My mother's love song

How many years do you think I've been a maid? I can tell what you're thinking by looking at your lazy attitude!"

Musashi: Wait, could it be that...?

“Where on earth did you recruit this person from? Why are you taking so long? It’s already lunch time, why haven’t you changed into your uniform yet?

Really, if the family wasn't really too busy recently, why would they hire someone like you to come in and work... Come with me to get the clothes!"

Now Musashi finally understood.

The Yuan family happened to recruit a new group of maids today, and I was mistaken for one of them when I appeared in the mansion.

"Senior, what you are teaching me is that Red Bean Paste Smith Ma San fell to the west tower."

Musashi decided to take advantage of the situation.

I didn't expect that my luck would be so good that I could successfully sneak into the Yuan family so easily.

When I saw that the luck value on my Assassin panel was E, I felt a little unhappy.

Rhodes also explained to her the reason for Miyamoto Musashi's Killing Class Lucky E.

Legend has it that in order to prove that he was unrivaled in the world, Miyamoto Musashi decided to find Tsukahara Bokuden, the most famous swordsman in Japan's Warring States Period, to compete with him.

When he entered the Tsukahara family, he saw the old sword master eating around the fire, so he rushed forward and drew his sword to chop him, but Tsukahara easily blocked the sword with a pot lid. Musashi, who was so ashamed, retreated.

Of course, this is just a legend made up by later generations. Musashi and Tsukahara Bokuden were not from the same generation at all. When Musashi was born, the swordsman had been dead for ten years.

What a boring legend...

Although Musashi does not value fame and fortune, his desire to win is twice as strong as anyone else's.

She decided to avenge her previous humiliation and prove her worth as an Assassin today.

As he followed the maid, Musashi started a conversation: "Um, is the Minamoto family very busy recently?"

The maid snorted, "Of course, otherwise they wouldn't have hired a delicate woman like you to do the job."

"……Ah ha ha."

The maid tilted her head and glanced at Musashi: "Why? Are you saying that you think it's too hard and don't want to do it anymore?"

"No, that's not true! I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Musashi replied with a flattering smile.

After a while, she asked.

"By the way, has anything strange happened in the Yuan family recently?"

"Why do you want to know this?"

The maid replied without turning her head.

Musashi suddenly had an idea and said, "No... I just heard some strange rumors while chatting with everyone this morning..."

She decided to take a gamble.

If the killer was really hiding in the mansion, there was no way strange things wouldn't happen. There was no way the servants wouldn't hear about it.

I guess there must have been some rumors among the servants of the Minamoto family.

Hearing what Musashi said, the maid side-glanced at her meaningfully.

"Is that so... You did hear the rumor after all."

"!"

Knowing that he had entered the main storyline, Musashi immediately became fully alert.

"Haha... You're just a helper. It's not easy for everyone. I don't mean to hide anything from you, a newbie."

The maid sighed and said, “Indeed, a series of very strange and bizarre things have happened in this mansion recently.

It is for this reason that many timid girls cannot bear the shock and choose to resign, so we will recruit new people at this time. "

……really.

Musashi narrowed his eyes. Was it a ghost? Was it really the ghost that hated Genji?

"Well, what exactly happened?"

Musashi scratched his cheek and asked sheepishly, "My seniors are unwilling to tell me what happened."

"..."

The maid was silent for a moment, then slowly explained to Musashi a series of strange things that had happened in the Minamoto family recently.

It is said that several servants once saw the figure of a strange beauty wearing a Tang-style dress in the garden or empty room in the evening, giving off a hazy feeling of floating.

When they wanted to go forward to find out what was going on, they found nothing there.

"So, what is called... a ghost?!"

Musashi was surprised and said, "Uh, I really didn't see it wrong? After all, there are many girls in this house, it's normal to make a mistake, right? I'm usually under a lot of work pressure, so..."

"It would be fine if it was just one person who saw it wrong! Several girls saw similar things! Are you trying to say that everyone is lying?"

Musashi was speechless, and then the maid told him the second strange thing, which was related to Minamoto no Raikou himself who lived in the mansion.

"Recently, Lord Raikou, who has been staying indoors, has started to like beef dishes."

"Aha?"

Musashi blinked.

In ancient Japan, which was surrounded by the sea, more than 95% of people's protein intake came from fish.

Until the eve of World War II, pork was rarely used as food by the Japanese, let alone the extremely luxurious beef.

"Hi, there's nothing wrong with liking beef..."

Musashi felt that eating only fish and not red meat was a traditional bad habit in Japan.

"Lord Raikou is a samurai who protects the peace of the capital. Eating more beef can keep you healthy. I like beef, too! You can never forget it after you've tasted it once. Beef burgers are really delicious."

The maid rolled her eyes at her, thinking how could a commoner like you have ever eaten beef, and then said, "Of course it's true that Lord Raikou likes beef, but the problem is..."

“This is something that can only be discussed here.

The maid whispered stealthily:

"These days, Lord Raikou eats almost the same amount of beef as a cow every day."

Musashi: ".........a cow?"

The maid nodded and said, "Yes. In fact, this is already known to all the servants.

Lord Raikou's appetite has increased significantly in the past month. The previous lord ate the same amount as ordinary people and always pursued light flavors.

But now he seems like a different person, locking himself in his room all day and eating for the entire afternoon!"

"One month?"

This coincides with the time when the Genji warriors were attacked, Musashi thought to himself.

"Lord Raikou is a powerful warrior with extraordinary powers that ordinary people cannot reach. We all know this, but...

Eating a cow's worth of beef every day...it's really too scary!"

At this point, a hint of uneasiness appeared between the maid's brows.

Not to mention her, even Musashi himself felt uncomfortable.

The fact that he didn't let anyone see him eating made people feel very weird from the bottom of their hearts.

What exactly does the change that has taken place in Minamoto no Raikou mean? I will report to the Master later and hear the Grand Magician's opinion.

While walking and talking, they had already arrived at the changing room.

Musashi took the uniform from the maid and began to change.

At this time, the maid who had been hesitant to speak bit her lip and said, "Actually, there is another strange thing."

"Anything else!?"

The maid's voice lowered even more.

“What I am going to talk about next is actually a strange thing that I experienced a few days ago.

...I haven't told anyone yet, and you shouldn't tell anyone either."

"Yeah, of course."

Musashi listened attentively while praying that all the maids in the world would not be as loud-mouthed as her.

"Last weekend night, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw it when I passed by the bamboo forest in the backyard..."

"What did you see!?"

The maid said with a serious expression: “Although it was dark and I couldn’t see the details clearly, I did see it.

There is a terrifying monster... wandering in the back garden of the Yuan family! It has horns and a body as huge as a hill. When it walks, the ground shakes!"

She exclaimed in a low voice with a look of panic on her face: "It can't be wrong, it's Ugly Imperial Master! Young Master Ugly Imperial Master is back!"

"Ugly Emperor...Master?"

Seeing Musashi's confused expression, the maid explained.

Ushigozen was the elder brother of Minamoto no Raikou and the first son born to the head of the family, Minamoto no Mitsunaka.

Rumor has it that this ugly emperor has an abnormality and is an ominous child with demon blood flowing in his body.

Although he died early, many people believed that he was not dead, but was exiled by his father.

Now, with the obsession of revenge, Ugly Gozen returns to the house where he was born! In order to kill all the members of the Genji clan who abandoned him!

Musashi: “…………”

Under the guidance of the maid, she imagined a family ethics murder drama that is common in the "Kindaichi" series of mystery novels.

Now Musashi can make a conclusion that the recent series of murders in Kyoto were indeed committed by Ushi Gozen.

Musashi has a deep connection with Buddhism and possesses knowledge of the future, so he naturally knows how ominous and dangerous Ushigozen is.

I must inform the Master as soon as possible...

"Okay, okay, no more chatting. Let's get to work!"

After that, as a newly appointed maid, Musashi was assigned her initial work by her senior.

Her first job at the Minamoto household was to change the tea for Lord Raikou who was meeting with guests.

"The guest Raikou is meeting, wait... isn't that the Master?!"

It was not until he came to the door with tea that Musashi remembered this.

In other words, behind this door are Rod and Minamoto no Raikou.

What are they doing now?

It was very quiet inside and it looked like there was no quarrel.

"excuse me."

Musashi straightened his expression slightly, cleared his throat, and opened the Japanese sliding door.

"Let me change...the tea for you two...!?"

When seeing what happened in the room, Musashi, who was standing at the door, had a stunned expression.

In the center of the spacious Japanese-style room, there was a woman sitting.

With soft long hair, slender limbs, and charming facial features, the pair of red eyes are particularly eye-catching.

Just sitting there, he exudes an incredible presence, and his full and majestic chest is also very astonishing.

Musashi held his breath: That is Minamoto no Raikou, who is known as the strongest in Heian. As expected, he is in the Black Rope Hell with Rider... No, something is wrong.

Compared to the Kyoto guardian in the legend, the woman in front of him was obviously more

Even more enchanting and disturbing.

So, where is Musashi's Master Rod?

The answer is in women's arms.

The young man rested his head lazily on the beauty's lap.
