Those days in Honmaru

I am Nishiki Hasebe, this strange name is really annoying, it is all because of that man, Oda Nobunaga, in memory of him, he cut the shed where the owner of the tea house was hiding with a single knife.Forget it, let's not talk about that guy, the most important thing is the current master, as long as it is the master's order, I, Hasebe, will do everything for the master.

The master has been working hard for this honmaru, and many times in the middle of the night, he can still see the master working hard to practice the use of spiritual power. Although he has persuaded the master many times not to be so anxious, he said that as the master, he also hopes to protect us as swords.What a blessing it is to have such a good master. I really don't understand why those people still make trouble for the master, and they complain non-stop. I don't know that the master reschedules the second day every day in order to consider all the staff. How much thought does one day's work take?If there is any dissatisfaction, how about coming to the training ground to compete, Izumi Mori Kanesada, the master never gave me an order to release the water.

Master, if you want me to wait here, no matter how long, as long as you will come back to me.However, being taken away by others, haha... Even Tsurumaru-san, I would...

——Observation Diary of Master Hasebe

No matter how quiet it was, they were still in the izakaya, and the group finally moved to the base camp of the Nuragumi.

Tsurumaru held Natsume in his arms and placed him in the inner room of the room. He was about to leave, but he didn't know why Natsume was uncomfortable. Tsurumaru could feel Natsume's spiritual power fluctuating a bit.Tsurumaru tried to put the main sword beside Natsume, but Natsume turned over and held the sword in his arms, and fell asleep again, but the fluctuation of spiritual power also stopped.

Worried about waking Natsume up, Tsurumaru didn't touch him anymore, and said a little helplessly, "There's no sign of waking up at all. He's still a child. It would be nice to grow up a little bit."

He walked back to the outer room, where the Nuliang team was waiting, and continued the unfinished topic: "The Hyakumonogatari I mentioned earlier refers to the game of summoning ghosts that was invented by humans?"

"That's right, according to the legend, you only need to light a hundred candles and blow out one candle after telling a strange story, and when all the candles are blown out after telling a hundred strange stories, monsters will appear." Shou Wu returned to the group, Just take off the scarf, his head is not connected with the body, but suspended there.

"Generally speaking, people will stop the game when they tell the nine stories of No.90. But recently, a monster named Hundred Monogatari has indeed appeared. That is to say, someone deliberately told the hundredth story and induced A hundred stories."

Crow tengu with huge wings stood by the window, "According to the reports of the crows, those victims were invited to participate in the game of Hundred Monogatari before they were killed."

"But I couldn't find a venue to hold Hundred Stories. From this point of view, the intelligence work is really not done well." Niugui interjected, and Yatengu looked at each other, and turned their heads away in anger.

Nuliang Liban persuaded with a haha: "Niugui, don't be so serious, relax a bit, Yatengu has also tried his best."

"You're too relaxed, Nidaime." Ushiki sighed, "There are such unstable elements acting wantonly within the scope of our Nuliang Group, which really damages the reputation of the Nuliang Group."

Tsurumaru asked curiously: "Is the target of Hyakumonogatari only human beings?"

Yatengu replied: "Since we found out that such a thing happened, we have restricted the members of the group and prohibited them from participating in any related monster banquets."

Niu Gui closed his eyes and said nonchalantly: "If there are still monsters who died because of this, it can only be said that his strength is nothing more than this."

"Cow ghost!"

"Since no monster was killed, why do you monsters worry about human affairs?" After asking this sentence, the room suddenly became quiet.

Tsurumaru found that everyone except Nura Kobi had a look of "I don't care what happens to other human beings", "Oh? This is a bit beyond my expectation."

At this time, Mao Changji came in with snacks and drinks, and placed them in front of Tsurumaru and Nuliang Liban respectively, without preparing for others.

When Shuwu was about to ask questions, Mao Changji winked at Niugui and Yatengu, grabbed Shuwu's head by the way, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, just give this place to the second generation. He and Otome have prepared a lot of things, and everyone is waiting for you. By the way, Yuki is here to help."

Yatengu shook his head, and said as he walked, "Didn't you say don't let Xuenv make trouble?"

"How does this sentence relate to her?" Mao Changji hugged Shouwu's head, completely ignoring the other party's painful voice and went out. Niu Gui supported Shouwu who couldn't control his body and followed out.

After everyone left, Tsurumaru clapped his hands and said, "It's amazing, with such a lubricant, it's no wonder you can run around."

"A lot of times it's thanks to her presence." Nuliang Liban nodded with a smile, and continued, "I said it before, I'm a half-demon."

"Father is a generation of cunning ghosts in this Nuliang group, and my mother is a human princess. I have inherited the blood of monsters and humans. Of course, I must bring both of them under my protection."

"Even human beings are afraid of monsters?" Tsurumaru said with some evil intentions.

Nuliang Liban laughed aloud: "Hahaha! It would be great if we could do this!"

He stopped smiling, and poured a glass of wine for both Tsurumaru and himself, "The existence that is feared by humans is exactly the attitude we monsters should have."

"Is this the path you've chosen? It's an answer full of surprises."

"Originally, thanks to the efforts of the Nuliang Group, the monsters and humans in Kanto have been living in peace for a long time. If it continues, the monsters and humans can be completely divided into two worlds that do not interfere with each other. But at this time, Hundred Monogatari appeared and broke the balance here."

"I don't know what method the prisoner used to gather so many people with spiritual power, but since I discovered the fact of harming human beings, don't think that I will let him continue."

Nuliang Liban paused for a while, and said, "I've been talking about me for so long, what about you?" He pointed to the inner room specifically, "Is that boy your future?"

"Me..." Tsurumaru also looked there, and replied evasively: "When I was only a sword, I went through thousands of years and changed many masters. The current master is him, that's it."

He suddenly thought of the scene when he just met Natsume, the silly expression on the other party's face and the surprise in his eyes, the blurted out "angel" became the source of his deliberate teasing of the other party, and the short time together made him very fond of this master. satisfy.

Nuliang Liban looked at him and said meaningfully: "Sometimes, words don't represent the inner thoughts."

Tsurumaru did not deny the other party's words, and said with a smile: "Hehe, maybe. Even though he is a crane, he likes to stay in the same place for a long time occasionally."

"You really like me. If I can have a cup of wine with you, it would be great to let this crane of yours become a member of my Hundred Ghosts Night Walk."

"It's a pity, although it will scare the master, this is not the way I hope." Tsurumaru put on a smile as usual, "Of course, one day, I will let this heaven be surprised by me too .”

"Then I'm looking forward to it too."

"This is a human child. This is the first time I have seen it."

"Me too~"

"The last time I saw human beings was when Yingji was around, right?"

"Oh, so speaking, he and Yingji feel very similar."

"No, it doesn't look like it at all."

"I said feeling, feeling."

"Hush! He's waking up!"

Half asleep and half awake, Natsume heard whispering voices coming from his ears, and struggled to wake up, in front of him was a group of strangely shaped little monsters.

"Wow!" Natsume and the little monsters called out together.

Natsume sat up all of a sudden, and the little monsters ran away one after another. He looked around and found himself in a place he didn't know, "Where is this?"

He was trying to stand up with his hands on his hands, but he bumped into something, and when he looked down, it was a snow-white sword. "Tsurumaru's sword..."

"Are you finally awake?" Tsurumaru's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Natsume turned around, and the other party was sitting listlessly leaning against the wall, looking at him with his mouth drooping, "Yeah, yah, if you go back to sleep, I'm going to be bored to death."

"Sorry...?" Tsurumaru couldn't help laughing out at Natsume's reply as if he hadn't woken up.

Tsurumaru pulled Natsume up, helped him tidy up his clothes, carefully adjusted the position of the mask, and explained: "We are now at Nura Kotomo's house, don't tell me you don't even remember him."

"I still remember that." Natsume blushed a little, Tsurumaru got too close, making him not know where to look, which caused the other party to laugh again.

He saw the embarrassing appearance again, and always felt that being with Tsurumaru was not like himself.

Probably guessing what Natsume was thinking, Tsurumaru leaned closer on purpose, and said softly, "Master is so shy, are you infatuated with me?"

Natsume rolled his eyes at him, feeling a little hot on his face, but fortunately there was a mask to prevent him from being seen.

There was a strange noise in the corner on the side, Natsume turned his head and saw a little monster with a head of strange grass bundles and only one eye trying to stuff other monsters into the corner, still saying: "Hurry up and hide~ Don't mess around in front of this lord, it's too rude, you can't embarrass the general and the second generation."

The innermost one-horned goblin was about to be squeezed into thin slices, "Stop, little monk Natto...breathing...can't come."

Natsume sighed, and went to help pull the monsters away, Tsurumaru raised an eyebrow and said, "Youkai phobia is cured so quickly?"

"It's just a few little monsters, I'm not even afraid of them."

Tsurumaru picked up the sword and put it back on his waist, and said, "By the way, master, I forgot to tell you something. Nuliang Kouban is the master of demons and monsters, and his home is also the so-called base camp of monsters."

Natsume suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, Tsurumaru opened the sliding door of the room, and a lot of monsters lying on the door all fell in.

"Too many!" Natsume complained, looking outside the door, there are still many little monsters running away.

Natsume raised his forehead, how many monsters were waiting outside while he was asleep...

As if guessing what Natsume was thinking, Tsurumaru said, "This is an amount that would scare even me, after all, it's the home of youkai~"

"Don't always say it so easy." Natsume looked out the window, ignoring the monsters who were looking here curiously, "By the way, how long have we been out, if we don't go back, everyone in Honmaru will be worried. "

"Don't worry, the props of the Government of Time are much easier to use than imagined."

Tsurumaru took out a portable time-space conversion device from nowhere, put it in front of Natsume, pointed to the dial and said, "Look here, you can choose the time to go back. In this way, we can play more, no, we can do more matter."

"You just said that you want to play for a while, right..."

"Since I can stay for a while longer, I have something to ask you, young man." The voice of Nuliang Liban interrupted their conversation and walked in. The little monsters saw that the leader was also coming. All ran away.

Natsume was taken aback by the dignified look on Nuliang Koban's face, "What's wrong?"

"It's something I told Tsurumaru before." Nuliang Koban explained the matter of Hyakumon a little bit, and continued, "Just now I got the news from Yatengu's side, and finally there is a victim of a monster Tsk, I clearly said not to act rashly until the culprit is found."

"Now the guys in the Nuliang team can't settle down. If they haven't been able to find the other party's lair, I'm afraid they would have rushed over without obeying the command."

"Why did such a thing happen?" Natsume knew for the first time that monsters would hurt each other, and then he thought of his spiritual power, and couldn't help touching his fox mask, and he felt a little calmer.

However, Nura Koban said something that surprised him even more.

"We checked it out, and the first time Hundred Monogatari appeared happened the night after I met you last time, boy." Natsume's complexion suddenly turned pale when Nurame's words meant something. .

Nu Liang Kaiban closed one eye, "If I remember correctly, young man, last time you met a lot of monsters, right? At that time, did you have this fox mask to block your spiritual power?"

"No... yes..." Natsume's heart sank. Could it be that the target of Hyakumonogatari is actually him?

Tsurumaru patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Master, trust me with your safety. Even though it's not a dagger, I will always be by your side."

He said to Nuliang Liban: "Tell us such a thing specifically, it seems that there is a very important matter that needs our help?"

"That's right, if possible, I hope you, young man, can be used as bait to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes."

The author has something to say:

Honmaru Small Theater:

Horikawa Kunihiro (glanced at the situation on the side of the dagger): Kane-san, you should also be careful not to drink too much

Izumi Mori Kanesada blushed and hugged Horikawa Kunihiro: I know, I know... I'm not a child!

Horikawa Kunihiro was shocked: Already drunk? !

The manuscript box is in jeopardy...

In addition, I just want to know how many people like me have taken a bunch of Huche brothers (9), but they can't even see the shadow of Huche big brother...
