Chapter 598: Ah, So You're the Guardian Deity Born of the Great Spirit Vein?!

The White Shadow Ninja's appearance looked extremely serious, but Isayama Naraku, who heard these words, had a somewhat subtle expression.

How to put this, it was like a primitive man sharing stone-tool polishing techniques with a modern you; in a spirit world where spiritual power spells are the mainstay, someone telling you that practicing swordsmanship can make you stronger would produce a sense of absurdity about the same.

You have to know, modern Exorcists, like those guys from the Countermeasures Bureau, are already using Modern Exorcism Equipment to exorcise.

As for cold weapon swordsmanship, it's not that practicing it can't make you stronger, it's just that the degree of strengthening won't be too large, and there's a slightly large gap compared to the preconceived notion that the other party might teach some cultivation method that could greatly increase spiritual power.

"Can this really make my daughter and Kagura stronger?"

Isayama Naraku couldn't help but ask.

【Why not?】

The White Shadow Ninja held up a sign in response, his pale gold pupils gazing at Isayama Naraku with a few points of doubt, as if he couldn't quite understand the question he asked.

"Then, my daughter and Kagura, I entrust them to you, White Shadow-sama."

Isayama Naraku had quite a lot he wanted to say, quite a lot he wanted to retort, but ultimately out of politeness, he placed both hands on his knees and bowed to the White Shadow Ninja.

【No time like the present, strengthening training, let's start right now.】

As a Summoned Being, the White Shadow Ninja is a task execution machine, the Representative of efficiency.

The seaside Villa's House also has a Dojo for training.

The White Shadow Ninja had Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura hold bamboo swords, and began strictly training the two according to the Swordsmanship Training Notes in hand, which was actually a swordsmanship practice manual specially customized by Broly for the two.

【Movement incorrect, your sword swing movement should be like this.】

【Wrong, when thrusting, the foot on the same side must step out past half the thrust distance, only then will the thrust's power be sufficient.】

【Slash angle needs adjustment, can significantly increase slash power.】

……

Isayama Huangquan knows how to use a sword, but now accepting the White Shadow Ninja's guidance, she felt like a naive child just learning swordsmanship.

Even a very simple front slash movement would be pointed out for details being off, and then various micro-adjustments to the movements would be carried out.

Isayama Naraku, Isayama Meifu, Jino Setsuna watched from the side, expressions somewhat strange; anyway, they couldn't perceive the gap changes between before and after the movement micro-adjustments, and with just this, can it really make Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura become stronger?

However, Broly was very satisfied; he had long had opinions on the girls' various flawed swordsmanship, and now his own Summoned Being had been arranged by him to become an improvement teacher, carefully guiding the girl and the young girl on various small flaws in swordsmanship, giving him a feeling like watching damaged antiques being repaired, extremely comfortable.

Guidance training continued like this from morning until noon.

The fragrance of food wafted over, Isayama Meifu wearing an Apron was busy in the Kitchen.

And she had Broly go call people.

"Sister Huangquan, Sister Kagura, it's time to eat."

The girl and young girl training swords seriously heard this, and couldn't help but look toward the White Shadow Ninja.

【Moderate rest is also appropriate.】

This is the Master's intention, the White Shadow Ninja naturally had no objections, held up a sign to answer.

"Then White Shadow Teacher, do you want to join?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura asked, Isayama Huangquan also looked over.

Although there's currently no substantial feeling of becoming stronger, for the White Shadow Ninja who carefully guided their swordsmanship movements for most of the day, the two were still comparatively respectful to their teacher.

【I am a Spirit Body, I don't need to eat.】

"No problem, Spirit Bodies can also eat."

Isayama Huangquan didn't mind, familiarly pulling the White Shadow Ninja along.

The White Shadow Ninja's inquiring gaze sneakily glanced toward the Master at the side.

Broly also didn't know what Isayama Huangquan wanted to do, but signaled his own Summoned Being to act according to the girl's wishes.

The White Shadow Ninja was pulled to the Rice Bowl; Isayama Huangquan didn't know where she found an Incense Burner, poured rice inside, and lit Long Incense.

"Ding~"

Struck the Copper Bowl at the side, making the Copper Bowl emit a clear ring, then respectfully offered three incense sticks to the White Shadow Ninja.

Tsuchimiya Kagura followed suit, also inserted three incense sticks into the Incense Burner, the two then put palms together and bowed to the White Shadow Ninja.

"White Shadow Teacher is a Spirit Body, so we just need to enshrine him like enshrining the dead."

Isayama Huangquan saw the boy's curious gaze, and explained a sentence to him.

"I see."

Broly nodded, but what made him curious was, his own Summoned Being the White Shadow Ninja, being enshrined in this way, is it really useful?

Thinking thus, he directly asked his own Summoned Being: "Do you have a sensation of eating?"

【Some faint power is transmitting along with this smoke.】

The White Shadow Ninja held up a sign to respond, it actually worked.

"In ancient times, many monsters and Spirit Bodies gradually evolved into Guardian of One Side gods by accepting human offerings."

Isayama Naraku saw the situation here and also walked over to say a sentence, only what made him curious was, a Spirit Body as powerful as the White Shadow Ninja, shouldn't be so obscure and unknown.

This Isayama Family Head naturally couldn't imagine, the White Shadow Ninja is a Summoned Being born less than half a month ago, relying on the Summoner's own strength, had super-standard values at birth.

Everyone ate, the White Shadow Ninja accepted incense offerings.

In the afternoon, swordsmanship training continued.

【Very good, today's training ends, I'll come again tomorrow.】

At dusk, the White Shadow Ninja held up a sign, announcing training end.

"Eh, thanks for the guidance."

Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura subconsciously thanked.

However, the White Shadow Ninja had already dissipated in light, unknown if he heard.

"Ah, so tired, muscles all over are sore."

When night came, after showering and lying on the Bed preparing to sleep, the fatigue accumulated from a day's training only then gradually surfaced.

Many muscle groups that had never been activated before now transmitted a feeling of soreness and numbness.

"Sister Huangquan, let me give you a massage."

Broly volunteered.

"Thanks a lot~"

Isayama Huangquan did not refuse; wearing a white nightgown and lying prone on the bed, she simply let the boy fiddle around on her body.

"Broly, I want one too."

Listening to Isayama Huangquan's comfortable humming under the boy's small hands, Tsuchimiya Kagura also raised her hand; she was also very tired.

"No problem."

Broly made an OK gesture, then had the girl lie prone beside him; he sat sideways on Isayama Huangquan's butt.

His hands pressed acupoints on Isayama Huangquan's waist and back, while his feet rested on Tsuchimiya Kagura's back, using his feet to perform a relaxing tuina massage on the girl's back.

Mmm-ahh sounds rang out, continuing for a while, then *pa*—a sharp sound—and the room door was suddenly pushed open from outside.

"Hey, you're all in the room... doing what?!"

Isayama Meifu pushed the door open and intruded, originally thinking something terrible had happened inside, but what she actually saw upon opening the door was not the two-horses-one-carriage scene she had imagined.

"Broly used to be a massage therapist; he's helping us relieve physical fatigue right now."

Isayama Huangquan's hands were being pulled by the boy, the boy was stepping on her butt, making her like a fish arching its body, and the stretching of her chest and arm muscle groups let her emit comfortable muffled groans, yet she answered her cousin's question while humming.

"Is that how it is?"

Isayama Meifu was somewhat dazed; she saw the boy stretch Isayama Huangquan's upper body to the limit, then suddenly release his hands, letting her cousin fall onto the bed, revealing a flushed expression easily misunderstood, looking like after intense exercise.

Then, he directed Tsuchimiya Kagura beside him, having the girl raise both hands to hug the back of her head, rapidly moved behind Tsuchimiya Kagura, extended both hands through her armpits, then crossed back through the arm loops formed by the girl's arms, crossed hands pressing on the girl's nape, and performed a lifting pull on the girl's shoulder and neck muscle groups.

"Mmm~"

Tsuchimiya Kagura also let out some easily misunderstood sounds; although the posture looked intimately pressed together, it seemingly wasn't anything problematic.

"It's like this, Meifu-nee, Broly's super good at massage; after he does this, I feel my body's fatigue lessening."

Tsuchimiya Kagura gave a full-score evaluation; what the boy did to her only made her feel comfortable, although occasionally touching some sensitive spots, it didn't make her feel rejection.

Frequent interaction had already made her used to the boy.

"It looks... indeed quite professional..."

Isayama Meifu had to acknowledge this point.

On her cousin's and the Tsuchimiya Family young lady's faces, she saw only comfort.

It even made her want to lie on the bed and accept the boy's yoga SPA.

Next day, the White Shadow ninja still came to teach.

The Black Shadow ninja's role was temporarily over, ordered offline by Broly to no longer disturb.

However, the summons' actions are under Broly's control; other people's actions are not.

On the second day after they changed residences, Shen Gongji Shobu came visiting bearing a gift.

The reason: the talisman cured her paralyzed lower body; she came to thank Isayama Huangquan.

Of course, actually she just wanted to see the White Shadow ninja again.

"White Shadow-sama, last meeting was too rushed; I have yet to express gratitude for your talisman curing my injuries..."

Shen Gongji Shobu bowed in thanks.

【Thanks received. You may leave now; do not disturb my training.】

The White Shadow ninja accepted the thanks, then held up a sign and said.

"Actually, I have other matters I want to consult White Shadow-sama about."

Shen Gongji Shobu raised her body, speaking with a serious expression.

The White Shadow ninja remained silently wordless, just silently watching the mature lady Room Chief before him.

"It's about wanting to inquire into your origins."

Shen Gongji Shobu had already prepared her draft, and was not gradually suppressed by the atmosphere the White Shadow ninja's silence pressed down, but continued speaking.

【I have no obligation to answer any of your questions.】

Situation applied, the White Shadow ninja held up a sign, displaying a tough attitude.

"Then we can only regard you as a potential enemy."

As Shen Gongji Shobu's words fell, a ninja sword was already pressed against her nape.

Besides Broly, no one present could see the White Shadow ninja's sword-drawing motion clearly.

"Room Chief!"

The Countermeasures Bureau members who had followed exclaimed in alarm, one after another gripping the weapons on their bodies.

"Don't be nervous; if White Shadow-sama truly wanted to kill me, my head would definitely be on the ground by now. Since I'm not dead yet, it shows it's not a bloodthirsty spirit."

Shen Gongji Shobu raised a hand, stopping the Countermeasures Bureau members' rash actions; her complexion, however, did not change.

Of course, when the ninja sword was placed at her nape, this person's pupils still contracted somewhat, her body tensed somewhat; it was only because her expression management was extremely good and her psychological pressure resistance extremely strong that she appeared with a Mount Tai collapsing before her yet face unchanged demeanor.

"White Shadow-sama, your evil side took away something very important to us, and based on our speculation, we have reason to suspect you and your other side might be putting on a double act.

So, if we cannot figure out your and your other side's origins, we absolutely cannot feel at ease, and will inevitably remain guarded against you; hope you can understand."

Shen Gongji Shobu stared straight at the White Shadow ninja, explaining in a steady tone the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau's reasons for doing so.

【Humans, even if I were willing to tell you our origins, you probably wouldn't necessarily believe it, and I have no way to verify what I say.】

The White Shadow ninja gazed at Shen Gongji Shobu with pale golden pupils, seemingly examining the Countermeasures Bureau Room Chief before him, but actually counting the time of pressing down with a tough attitude.

"The origins question will be pursued; when the time comes, just do this: first push back with a tough momentum, a strong person's attitude.

If the other party is afraid, scared by the tough attitude, then naturally, this is my White Shadow Ninja Spirit's ninja way; no need to explain anything to humans.

But if the other party isn't afraid, then go with the flow and pretend to be helpless, only able to answer their questions, but first having to declare that I cannot verify the content of my answers……

He's quite the master of quite a few little tropes that make the character setting easier to believe, and the White Shadow Ninja performs these tropes perfectly.

"Regarding this point, you need not worry; we ourselves will judge the authenticity of your words."

Shen Gongji Shobu answered with a smile, and from the White Shadow Ninja's reaction of sheathing his sword and being willing to answer questions, she had already formed some judgments in her heart.

【If you want to know about my and the Black Shadow's origins, we must first mention the World. How do you humans cognize the composition of the World?】

"Uh, a planet?"

Sakurai Ikki answered subconsciously.

【Our cognition is color, is good and evil. This World is divided into black and white, good and evil. Black is Black Qi, representing the power of all Evil; White is Righteous Qi, representing the power of all Justice. And we are an extremely special two-sided existence born within the Black Qi and Righteous Qi……】

The White Shadow Ninja began narrating his preset background story in the Dojo, and this background even borrowed from the Yin-Yang Balance Theory of the Adventure Chronicle World.

After all, that is a Rule already formed in another World; strictly speaking, the saying that doing bad deeds brings retribution is also widely circulated in many Worlds.

The Black and White Ninjas' setting is to concretize the concepts of Good and Evil into individuals; if anyone doubts it, let them go verify it with the World themselves.

"Ah, so you're actually the Guardian Deity born from the Great Spirit Vein?!"

Isayama Meifu exclaimed.

Among those present, some had a sudden realization, while others showed blank expressions.

And Broly was one of those with blank expressions.

Wasn't he talking about Black Qi and Righteous Qi?

What the hell is a Great Spirit Vein?

And how did his own Summoned Creature suddenly get crowned with the title of Guardian Deity?

"Sister Huangquan, what is a Great Spirit Vein Guardian Deity?"
