◆ Ronin waiting at Sekijo ◆
Hehe, that's a great number.
I was at the foot of Mount Amatsukami, the only place where I could enter the clan.
There are already a large number of Ronins gathered around Sekiro besides me.
The goal is to get rid of a kid who comes here.
It was a dirty job called assassination, but the rewards were pretty good for it.
But that wasn't the only reason I got a job.
"Kill one kid and you'll be a marshal, Choroy. It's a job."
A nearby Ronin murmurs such a word.
Yes, that's the real reason I got this request.
It was said that if this request was successful, the department directly under the Shogunate would be in charge.
As proof, my client showed me a crest that I couldn't use unless I was a servant of the General's house.
Using it without authorization and without trial means that the client is undoubtedly acting on the orders of the Great Shogun.
"Come quickly, target boy."
I'm ready to kill the target kid.
As ordered by the client, the other assassins dressed up as travellers and merchants lined up to pass through the gate, preventing the kid from escaping into the clan.
In addition, we pretend to wait for the queue to open, and we are scattered around while eating and acting resting nearby.
When a kid comes for a purpose, he'll pretend to be in line and surround the kid, whispering in the eyes of the officials in Sekijo.
In other words, it is impossible for a kid to enter the clan.
We were expecting the target kid now or now.
It was then.
"Oh, hey, what is it?
One of the Ronins who was waiting in disguise looked up at the sky and said such a voice.
Is that it?
When I looked up at the sky wondering what I saw, I saw something strange.
It was something elongated and brown that didn't resemble the sky.
"It's not a bird... A monster?"
"No, even monsters have wings."
He's right. A flying creature must have feathers.
Slowly the sole approached, revealing the whole story.
"What...? A boat?"
Yes, it was a ship.
"" What the hell!? "
"Fu, is the ship flying?
"Why is the ship flying in the sky...? A ship floats on the water!?"
"I don't know!
The ship is approaching a fairly close position and will no longer be in the wrong shape.
Yes, it was definitely a ship.
"Hmm, what is it!?"
"Fu, Ship!?"
Not only us, but also the officials at Sekijo are surprised by the flying ship.
The ship crossed the gate and flew towards Mount Amatsukami.
"... what was that?
"I don't know."
We were confused by the unexplained sight, but when we remembered to wait for the target kid, we turned our attention to the surroundings again.
But after all, the target kid never showed up.
◆ Ronin infiltrated the clan ◆
"I have information on the magic equipment I left behind. Anything seems to be coming our way aboard a flying ship."
The surveillance will contact us, who have already entered the clan and waited for us near the priest's village.
"A flying ship? What is that?
One of the people who heard the report twisted his neck if he didn't understand why. Well, I know how you feel.
"I don't know, maybe some kind of magic device."
Ship magic tools!? Of course, there were magic tools too.
He makes a surprised voice, but he doesn't seem to be really surprised.
Actually, it's not going to change our job.
"Hey, how do you attack a flying magic device? I don't like bows."
"Don't worry. You borrowed magic equipment from your employer?
Yes, our client lent us several magic tools.
Everything to make sure we kill the target kid.
"Oh, that's right. Well, some fat employers lent me magic tools."
"Hehe, we're not like the junk fish waiting at the gate."
"Yeah, we were supposed to be able to intercept them around the village."
You're right.
We are a skilled assassin hired directly by our client.
He belonged to the Shogun's army, and he was a powerful servant of the lord of the great realm.
"Even if it were a flying ship, if you cast the magic of fire with this magic wand, it would be a fire in no time."
"It's a shame I can't cut the kid directly."
Bosley and one of the assassins say the name of the target kid.
Yes, I... no, all the assassins here knew that the identity of the target was Yukinojo Yoren himself, the heir to the General.
We were still asked to assassinate.
"Absolutely! Yeonglian's kid definitely wanted to kill him with this hand!
We used to serve the general's house.
Some were a family of high ministers who served the house of the general, and some were a family of lords and ministers.
The answer is simple if we are asked why we are imitating assassins here.
Because we lost our jobs at the General's house.
There are various reasons for losing a position, such as a person who was taken from his position for committing a major malaise, a family minister of a clan lord who was stared at and whose territory was taken from him because he had spoken to the general.
The only thing I can tell you is that everyone hates the generals.
That's why we got the job of killing the next general, Yukiyuki Yanglian.
To overthrow the current general's house and allow the client to sit in the new general's seat.
At dawn, when it is done, it is promised that we will pave the way for the Sergeant.
The clan of the seized clan lords promises to recover the lost territory, and those who are chased for their positions promise to recover the lost position.
In addition, he promised to give us the positions of lord and minister of kingdom with the current general family.
Destroy the Hate Shogun, and a new Shogun will rule the Empire.
Oh, it's like a dream.
It was worth living like a fucking stockpile until today!
"Oh, it looks like he's here."
When one of the assassins pointed to the sky, a brown mass was floating in the blue sky.
"Wow, I'm really flying. What the hell is that?!?"
"I don't know! Oh, my God!
"Fuck you, General!
Those who couldn't bear it would fly a magic device towards the ship.
A magical flame hits the bottom of the ship and the ship is dyed bright red.
"Hahaha! Burn! Burn!
I can't believe the General's house ended so quickly!
It'll be fun, but it won't be!
"Hahahahaha... hmm?
I felt very uncomfortable there.
Strange, that ship must have been hit by a magic wand and set on fire.
Why didn't you crash? Why aren't you burning up any more?
Why keep flying at the same height?
"What do you mean? Why isn't it broken?
"Then just hit it again!
Attacks with magic tools resume and others begin to join the attack.
I see. I don't know how you endured it, but if you concentrate on this magic attack, it won't be enough!
Massive magic attacks are fired at ships flying in the sky.
"Kuku, this time it's over!
But we were the end of it.
The ship that was being attacked suddenly began to emit light.
"What? What? What are you going to do!?"
And the next moment, a blinking light broke out, and a lot of light fell down on the ground.
"Wow!?"
"Gyaaaaaaa!
Light strikes straight at them, and they're blown away without a clue.
"You attacked me!?"
"Wow! Ouch! It hurts!"
Those who avoided a direct hit also fell down on the ground and wandered around in pain.
"Stupid!? We're protected by magic equipment borrowed from our client!?"
But the attackers were in agony as if they weren't wearing protective equipment.
"Hey, don't be scared! Fight back! They were attacked properly by us. This can't be happening!
That's right, you can't be intact from that attack!
"Die! Oh, my God!
"Fuck you, motherfucker!
Successful men resume their attacks with anger and curse.
However, the ships flying in the sky will launch an attack from the sky with absolute negligence.
It's like rain coming down from the sky, and the people around it are blown away one by one.
"No, no! It doesn't work at all!
"Well, what's going on!?"
The earth was no longer a picture of hell.
No one is hurt, no one is intact.
I was also devoured by the light that came down from the sky, and was severely hurt.
What's going on!? The armor isn't helping!? Did you get caught by a defective product?!
"Damn, it wasn't just an easy job to kill a kid!? I didn't hear that!
"Come on, run! Run!
The relatively minor wounded started to flee in a hurry, but it was already too late.
The opponent is flying in the sky in the first place, and we can't compete because we run on the ground.
"Hyeeeee!? I'll follow you!?"
The fleeing men were also caught up and blown away by the light attack.
"" "" "Gyaaaaaaaaa!" ""
"Ah, how can I defeat such a thing..."
In this way, we, who should have been overwhelmingly advantageous, were destroyed in an instant. Gakri.
◆ some priest ◆
"Now, when will Young Lotus arrive?"
From the use of Mitsu-sama, it was reported that Young-kun of Yanglian would come to perform the ceremony of the general's assault.
However, it seems that Mr. Yamazakura Koji has planned a rebellion and is being obstructed.
"Hmm, Mr. Yamazakura Koji... but I didn't think that Miren was interested in being a general? No, people change. If you immerse yourself in the world for a long time, you will be dyed in the blood of the priests."
But it has nothing to do with us priests. Whoever becomes a general, we only serve our purpose.
And if those who have become generals also know the truth of this land, they can only accept our presence.
At the same time, we can understand the reason why we are not willing to go to the front stage, so it is judged that abandonment is best.
Yes, just like the usurpers who took their place as generals.
We therefore did not care who would take up the position of general.
"Nh, what is it!?"
And someone unusual roughed up their voice.
It is unusual for anyone but children to speak up in this closed village.
What the hell is going on?
When the villagers look in the direction of surprise, there is.....
"" "Fu, the ship is flying!?" "
Yes, a huge ship was floating in the sky.
What the hell is that!?
And the ship wasn't just floating, it started attacking the ground.
"Wow!? I'm attacking!?"
Fortunately, the attack was dropped on the ground a long way from the village, but the ship is approaching us more and more.
The village will be attacked as it is!?
"Here, it's coming this way!?"
"Nh, run!!"
The villagers run away screaming.
"Oh, calm down, everyone! Don't panic!
But the crowd in the panic village is far from it.
Everyone began to flee towards a piecemeal direction in this respect.
"Hey, what's going on in this village!?"
Oh, the gods of Heaven Peak! Please save this village!!
