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

"...No wonder you, White-robed Shura, are covered in burns. I heard a raging fire broke out in Linquan Temple three years ago."

Oda Nobunaga also came over and said with a vigilant look on his face.

"It's said that the demon woman Xian Taoyuan sent people to set fire to the temple, burning the entire Linquan Temple to ashes on New Year's Eve. However, according to the officials of Kasugayama City, there were no survivors of the Linquan Temple fire. How did you, the White-robed Shura, survive?"

"There's no need to talk about what happened three years ago."

Axue did not answer the two of them directly.

"Now I am no longer Ah Xue from Linquan Temple. I am just an unknown wanderer."

"Tsk, you were clearly holding that monk's hand just now, showing your deep affection."

Miyamoto Musashi didn't believe a word he said. It was obvious that Axue valued Linquan Temple very much.

No wonder he said he never wanted to set foot in Echigo again in his lifetime. It seemed to be related to the fire at Linquan Temple.

"What do you say? How about going to the Wanfo Temple tomorrow to take a look? There's no rush to go to Luoyang anyway."

"That's what I meant."

After unanimous consultation among the three, Axue and others finally decided to go to Wanfo Temple tomorrow to find out the secret of becoming a Buddha in the flesh.

However, the most important thing now is to get the mortgaged weapons back first.

Just as the three of them walked a distance towards the ticket seller, they found that the guy had been knocked unconscious on the ground by a ninja.

Moreover, the ninja was rummaging through the collateral on the table behind their backs, trying to steal in broad daylight!

"Stop! Where did this little thief come from?"

Seeing that thieves were so brazen these days, Miyamoto Musashi was about to run up and grab the ninja.

But because she was so full, she fell to the ground after running only a few steps.

"Hey! Don't you dare touch my arquebus!!"

When Oda Nobunaga saw the ninja's hand reaching out to the matchlock, he suddenly became anxious and wanted to kill her and die together with her.

"do not move."

Axue stretched out her hand to stop Oda Nobunaga. At this moment, the face of this Shura in white was extremely solemn.

"what happened?"

Oda Nobunaga was stunned. She had never seen Axue with such a serious expression.

“…He’s an expert.”

Axue couldn't help but swallow nervously.

In his observation Haki, the ninja in front of him was actually burning with an extremely terrifying dark soul!

Even the three ninjas from Linquan Temple combined were not as threatening as the ninja in front of him now!

This is undoubtedly the most powerful enemy he has ever encountered in his life, except for his senior brother Torachiyo!

"...Are you the White-robed Shura?"

"It's me. Why are you holding my weapon?"

The female ninja with a red scarf finally found Suzumaru Tsuneji. Facing Axue's questioning, the female ninja finally remembered that she should also say hello -

So she turned around, pinched the ninjutsu with her right hand and answered seriously.

"Tama, Shiroi Shura-san, I'm Kato Danzo Desu."

Chapter 57: Namo San, How Merciless is This

Greetings are a sacred and inviolable etiquette.

The Kojiki records this, stating that anyone who is greeted and saluted must return the greeting in kind.

As a mechanical ninja, Kato Danzo possesses all the professional qualities that a ninja should have.

However, this politeness inexplicably added a touch of inappropriate awkwardness in the eyes of Axue and Oda Nobunaga, who were not ninjas.

"It's troublesome, blind man, there's something wrong with this guy..."

Miyamoto Musashi said solemnly after getting up from the ground.

Miyamoto Musashi is not someone who would be deceived by a gorgeous appearance.

Although Kato Danzo's behavior is very weird, in Miyamoto Musashi's eyes, this guy is actually an extremely dangerous female ninja!

Axue thinks the same.

Kato Danzo was unlike any enemy he had ever faced.

The sound of gears turning inside the body.

The sound of an engine starting.

No heartbeat, no breathing...

There was only the cold sound of machinery.

"This guy...isn't human...?"

Axue couldn't help but feel confused.

But why does Kato Danzo, who is not a human, have a dark soul?

"Mr. Kato Danzo, could you please return my sword, Suzumaru Tsuneji, to me?"

It is better to have less trouble than more, so Axue decided to communicate with Kato Danzo through verbal intervention first.

"--no."

Unexpectedly, the previously very polite female ninja just shook her head and said in a tone that did not allow for refusal.

"I have come by order of my lord, Lord Kagetora, to retrieve the evil-destroying Buddhist sword, Sujumaru Tsuneji, a relic lost in the fire at Rinsen-ji Temple."

"You said your lord is..."

When Axue heard the name, she couldn't help but become a little excited.

"Lord Kagetora? Is he Nagao Kagetora from Echigo Province?!"

"Exactly."

Faced with Kato Danzo's impartial answer, Axue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "...Lord Kagetora, is he in Owari Province now?"

"No, ever since the lord unified Echigo, he has been sending troops to support neighboring kingdoms. Lord Kagetora must be currently encamped on the battlefields of northern Shinano."

Shinano was a large country with a territory that could not be underestimated, and it bordered Mino Province.

The distance from Owari Province is neither far nor close.

In other words, if Axue and the other two passed through Mino Province on their way to Kyoto, the chance of meeting Nagao Kagetora would be greatly increased.

It doesn't look like the senior brother knows that he is still alive.

Otherwise, it might not be Kato Danzo who appeared in front of him today.

But it was the military god Nagao Kagetora who was now famous in the Warring States Period.

Axue's mood at the moment is quite complicated.

I felt relieved but also a little sad.

I felt relieved because my whereabouts had not been exposed.

The gloom was also because his current whereabouts had not been exposed.

Ever since his senior brother no longer held him back, he unexpectedly became a world-renowned savior admired by everyone in Echigo.

But she was also very worried about her senior brother's health in recent days. After all, according to rumors along the way, her senior brother Torachiyo's temperament has changed a lot. Axue was very worried about whether her senior brother was eating well.

But what weighed most heavily on Axue's heart at this moment was——

It's undoubtedly homesickness.

I not only miss the sunshine on my senior brother, but also miss every bit of Linquan Temple and the beautiful scenery of the spring mountain city.

I have been wandering outside for three years, and now I heard the name of my senior brother Torachiyo from Kato Danzo's mouth. The feeling is very complicated.

"... Please return Suzumaru Tsuneji to me, sir."

Axue suppressed the sudden homesickness and spread out her hands to emphasize it again to Kato Danzo.

He couldn't just let Kato Danzo take away Sujumaru Tsuneji.

If my senior brother saw this Buddhist sword that was lost in the fire, he would surely mourn for me even more.

The greater possibility is...

My senior brother learned about my situation from Kato Danzo. Based on my senior brother's personality, I believe that he would abandon the entire Echigo Province and come to find me at all costs.

So it was absolutely impossible for him to let Kato Danzo take away Sujumaru Tsuneji.

"—What if I say no, Danzo?"

Kato Danzo's narrow and long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he noticed Oda Nobunaga next to Axue again.

"Come to think of it, Bai Yi Shura, the woman next to you is also my target."

Oda Nobunaga was stunned.

I didn't expect that just because I ran away from home once, the people from the Oda family would come to my door so quickly, and they even sent such a powerful master!

This was definitely the idea of ​​his clever younger brother, Oda Nobukatsu!

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

Axue did not retreat at all, instead took a step closer to Kato Danzo.

"Monks don't lie. White-robed Shura, you clearly don't have any weapons. How could you possibly be a match for me, Duan Zang?"

Seeing that Axue wanted to fight him with bare hands, Kato Danzo was already prepared for the battle.

"Come and try it and you'll know."

Axue still looked calm.

"Then I will use your beloved sword to send you to the west."

The female ninja picked up the sujumaru Tsuneji with both hands, exerted force with her right hand, and was about to draw her sword to chop off Axue's head!

But something shocking happened.

No matter how hard Kato Danzo tried with his right hand, the evil-destroying Buddhist sword Sujumaru Tsuneji could not be unsheathed!

It seemed as if some karmic obstacle had sealed this samurai sword.

"How, how is it possible?!"

This female ninja Kato Danzo——

I was actually rejected by Suzumaru Tsuneji!

"The evil-destroying Buddha sword, Sujumaru Tsuneji, is one of the Five Swords of the World, a sacred relic of the Buddhist monk Nichiren Shonin."

Miyamoto Musashi, the fat female warrior with edema on the side, finally began to explain.

"Only those who believe in Buddha and have a pure and kind heart can draw this sword!"

"But since Kato Danzo is a mechanical puppet without any faith, there's absolutely no way she can pull out Suzumaru Tsuneji!"

Faced with a katana that even the gear-driven ball joint couldn't pull out, Kato Danzo was finally horrified.

"Namo San! How merciless is this!!!"

"It's no use cramming now."

Axue just lowered her hat and raised her hand slightly, and the sujumaru Tsuneji in Kato Danzo's hand began to vibrate violently!

"Here comes the sword!!"

The Suzumaru Tsuneji, which Kato Danzo couldn't pull out no matter what, suddenly rushed out of the scabbard at Axue's command!
