Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 458 Investigation
Nozomi Arakawa felt that he had made a serious mistake.

He has prepared holy relics and séances, but he does not have enough magic power to supply his followers.

It's hard to do now...

"Quiet, let me confirm. The spirit form you are talking about is the kind that can keep the magic power to a minimum?"

"Yes," Jing Mi said, "In the final analysis, magic power is as important to a heroic spirit as food is to a human being. Just performing physical activities will consume magic power, and the same is true for spiritual body transformation, but the amount is a little smaller. "

Arakawa sighed in relief.

In other words, now is not the time to replenish the magic power.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in peace.

"That's good, good night."

In less than half a minute, he fell asleep.

Jing Mi looked at Arakawa Nozomi's sleeping face, and nodded slightly.

"Good night, Master."

... * ...

In the early morning of the next day, Nozomi Arakawa arrived at a cheap residential house near Fuyuki Harbor without stopping.

There are two reasons for choosing this.

One is because the capsule hotels in the urban area have been exposed before.

Since the priest was able to find it there by following the clues, the others must be able to as well. It is only a matter of time before they are discovered if they continue to stay there.

Secondly, in a few days, the Holy Grail War will officially begin.

According to El-Melloi's intelligence, the first meeting of the Seven Horsemen was near the port.

By using the port first as a stronghold, you can grasp the opportunity, and if necessary, you can also set traps.

The most important thing is that before he finds a solution to the problem of the Holy Grail pollution, he must keep the number of retired Heroic Spirits below five knights.In other words, as long as they can form alliances with Saber, Lancer, Rider and others, then the war can be prolonged.

However, there is not enough evidence to tell the fact that the Holy Grail was polluted, and the credibility is low.

But if they can understand what kind of character Archer is, they should be able to agree to join forces temporarily.

After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and this truth will not change.

Lord El-Melloi said that on the night when the Seven Horsemen met for the first time, if the Master of Archer gave the order to attack with all his might, the Holy Grail War might end in just one night...

That archer is just so scary.

Although it is a narration, the specific situation can also be told one by one.

Nozomi Arakawa once wondered whether this monarch named El-Melloi had personally participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"Master, your breakfast."

At some point, An Mi had quietly come to his side, still holding a fresh breakfast in his hand.

As expected of an Assassin, the ability to conceal her breath is excellent, and even Nozomi Arakawa failed to notice her coming.

Today she is wearing a black sweater, jeans and sneakers underneath.

This is one of the outfits that Nozomi Arakawa prepared for himself.

However, it is quite suitable to wear on Tranquility's body, and the black leather gloves tightly cover the whole body.

It's just that she still didn't take off her mask, and she always wore a hood when she went out.

Nozomi Arakawa took the soy milk fritters and tofu nao she bought from Zhonghua Restaurant.

The smell of food made his index finger twitch.

The fried dough sticks are dipped in soy milk, put in the mouth, close the teeth, and the aroma is overflowing.

Ah~ the taste of my hometown that I haven't seen for a long time.

The owner of a Chinese restaurant must be a Chinese citizen!
"How about some food?" Arakawa Nozomi handed her a deep-fried dough stick as he spoke.

"Me?" Jing Mi took the fried dough sticks, a little hesitant.

"Dip it in soy milk. It's delicious. I just can't finish eating so much tofu brain. I'll share half with you."

After dividing the tofu nao, he couldn't wait to taste it, but frowned.

"What's the matter, Master?" Jing Mi asked looking at Arakawa Wang's strange expression.

"This tofu nao...is salty!"

"What's wrong with the salty one? I bought it wrong?"

"No, no, no, you should buy another flavor of tofu nao, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear."

"Ah, it sounds like there are two flavors, but I bought both."

"is it?"

Arakawa was taken aback for a moment, and sure enough, he found another box of tofu nao in the packaging bag below.

He put it in his mouth, tasted it, and smacked his lips, as if wearing a mask of pain.

"Is it still wrong?" Quietly asked.

"Taste it yourself." Nozomi Arakawa gave her the spoon.

Jing Mi carefully held the other end of the spoon and tasted it.

"Sweet," she said.

"That's right, it's actually sweet. Isn't the tofu nao sour?" Arakawa Wang said in confusion.

Although he is not very picky about food, there is one kind of food that he only recognizes one taste.

——That is tofu brain.

It was the best delicacy a kid who was still wandering around the city could eat.

It can always be found in the trash can behind the breakfast shop, the sour, spicy oil taste permeates the tip of the tongue.

It even has the function of dredging the intestines!

After finishing breakfast, Jing An said to him: "By the way, Master, please replenish my magic power."

Nomo Arakawa sent her out in the morning, of course not just for breakfast.

Since this is chosen as a stronghold, it is very necessary to investigate the vicinity of the stronghold.

The so-called alliance is just an extremely ideal state.

In the worst case, an escape route has to be booked in advance.

"How much magic power do you have left?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

"Probably around [-]%." Jing Mi said, "But just to be on the safe side, I still ask you to replenish my magic power."

Arakawa glanced at the time.

"Let's not mention this, how about we go out for a walk first?"

Jing Mi tilted her head, somewhat incomprehensible.

Although there are no traces of enemies around, it is the best policy to hide for now.

"Where... are you going?"

"Of course to observe the enemy's movements." Arakawa Wang said.

"Do you know the enemy's location?!" Jing Mi was very surprised.

"Only Basaker's Master, don't be too nervous, just go and take a look at other people's strongholds, nothing will happen."

"Is it an advance preparation for the attack?"

"It can be said that we are going to Matou's house among the three royal families. I heard that there is a strong barrier there, so it is fine for me to observe closely. You are responsible for observing the layout of the house and the surrounding situation from a high place. Is that okay? "

"It's mainly your task, and I will complete it." Jing Mi said.

"That's great, let's go then? By the way, if you don't want to take off the mask, at least put on the hood."

"I can become a spirit."

"No, let's not do this for the time being today. I remember that servants can communicate with each other, right?"

"That's true, but for Assassin, the probability of the Heroic Spirits from other job agencies discovering me is low, except for some sensitive people, or people with particularly strong intuition who can detect my existence."

"That's right, Assassin's concealment function is powerful, but if you don't transform into a spirit body, it will reduce unnecessary suspicion." Arakawa Wang said, "Don't forget, today's mission is just investigation."
