"Oh? Is it? So what's the reason?"

He was not angry, nor did he show an embarrassing expression. Although the four were probably retainers or samurai in the Hachimoto all turned gloomy in an instant, Masato Ida just smiled and then made an expression of interest.

"The rejection is so straightforward, there must be a reason or something, right?"

"Because I'm still a child"

Yao Ji shrugged without hesitation.

However, this is not a wise answer. Because in this generally short-lived era, there are about 12, and perhaps 13, and not small.

“Ha~?”

So, it is natural that Masatozo would show an unknown expression?

But of course, this expression was much better than the warriors under her.

"Hahaha, are you scared? Or should you praise yourself for being self-aware?"

It would be too rude to say that it was just a simple ridicule. The smiles of those warriors were mostly full of angriness.

It probably contains the meaning of "I actually sent an authentic master for such a stupid reason". If those warriors were not concerned about the Lord's intention, they might have drawn their swords and sheathed at this moment.

After all, the unconcealed expression on Yao Ji's face, which really made them intolerable.

"Ahhh, probably"

But Yao Ji didn't care about that.

Still using that expression and tone that nothing matters, he waved his hand perfunctorily, and then patted Maiori, who had trembling because of the other party's anger, so that she could calm down. While starting to think about whether it was time to see off the guests.

After all, no matter how he returns from the "future", he doesn't want to participate in the war in this troubled time. Even if he is really crazy, he will only go to the Sixth Heaven Demon King and Monkey, right? Or maybe Sister Qianxin might?

"Yes, such a reason... It sounds good, but unfortunately it doesn't work."

However, Masato Loli is still calm.

Just as Yao Ji's previous rejection was just a joke, she shrugged her shoulders with regret, and then she showed her eyes clearly that she was ignoring her.

"What's the meaning?"

"It's very simple, I don't allow you to refuse."

"···Are you depriving me of my freedom?"

"Since you set foot on the land of Oshu, you are the civilians under my rule. Do you think you can refuse my recruitment just because you are not old enough?"

Yao Ji widened his eyes.

"What a robber's theory"

"Maybe, but this is also natural, right? You see, the so-called state, collective, and team things are like this. The majority of people are gathered together to form a community of interests, and to exclude and expel non-members in order to protect the interests of members. And when this group occupies a piece of land and calls it "territory" to protect its members, further rights and obligations are born - whether it is a city, a state, or a state, in order to ensure that it forms its own people and aristocrats, they will defend this area with something called army and violence, and expel others who are not the power from it, so as to ensure that the harvest and profits on this land are not plundered by others. In this process, in order to prevent this protection from being interrupted and not defeated by other groups and individuals, the dedication of the rest of the individuals in the group is taken for granted, right?"

The girl's expression was so calm that she was cruel.

"As for me, although I am born a noble, I don't think I am really noble - you see, I am a girl, right? If I weren't the only child of the Ida family, I'm afraid my only function is to marry and become a goods for family marriage. Although it is also my obligation and there is nothing to complain about, it will not make me feel happy after all. So, after being lucky enough to become the governor of the Ida family, I was thinking, why are the noble nobles nobles and what is the power of the nobles?"

“···”

"Of course it's not because of the last name, right?"

“···”

"Actually, you can figure this kind of thing out by thinking about it carefully. But many people are unwilling to think about it, or they are too lazy to even think about it - I was like that, but I should say I am lucky, right? The big sister I met in Kinki taught me a lesson."

“···”

"The power of aristocrats lies not in themselves, but in others - more trustworthy, more knowledgeable, and more convincing. It is not that they have power, but that they can turn the people they lead into power. The more land, population, and resources, the stronger the power of aristocrats will be. In contrast, if people cannot trust and cannot obtain land and resources, the aristocrats are just special civilians."

Yao Ji was stunned when he heard this. As for the Maiori behind him, it had become a mosquito-coil eye and was completely in chaos.

However, the difference is.

Maiori cannot understand, but Yaoji... does not fully understand.

After all, the girl said it too long and too fast. At best, the demon can only understand part of it.

Although that part is enough for him to understand what the girl wants to say, but...

"···What a bold statement. Is it okay to discuss such topics with civilians like me?"

"What does it matter? From today on, you will be my subordinate."

There was no hesitation at all and no rejection.

However, in a sense, although Yao Ji is not disgusted, he does not like this attitude.

"I have no objection to the theory of power and obligations, but your attitude will not attract people to like it."

"If you don't like it, just improve slowly, but talented people will not be able to take it back if they let it go."

And one of the characteristics of human beings is.

Rebellion towards so-called authority will intensify with the increase of power.

I am unwilling to obey, I value my own ideas more, and I hope to think alone.

That cannot be said to be bad, because the reason why this happens is the self-esteem and confidence that arises while self-improvement.

But I have to say that sometimes, people will choose the wrong path because of their excess self-confidence.

"I'm grateful for the praise, but I still refuse, please go back."

Just like now.

“—Bold!”

Yao Ji's confidence made him choose to follow his own casualness, while the warriors under Masato chose to use strength because of their self-esteem.

——This is not difficult to understand. After all, for warriors, the death of the master humiliating minister is also a benchmark in a sense.

And Masato Loli said all these words and acted so sincerely - the little guy on the opposite side was still as casual as he was ungrateful.

I think if you are a loyal person, you will get angry?

‘Even if you don’t kill him, you have to teach him a lesson so that he can understand the reality well.’

It was precisely with this kind of thought that these warriors drew out their swords.

As for the possible failure, they never thought about it.

Yes, after all, one side is an adult who is over thirty years old, who has been in the battle formation several times and has survived to this day, while the other side is just a child of the same age as the lord - even if the other side has the name of a swordsman. It's just a recent rumor. I'm afraid it has been exaggerated a lot, and even if there are some real materials, it can't be real.

For them, this is something that does not require hesitation or worry at all, and it is not even considered arrogance. At most, it is just a little negligence.

However, it was this negligence that almost killed them.

“——Did you draw your sword to face each other?”

If I hadn't felt the murderous aura, I'm afraid the ending would be another.

Faced with the oppression of four people, Yao Ji just smiled.

Then, the next moment, the incredible sword skills were unfolded in front of everyone.

"I just want to try it-"

“!?”

"——I call this thing the speed."

In two months, the exploration of one's own abilities and the use of the power of time is displayed at this moment.

It’s not unreasonable, it’s only the ‘stagnation’ that I wander in the long river.

Instead, the axis is lengthened and the stopwatch is slow to slow down.

Use one second as three seconds, and in the eyes of others - that is the veritable triple speed, right?

It is much weaker than time stop, but it is much easier to use than time stop.

Yao Ji's figure instantly turned into a green whirlwind.

It was still a tactic of not being sheathed. While Yao Ji cut between the four warriors, the sheathed sword hit their knees without mercy.

Under a conversion formula that the demon dares not understand, the attacks emitted during slowing time are more powerful than the past.

With just one blow, the trained warriors had to kneel on one knee, and the second blow on their backs simply knocked them to the ground.

Three seconds, four people.

While sweeping across the array like a gust of wind, victory is natural.

In front of me was a blond girl with her eyes wide open and her face full of incredible faces.

Yao Ji looked at her and naturally smiled.

“How does it feel?”

After a brief shock, the little girl returned without showing any weakness and was full of wild fights.

"It's not bad-!!"

If the previous demon taboo was the god of wind.
