Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

"Otherwise, the Battle of Kawagoe Castle the year before last and the Battle of Odaihara at the beginning of this year would never have been lost so miserably."

"Since the master of the family trusts me, from now on, I will be the sharp sword in the master's hand..."

As he spoke, Ota Suge was thinking unconsciously:

I've never heard of Yukitaka Sanada?

He was unexpectedly appointed as the commander of the First Legion. Not only was he superior to me in general, but he was also appointed as the military advisor, in charge of the overall situation of the family.

Is this person very powerful? We must observe him carefully.

Chapter 32 makes my blood boil, is that it?

"I never thought that after all the years of hard work in training my skills in exorcism, I would end up chopping trees here."

While Coral was chopping the tree hard, he was thinking about many things indignantly.

The day before yesterday morning, I explained the current situation and the stories I heard to my father.

At that time, my father said nothing, but just let himself and Amber stay here.

But what was unexpected was that only one day later, he came back with all the men, women and children in the village.

Of course, that's all right.

After all, the development prospects here are broad, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this place is about to become the center of the Kanto region.

Although many people in the village are demon hunters, most of them are just ordinary people.

Moreover, you can't make much money in the business of exorcising monsters. It's risky, and you're prone to retaliation by monsters. You're also always looked down upon.

So, when someone recruited them, everyone immediately rushed over with all their belongings.

This was quite normal, after all, the most common people we saw were envoys from daimyo. And the Kanto Kanrei was obviously a very important official in everyone's eyes.

But, this is clearly a promising situation in the future, so why am I still chopping wood here?

While deep in thought, Coral noticed that someone beside her was taking notes with a pen and paper, so she stopped.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me so strangely?"

"I am Umino Yoritsuna, and I am here to count the work points and observe the abilities of everyone in the family, following the orders of the head of the family and my elder brother Yukitaka."

"What are work points?"

"At today's morning meeting, the head of the family established a new rule. From today on, our family will implement a work point system.

Each person can get ten work points every day, and those with outstanding performance can get one or two more points at the discretion of the government.

Work points can be exchanged for food, cloth, etc., and can also be used as a reference for promotion. "

Coral thought thoughtfully, is it similar to a salary?

“Why not just give the money?”

"That's not clear." Kaino Yoshinaga wrote down the last thing and said with emotion, "The ballpoint pen and notebook provided by the master are convenient and easy to use. From the small, we can see the future of our family."

"Oh…"

Coral responded expressionlessly.

"In fact, considering Miss Coral's situation, it would be a waste of her talent to cut down trees here."

"What do you want to say?"

"Miss Coral is very skilled, better than many warriors. If Miss Coral is interested, I can arrange for you to do a more suitable job."

After hearing the last sentence, Coral's gloomy eyes gradually brightened.

Endless chopping wood, cutting stones, and never-ending building of houses can be regarded as training, but it is too boring.

Relatively speaking, exorcising demons is more suitable for me.

Even if you don't kill the monsters, there's nothing wrong with patrolling around and being on guard against possible enemies.

"If it's okay, thank you very much."

"In that case, Miss Coral, please follow me."

"it is good."

Following behind Umino Yoshitsugu, Sango came to the inner room where Yemen and others lived.

"This place has been expanded a little bit, and now it can be called a castle tower without any problem."

"But why did you bring me here? Are you here to see the Uesugi governor?"

While pondering, Coral suddenly realized that Kaino Yoshitsugu had left at some point, and several elderly ladies came over.

Next to it was a set of clean new clothes and a large wooden barrel into which an old lady was pouring water.

"Can I take a shower? I've been chopping trees since breakfast today, so I'm a bit dirty."

"But, isn't it too extravagant to have such a big bucket for bathing and have someone help boil water and prepare clothes?"

Although she thought about it, Coral did not refuse.

Under the guidance of several old ladies, I quickly took a shower and changed into new clothes.

Afterwards, he was led to the front hall.

At the square table, three people from Yemen were reading and doing exercises.

There was a fork-tail cat lying on the table, eating biscuits in small bites. At first glance, Coral thought Mica had been kidnapped.

After looking carefully for a while, I found that it was just a kitten of the same species as Yunmu.

Noticing the coral, Kagome asked curiously:

"Why are you here? Coral."

"Ms. Kagome, this is Mr. Umino's new maid, who also serves as his bodyguard."

Hearing the old lady's voice behind her, Coral turned around suddenly and stared at her in surprise.

I just praised myself for my skills, which were better than many warriors, but in the end I was arranged to be a maid here?

Although they are also part-time guards, do these people need guards?

No, it's not necessary anyway.

"Maid?" Kagome was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and asked with a smile, "What does Miss Coral think? Did your family say something?"

? ?

Coral was slightly startled, but quickly reacted.

If I explain things clearly here, I should be able to refuse this job.

But if I did that, I would have to go back to being a carpenter or a stonemason.

"Not really. My father should be busy repairing the house now. After all, it's for me to live in, so I don't have any complaints."

"But I really don't want to continue doing those boring and dull jobs. I have been reciting all kinds of demon-killing knowledge day after day and training my fighting skills for so many years, not just to cut trees here."

"However, I don't know much about maids, so I'm not sure what I should do."

"If possible, I would actually prefer to do some guard or patrol work."

"It's a pity that this kind of work is left to flying monsters." Ye Men interrupted, "Compared to humans, monsters have stronger eyesight and can accurately sense evil spirits and malice, making them more suitable for sentinels."

Coral instantly thought of the little birds hovering in the sky and remained silent.

“Is there no other job that would be more suitable for me?”

"If you don't mind, would you like to help out at the garment factory? We brought back too many wolf carcasses before. Although many of them have been sealed with talismans, there are still a lot of them that need to be processed every day."

"No."

Coral did not hesitate at all. Last night she heard the neighbor aunt complain that the garment factory had been busy from morning to night these past two days, peeling, drying in the sun, and air-drying, repeating the same thing all day long.

To be honest, this is worse than cutting down trees.

"I have trained hard for so many years, but not for something like this."

"I understand your feelings very well. I have often thought about this before. I have to go to school every day and take exams regularly. But I am destined to inherit a shrine in the future, and the knowledge I learned in school is useless. What's the point of learning it?"

Ye Men paused for a moment and sighed:

"But in fact, only by learning more knowledge and skills can we make more choices when we encounter troubles."

"I think the reason why your father taught you the knowledge of exorcising demons was not to let you inherit the family business and become a great demon exorcist, but only to let you live better."

Coral couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and the words her father had said inexplicably emerged in her mind.

"If Miss Coral is really bored, would you like to read with us?" Ye Men suggested with a smile.

"May I?"

"Of course, leaving aside math and English, the other books are quite interesting even if you read them as stories."

"Thank you, then I'm welcome."

Seeing Kagome pulling a chair and sitting down next to her, Sango hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.

From the beginning, she was actually very interested in the beautifully looking books on the table.

Chapter 33: Just an Unknown Person in History

English?

I can understand these two words, but after that, they are mostly strange characters.

"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the southern barbarian language, right?"

"Yes, it's one of the required courses for primary and secondary school students." Kagome thought for a moment, then added, "It's okay in China, but English is basically used for communication internationally. As a global lingua franca, you have to learn it."

"It seems that there are southern barbarians in Kyoto and Kyushu Island. Can you talk to them?"

"Not very good."

Kagome looked embarrassed and said with a smile:

"We are not good students. Our grades are only above average. Now that we are here, if we don't study regularly, the probability of failing the course will be very high."

"If Shanhu is bored, she can read this book. It contains many interesting stories and illustrations. It is quite interesting."

"Thank you."

After taking the book handed to her by Kagome and reading it for a while, Sango suddenly reacted and looked a little dazed for a moment.

"Is Oda Nobunaga such a great man? When people talk about him, they often just call him the big fool of Owari."

"Nobunaga has enough courage, knows how to identify and use people, and has good military talent. As long as he doesn't die on the way, he will definitely succeed."

Ye Men paused, then said:

"However, if Nobunaga had not been able to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Okema-san, or even been killed in return, the only nickname that would have been passed down to later generations would probably be the Great Fool of Owari."

"Of course, if Nobunaga or Nobutada survived in Honnoji, they would have been able to unify the world, and there would have been no monkeys or old turtles, and their historical evaluation would have been higher."

? ?

Shanhu stared at Yemen blankly, then looked down at the textbook in her hand. After a few seconds, she suddenly realized:

"Are you from the future?"

"Eh...? Didn't I tell you before?"

"I don't remember."

"Even if we didn't say it, you should be able to tell, right? We didn't hide it on purpose."

"How could I tell? I always thought you were nobles from Kyoto or somewhere else. But, you are actually from the future?"

After looking at the three people, Shanhu asked curiously:

“Will I appear in history books in the future?”

"Ha ha…"

Hearing this, Ye Men laughed unconsciously and shook his head slightly:

"It's not easy to be listed in history books, especially in this era when there is a lot of discrimination against women."
