[Touken Ranbu] Book of Famous Items

The present world is a dream, but night dreams are true.

The present world is a dream, night dream こそまこと.

■

The first feeling upon waking up is cold.

Tokugawa pulled up her clothes, trying to make herself warmer, and then, realizing the discrepancy between the environment and her memory, she opened her eyes wide and woke up as if being poured over her head by a bucket of cold water.

Not in Honmaru.

The unfamiliar environment clearly demonstrates this fact.She clenched her fingers, took a deep breath, and began to look around.

In front of you is a Japanese room about the size of twelve bamboos.The white mats on the wall are in sharp contrast with the edge of the dark wooden frame, and there are bookcases and filing boxes placed in the backlight.She took out a few volumes from a height that was easy to pick up, and the difficult content made her frown immediately.

"Golden Chamber Sutra", "Cardinal Sutra", "Shen Shu Ling Jurisdiction", "Six Secret Teachings".

There are not only classic books on Yin-Yang Dao such as the Three Classics, but also books on the art of war hidden by the shogunate of the past dynasties, which reminds people of the mansion of the legendary Onmyoji Ghost Yifayan in the Yijing Biography.In addition, the music theory books and literature reading materials on the lower floor of the book shed also show signs of being flipped through and annotated.

How should I put it, a noble family, no, the feeling of a child of the Wu family.Be it yin and yang art, art of war, or music theory, they are all practiced out of interest and talent.The reason is that although the furnishings in the home are simple, the specifications are very high.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ri looked down at his clothes again.

The white and blue hakama made of silk is very similar in appearance to the maiden's white and scarlet hakama, but it feels lighter and more comfortable to wear than the maiden uniform provided by the time government.The clover family crest embroidered with gold thread on the back of the sleeve proves that the owner of the body has the same surname as her, Tokugawa.

(On the bright side, at least for the time being, I don’t need to worry about food and clothing.)

Standing on the spot for a while to sort out his mood, Tokugawa Li let out a breath slowly, and put the book in his hand back into the bookcase.

(Heavy in his bosom, is there something in it?)

After calming down a bit, more clues were brought into perception.

Reaching into his arms, Tokugawa took out a pocket knife with a black sheath and a closed mouth. The dragon-shaped eyes flashed by light on the shark-black handle looked familiar.

"Wuji...?"

"Yes! It will bring you luck."

There was silence and a second person's voice suddenly sounded in the room.Tokugawa Ri turned his head, and saw a young man with thin fragrant hair in the room, whose appearance was exactly the same as that of Monoyoshi Sadamune from Honmaru, and his cheerful expression and clear voice were exactly the same as her memory.

"..."

As if he didn't expect to get a response from her, the boy stood there for a while, and asked hesitantly, "Could it be that you can see it?"

Hey, didn't he always talk unilaterally before the original owner couldn't see it?

Tokugawa blinked, stared at him speechlessly for a while, and said calmly, "Fusangshen of the sword?"

Although his appearance was exactly the same as that of her Honmaru's Monokichi, the boy in front of her was not wearing a delicate western suit with a white background and gold trim, but an Edo-style Japanese costume, and he spoke as if he was being seen for the first time.After thinking about it, it is better not to mention the experience in Honmaru, but to talk first.

"Yes……"

The young man answered immediately instinctively, and then, as if he had finally come to his senses, he knelt down in front of her and sat upright, with his hands in front of his knees, and bowed his body to salute: "I'm here for the first time. I'm Wuji Zhenzong, although There is no name, but there is a saying that if you take me to the battlefield, you will win, it is a sword that Ieyasu-kun attaches great importance to."

"I have served your family for generations, and I am grateful for the care of your family. Please allow me to serve you and bring you luck."

At the end, the mood recovered, and Wu Ji had a cheerful and bright smile on his face again, showing a natural closeness to her.

◇

After talking for an afternoon, Tokugawa roughly understood his situation.

In short, the place she is in is a parallel world similar to the Edo period in the orthodox history, but there are monsters, gods and demons rampant.The inheritance law is similar to that of the Nara Dynasty, and all children have the right to inherit titles and property.

Compared with the official history of women's inconvenient activities, this kind of enlightened and equal environment should have made her breathe a sigh of relief, but the actual situation is just the opposite. The direct descendant of the governor of the family family——When he learned this fact from Wuji, Tokugawa Li's eyes went dark, and he almost lost the strength to stand up.

The so-called Owari Tokugawa family refers to the branch of the Tokugawa family, the family of the Owari feudal lord, commonly known as the Owari family or the Oshu family.

During the era of Tokugawa rule, the Owari family, as the head of the imperial family, enjoyed the highest family status among the daimyo, second only to the Tokugawa shogun's family (zong family) in charge of the shogunate.

According to Tokugawa Ieyasu's will, when the direct line of the shogun's family is cut off, a man must be selected from the Owari family or the Kii family to succeed the shogun.However, among the fifteen Tokugawa generals, there was no general who was born in the Owari family with the highest order, because the Owari family themselves faced the problem of extinction for almost every generation.

Almost from the fourth generation of Owari feudal lords, no matter whether the feudal lords or heirs, none of them lived long.Even the Takasu Matsudaira family, which was split off, was the same.Although most of the records left in the official files were due to illnesses and food poisoning, the frequency of accidents was so high that no one with a normal IQ would believe that it was a pure accident.

Assassination against the heir with the right to inherit.

Basically it can be concluded that.

(I thought he was a child from a rich family who had no worries about food and clothing, but because of his high family status, he had to do his best to survive, which is really ironic...)

"My lord, is there something wrong with you?"

Probably seeing that her complexion was getting worse and worse, Wu Ji, who was kneeling quietly and serving at the side, couldn't help asking, his expression full of worry.Tokugawa regained his senses for a while, calmed down instinctively, and calmed down his subordinates: "It's okay."

After a pause, he said again: "I don't need you to do anything for now, go down and rest."

She wanted to check the house alone and see if she could find any more useful clues.

However, upon hearing her words, Wu Ji was at a loss at first, and then became a little flustered and helpless: "Does the lord don't need me?"

Useless things are discarded by their masters.

This kind of understanding is deeply engraved in the heart of every item, even if it becomes Fusangshen, it will not change in any way.

"With Lord Master's strength, it's true that you don't need luck to solve it beautifully, but, but..."

"No, I need both luck and good luck."

This is out-and-out, and there is no half-word false truth.However, do you want to let the other party know that you are telling the truth?

Staring at the boy Wakisashi who has served Owari's family for a while, Tokugawa Ri made a decision: "I can't use Onmyojutsu these days, and the security work depends on your hard work. Is there any problem?"

"Eh!?"

◇

A complete showdown and confession of things from another world is of course impossible.

But Tokugawa Ri thought it was necessary for Mukichi to understand the current situation.

Judging from the orthodox history and Wuji's reaction when he first met her, Wuji should have been in the hands of the head of the Owari Tokugawa family before, and was passed down from generation to generation as the head's protection.

So, why should it be handed over to her, or the original owner of this body?

The answer is that her father, head of the Owari Tokugawa family, thinks she needs this "sword of victory".

"It's time to go to work, but there are rumors of evil spirits on the road that must be passed, and His Highness Weizhou is also very distressed. Cha la——"

Mukichi knelt beside Tokugawa Ri, crushing the light brown walnut shells one by one with a nutcracker.Edo people think walnuts are too much work, so they generally don't eat this kind of nuts, but Tokugawa Ri, who is full of conspiracy theories, thinks that the pulp wrapped in the shell is difficult to be poisoned, so he uses it instead of dinner.

"I'm full. Eat the rest."

"Is it really okay to eat so little? Or let me cook a little for you, uh..."

"Participation is a major matter, and there is no room for negligence. I agree with His Royal Highness Weizhou's approach."

After stuffing the whole piece of walnut meat into the mouth of the young man, Tokugawa Ri wiped his hands with a towel, and behaved calmly and elegantly: "Don't worry about the military law office, we will set off tomorrow."

The relationship between the shogun and the daimyo is delicate. On the one hand, the shogunate needs the support of the vassals to maintain its rule. On the other hand, the vassal state is too powerful and will suppress the shogunate in turn. Therefore, the generals of all dynasties like to find excuses to reduce the daimyo's territory.

The Owari family, as the shogun's relatives, is an important pillar of maintaining the Tokugawa regime. The shogunate's situation of finding fault is far less than that of other feudal clans.

As for her own position.

As she had guessed beforehand, although the original owner of this body was named a strategist in the military law office directly under the general's family, he mainly relied on his family background to make a living. The note to ask for leave was just handed out to the superior in the afternoon, and it was approved in the evening.

"But my lord, if you can't use yin and yang techniques, it's too dangerous to retreat and cure the wronged souls."

"If His Royal Highness Weizhou has a more suitable candidate, there is no need to send you here all the way. Besides, I didn't intend to use Yin Yang at all."

After a rough search through the collection of books in the house, the main ones related to Yin-Yang Dao are divination, calendar calculation, and practical Yin-Yang arts for exorcising ominousness and curing ghosts and gods.It is speculated that her actions are mainly based on strategy, and Yin Yang is only used to assist in divination.

"The work of guarding and guarding is entrusted to you. As Zhenzong's most powerful masterpiece, your ability should not only bring luck. Don't think about the rest, just leave it to me, I will use it The tactics solved it beautifully."
