I'm in Type-Moon, I have a Holy Evil Simulator

"You truly have a heart as noble as that of a god or Buddha. You are a true holy monk of Linquan Temple..."

The food that Hidesaburo provided for the winter was indeed enough for Torachiyo and Axue to survive the period of building the paddy fields.

But Axue still wanted to distribute this bag of food to everyone.

However, the reason was not as noble as Xiuzabulang thought. Axue was just worried that some people would die in the fields due to hunger and overwork.

As a result, the progress of paddy field construction will be delayed again and again, which will be extremely unfavorable to the situation faced by the Torachiyo faction.

So the next morning, Xiuzabulang took the bag of grain and set up an iron pot at the entrance of the village. He began to cook it into porridge and distributed it to everyone in the village.

Every villager who suffered from hunger showed a happy smile after a long time.

They held a bowl of clear porridge that obviously didn't have much rice in it, but they could laugh heartily at each other and their neighbors.

Everyone seemed to have gotten rid of the dead air, as if they were reborn!

But not all villagers came to the scene.

The village elders never smelled the aroma of the rice porridge and fell into a deep sleep, never to wake up again.

Torachiyo and Axue pushed open the wooden door of the elder's house, only to find that the old man had left a suicide note.

The content of the suicide note was also very simple, which meant that after his death, his uncle Hidesaburo would take over his position and become the village elder.

Next to the suicide note was a bag of food for the winter.

"He... could have survived by eating this bag of food, so why..."

Torachiyo looked at the old man's peaceful face and said with embarrassment.

"Why... don't you live?"

As for Axue, he faced the old man's body. The child in black clasped his hands together and murmured.

"Although this village is already old, there are still people who love it..."

The two men handed the bag of grain to Hidesaburo, and the current elder was responsible for the grain's destination.

Faced with the spread of famine, the former elder chose to end his own life and entrust the hope of survival to the young people in the village.

【The construction of the paddy field is going very smoothly.】

More and more people came to help in the fields, even bandits from the mountains. They were originally residents of this village, but because they couldn't make a living, they fled to the mountains and became bandits.

[Within five days, this time the paddy field was even more successful and perfect than the last one!]

All the villagers are working hard to completely transform this paddy field and ensure a better life for the entire village!

"Fill it with water!"

Under Hidesaburo's order, water began to be gradually poured in from the other end of the canal.

All the villagers gathered in front of the paddy field, watching the water flow gradually along the canal into the field, as if the hope of life became active like the water.

That expression wasn't the intense one that carried with it the extravagant hope of staying alive.

It is a gentle expectation for the fruits of labor.

"We did it! Xue!"

Torachiyo was about to hug Axue, but he found that there was no joy on Axue's face.

The child in black shook his head untimely and said:

"Brother, we have to wait and see tomorrow, because it is still a question whether the paddy fields can retain water."

"Obviously, the fields will overflow when the flood comes, so how can the water not be retained?"

Torachiyo didn't understand why Axue would say that the paddy fields would not be able to retain water now that the paddy fields had been built?

“It’s just nature’s way.”

Hidesaburo stared at the paddy field, looked at the shimmering water, and sighed with his head down.

"People have built paddy fields before, but they couldn't retain the water. This kind of thing depends entirely on the will of nature."

Faced with the two's worried attitudes, Torachiyo did not believe what Axue and Hidesaburo said.

She simply waved her hand at the other villagers and said, "It will definitely work! I am the reincarnation of Bishamonten! The paddy fields will definitely look the same tomorrow! Everyone can go out and plant rice in the fields when spring arrives!"

After hearing Torachiyo's encouragement, the villagers, whose expressions had been frozen, suddenly smiled and cheered, "Yes, yes! We reclaimed the paddy fields under the leadership of Sir Torachiyo! How could we fail?"

"Master Torachiyo is the Buddhist God of War! Now we just need to go home and sleep to conserve our energy! We can go to the fields and plant rice next spring!"

"Long live Lord Torachiyo! Long live the Nagao family!! Long live Echigo Province!!!"

After calming down all the villagers, the only ones left standing by the paddy field were Torachiyo Axue and Hidesaburo.

"Brother, you've been busy all day. It's time to go back to the village and rest."

In response to Axue's suggestion, Tora Chiyo stared at the water and shook his head.

"Axue, go back by yourself. I plan to...stay here all night."

"Stay all night?"

Torachiyo's decision shocked both Axue and Hidesaburo.

Because this is an all-night activity, which is extremely energy-consuming.

Torachiyo herself had hardly eaten, and even though she was a Buddhist martial god, she might faint completely after staying up all night.

"I have made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me."

Torachiyo was the type of person who would never turn back, so she sat down beside the field, staring at the paddy field without blinking.

"I will definitely protect this field and not let anyone steal it, not even God!"

"...Okay, Senior Brother, I'll go get you some more clothes so you don't freeze in the middle of the night."

Axue hurried back to the house, found some clothes and put them next to her senior brother to prevent Hu Chiyo from catching a cold in the middle of the night.

The black-haired girl still stared at the water, determined to keep a close eye on this paddy field and not let anyone steal it.

Seeing Torachiyo's determination, even Hidesaburo, who had previously spoken discouraging words, secretly knelt before the statue on the roadside, clasped his hands together and pleaded—

"God, you must help us..."

The old man shed tears sadly.

"Even within a grain of rice, there lives a god. Please grant salvation to this village and to Lord Torachiyo..."

"Even if it means taking my life, I will not hesitate..."

Now all is lost.

All that remains is to obey God's will.

The only thing everyone can do now is to pray and hope that everything goes well tomorrow.

So this long night passed in this pious atmosphere.

The next day, Axue walked out of the house with the villagers, but only heard a plop.

Torachiyo, the Buddhist martial god who had never surrendered, was now kneeling helplessly in front of the paddy field, his lips trembling as he spoke—

"How, how could this happen?!"

She pounded the ground with her fist until it was pierced by the stones and bled. The Buddhist martial god actually bit his lips tightly, his handsome face full of unwillingness!

"Why! Why did all the water disappear overnight? I was watching it the whole time! I was watching the water the whole time! Who stole it?!"

"Lord Buddha! Why, why did you bring such a cruel punishment upon this village!!"

And beneath the shocked and desperate faces of all the villagers, the paddy fields that were once sparkling with rippling water now looked like completely dry fields. The clear water that everyone had irrigated with great hope yesterday—

Back to zero overnight.

The water still leaked away.

Chapter 4800: Man Conquers Nature ( words)

cry.

despair.

collapse.

“Ohhhhhh!! This is outrageous! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!! This is outrageous!!”

Some villagers could not accept this cruel fact and scratched their hair frantically with their skinny fingers. The hair that had already lost nutrition and became dry was pulled out one by one!

"Why?! We clearly have Lord Torachiyo! We clearly have the reincarnation of Bishamonten, the God of War! The gods should be looking after us!"

What's worse, some people kept hitting their heads against the big rocks next to them and screaming heart-wrenchingly.

"Is our faith not strong enough? Is it true that the Buddha is not protecting us? Is it true that Lord Torachiyo is not the savior of Echigo Province?!"

Hidesaburo's expression was numb. He was leaning on a cane, but he didn't go crazy like the others. Or perhaps he had already fallen into madness in this state.

"...Still not working?"

Torachiyo just knelt on the ground.

After venting her anger, she remained silent and knelt on the ground for a long time.

The villagers' madness kept echoing in my ears.

The villagers who had been unilaterally promised a bright future by her were now completely devastated by the shattering of this tiny hope.

Perhaps if Torachiyo had not said so confidently that Mizuta would succeed, they would just smile bitterly and turn around and continue to lie there numbly, just like in the past.

Instead of doing what is happening now, where they have to put in all their efforts and finally see the hope they have finally gained being trampled upon so easily before their eyes!

At this moment, an extremely cold and dark emotion suddenly filled the heart of this black-haired girl.

enough.

Stop it.

This is not a responsibility you should bear.

Go back to Rinsen-ji Temple, go back to Kasugayama Castle, go back to that world where there is only winning and losing, Torachiyo.

You are the kind of monster who simply doesn't understand human nature. So why are you doing these thankless tasks in this unknown village now?

Is it to fulfill your junior brother Axue’s wish?

Just continue to be that high and mighty Bishamonten, the one everyone needs to look up to!

You are different from these mortals. You were born above the clouds.

You are the god of war who is invincible in every battle, you are the god of war who is destined to gallop on the battlefield!

Even if I die on the battlefield, it would be easier than dying here, right?

The dark emotions in his heart grew, making Hu Chiyo's dark golden eyes even darker.

The howling in my ears sounded more and more sarcastic and noisy!

At this moment, the Buddhist martial god only wanted to draw the samurai sword at his waist and kill all these guys who only knew how to cry and scream, all of them to death!

"Danzo, take me there."

Just when everyone was falling into despair, Axue jumped into the farmland on her own and called for Kato Danzo to show up.

"......there?"

Kato Danzo didn't know which side was over there. She was just very worried about the mental state of her lord Torachiyo.

"Didn't you hear? There's water flowing over there."

Axue pointed to her ears and replied to Kato Danzo.

The mechanical ninja's narrow and long phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, and he found that there was a unique reflective spot at the edge of the farmland.

Kato Danzo leaned in to take a look, then frowned and replied, "My Lord Axue, there is a pool of water here."

Waterlogging is not uncommon, as it is everywhere during floods.

But after hearing this, Xiuzabulang's face changed drastically. He immediately threw down his crutches and ran to the accumulated water in the farmland.

Just as Kato Danzo said, there was actually a large pool of water at the edge of the farmland.

The accumulated water just stayed quietly on the edge of the farmland. I'm afraid it will only leave when the sunlight completely burns it dry.
