The Last Tokugawa

As they prepared to enter the fourth floor, Ritsuka requested to accompany them.

"You want to come with me to the fourth level? Are you sure it's okay? I feel like Kama is really motivated, which is different from how you guys described him as lazy and unmotivated."

The third-floor Kama is clearly different from what Ritsuka described. The Ooku she encountered before was mostly troublesome traps and labyrinths, and Kama basically didn't do much except block the way at the final checkpoint.

But Bai Mo's situation was clearly different. From the very beginning, Kama personally took part in the event. Even on the third level, she conceptually changed the original maze into a banquet in order to help Bai Mo break her abstinence from alcohol.

The good news is that, at least during this banquet, Bai Mo confirmed that most of the people involved in the Ooku incident were safe.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Parvati also showed a look of doubt. After Indra's clever scheme that led to Kama's mistaken execution, she had become extremely passive and unmotivated.

After all, he was burned alive after accepting the mission. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't keep the position of the God of Love and that he couldn't defeat Indra, Parvati would have suspected that Kama would have simply given up.

Although she created the maze, organizing a banquet of this scale was no easy feat.

"Has she said anything to you? At least from the information I have so far, I can't figure out why Kama would care about you so much?"

"... Although it's somewhat shameless, Kama seems to know my past, since I came into this world, and even said... that I'm a fan?"

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Ritsuka immediately revealed a subtle smile.

"Hey? Fans, Brother Bai, have you ever done live streaming before? If so, wouldn't this be a breeze? If Dr. Roman met that True Magic girl, Mery, he'd probably offer up all his rice."

Although the purse is now under the control of the Queen of Sheba.

"Go away, just listen to that nonsense and forget about it. Taking it seriously would be disastrous. And if they had some kind of powerful fans, that would be even more unsettling, wouldn't it?"

"It's alright. Since you're drawing fire now, Brother Bai, my operation is safe, right? Besides, the reason we're going to the fourth floor... is because there are some strange things there."

Looking back now, there was a very obvious wall there...

Well, it's one of those walls that are extremely obvious in the game, the kind that clearly indicate a hidden path. I didn't search for it last time, but now that I think about it, it's the key.

And look."

Ritsuka showed the inro in her hand, and Bai Mo immediately understood what Ritsuka meant. Ritsuka currently has a total of fourteen inro of the Tokugawa Shogun.

Historically, the Tokugawa Shogunate had a total of fifteen shoguns, and the missing one, the Inro, was the Inro of the fifteenth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu.

The last shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and also the one who returned power to the emperor, symbolized the end of the more than two-hundred-year-old Tokugawa Shogunate.

Ritsuka suspected that the last Tokugawa Yoshinobu's inro was hidden there. As the last Tokugawa and the one who witnessed the end of the Tokugawa dynasty, his inro might have had extraordinary significance.

Bai Mo frowned slightly, somewhat skeptical of this claim. Even if Tokugawa Yoshinobu was indeed the last shogun, he was still part of the Tokugawa faction. Could this man truly exert his power to oppose the Tokugawa?

However, it is indeed necessary to go to that place. After all, Kasuga-no-Tsubone has already done some things in the Inro. Regardless of whether Tokugawa Yoshinobu has the ability, it is not necessarily a bad thing to add this.

And so, Bai Mo and his group stepped into the fourth floor.

Unlike the drastic changes on the third floor, the fourth floor remained Ooku, India- style labyrinth. This time, however, Kama was nowhere to be seen. Bai Mo and Ritsuka exchanged a glance, then Shiramo hoisted Ritsuka onto his shoulder and ran towards the so-called hidden wall.

A striking white wall appeared before them, jarringly different from the overall architectural style. It was like a Japanese ronin suddenly appearing in a medieval knightly garrison.

Isn't this too obvious?

"Indeed... but we're already here."

As Ritsuka spoke, she unleashed a Grand attack on the wall, which, as expected, was a hidden wall. Beyond that was a pitch-black space.

The lights came on, and the place resembled the core room of a large research facility, with a furnace-like structure standing prominently in the center. As a surge of power erupted, a colossal ghost emerged from the ground.

"A hostile reaction has been confirmed. Are they guards protecting this place?"

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami Munenori silently drew his sword, but the next moment, Bai Mo waved his hand, and the absolute suppressive power of the Underworld immediately rendered the huge ghost unable to move.

"Alright, disappear now."

As Bai Mo's somewhat ethereal voice fell, the enormous ghost seemed to have heard some irresistible command and vanished instantly.

"That's it... resolved?" Ritsuka suddenly felt that all the time she had spent in the labyrinth had been unnecessary.

"The authority of the Underworld has a very strong ability to suppress the dead or spirits, but commanding ghosts is not Kama's ability, is it?"

Upon hearing Bai Mo's question, Parvati replied:

"That's not it, it should be Mara's ability, but this is actually a good thing. If Kama used the power of the goddess of love to command living people or even the Heroic Spirit of Chaldea to fight, we would be in trouble."

If those people were considered enemies, then taking action would be far less convenient.
