Chapter 454: Real vs Fake
Sasaki Kojiro.
He knew about the Heavenly Tower. He told her that this world was real. He told her that he was aware of his own death—that he had experienced it.
Marta needed a second to breathe and think. A hand to her temple, she started thinking. "Hold on, hold on, so...if we’re in Yomi, an afterlife...and you’re the real Sasaki Kojiro who knows about the Heavenly Tower when that shouldn’t be possible...and...and...Izanami is allowing me, a foreigner, to take from her realm, then...then you were here. You were in Yomi and you were brought...here...?"
Sasaki Kojiro took off his mask. The bird features that had brought them here faded away. The wings, the feathers, everything. He was back to being devilishly pretty. "So it seems."
"A bottomless pit..." Marta proceeded to creep over to the edge of the floating mini island. Up, down, left, and right, there was nothing but void. Somehow, she could still in this dark void. It made no sense. "A void...an end after entering a cave..."
The spectacled blonde glanced over at the white portal in the middle of all this.
"A piece of Yomi was ripped and brought here. On that piece of Yomi was the land we ventured, the monsters, and...you, Sasaki Kojiro."
He shrugged. "If that is what it is, then it is. I myself cannot make sense of it."
He was but a humble samurai. He swung his sword. He experienced life. The matter of gods and realms and dimensions? He did not have the slightest clue or concept. He was hardly literate from Marta’s understanding.
