Muramasa paused. It wasn't that there was anything he needed to avoid, but it was still a little difficult to explain:

"It's a long story. To me, it was like a dream."

How should I explain to a young girl like this that my life is just borrowed and fake?

"On the contrary, the experiences after death and being summoned out have given me a more real sense of being alive."

He only had one memory of being summoned. Perhaps Muramasa had been summoned many times before, but for him, that was the only memory.

"If you want to know, Shenli, I can explain it briefly."

"Well, I'd like to hear the details."

As she spoke, Linghua heard the other party calling her and bit her lip subtly, but did not say anything out loud.

"……Um?"

That beautiful face was suddenly stained with a haze, causing Muramasa to reflect on his previous remarks, and he couldn't help but sigh at how delicate a girl's heart was:

"The kingdom of fairies and the kingdom of gods... Linghua, which one are you more interested in?"

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, let's talk about the fairy kingdom first."

……

In front of Kamisato Yashiki

"Then I was... "

Having said that, Muramasa also saw the brightly lit mansion in the distance.

An old maid was already waiting at the door, her calm demeanor not at all like one of worry.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The maid in kimono leaned forward slightly and greeted the two of them:

"Ms. Kamisato, the hot water in the mansion is ready for you."

Not only was a servant arranged to wait, but hot water was also prepared?

Muramasa was about to express his admiration for the wealthy family when he discovered that Linghua was equally surprised.

Seeing the expression on her young lady's face, the maid said:

"The master knew you would come back on your own, and he calculated the time well after knowing that this gentleman would be traveling with you."

"Then, Mr. Senko Muramasa, the head of the family also has something to ask you."

"I can't hide it from you, brother, after all?" Linghua's smile was a little awkward, but she turned to Muramasa and said, "Well, I'll also prepare to shower and change clothes, and then I'll take my leave."

She bowed to Muramasa and added in a low voice.

"Could you please continue telling the story next time?"

Then she trotted into the house, lowering her young lady attitude a little.

"Really? She's still just a little girl."

After taking a look at the girl's back, Muramasa walked straight towards the main house.

Every time I go to Kamizato's house, I will meet the head of the Kamizato family, and of course we will have a conversation, but the length of time varies.

"Is there a problem?"

If it was just a simple matter, the maid outside could just tell him. But since they had to specially pull him in, it must not be an ordinary matter.

"The ninjas of the "End of the Series" have recently heard some news."

Kamisato Ayato didn't even bother with politeness this time, but went straight to the point:

"Two Fatui's executive officers are currently in Inazuma."

"And during their conversation, they mentioned something about you."

"About how to hunt you."

The Swordsmith of Another World: Chapter 70: Hunting and Being Hunted

"The Fatui? Why them again?"

This was the nth time that Muramasa had heard the name of this organization, but he still had no good impression of them.

"They are very famous on the mainland..."

The blue-haired man in front of him didn't elaborate on his specific evaluation, but Muramasa felt that it must be annoying.

"Besides, they were recruiting people for a while, but now they're trying to eliminate them?"

Thinking that they had come to recruit him not long ago, Muramasa felt inexplicably funny.

"If you can't get it, you have to destroy it. That's what you mean."

"Perhaps, not entirely." Ayato shook his head, dismissing Muramasa's idea. "Although they are happy to recruit more talented individuals, they are not so ruthless."

"At least not in such a direct way."

Directly, in other words, will they use other indirect methods to force that person to submit to them?

Muramasa had a preconceived judgment in his mind.

"What would the purpose be then?"

Since it wasn't a rage-driven extermination, there must be other reasons:

"What is my identity?"

He had revealed his differences from ordinary people many times, some of which were indeed revealed due to their inducement.

"I'm afraid so. For example, the so-called 'God's Eye' detection device."

Ayato has also been paying close attention to the situation of the Eye Hunting Order:

"I checked the accounts with the Kanjo Bugyo, and there is no such item."

"Then the only possibility is that it was obtained from the Fatui."

His relationship with the Kanjo Bugyo has eased a lot recently, and at the next resolution meeting, some projects will probably be decided by both parties.

"But, no matter how you think about it, this kind of thing can't be easily found out..."

It's not that Muramasa doesn't trust those ninjas who are "finally in their final season", it's just a simple and reasonable guess -

The visitors were two Fatui executives. In his eyes, they were at least high-ranking officials. How could their conversation be so easily inquired about?

"We have our suspicions too. I'm afraid one of these two released it on purpose." Ayato twirled his chin in thought, his smile unwavering. "There are several possibilities."

"One possibility is that he has a grudge against the other party and wants to deliberately harm them in this way."

"The second type is a deliberate trap, intended to trick you into taking action. If you were in Inazuma Castle, no matter how bold they were, they wouldn't dare act recklessly."

"As for the third one..."

He paused, seeming helpless.

"Or maybe one of them just wanted to make things more interesting, at least in his opinion."

"How could such a thing be possible?" Muramasa wanted to say this, but unfortunately, he actually knew someone like this, so he swallowed the words back and replaced them with another sentence:

"Do you have any direction as to where they are?"

"At least there are no similar areas on Narukami Island or the outlying islands."

Kamisato Ayato said this with extraordinary determination:

"As long as they build a similar place nearby, I will find it immediately."

Pretty confident...

Cun Zheng said secretly in his heart.

"So the most likely locations are Bayaniu Island and Haiji Island, where the battlefield is located."

Ayato finished his remarks and Muramasa nodded in agreement.

"I understand, although I don't know what their purpose is."

Muramasa stood up slowly without giving it much thought, his face neither smiling nor irritated, as if he was just planning tomorrow's breakfast:

"But in short, as long as we cut them off, there will be no more trouble."

"Although this was not my original intention, I have done a lot of this kind of thing at work."

The person across the table had no objection to his proposal. He was just a little surprised by his nonchalant expression, but he didn't ask:

"Many areas over there are now battlefields, so it might be difficult to move freely."

"I can make arrangements with the Tenryo Bugyo, but as for Kaigi Island... I'm afraid you'll have to negotiate on your own."

There was still a gentle smile on his face, but it gave people the feeling that everything was within his expectations and plans, which made people feel uneasy.

"You didn't plan this from the beginning, did you?"

Thinking about it, from the very beginning, the other party asked me to do a favor for the 頸1三屋崎酒尵陽海吉島. Although it was not a big favor, it was still a signal that was sent out.

Although the cost was paid by the company and I was just doing a favor, I never thought that it would be useful one day.

"Sure enough, it's just as the fox said."

Muramasa raised one corner of his mouth, revealing a somewhat emotional smile.

"Ok?"

He just said "hmm" calmly, showing his curiosity slightly.

"You are really annoying, you guy."

……

Mingzhu Beach

The mudflats that were not involved in the battle were very quiet. Occasionally, you could see birds flying by, some targeting small creatures on the beach, while others were targeting the remains that had not been cleaned up yet.

"We'll deliver it here."

Kujo Sara still brought those elite confidants with him, but the original four were now missing a member, lacking some of the cool blue glow.

After receiving the order from their superiors, they were very confused. How could someone go deep into enemy territory during wartime? Aren't they afraid that he might be collaborating with the enemy? But they chose to obey the order.

"Who's left?"

From the beginning, Muramasa has been looking for the guy who had fought with him. Although he already had a guess in his mind, he still couldn't help but ask.

Could it be really the same as he guessed?

"He was heroically wounded in battle and has now been discharged from the army after turning in the Eye of God."

The attendant behind Kujo Sara took the initiative to speak, and the general did not stop him.

"Hand it in..."

For these guys who knew about the Eye Hunting Order but still kept it, handing over the Eye of God is their unshirkable obligation.

But in his opinion, it still seemed a bit like getting rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose.

Muramasa remained silent, and the others on the other side had no intention of asking further questions. The war had already consumed too much of their energy, and after nodding, they left, led by Kujo Sara.

But on the way back, one of them whispered:

"It's so far away, how is he going to get there?"

"Yeah, there's no boat or anything."

These murmurs did not attract any rebuke, but no one responded either. Muramasa just watched them disappear at the end of the beach.

"Then, next."

After confirming that no one was around, Muramasa turned around, raised the only demon sword he was wearing, and sighed silently in his heart:

I really don't want to do this to this guy, but there's nothing I can do—

He stretched his arm, made an athlete's bidding motion, and then threw the knife into the air with all his might.

The sound of breaking air was transmitted back to the original place several seconds after the knife flew out. At this time, Muramasa's body also turned into a spirit and disappeared.

The knife drew a huge arc in the sky, flew directly over the sea, and accurately aimed at the coast of Kaigi Island.
