Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Miyamoto Musashi cursed Emiya Shirou in his heart. He was only sixteen years old, yet he was already so cunning. He had tricked him many times before. What kind of person would he become when he grew up?

Alas!

I don't want to think about it anymore; I feel like I'm going to evolve into an ultimate cunning monster.

"But I can't go with you. I wouldn't even know how I got scammed!"

Miyamoto Musashi immediately and righteously refused Emiya Shirou's invitation, even though Emiya Shirou did not explicitly say that he intended to invite her to travel together.

"stay?"

"Dah!"

"Food?"

"Damn! You're testing me with this?"

"Swords and blades?"

"Tap—meh!"

Miyamoto Musashi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shook his head.

We mustn't let this devil tempt us!

There's hell ahead.

"We have wine!"

"Deal! Where to go next!"

Miyamoto Musashi slapped Emiya Shirou's hand hard. Freebies were her favorite thing.

"Westward—! That should be the location of Mount Tenggui. I want to find the Demon Slayer Corps to ask about the situation—"

Without hesitation, Shirou Emiya immediately shared his thoughts after Miyamoto Musashi agreed.

"Wait, I remember you said you also just transmigrated to this world a few days ago, so why do you seem so familiar with this world?"

Miyamoto Musashi expressed his doubt, and his deepest doubt.

"Oh, I've been to this world before, but I didn't stay long—"

This isn't a secret worth hiding, and it doesn't matter if I tell you.

"What is the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Miyamoto Musashi stood beside Emiya Shirou, asking him questions about the world as they headed in the direction he had initially chosen.

She was basically in a daze. If it weren't for the earlier playful fight with Shirou Emiya, she would have forgotten that she was in a completely unfamiliar world.

Of course, the most significant problem that gave her a headache was that this world was set hundreds of years ahead of the one she lived in, and its customs and other aspects of life were different from her own.

She could only be thankful that she met Shirou Emiya, who shared her plight and was familiar with this world, right away.

In this world, there exist beings called demons, which are almost equivalent to the monsters she knows, except that they are afraid of the sun and have a strong immortality. Some powerful demons can use blood demon magic.

Miyamoto Musashi had already grasped this point. The two sisters who weren't particularly strong but were extremely difficult to deal with had shown her what it meant to be troublesome without Nichirin Blade.

Of course, it was only a tricky situation. If he were really in a life-or-death crisis at that time, he might have deepened his understanding of the Dao of Emptiness and directly severed the cause and effect to eliminate those two evil spirits with one strike.

In this world, there is also an official organization dedicated to hunting demons—the Demon Slayer Corps, which Shirou Emiya joined.

As for why Shirou Emiya chose Fujikasayama first, instead of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Because Shirou Emiya had no idea where the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was; he had never been to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

After passing the assessment, Fujishiyama went directly to participate in the mission.

Moreover, after completing only the first mission, he was captured by an incredibly powerful evil spirit and taken to a room with infinite space.

It was only by good luck that they were able to escape from inside.

That moment was terrifying; a single misstep could have meant death.

However, along the way, there has never been a time when I wasn't on the brink of life and death.

Is it because there's something strange about it?

Miyamoto Musashi also sensed the abnormality of the current situation through Emiya Shirou's description.

It's very simple, because these evil spirits, like the spirits of the dead in her time, are beings that many ordinary people would never see even once in their entire lives.

One reason for this is that the number of ghosts is not large; compared to humans, they are insignificant.

On the other hand, the Demon Slayer Corps does everything in its power to exterminate demons.

There is only one ghost in almost every few villages.

In most cases, there is none at all; many people believe that evil spirits are just something to scare children.

And now, in just a few nights, Shirou Emiya has killed nearly a hundred demons, including several Lower Moon demons.

Many of these evil spirits even possess the ability to use blood demon magic.

If they hadn't encountered Shirou Emiya, they would have been an extremely terrifying force capable of slaughtering humanity.

Based on yesterday's battle, the leader of this squad should be Upper Moon One, Kokushibo.

According to the village chief, a war is currently taking place here, a war between humans and ghosts.

The fact that this battle was known to ordinary people demonstrates the immense scale of the war.

Shirou Emiya wants to figure out why a war suddenly broke out.

And, to destroy the evil spirits.

But upon closer reflection, we might not even need to concern ourselves with why the war broke out, because as long as all the evil spirits are slaughtered, the war will end.

Because there are no evil spirits, many people's lives are not threatened.

Chapter 847 Strange Things

"Qiang——!"

The crisp sound of steel clashing echoed.

That was the sound of swords clashing together.

In a courtyard covered in flowing blood, two figures wield swords and unleash slashes at each other.

"choke--!"

The melodious sound of swords echoed continuously.

"clang--!"

Swords clashed once more, their collisions amidst the lingering sword marks, producing a series of sounds.

The swords clashed.

Sparks were flying everywhere.

In the small courtyard, a thrilling battle is underway.

The two sides currently engaged in battle are none other than Miyamoto Musashi and Emiya Shirou.

"Clang—!"

The heavy clanging of steel was like thunder, shaking the air and swirling towards the earth, causing a strong wind to rise.

Both Shirou Emiya and Musashi Miyamoto were jolted, abruptly separated by the powerful force, and forced back, creating distance between them.

Just as Miyamoto Musashi was about to close in again, Emiya Shirou drew his katana as if re-sheathing it, aiming it at the oncoming Miyamoto Musashi.

"!!!"

An overwhelming sense of crisis enveloped her, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the twin swords.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

A golden crackling sound filled the space; it was lightning, it was thunder.

That was the Raikiri, which was virtually invincible within the intersection range. Even though it lost to Moroboshi Yudai, the Seven Star Sword King, it wasn't because of close-range combat, but because Moroboshi kept his distance and prevented it from effectively using its power.

This is a super electromagnetic sword-drawing technique that uses electromagnetic force to force the sword out of its sheath in one go. The speed is so fast that even the human eye cannot keep up with it.

All that could be seen was a glimmer of golden light.

“Raikiri——!”

The lightning instantly filled everything before Miyamoto Musashi's eyes, his pupils dilated, and in that final moment, he reacted, holding his long and short swords in front of him.

"Pfft——!"

A bright red line of blood immediately appeared on his abdomen, from which crimson blood splattered.

"Well--!"

An inexplicable pain surged through Miyamoto Musashi's entire body, causing him to let out a muffled sound from his throat.

He was cut in half at the waist.

In the next instant, the crimson bloodline disappeared, and all of Miyamoto Musashi's injuries were healed in the blink of an eye.

Subsequently, the surrounding courtyards were restored to their original state.

"Grandpa Muramasa! You're cheating! How come you even have superpowers?!"

Miyamoto Musashi suddenly turned around and swung the broken sword in his hand directly at Emiya Shirou's face.

"Snapped--!"

The sound of the knife hilt being caught steadily echoed under the night sky.

"You don't expect your enemies to always be legitimate swordsmen, do you? Even the demons we're encountering now, some of them possess powerful blood demon magic, so we must be careful."

"Just imagine, when you travel to other worlds in the future, you'll inevitably encounter some strange and unusual forces."

"There's one more thing, don't call me Grandpa Muramasa! I'm not that old!"

Emiya Shirou reluctantly responded to Miyamoto Musashi's reply. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, pure swordsmen, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of pure swordsmanship, are ultimately a minority in this world.

Even in terms of martial arts alone, the strongest he has ever encountered are only Edelweiss and Li Shuwen.
