Those eyes stared straight at the man in front of them, capturing his every breath and every glance.

She's saying: Don't lie to me.

You won't believe it even if I tell you...

Besides, now is not a good time to reveal everything.

Muramasa muttered a few words in his heart and said:

"I have been here since the moment I opened my eyes. As for my purpose..."

There was a hint of guilt when he said the first sentence, but there was no hesitation or retreat in the second sentence:

"Because someone needs to be rescued, I took action, that's all."

"..."

After listening, the Tengu hesitated for a moment, nodded calmly, and then asked another question.

"Tianling Bugyo has checked, and there is no one with your name registered."

"Liar."

Muramasa pointed it out directly, and Kujo Sara's pupils shrank slightly for a moment.

"No, I'm not doubting your ability, nor am I trying to say anything like I've registered."

"It's only been half a day, right? The purpose is too obvious."

I can understand the purpose of asking such questions, which is just to find out whether I am a spy from another country.

If an outsider wants to conduct a survey, this way of asking questions is feasible.

Her concern was that spies would not act so high-profile.

"We do have our doubts about you. After all, you are powerful yet your origins are unknown, and there are many mysteries surrounding you."

Kujo Sara rarely relaxed his tone. The current situation was indeed not suitable for questioning.

The reason why she came alone was not only because she "trusted" her subordinates' ability, but also because she was concerned about their positions and attitudes.

At least he hadn't shown any hostility, nor had he shown any intention of getting involved with Inazuma, so showing off on his side was clearly not a good option:

"I apologize for my previous temptation. If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to invite you to come sit down with me at Tianling Fengxing."

Although they are inviting me to their territory, it is not mandatory, so the choice is still mine, right?

"Then please allow me to ask one more question."

Kujo Sara changed the subject:

"Does the leading ronin bandit have anything related to elemental power?"

She knew that the other party knew what elemental power was, so she didn't explain it in vain.

At the same time, we deliberately did not use anything with directionality to avoid leading the other party and preventing them from being misled by us.

"Well, yes, there is. Wait a moment."

Muramasa turned and walked towards the thatched hut. After a while, he returned with a purple pendant.

"This was brought back by the old man."

After Kujo Sara took it, he noticed that there was a small amount of elemental power remaining in it, and there were also patterns on it similar to the Eye of the Thunder Elemental God.

But the cracks on it, is it because the ronin overdrew his money?

It is impossible to make other guesses based on the existing clues, and the person in front of him has no shortage of secrets, and there is no way to stop him from deliberately hiding himself.

Kujo Sara put away the pendant and nodded.

"This pendant is evidence. We need to take it away."

"Okay, whatever you want."

He had anticipated this outcome. "Anything else?"

"We still need to understand some details of the matter."

"I understand. I'll keep talking until you get bored."

For the next period of time, the two stood here and reviewed the entire process of the battle and its ending.

Jiujo didn't make any records, but just kept all these things in his mind.

"Fools..."

It was not until she recalled the ronin's last words that her expression relaxed slightly.

Muramasa naturally noticed that, and that expression could be summed up in one word: a look of "trouble."

"Thank you again for your cooperation."

"It's just my job."

After dealing with the matters here, Muramasa glanced to the side and smiled at Hailing who had been hiding for a long time.

"Have you been hiding there for a long time? If you have anything to ask, just tell me directly."

Kujo Sara also looked in the same direction and was well aware of Hai Ling's existence.

Hailing, who only realized that she had been exposed after Muramasa said that, shuddered and walked out from behind the tree in embarrassment.

"So they've been exposed? As expected of Muramasa-san and Kujo Sara-sama..."

This guy seems quite famous, huh? He's definitely no small-time figure, I think he's at the rank of General.

"So, what's up?"

"Well, it's just... I'd like to ask you to go to Inazuma Castle with me."

The Swordsmith from Another World: Chapter 11: Heading to Inazuma Castle

"Going to Inazuma Castle?"

Muramasa repeated what the other party said:

"It's fine if you go, but is there something unexpected?"

"Well, the village took inventory of some things...that were no longer needed."

Things that are no longer useful are synonymous with the deceased.

"I want to take it with me and see if I can exchange it for some Mora to repair the village."

Mora...is the currency of this world.

Muramasa nodded and looked at Kujo Sara beside him.

"Ok?"

When Kujo Sara realized that the other person was looking at him, he was a little confused, but he didn't show it.

"What about the rest of the village? Are they going too?"

Hailing responded to Muramasa's question:

"Uncle Wukou and Aunt Cui wanted to go with me."

"But there are fewer people now, so everyone in the village is very busy. Lingliu/Siqi) VIII% 2 (VIII) If Mr. Muramasa could go with me..."

"I see."

Muramasa nodded in agreement:

"Just consider it a commission. I'll take it."

"Oh, and one more thing. His name is Kujo Sara, right? When do you Tenryo Bugyo plan to leave?"

"After lunch, we'll set off in the afternoon."

I didn't understand the purpose of the question, but I answered it truthfully:

“People don’t need rest, but horses do.”

That's a very realistic answer.

"In that case, could you please escort us for a while?"

"Eh?"

Not only Kujo Sara was surprised, but Hailing beside him also felt unexpected.

Muramasa raised his lips with a sly look, "No need to go back and forth, just keep an eye on him when you go."

"After all, there should be a lot of things to carry later, right? It will take up a lot of time on the road, and I won't be able to take care of it if there is danger."

Although it's not something too excessive, why would you suddenly make such a request?

Kujo Sara tried his best to control the slightest movement on his face. Qi Er San Ling Hiss (nine?) (seven) three (four), his neck slightly lowered as he fell into thought.

No matter how much a village can sell, it can only fill a cart.

What good does this do for him? Or what good does it do for us...

She thought of the villagers' previous attitude towards Tianling Fengxing. Although they did not contradict him, they were resistant and dissatisfied.

Is it for this?

Jiujo suddenly felt that he was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this person. His thoughts were profound, but upon closer inspection, they seemed very superficial.

"No."

After fully considering her doubts, she shook her head:

"Tianling has official duties to perform and cannot stop for this matter."

Hailing felt a little disappointed with this answer, but she wasn't surprised either.

Muramasa seemed a little out of place when he asked, "But?"

"But as an individual, I can take on the responsibility of helping you."

She felt a little helpless, feeling that she had been seen through as expected.

"Ok!"

After a brief hesitation, Hailing smiled and said excitedly:

"Then I'll go back and prepare—"

Then he ran back as fast as he could, as if he was afraid that someone would go back on their word.

"You're quite popular. It seems like that girl is no stranger to you."

Muramasa looked at her back and teased Kujo.

"I don't know."

Kujo Sara still had that serious look on his face:

"But as a general of the Heavenly Realm, a well-known reputation can intimidate the enemy."

It turns out that he is a general. However, it is surprising that a general would do things to such an extent.

Muramasa thought about it and added:

"And to appease the people under your rule, right?"

"No,"

Unexpectedly, this time, Kujo Sara decisively denied it, with a fanaticism called "faith" flashing in his eyes:

"It is the General's majesty that appeases the people."

"We are merely acting as her representatives."

It's impossible to convince a fanatic about her beliefs.

What's more, Muramasa, who had never seen those high and mighty gods in his lifetime, had only experienced the so-called kingdom of God when he was summoned.

While he was thinking about how to respond, Kujo Sara spoke:

"What you said just now was for the sake of Tianling Fengxing, right?"

"Half and half."
