When Tsurumaru Evolved

In the castle tower of Yuejin Honmaru, the little girl and Yueye were sitting opposite each other, and the tea brought by Hasebe was wafting with a curly aroma, which echoed repeatedly in the not-so-small living room.

Along with the aroma is an unspeakable atmosphere.

"Are you sure you want him?" Yueye held the teacup and exhaled softly, "If you keep him, you won't have your crane ball. ——Whether it's fished or forged, pure white Your own 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga' will never come again."

"I know." Yue Jin smiled, "Honmaru who has received the Darkfall sword will not have the same second vibration sword that can be summoned, I remember. But——"

The little girl turned her head to look, and the black-haired Baiyi Fusangshen, Mikazuki Sokami and Yingmaru, who had started retirement mode early, were sitting under the corridor. It's a brightly colored refreshment that looks delicious. They watched the short knives chasing and fighting in the courtyard. Although Mikazuki was drinking tea and chatting with Yingmaru, she didn't forget to fill up the cup for Tsurumaru as well. Before Tsurumaru took the hot tea and drank it in his mouth, he would be reminded by Taiko Zhong Zhenzong who was playing around, "The tea is very hot, Mr. Tsuru, be careful!", so Tsurumaru nodded, and only after blowing the cold tea seriously Drink it in your mouth.On the other side, Okurigara, who was the caretaker, hugged the little tiger who retreated from the Five Tigers, while stroking his fur, he looked up from time to time to see Tsurumaru's condition.

The yard was a very happy and harmonious scene. If it wasn't for Tsurumaru's hair color and the other party's carefree appearance, who would have known that this was a dark knife.

Yue Jin turned around and nodded solemnly to Yue Ye: "I want to keep him. As I said before, even though he was tortured by all kinds, Mr. He still kept his heart, and the dark fall did not break his heart at all." Guanghui, whether it is the pure spiritual power that he came into contact with when we first met, or the noble character that he saw after getting along with him during this period of time, I believe him-he will not hate the sacrifices of this world because of the suffering he has suffered, or because of the dark fall. Lost God."

"Okay, I see." Yue Ye typed a line on the terminal, "This is the key to the suppressor, and I will ask Foxnosuke to send it back to me together with the suppressor."

At dinner, the God Judge announced in front of all the blades that Tsurumaru would stay and truly become a part of this Honmaru.

Tsurumaru emphasized blankly: "I am not 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga'."

"I know~" Yue Jin handed the key to Candlestick with a smile, and asked him to open the suppressor that was not pleasing to the eye. The most special existence that no one else has!"

"... Whatever you want." Tsurumaru spoke in Okuri style, and then silently bowed his head to eat.

"That! We have a holiday tomorrow! Get ready and prepare a perfect welcome party for Mr. Crane!" Yue Jin raised her hand, "Hands up if you agree!—"

"I agree—!" All the blades raised their hands, Tsurumaru looked around, and the super excited Taiko Bell grabbed one hand and raised it high.

Tsurumaru looked at the other blades talking to each other excitedly after putting down their hands. He heard Yuba say that he would prepare a gift as a congratulatory gift for his true joining. Big Kurigara all put on a faint smile.Tsurumaru picked up the bowl of miso soup and blocked the corners of his lips that were raised unconsciously, his voice was lost in the noise of the dining room:

"Agree."

In the middle of the night, Tsurumaru quietly left the room of the Date group—because he no longer needed "special" attention, and what Tsurumaru himself showed was enough for Ren to feel reliable, so the other blades of the Date group He wouldn't suddenly wake up in the middle of the night to see if Tsurumaru was staying there properly.

Tsurumaru came out to hang a bell with a sword pattern.

In the courtyard where the time-space converter is placed, the huge Kagura bell is covered with bells engraved with various sword patterns. If there is anything that needs to be notified, the person in charge will shake the Kagura bell, and all the blades will be given induction.

Tsurumaru's knife-patterned bell was handed over to him by the candle holder. It was a bell that was prepared a long time ago. After Tsurumaru got it, he absorbed his own data (spiritual power) and emerged "Tsurumaru Kuninaga". "The knife pattern.

"Mr. Crane, if you feel that you can entrust your trust to the master, hang this bell on the Kagura bell." The black-haired Fusangshen said to him with a warm smile, "The bell of our Date group There is a place for Mr. Crane in the middle."

Date, group...

Tsurumaru stood under the Kagura bell and looked up.

With the moonlight as the background, it was so dim that it seemed hard to see which bell was engraved with which knife pattern, and there were layers of bell rings on it, and one bell still exuded a faint glow—it was Sanri Yue Zongjin.

"Come to hang the bell, Tsurumaru." A strange and dignified voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Tsurumaru turned his head to the side, and Mikazuki Munekin stood there with a smile in his introvert uniform that challenged people's aesthetics.

"Mikazuki, Zongjin." Tsurumaru nodded to him, "Still, hesitating."

"Why don't you come to Sanjo's room, we are in a separate room, so we won't disturb other blades." Mikayue sent out an invitation.

"……excuse me."

"Hmm... ah, I found it." Sankaiyue lit the lamp, rummaged through the cabinet to find the snacks left before, and brought them out, watching Tsurumaru sit down with some restraint, and put the snacks by the other party's hand, "Then , what is Tsurumaru hesitating about?"

"Is it because of identity?"

"...Yes." Tsurumaru lowered his eyelids, "I am a desk pet program. ——The relationship with the 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga' you know is just that I used his settings as a program template. That's why I look exactly like 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga'."

"However, all the bonds of 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga' itself, such as the records of the Date group, such as the intersection of your Sanjo family and him-I can check these records, but they are just records."

"At a deeper level, there is no actual record of the relationship and past between you, so I don't know."

"Is that so?" San Riyue narrowed her eyes slightly, "Speaking of which, you keep saying that you are a 'desk pet', what kind of existence is that?"

"Ah... it's just a desktop pet. It's a kind of electronic pet on a computer or PAD. It's a small recreational game. In short, it's just a simple program." Tsurumaru explained, "It's just , I am different from other table pets..."

"What's the difference?" Sanriyue asked.

"The difference between me and other table pets is probably that... my master added the function of 'learning' to me, so..."

"Then, since it is a 'program', there is always a purpose to create you, what is Tsurumaru's purpose?"

Stared at by those two crescent moons, Tsurumaru was a little dazed for a moment - what was the reason for a table pet to be made.

To accompany the master.

Well, what if the owner is gone.

"...study." He replied.

"Since we all need to learn, let's learn how to become 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga'." The handsome Fu Sangshen suggested, "'Life still needs some shocks. If there are all predictable things, the heart You will die first.' These are the words Tsurumaru always said,——you are no longer a 'desk pet' Tsurumaru, so what about your heart?"

"Heart...?" The black-haired Fu Sangshen repeated in doubt, pressing his pale palm on his chest.

Saying goodbye to Mikami Tsukimune, Tsurumaru felt that he had finally found his next goal - learning to become Tsurumaru Kuninaga, right?

It's a good offer.

In such a process, it seems that it is indeed a good choice to try to break away from the status of "table pet" and become "fusangshen".

Tsurumaru stood under the Kagura bell again. He raised his head and identified the location of the candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, the Taiko Bell Sadamune and the sword-patterned bells of Okurigara. There was an empty hanging ring in the middle of the three bells. This time, without any further hesitation, he stood on tiptoe and hung up his own bell.

The metal bell exudes a unique glow, and then gradually fades away.

"...It's a headache." Kasen Kane Dingbi frowned slightly as he checked the inventory of his own Honmaru from the menu in his hand. Candlestick cut came in and asked in confusion: "What happened, Kasen-kun?"

"Ah, it's Mr. Candlestick Kiri. It's about the ingredients—for the welcome party, it's not enough to prepare the current ingredients in our Honmaru according to the menu." Gexian clicked on the notebook in his hand.

"That's it...then, I will list the missing ingredients and I will buy them..." Candlestick cut said this, but was interrupted by California Qingguang standing at the door: "You still have to prepare the dishes for the welcome party? Give me the list Alright, I'll ask a few blades to buy it together."

"That's good." Candlestick cut and Gexian looked at each other, and wrote down the missing things very efficiently. Songxian also filled in other things that will be used in the welcome party. The address of the store was written down: "For this store, just report our Honmaru number, there is a [-]% discount, and it can be delivered directly to your door. ——Thank you, Mr. California."

"Leave it to me~" California Qingguang left the kitchen with the list, and stood in the courtyard and shouted, "The ingredients for the welcome party tonight are not enough! If you have nothing to do, come with me to Wanwu to buy something~"

"Okay!" "Wow, Wanwu? I want to go too!" "California-san! Can we go too?"

"Okay, anyway, there's nothing to do in Honmaru, let's go together~" California Qingguang smiled.

As for the fact that Tsurumaru would stand together on the teleportation array of Wanwu, it was unexpected by Kiyomitsu of California.

"Mr. Tsurumaru?" California Qingguang held the purchase order carefully.

There is no way, if this is a normal Tsurumaru Kuninaga, at most he needs to be careful whether he will be pranked, but it is said that Tsurumaru Kuninaga went to Wanding most of the time to buy a prank toy or other novelty gadgets, but—— —Who said their Honmaru is a normal Tsurumaru Kuninaga? !

"As you said, it's okay to go shopping with you, and I'm fine." After explaining why he appeared, Tsurumaru took the purchase order from California Kiyomitsu blankly, and quickly confirmed it after scanning it. Action plan, "California Kiyomitsu, you take Yamato Mori Anda and Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki to A32 to buy seasonings, according to the news that his house is discounted today; Yaken Toshiro, you take your younger brothers together Buy decorations on C Street, you can buy everything listed on the list. By the way, you should be careful not to buy 'horse dung'; Taiko Bell, Okuri and I go to buy ingredients. ——Above, do you have any questions? .”

"No..." The blades that were tapped shook their heads quickly, so Tsurumaru divided the list, and the three teams separated like this.

"Anyway, Mr. Tsurumaru's 'information processing' is really fast." Kami Kiyomitsu sighed, "Okay, let's go!"

Natsuo Toshiro puffed his head to look at the list in Yaoken's hand: "Really, how does he know which toy I want to buy..."

"You really want to buy it?" Yao Yan's eyes twitched.

"How fun! Brothers can also have new toys when they come!" Cattail was confident, and then he fell down listlessly, "Master's luck in forging knives is really problematic, brother is it hard to get knives— — I'm going to depolarize!"

"Maeda didn't come either, it is said that I am the one who brought the rare dagger." Hirano Fujishiro complained casually.

"Let's go shopping first." Yao Yan pushed his glasses, and changed the subject, "Shouldn't the retreating little tiger buy some bite balls?"

"Eh? It seems to be—"

On the other side, Tsurumaru didn't care about the gazes on him at all—the Tokino Government had already released relevant information about "the rescued and purified Dark Fallen Fusangshen Tsurumaru Kuninaga", and according to his identity, he had already cleared the way , so he doesn't need to care about this kind of curious gaze at all.

Follow the instructions on the list to choose the ingredients you need one by one. By the way, you just need to go to the front desk to report the Honmaru number and you can come out. There is nothing to worry about. Tsurumaru, with a blank face, let his eyes stay at the pet toy store next door for a long time. Rigara was free to buy what he wanted, Taiko Zhong Zhenzong weighed it and felt that Okurigara was more worried about Baba, so he told Tsurumaru not to run around and followed.

This is also the reason why Tsurumaru is standing alone at the front desk of Kasen Kanesada without the candlestick Kiri Mitsutada -- although there is nothing abrupt or inappropriate in terms of hair color.

"Oh, it's Tsurumaru Kuninaga." The shopkeeper looked at the Tsurumaru Kuninaga in front of him, "Dark state? Ah, I know which Honmaru you belong to. Then your Honmaru's Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada or Kasen What about Kanesada? They should be here to buy vegetables, right?"

"Why should they come to buy vegetables?" Tsurumaru tilted his head to express his doubts.

"Because they are the knives for doing these things." The shopkeeper replied as a matter of course.

"Cooking is their interest, not what they should do." Tsurumaru looked at the list in his hand, and decided to go to the next door to buy from a few shops that are relatively small in size but also offer discounts and good quality ingredients. Although you need to go to a few more shops, it is more comfortable than the owner of this shop. "Candlestick Kiri's hospitality is inherited from the former master Date Masamune. He is an extremely sharp knife and an extremely gentle person. Although I always say that the broken bronze candlestick is not handsome enough, but it is the most handsome one whether it is fighting or taking care of other people in daily life; although Kasen Kanesada claims to be a sword of the literary department, the meaning of the name is not the so-called '36 Utasen' but It shows that the original owner used his sharp record of beheading 36 people in a row. I hope you can remember it. ——In short, they are fighting knives, not kitchen knives."

"Ah...? Ah..." The shopkeeper was stunned by Tsurumaru's expressionless face, and subconsciously reached out to take the order.

"I don't plan to buy from you, and I can find what I want if I go to other stores." Tsurumaru took back the purchase order and folded it, "Does your Honmaru Candlestick Kiri and Kasen know your evaluation? , probably don’t know,—but it has nothing to do with me, goodbye.”

"Ah, Mr. Tsuru, I saw that there was a discount in the store next door." A candlestick, Mitsutada, approached and led Tsurumaru out with a smile. "As for the vegetables, B26 should be fresher."

"Yes, yes, B27 has new mushrooms today. It is said that Dianzan planted them himself. The taste is great." Another candlestick, Mitsutada, also approached, and naturally caught up with the conversation.

"For meat, the store in B34 is more recommended. If you buy a lot, there will be new products that you can try out as gifts." The Utasen Kanesada who doesn't know who it is also came over and made a recommendation with an elegant smile.

"...? Okay, I see." Tsurumaru was led out in a daze, leaving the shopkeeper there looking at Tsurumaru with a gratified expression, but when he turned his head, he became ferocious. The Daojian Fusangshen were trembling with fear.

"No matter which Honmaru Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada or Utasen Kanesada, they are all good blades." Tsurumaru said this when he returned to his home Honmaru and sat in the corridor to drink tea with Yingmaru, "Very enthusiastic, kind, and very kind Take care of people."

"Because it's because of Tsurumaru." Umaru, who has already heard Taiko Zhong Zhenzong's broadcast, naturally knows why other people's Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Utasen Kanesada are so nice to their own Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but seeing the other party has nothing. Thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to remind him - it would be more interesting to find out by himself, wouldn't it.

"It's because of the Date-gumi, Kasen Kanesada..." Tsurumaru was confused.

"Mr. Crane—!" Candlestick cut's voice came from afar, "Dinner is ready! Let's have some ramen noodles at noon, and it will be richer at the welcome party in the evening—!"

"I'm here." Tsurumaru stood up, "I'm going to eat ramen, Umaru."

"Okay, okay... Ah, if you have chazuke rice, do you have chazuke ramen?" Umaru sighed.

"You can ask, Candlestick will be willing to try, probably." Tsurumaru didn't quite understand Yingmaru's obsession with "tea".

"Well... I'm really looking forward to it."

Whether it's tea-flavored ramen, or——
