Chapter 654: I want to fight, I need to fight!
Kabaneri World.
A place that sounds like it's from a very distant past.
But in fact, only four years have passed since the Star Gate opened.
Under the influence of the World Government, this World has undergone tremendous changes in all aspects.
Since the World Government decided to designate this vast and sparsely populated World as a 'Natural Resource Development Cooperation World'.
Ninety percent of the Men, Women, Old and Young throughout Hinamoto are engaged in related work in this area.
Planting Grain and Fruit Trees, raising poultry and livestock, and going out to sea to fish.
Cutting down trees and planting trees, mining Ore, and so on, have become the main industries of the entire World.
Now in Hinamoto, large areas of Farmland can be seen everywhere, with farmers diligently working in them.
However, the World Government's Agriculture Department later discovered through Investigation.
The overall terrain of Hinamoto is mainly mountainous and hilly, and the area of Plain suitable for cultivation is not large.
Although it is sufficient for now, if the Scale is to be expanded further in the Future, the Continent across the sea must be developed.
And Population.
The previous 'Kabaneri World disaster' left the entire Hinamoto with a Population of less than two million.
So the World Government issued an Order to the Shogunate in Kongokaku.
They were required to vigorously advocate and support Citizens having more children.
For example, giving a certain Prize Money as Encouragement for each healthy Child born.
They even built officially managed kindergartens to help parents who need to work take care of their Children.
As for Funding, the World Government could be responsible for half.
Yotsugawa Ayame naturally would not refuse this Requirement.
As a result, a large number of newborn babies have emerged in Station Cities across Hinamoto in just a few years.
Who doesn't like having children?
The key is that they even give you money to help raise them, so why not?
So now, even Inside Kongokaku Fortress, a large number of crying sounds of babies can be heard every night.
It is worth mentioning that Yotsugawa Ayame also gave birth to Kurusu's Child last year.
It was a Son, named Kōtai Yomogawa.
The reason he took his mother's surname is, firstly, because Kurusu was originally a Civilian with no surname of his own, and secondly, strictly speaking, he became a son-in-law of the Yomokawa Family.
At this moment.
Inside the Shogun's Mansion in Kongokaku.
Yotsugawa Ayame sat beside her husband, Kurusu, watching the Virtual Screen projected by the Den Den Mushi together.
Not far away, a chubby baby lay in a specially made cradle bed, being carefully looked after by two Maids.
"Since the World Government allows the Country in the Imperial Arms World to join the Affiliation, it might mean that this channel has been opened. Perhaps we can also try to apply."
Kurusu, wearing a dark blue Kimono, said thoughtfully.
He looked more mature now, and had a thick beard.
This was thanks to the 'Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum'.
Since receiving the Injection, his Body has become increasingly healthy and Strong, and he can now use the Scythe-Scythe Fruit Ability normally.
This also made him the Shogunate's Strongest in name and in fact.
The reason he cannot be called the 'Strongest Kabaneri', is naturally due to the existence of Mima Amatori.
In fact, they were initially very averse to using 'Kabaneri World' as the representative Term for their World.
But when the World Government refused their request to change the World's Code Name, they could only reluctantly accept this reality.
Several years passed like this, and everyone has slowly gotten used to it.
"Joining the World Government, huh? But will the World Government allow us to be a national Entity?"
Yotsugawa Ayame hesitated.
Although Hinamoto currently retains the Shogunate's autonomy, it is essentially no different from a colony of the World Government.
The Control Ability they exert over them is far greater than that over the various Countries in the Demon Slayer World.
It is only slightly more lenient than Paradis Island in the Titan World.
The reason for this has been mentioned before.
It is because the World Government regards the Kabaneri World as the main Grain importing World.
After all, it is something to be eaten, so the control must be stricter.
Kurusu said, "Let's try. We can also see the World Government's Attitude towards us."
"Okay."
Since having a Child, Ayame's Personality has become increasingly gentle, possibly influenced by motherhood.
She has also become more compliant with Kurusu's political suggestions.
"Also, we can try to strive for the Qualification to form a Legion. The Demon Slayer World can form an Auxiliary Legion, and our Kabaneri World can too."
"Even if the number of people is smaller, it doesn't matter. I will personally lead the team then, and we will definitely be able to obtain more Military Merit!"
Kurusu hesitated for a moment before finally expressing his thoughts.
As a skilled Samurai, he had truly had enough of a Life where he was either dealing with daily necessities or resolving trivial Conflicts among the Citizens.
Even though he maintained high-intensity Swordsmanship Training/Exercise every day, he could still feel his Body and Spirit wearing away day by day.
Only when Sparring with the Samurai under his command could he slightly Vent his frustration.
But those Samurai were, firstly, too weak compared to him in Strength, and secondly, they didn't dare to go all out due to the disparity in status.
Now that he had a Child, Kurusu felt that he should also pursue the path of a Samurai.
However, as soon as he said this, it startled Yotsugawa Ayame.
"What!"
"You want to participate in the World Government's War?"
"No way!"
This wife, who had just become a mother and was also a Female Shogun, suddenly became very firm, revealing her resolute Attitude.
"Ah—"
Kurusu let out a long sigh, "Ayame, you have to understand, I am a Samurai. A Samurai needs combat. If I continue living in such ease, I'll become useless..."
"But you are not just a Samurai, you are also my husband, and Kōtai's Father!"
Yotsugawa Ayame suddenly Stand Up, looking at Kurusu, who was sitting cross-legged on the Tatami, with Anger on her Face.
"If something happens to you, what will happen to me? What will happen to Kōtai? He can't even remember what you look like yet!"
Kurusu explained, "You know my Swordsmanship Skill. Moreover, my Physique is comparable to that of a Sea Star Person, plus the Strength of the Devil Fruit, it's not that easy for something to happen."
"But that's an Otherworld War! Even the World Government's Army General can die there! What makes you think you're foolproof?!"
Yotsugawa Ayame's face flushed with anger.
She had always been a perfect wife, not completely obedient to her husband, but certainly gentle and considerate. This was truly the first time she had gotten so angry at Kurusu.
"Cough cough, since it's a War, there's definitely a Risk. But it's risky combat that can arouse a Samurai's Hot Blood."
Kurusu slowly stood up, gently wrapped his arms around Ayame's slender waist, and sincerely looked at her angry pretty face, making his request from the bottom of his Heart.
"This Life is too much Suffering for me. I want to fight, I need to fight. It's not just me, many Samurai below are the same."
Indeed, although most of the Hinamoto People enjoy their current well-fed and well-clothed days, there is always a group of belligerent people who want a more exciting Life.
Especially the Samurai group.
Kabaneri World is too safe now. Even if something really goes wrong someday, it won't be their turn to handle it; the relevant departments of the World Government will be responsible for handling it.
"I didn't expect that being with me made you feel so much Suffering..."
Yotsugawa Ayame's eyes turned red, tears welled up from her Eyes, and her Heart hurt as if someone had squeezed it hard.
"Huh?"
"No, I didn't mean that being with you is Suffering, but that I'm Suffering because there's no combat!"
Kurusu became flustered when he saw his wife crying.
It was the first time he had seen Ayame shed tears, and he didn't expect that she would misunderstand his meaning.
While this young couple was crying and arguing, they didn't notice that there was a new change on the Virtual Screen. On the vast white Snowfield, a patch of purple Radiance suddenly bloomed...
