The person in front of him wore a fox-like mask and was dressed in a masculine swordsman uniform, but his figure had extremely obvious female features.
Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side.
Almost subconsciously, Tora Chiyo lowered his head, and then——
Lost!
A complete failure!
A sense of frustration at failure in life made Tora Chiyo fall into the gloom of life for a while.
However, soon, Tora Chiyo came back to her senses.
"You are?"
The family's good education allowed Tora Chiyo to maintain his grace at this time.
Of course, more importantly, Tora Chiyo confirmed that the person in front of him did not have any malicious intentions for the time being.
What if there is really malicious intent?
Even though her strength is much greater than hers.
She won't give in either.
"Feel sorry."
Unexpectedly, the lady opposite him bowed after Torachiyo spoke.
This made Tora Chiyo stunned.
She blinked, trying to control her gaze and look at the fox mask instead of being attracted by other things that were not worth mentioning.
"I'm sorry for what happened to the Uesugi family."
"Although I tried my best to hunt down that guy."
"But, I didn't expect her to jump into action so quickly."
"I'm so sorry!"
With that said, the bowing lady knelt down on the ground.
This made Tora Chiyo even more puzzled.
It was not the words of the lady in front of him. From the other party's words, Tora Chiyo could confirm that everything that happened to the Uesugi family should be related to someone the other party was chasing.
She understands this.
The other party apologized, and she understood.
But the other party's behavior puzzled her.
One is the act of bringing her here.
The second is to ask the other side to get down.
Although Torachiyo doesn't know the other party's identity yet, she has witnessed the other party's strength with her own eyes.
There is no doubt that he is better than her.
Such a strong man apologized to her and bowed to her because his pursuit was unfavorable.
Are there any people in the "other world" who firmly believe in morality?
For a time, Tora Chiyo became very fond of the lady in front of him.
The education that Tora Chiyo received since he was a child, when he came into contact with the "other world", although his three views were not completely shattered, it still underwent a huge change.
What she saw was strength and weakness.
What she saw was wanton killing.
It seems that strength is everything.
The powerful can kill and kill the weak.
This made Tora Chiyo feel very uncomfortable.
However, she knew better that such discomfort was nothing to the entire 'other world'.
Even worse than...dust.
It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the world!
She really wanted to say these words willfully.
Unfortunately, her reason told her how ridiculous it would be to say this, and what she would encounter.
There is a high probability that he died without a complete body.
Fortunately, there is Jason.
In Jason, Tora Chiyo not only saw strength, but also saw 'morality'.
It is a kind of morality to draw a sword to help.
Therefore, Tora Chiyo just had a great yearning.
And, I recalled my original ‘dream’.
"Where justice reaches, the blade points."
Torachiyo murmured to herself in a low voice, and then she looked at the lady wearing the fox mask in front of her and smiled.
Now that we have Jason, we have the lady in front of us.
So, why doesn't she join in?
Maybe the 'other world' is cruel, but complaining can't solve the problem.
Only by joining can change be achieved.
She firmly believes that people are kind.
"Thanks."
Tora Chiyo said.
The lady who was sitting next to the gentleman was startled.
She had no idea what was going on, but she knew that this was not the time to ask questions.
That guy moved too fast.
She had to take action immediately.
"Tora Chiyo, you stay here, I will create a barrier to hide and protect you."
"After that, I will come back to pick you up."
After saying these words, the lady in front of me raised her hand.
Clang!
With the sound of the sword being unsheathed, a long knife appeared in the lady's hand.
The process was lightning-fast, but Tora Chiyo saw it clearly.
This long knife emerged from this lady's finger.
The sword can be sealed in the finger... no, in the body?
Tora Chiyo thought silently.
Longing for it!
For Tora Chiyo, who loves swords, this secret technique that is integrated with the sword is really tempting.
However, she didn't say much at this time.
She knew very well that such a secret skill could never be obtained by just talking.
Once you say it, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, the education she received prevented her from doing such a 'shameless' thing.
Therefore, Tora Chiyo just watched the lady in front of him draw a circle on the ground with a long knife, and circled her.
After doing all this, the lady will leave.
At this time, Tora Chiyo couldn't bear it anymore.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Can you tell me your name?"
Tora Chiyo asked.
The lady wearing the fox mask hesitated.
According to convention, she should not tell the other party's name.
However, after experiencing such a thing and the pain the other party endured, she really couldn't bear to refuse.
The apology in her heart made the lady speak.
“The grass wall is beautiful.”
"My name."
After saying that, Cao Bimei turned around and walked towards the ancestral house.
"Is the grass wall beautiful?"
Tora Chiyo repeated the name in a low voice. She always felt that the name represented something, but she couldn't grasp what it was.
Kusakabemi heard Torachiyo's mumbling, but didn't take it to heart.
Although she knew that after saying this name, Tora Chiyo would be able to know the meaning of this name and understand her identity as long as she had a little contact with the 'other world'.
But if she says it, she won't regret it.
And, now!
"Caobi Lei!"
As soon as she walked into the Uesugi family's ancestral home, Kusakabe Mei almost shouted through gritted teeth.
In a courtyard that is not exquisite but large enough.
Kusakabi Mei saw the figure she was chasing.
In front of a crisp forest, a figure stood.
Tall, wearing a white swordsman uniform, his long black hair was combed into a high ponytail, fixed with a pure gold hairband, his eyes were narrow and fox-like, his nose was high and his lips were thin.
Paired with that fair skin, she is a really beautiful woman.
However, a scarlet patch of blood was at her feet.
This beauty brings out a danger.
None of the dozen or so guards at the Uesugi family's ancestral home were alive.
They all fell to the ground and died after their throats were cut with a sword.
Of course, death is not immediate.
It took quite a long time before he died.
Pain and fear remained on everyone's face.
Even his face was distorted.
But looking at such death, the tall female swordsman in front of her was smiling.
It seems...enjoying it.
"You're killing innocent people again!"
Cao Bimei scolded angrily and rushed towards Cao Bi Lei.
Clang!
A touch of cold light.
The sharp long knife passed over Cao Bi Lei's body.
However, the next moment, this body disappeared into nothing.
phantom?
No!
Afterimage!
Because the speed is too fast, it leaves an afterimage on the retina.
Wow!
The bamboo forest swayed in the wind, and after a slight pause, it fell down in pieces.
The bamboo leaves are flying and dancing up and down.
When a bamboo leaf unconsciously passed by a bamboo, the pillar as thick as an arm was broken straight in the middle.
Smooth and flat.
It's like cutting it off with a knife.
But all that was flying were bamboo leaves.
It's not just this bamboo leaf.
All bamboo leaves are like this.
The places they pass by are peaceful one moment and devastated the next.
This is true whether it is bamboo or the ground.
A series of sharp sword energy is hidden inside.
It looks beautiful, but it hides murderous intent.
The beauty of the grass wall is in the center surrounded by bamboo leaves.
No timidity, no timidity.
The long knife in his hand was swung rapidly, turning into a white light, and the grass wall rushed straight towards the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing sounded in the air.
Clang, Clang Clang!
Continuously, one sound was louder than the other.
clang!
When the last sound rang out, the swords clashing together turned into a sound like the ringing of a big bell in a temple.
Sparks appeared between the blade and the bamboo leaves.
The next moment, the bamboo leaves shattered into powder and flew away with the wind.
The blade continues to move forward.
However, he was dodged by the tall figure.
"After several years of not seeing each other, your intuition has become more accurate."
Cao Bi Lei said with a smile.
"I will never be deceived by you again."
Cao Bimei slightly retracted her knife.
It's not about timidity.
But to accumulate strength.
She will use her strongest blow to decide the outcome with one sword.
In the same way, it is also a matter of life and death with one sword.
"The murderous intention is really getting stronger and stronger."
"Have you forgotten that I am your sister?"
"Do you really want to kill your sister?"
Cao Bi Lei said in a plaintive tone, but was interrupted by Cao Bi Mei the next moment.
"shut up!"
"Ever since you betrayed the family, you are no longer my sister."
"Moreover, you killed the clan guards and stole the 'Forbidden Blade' sealed by the clan. How dare you say that you are my sister?"
Cao Bimei asked Cao Bi Lei.
The tall female swordsman sighed with disappointment.
"Sure enough, you still haven't grown up."
"Even now, you still don't understand anything."
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"Why would the family send you to hunt me down? You must know that you are not the strongest in the entire family. Although you are talented, you still lack time before your potential has turned into strength."
Cao Bi Lei looked at Cao Bi Mei, and there was a light in her eyes that seemed hard to let go.
"What they want to see is us killing each other!"
"It's like they wanted me to be a puppet!"
"You now?"
"That's who I was back then!"
"You replaced me and became a puppet!"
Cao BiLei's voice began to rise in pitch.
The voice got louder and louder, like thunder that struck Cao Bimei's heart.
Cao Bimei, who was holding the knife, trembled with her hand.
The blade of the knife trembled.
Because what Cao Bilei said is true.
Although she is said to be the most talented person in the Caobi family, she is not the strongest.
Growth takes time.
And the instructions given by the family are completely killing it.
strangle her.
Or rather...
Do you think Cao Bi Lei will show mercy to her?
That's right.
It's about showing mercy.
Ever since they first met, Caobi Lei has never taken the initiative to attack... Wait a minute!
Never attacked?!
Kusakabi Mei suddenly thought of something.
The heart that was rippling just now because of Cao Bi Lei's words suddenly calmed down.
The trembling blade instantly became firm.
Stab, sting.
Small lightning bolts appeared on the blade.
When she saw these tiny thunder and lightning, the tall female swordsman who had been breathing calmly suddenly froze.
That strange reaction confirmed Kusakabi Mei's guess.
"Who are you?"
"Where's Caobi Lei?"
"Where is she?"
Cao Bimei asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, the response is too slow."
"Where is your lord?"
"How could I possibly tell you!"
The tall female swordsman said with a sneer, and her voice changed from a delicate female voice to a rough male voice.
Moreover, before she finished speaking, the other party rushed towards Caobi Mei.
Less than 5 meters away, the opponent's figure was inflating like a balloon.
The tall female swordsman looked like a burst balloon, which shattered into pieces with a pop, and what was left was a monster over five meters tall, with a green face and fangs, and a dark body.
"My lord, you just asked me to hold you back!"
"But after killing you, I will definitely be very happy!"
"rest assured!"
"I will keep your skin!"
With a sense of sadistic excitement, the demon in front of him began to salivate, and his body, which was already beyond ordinary people's imagination, began to expand again.
Especially those claws.
Not only has it grown bigger, but it has become sharper.
Each claw tip is like a long knife.
"Go to hell!"
With such a cry, the demon's sharp claws clawed at Cao Bimei.
Then--
"Raikiri!"
A low drink.
The moment the demon's claw fell, Cao Bimei's whole body turned into a bolt of lightning and stood out.
When Kusakabi Mei appeared again, she was already standing behind the demon.
The demon still maintained its claw-waving appearance.
After a full second, the demon turned around.
"Is this your sword skill?"
"It's really not worth mentioning."
"I'm still unscathed until now..."
laugh!
The demon's words stopped in its throat, and it smelled the aroma of barbecue.
Subconsciously, it lowered its head.
Suddenly, I saw a big hole in my chest.
It was pierced.
It was also roasted.
It had never felt pain before.
It's just because the opponent's sword is too fast.
It's almost reaching the point where its nerves have no time to react.
And now, when everything returns -
It faces only death.
But even when it dies, it still never forgets its master's instructions deep in its heart.
Sir!
Feel sorry!
I was careless!
The demon stood there, his whole body stiff and turned into charcoal.
Kusakabi Mei, on the other hand, didn't even look at the other person and rushed straight outside.
She knew she had been fooled.
Hope Torachiyo is okay!
When she thought that her mistake had put Tora Chiyo in crisis, Kusakabi Mei was extremely worried.
But just when she rushed to the gate of her ancestral home——
bite!
A crisp sword cry sounded.
The next moment!
The sword energy soars into the sky!
Amidst bursts of dragon roars, a cold light shot out from the ground.
fell...
In the hands of Tora Chiyo who was already covered in blood.
