Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 640 - Chapter 640 Chapter 553 Hankawa_2

Chapter 640: Chapter 553 Hankawa_2 Chapter 640: Chapter 553 Hankawa_2 He wore an indifferent expression, “Everyone is connected, it’s safer for all of us, and one more person won’t make a difference.”

“If worst comes to worst, I’ll just say you’re the child of a friend of mine.”

Aoki Kazuo’s expression froze, and though he hesitated, he steeled himself and said, “Maybe, maybe you could arrange for me to be… to be Senka’s husband.”

The last two words even made Aoki Kazuo feel unsure of himself.

After speaking, he nervously glanced around at everyone, thankful that Higurashi Chika was unconscious at the moment and hadn’t heard a word.

“Don’t get any wrong ideas, this is just a hypothetical identity,” he hastened to explain.

“No one here is overthinking it,” Yukiko said with a blank face.

“However,” she changed tack, “that arrangement is not reasonable.”

“Why not?” Aoki Kazuo retorted eagerly, sensing that this might be a highlight of his life.

If he missed this chance, perhaps…

“Why? Because who’s going to believe that?” Yukiko pursed her lips.

“Look at yourself, then look at Senka, do you really think anyone would believe you two are married?”

“I… I’m still a Third Tier Onmyoji, I’m not as bad as you make me out to be!” Aoki Kazuo argued.

Yukiko chuckled and gently patted the wooden board she was sitting on.

“Those two pulling the cart outside are also Third Tier.”

“This is Everworld, Third Tier cultivators are a dime a dozen.”

Aoki Kazuo looked utterly dejected and, after a moment’s thought, could only shrink back into the corner.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be safe,” Yukiko consoled.

“After all, no one will pay too much attention to you.”

Aoki Kazuo felt he should say thanks, but no matter how he heard it, it didn’t seem comforting at all, on the contrary, it made him feel even more stifled.

“Let’s leave it at that,” Michihiro Morita concluded and then turned to Roger with an apologetic look, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to help much, but instead, I got you all dragged into this mess.”

“Once I start forging, maybe I’ll have a chance to thoroughly resolve the issue with that weapon.”

Michihiro Morita promised.

He sighed, “Honestly, it’s my fault for bringing Yukiko into this, if I hadn’t wanted to fake my death to get away, and if I had stayed put, then none of what followed would have happened.”

“No, it’s not your fault,” Yukiko said to comfort him, “Even if you had stayed, they would have found me sooner or later.”

“About the Yatagarasu Clan, is there anything we need to know?” Roger asked.

“Of all the Four Great Sword Pavilions, the Yatagarasu Clan has the shortest history, but they have such a great influence solely because of the Yatagarasu Sword Master, also known as Yatagarasu Kensumi’s father,” Michihiro Morita explained.

“Sword Master, that is something countless samurais dream of achieving.”

“The strength of that man is recognized by everyone, but unfortunately, even the most powerful cannot escape the ravages of time and the wear of the years.”

“Perhaps it is for that reason that he started advocating methods to extend life, or even more drastically, to live forever through special means.”

“Yatagarasu Kensumi is widely recognized as a swordsmanship prodigy, but compared to his father, he is but a bright moon to distant stars, you must understand that 100 years ago, there were only three greatest Sword Pavilions in the world.”

“It was the rise of Yatagarasu Jackdaw that made it four,” Michihiro Morita said with a smile.

“Don’t laugh, but when I was a kid, I grew up listening to stories about Yatagarasu Jackdaw.”

“Ah, those were stories of a living legend.”

Morita sighed deeply, a wistful look on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and continued, “I guess there must have been a major change in the whole plan.”

“At the start, even though it was a trinity, the main focus was on the souls of the cultivators, but now, they urgently need an exceptionally skilled forge master, does this mean the focus has shifted?”

“Shifted towards Casting Technique, and Guardian Spirit inheritance?” Morita speculated thoughtfully.

“To my knowledge, during the rise of the Yatagarasu Clan, they swallowed up numerous schools great and small, and also collected countless ways of inheriting traditions.”

“Among them, many were below Third Tier, lacking the crucial core of Guardian Spirit inheritance, but there are also some that can systematically condense Guardian Spirits and even cultivate to Fourth Tier.”

Hearing this, Roger’s expression became intrigued, “Are you saying that the Yatagarasu Clan has compiled many swordsmanship legacies from different schools?”

Michihiro Morita nodded, “Exactly how many, no one except the core members knows, but a rough estimate would still be over a hundred.”

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

Roger masked his facial expression, silently contemplating.

If he could acquire the swordsmanship inheritances collected by the Yatagarasu Clan, Roger believed he could accelerate the integration of the Sword Seal.

“Can you get access to these things?”

Roger asked tentatively.

“How could I?” Morita shook his head with a wry expression, sizing up Roger, “You’re not possibly interested in these things, are you?”

“Although it’s widely rumored that the Yatagarasu Clan’s legacies are very powerful, for every school, condensing the Guardian Spirit is the most important information.”

“Moreover, among these three aspects, the issue of the Guardian Spirit has always been solely managed by Kensumi’s father, and outsiders have had no opportunity to get involved.”

“I’ve heard that he has a special team under him, constantly collecting the Secret Laws of powerful schools for his research and analysis, but whether that’s true or not, I have no idea.”
