Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 52 Returning to the dilapidated temple again
Sunday, sunny.

Arakawa looked into the living room, where Qiuye was making breakfast.

"Good morning, brother." Qiu Xue was reading a book.

"Well, good morning." Nozomi Arakawa replied.

"Good morning Arakawa-kun." Qiuyue greeted him at this moment, her eyes full of kindness.

After the omelet meal time last night, Akizuki has already regarded Nozomi Arakawa as the only diner who can appreciate her "food". In fact, she didn't sleep well last night because she was reading recipes all night...

"Good morning, Qiuyue." Thinking of the omelet rice last night, Arakawa Wang felt lingering fear.

"By the way, brother, let's talk about your grades." Qiuyue showed Arakawa the screen of her mobile phone, "The results of the mock exam are out, and my brother's grades are not very satisfactory."

Arakawa took a look. His ranking in Sakurai Academy was over 300, and he was already at the bottom of the academy, let alone his ranking in the entire Tokyo.

But Nozomi Arakawa was already prepared in his heart, so he wasn't too surprised. As a human being, the most important thing is to have some AC. The most important thing is to recognize yourself.

"Then according to the agreement, I have already taken care of my brother's school transfer procedures. From tomorrow on, my brother will be studying at the 'Iris Girls' School' - the opposite 'Aoyama Middle School'."

Nozomi Arakawa seemed to have experienced the ups and downs of his life.

"Why, did you disappoint my brother?" Qiu Xue smiled narrowly.

"Don't scare me, I thought I would really go to a girls' school!"

"Arakawa-kun looks very disappointed." Qiu Ye came over with breakfast at this time.

Today's breakfast was a bacon sandwich, and Fall Night Cooking is as good as ever.

After breakfast, Qiu Xue asked the maids and sisters to clean up, and now there were only the two of them in the living room.

"Then let's talk about the mission now." Qiu Xue said.

Arakawa sat upright.

"Have you ever heard of ghosts?"

"Ghost...is that the one, the soul after death."

"That's right, the Iris Girls' School I attended and the Aoyama Middle School opposite the school are about to hold the Cherry Blossom Academy Festival jointly. I have been to Aoyama Middle School several times as a student representative, and that's when I discovered some abnormalities. "Qiu Xue poured tea for Arakawa Wang while talking.

"Are there ghosts in the school?" Nozomi Arakawa frowned.

"No, there are no ghosts in the school." Qiu Xue pushed a photo in front of Nomo Arakawa, "This is the object I want my brother to investigate."

Nozomi Arakawa picked up the photo, which showed a boy in the uniform of Aoyama Middle School, smiling happily at the opening ceremony.

"His name is Kasai Shinichi, a first-year student. It will be full soon. He was one of the greeters when I visited Aoyama Middle School. I didn't realize there was anything wrong with him until he fell down..."

"fall?"

"That's right, he fell on the ground and fell to the ground without warning. At first, others thought that he was unwell or weak, but I quietly checked his physical condition with magic power, and only then did I know that his vitality had been lost. ...No, or is it more appropriate to be sucked away? In short, what can be judged is that Kasai Shinichi's vitality is disappearing. According to my preliminary judgment, there should be a ghost lurking beside him, because the magic power is stored in the human body , if the spirit body wants to survive after the death of the physical body, it must absorb magic power from the outside."

"That means this Kasai Shinichi is being targeted by a ghost?"

"Exactly, so I want to ask my brother to solve this matter, otherwise, if it continues, Kasai Shinichi will die due to the loss of too much vitality."

"I understand, since it is a ghost that harms people, it cannot be left alone."

"Then I look forward to my brother's performance."

……

Throughout the afternoon of the weekend, Arakawa was exercising in his room. Swinging a sword was always the basics. In addition, he was still practicing the one-word slash and Ashina's cross slash. The former could give him a chance to breathe when facing the enemy. The latter is closer to a close-range explosive method. Sword Master Ashina Isshin once used this technique to cut off Shura's arm!

Other than that was rest, Nozomi Arakawa took a bath after the sweaty exercise, and sat on the small chair in the room to rest.

He suddenly felt a little subtle, and when he opened his eyes, the surroundings were pitch black, and he was no longer in the original bedroom.

Arakawa looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing, no enemies, only boundless darkness, suddenly a beam of light shone obliquely in front of him, and at the end of the light was a stone platform with a bell placed on the stone platform.

"Is that... the guardian bell?"

He walked in front of the bell, and immediately realized that he might have come to a different space, and the key to being able to get out was the old bell.

Nozomi Arakawa shook the bell gently, and the crisp bell sounded, and the surrounding scene changed completely. Snowflakes fell all over the sky, endlessly, and a few blue flames floated from the ghost Buddha in the courtyard. There is a gray mist outside, and behind it is a dilapidated temple courtyard.

"A dilapidated temple? Am I back here again?" Arakawa Wang was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the guardian bell was the key to the dilapidated temple... Nozomi Arakawa looked at the bell in his hand with a complicated expression.

The sound of carving knives came from inside the temple, and Wang Arakawa knew that it was "wolves" carving Buddha.

He walked slowly to the interior of the temple, and saw the figure of the wolf.

"You're here again."

Wolf turned his back to Nomo Arakawa, and seemed to have sensed Nomo Arakawa's arrival long ago, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

"excuse me."

Arakawa Wang sat cross-legged in the temple, he looked around, almost all carved Buddha statues, but the Buddha's face was ferocious and extremely angry.

The wolf who killed the prince must feel bad, right?Although the immortal was cut off according to the prince's wishes, as a ninja, the wolf lost his master, so he turned into a Buddha carver. How can a person full of hatred and anger carve a Buddha with a kind face?
"You are in good condition. It seems that what I gave you has worked." The wolf said, "How about it? Have you protected the people you cherish?"

"Yes, I protected my friends, and I also want to protect my relatives, and I want to become stronger." Nozomi Arakawa's voice was firm.

The wolf saw determination in his eyes.

"Yeah, but I'm old."

"But so far, the battle memory is obtained from fighting the opponent. It is too slow for me to swing the knife aimlessly."

"Hmph, it seems that from now on, I have other things to do besides carving the Buddha." The wolf's voice was deep and magnetic, "That will be as you wish."
