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

Suddenly, the female warrior tilted her head again, pulled Axue's hand and pointed to a place not far ahead and said.

“…I can’t see at all!”

Axue was really speechless.

I don’t know whether Miyamoto Musashi is just a thick-skinned person, or whether she is always teasing me intentionally or unintentionally.

The next moment, the white-robed Shura's Observation Haki fully opened up, sensing everything that was happening in front of him—

"Sir! Please! If that construction is stopped, my family and I will have no chance of survival!!"

On the main street, a middle-aged man in cloth clothes knelt down and kowtowed on the ground.

In front of him, a sedan chair was forced to stop.

The bald man in the sedan chair smoked his pipe and answered impatiently.

"Where can I get the funds to build a bridge for you? I have to spend a lot of time satisfying that big fool from Owari! If you want to blame someone, blame Lord Nobunaga for being playful!"

"I have money! I have money!!"

The middle-aged man humbly climbed up and took out a copper coin from the lining of his clothes.

That was all his belongings.

"...Isn't that funny? Are you testing me?"

The bald official was completely furious. He smashed the copper coins directly onto the middle-aged man's head.

"Testing me with such a small sum of money? What official can't withstand such a test?! Damn it! It only costs six coins to cross the Sanzu River! Save it for when your whole family dies! Ahahahahahaha!"

In an instant, the warriors beside the sedan chair burst into laughter along with the bald official.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the bureaucrats in that Gunye City are all scum and despicable..."

Miyamoto Musashi on the side smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed.

This kind of civil engineering official is the best at embezzling funds. They swallow up the public welfare projects that were originally used to build bridges, and then use the money to please their superiors. In this way, everything goes smoothly.

But some civilians would lose their job opportunities without these fortifications, and that would be a complete loss.

But while watching the show is just watching the show, Miyamoto Musashi has no intention of interfering.

She simply grabbed Axue's sleeve and warned, "Hey, blind man! Don't blame me for not reminding you, the bodyguards around that official are all experts! If you try to meddle in other people's business, we won't even be able to leave that Gunye City!"

The white-robed Shura simply lowered the brim of his hat and said coldly, "I'm blind. I can't see who's in front of me."

Axue simply unsheathed the rosary pill from her waist.

"—I only know that they are blocking my way."

Chapter 44 You are blocking my way

You and Miyamoto Musashi leave the restaurant and walk onto the street, discovering officials oppressing the people.

The bridge project was supposed to benefit the people of Gunye City, but corrupt officials embezzled the funds and are now abandoning the project.

[Faced with the people's relentless pursuit, the warrior beside the official drew his sword, ready to chop off the unruly citizen's head!]

Miyamoto Musashi advises you to stop meddling in other people's affairs. You have no connection with the people, and killing an imperial official is a wanted murder case. If this continues, neither of you will be able to leave Furuno Castle.

[But you didn't hesitate at all and took action as usual.]

"Who are you, kid?"

The warriors beside the sedan chair frowned as they watched Axue slowly walk out of the crowd. The drooping hat obscured the expression of the uninvited guest.

"You are warriors, right? Why do you pledge allegiance to that foolish lord?"

The warrior beside him answered loudly.

"Of course! Faithfully carry out the lord's orders! This is the samurai's duty!"

"Humph."

Axue smiled coldly, and her thin lips showed sarcasm.

"—To be loyal to one's ruler but not to one's country is foolish loyalty."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!

Miyamoto Musashi in the crowd had already slapped himself on the forehead in frustration. He really didn't know what had happened to him before and why he was hanging out with this Shura in white.

All the warriors beside the sedan chair lowered their waists and placed their right hands on the hilts of their swords!

"Hey! You bastard! Watch your tone!"

"To kill an innocent civilian, is this the only evil you warriors have done to hone your skills?"

Axue slowly took off the hat on her head, revealing her scarred face.

"—To be honest, you guys are pretty boring."

"This guy! Is he the White-robed Shura?!"

The warriors present were not completely dazed. With that flawless white robe and that burned face, wasn't this the White-robed Shura that had recently terrified all the villains?!

"White Shura! This is Furuno Castle! This is Lord Oda Nobunaga's castle! Don't mess around!!"

Although the warrior threatened like this, everyone knew that these bodyguards had already backed down in their hearts.

Facing the warriors' threats with swords drawn, Axue just raised her head and said calmly.

"You are blocking my way, please move aside."

"kill!!!"

In extreme panic, it was the warriors beside the sedan chair who roared first and launched a charge!

And just as the warriors were about to kill Axue, the Shura in white threw the hat in his hand into the sky.

Then the Suzumaru Tsuneji came out of its sheath, like a swimming dragon stunning the world!

As a warrior swung his sword, Axue turned sideways and swung his sword. The swordsman's neck burst into blood and he fell to the ground without a breath.

At the same time, the Shura in white turned his feet, and the knife light turned back, and the chest of the other warrior was suddenly covered in blood!

Finally, Axue shook his long sword, deflected the enemy's attack, and then broke through the air, cutting off his right hand holding the sword on the spot!

And in the moment that just happened, ordinary people cannot even fully capture the detailed process with their naked eyes.

The onlookers could only see the bamboo hat in the sky slowly floating down, blocking the thick blood that was about to splash onto Axue.

In an instant, the group of elite warriors fell to the ground and became motionless.

The Shura in pure white simply wiped the blood off Suzumaru Tsuneji's body with his sword, picked up the blood-stained hat and put it on his head again.

"You, you, you!! Don't, don't kill me!!!"

The bald official in the sedan chair who had been so arrogant was instantly scared like a rabbit. He fell into the sedan chair and frantically backed away with his hands, but his head hit the inner wall of the sedan chair.

"How much money do you want?! I can give you any amount!!"

"Restore the people's work, and then donate all your wealth to help the victims."

Axue passed by the official's sedan chair, put away the Buddhist sword and said nothing more.

"Otherwise, this foolishly loyal warrior will be your fate."

"I, I promise you!!!"

Behind Axue, the kneeling common people were overjoyed. They saw the middle-aged man kowtow and express his gratitude.

"M-my benefactor! Thank you so much for saving me! What do you want in return?"

"Practice Buddhism well and be kind-hearted."

Axue walked forward without asking for any reward.

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi rushed out from the crowd. She quickly bent down and picked up all the scattered copper coins on the ground, and then laughed at the common people.

"We'll take this money first!"

Amidst the middle-aged man's shock, Miyamoto Musashi immediately caught up with Axue in front of her. She patted the white-robed Shura on the shoulder and praised her, "I thought you were going to kill that official too! You really scared me! If you kill us, we'll become wanted criminals! We'll never be able to enter the city again!!"

"I don't kill the weak who give up resistance and surrender, otherwise someone would have died long ago."

Axue coldly brushed away Miyamoto Musashi's intimate gesture of putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you going to be sarcastic with me too?!"

Miyamoto Musashi said unhappily.

"If you ask me, if you don't kill them all, then the officials will become even more ruthless and bully other people. Wouldn't you be harming them?"

"Saving those people was the karmic connection between him and me, and as fate would have it, our karmic connection also ends here."

The Shura in white slightly lowered his hat.

"Buddha does not save people, only they can save themselves; suffering does not bind people, only they can bind themselves."

"Those who can't learn to save themselves will be bullied and humiliated by others their entire lives. I can't save them."

Miyamoto Musashi, upon hearing these words, murmured thoughtfully.

"Buddha cannot save others, only oneself can be saved... You, a blind man, speak quite philosophically!"

If you have the ability to save people, that is the responsibility of your ability.

The rescued person can beg for help, but must never rely on it.

Because in this way, saving people becomes killing people.

The weak only think about your good points, but never think about their own weaknesses.

This cycle will continue over and over again, and your goodness will eventually become your evil, and their weakness will eventually be distorted into goodness that they take for granted.

Miyamoto Musashi likes to do things without leaving any room for maneuver. Once he takes action, he will kill everyone without mercy.

But that official is dead, so who can guarantee that the new official will be a good person?

Buddha only saves those who are destined to be saved.

In order to save the lives of their families, the people knelt down and confronted the officials at the risk of their own lives.

That was the fate he had fought for.

"It seems... I have new insights to record in my 'Book of Five Rings'."

Miyamoto Musashi raised his lips slightly and looked at Axue's back with a hint of joy in his eyes.

So she made her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted into Axue's ear.

"Hey! Blind man! I suddenly have a feeling! Our next journey will definitely be very interesting!"

"Do you mean that I am mad at you?"

"Oh my! We are destined to be together! Oh... I remember how I used that adjective..."

Miyamoto Musashi scratched his hair, then tapped his palm and said.

"love at first sight?"

"...It's just fate, right?"

Chapter 45 Times have changed, my lord!

[The story of you openly killing samurai in Furuno Castle has spread.]

[During the Warring States Period, the status of samurai was very high, unlike the bandits and vagrants of everyday life.]

[They had a privilege called [ruthless asking], which meant that the samurai could kill any peasant who offended them without any punishment.]

[People are divided into four classes: samurai, merchants, artisans, and farmers. Since the shogunate era, samurai wielding sharp swords have gradually been classified as the most noble class.]
