People Start Clocking in Tokyo

But this enthusiasm finally slowly cooled down day by day, until I saw the old look in the mirror that I could hardly recognize. The Kuki Takeo that day recognized the reality clearly, even if I didn’t recognize it anymore. No matter how hard he worked, he was only a mortal after all, just one of the people in the Nine Ghosts family who couldn't break through the swordsman.

　　 "Knife?" Aoba looked at the knife Kuki Takeo handed out suspiciously. He recognized that this was the knife Kuki Miki held in her hand that night. However, why did he let him come to taste the sword? I don't understand this, but since the other party said so, it doesn't matter if I look at it for myself, just don't know how different it is from my own Demon Sword Village.

"Okay!" Aoba stretched out his hands and respectfully accepted the sword in the hand of Kuki Takeshi. The red-brown wooden scabbard, the thread under the knife body bound by a gold chain, a golden grimace-shaped millet shape, and turned back to the corner. It is also in the shape of a golden grimace, which looks very imposing.

　　 Aoba touched the historical traces left on the scabbard. Although I don’t know which time it was cast, it was definitely made by a master in terms of craftsmanship. This is by no means just a beautiful piece of art.

　　 Nine Ghosts Miki said before that their family is a family with kendo inheritance, so this knife is probably passed down from the ancestors. Aoba hesitated in her heart. If she said ordinary things, she didn't know if it would arouse the anger of the opposing old man. After all, compared with her Demon Sword Village Masaru, this was a bit stronger than the average sword.

　　Although Aoba can still feel the vagueness of the inside of the scabbard and her own Demon Swordsman, but in comparison, it is like a pool of fish ponds compared to Tokyo Bay.

　　 However, since the old nine ghosts want to let his own taste, then he can't speak too harshly.

　　 "Ahem, this knife..."

　　 "Om~~"

　　 "Huh?" A clear and spiritual voice interrupted Aoba's words, he looked at the knife in his hand in a puzzled manner, and he couldn't make a mistake under his own perception!

　　 Just now, the sound came from the knife in your hand?

　　 Aoba picked up the knife in his hand and observed it carefully. I didn't expect this knife to have a weak consciousness. Is this still the ordinary world of the daily fan? How can this kind of thing also appear.

　　 However, for the specific situation, Aoba believes that the two present should be able to answer for him. Thinking of Aoba here, he placed the knife in his hand on the ground in front of him again, and looked up at the opposite Kuki Takeo, waiting for his explanation.

"Hey! That's true." Kunuki Takeo sighed, and looked at Asama Aoba with extremely complicated eyes. Before this, there was even a trace of contradiction in his heart, maybe it's just that Miki read it wrong. After all, he was only a 16-year-old boy, but he thought of the goal of his nine ghost family for dozens of generations, and he hoped it was true.

"Knowing that your heart is full of doubts right now, I will explain it to you now. After all, only the contemporary Patriarch of the Kuki Family and the inherited talents will know all the details." Kuki Takeo straightened his clothes. Looking seriously between the two, the boy Kei Anzuna lying quietly on the ground.

　　 Qingye is even more puzzled, why the old man of the nine ghosts has also begun to use the honorific name.

"Since it's a secret in your family, it's not necessary...Uh!" Suddenly, Aoba remembered something, he looked at the knife in front of him, and met Nine Ghosts before. On Ji’s night, after the knife made a clear sound, the painting style of the whole person was completely changed. At that time, Aoba didn’t care, thinking that the nine ghosts were just because of her weirdness. Swordsmanship changed his attitude and was not connected with this sword at all.

But now, Aoba has to think that everything that happened here, maybe everything is due to this sword. It seems that Miki the Nine Ghosts didn’t tell the truth completely tonight. Inviting herself over may also be due to swordsmanship, but she There are other purposes with this old man.

　　 Kunuki Takeo shook his head to Aoba.

"Then first..." He turned his head to look at Miki the Nine Ghosts next to him, nodded for a moment, and then the two moved a bit in a kneeling posture, and at the same time looked at Aoba, their expressions became more intense. Respectfully.

　　 Aoba looked at the two people who suddenly became serious in surprise. What is this going to do?

　　 "Kuuki Takeo, the contemporary patriarch of the Kuki Family, and his granddaughter Miki Kuki, I have seen Master Kenhao!" Kuki Takeo slowly lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and bowed to Aoba, showing his respect. On the other hand, Nine Ghosts Miki put her fingertips in front of her, bowed to the bottom, and put her forehead on the back of her hand.

　　 "............Eh?" Aoba was completely stunned. He thought of breaking his head and didn't expect such a scene to appear. Although he was indeed a swordsman, how did they know.

"You don't have to wonder, now I will answer for you. The knife you just tasted has been passed down from generation to generation. Since the first generation of Patriarchs, it has been passed down to the next generation of Patriarchs. As for the name I believe you may have heard of it. It is the boy Che'an Gang who has left various records and rumors in history."

　　 "Bozi Kiriyasu? That demon sword?" Aoba was really shocked. I didn't expect that the demon sword boy Kiriyasu who appeared in the miscellaneous history of ghosts and gods would actually exist, and this one? Could there be monsters in this comprehensive world?

　　 "Then, as recorded in history, Boy Kei Anzuna was named after he cut off the head of Jiudun Boy. Does a monster really exist?" Aoba asked Kuki Takeo his doubts.

　　 This old man isn't fooling himself, but he shouldn't. Everything that Aoba has seen along the way, there is no need for this old man to lie to himself, a poor and white high school student. And after seeing the attitude of the old nine ghosts and Miki the nine ghosts just now, Aoba also felt that it was impossible to lie to herself about this kind of thing.

　　 Kunuki Takeo heard Aoba's question and shook his head slowly.

"I don't know if there are any monsters in the world. However, according to the records of the Nine Ghosts Family, this boy Kiryamatsu didn't cut off the head of the monsters." Kuji Takeo first denied the one in front of him. Knife-related ghosts and gods rumors, after all, are related to the first-generation patriarch of his family, and he feels that he still has a great say. As for whether those ghosts really exist in the world, he can't say for sure.

　　 "Master Asama, since you are practicing kendo, you should know that there is a demon in the way of martial arts." Takeo Kuki turned to Asama Aoba.

　　 "Well, this is naturally known." In fact, Aoba doesn't know ~www.ltnovel.com~ But as an otaku who has read all kinds of novels in his previous life, how could he not know what a heart demon is.

"Well, for a long time, there have been too many amazing talents in history. They try to break through their limits every day, but people's hearts are unpredictable. At first, the warriors were divided into two factions. Some people think The martial arts should be based on virtue, but some people believe that martial arts should be based on strength, and the two sides are arguing." Kunuki Takeo recalled the family records.

"Until a person appeared, he completely changed the two factions in relative peace. This person advocated that those with power should have the right to use it arbitrarily. He and his followers tried to completely destroy everything that was hostile to him. In this way, the war between the warriors has lasted for many years. Although the man was eventually defeated, the martial artists of all parties suffered heavy casualties."

　　Kuuki Takeo sighed, recalling the shock on their faces when his grandfather was telling him this history. And in that record, when the writer was recording this period of history, the murderous aura left by the paper, every time he watched it, he would tremble in his heart.

　　 Aoba looked at the Kunuki Takeo who suddenly fell into thought, and knew that the matter was definitely not over yet, otherwise it would not have been such an expression.

"Since then, people from all walks of life have begun to recuperate. Everyone thought that the world would return to peace again. What everyone did not expect was that just a few years later, the person who everyone thought had already died returned. He returned, and at the moment he reappeared in front of the world, he found that he was no longer a human being." Kuji Takeshi paused.

　　 "He was overly pursuing the ultimate power because of his desire for revenge, which caused him to finally lose to his own inner demon and completely degenerate into a demon who only knows to kill."
