Chapter 507 – Episode 55. Post-War Processing and Purges.
“How can a divorce happen so quickly?”
I asked Yuzuki Kasaoka, who came to my house. We didn’t say anything about getting divorced before that. This was the first time we talked about it today, and I was very embarrassed that they said they were divorced instead of saying they were going to divorce.
“Because we both agreed. Husband… No, Koki Kasaoka also agreed. Divorce by agreement is possible immediately. “If one person refuses to divorce or the conditions are not compatible, it will take a lot of time.”
Koki Kasaoka also agreed… If you think about it, he might want to divorce Yuzuki Kasaoka in the meantime because he remembers seeing her walking with another woman. Ah… ! Then isn’t it Kasaoka Yuzuki now? So far, she must have taken her husband’s last name
“Then I guess I’ll use a different last name instead of Kasaoka?”
“Yes, I am going to use her maiden name her. From now on, please call me Matsunaga Yuzuki (松長 柚生).”
“Matsuna Yuzuki…” . “It’s better than Kasaoka.”
From now on, you can just call Matsuna Yuzuki. She smiles faintly when I say that it is better than Casa Oca. No matter how much you have no love for each other, and you divorce by agreement, you will feel depressed when you actually get divorced.
Matsunaga Yuzuki looked at me with moist eyes, as if asking me to forget. If you want it that way, of course I should let you forget.
Will Smith in the movie Men in Black had a silver wand that made him forget his memories, but I also had a flesh-colored wand that played a similar role. If you just use that, you can change Matsunaga Yuzuki’s bad mood into her pleasure.
I approached Yuzuki Matsunaga. As I approached, Yuzuki Matsunaga’s eyes began to glow with anticipation.

Kirie Kurayamada arrived at Jinjidang’s hideout. Jinildang’s hideout was a small factory in Kofu City, and the signboard said “Kofu Aoba Precision.” On the surface, the factory was a subcontractor for Minamoto Motors, but in reality, it could be said to be a paramilitary building with facilities for secretly manufacturing explosives and repairing firearms and combat vehicles.
When Kirie Kurayamada entered the factory of Kofu Aoba Precision, she was greeted by an old man with a wrinkled face.
“Soju (小主)! It’s been a while. “How was the funeral?”
“There was no body, so we lived in a makeshift shelter.”
The old man sighed at Kirie Kurayamada’s answer to her. The situation was so chaotic that even the body of the murdered head of the family could not be recovered… I didn’t feel good.
Jinildang is the largest terrorist organization in the Kanto region, but due to the root incident of this earthquake, its leader and leadership were killed and there was a significant power leak. The future of Jinildang will be decided by the decision of Kirie Kurayamada, the little master in front of us.
“Yes, Soju. What are your future plans? Now that the head of the family has lost his life, we will have to decide what to do going forward.”
The actual president of Kofu Aoba Precision, and the second most important position after the head of Jinildang, asked Kirie Kurayamada about the future. It meant that he would give strength to future decisions.
“We will no longer operate underground. Now Jinildang will go up to the sunny area.”
“You mean brisket?”
“We decided to establish PMC. “You no longer have to be chased by the police or not be able to buy your children what you want because you don’t have money.”
Hearing Kirie Kurayamada’s words, the old man remained silent for a moment. He had big intentions and joined forces with Kazuma Kurayama to create a gang, but he has regretted it dozens and hundreds of times until now. But since I couldn’t retrace the steps I had already taken, I continued to do so until now. However, when Kirie Kurayamada said he wanted to escape this life, he felt like something was stopping him.
“Is it that easy?”
The old man’s words had an ambiguous meaning. It was a question with two meanings: whether it was easy to change from a terrorist group to a PMC and whether it was easy to give up one’s beliefs.
“In the end, his father didn’t have proper beliefs either. If you are talking about establishing a PMC, there are investors. If I go as far as laundering my identity, it will take more money and time, but I also need time to get a license. By early next year, everyone will be able to become proud agents of PMC.”
Kirie Kurayamada saw that the previous head of the family, Kazuma Kurayama, had become intoxicated with power and turned into a monster himself, so she lost her love for the beliefs she had maintained.
“Well, since it was the royal family who gave Kazuma information about the roots of the earthquake, I understand why he was shaken…”
“I didn’t know that. She had no idea about the roots of the earthquake. Even though I was the vice owner.”
“Her… ! “I didn’t know that.”
When the old man said that the royal family had given him information about the roots of the earthquake, I felt once again that the beliefs I had previously pursued, such as the revival of the Emperor, were completely meaningless.
“Please help the gun commander persuade the rest.”
“I understand. If you can persuade me as well as Soju, everyone will probably agree…”
Since it was a Jinil party maintained by the strong charisma of the head of the family, there was a high probability that Kirie Kurayamada’s argument to move to Yangji now that the head of the family would be accepted would work. Since they said they would help even the elderly gun commander, most of Jinildang will be able to hire as PMC agents.
“But that burden… ?”
The old gun commander asked as he looked at the luggage Kirie Kurayamada was carrying. It was a long bag that looked to be almost 2 meters long, and it seemed to contain something.
“It’s the material for a sword. “There is also a swordsman, right?”
“That friend is always inside. Come in and see. “If you tell me that soju has arrived, they will be very happy.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Kirie Kurayamada went inside. Kang! Kang! A regular sound was being heard. There, a very strong, muscular old man was holding a hammer and making a sword. Every time he swung the hammer, scarlet flames burst out, completing the shape of the sword.
The old man stopped swinging the hammer for a moment as if he sensed the presence of Kirie Kurayamada. The old man was Harugoro Ichimonji (一文字春午郎), a swordsmith famous not only in Japan but also around the world.
In the Jinil Party, he was called the sword leader instead of his name his, and since most of the Jinil Party used firearms, the former head of the party, Kazuma Kurayama, signed a contract for his daughter his, who used a sword. He was a famous and great craftsman who was difficult to embrace as part of the Jinildang, so he did not belong to the Jinildang, but only lent them a place and in return, he often made swords for Kirie Kurayamada.
“The sword is broken, grandfather.”
“It was a pretty well-made otachi, but what did you do to break it and eat it?”
“… Killing his father his.”
Harugoro Ichimonji pauses for a moment at the words of Kirie Kurayamada. The old swordsman had a slightly sad expression.
“I’m sure if you want to kill Kazuma with your skills, you’ll have to break at least one sword. First, may Kazuma rest in peace.”
“Thank you. Rather than that, I brought the ingredients here.”
“A guy who doesn’t even care about ingredients… “What kind of strange item is it that you brought it here?”
Harugoro Ichimonji received the bag from Kirie Kurayamada and opened it. It contained three huge claws left behind by Kazuma Kurayama, who had turned into a monster.
“Is this something Kazuma left behind?”
“Yes.”
“With this, I can make two otachi (large swords) and one wakizashi (a sword shorter than a kodachi or katana with a blade length between 1 and 2 chis (30.3 to 60.6 cm)).”
“Great. I can use the two otachi and put the wakizashi on my father’s Buddhist altar. Since I don’t have cremated bone powder, I can just bow to Wakizashi.”
Harugoro Ichimonji laughed when Kirie Kurayamada said that he would bow to the wakizashi he made.
“Heulheul…” . “I knew Kazuma would end up like this.”
“Yes?”
“The price Kazuma paid for hiring me to make you a sword wasn’t just letting you stay here. He said he would give me not only iron but also new materials. As promised, Kazuma handed over his fingernails to me. By smelting werewolf claws, I was able to reach new heights. Perhaps Kazuma unconsciously felt that she was at her end. She thought she might leave her fingernails to her daughter.”
The iron used to make swords and the claws of giant animals were completely different genres. As he learned the properties of various objects, starting with claws, and made swords, Ichimonji Harugoro was able to reach a new level.
Harugoro Ichimonji, who was lost in thought for a moment, handed over a tanto (短sword) to Kirie Kurayamada.
“The nails you brought are bigger and in better condition than any nails Kazuma has brought so far. It can be said that placing such items on the Buddhist altar is a huge waste. Instead of the wakizashi I will make, please place this tanto made with your father’s usual fingernails on the Buddhist altar.”
Kirie Kurayamada nodded her head and accepted the tanto given to her by Harugorō Ichimonji. When I pulled the sword out of the scabbard, it was clearly different from the steel blade. A milky sword with less luster than metal appeared. Kirie Kurayama had this tanto to her liking. In fact, the fingernails I brought with me were the fingernails I collected from my father when he transformed after eating the root of an earthquake.
Because I watched him turn into a monster in real time, I felt more fear than affection. However, the tanto handed over by Harugoro Ichimonji felt like his father’s usual days. Kirie Kurayamada decided to place a tanto made from her father’s fingernails on her father’s altar, as it was a good memory of her father, who had turned into a monster.
—Alic practice.
Kwaying haha
