Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 189 Simple Conversation
The young Genichiro was sweating profusely.

He tried his best to swing the wooden sword. If he practiced with a real one at his current age, he might hurt himself.

Ba also considered this before letting him use the wooden sword.

Xianichiro's hand holding the sword was tight, and he swung the sword very seriously and focused.

Every time he slashed, even if his arms were sore and numb, he was unwilling to let go of his fingers.

Although young, after experiencing the smoke of this troubled world, even children understand a truth.

——Losing weapons means losing lives.

He has been practicing according to Ba's request, from morning to night, except for going to the toilet and eating and drinking, he is practicing almost all the rest of the time.

But even though it was a practice, Genichiro seemed to be waving it indiscriminately.

In fact, he was waving randomly, but this was Ba's request.

"Weapons are like people. Different people use weapons in different ways. You have to find your own attack method..."

These are Ba's original words, asking Genichiro to find the way of exerting force and the most stretched posture that he feels is the least labor-intensive.

Suddenly a voice sounded behind him.

"Want a drink?"

Looking back, a person was looking at him with juice.

Genichiro looked at Arakawa cautiously and clenched the wooden sword in his hand tighter.

He is very wary of strangers, or...he has to be wary.

"You don't need to do this. I just occasionally see a child practicing sword practice, so let's take a look, but you can't do it with your sword indiscriminately!"

Nozomi Arakawa took off his hat, opened his arms, and showed Genichiro the rattan armor worn by Ashina's soldiers.

"So that's it, is it Wei Ming's soldier?" Genichiro's vigilance relaxed a lot.

After all, he is still a child now, not a "crumb" who can cut off other people's arms no matter whether he wins or loses.

"What do you know?" Genichiro silently stared at Arakawa, ready to... run away at any time.

He had heard from Yixin that although Weiming Kingdom had been retaken, there might still be enemies harboring inside.

"Not very fresh kiwi juice, take a sip?"

Genichiro looked at the juice in Arakawa Wango's hand, and couldn't help licking his lips.

He ate kiwis, when he had his mother...

That taste is memorable.

"I still can't..."

Reason triumphs over desire.

Genichiro finally shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your kindness."

"Your body needs to replenish water now." Nozomi Arakawa passed the container, "Supplementing water is not harmful to the body."

Seeing the gentle smile on Arakawa's face, Genichiro couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

After hesitating for a while, he finally took the juice that Nozomi Arakawa handed over.

After all, he does need to replenish water now.

But when he was about to drink, Arakawa Wang asked him a question.

"Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing if a person never dies?"

"Never die...?" Genichiro blinked, "This is impossible. Although I heard that the water of the source can make people immortal, but that is just a legend. No one has seen the water of the source."

"If... I mean if..."

"Of course it's a good thing," Genichiro said softly, "If a person never dies, then I can live with my mother forever, and I will marry a virtuous wife in the future, give birth to a child, and have a family. People live together forever, but these are delusions."

"Yeah, immortality is indeed a delusion."

Arakawa Nozomi sat under the evercherry tree with Genichiro, and he also brought clear water and dried meat.

Genichiro ate the jerky and drank water, but he didn't touch the glass of juice.

He likes to save the best food for last.

"By the way, what's your name?" Arakawa asked.

"My current surname is Wei Ming, and my name is Kenichiro Wei Ming."

"You don't want your previous name?"

"It's useless to keep it." Xianichiro chewed the jerky, "Could it be that if I keep that name, my mother will crawl back from the underworld to find me? Grandpa Yixin told me that there is no way out in a person's life. Backing down is just another way to go on, no one can go back in time, and no one can bring the dead back to life, if I want to go on, I can only go on.”

"Go down?" Nozomi Arakawa said, "Which way?"

Genichiro didn't speak, just tapped the ground under the everzakura tree with his heel.

"Ashina?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

Genichiro nodded.

"why?"

"Because this is my home, and I made a vow to my grandpa under this magical cherry tree."

Nozomi Arakawa finally understood why Genichiro had such a deep obsession with Wei Ming.

Although he lost his mother, he got a new family.

In the future, there will be Yasaka from the Ghost Punishment Department and other Wei Ming people who will establish a deep bond with him.

Headed by Xian Yilang, they vowed to protect Wei Ming to the death.

The living cannot be troubled by the dead, no matter how much he feels sorry for his mother, he must move forward.

He failed to protect his mother, but at least he had to protect Ashina.

After eating the jerky, Genichiro felt much better.

It's time to taste the sweet and sour kiwi juice.

He picked up the glass of juice, but just as the mouth of the glass was about to touch his lips, he knocked it off with a claw.

Kiwi juice splashed all over the floor.

Genichiro looked at Nozomi Arakawa in confusion.

"I just remembered that this juice is not very fresh, so don't drink it, it will be bad if you have diarrhea."

Arakawa looked at the swirling clouds in the distance, the bright moon hung high, and occasionally thunder and lightning flashed on the clouds in the dark night.

"What... What a weirdo, it's getting late, I should go back to rest, thank you for the dried meat and water."

Genichiro stood up, picked up the wooden sword and pinned it to his waist, patted the dust off his body, and prepared to leave.

"By the way, there is one thing I want to ask."

"Tell me." Genichiro nodded.

"Your current teacher is Ba, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"No...it's nothing, just study hard."

"By the way, there's one more thing." Arakawa stopped him again.

"Okay, you say."

"How is your relationship with a little girl named Yongzhen?"

"Is that the adopted daughter of Dr. Daoxuan? I met twice yesterday, and I have a little impression."

"Oh……"

Genichiro turned his head.

"there's one more thing……"

"Can't you finish it all at once?"

"Sorry, I want to ask, Masters Ba and Zhang, why didn't they teach you exercises tonight...just out of curiosity."

"Ba-sama and Zhang-sama should rest in the castle tower now." Genichiro said, "They rested a little early today..."

"Really? I understand." Arakawa nodded.

Now Genichiro could finally leave. He was walking halfway when he suddenly turned back, fearing that Arakawa was staring at him, and then the words "There is one more thing" rang in his ears.

But he only saw Nozomi Arakawa's back, sitting cross-legged under the cherry blossom tree alone, took out a candy from his waist, made a strange pose, and then crunched it into pieces.

　Everyone has their own understanding of the game Sekiro. In order to avoid controversy, I probably won’t reply to questions in chapters and comments in the future.

　　By the way, if you are still watching, take a few seconds to send a "1", give me some motivation, thank you.
