Golden Skull United Forces VS Blackbeard Pirates, 2nd Round 5
"Master, that was a really cool remark, but no one noticed, you know?"
Shiro pointed out calmly.
I have done it...
Certainly, no one is listening.
Why am I always a house mouse when it comes to making cool lines?
The body of a mouse is too small to be seen by people, and the volume of its voice decreases to match its body.
"Master, wouldn’t it be a good idea to go back to your normal body and start all over again?"
"There is a timing to every conversations!"
The oni people and the ogres are having fun playing rock, paper, scissors to see who will be the representative. There's no way I can say it again at this moment.
"If you keep complaining like that, you’ll miss the boat again, you know?
Master, you've been training for 1000 years, but you haven't shown it off to anyone yet, right?"
"That’s true, but I guess my excitement level has gone down…"
Yes, timing is important in everything.
After such a spectacular slip, I can't go back to the original tension now.
I'm in quite a shock right now.
"But then you can’t fight Blackbeard, you know?
I think the only person who can fight Blackbeard properly is Master, right?"
"There's still Anne and the Sebastian brothers, right?"
"Master, you may have missed it because of the shock, but Anne-san and the Sebastian brothers won’t be participating, you know?"
"Why?"
"Anne-san seems to have a moderate nature to begin with, and so far there hasn't been any damage to Onigashima, so she doesn't need to fight.
And it seems like the Sebastian brothers won't be participating, since their opponent, the witch Merlin, won't be participating.''
"I see……"
Certainly, if the witch Merlin showed up, things would be dangerous.
After all, the witch Merlin is the only one who is far superior in ability.
If the same magic that wiped us out was released, it might wipe out Onigashima as well.
"Shiro won't be participating?"
"Like Master, I also missed the timing. If the oni people and the ogres are so enthusiastic, I can't really ask them to give the spot to me..."
The only survivors of the Blackbeard Pirates are Blackbeard, Kojiro, Maopaipai, and three others I don't know.
The top brasses, who appear to be mages, are all seriously injured.
There seemed to be no mage who could guard against Mary's unexpected blow.
No one would have thought that such a dangerous slashing wave would be generated from Mary's casual swing of the wooden sword.
The way she fights is exactly like that of a swordsman.
Defeat the mages before they start chanting.
Well, Mary is on a different level than a normal swordsman.
"Certainly, there is no room for Shiro to appear.
The only people left in the Blackbeard Pirates are warriors and fighters.
I don't think someone with a tricky fighting style like Shiro will show up.''
"Yes. I feel like if I show up, it's going to be a turn-off.
However, if Master, who can also fight as a swordsman, I think it is possible for Master to participate.''
Personally, I think of myself as a swordsman, but Shiro probably remembers my mage-like fighting style from my Skeleton days and Lich days more vividly.
"Didn't Master's skeleton days consist mostly of just having your bones licked by the Fang Wolves?"
"You've never seen me get my bones licked by the Fang Wolves!"
"I can see everything inside Master’s head, I know everything about Master."
Shiro grins.
I can't hide anything from Shiro.
She even tries to come with me when I go to the bathroom.
It's okay if I just pee, but she also tries to come along even when I'm not urinating.
How much does she love me?
Well, sometimes I ask her to wipe my crotch after taking a pee.
Or, when I did it,
"Kyui!"
Suddenly, Ori Hime's happy voice was heard.
Apparently, before I knew it, she was participating in rock-paper-scissors to determine participants in a 1 v 1 elimination battle against the Blackbeard Pirates.
"Alright!"
Next, Anne and Mary's younger brother Lilo stands out as the winner.
"Master, three slots have already been decided, you know?"
"Three slots?"
"Master, haven’t you heard the rules?
The rule is that each team sends out five people: the spearhead, the second spearhead, the mid-rank, the vice commander, and the general. If the Blackbeard Pirates win in total, they will be spared, and if they lose, everyone commits seppuku."
"Seppuku? Seppuku is a common method of execution for Japanese people, but for foreigners, it is a very hard way to commit seppuku!
I mean, how many people can commit seppuku by cutting their own guts out?
I don't think someone like Blackbeard, who betrays his friends and tries to escape, can commit seppuku......"
"Don't worry! I heard that he will be accompanied by an escort."
"Then there's no problem."
I honestly agree.
When I was a student, I read my favorite author, Ryotaro Shiba, and was shocked.
It is said that a samurai in the closing days of the Edo period, after committing seppuku, would stick his hand through the cut, grab his own guts, and throw them at the foreigners who had caused him to commit seppuku.
When I looked into it later, I learned that starting around the Kamakura period, when a battle was lost, people would commit seppuku and take out their own intestines, saying things like, [Behold how I live my life as a samurai]. Apparently it was common to throw things at people.
Well, if a samurai saw it, it would have been a great ending and would have been applauded, but for the foreigners at the end of the Edo period, it was apparently quite a shocking event.
In order to make sure that they were actually committing seppuku, they performed this intestine throw to the foreigners who had come to see them. The foreigners vomited and reportedly begged them to cancel it.
However, the samurai who were waiting for their turn to commit seppuku became extremely angry, saying, [What are you talking about, stopping a samurai from committing seppuku, which is the most dignified ceremony of a samurai! How dare you insult the samurai!]
I don't remember whether the rest of seppuku was performed after that, but
Samurai loved to commit seppuku, and it was important for them to show how they died gracefully and in a dignified manner.
"Bushido, or the way of the samurai, is found in death."
It is no exaggeration to say that everything about the samurai is condensed in these words.
