"Give this sword to me, Yae no Kami."
"You said you have a task to give me."
Barzeb looked at Kujo Sara, who had a respectful expression.
Speaking from my heart.
She greatly admired this loyal and brave female tengu.
As "God".
She did not want to give the other party an order that would surely cause them immense pain.
Not to mention that the targets of the massacre were the Heavenly Commander who had served and protected her for countless long years.
But he only thought about it briefly.
The unwavering will that persisted despite hundreds of years of fighting with General Thunder in the "Pure Land of One Heart" was certainly not something that could be influenced by "God's love for humanity" or "insignificant emotions."
No matter how much you love "people," it can't compare to your sister's resurrection.
"Yes."
"I want you to take this sword."
"Kill everyone who has the bloodline of the Kujo family and is related to the Kujo family."
Kujo Sara was startled and looked up at Balzebu.
This was already very disrespectful to her, but Kujo Sara really had no mind to pay attention to etiquette at the moment.
She couldn't believe that this was really an order from General Thunder, whom she admired. Even though she tried to justify all of General Thunder's unreasonable orders from various angles, she still couldn't understand the correctness of this order.
After a long silence, Kujo Sara asked with difficulty, "Can I know... why?"
"They are the enemies of 'eternity'."
The bland answer caused Kujo Sara's hands, which were holding "Issue no Yume" (Dream Heart), to tremble slightly in anguish.
Perhaps it was for comfort.
Perhaps it was out of concern that Kujo Sara would refuse the order, in order to complete Lin Jiu'an's mission.
Barzebu added, "After that, you will truly inherit the name of the Kujo family."
"To become the head of the 'Heavenly Commander'."
“Continue the duties of ‘obeying the mandate of Heaven.’”
Kujo Sara bit her lower lip; she could already taste the sweetness of fresh blood.
If she could, she would rather not have this 'reward'; she would never want to kill the Kujo family members who watched her grow up or grew up with her.
But this is the general's order...
And now.
The Kujo family is the "eternal" enemy, the enemy of the Shogun.
After a long time.
Kujo Sara stood up, grasped "Dream Heart" and bowed slightly towards Balzebu.
"Yes, I understand."
"I will carry out your will and slaughter all those who possess the 'Nine Bloodlines' and all those associated with them."
After saying that, Kujo Sara turned and walked out of the castle tower without any further hesitation.
—Since I have already decided to dedicate myself to the Shogun, far above my loyalty to the Kujo family, there is nothing to hesitate about now.
"Lord Sara, you've finally come out."
As soon as Kujo Sara stepped out of the castle tower, several soldiers from the Tenryo magistrate's office came to greet her.
"There was a violent tremor just now from the Shinji family's mortuary."
“We wanted to send someone to inspect, but the people from the Shinri family wouldn’t let us in.”
Seeing the anxious expressions on the soldiers' faces, Kujo Sara silently raised "Dream Heart".
'Pfft!'
The sound of a sharp weapon scraping through flesh rang out.
The soldiers who were close to her, their faces still showing anxiety, hadn't even realized what was happening when they collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from their wounds and pooling into a small pool beneath them.
In that instant, Kujo Sara seemed to sense something and lowered her head slightly.
The blood of the dead soldiers, mixed with a rich life force, flowed into the sword in her hand in streaks of blood. The "Dream of One Heart" was like a demon that devoured flesh and blood, greedily gulping down the blood flowing into it.
Thinking of the similar flow of life force she had felt on the remote island, Kujo Sara realized something.
Kujo Sara loosened her grip on the sword slightly, then tightened it again.
However, the resolute look in his eyes had gradually become somewhat lifeless.
Upon hearing the scream, Kujo Sara looked up at the soldiers of the Tenryo magistrate who were watching this scene in fear from afar, and raised his sword.
······
Hisaki walked with his head down in the Kamisato house.
He glanced at the woman in front of him every now and then; she was a pink-haired shrine maiden dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit.
Son of the Eightfold God.
She never expected that Yae no Miko would come to the "Araki Faction" to find her in person. What she didn't expect was that he came to find her not to have fun fighting Araki, but on behalf of someone other than the Raiden General.
At this moment.
Hisaki Shinobu actually hoped that Yae no Miko had come to take her back to be a priestess; that way, although it would be a bit boring, at least she wouldn't have to die.
"arrive."
Yae no Miko stopped in her tracks.
"go in."
Hearing Yae no Miko's voice, which sounded like she was gloating, Hisuki Shinobu's expression turned somewhat desperate.
Don't make that face.
Yae no Miko smiled and said, "How about this, I'll put in a good word for you with my master later, and you'll owe me a favor, okay?"
Even a fool could figure out that he owed Yae no Miko a favor, which Yae no Miko was probably using to make fun of him by asking him to go back and be a shrine maiden for a few days.
But at this moment, she was genuinely afraid.
From the day she told Kanoin Heizo about the Kamisato family and the hidden place of "Final Chapter," she had a bad feeling. After learning about the deaths of Toma and Kanoin Heizo, and even the uprooting of the teahouse she knew about, Kuki Shinobu knew that she might be dragged into some troublesome events that she shouldn't have gotten involved in.
Fortunately. Q skirt 20 Mio
Nothing happened in the days that followed.
Hisaru thought that the other party probably didn't care about her being a nobody, or that they knew she didn't do it on purpose.
But I didn't expect it.
After such a long time, the other party actually sent Yae no Miko to visit, and even the dignified Yae no Miko of Narukami Shrine addressed him as 'Master'.
Combined with the unusual events on Umijima Island during this period, Kuki Shinobu immediately guessed the meaning of the "master" mentioned by Yae no Miko. Furthermore, considering the sudden massacre of the Kujo family by Kujo Sara and the fact that the heads of various families who attended Ayato Kamisato's funeral have not yet left the Kamisato family, Kuki Shinobu also understood the situation.
"Thank you, Yae-no-miya."
They followed Yae no Miko into the room.
Hisagi Shinobu then saw the lady of the Kamisato family kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, serving tea and water to a black-haired, black-eyed boy.
Sure enough it was him.
Watching the man accept the obsequious service from someone who should have been high above him without a care in the world, Kuki Shinobu felt a little dazed. She was somewhat hesitant to connect this Blood Hand Butcher with the man from her past life.
For a moment, Jiuqi's thoughts were somewhat complicated.
"I've met my lord."
Lin Jiu'an gave a faint "hmm," took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"know."
Hisaki Shinobu honestly replied, "It's because I previously told Kanoin Heizo about one of the 'Final Chapter''s' outposts."
Then, Hisaki Shinobu quickly added, "However, I didn't know at the time that this matter had anything to do with you..."
"No need for these useless words."
Lin Jiu'an interrupted, "I won't hide it from you."
"I killed both Kanoin Heizo and Toma."
"Not only that, I also had Ayaka kill Ayato Kamisato."
Hisahitoshi only regretted that he wasn't deaf.
At this moment, she realized that she definitely wouldn't be able to leave this room unscathed today. Knowing so many secrets, even if they weren't the ones she wanted to know, would certainly come at a price.
"Master, please don't hold back your fear."
Just as Shinobu's mind went blank with fear, Yae no Miko interjected with a smile, "Shinobu's actions were unintentional."
Hisaki Shinobu breathed a slight sigh of relief, glanced gratefully at Yae no Miko, and then looked at Lin Jiu'an with a slightly submissive gaze, as if to say, "I'll do whatever you say."
"Alright, then I'll just get straight to the point."
"I want you to do things for me in the future."
Hisaki Shinobu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
although.
Leaving the free and easy "Araki-ha" and working for the person in front of her was something she was reluctant to accept no matter what.
On one hand, there's the reluctance to leave the unrestrained Ara-ryū-ha, and on the other hand, there's the reluctance and unwillingness of the underlings with whom they had a fairly good relationship, and of the boss.
on the other hand.
I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime a lot if I work for him in the future.
There isn't much freedom.
But compared to some more terrible things, this is not unacceptable.
After exchanging a few words with Hisaki Shinobu, Lin Jiu'an told her to leave and go find Kamisato Ayaka to discuss her work.
"Speak up for her?"
Hisaki Shinobu had just left.
Lin Jiu'an then looked at the Eightfold Divine Child with a half-smile.
"Isn't it because people are too scared of Shinobu?"
Yae no Miko immediately put on a fawning smile, not caring that Kaga was right there. She adopted a fox-like posture and crawled over from the doorway, bringing her fox ears close to Lin Jiu'an's face in a fawning manner.
Lin Jiu'an kneaded her fox ears.
"How is Kujo Sara doing?"
Neither Yae no Miko nor Kamisato Kayo answered; they knew Lin Jiu'an wasn't asking them.
half an hour.
Footsteps, neither too light nor too heavy, came from a dark corner of the house.
Balzeb emerged from the darkness, glancing at his friend who looked nothing like a celestial fox, resembling the lowest of slave girls, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"She is hunting down the fleeing members of the Kujo family."
"It will take some more time."
"Master, when will you be able to revive Lord Foxmonger as well?"
Yae no Miko said in a seductive voice, "Lord Fox Palace is even more handsome than me, and his temperament is more like that of a celestial fox. If you, Master, were to revive Lord Fox Palace as well, I would be willing to serve you alongside him."
"Waiting for Kujo Sara to return."
Yae no Miko's beautiful eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and she even took the initiative to rub her face against Lin Jiu'an's leg.
