Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 179

After the dinner, Nozomi Arakawa took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and paced alone in the main city of Ashina.

There are many stars tonight, and a shooting star streaks across the sky.

Nozomi Arakawa took out the guardian bell and looked at it silently.

Strange to say, it has been nearly two days since he came here, but he still has no sign of returning.

"Isn't it impossible to go back?" Nozomi Arakawa muttered to himself, "Or do you have to get the Undead Slash to go back?"

The bell swayed gently in the wind, and a subtle sound sounded from inside the bell.

Nozomi Arakawa felt relieved.

Since the bell can still ring, there is no need to worry about going back.

Maybe... I can actively control the time to go back?

Before he knew it, he had already reached the back of the main city.

Suddenly, a melodious flute sounded, attracting Nomo Arakawa's attention.

He looked toward a clearing.

There is a cherry blossom tree there, and there are two figures, one big and one small, under the tree.

The little man is playing the flute with an elegant melody.

And another figure danced in the air, barely touching the ground, rhythmic with the sound of the flute and cherry blossom petals.

Nozomi Arakawa felt a little strange, it was the end of autumn, how could there be cherry blossom trees in full bloom in the city?

The sound of the flute was melodious, somehow, Nozomi Arakawa didn't want to disturb the two under the tree.

Everything seems to be like a painting, melting into the night.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Arakawa was drowsy, but a moving female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Your Excellency, if you sleep here, you will catch a cold."

Nozomi Arakawa opened his eyes, and there was a beautiful woman in front of him.

He was stunned.

Not because of being confused by the other party's moving appearance, but because of her eyes.

Deep and mysterious, just like the galaxy in the night sky, it makes people yearn for it.

"Your Excellency?" The woman spoke again.

It was only then that Nozomi Arakawa came back to his senses.

"Oh... sorry, I was fascinated just now..."

"Looking fascinated?" The woman blinked suspiciously.

"I mean... you danced beautifully just now."

"Hehe, is that so?" The woman covered her mouth and chuckled.

"But at this time, everyone is celebrating at the banquet. Why did you come here alone?"

A childish male voice sounded.

Arakawa looked to the right, and saw a boy walking with a flute.

"I ate too much, so I went out to get some fresh air." Nozomi Arakawa said, "Are you...?"

"My name is Zhang, and I'm an outsider." The boy smiled.

"My name is Ba, and I am Master Zhang's servant." The woman also smiled at Arakawa Nozomi.

Arakawa stared blankly.

Zhang and Ba?
They have come to Weiming now? ?

An inexplicable curiosity rose in Nozomi Arakawa's heart.

Jo and Tomoe are a mystery in the story of "Sekiro". They were already dead long before the wolf storyline took place.

Zhang is the son of Longyin who preceded Jiulang, and it is Ba who made the contract with him.

It was also the two of them who found a way to cut off Long Yin, which laid the prerequisites for Sekiro and Kuro to "achieve what should be accomplished".

But there is a doubt.

Why did Zhang and Ba go to Weiming in the game?

But Arakawa knew that they came from Gennomiya, that is, Xianxiang.

Maybe ask them directly?

Thinking of this, Arakawa Wang began to implement it.

He asked directly, "Why did you two come to Weiming?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhang and Ba looked at each other at the same time, probably because they didn't expect Nozomi Arakawa to ask this question.

Finally, Yuba said, "It's just that I came here with the water flowing down from the mountain, and maybe I will live in the city for a while."

"I see." Arakawa Wang nodded, with a clear look on the surface.

However, he said in his heart, it's a ghost to believe in you, okay?

In fact, it seems that Ba and Zhang are not very willing to come to Weiming.

Because it was mentioned in the later part of the game that Zhang was extremely eager to return to the fairyland, but failed, and was finally buried in Wei Ming's tomb.

Since I miss my hometown so much, I shouldn't have left from the very beginning.

In other words, you shouldn't leave when you are not absolutely sure that you can go back to Xianxiang.

It's like when a person goes out, he must carry a key with him-the key item for returning home.

After having the conditions to be able to go home, that person can leave the house with peace of mind.

But Zhang and Ba were not like this. After they left Fairyland, they were never able to go back because they lacked the necessary conditions to return home.

But even though he didn't understand why Zhang and Ba wanted to hide the reason for coming to Weiming, Nozomi Arakawa couldn't ask more questions.

Anyway, they didn't intend to speak out, no matter how cheeky they were, it was useless to ask.

"You fell asleep here just now. If you want to sleep, it's better to go back to your room." Zhang said with concern.

"It's just a nap for a while, it's okay."

"Blowing the night wind will catch a cold."

At this time, a soldier came not far away.

"Master Zhang, Lord Ba, so you are here!"

The soldier trotted over: "Master Yixin invited you to a banquet!"

"Okay, please tell Lord Yixin, we will be there soon." Zhang said.

"Then it's time for us to say goodbye." Ba smiled gently, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Arakawa said.

Zhang and Ba entered the attic, but the soldier did not go far.

He sat down beside Nomo Arakawa: "I heard that you are the one who survived the Western Battlefield?"

"Ah... yes." Arakawa Wang looked at the slightly excited young soldier and said.

But then Nozomi Arakawa remembered that this soldier had called Joka and Ba's names just now.

Maybe we can get some information from him?
"Well, do you know the two people just now?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

"Of course I know! Lord Ba saved my life!" The young soldier said with yearning, "I was shot in the knee by an arrow, and when the sword of the inner government army hit my head... Wait, don’t you know Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ba?”

Arakawa stared blankly, ready to make up a lie to hide the truth.

Judging from the tone of the young soldiers, it seemed that Ba and Zhang were famous people in Wei's name.

However, after thinking about it, it is not surprising that the prince's residence in the main city of Weiming City was Zhang's former residence, and Jiulang's "Book of Cutting off Longyin" was found in Zhang's study room. The middle is very high, not just as simple as outsiders.

And judging from the words of this young soldier, he was saved by Ba.

So does this mean that Ba also participated in the war of stealing the country?
Just as Arakawa Wang was brewing his words, the young soldier clapped his hands and understood.

"Ah, I see! That's how it is!"

Arakawa stared blankly, what do you know?
"You survived in the Western Battlefield, no wonder you haven't seen Mr. Ba! So that's the case, I was confused!" The soldier looked clear.

Arakawa took a look and found out that the steps were all found for him, and he couldn't go down for nothing.

So he nodded and said yes, I'm from the Western Battlefield, and it's normal that I haven't seen Mr. Ba.

The young pawn wanted to say something more, but suddenly he started coughing.

Nozomi Arakawa sensed that something was starting to go wrong.
