Samurai Hearts – Chapter 1: For Revenge (8)
Episode 22
The ‘Making Victorians’ project.
It was a project with the purpose of making Seungyeon, a physical eunuch, at least a human being by teaching Dohyun, a physical monster.
This was based on one thought that Seungyeon had in mind, and that was, ‘My younger brother is a talented person, but if I learn well, I can’t hit a regular hit?’
Anyway, Seungyeon and Dohyeon are siblings, born with the same genes.
‘If I become a younger brother, what can’t I do?’
Of course, that’s a close-up idea.
But if there was even a slight possibility, there was no reason not to try.
If other broadcasters had shown their genius in her broadcasts, such a project would not have been conceived.
But luckily, Do-hyeon is her younger brother and a guest on her show.
It means that she can learn without any burden.
‘Honestly, I was hesitant, but for the sake of broadcasting, there is nothing I can do!’
It is impossible for Dohyun to carry on hard forever and to continue broadcasting with what she admires.
Of course, it wouldn’t be bad right now, but what if Dohyun quits appearing on TV in the future?
All those who entered the broadcast because of Do-hyeon will leave, and eventually her broadcast will return to the way it used to be.
There will be those left behind, so we will grow, but that will be the end of it.
She also needed to appeal to viewers with her charms through broadcasting, and she decided that the best way was the ‘Making Victorians’ project.
‘Let’s think of it as an unavoidable sacrifice to call my brother a teacher.’
The most important thing in the ‘Creating a Victorian’ project was the reversal of the position of the younger brother and older sister.
In fact, because of this part, she was hesitant about whether to run this project until the very end.
Rejection comes from the fact that he calls his younger brother his teacher and obeys him!
My sister’s self-esteem was wrinkled without mercy, but if you think about it, from the moment she was cut for one second, it was nothing like that.
Therefore, she closed her eyes, saying that it was an inevitable sacrifice for the sake of broadcasting.
“But how do you ask me to teach you?”
“Of course, it’s practical training. Please tell me how to do it from behind.”
“Well, it’s not that difficult.”
On the other hand, Seungyeon, with her shoulders drooping, continued speaking in a weak tone.
“Everyone. As you have heard, from now on, my broadcast will feature three contents: a VR tour with my family, a martial arts training, and a project to make a Victorian person….”
– What is the diversity of content?
– Hahaha, the last content gaobazaner hahaha
– Will she ever be able to become a human?
Viewers just said they liked it.
After notifying the fact about the content change, Seungyeon headed to Mio.
Because she failed the event that could create a new swordsmanship school, she had to learn the old school.
After learning the swordsmanship from Mio, the next thing she spoke to was a Tengu.
After the school establishment event and swordsmanship transfer were over, it was to proceed with the next story.
As she spoke, the Tengu began to narrate various things.
“It would be nice if the time with the swordsmen was helpful to you. When you become stronger, your revenge and our purpose will be easier to achieve.”
“If your business here is over, tell me. There’s no one else to introduce you to at the Heavenly Garden, so make a decision about whether you’re going to get revenge right away.”
The moment Seungyeon spoke again, a new event cutscene started.
Tengu’s eyes turned to the red fox.
“Yes. Did you have a good conversation with the swordsmen?”
“Yes. It was a good experience.”
“Chuckle. It’s good. So what do you do now? Are you going to take revenge right away? Or do you need more time?”
To Tengu’s question, the Red Fox bit her lips without answering right away.
It was the expression of a person whose reality had been forcibly turned away.
After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her mouth.
“I remember you said we were the only two living on the hill.”
“It did.”
“Then what happened to the body of the master there?”
“The enemies left it as it is. If I left it alone, the wild animals would eat it, so I buried it.”
The red fox let out a dull sigh.
The face of the black wolf, who was watching quietly from behind, was also distorted without mercy.
A warrior who has lost his master.
Anger and hatred simmered in their hearts when the victims they swore to sacrifice their lives for.
“If that’s the case, I would like to say goodbye to my lord one last time before taking revenge.”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done. Would you like to go right away?”
“Yes. Please guide me.”
The Tengu nodded, and, as usual, cherry blossom petals for a change of location swirled.
Eventually they reached the top of the hill.
A hill where he fought the sword castle and defeated the enemy soldiers, but was eventually defeated and lost his master.
The eyes of the red fox who had been looking around opened wide.
It was because they found a shabby wooden tombstone in a corner of the hill with traces of black dried blood and a broken blade.
“This place is…”
“That’s right. It was buried there.”
The red fox and the black wolf knelt in front of the tombstone.
With tears in her eyes, the red fox stroked the dirt on the tombstone.
It was a shabby tombstone.
A tombstone with no name engraved on it, insignificant and humble.
This was by no means a tomb for the small lord of the Atsuragi family and the ruler who would later rule a province.
“Master….”
Red blood oozes from his lips because he bit him so hard, but he doesn’t feel any pain.
Considering the master who died at the hands of evildoers, this was not even painful.
“I will take revenge. Master. Even at the cost of my life…”
The red fox picked up the dirt from the grave.
The red fox looked down at a handful of dirt and brought it to her lips.
Agjak.
The taste of muddy earth that spreads in your mouth.
But the red fox swallowed the dirt without a word with a hardened expression.
Only her eyes blazed with anger and hatred that could not be concealed.
“I will kill all those involved in the death of my master with my own hands.”
“Without a single one, all of them.”
It was the same with the black wolf, who swallowed the dirt of the grave in anger.
They ritually swallowed the soil of the tomb, and vowed to kill everyone involved in Tatsuki’s death.
Because that was their loyalty.
And because it was the greatest anger they could show after losing their master.
As the two slowly got up, Tengu quietly spoke to them.
“Isn’t it foolish to rush into the middle of the enemy line for revenge?”
“I have no intention of doing that. If I wasted my life like that, who would comfort the soul of the master?”
“Excellent. Crazy. According to our informants, there are currently a large number of Nagamatsu clan troops out there to take over the Atsuragi estate. Do you understand what this means?”
“······The rear is empty?”
The red fox lit up her eyes.
It was the eyes of a beast that seized the opportunity.
Tengu replied with a satisfied smile down the mask.
“That’s right. The number of troops guarding the rear has decreased. So we picked the places where they are most likely to suffer the most.”
“How about there?”
“Arsenal. A place where the weapons and armor of the Nagamatsu family are produced and stored.”
The event cutscene ended there.
Again, the cherry blossom petals flutter.
The place where the cherry blossom petals were lifted and they arrived was the place the Cheonhwadan used as a base.
Tengu disappeared with the screen change, leaving only Dohyun and Seungyeon.
“Ugh, heck.”
Seungyeon frowned and pretended to spit out the contents in her mouth.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t spit out the dirt you chewed on in the event cutscene.
Especially since I didn’t actually eat it.
Unlike her with a bad expression, Dohyun was calm.
Having no experience with VR games was an advantage.
Because he didn’t move according to his own will, he had a good attitude, and it didn’t matter whether he ate the soil or not.
“It doesn’t taste like anything. Why?”
“It’s a matter of mood. A matter of mood. I guess I didn’t know how to eat dirt.”
“Pure,” Seungyeon continued.
“Anyway, that’s done. Everyone? As you can see, the next area to proceed is the Nagamatsu family’s arsenal. It’s the first area after the tutorial, so I hope it’s a little less difficult.”
-The first area is the arsenal.
-There doesn’t seem to be much of a change yet.
-Is it because it’s the beginning?
Samurai Hearts is not an open world game.
According to the story, the area you can go to is unlocked, and if you defeat the enemies and the boss there, you can see the story again.
For this reason, there was a separate way to move areas within the game.
You could move to the desired area by talking to the NPCs who were deployed to move within the base of the Heavenly Flower Group.
‘It was set up to be supported by the Cheonhwadan.’
“I don’t need to waste time, right? I’ll leave right away. Little brother, let’s go!”
Seungyeon took Dohyeon and strode along.
The location of the moving NPC was not very difficult to find.
Since the base of the Cheonhwadan was an abandoned temple, it was placed at the entrance of the temple, at the gate of liberation.
On the surface, the mobile NPC looked no different from the NPC wandering around the base.
Seungyeon, who took the lead, spoke to the NPC.
“Nagamatsu Armory.”
“Do you want to head to the Nagamatsu Armory?”
“move.”
After Seungyeon’s brief reply, the location changed along with the cherry blossom petals.
The rustling sound of iron is constantly resounding, and you can see a small Japanese-style castle patrolling with well-armed soldiers patrolling with their eyes wide open.
It was the arsenal where all the weapons of the Nagamatsu family were made and stored.
Seungyeon’s eyes gleamed as she stood in a place a short distance away from the arsenal.
“I thought it was an arsenal, so I thought it was a factory, but it was a castle? It’s a little smaller than a normal castle, but…”
-I thought it was a factory too
-I’m a warehouse.
Do-hyeon asked, seeing the soldiers patrolling around the castle.
“Are all those troops the enemy?”
“Uh, maybe? I don’t know, isn’t it? Just looking at it, if you attack from the front, everyone will flock to you.”
At Seungyeon’s answer, Dohyun frowned, remembering the last time he had died surrounded by soldiers on the hill.
He even defeated the sword, but he could not kill all the enemy soldiers who had flocked to death.
Now, while learning the sword gods, there is a new means of sword marriage, so it might be better than then…
‘Because there is no need to listen from the front.’
Do-hyeon thought so and said to Seung-yeon.
“Then what should I do? Should I catch each individual in the same way?”
Seungyoun nodded in agreement.
Originally, Samurai Hearts was such a game.
It is not a matchless game, but a game in which the number of enemies is gradually reduced through gladiator, and eventually the boss is reached.
“Um, let’s see…”
Looking at the Nagamatsu Armory, which maintains a strict vigilance in its own way, Seungyeon tapped her cheek.
Her eyes moved dizzy and looked around the Nagamatsu Armory.
