Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 406 403. Legacy

"Sacrifice. Yourself" Sanrizuki Meikata's heart ached: "Are you serious?"

"Well, now only you can turn the tide of the battle." Bonny Night Otoko said, "But this is likely to result in your sacrifice. Brother Hongzhong has already entered a dead end. You have to use your life to help him break the deadlock."

"I know it's cruel to say this, but I detect that there are at least forty soldiers approaching you. In less than ten minutes, you will be completely surrounded, and you will lose all chances of escape."

"Damn it." Sanrizuki Meifang felt the corners of his eyes getting hot, and he was so anxious that he shed tears:

"What a joke! How did it turn out like this?!"

"I'm sorry, this is the result of my wrong decision." Bonfire Otonashi said heavily: "If an apology can save everything, I would rather die once again to apologize. But now, I can only arrange this plan."

Mikazuki Aikata suddenly felt dizzy, and leaned against the shelter with his eyes closed, resigned to his fate, as if he was praying for something.

In an instant, countless memories flooded into my mind like a kaleidoscope.

Since he was a child, Sanriku Aikata's parents lived overseas for a long time because of work, and he was raised by his grandfather.

Both his grandfather and his father had children in their old age, so in his impression, his grandfather has always been a gray-haired man who looks like he is about to die.

His grandfather treated him very well. He taught him kendo and the tea ceremony since he was a child, and also taught him to read, write poetry, and write.

By chance, he heard that his grandfather had served as a weapons designer in a large-scale war and made great contributions to the country. This rumor made him admire his grandfather very much.

But every time he asked his grandfather for details, his grandfather would answer vaguely and refused to reveal a single word.

When he grew up a little, he left the village where his grandfather lived and returned to the big city to go to school.

There, he was finally reunited with his family.

Their family lives in harmony, and their parents gave birth to a younger sister, with whom they have a good relationship. However, what Mikazuki Aikata misses most is the grandfather who lives in the countryside.

At the same time, Mikazuki Meikata also began to involuntarily ask about the "big war" that his grandfather had participated in. He wanted to know what a great man his grandfather had been.

The road to seeking the truth is not easy. After countless inquiries, the young Mikazuki Meikata finally confirmed that the war his grandfather had participated in was a world-class war, known as the "Second World War."

There are not many documentary records about the "Second World War" in Wano Country, and it is only mentioned briefly in school history textbooks, and the role played by Wano Country in the war is rarely mentioned.

Most records say that Wano Country participated in a war of expansion during the Second World War for the survival of the country. Although it was lost in the end, it was still a glorious war full of honor.

And those warriors who participated in the war were hailed as "heroes" by Wano Country.

So when he visited his grandfather next time, he told him all his discoveries, hoping to make him happy.

"Grandpa, I recently learned about the war you once participated in. It turns out that you are such a great hero!"

Sanrizuki Meifang clearly remembered that his grandfather was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he was about to turn into a skeleton.

Grandpa stared at the bamboo strikes outside the door for a long time without saying a word, and finally spoke:

"Hero? They're lying. I'm not a hero."

"But. This is what the book says." Sanrizuki Meifang was confused.

"They are lying!" Grandpa suddenly became very excited: "That was not a glorious war, it was a war of aggression! We ran to other people's land, burned their villages, robbed their food, slaughtered their men, and raped their women! There is no honor in this!"

Then, Grandpa became depressed again: "We are not heroes, we are demons."

That night, his grandfather told him a lot of things that changed his outlook on life dramatically.

He felt at a loss.

It turns out that the history of this country about the "Second World War" is all lies. It turns out that the grandfather he has always admired so much is actually a war criminal who participated in the war of aggression. He can't accept this!

Later, he didn't see his grandfather for more than a year. He didn't want to see his grandfather because his feelings towards him became complicated.

The next time he saw his grandfather was when he heard that his grandfather was going to the Yanhuang Kingdom across the sea, so he and his family went to see him off.

My father said that my grandfather felt that he would not live long, so he wanted to visit Yanhuang before he died to get rid of a last matter.

However, Grandpa's travel plan failed.

At the airport, Grandpa was blocked in every possible way. Some staff members in suits and wearing headphones even stopped Grandpa and said something to him. Grandpa gave up going abroad and returned home in frustration.

Another month passed and his grandfather called him over alone.

"Those bastards didn't allow me to go to Yanhuang, saying that someone of my status apologizing would bring shame to the country." Grandpa cursed angrily, "It's really shameful. They are still unwilling to face up to their mistakes!!"

"." Sanrizuki Meikata remained silent. He felt that there was a gap between him and his grandfather, and they could no longer have a relaxed and happy chat.

After catching his breath, Grandpa suddenly announced: "Mei Fang, I will pass on all my skills to you."

"Hey, pass them all to me." Sanriku Meikata stood up in surprise.

He knew that his grandfather was a master who was proficient in weapon making. He was very accomplished in both the forging of cold weapons and the assembly of hot weapons, and was unique in design.

However, he had never heard of anyone to whom his grandfather passed on his skills, as if he was going to take these things to the grave.

"Meifang, you have to swear to me and to the Buddha." Grandpa stood up and walked to the Buddha statue, and continued: "After you inherit my mantle, you have to go to Yanhuang on my behalf and apologize to the Yanhuang people!"

"Why?" Sanri Yue Mei Fang was puzzled and could not accept it for a moment: "I don't understand, what does this have to do with me."

"Swear!" The grandfather who always had a kind face suddenly became ferocious. His tone was extremely harsh, and his whole body exuded an aura that seemed more terrifying than a billion murderers!

Sanriku Meikata was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He said as soon as his mind went blank: "I swear! Grandpa, I swear!"

In the days that followed, he transferred to a high school near the village where his grandfather lived. In addition to dealing with his homework every day, he would learn craftsmanship from his grandfather.

A year later, grandpa passed away.

Before the family could arrange a burial for grandpa, several "government officials" showed up and took away grandpa's urn.

They said that heroes like my grandfather should be buried in the Yasukuni Shrine.

Mikazuki Meikata wanted to stop him. He knew that his grandfather would never want him to be called a hero, and he would never want him to be buried in that kind of place.

But he had little influence and could only watch his grandfather being taken away.

After graduating from high school, Sanriku Aikata did not continue his studies, but joined the army. After being discharged from the army, he opened a hardware store and blacksmith shop and lived his life in a daze.

He once swore to his grandfather that he would apologize to the Yanhuang people and atone for the aggressive war of Wano Country in the future. But he was very confused and he didn't know what to do.

Moreover, he didn't understand why he should bear the sins that did not belong to him and apologize for mistakes he had not committed.

Later, he was visited by a mysterious woman.

The woman praised my grandfather highly, and also praised herself for inheriting the "Mikazuki-ryu Weapon Forging Technique".

Moreover, the woman claimed that she could give him a chance to "atone" for his grandfather, a chance to fulfill the promise he made to his grandfather.
And, a chance for him to thank in person the "great hero" who saved him and his family during the Akihabara shooting.
