I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Scruucci grumbled.

"I almost forgot Aiyaka and his two friends..."

Scruucci looked around.

"Hey... where are they?"

Skulucci looked around, only to see the villagers of China Village, but not Aiyaka and the two Kazuren friends Aiyaka brought.

But at this moment, he saw not far away from him, there were 4 girls wearing different colored headbands, and a very old lady.

All five of them stared at them with strange eyes.

……

……

Rewind time to a few minutes ago——

After discovering Skulucci and his party, Ashley and others stood aside from a distance, looking at Skulucci and his group.

"Grandma, how's it going?" The red-headed girl asked Ashley's grandma impatiently, "Can you see the possessed gods of those people?"

Grandma nodded: "I can see it."

The purple headband has an expectant face: "Then their possessed gods all have anticipation."

Grandma raised her chin at Scruucci and the others.

"The possession gods of these three people are all very powerful."

Grandma said slowly.

"The young man who had been talking to the red-haired man just now is the weakest possessed spirit among the three of them."

She was referring to Afjah.

"The young man who didn't speak just now is a little bit stronger."

She was referring to Lev.

"As for the red-haired one...his possession spirit is so powerful."

What grandma was referring to was naturally Skulucci.

Looking at Sculucci in the distance, grandma's face showed a hint of surprise and praise.

"I have lived for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen such a powerful possessed god... The possessed god of the red-haired stranger is stronger than all the possessed gods I have seen before. sharp."

"That red-haired stranger must be a very remarkable man."

Grandma's words made the four of them involuntarily widen their eyes and part their red lips in surprise.

"Is that red-haired guy so powerful..." The red headband stared at Skulucci who hadn't noticed them in the distance, "Is his possessed god stronger than all the men in our village?"

Grandma nodded without hesitation, and added mercilessly:

"And it's still far beyond the kind of 'powerful' that many other people have."

"Then grandma, can you see their personalities from their possessed gods?" the girl with the red headband asked.

"I can vaguely see a little bit." Grandma nodded, and then turned her gaze to Skulucci and the others again.

Because Skulucci and the others kept walking towards the outside of the village, Ashley and the others had to follow closely behind Skulucci and the others, constantly moving along with them.

After taking another deep look at Skulucci and the others, grandma said unhurriedly:

"The young man who has been talking to the redhead should be a very loyal person, and he has a more cheerful personality."

"The one who doesn't talk all the time. His personality is not very good. People with this type of possessed gods are people who don't like to communicate and contact with others, and have a very withdrawn temperament."

"As for the redhead... he's got a nice personality."

The color of praise appeared on grandma's face again.

"Compassionate, kind, and generous... That red-haired stranger is really amazing."

"Not only is he powerful, but his personality is also very good."

"It's the first time I've seen grandma praise someone so much..." Ashley murmured.

At this moment, the red headband exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh, did they find us?"

At this time, Skulucci found Ashley and the others who had been staring at them.

After looking at Ashley and the others with puzzled eyes, Skulucci smiled and shook his hand at them.

"Let's go." The girl with the purple headband said, "We have already seen the possessed gods of these white-skinned foreigners, let's go and see the possessed gods of Kazuto."

"Well, I agree!" The girl with the blue headband nodded in agreement.

So, Ashley and the others took grandma and quickly left from Skulucci and the others.

"Where is Kazuto right now?" the girl with the red headband asked.

"Who knows." Purple Headband replied, "Let's look around first. Anyway, our village is so big, we can always find it."

……

……

After watching the girls with different colored headbands and the old woman leave, Afja muttered in a low voice:

"Who are those people?"

"Maybe it's because I haven't seen anyone with white skin, so I came to see us." Scruzzi shrugged, "Don't worry about them."

After saying that, Scruucci turned his gaze away from Ashley and the others who had already left.

"Okay... Where should I find Aiyaka and his two Kazuto friends..."

……

……

China Village, somewhere—

Ogata, Atachi, and Aiyaka filed out from a certain family's house.

"I got nothing again..." A-Machi, who muttered in a low voice that only he could hear clearly, flattened his lips.

They have already questioned about a quarter of the villagers in Qina Village.

So far, the harvest is - nothing.

No matter who you ask, they all say "haven't seen it" or "have no impression".

Although there has been no harvest, Ogata is not in a hurry or annoyed.

He only said to Aiyaka in a calm tone:

"Let's go to the next one."

"Yeah." Aiyaka nodded.

So far, Ogata has deeply felt how lacking young and strong men are in Kina Village.

Whether walking on the roads of the village or entering other people's homes, the young and strong men I saw were pitifully few.

"It's getting dark now." Ogata raised his head and looked at the sky that had begun to darken slightly, "Let's ask another family."

"After we have finished asking the last family, we will stop here today, and we will ask the rest of the people who have not been asked until tomorrow."

"Coincidentally, we thought of going together." Aiyaka smiled, "Let's spend the night at the house of a friend who is close to me tonight."

"After a night's rest, I will continue to ask other people in the village tomorrow."

"Let's speed up a little while the sky is still bright."

"The next family is..."

Aiyaka turned her head to look at the room next to her.

Looking at the house next to her, Aiyaka raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, the next family is a little bit different."

"Is there anything special about the next family?" Ogata asked back.

"Well. The next family is indeed a bit special."

Aiyaka nods

"The old woman in the next house is a torrenpei who can see the back of other people's necks."

"Tuo Lun Pei?" Confused, "What is this?"

Standing beside Ogata, Ah-machi also cast a puzzled look at Aiyaka.

"Tuo Lun Pei...in your Japanese language, it should be translated as 'Possessed God'."

"We Ainu believe that all people will be possessed by gods and be protected by gods since birth. We Ainu call these gods attached to our human bodies 'Tuo Lun Pei'."

"Every person's possessed god is different. Therefore, each person's personality and ability are different."

"The more powerful a person is, the more powerful the spirit possessing him will be."

"Possessed gods are generally attached to the back of the neck."

"Some people are born with the ability to see what the spirit behind other people's necks looks like."

"The old woman in the next family has such ability."

Aiyaka touched his neck.

"That old woman has seen my possessed god."

"The old woman said that my possessing spirit is very strong, and he has rarely seen such a powerful possessing spirit."

Aiyaka grinned.

"Mashima, A-cho, if you are interested, you can let that old lady show you what your possessed god looks like."

After finishing speaking, Aiyaka led Ogata and A-Machi towards the nearby house in big strides.

Ogata is not interested in the "possessed god" that Aiyaka just mentioned.

Ogata has no interest in these things that have anything to do with gods and ghosts.

On the contrary, A-Ming was very interested in the possessed god mentioned by Aiyaka, and looked eager to try, wanting the old woman to see her possessed god.

When he came to the door of the low house next to him, after Aiyaka yelled at the door, a beautiful woman about 30 years old walked out of the house quickly.

After chatting with the woman in Ainu for a few words, Aiyaka raised her eyebrows, turned to Ogata and said:

"It's a pity, the old lady who can see the possessed god is just not here now. She was taken out by her granddaughter to play, and I don't know when she will come back."

Ogata didn't care much about whether the old woman could see his possessed god.

But he was very concerned about whether the old woman was at home.

Because that old woman might just have met Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.

If I miss the chance to meet that old woman, I might miss a precious clue.

What did that beautiful woman say to Aiyaka and the others at this time.

"She told us to go into the house first." Aiyaka translated the woman's words, "Let's go into the house first. The old woman should be back soon."

Ogata and Machi nodded.

……

……

"What? Did the couple go to Ashley's house?" The girl with the red headband looked at a middle-aged woman in front of her in surprise.

The middle-aged woman standing in front of the girl with the red headband nodded:

"Well, I just saw that Kazuto and Aiyaka went to Ashley's house."

"We've been looking for them for so long, but we didn't expect them to go to Ahili's house..." the purple headband muttered helplessly.

They had been looking for the pair of Kazuto who arrived in the village almost at the same time as the white-skinned strangers.

But after looking around, they couldn't be found.

It wasn't until I asked someone now that I found out—they went to Ahili's house.
