As we all know, winding zero is a human being

"I am going to do good deeds every day starting today."

[...Hey, host, the system does not have a recording function, please don't use the system as a vlog without authorization, okay? ]

"From whom?"

[Hey, hey, is the garbage host listening to the system? ]

"I found a wild lone Hyakkimaru!"

[What is the unfolding of this treasure X dream? ! ]

The sky was covered with the last layer of bright colors, and Hyakkimaru was sitting alone under the eaves wiping the blade hidden in the left prosthetic limb, and the children who had nothing to do were playing in the open space in front of him, which softened the boy's expressionless face Plated with the color of the setting sun.

To be honest, Xiaozhu is the guardian who takes care of the children while playing, and takes care of Hyakkimaru by the way under Dororo's entrustment. The older boy takes on the role of the elder brother, playing around It is unlikely that children's exclusive bamboo will be involved.

The physically handicapped children didn't seem to be very confident. After Ling complained bitterly that children didn't know such things as bedtime stories in this cruel era, he told them carefully with Mio's slightly worried expression. A couple of stories that fit them perfectly.

"It's my turn to be the captain today, Hanako, you go to the navy!"

"I want to be a swordsman—"

"Brother Hyakkimaru is suitable to be a swordsman, can you learn the three-sword style of brother Hyakkimaru? You want to be a swordsman?"

The traditional pirate story seems to be mixed with a strange Neptune character design. Zero refuses to admit that he didn't remember much of the plot and told it randomly. It's just that the children surprisingly like this story that they have never heard before.

It turns out that severed hands and feet can also be turned into courage and medals. Even Xiaozhu is thinking about whether to find a suitable piece of wood and cut it into a hook to replace the prosthetic limb he is still using.

Zero visually measured the appropriate distance and sat down next to Hyakkimaru. Hyakkimaru, who was wiping the knife, paused for a while, and continued with the movements in his hands.

"Very good, the distance of two meters is also within the acceptable range of Hyakkimaru, and I am not hated as expected."

The disassembled prosthetic is placed next to Hyakkimaru, which is a puppet's arm. However, after the prosthetic is installed, the joints are flexible like a real arm. Zero really wants to use it to discover the principle of it. This kind of thing is also in modern times. High technology that benefits the whole society.

He secretly wanted to reach out to reach the prosthetic for a closer look, and just as he was about to touch the prosthetic, the blade of Hyakkimaru happened to stand right in front of his eyes.

"Goo." Zero withdrew his arms in a gesture of surrender.

When Mio and Dororo came out with their dinner, they saw the two staring at each other with a bewildered and awkward atmosphere.

"Brother Ling is going to mess with Big Brother again." Dororo raised his head and waved his hands, the corners of his mouth unstoppably raised, "Sister Meixu, what do you think Brother Ling is trying to do?"

"Little heartless." Zero wrapped his arms around his chest, and his legs were dangling on the porch, "Look, Hyakkimaru's prosthetics are so useful, if you can find someone who can make prosthetics for your brother , won’t these children also recover their health?”

No one would have thought of this before opening her mind, but after she opened her mind, Mio looked at the children in the yard, and almost dropped the dinner in her hand.

"Okay, that seems to be the case!" Dororo tapped the palm of her hand, and she easily took Hyakkimaru's prosthetic limb into her hand under the signal of Zero's eyes. A little helpless.

"But big brother is not very good at talking now... eh?"

Under the gaze of several people, Hyakkimaru slowly wrote a few words with his fingers on the ground.

"Hyakkimaru...this is the name of the big brother...Shoukai?"

After writing, Hyakkimaru stretched out his hand to Dororo. Dororo tilted his head to understand for a while, and returned the prosthesis to him.

Hyakkimaru straightened his own broken foot, which was tied with a blade, and at the same time shook the arm holding the prosthetic limb.

"Is this name the person who made the prosthesis for Hyakkimaru?"

After pondering and remembering this, the scope of the Daigo country is not large. Dororo told Zero that she met Hyakkimaru in the territory of the Daigo country before, and then went with him to kill ghosts and gods and never left the Daigo country.

Then there is a high probability that this skilled craftsman is also in the Daigo country now.

Before the end of autumn, Hyakkimaru beheaded the demon who had once taken the oriole and took his leg under the sword. After recovering from his injuries, he took Dororo and chose to bid farewell when the first mountain flowers bloomed in spring.

Hyakkimaru, who couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, spent a winter learning to sing that song.

I remember that the weather at that time was sunny, and the water from the creek was introduced into the few rice fields that had been reclaimed. Mio tested the water temperature, and she cultivated the rice seeds into seedlings.

The land they found was unexpectedly not far from their neighbors, and Ji Guoyuanyi would bring poetry to help them transplant rice seedlings after his own field was planted.

"Hyakkimaru still has unfinished missions, but if you feel tired during the journey, please go home and rest."

Mio said goodbye to Hyakkimaru with a smile, or she had never cried before, the mountain flowers bloomed delicately in the morning light, and the red flower was picked up by the young man and tied up on Yiren's black hair.

After the busy spring plowing was over, Mio used similar words to bid farewell to Zero who had been staying here for a long time after recovering from a broken bone.

"I will come back without Miss Mio's orders." Ling Qian said before Mio, he stroked Xiaozhu's tangled hair, and made a promise with the children, "When I come back, I will take care of it better. Things, and then help everyone bring back the craftsman who can make prosthetic limbs!"

Xiaozhu grabbed his hand and said seriously, "A liar will swallow a thousand needles!"

"...Ah, this is a bit serious, Zhu."

The always stern teenager grimaced at him, and the kids swarmed up, each giving him a parting hug.

The long-delayed journey finally started again. One of the fork roads under the mountain leads to Yamashiro Junior High School, and the other is the direction he came from.

"The first thing to do when you leave the house is to go home."

Now that his upper limit of physical strength has recovered a lot, when he is thinking about something, the scenery during the journey will become a hasty passerby. If he wants to go to the territory of the successor country, the fastest route has to pass through his own home, wearing a bamboo hat for the time being. After covering his face and returning to the Shitou family's territory, Ling didn't intend to stay for long.

However, as soon as he stepped into the city where the atmosphere seemed to be a bit weird, soldiers stationed there immediately stopped him.

After confirming his eyes, the soldiers stationed still had the Bian Hua family crest that Shi Tou's family was not very happy with. During his absence, the entire city had not been renamed after the war disasters.

It seemed that a loyal soldier was holding his hand with tears in his eyes: "Master Man, where have you been all this time?"

"...?" The script was developed too casually. When Ling just wanted to say that the Tou family was fortunately not involved in the war, why does it sound like his elder brother is the missing Yazi? !

"I obviously wore a bamboo hat, how did they recognize me?"

[Host, you forgot to switch the channel and just said it——]

Hearing him admitting this fact as if he had blew himself up, the soldier didn't care about the person and tone he used as if he was speaking to an invisible person: "Your father is the master of the family when the master is still alive. Forged by an adult, as long as it passes through my eyes, I will definitely not admit my mistake."

Well, what a microscope player.

Wait, when the Patriarch was still alive...?

Zero feels that some things have exceeded his expectations, but knowing that there are only a few people in the entire family set by the twins of Shitou's family, he can't ask too much about this soldier who regards him as Shitouman .

"...Let's go back and talk about it."

From a few exchanges, Ling only got the information that Shi Tou's Patriarch was cold and Shi Touman was missing. With the principle of saying less and making less mistakes, he just asked the soldiers to tell him about the recent situation in the territory.

The soldier conscientiously recalled some of the things he knew happened during this winter, but there was not much information in the stumbling content.

There was still a street away from the most eye-catching mansion in the city, and Zero led the soldiers into a street.

"I don't want to go back with a lot of fanfare - I just have some unassuming things to do when I go out this time. You must not destroy my plan, you know?"

The serious posture he raised did seem to be a bit of an appearance, and he eased his tone and promised the soldiers that he would not leave again.

The entire mansion seemed to be much quieter, and there were far fewer servants in the rush. After entering the mansion, Ling went straight to his own courtyard. The familiar maid in the courtyard that had been empty for a long time was doing daily sweeping.

The shadow cast by the feathers fell under the tree in the courtyard. The maid raised her head, and Ling jumped down from the tree like a bird. The wooden basin filled with water in her hand was also knocked over in the courtyard in fright.

"...Master Zero?"

She didn't know whether it was worry or joy, Zero and her looked at each other, and the two silently stopped talking at the same time.

The room that belonged to him was still spotless, and he felt that it was not safe to close the paper door. The maid brought him tea and shook her head gently.

"Master Ling, don't worry, I'm the only one who will come to this courtyard after Miss Lizi gets married."

"That's it... Please, please tell me what happened at home after I left."

The maid seemed to know what he wanted to know, and trivial matters did not appear in the follow-up conversation.

After Lizi married Yan Sheng of Jiguo, Shi Touman met a beautiful and down-and-out noble lady in the process of patrolling the territory with his subordinates. Before coming, she became the young master's wife.

However, good things never come in pairs. Patriarch Shi Tou, who was able to kill a tiger with his bare hands before winter, caught wind and cold, and died of illness on the coldest snowy night in winter.

This reason does not seem to cause much disturbance in today's era, but the subsequent development made the situation of the Shitou family suddenly worsen.

"And seven days after the funeral, Young Master Man and his wife disappeared together."

"……elopement?!"

The melon seeds I brought at some time turned into dog food, and suddenly they didn't taste good at all.
