Inazuma swordsmith named Senko Muramasa

Then he went outside and continued to clean the inner yard until dawn.

Just at dawn, Hailing woke up from the couch.

After the initial confusion, she checked her clothes in surprise, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no signs of violence.

Looking out the window of the room, you can see Muramasa, who has already plowed the land in the backyard and is fiddling with the dusty farm tools in the corner.

"Mr. Muramasa? Are you up so early?"

Hailing asked subconsciously out the window.

"Hmm? Oh, you're awake."

Hearing the voice, Muramasa stood up and replied:

"Rather than saying it, I'd rather just say that I didn't sleep all night."

"Why is this happening...Won't this make you feel listless?"

Although Muramasa seems to be full of energy, it is also worrying.

"Alright, alright. Old people don't get much sleep anyway, and we have to avoid suspicion, right?"

"Look, the door you left open yesterday is still open for you."

Hailing thought of the caution she had in mind before entering the room last night, and her face suddenly turned red.

That was indeed something she had left untouched on purpose, although considering the opponent's strength, it might be of no use.

And judging from the current results, it seems a bit petty.

"Don't worry about it, it's a good habit. Girls should always protect themselves when they go out."

Seeing her expression, Muramasa also tried to comfort her.

"Well……"

Even after being comforted like this, Hailing still shrank her head behind the window and said in a sullen tone:

"You look about the same age as me, but why do you keep calling me 'old man' and 'old man' all the time..."

Muramasa was a little surprised to hear her say that.

It's not the words themselves, after all, it's what I've said for many years. Even if my body is rejuvenated, it will be difficult to change other parts back to normal.

Instead, I was wondering if I had recovered enough to joke around.

"Haha," Muramasa smiled knowingly, a rare moment. "Compared to yesterday, you really look more energetic today, don't you?"

"But since you're feeling refreshed, I'll take you back first. You probably still have a lot of things to do, right?"

Along the way, Hailing's eyes moved around this place that she was so familiar with, introducing the situation of each household to Muramasa.

"That's Uncle Wu's house. It was originally where the three of them lived..."

"This is Aunt Nan. She's already moved to Inazuma City. She said she'll bring my parents over once things get better..."

"Over there is..."

She chattered on and on, like an old maid, but Muramasa didn't want to interrupt her, so he just listened quietly until he reached her door.

"And this is..."

She fell silent, trying in vain to raise her arms, then letting them fall powerlessly, the smile on her face dimming a little.

"Well, Mr. Muramasa, I'll go in first!"

He forced himself to say the last sentence, then opened the door of his house and said goodbye to Muramasa for the last time.

"She's a strong girl..."

She didn't even have time to say goodbye until the very end. If she had been any slower, she would have been entangled in sorrow again.

“It’s really not easy.”

Feeling the vibration coming from the ground, Muramasa looked in a certain direction outside the village.

His gaze traveled across dozens of miles and locked onto the people and horses marching towards this side.

"That should be Tianling Fengxing, right?"

……

ten minutes later

The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the leader was a stern black-haired woman with a Crow Tengu mask tilted on her forehead. Her dark golden eyes observed the movements around her inconspicuously.

He was wearing a black tight vest, which outlined the lines of his well-trained body and his proud chest that ordinary people could hardly match. The white shawl on his coat swayed with the horse's back, creating eye-catching waves.

When they reached the village entrance, several middle-aged people, including a family of five, were already waiting at the door.

The tall and majestic woman dismounted and nodded slightly to the group.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"How can it be hard? We are the ones who are tired and have to make the trip."

The five of them spoke politely and modestly, but it was not difficult to see complaints in their eyes.

Kujo Sara's expression remained unchanged, but he could hear the tone in the other person's words, but he did not argue:

"Can you take us to see the body?"

"to make……"

The incident just happened yesterday, and the burials in the village are still focused on the people within the village. Naturally, the guards of Inazuma Castle also have to return to their roots.

As for those ronin, there's no need to say more. They've done their best by not opening it up and feeding it to the dogs.

The remains of the guard and the ronin were kept outside the village. The former still maintained the state it was in at the last moment, but the posture was slightly adjusted.

When seeing the corpse, the recruit behind him obviously tightened the screws on his face, not letting any emotion show from his mouth or eyebrows.

Only Sara squatted down with a calm expression and checked the wounds on their bodies.

The Eye of God on his body emitted a faint fluorescent light, and then dimmed.

"It's definitely the lightning element... Could it be that one of those pirates also possesses the Eye of God?"

Although he had received intelligence that the pirates would use the power of the thunder element, Jiujo did not think it was the effect of the Eye of God.

At least Kailuan Gui does have other ways of utilizing elements, so he didn't take it too seriously.

However, the current kind of wound required the elemental strength to be mobilized beyond those ordinary means.

"We don't know..."

They neither had the insight to see through the other side's tactics nor the means to fight them.

"Did he carry any accessories?"

"Hurry up and tell me. You are not allowed to keep it privately. Otherwise, it will interfere with official business."

Two of the companions behind him were obviously a little impatient and asked eagerly before Kujo Sara asked further.

"quiet."

Kujo Sara turned around and glared, extinguishing the anger of the two young men with his eyes.

"I'll double my training when I get back."

Then he let out a long breath and asked:

"Then can we see the bodies of those ronin?"

"This……"

This time, hesitation was evident on their faces. "Of course, we can, but... I hope you can be mentally prepared."

After that, the others all turned their gazes away, and only the five of them walked towards a large piece of cloth next to them, where there was a pile of fresh soil.

How horrifying could this be?

At this time, several people did not take it too seriously, thinking that the villagers were just being surprised by what they had seen, and that they had cleared out bandits more than once or twice.

When the cloth is lifted, what is revealed is an extreme violent aesthetic.

Except for a few who "escaped", the rest of the bodies were twisted and broken to varying degrees, and were crushed cleanly and violently.

"How did this hand get broken like this..."

A new soldier looked at the arm that was broken into several pieces and felt doubtful and scared.

"Is this... is this some kind of funny horror comic?"

The face is like a basin, which reminds people of the serious nonsense comics written by a certain expert in Inazuma.

Kujo's gaze was fixed on the leading armored warrior. He hadn't seen anything resembling the Eye of God in a long time, so he nodded and asked:

"Then may I ask where is the warrior who solved this disaster?"

The five people in the lead and the rest of the group... The people nearby looked at each other, confirmed Muramasa's response, and then nodded.

"In the thatched hut behind the village."

"Thank you. Until then..."

She turned around and looked at the people behind her: "You guys are here now, help the villagers fill this pit."

The Swordsmith from Another World: Chapter 10: Inquiry

Outside the thatched hut

Muramasa stared intently at the farm tools in his hands, muttering to himself.

"It's already broken down like this... How neglected has it been?"

The farm tools he has now are some tools that no one in the village uses anymore. They were sent to him for refurbishment at the suggestion of several current leaders.

Originally, they planned to give it to Muramasa so that he could practice forging swords in the next two days.

But as a token of gratitude for the kindness of “a meal and a place to stay”, Muramasa decided to repair the house and return it to them.

"It seems like we won't be able to finish it today."

Not long ago, he saw those people from Tianling Fengxing rushing over on horseback, but since there was still plenty of time, he planned to repair a few things first.

"But it's a bit too fast... Although it's good to do your job conscientiously, I still want to do a few more things."

As he was speaking, he heard footsteps.

"Hello, Mr. Muramasa."

The figure of Kujo Sara appeared not far from the door, seemingly hesitating whether to continue forward.

"I am Kujo Sara, the Minister of Heaven, and I have come to pay my respects as a matter of routine. Could you please come out and have a chat?"

It seems this guy has some skills.

Less than a foot in front of her was the restriction of the barrier.

I guess he noticed something and didn't come in directly.

And, is there only one person?

I looked behind Kujo Sara, but there was no one there.

This guy has a very strong aura. If he were just an ordinary soldier, the gap between their average levels would be too big.

"understood."

Muramasa walked out leisurely and went straight to the outside of the barrier:

"That will put your mind at ease."

Judging from the other party's attitude, the nine points are: one is doubt and the other is vigilance.

There was no God's Eye pendant on this person, but it was obvious that this barrier was constructed using a large amount of elemental power.

Such a person was something he had never heard of. Even though intelligence gathering was not within the scope of Tianling Bugyo's duties, as one of the three Bugyo, Tianling Bugyo also possessed an amount of intelligence that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not to mention that there is a close connection between the two.

"Then please allow me to ask directly."

"Where are you from and why are you here?"
