Original God: I am in Sumeru, and I become the God of Grass at the beginning

"'Ninety-nine things', everything, what do the two customers want to buy?" asked Aoi, the owner of the grocery store, enthusiastically.

"We're not here to buy something. Ying slowly approached the front desk, but found no trace of Kurosawa.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Kurosawa here on credit?" Paimon asked.

"Mr. Kurosawa...... Oh, it was Mr. Kurosawa who sent you, is he going to redeem the sword?"

"So Kurosawa's knife is really with you." "

That's right.

"But why did Kurosawa buy so much grain at the expense of mortgaging his sword to you?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Kurosawa has been coming to us regularly since a long time ago to buy food, all from his own salary.

Aoi paused and continued, "It's just that the price of food has risen recently, and Mr. Kurosawa's own salary is no longer enough, so in the last few transactions, he has had to buy food on credit through IOUs. Hearing

this, Ying couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Did you even mortgage your own treasure knife later...... But why did Kurosawa have to buy so much grain? If the price of food rises, it is better to buy less.

"Well, it's not that simple.

Aoi said abruptly, "For some reason, a considerable number of displaced people came to Inazuma Castle during this time, and Mr. Kurosawa used to only help poor families living outside the city, and the price of food at that time was not very high, and his salary was barely enough. "

It turns out that the so-called relief food was all purchased by Kurosawa himself?" Paimon's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but admire Kurosawa.

Ying pondered for a while and asked, "It doesn't seem that the Heavenly Leader has an obligation in this regard, right?, what did Kurosawa choose to do this for?" "

Well, in fact, I asked him once out of curiosity before.

"How did he respond?"

He said that he had a subsidy for food and clothing, and it was useless to hold the extra money, so it was better to implement the family philosophy. "

Idea?"

"Well, it's the idea. Aoi smiled and nodded, "I didn't really understand it at first...... It wasn't until later that Mr. Kurosawa mortgaged his knife and let me take a good look at it. With that

, Aoi leaned down and took a long knife from the shelf.

"Excuse me, can we take a look?" asked Ying, worried.

"Hmm...... Yes, but the action must be tapped. "

Thank you. Ying thanked him, and then slowly took the long knife from Aoi's hand.

Paimon leaned over at this point, and accompanied her to observe the long knife.

After a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the word "benevolence" is engraved on the sword.

Generally speaking, the words inscribed on the sword are the sword master's kendo.

Presumably, the word "benevolence and righteousness" must be the kendo of Kurosawa's ancestors.

"Ren...... Righteous ......" Ying silently recited again.

"That's right, it's benevolence and righteousness, don't you think that with these two words, this long knife will instantly become noble?" quipped.

"I seem to understand Kurosawa's approach. Ying hesitated for a moment and confirmed, "How much is this knife mortgaged?"

"Let me think about it." Aoi tilted her head slightly, pretending to think, "If you want it, it will be a lot of money, and we merchants will not do a loss-making business." "

Hey, we're asking for Kurosawa!" Paimon reminded.

"Hehe, don't worry, this knife is just a mortgage for me, and what I hope most is, of course, its owner to take it home. "

Well, now its owner has arrived. Aoi smiled and looked at the intersection not far away.

"Huh?" Ying and Paimon looked over in unison, only to see Kurosawa walking slowly.

"Is that you? Why did you come along......"

Kurosawa scratched his head, not knowing what to say next.

"Kurosawa, do you remember anything now?" said Ying.

"For a little bit, I vaguely remember that I was indeed Kurosawa, and left one at the grocery store.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurosawa stared at the long knife on the counter.

"Boss, how did you get this knife? "

What boss, you've been doing business with me for so long, and you don't even remember my name Aoi?" Aoi smiled bitterly, and continued: "I thought those were all rumors, but I didn't expect you to really forget a lot, Kurosawa, this knife was given to me by you yourself." "

My knife...... Yes, this is the ancestral knife in my family!" Kurosawa's heart raced, and he immediately grasped the hilt of the sword.

"I'm going to redeem

it now!" "Redeem it?" Do you still have Mora in your pocket now?" Aoi asked with a smile.

"This ......" Kurosawa pursed his lips, and his whole person was like a deflated balloon, no longer as excited as he had just now.

"Isn't it Mora, I have. Ying said as she reached out and took Mora from her skirt.

But just then, Aoi stopped her movements.

"Kurosawa, do you still have those IOUs?"

"Of course, it's all here.

Kurosawa searched for a moment in his backpack and quickly removed all the IOUs.

"Good. Aoi slowly took the IOU, then pushed the long knife forward.

"Now that the IOU has been returned, you are now the owner of the knife. "

But I didn't do anything, and you just gave it to me for free?" Kurosawa was surprised.

"Eh, why didn't you do anything, didn't I pocket all your savings for more than ten years?

Aoi smiled and explained, "During the months when the refugees poured in, you not only used your surplus money to buy food, but also took out most of your savings, and in order to provide food in time, our store used working capital and the proceeds from you to order a large amount of rice from Sumeru in advance.

"Originally, this was just a normal commercial purchase, but during this time, it happened that the Heavenly Leader was buying grain at a high price, so we sold that part of the rice to the Heavenly Leader at nine times the price without much effort.

"Now that the shogun has implemented a policy of locking the country, even if his peers want to follow suit, they will have to spend more manpower, material and financial resources than they did then.

"Therefore, it is precisely because of your kindness that our store has seized this business opportunity in time, and the income from this back and forth is enough to wipe out those IOUs."

After listening to Aoi's explanation, Kurosawa's mouth opened slightly, as if he couldn't believe all this.

"Don't worry, although we businessmen always put interests first, but this time, I am willing to 'lose' a little, after all, the 'benevolence' you practiced before has helped many people. Aoi comforted.

"Benevolence...... Help ......"

Kurosawa no longer hesitated, and held the long knife in his hand.

That is, the moment he touched the blade, his whole body trembled violently as if he was electrocuted.

"I remember, I remember everything!"

"This sword was my father's saber and his father's, his father's father's saber ......

" "According to him, our family is inherited under the name of 'samurai', so nothing but 'sword' can carry this honor and ideal.

Paimon subconsciously clapped his hands, "It feels like a knife with a lot of origin." "

yes, I can forget something so important!" Kurosawa tapped the back of his head, a look of remorse.

"When I was a child, I secretly took this knife out to show off to my friends, and when my dad found out, I was severely lectured. "

After teaching me, he told me a lot of big things, and then he also said that the most important philosophy of our family is...... What is it...... Damn, I don't seem to remember it again.

"It's obviously a very important thing, but I can't remember ...... anyway"

Seeing this scene, Ying immediately stepped forward and patted Kurosawa on the shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, because your Vision has been taken from you.

"Maybe. Kurosawa sighed, "But it's impossible for me to disobey the Shogun's will."

"Even if I don't have the Vision of God, I will definitely live a good life in the future, and I have a vague feeling that there is still room for a turning point in the Shogun's decision.

"Until then, I will continue to practice the 'benevolence' in my heart, and only this cannot be doubted. "

Because...... The happiness of others is what I desire, what I want......"

After saying that, Kurosawa put the long knife back on his body, and there was no longer the confusion of the past on his resolute face.
