I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 428 Everyone Shows Their Magical Powers

"Haha, I did it!"

A woman dressed in a high school girl uniform stood on the water and danced lightly and happily, which surprised the people on the shore.

"Is it really possible to walk on water?"

"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you."

Yukino Satsuki, dressed in women's clothing from the Warring States period, turned the barbecue grill and remarked:
"However, I didn't expect that you could master the snake bone so quickly."

"The flexibility of snake bones is no less than that of a demon. My brother is quite amazing, isn't he?"

On the other side, the handsome man with a long braid, giving a thumbs-up, had a sunny smile on his face. You would never guess that he was the leader of this mercenary group that killed without batting an eye. The man with the giant sword 'Savage Dragon' beside him was named: Savage Bone.

"That's really impressive."

“Even in my world, there are very few people who can master ‘treading water’ from scratch so quickly.”

Yukino Satsuki had to admit that these mercenaries were undoubtedly geniuses who could 'learn without a teacher' and master extraordinary powers.

“Your talents should not be wasted in this ‘small world’.”

"Whether we waste resources or not is up to us!"

The leader, Mangu, gave a cold smile.
"Yes, yes, I was just suggesting. The grilled meat will be ready soon—"

"Give me one, give me one!"

The once cold-faced Bankotsu immediately lost his composure, looking impatient, which made Yukino Satsuki roll her eyes.

Hey, Captain, where's your cool and aloof god-like image?

After getting to know them better, Yukino Satsuki discovered that these seven mercenaries, all named after 'Bone,' were surprisingly:
Easy to get along with!
Most of the time, the leader, Barbarian, is just a carefree big boy: although he is also carefree when he kills.

"It's just ordinary ingredients and some spices, yet they can cook up such delicious food; and the techniques used to wield these powers are unheard of; I can't think of any other explanation except that they come from another world."

A handsome monk-like figure named 'Bone Refiner' walked over.

He was the intellectual leader of the group of seven, yet even he was completely clueless when faced with knowledge from another world.

"If I had had time to prepare, I should be able to produce more evidence: unfortunately, our principal—"

They weren't given any time to prepare at all!

Even though Yukino Satsuki comes from an elite family, she only has a vague understanding of the inside story.

It must be even more difficult for others, right?

Do not,
Those truly distinguished scions should have been prepared.

"Is your 'principal' strong?"

On the other side, 'Sleepy Bone', wearing two metal claws, walked over and waved his hand.

The grilled meat, fresh off the rack, was instantly cut into eight pieces.

It fell onto the prepared plate.

Yukino Satsuki glanced at the sleeping ghost, her expression indescribably eerie.

"Stronger than you can imagine,"

"Stronger than me?"

At this point, the girl could no longer maintain her composure.

"Although it may be a bit rude to say it like this, Sleepy Bones, in our area, you would probably be considered a strong wolf."

"And that principal, according to the official description, is at the level of a powerful dragon."

"Huh, they all sound pretty much the same?"

The big, clumsy guy with the "fierce bones" also came over. For a three-meter-tall giant like him, the smell of the grilled meat was barely noticeable. As for strength... well, this brute-force wolf-level fighter was at the bottom of the group of seven: he couldn't beat anyone.

“In our world, the extraordinary beings—that is, beings like you who surpass ordinary people—are divided into five levels: dogs, wolves, tigers, ghosts, and dragons.”

As for the gods above them, the government has not mentioned them, and no one will seriously consider whether Inari God has any divine status.

That being's divine duty is fertility, which has nothing to do with combat, and doesn't concern themselves with fighting strength or anything like that.

Watch out, you might turn into a tree!

"Each level is further divided into three sub-levels: weak, medium, and strong, therefore..."

The meaning of "Snowy May" is very clear: completely different!
"I don't believe it,"

Wearing a white robe, he removed the white cloth from his face, revealing a face that somewhat resembled a frog, or rather, a toad, and spoke up to refute.

"Even those infamous demons are not without our strength."

Those 'great demons' you're talking about, they're probably only at the tiger level, right?
Of course, Yukino Satsuki didn't say these words aloud.

"To put it another way, our principal once fought against another formidable enemy, leaving a sword mark ten thousand meters long in our city."

"How much is 10,000 meters? Roughly from here to the mountains at the end of your field of vision over there—"

He pointed out the distance to the several extraordinary mercenaries.

"A canal was carved out."

???

"May, are you sure you're not telling a myth?"

Walking back from the nearby stream, the woman named 'Snake Bone'—no, it was a man dressed in a female high school uniform—couldn't help but ask.

He is a man, but he likes women's clothing and also likes men; he is a typical example of a mismatch between 'soul and body': every move and expression is full of femininity.

If she hadn't noticed something was off while changing clothes, Yukino Satsuki would have thought she was an 'older sister'.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me—"

"I believe."

The leader, 'Barbarian Bones,' who was gnawing on roasted meat, suddenly spoke.
"why?"

The person next to him, 'Bone Refiner', subconsciously asked a question, but immediately realized that he had said something pointless.

"intuition!"

As expected, that was the answer, X6.
The other mercenaries, including the silent, half-human, half-machine giant 'Silverbone', all had the same thought.

Their leader was actually a reckless, straightforward person who acted on instinct.

"In May, your family became very powerful?"

"It's alright,"

The girl was being modest. Having secured a spot in the 'experiment' and received advance warning, her family was undoubtedly wealthy. However, they were still quite a distance from the elite; but with their help, she could immediately leap to the next level.

"So, you want to hire us?"

"Correct."

Having gone to so much trouble—cooking, delivering clothes, and explaining cultivation techniques—Yukino Satsuki's purpose was very clear.

There's no need to hide it.

"Money, status, food, women."

"With your abilities, you could obtain even more in our world!"

After all, the enjoyment one experiences in this world can only be described as a tragedy.

"Your confidence stems from the fact that you can disappear into thin air when you are about to suffer a fatal injury."

After wiping his mouth, Mangu strode towards the girl.

"You want us to risk our lives for you?"

"You're not qualified!"

Did the talks break down?

Just as Yukino Satsuki was waiting for the 'teleportation', the man coming towards her handed her the menu.

"But the grilled meat is good, I'll have another serving."

There are no more ingredients.

With a whoosh, the snake-bone hand beside him waved, and the 'snake-bone knife' in his hand flew out and fell into the river.

"Hehe~~ Here it is, isn't it?"

The long sword was sheathed, with a large fish threaded through it.

"Okay, let's have grilled fish for dinner."

"No, I want to eat it now—"

Seeing the utterly devastated Barbarian, the girl couldn't help but look up at the sky again.

Are all strong people this free-spirited?
As the leader of this team, Yukino Satsuki estimated that 'Bankotsu' had the strength of a tiger.

In the Warring States period, such a person would be a powerful figure who could "commonly ride a thousand men alone, and become invincible with just wine."

Perhaps those 'great demons' are even stronger? But it doesn't matter, as long as we can win over these 'simple' people in front of us, that's enough.

Although they were ruthless killers, they were actually quite 'simple-minded' in terms of their thoughts.

Mercenaries who do things for money.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

With some actively courting those in power, others naturally flock to those in authority.

boom!
Amidst the billowing smoke, a bullet whistled through the 'great armor'—a complex of leather and iron plates—and embedded itself heavily into the test dummy.

"Master, penetrate the armor with your strength."

Sitting in the testing ground, the 'big name' listened to the whispered report, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

This weapon is no less powerful than that of a trained archer, but all you need to do is raise it, aim, and pull the trigger. It's so simple, wouldn't it be easy to quickly arm all the foot soldiers in the army into ranged units?
"Where is Tomoyuki Morikawa?"

"Little is here!"

A young man dressed in plain hunting clothes, with a fair complexion and no beard, stepped forward decisively and immediately knelt down.

"You have rendered meritorious service by presenting the method of 'firearms,' what reward do you desire?"

"Your Excellency, this is a humble method, and I dare not ask for any reward."

"I only wish to serve the Takeda clan; I would die without regret!"

The young man's words were firm and resounding, and his demeanor and bearing greatly impressed the daimyo of this land: the head of the Takeda family.

"it is good!"

"Therefore, you will serve under me as the General of Arquebusiers!"

This weapon was originally offered by the other party, and its usage method must only be known and mastered by this person.

"If there are any merits, the rewards will be generous—I, Takeda Nobumasa, am not a foolish master."

"Thank you, Patriarch Xie!"

The young man readily accepted the offer and immediately changed his tune.

This quick wit made Daming nod in satisfaction once again.

"Hearing that you've traveled here, you might as well stay near my castle tower: Go and prepare a room for Tomoyuki."

"Your subordinate will do everything in your power for the Takeda clan, without hesitation!"

The young man raised his head, revealing a slightly immature yet very lively face.

Without a doubt, he was also a student who 'traveled' from another time.

And his special skill is—

"I never thought that my everyday handmade toys would come in handy."

Following the 'junior' in front of him, walking among the buildings below the castle tower, the student named 'Tomoyuki Morikawa' couldn't help but smile.

He enjoys making various gun models: as the saying goes, "from plastic to iron, from glue to welding, you'll eat prison food three times a day." This kind of craftsmanship expert can make guns by hand in no time if he wants to: even though in their world, firearms have been relegated to "inferior weapons."

Luckily, I ended up traveling directly to the vicinity of a town.

After understanding the situation,
He stole a set of clothes and then exchanged his own jewelry for some money.

Then he found a disgruntled samurai, and with a few flattering words and some wine, he got an opportunity to 'meet' him.

After making a pledge to the 'daimyo' and gathering craftsmen, he drew up blueprints, sculpted molds, and quickly created an ancient 'matchlock gun'.

This world appears to be in the Warring States period, but it has not developed firearms; instead, it has legends of various extraordinary knives, and even the warriors have treasured swords that can "cut iron like mud".

This gave him a stepping stone: it wasn't difficult to make a simple 'matchlock gun'.

That daimyo of the Takeda clan truly lived up to his reputation for brilliance.
The advantages of this weapon were immediately apparent!

Next comes mass production and the formation of arquebusiers: they may not be able to deal with those high-ranking samurai, but low-ranking samurai and foot soldiers are definitely no match for the arquebusiers: if he wanted to, he could even make smoothbore cannons.

There are many monsters in this world, but most of them are not very strong: if they were strong, they wouldn't have left behind so many eyewitnesses.

I believe that firearms will soon change the world's landscape, and he will rise through the ranks in the Takeda family!

Precious swords, even extraordinary blades, and the 'techniques' and 'swordsmanship' of those warriors,
These are all his goals—

"My lord, please."

The young man who had led the way opened the door and respectfully invited Morikawa Tomoyuki into the house.

These servants, who served the master of the household, were adept at reading people's expressions and demeanor: the young man before them, who was not much older than them, was about to rise to prominence, so they naturally had to treat him with respect.

"Um,"

Stepping into the wooden house before me,
It was empty and had nothing to do with 'luxury', but Tomoyuki Morikawa was full of ambition.

This is just the beginning. One day, he too will be able to 'conquer the world with martial arts'. But that's all in the future. Right now:
"you are?"

"Little girl Aju,"

The room was not empty; a young girl was kneeling in the room.

"From now on, I will serve you, sir."

Not bad, not bad~~
They're giving away houses and women.

If I'm not going back anyway, what's wrong with serving the Takeda family?
"My lord, this bottle of wine is called 'Jiangchuan Wine,' a fine wine bestowed upon us by the head of the family."

The girl looked up and gestured slightly with her eyes to the table beside her, where a small bottle of liquor sat; as if afraid Morikawa Tomoyuki wouldn't know its value, the girl explained:

"This is a drink reserved for samurai,"

"It is said to increase strength."

He strode forward, scooped up the wine, and took a sniff.

Such a rich spiritual energy!

"Good, good, good!"

That head of the Takeda family is really something.

It wouldn't hurt to help him this once.

The boy named Morikawa Tomoyuki smiled as his gaze fell on the girl who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Get up."

With fine wine in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other, what follows is naturally:

Snapped,

The slow dimming of the mirror in front of her made Nao turn her head to look at the principal, Yu, behind the desk.
