The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Wei Gong reached out and gently caressed the candlelight, unable to help but sigh.

This wasn't raising a daughter at all, but manufacturing a "tool" or a "sacrifice."

Any normal person could sense that the incident of Chun Ji stealing offerings might be a conspiracy by that Lilliputian official, and Chun Ji's father might not have been unaware of this.

However, in his heart, Chun Ji, who mingled with the commoners (Yamato Mikoto and others) outside, was already a failed product.

The truth of the matter might not be so, Wei Gong was speculating about the unmeet 【Sanjo】 family nobleman with the greatest malice.

"I'm sorry, I've heard of the name 【Kujō】."

It sounded somewhat ironic, the young lady of 【Sanjo】 knew less about 【Kujō】 than Wei Gong did. He at least knew the responsibilities of 【Gojō】 within 【Kujō】, and that 【Kujō】 actually only had 【Hachijō】 left, the 【Rokujō】 clan had already been wiped out.

Wei Gong spoke words that might be considered "disrespectful" in 【Far East Country】.

If she said such things in front of her father, the consequence wouldn't be as simple as being expelled, she would definitely be executed immediately.

"But, but… Father, he can't kill Wei Gong-sama…"

"It is Wei Gong-sama, who has the ability to kill them…"

Whether it was the 【Sanjo】's guards, her father's body double, or himself, Wei Gong-sama could easily defeat them.

Therefore, she gradually became less afraid.

"I know… I know a story about 【Gojō】."

Wei Gong said this, and upon hearing 【Gojō】, Chun Ji curiously perked up her ears.

"【Gojō】 are the 【Guards】 of the Far East Country, they are the order of the Far East, the guardians of 【Justice】, the entire clan, regardless of gender, is graceful and beautiful, adorning the cherry blossoms of 【Far East】… that's how it appears on the surface."

"But in reality, the real 【Gojō】 is just a dirty 【Anbu】."

Because of the incomplete education she received since childhood, Chun Ji always revered 【Sanjo】 and 【Kujō】.

And if 【Sanjo】 and 【Kujō】 were correct and great, then she, who was abandoned by her family, was wrong and lowly… Chun Ji always had this logic.

"I hope senior doesn't mind."

Chapter 90: Wildflower.

However, it didn't seem to be blaming Wei Gong for "insulting" the name of 【Gojō】.

Instead, it was saying: "【Gojō】, this kind of foolish idiot family, scold them fiercely!"

Wei Gong introduced:

They single-handedly took on the most unsavory work in the Far East, which even ninjas couldn't hope to match, becoming the embodiment of sublime yet defiled, dead cherry blossoms dancing in the night and darkness.

It is a poison called 【Kihana's Poison】, a venomous substance as beautiful as words. Those who cannot withstand this poison will be eliminated, and only those with the minimum qualifications will survive.

However, compared to the criminal familia that Chloe called "hell", the methods and goals of 【Gojō】 are even more disgusting.

The daughters of the 【Gojō】 family drink a poison that penetrates their bone marrow, and the continuously accumulated 【Flower Poison】 turns the girl's body into a 【Poison Vessel】.

In contrast to the girls, the boys of the 【Gojō】 family continuously take an antidote called 【Kihana's Wine】. This is so they can mate with girls who are 【Poison Vessels】 and can even kill higher-level ability users to produce offspring.

Just as similar properties 【Skills】 easily manifest among elves due to the race's inherent 【Bloodline】.

And the 【Ability】 inherited by the founder of 【Gojō】 is specialized in 【Murder】.

Thereafter, clan members with more of the founder's 【Magic】 and 【Skills】 are considered superior, and they spare no effort in fulfilling the 【Fire Extinguishing】 mission they have carried for generations.

In this way, the custom of always wearing masks is not without reason. After all, having always maintained consanguineous reproduction, they almost invariably have the same face.

Chun Ji was obviously frightened, or rather, somewhat disgusted.

Even the fox girl, who had received an incomplete education since childhood, could sense the absolute abnormality of 【Gojō】.

Having realized this, Chun Ji, although she was not yet aware of it, finally began to question 【Sanjo】.

However, if even the more sublime 【Gojō】 were like this, then that 【Sanjo】 and 【Kujō】…

"My friend's name is 'Gojō Nokaguya'."

Before being expelled from the family and severing ties, Chun Ji's surname was 【Sanjo】, and after being removed from the family, her surname became 【Sanjo no】.

"The divine favor engraved on your body, the contract between us has been dissolved for you."

"Rest assured, your treasured virginity was not used."

The god served by the 【Gojō】 family, the cherry blossom god 【Konohanasakuya-hime】 said this, severing the bond with Kaguya, and from then on, 【Gojō Kaguya】 became 【Gojō no Kaguya】.

However, Wei Gong had a completely different idea from her.

Wei Gong said: "Instead of becoming a decaying 【Far East Cherry Blossom】, she has become a 【Wildflower】 freely growing on the boundless plains."

"Yes, that's what I think."

Wei Gong answered immediately.

Chun Ji lowered her head, she subconsciously thought: "Then what about me…"

Wei Gong said: "You encountered many disasters after leaving 【Far East Country】, but those tragedies were not your fault, you don't need to feel ashamed for them."

"Yes… To put it another way, it is precisely because you left the 【Sanjo】 family that we met in this city."

He held the Iai katana 【Higanbana】 in his backhand.

The sharp sword intent erupted, scattering like chills, the wicks of the candles in the attic were all cut off, and the room immediately darkened.

"Master, the air Master exhaled is blowing on my ears… Ooh…"

Chapter 91: Ryu's Special Training.

【The Fertile Mistress】 tavern, courtyard.

The long spear decorated with slender gold patterns was cut, this long spear is a first-class weapon of the same rank as 【Elf Flash】, and along with its user, it has retreated from the front line to behind the scenes sometime ago, and has not participated in battle for a long time.

Under Ryu's strong sword pressure, 【Golden Battle Spear】 and its owner Anya Fromel flew out together.

Without a moment to mourn for Anya, coming to the battlefield was — 【Black Fist】 Lunoa Faust!

"Wait, what is this… Stop, idiot Ryu, stop it quickly…"

Since childhood, she had been confined to the mansion, forbidden from contacting the outside world, and only allowed to study the knowledge of [Etiquette] and [Rituals]…

From the ease with which Haruhime's father believed the words of that Lilliputian official, severing ties with Haruhime and driving her out of the house, one could see—he never considered Haruhime as a 'person,' but rather as a 'thing' that could be discarded at any time.

Rather than keep her and risk her continuing to tarnish the prestigious glory of the [Sanjo] family in the future, it would be better to take this opportunity to dispose of this useless daughter.

"Haruhime, do you know about the [Nine Families]?"

Emiya asked.

Haruhime said, "I only know that [Sanjo] is one of the [Nine Families]. As for the rest, I have not learned about them…"

He knew these things from the goddess Astrea, because [Gojo no Kaguya] was one of the executors of the [Rokujo] clan's destruction.

"To be honest, the more I learn about the [Nine Families], the worse my impression of these families becomes… I could even say that I increasingly dislike them."

Haruhime showed a horrified expression at Emiya's words. Although she had been away from the [Far East Country] for a long time, her childhood education was still etched in Haruhime's memory.

Haruhime looked at Emiya's upright and strong figure, subconsciously thinking, even without realizing that she had such a thought.

This may not be the truth. Haruhime does not know what level the actual military strength of [Sanjo] is, but regardless of the current facts, Haruhime, who witnessed Emiya's battle, blindly believes this.

She knows almost nothing about the [Nine Families], but vaguely understands that [Sanjo] is a branch of the [Nine Families] with a mid-level status, while the [Ichijo], [Gojo], and [Kujo] families have a much higher status than [Sanjo].

Emiya raised his hand, and the Iaijutsu sword Higanzakura appeared in his hand. Then, he said words that surprised, shook, and even shattered Haruhime's worldview.

Emiya realized that although she had been expelled from the family, Haruhime had never questioned [Sanjo], but instead had fallen into deep self-doubt and self-loathing.

So the first thing Emiya had to do was to break the sanctity of the [Nine Families] and [Sanjo] in Haruhime's heart. For this, he needed to borrow the story of a senior, Gojo no Kaguya.

When Emiya mentioned the name [Gojo], the past weapon [Higanzakura] of Gojo no Kaguya, which he projected, was vibrating gently.

"The true face of [Gojo] is actually the [Anbu] of the Far East Country."

Assassination, alteration, erasure. All means are aimed at solving problems in a way that minimizes losses, and implementing mediation at extreme speed before the smoke turns into a raging fire and spreads.

From birth, the girls of the [Gojo] family would take a certain 'medicine' every day.

This is a familiar method, because the criminal familia from which Chloe Rollo came also cultivated [Assassins] in this way.

Chloe and the others were given poison from an early age in order to cultivate [Abnormal Resistance]. The special poison they drank would not stay in the body. After enduring the short-term pain, the body could still return to its original state.

The meaning of this is naturally to lure foolish males with rampant animalistic desires into their chambers, causing them to greedily consume them and die strangely. It is a heretical method of acting using bedroom arts.

This disgusting custom originated from the characteristics held by the bloodline of [Gojo].

It determines the hereditary transmission of specific [Magic] and [Skills].

Based on the same principle, Kaguya's ancestors noticed that a strong [Gojo] bloodline could mass-produce [Soldiers] with the same [Skills].

This is the family tradition of [Gojo].

It created this combat group that only repeatedly breeds offspring within the clan, constantly purifying, with the goal of [Extreme Standardization].

It is impossible to describe them with the words brothers and sisters. Everyone belongs to the same.

It can be said that even the evil goddess whom Chloe called 'Devil' would evaluate [Gojo]: "You are a bit too extreme."

However, [Gojo] is actually an existence that her father and the [Sanjo] family respect and worship…

The important affairs of a country lie in sacrifice and war, and the latter is especially important. Compared to the [Sanjo], which manages [Rituals] and [Etiquette], the violent institution of [Gojo] has a higher status in the Far East Country.

Haruhime's worldview began to shake.

Emiya continued to speak.

"Gojo no…"

Haruhime's tone was somewhat dazed: "She is also…"

"[Wandering ghosts] who are not worthy of being named after the noble [Sanjo]", this is the meaning of the new surname, and the situation of Gojo no Kaguya is the same.

"This is my sin. And you no longer belong to me or Gojo. So, this is a farewell gift."

She went from being a princess of a noble family to a wandering ghost with nowhere to go.

"Kaguya…"

Haruhime gently said this name. Because of similar experiences, she felt a sense of shared suffering for this 'princess' she had never met.

"I believe that Kaguya, who has left [Gojo] and left the [Nine Families], is not a wandering ghost."

"What?"

Haruhime was very surprised: "Lord Emiya, do you think that Lady Kaguya leaving the [Gojo] family is a good thing…"

"Haruhime, you are the same."

"Especially, leaving the [Sanjo] family, I think, being away from such a family may not be a bad thing."

Listening to Emiya's words, Haruhime lowered her head even further: "Lord, do you really think so…"

Emiya said.

This line was taught to him by the goddess Astrea.

Magic [Gokou].

"Haruhime, from today onwards, be my sister."

Emiya hugged the girl's shoulders as gently as possible.

However, Haruhime didn't hear anything, because—

There was only a "thump—" sound.

The fox girl fell on the tatami, completely unconscious.

Ryuu swung the wooden sword, and the holy blade of [Wooden Sword Spirit Glare] cut out a full arc in the air.

Last time, it was Lunoire when Chloe and the others invaded the tavern. [Golden War Spear] once went into battle, suppressing the power of the weaker Chloe. But this time, [Golden War Spear] encountered Waterloo.

Anya crashed on the floor, rolling around several times while meowing before stopping.

Lunoire rushed up, but Lunoire was hit by the magic trap [Muse's Lightning], and Lunoire was frozen in place.
