「Demon Lord」King Oni Sengo

Chapter 3: A New Problem

It had been a few days since I killed Oda Nobunaga, in those days I was still looking for information that could help me with this problem of disorder of wanting to kill my family, after the guilt of the deaths of my brothers, several voices were heard in my head to kill my family when I felt bad emotionally, I had to escape from the castle because I was getting those wishes, if it wasn't for Nobunaga's help I would surely have killed someone.

Spending my time searching, I found some information that can help me a little with the disorder I have because of the curses that corrupt my being.

But it's more of a problem, he says that I can separate him into personality, but I'll have a headache if I can have a voice speaking my head, but there's also consequence; That I can create my own supernatural powers, this is still just as problematic, but it may calm that repulsive desire to kill my family, and that's something I have to do to control myself better.

For now, I'll go and relax in the courtyard of the castle.

—Castle Lake. —

—Mhm?

Sengo watched Tomoe in a seiza near him, smiling at him with emotion. While he ate the lunch that was prepared by her.

"I don't understand why he's happy to try his food... I had scarcely left the library to think clearly about my actions, and I met her by chance on the way to the lake where she told me to eat the bento, she made for me."

—Mhm!

Sengo had finished lunch. While Tomoe waited for a comment from Sengo.

Sengo watched Tomoe's expressions. —The bento is very good, and I also apologize for what happened last night, I let myself be carried away by my emotions.

He said with a hint of regret, as he watched as Tomoe was happily moved by his comment about the bento, but then told him not to worry about it.

Making him laugh a little at Seng's exaggerated actions for his concerns.

"Ha, seriously, she's amazing, she's more mature than me and she also surprises me with the other one, a year and she's perfected all of Raikou's teaching. Seriously, Tomoe is a genius, she has learned from all of us... The youngest of us all... Espionage, Assassin, Warrior, Archer, Blacksmith, Sumo, Samurai, Ninja, Spearman, and Meditation... Even if everything she's learned is a basic level, if she keeps learning more and more... He would become one to be feared in the future. At only 5 years old she has learned all the basics, at 12 years old she has surely already mastered the intermediate level and at 16-18, she would already be an expert in all the branches that she has taken from us."

—An interesting growth to watch.

—You said something, Sengo-nii!

Sengo froze, Tomoe's sudden voice of happiness as he smiled.

"Agh, everything I thought I said out loud... I have to be careful next time."

"Just thinking because you cooked something for me. Maybe it doesn't matter if he doesn't answer me, I have to go to the library.

"And see what to do next, I'll be in this place for a few years..."

—Ah... that... I just wanted to know... If I've already improved my kitchen... by... T-T-... I don't think it matters much Sengo-nii.

—Heh, heh, if it's to improve your kitchen that's fine. See you Tomoe. —He said as he stroked Tomoe's head and started to leave, leaving a melancholy Tomoe.

—Ah... Yes... See you... Sengo-nii…—he said subtly as he stroked her head where Sengo had caressed it.

—That way, he's never going to fall in love with you.

—Ah!

A sudden hand touching her shoulder and the female voice from behind surprised her, almost startling her.

He looked back to see the person smiling at him.

—And how are you doing? — He greeted while smiling.

—Nobu-nee... You almost frightened me by your sudden appearance.

—Ha, ha, ha! Sorry, sorry! —as he made a sudden apology to Tomoe.

Oda Nobunaga, Tomoe Gozen's older sister by 5 years. It also teaches you basic things about strategy and warfare. She and her brother Sengo tell him that having information in the face of a war is a better option to carry the enemy in the palms of your hand and then destroy them.

But I don't think you're going to see a war in our father's territory... Or maybe it does.

—Okay, and it's bringing you here. — I asked my sister gently, it's very rare to see her in this part of the castle. He's always practicing with the rifle Sengo-nii made to hunt some small animals with our older brothers in the nearby forest outside the castle.

—Obviously! You're welcome!

—Huh?

I was amazed by her answer, she always says things when she lifts.

—Mhm? — Did something happen to your gun?

I looked at the gun in his hand, and I see that it broke in half.

—You see, I made a little mistake when I fell and elbowed the rifle on the floor.

—...

What must have happened.

"You must have heard what he said, Sengo-nii. He went to the library. I said, pointing to the path our brother had taken.

She nodded and started to leave. —One more thing, Tomoe. She stopped to say something to me.

—Tell me?

—I don't think our brother is interested in love. —She replied and started to leave.

... I know, Sengo-nii has never shown any particular interest in love.

I have no idea why he spends his time reading books in the library. Since the day I have been conscious, I have always seen Sengo-nii reading in the library.

I have no idea what you're looking for.

—I'll think about that another day.

I have to go to Chiyome-nee and Katō-nee to continue learning things about murder and espionage.

—Library. —

Sounds of swords!

Sengo and Oda watched each other inches away as they used their katanas to slit their throats. Sengo brought his katana closer to Oda's neck.

—I told you it wasn't my fault that you lost the war.

—Hmph, I'll believe you, but my katana doesn't!

Oda rested his other arm in the center of the katana to push Sengo next to his katana.

They ended up falling the two to the ground, causing Sengo to take advantage quickly by removing Oda's katana by throwing him away from them, he also threw his katana to hold Oda with his arms to prevent him from escaping while he made a chokehold.

A few moments later Oda raised his arm and slammed on the floor.

—Agh... I give up... I give up!

He spoke with difficulty, short of breath.

Sengo watched as tears began to flow down from Oda's eyes, causing him to put down the key he had made.

Oda began coughing as he restored oxygen to his lungs. —Damn you almost killed me.

—But I didn't.

—Tch, seriously you... It doesn't matter anymore. It looks like you have your memories.

—From the day I was born, Oda Nobunaga [The Fool of Owari]. He smiles, amused by Nobunaga's nickname.

This made him a little irritated.

—It's okay whatever you want to call me, but that smile irritates me.

—Okay... But there's something important to talk about. I never knew you in my past life.

—Yes, you are the same image I saw before I died that day. But it also confirms the hypothesis that all of us retrieve memories of our past life at some point. —Nobunaga said.

—Yes, first it was Sasaki Kojiro, then Okita Souji, Minamoto no Raikou and it continues one by one, it seems that there is a magic in our soul that will make us recover our memories in a predetermined time.

—But still, this world is interesting who would think that a world like this [Little Garden] existed. — Nobunaga smiled wildly. —By the way, I need you to fix my firearm or make a new one for me.

Sengo just nodded looking at the rifle. He thought he could fix it; it wasn't a sword so nothing would happen because of his curse that resurfaced.

—You cut it in half, maybe it hit your chest.

Blow to the head!

—Ouch.

—I'm developing, this time my body will grow better.

—... If you say so.

Another hit!

—Okay, okay. This time you will have a voluptuous body capable of warming up any man and even ordering them to do anything like simple animals.

—Hey, don't make fun of it! If I don't get that body, I'll marry you!

—Do what you want, in this life you are free to do anything you have always wanted.

—You! ... You're right, now that I think about it, I can live a life the way I like without worrying about my gender. Thanks for reminding me, Muramasa.

—Just call me Sengo, that's my new name, isn't it? Nobu.

She said with a smile, as she watched Nobunaga talk about how she would live her life the way she liked.

—Huh? ... you're all right, Sengo.

—Ha, ha, ha! I'm fine, just waiting to see how you'll live that life as you like.

—I'm glad you asked that, after I fix the rifle, we're off to the river near the castle to take a few dips with all our brothers!

—Hai, hai, by the way, thank you for killing me, seriously this disorder is more problematic.

—Don't worry, I'll take care of stopping you every time you lose your sanity, now let's have fun.

"Seriously, it's going to make trouble if she relaxes too much and takes me anywhere to have fun..."

"Well, I might also have a little fun in these years, before I go away and look for a solution to my problem by traveling all over Little Garden, although I have to think about whether separating it into another personality is a good idea."

Sengo and Nobunaga began to walk away while laughing and sometimes with Sengo complaining from time to time in their chat.

—Three days later. —

10:00 A.M

—Sengo's Forge. —

I was in my forge quietly enjoying my peace forging several katanas, I had decided to stop going to the library for now, I had already absorbed a lot of information from several books I have read, so I went back to my blacksmith trade, although I had forged few weapons since I had done this again, I have also learned to control my curse in my creations it may be a help from Gaia, Maybe I can thank her just this once.

Since it was very naïve of me to have thought that that curse had already been removed from my [Origin], but anyone can trust once dead and think that everything from your past was gone with death.

By now I had forged a few weapons that some of my brothers were asking for.

Even though I've forged very few times, I'm happy that I didn't lose the touch of my blacksmithing, after all I was distracted by looking for information.

Cash! Cash!

—Haaah, I guess you're always going to see things that can never be erased by anything in the world. A curse that belongs to my legend haunts me through the world.

The only thing I can do is continue this curse as I always did in my previous life.

And now I have more curses that don't belong to me, seriously everything is problematic.

I suppose Senji Muramasa wouldn't exist without a curse.

Cash! Cash!

I kept forging to distract my mind, as I was tired of curses.

Cash! Cash!

Cash! Cash!

» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «

—How's Sengo-sama!?

A beautiful blue-haired maiden with a slender body had greeted me with a smile as I entered my father's castle. I had come out of the forge a few minutes ago as I meditated on my new life for the thousandth time.

After all, I died and came back to life, I feel that instead of moving forward I am still stuck in the same point.

I think I should stop meditating for a moment on my problem and enjoy my childhood as I never did in my past life, my love for blacksmithing took away my childhood time, but I can't say that I didn't care, maybe something inside me was frustrated by not enjoying that valuable time in feudal Japan.

I decided to greet the maid with a smile and continue marching to my destination that I had predicted.

—Kitchen room. —

You could hear all the noise in the kitchen, the cooks were already preparing the afternoon dinner in advance while talking about the meal they want to make today. I don't have much particular interest in today's dinner, I just came to make some quick onigiri to fill my stomach a bit.

Doing physical and mental work to forge a good weapon ends up accumulating stress throughout my body. Although the mental one is because of the problem of the curse he had gotten, but for everything else he is fine.

As I walked calmly in the kitchen and made my way quickly to the place, I was going to make the onigiris, I felt someone stop me holding my shoulder a little tightly.

—You should know that dinner isn't done yet, little brother.

A sweet soft voice that reached my ears with a little hint of reprimand was heard behind me.

—Ha, ha, ha, I know Raikou-nee-san. —I laughed nervously at my older sister's soft voice as she answered her. —I only came here to make some simple onigiri to fill my stomach a little, since I was in my forge doing simple work to continue training the muscles of my body, after all a toned body is not achieved by asking God.

As I said that stupidity, I glanced sideways at my older sister.

A beautiful girl with long violet hair, with a reassuring and angelic face with a beautiful smile to go with her, makes your heart soothe as she is dressed in a pretty maiden outfit made to her small body.

That same girl with a beautiful face, has some expressions of wanting to scold me for sneaking into the kitchen.

—If that's why, you can safely ask a cook to make it for you.

She said with a small tone of anger. Even if she gets angry, her pretty face doesn't help him much to intimidate someone, the only thing he gives is a calming feeling for whoever sees him.

—Mhm, but I see they're all too busy to make dinner later, so I decided to come and do it myself.

—But there's always going to be someone who can do it.

—Even if that's true Raikou-nee-san, I don't think I should give you more work for a few simple onigiri than a little guy like me can, after everyone they're cooking dinner for the whole family of King Oni and his children, right, Raikou-nee-san?

—T-that... You may be right.

My sister replied with a thoughtful face until she spoke again.

—Well, stay here, I'll make the onigiri for you quickly.

—Wait-...

I couldn't finish talking because my sister had hurried into the kitchen to make the onigiri I wanted to make.

I sighed as I thought about how strange my sister is.

She is very fond of domestic things, although she is also adept at martial arts and bowing.

Mhm, I guess all of us are strangers in some particular thing, although some of us have recovered our memory of our adulthood, it seems that they decided to act like children according to their age, something that I also did the truth.

After several seconds, my sister came with a tray where there are 6 onigiri.

Mhm... Yes, they are enough for my little stomach.

—Here's a little brother.

—Thank you, Raikou-nee-san.

We said a cordial farewell as we each went our separate ways.

For my part, I left the kitchen while Raikou returned to the kitchen to continue with later dinner.

I moved far enough away not to hear the noise of the kitchen and quietly ate the onigiri until suddenly I heard the footsteps of someone behind me and they stopped a few inches from my back.

—Hello! Sengo-otuoto! Those are onigiri, can you give me some!

A high-pitched, energetic voice rushed to my back as I watched the onigiri I'm about to eat.

—Calm down, Okita-nee.

Okita Souji, the older sister of all of us, was behind me, drooling over eating the onigiri that Raikou had made.

She is a young girl with short blonde hair with a black bow behind her hair and having a strand pointing in the air, wearing her battle clothes as she says.

Even though her suit is very short, she still says it's okay since she has a small pair of shorts that protect her from underneath.

But it's still very short.

—I'll give you 2 onigiri and calm down.

—Three and I don't go down!

—Ugh... (I'm going to eat very little) Okey 3 but you're calmed down.

—Yes!

So, my dinner was reduced to three onigiri by Okita-nee's "help."

» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «

—Muahaha! The onigiri are delicious!

—Raikou-nee made them.

We ended up arriving on a balcony to enjoy the onigiri while looking at the cherry trees in the castle courtyard.

Although I wouldn't have minded eating in the lower part, but because of the Okita-nee scandals we ended up here.

I must say it feels very relaxing to be here while eating the onigiri.

Seeing a beautiful landscape such as the cherry trees while feeling the rays of the soothing sun that makes your body more tired while you enjoy eating something and drinking something refreshing that goes down your throat refreshing the inside of your body.

It makes a wonderful feeling of relaxation and refreshing your whole body to a good level.

—Aah, they're over.

I ended up coming back to earth because of what Okita-nee said. And she was right, no more onigiri, it seems that my mind traveled too much because my onigiri had already finished it too without realizing it.

—Well, I really enjoyed eating those onigiri.

Okita-nee said with a smile at the end.

She was right about that; I also enjoyed the onigiri very much.

Haah, well it's over, everything will always come to an end like it was with the onigiri.

—I'm going to leave the tray in the kitchen, I'll see you Okita-nee.

—See you otouto!"

We waved our hands in farewell. With that done, I started to leave the balcony where we were and go to the kitchen.

It's been 30 minutes since I came out of my forge for a quick bite to eat.

I guess I'll put down the tray and go to the library.

Or am I going to do something else?

—Library. —

I ended up coming to the library and grabbing several books that talked about the Norse pantheon, I might find a lot of interesting things as I have read in the other pantheon books.

There are always a lot of interesting things that you learn in mythologies or other books.

So, I'll be reading these books until dinner time.

•

Thor's hammer... It sounds interesting to know what it was forged from.

12:30 A.M

—Hallways to the library. —

I'm walking to the library. A maid had observed Sengo-nii heading there, dinner is only a few minutes away and no one can be disrespectful when dinner is served, so I came quickly to this corridor to call and quickly drag Sengo-nii away when there are already 5 minutes left.

As I ran quickly and already staring at the large door of the library, I boisterously forced my way in so that my brother would stop reading about whatever he was reading and thus quickly gain his attention.

—Mhm?" What's up Tomoe?

My brother said with a clueless face.

—What you ask! It's 5 minutes until dinner!

I ended up yelling at him because of the short time left to get to the dining room, at this moment the servants are bringing the food to the table, so we have to hurry quickly.

—Shit!

I end by talking with my eyes open about the big surprise of the minutes that are left.

Just as I was about to speak, my brother took my hand and put me in bridal style and began to run as fast as he could, coming close to the dining room where the servants were still carrying the food.

It took him two minutes to get to this place as he quickly turned the corridors leading to the dining room.

—Uff, we arrived in record time.

I ended up nodding at what my brother said.

So, we started to go in and I saw all our siblings sitting in their respective seats.

At the other end of the table, a large, muscular man who was 2 meters tall and had albino hair was looking at Sengo-nii and me seriously.

He's, our father.

—About three more minutes and they were late, you know?

Our father said.

—That's why we got there three minutes early, right?

Sengo-nii said mockingly at our father.

—Ha, ha, ha, ha!

All of our siblings and myself were laughed at Sengo-nii's mocking response to our father.

—Tsk, it's okay to let it go for this time, there won't be a next one where you forgive them for this.

We nodded to what our father said and began to sit in our respective seats as the tables filled with the few remaining dishes.

When the table was full, we all talked.

—Itadakimasu!

—Sengo's Forge. —

I had decided to create the other personality so that I wouldn't have those emotions of killing my family, but there was something weird about doing it...

I was at this moment falling from the atmosphere to the precipice of the earth, I was falling at an incredible speed when suddenly my whole body began to burn from the speed I was falling.

After a long time already arriving at a large cylinder-shaped mountain, up in the atmosphere another mountain just like the one below appeared, falling very fast to me.

I stared at the big pillar of hardened earth slowly coming up my body to crush me next to the big pillar below, after all I don't have the control of my body to be able to do anything in this situation where I'm going to die.

I had already tried to control my body several minutes ago to do something... but I failed.

The only thing I can do right now is just watch the big pillar already being close to crushing me.

Colossal noise!

—AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

I ended up screaming in pain in a heart-wrenching voice until my voice was no longer heard.

The reason...

My body was destroyed in pieces by the collision of the two pillars that crushed me fiercely.

It was the first time I could feel a very fierce pain in my body being destroyed into pieces.

I think I should be dead right now, but I can still think about all the pain I've felt and feel my body being crushed by the two pillars.

Until suddenly, an unimaginable situation had reappeared.

I found myself falling back from the atmosphere with my whole body rebuilt and healed.

But I can still feel a strong pain that made my bones and organs scream in desperation for the pain to end quickly.

As it had happened before, when I reached a large pillar, another appeared in the atmosphere and fell to me.

Just to observe and feel back the pain of my body being crushed.

And the cycle ended up repeating itself again.

Will this ever end?

That's what I could think when my body was destroyed again.

•

•

•

It had already passed, I think several hours, and I was still in this repetitive cycle of my body falling and being crushed.

After 2 hours I stop caring about the pain of my shattered body. I didn't care anymore about the thousands of times my body was destroyed, the only thing that is...

I want this to end.

•

•

•

I don't know how long this has been going on...

But something ends up happening that I had never imagined would happen to me.

My mind and heart ended up breaking.

Because I had decided to stop caring about pain, I had begun to lose several emotions.

And then came my other mistake, I had decided not to take that seriously and when I finally realized it was too late.

But I was a little lucky to have lost only 80% of my emotions, as long as I have 20%, I can get my emotions back in a few years.

The only thing I can do is resist without losing that 20%.

•

•

•

Fail...

20% of my emotions were reduced by only 10%.

I don't know how many hours or days have passed since I arrived at this place.

But if this still continues, I will completely lose my emotions and that is a bad thing for me.

I had decided to enjoy my childhood in this new life so that after I had decided that something bad would happen to me.

I don't understand why this would be happening to me, but if my [Destiny] is to suffer in my new life, I will have to remove it to leave it in [Void]...

But I can't do it in my current situation when my body isn't a god to use Tsumukari Muramasa.

I'll only die the moment I use it.

I'll only die the moment I use it.

The only thing left is to endure it until the day I can eliminate my [Fate].

—Sengo's room. —

Sengo could be seen in his bedroom sleeping peacefully.

His small body is in a pale color as he gave choked cries of pain with his arms crossing his entire chest and his hands gripping his shoulders tightly.

This event had already been observed for 4 days.

He hadn't woken up since his older brother Kojiro had found him unconscious in his forge.

He had come to kindly ask his little brother to make him a good katana.

But no one had answered when he knocked on the door to let him know that someone had arrived.

All he did was enter the forge and be surprised to see his little brother lying unconscious next to an incredible dark katana that couldn't feel anything good coming from the weapon.

He quickly pulled Sengo away from the gun when suddenly his entire body felt heavy, and he ended up falling to the floor on his knees with his brain dizzy.

He forced his body to get up and carry his little brother out of the forge.

By luck a maid was nearby cleaning the hallway, she ended up calling her and told her that her little brother was unconscious.

And he ended up collapsing.

What happened after that I didn't know anymore.

He had visited his little brother every day every hour to see how he was doing... Until he started screaming in pain and hugging himself as if his whole body hurt on a level he couldn't imagine.

He quickly alerted the maids that he knew he had some knowledge of natural medicine so that they could make him a painkiller for Sengo.

Even if they did, I still screamed in pain.

No one knew what was going on with Sengo.

So, they ended up doing some strong sedatives to calm him down.

Even if it worked, he still cried out in pain.

Each brother visited Sengo regularly, and when they observed that he began to scream loudly in pain, they injected him with the sedative.

To reassure him.

—Sixth day. —

I don't know how many days passed, but I ended up waking up from all that suffering.

I started to look at my body and I see that it's in a pale color, I can even see how my body is a little thin.

I guess it had been a few days since I ended up unconscious because of the small lack of weight that my body has had.

I got out of bed to walk to a wooden desk and start opening a drawer where I had kept a small mirror to see my face.

I ended up being a little surprised, it wasn't because my face looked like the walking dead but because of my eyes.

Being born into a race like Oni, the pupils of my eyes are fine.

But around them...

It was accompanied by other thin circular pupils, two to be exact.

Haah, these are crazy now.

I ended up putting my hand to my head.

... Now I have strange eyes, and the most problematic thing is that my eyes are dead.

Mhm?

Suddenly I heard the sound of the door opening and saw Nobunaga quietly entering my room until he suddenly changed to a face of surprise at seeing me up.

He ended up running and lunging at me. And thanks to the fall, my brain started to get dizzy and see the whole place exorbitant until I recovered in a few seconds.

I began to look angrily at Nobunaga's stupidity for doing that.

—There was no need to do that, brat.

...

Hey?

At the moment of expressing my anger, I could perfectly hear my voice that did not show any particular emotion.

This, too, ended up surprising Nobunaga.

—Your voice... —Her eyes widened when she saw mine, which are dead from the glow she once saw. —Even your eyes, all of them are empty, what happened to you Sengo?"

I can understand what happened to me, but I have no idea how to explain it to her.

Is it right to tell him that I was crushed by two great pillars of hardened earth to shreds thousands of times?

Or should I just lie to her and the other people who asked me about the same case?

—I remember being crushed by two large pillars of hardened earth many times for hours or days, I felt perfectly the pain of my whole body being destroyed thousands of times when I had begun to lose my sanity as to whether this would ever end. When I felt that almost a week had passed, my whole being began to crack, I completely lost the pain of my destroyed body and also the emotions I once had... And as you can see... I'm empty.

I decided to speak the truth of what happened to me so I wouldn't go between branches and make this problem bigger for the people who care about me.

After all, it's just a small problem that can be solved over time.

—Another day. —

—Tits or ass!?

I was reading books that have data about beings that go with darkness and nightmares, until my older brother, Raiden Tameemon, came and ended up asking me something nonsense.

—What the are you talking about?

Although my voice is now empty of emotions, my brothers took it in stride understanding my situation.

—I'll emphasize it better, which do you prefer, tits or ass?!

—You'd better shut up and get the hell out of here if you're going to ask stupid questions.

—Come on, Sengo! You're a man, you must have a particular taste in women!

—Be calm and not possessive, that's enough for me, I don't want a woman who wants to kill you just for talking to another woman for a few minutes.

—... I think you're right about that, but it still doesn't answer my question, boobs, or asses?

—Raiden, even though you've turned 12 these days that I've been in a coma, I don't think you should be asking that.

—Come on, Sengo! Don't be a killjoy for it! Every kid this age already thinks about that!

—I'm going to think you're right about that, but why would you ask that to a 5-year-old?

—Even if you say you're 5 years old! Your behavior and intellectual intelligence, it's almost like a teenager reaching adulthood!" That's why I'm asking you what your taste is!

—Haah, for God's sake... Breathe... optional... That I don't mo-...

(How!?)

—Optional!? Are you a necrophiliac!

(Oh!? That's true, Dad!?)

—Of course not, you really have to ask stupid questions, the two of you, optionally that it doesn't bother me for life.

—Hey! Which two!? If it's just us!

If you only knew...

—Haah, you better go and ask our elder brother Kojiro the same question.

—But if he rejected the idea of marrying Okita-nee and focusing on his training to be a better swordsman, I'd be happy to ask him.

—Then ask any soldier in our father's army, they will surely answer you truthfully on that subject.

—You're right! See you Sengo!

We said goodbye, he went to continue asking stupid questions to our father's vassals.

—Seriously, you're annoying questions.

(But you still never answered him of your preference!)

You're going to ask stupid questions, too.

(I'm just saying! But...!)

You know what, I'll let you die.

(No, no, no! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I won't try to ask about your tastes from a woman's rear!)

... I think I'll let you die.

At that moment Sengo began to pull something out of the inside of his chest, where a small part of a dark sphere began to protrude with small reddish black rays around it, the small rays began to attack Sengo's hands to stop him from taking the sphere out of Sengo's body.

Meanwhile, Nightmare began to cry loudly inside Sengo.

(Wuaaa! My mistake! Forgive me, Dad! I don't reveal things about your tastes anymore! Wuaaa! Please forgive me!)

Sengo didn't care about what Nightmare said and continued until he had half the sphere out of his chest.

Causing Nightmare to freak out and cry.

Meanwhile, Sengo only heard Nightmare's crying, who didn't notice that he had stopped with the sphere halfway through.

(I'm sorry... What... Coming... with mama coco.)

Sengo only listened to nonsensical things from Nightmare.

What are you talking about, you piece of gil.

(I think... That I went to hell... I just listened to my father... Tell me gil.)

You're still here, little brat.

(Wuaaa! Seriously Daddy's a bastard! Wuaaa!)

That's me, Senji Muramasa "The Cursed Blacksmith" nice to meet your silly girl.

(Wuaaa! You're a piece of trash, Dad! Wuaaa!)

Now, now, calm down, I'm not going to kill you for something stupid like that... But just don't make that same mistake again.

(Wuaaa! Okay, okay! *snif* *sniff* I won't do it again! *snif* *snif* I promise!)

Seriously how problematic to have a self-proclaimed daughter.

(*snif* *snif* Dad started by making me cry! You should hold on for what you caused!)

That's good, you've stopped crying.

(*growl*)

Now, now, stop growling like a dog.

(I'm not a dog!)

Tch, you better calm down.

(Just this once, I'll listen to you!)

Continue reading!

Turning over another leaf!

Reading!

(...)

Turning over another leaf!

(...)

Haah, please... Talk about what you want to talk about.

(Me!?)

No, me.

(I see!)

... You really think you're smart.

Speak fast.

(Ugh.)

What are you worried about?

(I just wanted to know about all the information Dad has read! Who are the most important ones to keep information!?)

If it's just that, you didn't have to be nervous.

(But... I didn't want to bother with something so silly.)

Don't say that's silly, having the same information about other beings will be just as useful in the future.

(But, even so, there are always going to be important information that always needs to be kept.)

I suppose, but if you care about that subject, I will tell you these important names that you can keep, of the other gods and deities I will keep quietly to myself.

(Okay!)

Erebos (Shadow) [Greece]

Nyx (Night) [Greece]

Hypnos (Sleep) [Greece]

Thanatos (Death) [Greece]

Aclis (Disgrace, Misery and Eternal Night) [Greece]

Lilith...

Well, with Lilith there are a lot of problems.

(Why?)

Lilith was also known in the Hittite, Egyptian, Greek, Hebrew, and Roman cultures. In later times, his legend even reached northern Europe. She represented chaos and sexuality and was said to have the power to bewitch men. Their myth is also related to the oldest vampire tales... Tch, it's really problematic that a single being has different myths in other cultures.

(I think it's in the bible, too.)

Shhh, true there is also this one.

Reading!

"God fashioned Lilith as the first woman. He did it in the same way he created Adam, with the only difference that instead of using only clean earth as raw material, he also used rubbish and filth. Lilith has traditionally been considered to mean "the night," and is associated with attributes linked to the spiritual aspects of sensuality and freedom, but also to terror."

Seriously, it sucks that they have the same name in different cultures.

(So... What do we do, Dad.)

Fuah, for now all of Lilith's information will be for me, you concentrate on saving the information of the following beings that I will tell you.

(Umu!)

Rahu (Darkness and Eclipses) [Hindu]

Ratri (Night) [Hindu]

Nótt (Night) [Nordic]

They continued like this for a while so that Nightmare could study the beings that Sengo told him to have information stored and learn how to use his powers.

But there was something strange that Sengo realized, his daughter had quickly studied Hebrew alphabets by the time she read the Hebrew to Japanese dictionary to study Lilith in Hebrew culture.

(Tet!)

Tet?

"The origin of the word Tet comes from the Hebrew Tit which means mud, and mud allows for isolation, when the mud dries it falls like old skin. This letter signifies the change of skin."

I know Little Garden's dictionary, but I don't understand why Nightmare said that-...

Instantly, Sengo began to have a severe headache, causing him to fall to his knees on the water of a small river, where he ended up wetting his legs and pants a little.

Ugh, shit what a pain... Wait, water?

—You... Who are you...

I heard the dying voice of a woman, seeing who it was I was surprised.

Oda Nobunaga.

It was her... Now I understand why she said she saw me in her last moment of dying, it was because I had appeared in front of her traveling in space-time.

But how?

The only thing I can think about is what happened a few seconds ago on Nightmare's part.

Hahaha, this is crazy, you made Nightmare...

(Dad! Dad! Dad!)

Eh?

I find myself back in the library, sitting in the same place.

(What happened Dad!? I just said something and lost you for a few seconds without feeling your consciousness!)

Ugh, what a headache... Don't you know what you did?

(No, I just said Tet!)

Shit!

I don't know where I was, but I don't really like it at all.

I see a destroyed city with dead bodies all over the city, it seems that a catastrophe had befallen that city and there was no salvation for them.

For now, I have not returned as it was before, I started walking seeing more closely the destruction of whoever is guilty of this.

I see the bodies dismembered by the claws of an animal, since it was thick, presumably of a giant beast with claws of 30 cm by the thickness of the cut of the dismembered bodies.

I knelt down and got to feel the cold of the dead body.

This is surprising, I don't know what Nightmare has done, but his powers are to be feared... they're similar to [Halloween Queen], but in the case of Nightmare, it's sending someone's consciousness anywhere in space-time.

Drops falling to the floor!

(Dad! What happened now!)

—Ha, ha, this time I managed to feel the dead body of someone anywhere in space-time that you sent me, your power is to surprise you.

(Seriously, isn't that worrisome?)

Nightmare said, worried about her new supernatural power she had gained.

—Haah, yes, but in your case, you can't achieve many things, what you can do is start to master it so that an accident like the one we have now doesn't happen.

(This okay dad, it's the only thing I can do for now, someday I might get my own body.)

—Ugh... it will be more problematic.

(I'm not a troublemaker, I'm your daughter!)

Self-proclaimed.

(But I am, hmpf!)

Pouting won't solve how troublesome you are.

(Hmpf, now I want to see how long your consciousness loses, like you said, I have to master my power, Tet.)

Your brat!

—Muramasaaa!

Swing!

Krrsshh!

I ended up opening my mouth in surprise and then pain from the cut made by the person who appeared in front of me, until I saw them well.

—Ha, ha! Aghh! Damn, what a pain!

Mélusine ended up cutting my abdomen and ribs a bit.

Ughh, seriously Nightmare... You must not use your father in this experiment.

Swing!

Krrrsshh!

I began to counter all of Mélusine's attacks, but my katanas were destroyed in the process.

Smile. —Ha, ha, ha! You're really strong!

—I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Damn you, liar!

—In a battle, any trick will do! Even the ability to deceive the enemy, as he was faking my death, to make a surprise attack!

—I'll kill you! You're a piece of trash to use a dirty trick like that!

He had orders to carry out by Alien God, where an artificial body was built to send to the fairy Lostbelt.

Swing!

Krrrssshhh!

You're going to die Mélusine, that's why you fell into my trap.

Becoming attached to someone you can trust, believing that they would never betray you, is a big mistake that any human has made.

Swing!

Krrrshhh!

And it was the same with you, Mélusine.

Since I was at the mercy of my enemy, you believed and trusted me that I would never do anything against you.

A big mistake.

My every move was planned by Rasputin's twisted strategy. Like when you saw my sacrifice to forge Excalibur and not let Artoria Caster die. That day only one perfect copy of me died, which was created with the help of Ashiya Douman.

Swing!

Krrrssshhh!

—Ah, this step will never kill me! Mélusine!

—Shut up!

Swing!

Krrsshh!

And it was also because of that, you let your emotions control you and didn't think through your movements.

Falling!

Our fight ended up going all the way to a big dark hole.

—It seems like our fight has come to an unexpected place.

—I'll kill you, anyway! Even anywhere!

Smile. —Ha ha, you're really funny.

—Ha! I'll have fun tearing your flesh apart!

—Well, if you can kill me, of course.

—You talk like you've already won!

—I suppose, after all we're falling into a dark place where no sunlight falls.

—*grimace* What are you talking about?

—Ha, ha, I'll tell you this Mélusine, darkness has always been a great friend to me.

The moment we entered all the darkness of this hole, the scenario changed.

Mélusine quickly realized it, but it was too late.

A great dome of darkness rose all within this hole.

And thanks to this I was able to understand something important about this day.

Nightmare had helped me this time.

So, travel back in time.

Each time her powers are more amazing and frightening.

Although I didn't care about that, I just took out Myoujingiri Muramasa where I started filling her with mana so that I could cause a strong explosive destruction, where I ended up piercing her all over her chest letting the katana and the excess mana do their job.

Explosion!

As I was surprised that time, seriously his body is very resilient and hard.

But even so the explosion was also too strong, where the inside of his chest was crushed, although the explosion also reached me where various parts of my body were burned.

Her eyes began to lose their brightness, as she wanted to say something.

I started to leave the place, there was still no enemy to face and continue to carry out Alien God's order.

(Dad! Dad! You're back, right!)

Fall!

I ended up falling to the floor as my consciousness slowly lost itself.

... It seems that the severe headaches and body aches that it began to cause left me very weak.

—Nightmare... For now, I forbid you... To use that strange power... This causes... A great pain... of body and mind...

Unconscious!

(Dad, wake up!)

Sengo wasn't woken up by Nightmare's screams.

(Okay, Dad! I won't use this power again! But wake up!)

(I really don't know what to do now! I can't control your body to move you to your room so you can sleep more comfortably!)

Tac!

(Mhm!? Who came in!? Dad, almain, open one eye, I can't see who entered the library!?)

—Sengo, you're here! I came to ask if you can make more shuriken for me!

(This voice! I know her, she's Katō Danzō! Even though I know her, I can't ask for help! *snif*)

You could hear Katō's footsteps approaching.

(That, Katō, you're close to Dad!)

—And now, what the hell happened to Sengo?

(*snif* It was my fault!)

—Wow! His body is so cold, it's like he's been given hypothermia! Seriously, we're lucky to have a very sturdy body for this case! But even so, we should not try to see the limit of how long our resistance can last!

(My dad didn't try to experience resistance to see when he might die!)

—*sigh* Seriously Sengo, you had barely woken up to be in a coma again!

(This time it was my fault, I did it to experience this strange power!)

Lifting!

—Well, I'll carry you on my back to your room so you can sleep comfortably.

(*snif* I really appreciate it, Aunt Katō!)

—*sigh* I'd like to know what happened to you this time.

(Even if I tell you, you're not going to listen to me! Wuaa! I'm just a ghost to Aunt Katō!)

(Please! Wuaa! Dad wakes up! He feels lonely talking to himself!)

Omake: The Self-Proclaimed Daughter of Sengo

(Hi Dad, nice to meet you!)

Hey?

As I thought about my trouble with my emotions, a strange voice of a little girl had begun to hear.

I looked around, but I didn't find anything strange, apart from Nobunaga who is still hugging me.

Am I already going crazy about aging?

(¡Ha, ha, ha! How funny dad! Right now, you're in a new life and with a young body! You can't have a problem with your old aging!)

... There is a god... Don't tell me you're the personality I got by fulfilling the process of separating my curses.

(Ha, ha, ha! You're right, Dad, but I'm your daughter!)

And she calls herself my daughter... That goes on now, your mother is the katana I made.

Ha, as if this thing happened.

(Am I telling you the truth or are we still father and daughter?)

... Tell me it's a joke, please.

(It was part of the process, after all I had to go to the katana, but I'm here with you)

Tch, I surrender to my fate... I think this is the first time I've surrendered to my fate.

How curious, the one who can eliminate his destiny now finds himself surrendered to it.

(I'll answer you or you're going to keep thinking like a philosopher.)

You weren't just born; how can you think as well as a teenager.

(80 billion years of root knowledge.)

What are you talking about, brat?

(¡Ha, ha, ha! It's a little joke! I have knowledge collected from your brain, Dad!)

So that explains why he knows information from my old life.

(Ah, Jah!)

Haah, well explain to me better the processing of this ritual to get you as a new personality.

(Dad, I can ask you a little question first!)

Oh... Well, okay, ask.

(Because the new katana was named "Zesshi Zetsumei", but the others were never named, is there an important reason?)

... From the meaning of its name, after all it means "Desperate Disappointment" something I've been encountering lately.

(I just wanted to confirm nothing else, because after all, my power is negative, same as that meaning!)

Negative? Was there any trace of the power of "Darkness" from my old life?

(More precisely, "Madness" and together with the "Curses" of your legend and also of what contaminated you that day, thanks to that a mutation of these two powers was born... You can call me Nightmare, otou-san.)

» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «

—Castle Lake. —

After I left my room with Nobunaga, I had gone with my brothers to talk about what happened to me and I also talked to Yoshi-sensei so he could tell my father.

With all that, I had decided to walk to the castle lake to observe the moon, for some reason I always found it relaxing to see the moon. Thanks to that, I can calm down and think carefully about what I'm going to do next.

It's something I've always done in my old life, and I'll continue to do it in this one as well.

... For now, I have to think about what happened to me.

Since I had forged Zesshi Zetsumei, I ended up unconscious for 6 days, in that 6 days I was demolished more than 1,000 times by that pillars, I ended up losing my emotions, empty eyes, my emotionless voice, my body and face pale as a dead man, and also now I have a self-proclaimed daughter who was born from a mutation of "curses" and "madness".

I ended up rubbing my eyes with my fingers, after all it was 6 nights of suffering that I had never imagined would happen to me.

(Hhm? So, what are you going to do, Dad?)

Ugh, the first thing would be for you to stop calling me "Dad."

(Why Dad!?)

Very easy little girl because right now I'm a brat. But you know what, you better leave it, call me what you want, maybe I don't have the strength to go around punishing a little newborn girl.

(So "grandpa" how was it with Onui-san!?)

Agh, don't remind me of Onui.

(Mhm? Okay, I'm surprised you can express emotions in your mind.)

Even though this emptiness of emotions, I can still express it within myself.

(Even when you've completely lost your emotions, Dad.)

... Well, you may be a little right, but I still have what's called a heart where sometimes it overflows with feelings when you don't want to show it.

(I guess, after all I don't have a heart.)

... Shit...

(What happened, Dad? I see you're a little worried.)

Sigh!

Tell me Nightmare, there's a way for you to get your own body and heart so I don't feel bad for you.

(I don't think, I am the birth of a mutation of "Madness" and "Curses" that cannot have a physical and spiritual body, for that reason I live inside your body as another personality to maintain my existence.)

I mean, if you separate from me, it's instant death, right?

(Bingo! You're too good at figuring it out fast, Dad! That's why you were able to beat your enemies fast!)

Okay, okay, let's forget things from the past, we're thinking of you.

(Okay!)

Well, thinking with the logic of this world if you do something even good or bad, Little Garden will recognize your existence and help you by giving you a physical or spiritual body that goes according to you.

(That's true?!)

In some books in the library, it is written that, but your body depends on what goes according to your being.

(So, what do I have to do to get the body I want!?)

But first I'll tell you this, you're "Madness" and "Curses", I don't think anything nice comes out that you can do.

(It doesn't matter, that's why I called myself Nightmare after all, but I still can't do anything. If I get out of Dad's body, I'll die.)

You're right, I guess I'm going to do this kind of thing now.

(Do you already have a plan, Dad?)

Yes, as you said, you are Nightmare, and I already have a lot of experience observing the "madness" of my katanas in the hands of feudal soldiers at that time.

(What are you going to do, Dad!)

Easy, we will travel to the digit 7 where the weakest beings live, and we will begin to raise and make your name known so that Little Garden recognizes your existence.

(The plan that Dad is having, it's very macabre, we're going to go to a city of weak humans where you'll use my power to put them to sleep so that I can give them a nightmare and then I'll end up killing them.)

You're right about that, but don't kill all the humans, because then no one will be able to spread out of your existence so that they reach the gods of Little Garden and acknowledge your existence.

(Oh, I see, and I get the body I'd like to have!)

Oh right, I recommend that when you go to give them their nightmares you have a child's appearance, as humans won't care much if they see a little girl in their dreams, and when they least expect it, you start giving them the real terror in their dreams.

Smiling macabrely!

(Seriously, Dad, you're scary with that smile and dead eyes!)

Ugh, it seems that I'm having that mental disorder back, I thought that getting another personality would calm down that twisted mentality of killing... Let's leave this plan for the future.

(Okay!)
