Inazuma swordsmith named Senko Muramasa

"Muramasa-dono, how about joining us for dinner after get off work?"

The leader of the group of craftsmen looked at Muramasa who was still taking measurements above and asked loudly.

"Ok?"

Muramasa glanced back at the craftsmen below, then considered tonight's itinerary.

"Forget it, forget it. The Shebuxing still wants me to go over there."

“When one job is completed, it’s time to prepare for the next one.”

As he said this, Muramasa jumped down from above and patted his palms which were covered with debris.

"It's really hard for celebrities..."

Although he was just a single blacksmith, his knives were no less numerous or of better quality than those from large forges.

It is said that among some samurai, Muramasa has been given the title of "Inazuma's Perpetual Hammer".

So he immediately accepted the subsequent commission from the company's magistrate, which was not surprising to the other party. After sighing, he turned his attention to the statue again:

"Why, by the way, do you want to leave such a large stone base down there?"

At that time, the size of the stone base was originally intended to be only one-half to one-third of its current thickness.

But with Muramasa's suggestions and adjustments, this stone base has become somewhat visually dominant.

"Isn't this more in line with the image of the 'Grand Emperor'?"

He looked up, seeing that the statue's eyes were partially looking straight ahead, but from that height all he could see was the bay in the distance and the thunderclouds.

Sacrificing some beauty for the sake of meaning is nothing new in sculpture.

Although, I just feel that I should leave some space to record something - although I don’t know what it is now.

"The next step is not for the craftsman to be responsible for inlaying the Eye of God, right?"

Muramasa suppressed his inner monologue and confirmed with the craftsman.

After receiving the confirmation, he did not stay any longer and turned to leave the completion site.

"It's been a while since the war started, right? I wonder what the situation is like."

……

On the island of Umiji, inside the Coral Palace

"How are things going on the outlying island?"

The supreme leader of Umijima, the "Genjinjinmi-no-chan," wrote down a plan on a piece of paper while asking his subordinates about the progress of other matters.

"Yes,"

The witch below was ordered to begin reporting:

"We have purchased large quantities of grain at low prices from some foreign traders."

"Some merchants are still refusing to lower their prices. They believe the lockdown is only temporary and they don't need to sell their goods to protect their capital."

"But most of them are not sure themselves, and it's only a matter of time before they give in."

"Our people have already taken the food and evaded the inspection of the Kanjo Bugyo, heading towards Umijima."

The shrine maiden was very proud and even felt that Inazuma's examination was nothing special.

"Don't be too optimistic."

The "Mankind Goddess" didn't even raise her head, her hands moving without pausing, her brain processing information simultaneously on both sides:

"I'm afraid Inazuma also hopes that this war will start, and that it won't end too quickly."

"I don't know the reason yet, but the smooth progress of this purchase must be due to this."

Hearing the leader's words, the witches below immediately restrained their overflowing smiles:

"Yes."

"There's one more thing," the miko continued, "We've discovered a spy from Tenryo Bugyo around Kaigi Island."

"Do you know the origin?"

"I'm not sure, I just know it was someone of the same mind, named 'Lunoin Heizo'."

"Let's lock him up for now." She thought for a moment and told the witch below: "If there is a divine eye, it is likely that he came here to escape the Eye Hunting Order."

"Even if there are other purposes, we cannot gain their trust now and avoid being distracted by it."

The witch nodded and looked at the walls of the room. Just looking at the words on them made her scalp tingle.

More than two hundred strategies took into account all possible enemy marches and formations.

"Forgive my stupidity, Lord Xinhai..."

The witch called out the leader's real name for the first time:

"I'm afraid these strategies are difficult for the soldiers below to understand, right?"

“They don’t need to understand.”

Xinhai stopped writing and hung the scroll on the wall:

"These are what we, the rear-line military advisors, need to see."

"After all, the so-called golden tricks are never the ones you carry around with you."

The Swordsmith from Another World: Chapter 66 Curious Miss Kamisato Wants to Know

"Is this your new home, Hailing?"

After he had some free time, Muramasa finally found time to go to Hailing's current residence, and two other people came with him.

"Yes, Sister Xiaogong helped me find the house."

Hailing smiled and took out the tea set, wanting to entertain the others in the room like a host.

"what…"

However, perhaps due to nervousness or unfamiliarity with the tea ceremony, his movements seemed a little clumsy.

The reason lies with the other two girls sitting inside the door. One of them is Xiao Gong, and the other is...

"Can I help?"

Linghua saw her embarrassment and took the initiative to step forward and finish the rest of the lesson for her.

"Thank you, Ms. Kamisato..."

Hailing's face felt hot when she realized that she seemed to have caused trouble.

"After all, she's the daughter of the Ban Hai Er Sheng family. It's normal for her proficiency to be a little different from that of the ladies from higher families. Don't worry about it."

Muramasa laughed and said that he had originally made an appointment to visit Hailing's house today, but since today happened to be the day when the Kamisato family was giving swordsmanship instruction, it was natural for him to invite the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family as well.

"I didn't expect even Kamisato-san would come? I feel like I don't see you very often."

As the manager of the fireworks shop, Xiao Gong was not as shy as the fisherman's girl, and started chatting with Kamisato Ayaka very familiarly.

"I haven't had any important matters at home lately, but I was invited by Mr. Muramasa, so I came to visit."

She maintained a peaceful smile, restrainedly showing her desire to express herself, and did not say that it was Muramasa's identity that allowed her to make an exception and travel.

Her slender fingers gently brushed the edge of the warm teacup, and she continued to talk about the recent interesting things in Inazuma City, and expressed her concern for Hailing's academic progress.

But Xiao Gong kept focusing his attention on Muramasa, seeing that the swordsmith seemed to have lost interest in the family matters that he usually took an interest in.

Strange, he's always been curious about these things...

Xiao Gong, the know-it-all in the city, was mentally collecting recent events that might have triggered Muramasa's emotions.

Then, Xiao Gong's smile, which was always filled with enthusiasm, faded a little, and a probing look appeared in his bright eyes:

"By the way, the latest news about the battle on the front line has been reported back."

Sure enough, the copper eyes turned a little faster than before.

"Um……"

Someone mentioned it, and Linghua took the opportunity to take over the topic.

"The Tenryo Bugyo has achieved a phased victory and has successfully suppressed the Shiina Beach... This is the Tenryo Bugyo's current statement."

"However, according to insiders, they suffered a crushing defeat when they landed on Kaigi Island."

No matter what the Tianling Fengxing people said, they are still regular troops. A great victory on the front battlefield is not a victory, but a defeat in the landing battle is a shame.

"Is that why we say 'a phased victory'?" Muramasa thought.

As long as we say this, even if it is pointed out that the subsequent landing failed, we can say that it was just a tentative attack.

"But why?"

Hailing was a little puzzled. She had a deep understanding of how powerless the weak could be when there was a huge gap in power.

And in her worldview, there is no force stronger than the general's elite troops.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere fell silent.

After a long time, Xiao Gong finally broke the silence and said:

"Even if we want to deduce it, the information we have now is too little, isn't it?"

Then she turned to Linghua.

"Linghua, do you have any other inside information? 2P"

This question stumped Linghua. She was stunned for a while before shaking her head.

"Usually, matters like these are handled by my brother, and I only occasionally get some information from the servants."

"But I'm also very curious. This is a rare opportunity... Perhaps we can ask someone?"

The Egret Princess did not explain what this opportunity was, but there was a rare glint of anticipation in her eyes; at least her curiosity was genuine.

At this moment, almost everyone in the field fixed their eyes on Muramasa.

“How could this old man…”

I wanted to say that I didn't know anyone related to this, but Muramasa caught a faint hint:

"Hmm? There really should be one I can ask."

After saying that, he stood up, walked to the closet, and pulled out a raccoon cat:

"Cat girl, you should know something, right?"

"It's not a raccoon cat, it's a raccoon dog!"

The dazed little girl who was dragged out was Zaoyou. She rubbed her eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction:

"Besides regular contact, I haven't heard anything about it lately!"

There was actually a girl here, and I hadn't noticed at all...

Linghua was slightly startled, but found that the people around her seemed to be used to it, so she observed carefully.

"Then please find out. You are a ninja, right~"

Muramasa asked as if it was a matter of course, saying that it was a rare opportunity to take advantage of others.

"Eh~ But I'm a total layman when it comes to getting information, eh?"

Zaoyou sleeps here every day and has free meals, so it’s hard for her to refuse directly when the other party asks her for help.

"Then I'll leave it to you, layman."

……

Not long after, the little ninja of the final episode "rolled" back from outside with a list in his hand.

"We're all here... Haha~ I'm so sleepy..."

It seems that he wrote it down on paper to prevent himself from forgetting:

"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep..."
