The Arrival of the Unrivaled Sword Saint: The Truth of Hideyoshi’s Gender
Three Days Ago
Liudong Temple, Under the Moonlight
"I finally have the manuscript of Niten Ichi-ryū, written by Miyamoto Musashi himself."
"What a hassle it was to get this..."
"This should be enough to summon Musashi, right?"
"As a legendary swordsman from the Warring States period, his fame only adds to his prowess. If he can be summoned as the Saber class, this Holy Grail War is mine to win!"
In the quiet temple, a clear voice rang out, infused with youthful warmth.
...
Moscow, Washington, Libya, Singapore...
Countless onlookers raised their brows in curiosity, their eyes fixed on the sky.
Following the Archer group, it seemed another intriguing pair was about to make their appearance.
"Want to summon Musashi?"
"Quite the discerning one, aren't you?"
"But judging from the appearance of Yatagarasu in the preview, it seems he's summoned Musashi's archrival, Kojirō."
"According to legend, Sasaki Kojirō is also incredibly strong!"
"The secret sword Yatagarasu is unbeatable!"
Clouds drifted over Japan, surrounded by mountains.
"Musashi..."
Shuten-dōji murmured to herself, her eyes glinting with excitement as she reminisced.
Centuries ago, that powerful swordsman stood before her, delivering a blade that was pure and unfathomable.
Brilliant and striking, that memory had not faded with time; instead, it fermented within her, becoming an indelible color in her heart.
"Though you're not here, let me see just how strong Sasaki Kojirō, who shares your name, truly is!"
The woman sat on her throne, laughing as she sipped her drink.
The hypothesis of parallel worlds, how fascinating!
"You entrust your being to my command; my fate is bound to your sword."
"Respond to the summoning of the Holy Grail; those who heed this will, answer me!"
"I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in this world; I am the culmination of all evil."
"Entwined with the three great words of power, manifest across the seven heavens."
"Break through the wheel of suppression, appear, guardian of the scales."
As the incantation took form, the camera slowly shifted, leaving countless viewers in shock.
Especially the students from Wenzuki Academy's upperclassmen, who exclaimed at the sight of a familiar figure.
"Isn't that Hideyoshi?"
In the sky world, everyone turned their gaze to one direction, eyes wide with astonishment.
Dressed in a sailor suit, the strikingly beautiful Kinoshita Hideyoshi was equally bewildered.
Why was he appearing in the plot?
Wait, could it be that he was the master of the legendary swordsman Sasaki Kojirō!
...
Ahead, a serious-looking brown-haired girl in a short white skirt stood, her white stockings accentuating her long, stunning legs, infused with a hint of boyish charm, radiating a captivating aura.
The command seal in her hand glowed a deeper red.
On the high platform, ancient relics were enshrined.
A tattered manuscript fluttered in the wind, its weathered text rich with history.
Brilliant blue magical light surged from her feet, enveloping the vast temple in an instant.
A chill swept through the air, and the wind howled.
Amidst the glow, a poised figure suddenly appeared.
"Greetings, I am Assassin, summoned to your side. Are you my master?"
The swordsman smiled nonchalantly, clad in a light purple kimono with a deep blue ponytail, casually leaning against himself, a twig held in his mouth.
With his handsome features and refined manner of speech, this was the first impression he left.
Carrying a hint of confusion, Kinoshita Hideyoshi asked the first question upon meeting him.
"Are you Lord Miyamoto Musashi?"
"No, I am... Sasaki Kojirō, just an unnamed wanderer~."
The blue-haired swordsman chuckled lightly.
...
As they gazed at the elegant swordsman on the screen, the audience was momentarily stunned.
"So cool!"
"Absolutely amazing!"
"My goodness, his demeanor is enchanting!"
"Everyone, look at me! I declare myself a die-hard fan of Kojirō!"
"Another pair of handsome and beautiful figures—very nice!"
"I love this girl's outfit!"
"What a cute master..."
"What cute master? She's clearly my wife!"
"Wife, wife, wife, wife, wife, wife!!"
"Wake up, Loser! Stop daydreaming!"
"That Otaku's ego is crushed."
All around the world, voices buzzed with excitement.
Compared to the enigmatic Archer, the name Sasaki Kojirō echoed like thunder!
A legendary swordsman, said to be so skilled that even the flying swallows could not escape the reach of his blade.
His swordsmanship, unrivaled in his time, was that of a hero who dominated an era in Japan's Warring States!
At the same time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, the master of Kojirō, was also in the spotlight, his stunning looks drawing admiration from countless fans.
"Hey, wife."
But as the soft, elegant sound filled the sky, countless young hearts shattered.
[Liudong Temple, the blue-clad swordsman smirked, eyes slightly squinted, a bold smile on his lips: "I never expected that this time I'd team up with such a beautiful girl. It's truly delightful!"]
[The brown-haired girl blushed slightly: "Ah… Mr. Sasaki has misunderstood."]
"What do you mean?"
[The blue-clad swordsman looked puzzled. Wasn't she unhappy about him not being Miyamoto Musashi?]
She awkwardly scratched her head: "...Is it possible that I'm not actually a girl?"
"..."
The young warrior found it hard to believe, scrutinizing her delicate neck. Upon seeing her Adam's apple, he fell into immediate silence.
Had men in later generations become like this?
At this moment, the whole world was in shock!
"Impossible! This can't be real; how can someone so beautiful be a guy!"
"Damn it, no matter how you look at it, she's a genuine beauty!"
"I thought a girl's only enemy was another girl. Who knew… ugh."
"I lost to a guy; what kind of complicated feelings are these?"
"Crap, I almost swung that way."
"I finally felt my heart flutter, and you made me lose it so completely!"
"It's okay, I'm into this!"
*(TL/N - The what?)
"Brother Jay is actually me!"
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it… she must be a girl!"
...
"I told you, I'm a guy, damn it!"
In the sky realm, Hideyoshi helplessly covered his face.
You fools, at least accept reality seriously!
