Chapter 34 - Chapter 32: New Beginnings Part 2

"Miyamoto Musashi?! Like the famous swordsman?!!" Haruki asked as I simply nodded.

"In the flesh, Though I may look younger because this tower summoned me here at this age." I said as He then seemed curious.

"The Tower summoned you?" He asked as I then replied.

"Well, It's more like this tower has the ability to control both time and space, Our deception of time is different in here. Outside in the real world... It's been right now 8 years since the tower first appeared." as I then continued.

"But I'm what you can call a manifestation of many Musashis! basically the multiverse theory is real. I am a version of Miyamoto Musashi that faced Sasaki Kojiro and mastered his Swordsmanship at the age of 19!" I fully explained my situation.

I was but a Manifestation of Miyamoto Musashi.

But Maybe that can change as I impact this story.

"So, Mister Haruki Suou. It appears the Tower summoned me to aid you on your journey. So? Can i join you?" I asked as he seemed thinking about it.

I looked at the other people on his crew.

There was a girl with blonde hair who seemed like a teenager.

she carries the scent of the dead on her.

She was wearing a black dress which made me wonder if she has any relation to royalty.

before i could investigate the other members, Haruki called out to me.

"Sure. You can join us Musashi." He said as I smiled.

"That's great! I'll help you as much as I can." I said as I shook his hand.

"So, Will your uh teammates introduce themselves or will they stay silent?" I asked as I eyed them all especially the girl with blonde hair.

"Well I'll introduce myself first! I'm Na-eun! I work with mister Tsukasa over here and we ran a detective agency back in the 89th floor!" Na-eun seemed enthusiastic and cheery as she introduced herself.

she also pointed at the guy with bright blue eyes and red hair.

he was wearing glasses and seemed to eye me up and down.

"Miyamoto Musashi huh?" He asked as he continued eyeing me.

"Yep that's me! also could you not uhh look at me like that?" I asked as he replied.

"My apologies. I'm Tsukasa. I run Tsukasa's detective agency." He said as I then look at the priest in their party.

He had a scar on his right eye and pitch black hair, Looking at his eyes their color was white.

"What about you? Mister priest." I asked as he introduced himself.

"Name's Sin." He had nothing to say except that.

"Okay then. Now what about the miss there?" I looked at the girl with blonde hair.

"I'm Luna I'm also known as the Massacrer of the crimson moon" She said as I registered that information to my brain.

"I see. It's nice to meet you all!" I said smiling as I had to ask.

"Aren't you gonna ask about me too?" A girl with black hair looked at me. her eyes were colored in pink.

"Uhh Who are you?" I asked as she then replied.

"I'm Emi." She then looked at me and began rummaging through her bag and pulled out a book titled 'The Legacy of Miyamoto Musashi.' Oh boy....

"Are you really the same Miyamoto Musashi?!" She asked as she pulled out a picture from the book of a young Musashi.

That indeed was me.

"Yeah that's me, I mean I look like the guy don't i? I also told you I was summoned by the tower. Oh and also I'm not the only one whose summoned." I said as I then looked at Haruki.

"Another Historical Figure has been summoned as well alongside me and is planning on eliminating every person on the tower." I said as I then pulled out a cut piece of the Monohoshizao Sasaki Kojiro's Nodachi.

"It appears Sasaki Kojiro has been summoned to kill you all." I said as his eyes widened.

"What? Sasaki Kojiro is going after us?" he asked to make sure of what I said as I nodded.

"Yeah. I managed to stop him by cutting a piece of his sword. Actually I'll show you all something interesting." I said as I then quickly tapped everyone's shoulders and then used a skill [Memory Cinema.] Suddenly we got transported to a cinema room with a screen as I press the Play button.

"You can see my Memory of the fight against Sasaki." I said Smiling.

The screen that was black suddenly began playing the fight.

"So you're here too Musashi!" Sasaki shouted.

One problem with the memory viewing is the person in the memory is blurred out.

of course I set that option on. I don't want them knowing the identity of Sasaki Kojiro yet.

"I assume this means a rematch? Kojiro!" The me in the screen said.

Our blades clashed as we continued fighting.

The sound of metal clashing was echoing through the theater hall.

"Now! I'll finally get to win against you Musashi! get ready...!" Sasaki's sword began glowing.

I pulled out my other sword and they both started glowing.

"As If I'll let you! Kojiro!" I said as we both readied our stances.

"Monohoshi...." "Niten Ichi..." 

We both get our thrills from fights. we were ready to lose our lives here.

"ZAO!" "RYU!" we both shouted at the same time in unison as our attacks clashed and a beam of golden light and purple light merged creating an explosion.

in the end Monohoshizao, The nodachi used by Kojiro broke from the hit.

"Seems like I won." I said as I then grabbed a piece of the Monohoshizao.

"Seems like it." He said as I then told him.

"You can leave now. go fix your sword and come fight me when you're stronger. We're dead people Kojiro. We don't always get a second chance to fight." I said as I wore my kasa and then left.

"I'll remember this... Musashi." He said as the theater screen turned off.

Once it turned off We were back to reality.

"So? Thoughts on the battle?" I asked as They seemed shocked.

"So you really are Miyamoto Musashi.. and you.. fought against Sasaki Kojiro!" Emi who seemed to obviously be an avid fan of history seemed excited.

"I want to see the next duel! Please! I need to see it!!!" She really liked history...

"Of course! I'll beat Kojiro again as always!" I said enthusiastically.

"So what's our mission for this floor?" I asked as Haruki then replied.

"Oh it's a treasure hunt."

. . . This is going to be boring.
