The Tale of Genji

"So... because of this, was he captured by those monsters?" Yuan Boya asked.

Minamoto Raimiko: "That's right."

Cannibalism is the fastest way for low-level monsters to become stronger, but for high-level monsters this road is too slow, so apart from hobbies or occasional early adopters, they will not actively hunt, but Will prefer some food that can make them stronger faster.

It was for this reason that the monster captured Sanjo Sokami and ordered him to forge a knife for himself as food.

Originally, it was impossible for this kind of trivial matter that happened in a remote place to reach Yuan Laiguang's ears.

After all, that place is a bit far from Ping'an-kyo, and the person involved is not a nobleman, but a well-known swordsmith, and no one would care if he disappeared.Minamoto Larimitsu will find out that this is entirely because she wants to send her junior brother who went out to eliminate demons with her, so she took a detour——

As long as something happened, it will definitely leave traces, not to mention that the place is remote, even the monsters don't have much knowledge, and they don't know how to cover up what they do, but everyone knows about it.Just passing by, I heard many rumors.

Evil monsters must die.

In line with this belief, Minamoto Larimitsu immediately picked up the monster's lair with a knife, and did not forget to set fire to it while cutting the monster.

According to Sanjo Zongjin's eyes, the situation at that time was completely different.

That day was no different from ordinary times, and he was still forging numbly.Maybe it was because he had endured too much torture. When the fire started, he didn't even want to run away. Instead, he felt that it was not bad to die in this sudden fire.

Before being burned by the flames, he saw the light of the knife first.

A knife split the flames, and a young white-haired samurai stepped out holding the knife.

His face was solemn and indifferent, and the little red on his forehead was even more vivid than the flames.What he stepped on was the blood and wailing of monsters, like a puddle of mud.

And he descended to the world like a god of war in the sky, majestic and pure, untouched by dust.

That's why, it was Abe Seimei who helped save him from the sea of ​​flames, but Sanjo Sokami recommended himself to Minamoto Raimitsu.

Minamoto Raimitsu, who was recommended by himself, did not refuse. Excellent swordsmiths are scarce resources anywhere, and the more such as Sanjo Zongjin, the better, and this is still free.

It just so happens that Genji has recently retired several swordsmiths and is in urgent need of fresh blood——

It's decided, let Sanjo take over the job of the swordsmith who retired last month!

Young Master Genji's action power has always been amazing, and it is even faster after making a decision.Sanjo Zongjin had just followed her to Heian-kyo, and Sanjo Zongjin had reported to the Minamoto swordsmith gathering place on the back foot.Because of the recommendation and arrangement of Minamoto Yorimitsu, rumors spread that "Minaramoto Yorimitsu got a new capable swordsmith".

Cough, it's a little bit of a stretch, let's bring the topic back, and continue with the Sanjo Zongjin's Monster Den Chronicle mentioned earlier.

"There is no way for monsters to understand human beings. Sanjo was required to forge day and night. Although his own skills have become more exquisite during this period of time, the long-term high-intensity labor has also made his body It's almost devastated... If it continues like this, it will probably die in two months at most."

"Perhaps for the sake of his previous labor, the monster will not throw him away casually, but maybe eat him."

"But." Yuan Boya said loudly, "But, if Brother Lai Guang took action, he is safe now, right?"

"This is a matter of course." Minamoto Larimitsu said as a matter of course, "There is no monster in this world who has the guts to make trouble in the place of our Genji clan."

Because anyone who has the guts to do so has been hacked to death.

Also died very badly.

This sounds really handsome.

Yuan Boya was obsessed with it for three seconds, and then asked again: "What about the monster? Brother Lai Guang, you killed him too?"

He was absolutely sure.

After all, they also grew up together, although they are natural, but this does not prevent Yuan Boya from being aware of his brother's style of work - Shikigami is very useful, but all monsters that cannot be driven by Shikigami should be killed, and dead monsters are the only ones It's a good monster.

It may be extremely difficult to find any monster alive under the young master Genji.

What's more, it is such a dangerous monster, there is no possibility of being let go.

"Wrong guess - the monster is still alive." Minamoto Raimitsu denied his younger brother's conjecture, "Bo Ya, if you are interested, you can take a look when you go to Sanjo later."

Yuan Boya uttered a questioning monosyllable.

Minamoto Raimitsu: "That guy Sanjo said that the monster ate so many of his children. Although it is mass-produced so the quality is average, it is not a masterpiece, but it is his hard work anyway. This loss must You have to find it on the body of the monster. It just so happens that its material itself is still usable, and I’m planning to use it to forge knives.”

Yuan Boya: ...

It is not uncommon to use monsters as materials for something, and this kind of thing is not uncommon among the group of onmyojis, and Yuan Boya has also seen it.But a swordsmith who doesn't understand these things in the Sanjo sect can think of this——

"Sure enough, angry people are scary."

The red-haired young man came to this conclusion cautiously.

"Do you still want to visit?" Minamoto Raimiko asked.

Yuan Boya hesitated for a moment, but finally his desire for weapons overcame his hesitation, he nodded and thought about it.

"Then go." Minamoto Raimitsu said gently, "You decide the time, Boya."

Yuan Boya: "Anytime?"

Minamoto Raimitsu: "As long as it doesn't conflict with other things."

Yuan Boya: "Can I take Kagura with me, Brother Laiguang?"

"Of course." Minamoto Raimitsu readily agreed, after all, she is a brother who dotes on her siblings, so naturally she would not refuse such a small request. "If Kagura wants to go together, then go."

So this was settled.

Minamoto Raimitsu sat with Minamoto Boya for a while, taught him some deficiencies in martial arts, and then walked back to his yard.

The residence of an onmyoji is of course very dangerous for people who come here uninvited. After all, this is their living place. If you can't make yourself feel safe here, then you are too incompetent.

Minamoto Yorimitsu could easily walk to the inner house of Abe Seimei's house before, partly because Abe Seimei just moved, and a series of measures have not had time to rearrange.On the one hand, it is also because they are very familiar with each other, Abe Seimei's brain has not yet turned the corner, and the basic precautions have not been improved at all, and they still have no response to Minamoto Raimitsu as before.

Just like himself, he was not on guard against the young master Genji who came to visit.

After all, he can even deliver the key to his own life to Minamoto Raimiko.

Although the situation had to be like this at that time, when he left Genji, he didn't want to come back... In short, Minamoto Raimitsu has nothing to say except the word silly, white and sweet.

Only Seimei Abe would do such a thing.

Too naive to believe in the friendship between them.

Thinking that each other is the same family and partners who grew up together, or the only people in the world who can understand each other, this relationship will not be shaken by the change of position.

In this regard, Yuan Laiguang’s evaluation is:

A young man who is not deeply involved in the world probably needs a severe beating from indifference to the world.
