economics. After all, that 99-kun, oh, I'm talking about the one named Hikakiri, said to be another 99-kun's retainer. .”

"In modern society, there are still people who say that they are retainers..."

"I think it's true..."

"Really?! I thought they were playing house."

"That's not the point." Kudo Shinichi sighed. Has everyone's history been learned in the garbage dump? "Isn't the point that the lord of Edo 500 years ago was named Onimaru Kuninaga? According to legend, he was the descendant of Token Fusangshin and Genji's daughter. His retainers were all named after swords, and they were almost named because of these names. The siege later led to the popular sword culture and the beauty of the sword in Edo, didn’t it?”

"Ah... yes..."

"But what does it have to do with new classmates?"

"You wouldn't say that they are Onimaru-kun who traveled to modern times, right? Hahaha..."

Natsume glanced sideways at the classmate who was guessing wildly, and silently decided to keep a low profile in the future.

"Idiot, how is it possible! I mean, don't you think that 99 is very similar to 99 gods? The castellar happened to be said to be the descendant of Fusangshen. 99 Onimaru and Onimaru Kuninaga... and Hikiri-komaru, These two knives are very famous. Hikekiri is the most famous one called Onikiri, which is the knife that cut off the arm of Ibaraki Doji; Kagemaru is the famous knife that cut down the soil spider, called Spider Kiri. They are both belonging to Genji's swords were forged in the same period, famous in the same period, and made by the same swordman. In human terms, these two swords can be called brothers. As for Tsurumaru Kuninaga, it is not like the first two swords. There are well-known anecdotes, but the most interesting is that during the Warring States period, the city lord named Onimaru Kuninaga and the samurai named Tsurumaru Kuninaga are said to have exactly the same appearance, and it is said that this warrior was a shadow warrior of Onimaru... and Historically, Tsurumaru Kuninaga once had the name Onimaru..." Kudo Shinichi recalled the various texts and biographies he had read.

Because Edo Castle, including the castle tower, experienced many fires, many precious cultural relics and written records were burned. Only some folk legends have been handed down, so there are not many records about the mysterious city lord. Instead, Ieyasu There are many things about this legendary city lord written in the relevant records of the Duke. Under the influence of Ieyasu's reputation, the related deeds of the city lord have been passed down from generation to generation.

"No wonder... I didn't care because they have the same surname. Speaking of which, Onimaru-san does look the same as Tsurumaru-san next door, but Onimaru-san has white hair, and Tsurumaru-san has black hair."

"I-I-I! I noticed! And Onimaru-san's eyes are gold, and Tsurumaru-san's eyes are red!"

"Ah! I also noticed that not only Onimaru-kun and Tsurumaru-san, but also Higakiri-kun and Kemimaru-san next door are also twins. They also look alike."

"Eh?! I didn't see it, Hikiri-san is like a soft little animal, the one next door—cough, sorry, there are too many 99-kun, I don't know who is called 99-kun. That knee Maru-kun, his feeling is completely different from Hikiri-san..."

"...Now that you put it this way, I think Hikiri-san is quite similar to Kemaru-san."

"And Kemimaru-san is still called Hikiri-san 'Anija'! What era is this? Did he think he was performing a Taiga drama?"

"I think this name is quite in line with their setting. For example, the lord and retainers who travel through time and space? Pfft!"

"Look the same? Are they all twins?" Kudo Shinichi felt as if he had noticed some important clues, but the lack of strong evidence made the facts fall into a certain fog.

"Could it be something wrong?" Mao Lilan looked at Xinyi with pure doubts, "The new classmate is a relative of Yuanzi's family, it shouldn't be..."

"This is it!" Kudo Shinichi grabbed Xiaolan's shoulder, "Conclusive evidence!"

"what?"

Oops, Oops... Suzuki Sonoko, who has been silent all the time, who is completely opposite to the usual look of swaying when he sees a handsome guy, shrinks his neck. Oops, this detective poisoned patient seems to have reasoned out... She will be asked later What about lying?Or firmly refuse to admit it?

"The Suzuki family has been said to have taken root in this land before Lord Ieyasu came to Edo, and has a complete family tree and family inheritance. The Suzuki family even said a long time ago that they are the descendants of Lord Onimaru's retainers... Kudo kept his hands on Mao Lilan's shoulders while reasoning.

Suzuki Sonoko has already started looking for opportunities to sneak away.

"As the descendants of the retainers, I would never allow my relatives to do such an insult to the ancestors." Kudo Shinichi raised his lowered head, "There is only one truth! That is, in the eyes of the Suzuki family, they have Qualified to be called this name! Who is qualified to be called by the name of their ancestor master? It must be the true descendant of that city lord!"

"Think about the battle between the city lord and Lord Ieyasu about Edo Castle... It's normal to change your surname after you disappear... Swords and swords are the opposite of human beings. The last name is the last one, and the first one is the first name. It makes sense to change the name like this. It's..."

"That... Shinichi," Mao Lilan blushed and looked at the face of Shinichi who was close at hand, especially Kudo Shinichi was still the person she liked, "You, can you let me go..."

"Hmm... um? Woohoo!!" Kudo Shinichi removed his hands from Xiaolan's shoulders as if he had been electrocuted, and his handsome face couldn't help but flush, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Hahahaha..." The surrounding classmates laughed kindly when they saw the shyness of the two of them.

Natsume, who was reminded by the cat teacher and almost didn't understand Onimaru's real identity, saw Kudo Shinichi's difficult reasoning process and smiled, and decided to walk around this high school detective in the future-feeling too much contact, even if he is cautious, he will be rejected. See the clues!

Even if the other party can't see the monster.

It was horrible.

And Kudo Shinichi, who was kindly laughed at over there, was already planning to sneak to the staff room to find out the home address of the new classmate, in the name of sending class notes!

The descendant of the mysterious city lord in history... I'm really curious.

However, Kudo Shinichi who went to the villa did not find anyone, and the entire floor became empty with Onimaru's departure, and no blade cared about this empty new house.

After all, for them, only the place where the master is is the safe place for the sword.

326.

Onimaru, who didn't know that he was about to be exposed at school, returned to Shizheng. He patiently processed some urgent documents from Edo Castle.

This part is a document for screening and arranging the settlement of certain political personnel in Edo Castle.Whether it is in political affairs or swords, these are information that need to be kept secret. Whether it is a sword that hates human beings or a human being who wants to seek benefits, it is too dangerous for these political personnel who are testing the waters.

And all of this is just out of Onimaru's selfish desires.

After comparing the situation in the 21st century, with the constraints of the current affairs, it is Onimaru's selfish desire to tie the current affairs to the Warring States Period, or even make the current affairs disappear in the Warring States Period.

Although the disappearance of Shizheng also means the end of Touken Ranbu, Onimaru also believes that even if Shizheng is disbanded, this kind of usage of swords will be handed down. At that time, it depends on whether he moves quickly or some warlocks in Shizheng The action is fast.

Of course, in the eyes of those high-level officials who knew about this matter, things may not be like this. They just thought that after Onimaru became a god, their intimacy with human beings faded, but they were still reluctant to part with the Edo Castle that they built by themselves. It is better to give it to someone who does not know or let Edo Castle fall into a war for power than to give it to someone who is highly educated and knows everything about current affairs.

Onimaru doesn't care about this castle that is destined not to belong to him, but he can't help but care about the sword that was sacrificed in the search for Diablo Honmaru, just...

"No one will mourn the sword, even if we have the appearance of humans, it will not change the fact that we are not human." Standing behind Onimaru, Ishikimaru spread his wide sleeves, covering Onimaru's sad face Under the green cloth, "Besides, for us swords and spirits, Broken Knife is not the end. Broken Knife just allows us to wash away our memories and let the original spiritual power return to our own spirit. As long as there are human beings who need it again, We can be summoned again."

"I know..." I know that swords are not afraid of broken knives, and I also know that Japanese samurai advocate death without hesitation or fear.But if you know it, you know it, Onimaru understands that the swords summoned again are not these broken swords, not to mention that the spiritual power brought by these swords from the main body has not returned to the main body at all, but has been absorbed and consumed in that formation , completely disappeared from the world.

[It’s nothing, it doesn’t hurt to break it like this, and I know, they feel very happy to be able to break the knife for you. ] In the consciousness, the voice of Yaoyanbenling sounded.

Unlike the spirits who have a strong sense of presence and talk a lot, the spirits are mostly taciturn. Most of the time they just watch quietly from the sidelines, like an ordinary knife. Their presence is so low that sometimes even Onimaru will forget it. them.But when Onimaru needs them, the souls are the most active. At that time, they are completely bloodthirsty weapons. They scramble to show their mighty power on the battlefield, and they prefer to be used by powerful people.

[Yes, we are all very happy, or rather, I finally came in handy. 】Goto Toshiro made an akimbo in Onimaru's mind, 【Treat me like a little one, I will be angry! 】

【Well... instead of being sad here, why don't you hurry up and wake up that Dadiantai, he is different from the one who had 13 younger brothers to help support him, but he has really lost a considerable part of his essence. 】Zong Sanbenling's tone was a bit sleepy, obviously he was a little concerned about the fact that his spirit base collapsed after only less than half an hour in that formation.

Onimaru blinked his eyes without water vapor, took a deep breath, he was indeed sad, but in the final analysis, those swords did not stay with him for a long time, and they were not broken in front of him, he was not so sad that he really cried out the point.

【Yeah, we know. ] The soul of Mikazuki touched Onimaru's head, 【The human who repeated why and how all the broken swords came to subjugate the team is not you, the human who proposed to hold a funeral for the broken swords is not you, It is not you who wants to ban all subjugation team swords from dealing with Diablo Honmaru's investigation because of a broken sword. 】

【You are just losing your temper right now. ] Tsurumaru Moto added the last sentence with a smile.

Onimaru: Okay, you can shut up now.

"If you want to conceal your identity as a human, please be patient." Ishikimaru bent slightly, staring at Onimaru with parallel eyes, "We are very happy that you value us so much, but humans do not miss swords, swords are more We will not mourn the same kind, and collecting the remains of the same kind is already the greatest condolence we will do."

"...Sorry, I'm self-willed." Onimaru adjusted his expression, suppressed the sadness and empathy in his heart, and regained his expressionless expression.That's right, they don't care about swords, why is he rushing to the funeral?What's more, after the sword is broken, there will be no fragments left, and there is nothing to bury in the funeral.

Instead of having that time, it is better to think about how to strengthen the sword. Since there will be a dark fall in this pill, it generally means that there is a reason in this pill that the swords can only curse indignantly, but cannot do it. This reason may not be because of the sword. Failed by different masters.

Ishikimaru suddenly clenched his hands, "...please don't say sorry to us."

"...Huh?" Onimaru, who was thinking about how to strengthen the sword, didn't realize it for a moment.

"It's my fault." Ishikimaru stood up and laughed, "We always want to impose our own opinions on you, so we make you back down again and again, so that we unintentionally wronged ourselves, but we still end up I blame you for not trusting us. But I never thought that all the pressure and distance were filled by us bit by bit..."

"No, wait... can you stop adding drama to me? I can't bear it..." How did this topic suddenly turn here?you are not!What have you figured out?Did I do something to misunderstand you again? !

"Do as you want, I will notify Hasebe, it's just condolences, and it will be arranged soon." Ishikimaru showed a sad and guilty smile, turned and walked towards Hasebe's dedicated office.

"Wait!" Reflexively grabbed Ishikimaru's sleeve with one hand, Onimaru looked at the action-oriented Ishikimaru in bewilderment, didn't you just dismiss this thing?Why did you go back on your word?And I think there is really nothing to do to express condolences, but now you are doing the opposite?Can you keep going so fast? ? ?

"I don't know what you've imagined. In short, I'll go to see Dadian Taihe first episode first, and I'll pay my condolences. After that, I will go to the residence room where the swords are released to explain the situation to their families, and then there will be more about the crusade. There are a lot of things to do about the reorganization of the team and the report submitted to the current affairs, and I don’t think I have the energy to do other things.” Loosening Ishikimaru’s sleeves, Onimaru told him calmly: “If you have time, go and help Hasebe counted the wishes of all the swordsmen in the crusade team: those who want to stay, those who want to fight, those who want to find a new god judge, and those who want to have a little time to buffer before thinking about the future. After that, the crusade team I will rely on this questionnaire to divide the reorganization, and I will leave it to you.”

Leave immediately.

——He was afraid that something would happen if he didn't leave again!

And Ishikirimaru looked at Onimaru's straight back with a sad expression, clenched his fists again - what a good boy this is, as a sword, he should unconditionally satisfy all his requirements, but in the end, they It was only when he wronged himself that he realized that it was they who took away his freedom and happiness.

Onimaru: I really... Whether it's condolences or comfort, isn't it your sword who comforts you?Why does this condolence now seem to be for me?Seriously, those broken swords are really not me!Talking about how the sword got to the crusade team... Isn't it normal to recall who exactly this sword is?After all, there are so many repeated swords in the crusade team; the funeral condolences are to appease the brothers who broke the swords. After all, am I the real owner of these swords? It would be even easier not to let the crusade team out. If Tsurumaru hadn't run away this time, the sacrifice rate of this mission would have been scary, and this is probably not an isolated case. If you find a problem and don't make corrections, is it a joke with your life? !

But why did things change in your eyes? Damn!

327.

Onimaru, who thinks Toukenshin is like a needle under the sea, came to his room in the crusade team. Speaking of which, this is the second time he has come to his room in the crusade team.

This room is actually a small apartment, with a bed, a kitchenette, a super comfortable reception room, and a small viewing balcony. Since Onimaru has only used it once, there are all daily necessities here, without a trace of dust .

Apparently there is often a blade for cleaning.

Onimaru found Tsurumaru who came first with a knife in the kitchen.

"...What are you?" Onimaru looked at the scene in the kitchen and said in a daze.

"Huh? I can tell by looking at it. Making desserts for you may require a lot of spiritual power in a while. It would be better to eat some desserts to replenish." Tsurumaru gestured to the pudding, cream, and jam in his hand.

"I'm not asking what you're doing, but why are you wearing a nude apron?!" Onimaru covered his face.Not to mention, it's still a pink apron!Black hair, red eyes, white skin is indeed pretty, but with a pink apron...

"How? Are you scared? But your apron here is this color, which also scared me." Tsurumaru spread his hands, and turned around in front of Onimaru, feeling very good about himself.

"Put it back on for me!" Onimaru threw his coat forcefully onto Tsurumaru's face!

328.

"..." When Yiqi Yizhen woke up from the sword, he still couldn't tell where this place was. When he saw Onimaru's face, he smiled softly, put the sword on his waist, and half-kneeled on the ground Holding Onimaru's hand and sticking it to his face, "I am Ichiki Ikshin. The only sword made by Yoshimitsu Awataguchi. Toshiro is my younger brother."

"Master, I am finally your knife."

Patting Yiqi Yizheng's head, Onimaru turned around and began to prepare to wake up Odenita, who was seriously damaged, and he even asked Odenita's soul to help.

"...One of the five swords in the world. Dadian Taiguangshi. Won't you seal me?"

Just like the first issue of Yijin, Odenita woke up still a little confused, then looked down at Onimaru in surprise. Unlike the first issue of Yijin, he didn't know that Onimaru was a human being, but now he has signed this contract from Seimei. After the contract, he who can intuitively feel the essence of Onimaru still doesn't understand.

This human...is really amazing.

Thinking of this, Diantai raised his hand, paused, and then slowly put it down.

Onimaru thought that Noriya was going to pat his head, but...

Forget it, if you don't touch it, let me touch your head.

Onimaru, who was patted on the head, was a good-tempered Ren Guimaru, and he rubbed Onimaru's palm cooperatively, "You have a powerful power that can control me."

The former owner of Odenita used too much spiritual power when summoning him, and mistakenly believed that the spiritual power needed to keep Odenata active and out of battle was more than that of ordinary swords. The reputation of the sword and the status of a rare knife just resell him to the black market.But even in the black market, Dadian Taiguangshi's powerful and lingering spiritual power makes those human beings with dirty hearts afraid.Dadianta has been changed hands and sealed several times, and he has almost no hope of being used by humans again.

So I am very happy that my new owner is you.

Smiling and watching for a while the new colleague and the master exchanged feelings, the first episode patted on Odenata who was bending over to cooperate with Onimaru to touch his head, and when Odenata stood up straight and looked over, he motioned for Odenata to sit on the small sofa .

Then push down Onimaru who was about to go back to the room to rest for a while!

Onimaru, who fell into Daidena's arms:? ? ?

"Master." Yiqi threw Onimaru into his arms and hugged him directly between him and the sofa... Well, between Odenita on the sofa, he also wrapped Onomiru's arm around Odenita's arm to calm him down.

"Uh, huh?" For some reason, Onimaru suddenly recalled what Ishikimaru had imagined before, and suddenly felt very... guilty.

... What a guilty conscience!I did nothing wrong!

"Master likes us very much." Yiqi Yizhen looked at Onimaru's avoiding gaze, "You can see your love for us from many things, but we have never felt your possessiveness."

"Human beings will have possessiveness, jealousy, and grievances towards human beings. We are so frank and intimate with each other, but you have never had any desire for us." In the first issue, he moved closer to Onimaru, and he was so perfect as a sword man. The pore face and Onimaru's illusion-covered face are so close that you can feel each other's breath and heartbeat,

Yizhen believed in the seduction techniques of his colleagues, but also believed that his master had no strange illnesses. There was only one answer. This human being has very strong self-control, and never felt that he could do whatever he wanted to them.

"So that's why you guys keep seducing me?!" Onimaru's eyes widened in disbelief, what are these swordsmen thinking!

"That's right. Apart from slashing, that's all we can do. According to those experiences, this kind of behavior should be the behavior that can most stimulate human's desire to dominate." It's a pity that they all failed.

"We hope that you can dominate us and get satisfaction from it, instead of being pushed forward by us."

That's what Yizhen said in the last episode.

"Uh..." Onimaru hugged such a big pile of Yiqiyi that was nestled in his arms like a child, patted his back comfortingly, looked at the sky with blank eyes... the ceiling.

What the hell are these? !Doesn't he still command these swords?Work in Edo Castle, current affairs, Wanwu's monitoring, going out to battle, and taking care of his daily life... He has to do these things one by one by himself, and he must not be exhausted to death!So most things are actually done by the sword, isn't this called use? !

Of course not, they are all dispensable tasks. If they don't do it, others can naturally do it, or simply discard this useless task.One period, one strike, or what all swords are pursuing is not this dispensable need, but the need to hold a knife like a human being, the trust in the hand's knife, the need for a weapon in battle, and the The persistence of not letting go of the knife in the hand at all times... that's all.

This is the need and peace of mind that Onimaru, which treats them as equal beings, cannot give them.

An independent Onimaru, an Onimaru who doesn't understand Bushido, and an Onimaru who lacks a sense of security will not give their lives, dignity, and safety to other beings.

"Hey... what do you want me to do?" Touching Yiqi Yishin's head, Onimaru felt that he was not hugging a sword, but hugging a coquettish girlfriend or his own child who was worried about you.Onimaru sighed, from this point of view, the plan of these swords is actually a success, right?

They had succeeded in getting him to accept them.

"Then let's do something that only trusted family members would do first." Yiqi lifted his upper body up, looked at Onimaru with a gentle smile on his face, "For example, start by giving us your underwear to wash?"

Onimaru: "..."

Don't even think about it! ! !

The author has something to say: Dadian Tai Mitsuyo: Who am I?where am I?What happened?This is the world outside the warehouse?The world is so strange, I want to go back to the warehouse... QAQ

Onimaru: Be good. (Finally there is someone more ignorant than me)

First issue, one shock: Be good. (The master seems to like Odenita very much, let Odenita also participate in the action, first start teaching from serving the bedroom?)

Dadianta:? ? ? (behind cool)
