In the eight states in the air, I was visiting a shrine in the morning sun rising in the middle.

There was no bloodshed, but a great battle was taking place, this gravel garden.

What a pride, but as for myself, it was a rather satisfying battle.

On the other hand, my chest hurts a little when I think I can't talk to Gallu anymore.

The gravel was back to normal so much that I don't think the game was going on.

The next day, I don't think.

"This is... isn't Lord Sansui"

"You're a stunning peacock."

One of the swordsmen who attacked me the other day, or challenged me.

He was the user of the no-life knife extraction technique, a man who seemed to be one of Galiu's men.

As a result of their raids, I and my master were known to be 'highly skilled' and 'shrinking subjects'.

Nevertheless, I have no resentment for it. They just risked their lives and did what they had to do.

Confirm the strength of the enemy beforehand, it would also be a military law.

"Let it be, because you came to remember the awkward?!

"Yeah, your sword was brilliant too."

"Really...... as long as you're ashamed. I can't notice you taking the time out slightly..."

A quail who bows his head in awe.

As I thought, he was quite a pleasant man.

"... I know it's not about asking first, but why did you see my sword at first sight. Oh too?

I pulled away only slightly to avoid it.

On the contrary, it means that you are confident that you can avoid it altogether.

Assuming he was going to drop my neck, that would have severed my neck considerably as it was.

His sword is a gentle slit in the throat. I guess that means why did you spot that?

"It's a grip. At the time of using the knife extraction technique, I had a super fast move and an idea, but as you know, a knife doesn't mean you have to shake it fast."

It's a simple story.

Suppose you held the sword very lightly.

So if I try to cut even the whole thing, what will happen?

It ends with the tail falling out.

Of course this is the human body, and if the place is the neck, that makes a lot of sense.

But he knows I'm a Immortal. I would not use moves to the point of stabbing him so lightly in the neck, even though there was a possibility that hard work could be used.

If so, I could finally guess that it was a move to rip my throat off.

"If you don't hold on tight, there's no way you can drop your neck or anything. But if you hold on tight and wave your sword, that's not how you can swing faster than your arm moves. If so…"

"A high-speed swing with a light grip on the knife, hence the shallow fat muscle... I saw it"

Keep your head down tight, you're really an uncle.

Somehow, you have a lot on your mind.

"Perhaps that move didn't taste good when you took off your first machete?

"You're right...... the weight of the knife makes your body flush. Even if they took it, it didn't taste good... but for that matter, I didn't neglect to make it through."

Ha ha, and I'm grinning bitterly.

What a pleasant laugh.

He hit me from the bottom, but he's fine.

"... the awkward named himself a spectacular stream, but he was actually broken"

"That's, after all..."

"Yes, I helped Master Gallu, but I'm late."

View the main hall of the shrine.

Many of the treasures made by the Great Heavenly Dog have been sacrificed, where two stone statues had now also been delivered.

"My teacher is Gabay, but he is a little younger than Master Gallu. Of course, on his youth, he followed Lord Fuukei, but he was negative that Master Gallu had abandoned the way men were by the mercury of a wise man..."

An elderly master hands on rejuvenation.

What an evil feeling that is.

But even though it is due to training, it cannot be said to be an evil way because the immortal of immortality uses a treasure created without any particular significance.

Or not if I say so.

You're supposed to be stealing, so that's definitely an evil way or a crime.

"Nor was I allowed to challenge Lord Fuukei when I broke up, and I was put on my sleeve. Well, you should try Lord Fuukei. I know it was annoying..."

I don't fight because I don't need to.

I see, that would be natural reason if I tried it in person.

But what about a long-lived immortal?

"... for us, it was a sad wish to beat Lord Fuukei. But that's why it doesn't make sense to fall into the wrong way. Speaking of which, that's what it takes more than one. It is"

"It's not a victory, is it"

"You're right. Of course, it didn't work out in numbers."

Still, you wanted to win.

I can't sympathize with that, it's something you can't do.

"When Master Gallu returns young, when he is preparing something suspicious with Lord Goku. While I thought the awkward should stop... they flushed me."

He sees his own hands.

Just like my hand, the hand that kept waving my sword.

"Lord Nikawa, who challenged Lord Suibok, well, he tried to use his cursed sword, so it would be inevitable. But you fought on the same mound as us. Thanks to you, I was honestly saved. I'm sure that's the same for Master Gallu."

"I hope so"

"Everyone knows that a wizard can't beat a immortal. But still... when fighting with the same sword. Once again, we were able to respect and admire our ancestors."

Surely it doesn't feel like you're fighting a human being with a storm suddenly blowing up or electrocuting yourself with lightning.

So does Masakazo, but he doesn't feel like he's fighting at all. I don't know what it is. I'm just gonna die before you know it.

Even if we lose, I guess it's not fun. It won't be a fight in the first place.

"Do you mean you have fun losing, too? That's empathetic."

"Even Lord Sansui, is it?

"Yeah, I'm still losing to my master. I've never even thought of it."

"… so much"

If the master cared about it, would he have been suppressed without even killing Gallu?

No, it won't. The master would have drawn the will of his opponent and killed him as he was.

"I hear that Lord Sansui was the deciding factor for Master Gallu with his right arm. Were you already slashed before you fought?"

"Yeah, not long before I got here before I fought you. He was chopped off by an awesome user."

"I couldn't even notice it, I curse my immaturity"

"Tell him to Fusabis, who made the prosthetic hand. I'll be delighted."

"… you are truly transcendent. Even unconscious wounds speak with great pleasure"

"An unconscious wound... is an injury to my honor. I'm so happy to include this stone wound."

Somehow, I fought, I feel it.

Even if you're fighting with a sword, it's not fun to just kill it unilaterally.

"Small moves, dark moves, evil tracks, hidden weapons. In that realm, you beat Master Gallu. That means even those are mastered by you. If you use it, you won't win. I'm glad to hear that. I'm even proud of you."

I'm sure he knows, too.

It's not the original sword move, it's a small move that can be called cowardice. Even that requires unusual training to succeed first class.

Or I'll break it myself a lot.

"The awkward could not see that battle. I lost to you, because I was asleep. Still, my master saw a terrific death battle at the end of the sword."

"Ha ha... that's again"

Nor have I seen the battle between my master and Mr. Fuukei. That, he said, was an unprecedented battle.

That would have been unprecedented, a battle between immortals who devoted their lives to Wu for four thousand years.

Honestly, I wanted to see it too. But then, I went to my parents' house in Blois...

"Last night, they broke the door."

"... I'm not connected back and forth"

"Oh, no, that's right, Gabay, my teacher, said he couldn't wait to finish his studies. You need to get back in there and boost yourself and train your way backwards."

I feel the same way.

The swordsmen who were there must like the sword.

That's why I should have held him up like a boy.

No, if you did, I had a fight.

"Me, too. After all these wounds, I came here..."

Nothing else, an indelible wound engraved on my body.

That was proof of that battle.

"When I think of that fight, my chest is so jumpy. He wants to be stronger, train more, fight more."

It is annoying.

It's not that I want to be a weak bully, but that if I get too strong, I won't be able to compete.

Still, I want to be stronger and fight stronger enemies.

That thought is definitely burning in my chest.

"And the awkward. No, I honestly meant to be a swordsman on one end, but I lost to you and my heart was rejuvenated. This is so boring. I don't want to worry about it!

Strength is to live. So what is the strongest that lies ahead?

Admiration is the essence, what Master Kacho and Master were saying.

Because you admire it, it's worth it to be the strongest.

"Awkward, you're not that young...... can you fight again?

"Yeah, sure. I think I'll be here again, then show me what you've accomplished."

That's what I say, I'll put my left hand out.

He didn't seem to know what that was.

So I packed my time, and I was holding his left hand.

"It's a reunion promise."

"... Ha! So that means a promise!

Stiff hands, gripping each other hard.

Before his hands get old, I want to see him again.

That's what I thought.

"Well..."

"Oh, what can I do for you in the main hall?

I entered the main hall of a shrine lined with many treasures.

Of course, I'm not willing to steal any of that treasure.

"Here, I thought I'd give you my sword, too"

Just now, Gallu's knife is also served.

Conveniently, there was a vacancy on his knife table.

There, I put the knife on my hips, too.

"Is that a forbidden treasure... made by the Great Tengu"

"Yeah, it's a useless sword to me anymore"

If it makes sense that this sword was created.

That must be to fight a swordsman with a contraindication as well.

Because of this sword, that battle became a battle between swordsmen.

Had it not been for this sword, it would not have fulfilled the body.

"... the most powerful sword ever created using the bones of Lord Suibok and Lord Fuukei"

"Think about it, the strongest knife is also a weird story. If you can beat your opponent just by having it, that's not even a knife. It doesn't mean whoever uses it can win."

If only the strongest swordsman can use it, it has no meaning to exist in the first place.

That was so long ago when I proved Eckezax to him...

The sacrifice had reached its frontier a great deal earlier.

"To kill humans, a wooden knife is enough. I'll leave this here."

I put a knife and a piece of paper there.

"... Lord Sansui, what the hell is that paper?

"This is what I wrote about the use of this knife. I got it from Big Heavenly Dog, but without this, you won't be free when someone uses it later."

There are eight ways to use it, the blade of the void.

From outside this dimension, an unjustifiable knife that accomplishes the impossible.

"Honestly, this is in my hands. Too......"

"Too, what is it?

"Too many performances,"

This knife is too bad for me to use.

Assuming you bring it back, you'll be made to do something that isn't your wife's instructions.

Mostly here, there's no point in being in the shape of a knife. Functionally, there are no knife elements.

What's the point of a knife that cuts anything, in the form of a knife?

This would also be a contradiction.

"... is that, is that good? Lose one arm, suffer even indelible wounds, throw away the knife. So what's left?

"There is life. As long as you're alive, you can do it."

Inside the main hall, two stone statues are seated.

I laughed in front of those two, lonely.

A little more, I wanted to talk to him a lot.

I wanted to compete only for the arms of the sword, without any small work.

Even if that settlement was only a deviation of luck, even if it meant my death.

Still, good.

Oh, no.

I don't want to.

"Well! That one, though! If I die, my wife and daughter will cry, though!

"... Oh, oh! Are you married?!

"Yes, it is! I could just drop my master off this time, but he's gonna slash me in the arm. My face is gonna be so much! This is so pissing me off!

Laughing in my tea eyes, I manage to delude myself.

But assuming my daughter or blower is like this, I would mourn with outrageous surprise.

Therefore, no matter what they say, there is no choice.

"Ha ha ha ha!

"... well, yeah! The awkward also have a belt, but he was probably pissed off by his wife and son! He said he was too old and too shabby!

"Really? Really! The path of the sword is steep!

"Anyway, awkward, it was a spectacular master's day, and when it broke the gate, it was a wanderer. Glad they broke the door!

Can I laugh?

No, I guess I'm not more laughable.
