Heroic Spirit Transformation System 2

Chapter 8 What heroic spirit will be replaced next?

Although Butterfly Ninja was full of confusion, with Yul Tianyuan as guarantee, she did not press for anything, but politely invited Qiye to go to a temporary base of the Demon Slayer Corps nearby.

Qiye expressed his understanding. For a suspicious guy like him, it would be too arrogant to take him directly to the base camp to meet the lord. This is just the right thing to do.

This operation was unexpectedly fast and easy. Tomioka Giyu was the only injured person. The others at most had some scratches while carrying heavy objects to rescue people, and most of them didn't even have scratches at all.

But with such a small sacrifice, Shangxian Lu was actually killed in less than one night.

After everyone knew the results, they all felt like they were in a dream.

Then they became even more enthusiastic and friendly towards Qiye, who allowed them to achieve this achievement - they actually didn't know Qiye's "identity" yet, they just felt that with the "pillars" as guarantees, they didn't have to worry so much.

As a guest, Nanaya certainly didn't have to work. It could be said that only Nanaya and the injured Tomioka Giyuu rested well until dawn in the temporary base. Everyone else had their own things to do until they finished lunch the next day. What Nanye was looking forward to

The conversation finally started.

At first Qiye thought that since everyone was so vigilant, the person in charge who came to talk must not be the Lord of the Demon Slayer Squad who was unable to get up from bed due to a curse. However, when he opened the door and saw the people in the room,

He was shocked...it was actually the head of the house who came in person and really took him seriously.

"My lord."

Butterfly Ninja and Yul Tianyuan who came with Nanye said respectfully. There are three "pillar" level team members in the temporary base, but Tomioka Giyuu is still recovering from his injuries and did not come.

Of course, Qiye would not kneel down and salute like them. Although the lord's curse had spread to his eyes at a young age and made him unable to see, Qiye was also a polite person. He took off his hat and put it on his chest.

, bowed slightly.

"This is my first time meeting you, Sakamoto Ryoma. Please give me your advice."

"Ahem, cough...please sit down, Mr. Sakamoto. I'm sorry, my body is in such a state that I can't express my gratitude to you properly..." Although the lord looked weak, his spirit was unexpectedly high, and it was probably because of his good health.

The news made me so happy.

Qiye Congshanruliu sat down on his knees.

"I have already heard the report on the specific situation." The lord saved Qiye a lot of trouble as soon as he came in. Qiye was very pleased, "Is that Miss Aaron here now?"

"She is still sleeping." The cooling-off period has not passed yet, Qiye said without changing his expression, "You want to see her?"

The lord did not insist, and just said casually: "I'm just a little curious. I originally wanted to thank you personally... I heard my children describe the scene last night. It's a pity that I couldn't see anything. I didn't expect it.

Those things in the legend actually exist.”

"...Since there are ghosts, it is normal to have monsters and gods." Qiye said, "But Aaron is actually very afraid of strangers, and he may not come out even if he wakes up."

Yul Tianyuan had seen Aaron open his mouth several times and said "Can I eat him/her?" Hearing these words, he simply doubted his life: "......???"

Even after only listening to the report from his subordinates, the lord, who did not know much about Aaron, was a little confused: "...Afraid of life?"

Qiye nodded and tried to make up for Aaron's previous nonsense: "Yes, she's afraid of strangers - ah, if you mind what she said about delicious food, it's actually because she's shy and has nothing to say.

"

"...Yes, is that so?" The Lord was confused.

Qiye said it so hard that he believed it: "Yes."

After a moment of silence, the lord passed this part and said: "Then please Mr. Sakamoto, please wait until Miss Aaron wakes up to help convey our thanks."

"Okay." Qiye agreed readily.

Probably because Qiye was not one of his own, the lord behaved very politely. After he expressed his gratitude in various non-repetitive words, he finally got to the point.

"It's surprising that Mr. Ryoma Sakamoto is still alive."

"Ah... if you are surprised like this, you may be even more surprised in the future." Nanaya began to vaccinate the Demon Slayer Squad, "I'm not the only one like me."

"On this point, could you please tell me what kind of existence Mr. Sakamoto is now?"

Qiye chuckled lightly.

"I am an undead soul that has passed away long ago. I can only temporarily walk on the earth with the blessing of the gods. The dead will not interfere excessively in the world of the living. However, regarding the matter of killing Gui Wu and Wu Mei, we can continue

Let’s discuss it.”

"Gui Wu is not miserable?" The lord asked in surprise, "Are you willing to help?"

"Although I just wanted to get rid of Ibaraki Doji at first, after killing the two upper strings, I discovered that there was something in Onimu and Muzan that should not appear in the human world."

Qiye is not lying. There is a system to prove it - the fragments of the Holy Grail that he needs to recover in this world are actually in Guiwu and Wuhan. This is probably the reason why Guiwu and Wuhan can live as a ghost for so long.

He was also surprised that Aaron still needed to digest ghosts. Only after hearing the new tasks released by the system did he know what was going on.

When making powerful ghosts on the string, Gui Wu and Wu Mei will give them more blood. After Aaron eats the ghosts on the string, the energy content of the Holy Grail fragments in the blood is relatively high, and Aaron is full at once... Although it is only

For the Holy Grail, this amount of energy is insignificant, but for Aaron it is already a lot.

Qiye was very happy to learn that you could get the Holy Grail fragments by eating the string.

Because the Heroic Spirit Card that will be used in the future, based on the personality of the person, is probably not in the mood to explain so much to others, so this time Qiye explained a little bit why he also wanted to fight Ghost Dance and Wu Mei, to save his future self a lot of trouble.

The lord is very sensible. After confirming that Qiye is from his camp, he no longer inquires about the doubts, but communicates on the premise of trusting Qiye.

Of course, in addition to Nanaya himself being a skilled liar, Ryoma Sakamoto's Heroic Spirit Card skill also helped a lot in this regard.

[Leadership c-]: Although he cannot command a country, he can maintain a strong bond with like-minded partners that can be used at both ends. This skill of Ryoma is powerful enough to allow groups that were ideologically opposed to his to join forces with him.

Even groups with opposing ideas can cooperate with Ryoma Sakamoto, not to mention Nanaya who is currently one of their own. It is natural that the Demon Slayer Squad will trust Nanaya under the influence of his leadership skills.

Precisely because he had considered the possibility of forming an alliance with the Demon Slayer Squad from the beginning, Nanaya specifically chose the Heroic Spirit Card with the [Character Temperament] skill - Ah, of course, I was also curious about the reason for Aaron's self-discipline Noble Phantasm.

――In short, so far, everything is within Qiye’s plan.

"Then, the contact method is, if necessary, go to the mansion with the wisteria pattern and borrow a crow that can communicate with you." Qiye and the lord have discussed the contact method. A crow that can talk is really convenient. "

If there is any news about Ibaraki-douji or Onimai Muzan, be sure to inform me. I will explain the difference between Ibaraki-douji and ordinary ghosts in a moment..."

"Is there really no need to bring a crow with me now?" The lord actually understood why he wanted to borrow a crow later. He probably wanted to do something alone, but he still asked... Of course, it wasn't because he was suspicious, it was just

After receiving help from Qiye, I also want to try my best to help Qiye.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I may need to change someone next time. I'll see what he thinks then. Don't worry, the agreement between us is also valid for him."

Yul Tianyuan, who was just listening at first but later joined the discussion, asked in surprise: "Replacement? Who should I replace?"

"I am already a dead person, Mr. Yul Tianyuan." Qiye showed a helpless look, "The undead must look like undead. There are restrictions on walking in the human world... Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos."

If you think about it carefully, this statement... really makes sense!

After all, think about a bunch of dead people who instead go to hell and cause trouble in the world, and think about Aaron's level of destructive power... If this is true, it will make everyone feel more at ease!

"Does Miss Aaron want to go back too?"

"Yes, she is an existence that destroys the balance and cannot be out for too long." Qiye continued to act according to the script he thought of last night.

The lord thought for a moment and asked a question: "Will the person who replaces you also bring someone like Miss Aaron...?"

"Of course not. Not everyone has the chance to be favored by a being like Aaron before he was alive." Qiye calculated that the number of heroic spirit cards with built-in helpers like Sakamoto Ryoma in his hand was really small...

…

Because Qiye's statement sounded like the guy who was coming was just an ordinary person during his lifetime, Yul Tianyuan was a little worried.

After all...he has seen that Sakamoto Ryoma barely made any moves, and the one who really dealt the attack was Miss Aaron! Based on Sakamoto Ryoma's combat power, without Aaron, the newcomer always felt that the other party would die.

In the hands of Ibaraki Douji...ah, he is already dead, maybe there is no need to worry about this?

After Yul Tianyuan expressed his thoughts tactfully, Qiye said that you were worrying too much.

"You don't think that I had such good swordsmanship and such accurate marksmanship when I was alive, right?...Oh, my swordsmanship is indeed good, but it is definitely not as good as it is now."

Butterfly Nin was thoughtful: "What do you mean...?"

"Dead people also have their advantages." Qiye's smile became meaningful, "Some things that we couldn't do before we were alive can now be done easily. We have actually broken away from human beings and have upgraded to the same existence. Whatever happens

It’s not surprising—it’s precisely because of this that the human world is too fragile for us to live in for a long time.”

Because most of the "special features" of Sakamoto Ryoma that everyone sees come from Aaron, so I don't have much idea of ​​what he said "nothing is unusual". I just feel that even if he is dead, he was still a human being during his lifetime.

, it shouldn’t be that great, right?

"So do you know now who will replace you?"

"Of course I know this." Qiye had already made clear arrangements for himself and started to clear obstacles for himself in advance. "I just told you in advance to avoid trouble later... He is not a person who likes to explain.

If you have doubts, you are not as good-tempered as me...but I believe you can get along well."

Everyone felt uneasy when they heard this.

Who doesn’t want an ally who is easy to get along with? But you are saying so lightly now, if something goes wrong then they will be the unlucky ones!

"...Then, who is it?" the lord asked.

Qiye said a name clearly and neatly.

"Oda Nobunaga."
