Inazuma swordsmith named Senko Muramasa

The lights in the thatched hut had been turned off early. Muramasa thought, maybe Hailing had already gone back?

It just seems like something is wrong...

There was no sense of anyone leaving the barrier.

With the intention of verifying the facts, Muramasa returned to the room and was shocked to see a girl curled up on his couch, sleeping soundly.

"..."

Exit and close the door.

While I'm not discovered, I'll pretend I never came back.

"Ok?"

The barrier was triggered at this moment, and Muramasa sensed it simultaneously.

Subconsciously, he grasped the blade in the house and looked in the direction of what was touched.

The person who came was smaller than an ordinary person, but bigger than the fox that had come in before.

It wasn't the aura of a villager, and there were traces of elemental power on his body.

Preemptive strike——

Muramasa flipped out of the window and when he landed, he suddenly pulled his right foot backwards, and his body slowly leaned forward under the influence of gravity, getting into a stance.

With the right hand, the blade is placed between the waist and armpit, and with the left hand, the long robe in the hand is used as a sheath, which is wrapped around the blade in the hand:

"call……"

He let out a long breath, as if announcing his upcoming attack, and the magic power in his body exploded instantly, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack layer by layer.

boom!

The static image was torn to pieces in the next moment, and the blade burst into orange-red flames.

The body that left behind an afterimage dragged the flames and suddenly turned into a stream of red light, approaching the figure that had not yet appeared.

"Drink!"

Following the battle cry of encouragement, the blade at the waist swung from bottom to top, and the drawn blade spewed out layers of flames as it swung towards the... raccoon cat that couldn't dodge in time?

"Wait... wait a minute! I'll just have to pick up some Japanese bastards."

The completely frightened raccoon cat blew out a puff of white smoke and turned into a child wearing a raccoon cat coat.

Child?

Muramasa turned the blade to the side, avoiding the child.

The tip of the knife cut through the ground beside the girl, and the red heat merged into the air waves and hit her face.

When she turned her head to look at the ground that was cut, she was shocked to see that a piece of the earth the size of a human was gouged out.

The surrounding grass turned to ash, and the color of the soil was several shades darker than other places.

If you hit the target, your account will be closed.

"What are you doing here, little girl?"

Muramasa did not take it lightly, but still dropped the knife in his hand.

The blade that fell to the ground turned into iron filings and dissipated along with the ground.

"I...I was sent here by the miko sister to secretly protect you and the people around you... They said it was the will of the shrine magistrate!"

Protect secretly, but why keep it secret when you are about to be killed? It is more important to speak out quickly to save your life.

The magistrate of the society...that Kamisato Ayato?

Muramasa pondered for a moment, "Do you have the Eye of God?"

The other party did not dare to hide it and nodded quickly.

"So, is there any evidence?"

But you can't just believe everything the other person says.

"Evidence... um..."

She scratched her head anxiously, unable to think of how to prove that Yiliuyin VII Si Wengu was VIII Ming.

"We, the "End of the Last Chapter," are a secret organization affiliated with the company. Uh...how can we prove this?"

Can you just talk about a secret organization?

Muramasa complained inwardly that the "ninja" in front of him seemed somewhat unreliable.

no way……

His eyes narrowed, and the magic power in them condensed, seeing through the cause and effect entangled with the little girl in front of him.

The Eye of Karma is activated. According to its original usage, it will now understand the "structure of fate" of the other party appearing here.

however……

Unexpectedly, what appeared before him was not the other party's fate, but a picture:

The dazzling stars spread out before Muramasa's eyes, and the shining stars formed a raccoon dog shape.

Immediately, all kinds of causes and effects poured into Muramasa's mind unreasonably, and the huge amount of information made him feel dizzy for a moment.

"What, what's wrong?"

Zaoyou saw him close his eyes for a moment, his brows visibly twisted together, and he didn't know what had happened.

"No, it's okay."

After digesting it for a while, Muramasa opened his eyes again, at least knowing that she was indeed not an enemy.

I didn't expect other "tricks" to have such a big change in this world. It seems I need to use them with caution...

"I believe you."

"really?"

Although he didn't know why, Zaoyou felt relieved, at least his account would not be cancelled.

"Really." Muramasa nodded, but still a little puzzled.

"But, that community official should be able to see that I have set up a barrier here, right?"

"Didn't I remind you not to get too close?"

Muramasa's question made Zaoyou a little stunned. She began to rub her hands nervously, looking guilty.

"At that time... I fell asleep."

"..."

Silence is Cambridge tonight. Muramasa held his forehead with his hand and sighed heavily.

"Do you want to think about it again? Is there anything you have forgotten?"

"Oh, yes! That is, in three days..."

She was silent for a moment and muttered:

"Um, that's not right... I slept all day, so it should be..."

"Ah yes, the day after tomorrow!"

The two words "the day after tomorrow" were shouted louder:

"The day after tomorrow, people from Kaigi Island should be coming over, led by a brown-haired man named Ura...Goro."

Muramasa also heard her mumbling just now...

In other words, this child slept all day yesterday?

Muramasa's face showed an expression that said, "You were slacking off yesterday, weren't you?" Zaoyu, who was extremely skilled in this area, immediately lowered her head.

"Because... we rarely carry out consecutive missions..."

"I can't stop feeling sleepy..."

"Continuous missions?"

"Ah."

Zaoyou nodded: "I usually hide, but I was found that day and was sent to Haige Island to carry out a mission..."

"After I came back, I wanted to have a good sleep. However, when the task was handed over, I was immediately given this task..."

So this kid can't find anyone usually, so this time you just assign her a series of tasks, right?

"However, this mission is not bad..."

She murmured sleepily again:

"As long as nothing happens to you, I can sleep all the time."

"And it's a long-term mission, hehe..."

Then at least you should say what you need to say before going to sleep...

Muramasa was silent for a moment, then added:

"You don't have to protect me anymore. Just protect the little girl inside."

“I know this~”

Zaoyou smiled and said, "This is also what Sister Miko meant."

"By the way, do you have any food at home?"

"I've slept all day and haven't eaten anything yet..."

The Swordsmith from Another World: Chapter 40: The Perfect Plan

"So, this little girl..."

Hailing looked at the little girl who was curled up on the tatami, looking as if she didn't understand the situation.

"Oh, it's the 'ninja' sent by the company magistrate."

Muramasa brought the prepared lunch to the table and patted Zaoyou who was sleeping over there.

"Ok?"

Zaoyou rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, stretched, and sat up like a cricket pupa:

"Is it dawn yet..."

"It's already noon."

Muramasa added, and placed her portion before her:

"Anyway, if I'm not around, just call her if you have anything."

"There's food to eat when you wake up, and you can sleep right after eating. This is so blissful~"

Zaoyou looked like she was dreaming and was about to fall down.

"If you want to eat, sit down..."

Muramasa said this and looked away.

Over there is a fox that appears occasionally, or rather a pink fox that calls itself an occasional fox.

It’s only been a day!

"I don't make tribute every day, do I?"

"Just so you know, there's no fried tofu today."

No special meals were prepared for the fox, and it seemed as if they were telling her to eat whatever they wanted.

She was not annoyed and accepted all the food that was offered to her.

I'm really not picky...

Could it really be some fox fairy?

Looking at Muramasa's complaining look, Hailing always felt like he was an old nanny who couldn't sit still.
