This Honmaru, who had changed masters several times, once again welcomed back their new Inquisitor.

It is said that even in the face of her former companions, she has done a great job of completing the tasks assigned by the government of time, annihilating a huge number of time-tracing marches.

Of course, the sheer number of time-retrospective marches that occurred at the time of the Ikedaya incident seemed like a bug. The Witch Judge had written this suspicion into her report and reported it to the Government of Time.

The government of the time also fully demonstrated their value and trust in the new inquisitor. Almost on the afternoon of the second day after receiving the report of the female interrogator's appearance this time, Kitsunosuke, who was in a position similar to that of a liaison officer, came to Honmaru again.

This time, however, it spoke with the inquisitor behind closed doors for a long time before taking its leave. After that until after dinner, the Female Inquisitor looked as usual. At dinner, he even told the group of Awataguchi shorts about how they fought bravely in the face of the unexpectedly massive march in Shikokuya.

Little shorts: "Wow ~ a good one!!"

One issue of a strike: "......"

Ah, that kind of wording that sounds like a storyteller made up! The plot is exaggerated to the extreme, and only this kind of brother who has a "Nissan halo" on his eyes will believe it—

At some point, he was able to understand a little bit of the habits of the Female Divine Inquisitor. For example, chatting openly with his brothers and coaxing them with fabricated stories that make them incredulous and then awe-inspiring, is also a way for her to relax her spirits and ease her emotions.

…… Now, her heart isn't as easy and light-hearted as it appears on the surface, is she?

A period of Yizhen felt that as a mourning god who was loyal to the current owner, it seemed to ...... It is also obligatory to pay more attention to the concerns of the owner.

However, of course, he could not have asked the female inquisitor directly. Recently, however, perhaps because she wanted to help her younger brother Yakuken become familiar with the operation of the pill as soon as possible, the female inquisitor often appointed Yakuken as a close attendant. It just so happened that when Kitsunosuke came to visit today, the attendant was also a pharmaceutical researcher.

So the first phase of the good brother who cared about his boss (fog!), just before going to bed at night, in one of the rooms occupied by the Awataguchi family—he shared this room with Yakuken, Guku, and Cato, and the daggers were in the other two—and he asked Yaken with concern if Kitsunosuke had said anything strange when he visited today, or had assigned any difficult tasks.

As a result, Yaoken looked at him strangely.

One issue of a strike: ?

The drug research institute paused for a long time before replying, "...... Although I did assign tasks, I also said some things that were of concern...... However, Brother I, shouldn't we just wait for the general to choose a candidate?"

One issue of a strike: ?

Yaoken paused again, as if searching for the right wording.

"It doesn't matter if the content of the task is difficult...... The general only needs to announce the right person. He said.

"In my opinion, under the existing conditions, there is nothing to strengthen in this honmaru...... Everyone is highly trained, and most of the swords have plenty of experience, and it is possible that later newcomers like Shinano will need to practice more, but it is safe to send them to perform tasks with low difficulty...... Whether it is the forging room, the hand room, or even the resources and small judgments, they are all very sufficient, so you don't have to worry about getting injured...... Moreover, the current general is a generous person. Everyone in this pill has a omamori ......."

One issue of a strike: ?

It is true that these are all true, but ...... What does the drug research institute say about this?

The next moment he got the answer.

"So, even if the general is troubled by the mission, you don't need to worry about it?" asked Yaoyan with a puzzled expression.

One issue of a strike: "......"

Cattail looked at the first phase of Yizhen, then looked at the drug research, and then grinned.

"Whew~Pharmaceutical research, you asked a good question~"

Bone: "...... I don't understand at all. ”

One issue of a strike: "......"

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, I just feel the need to find out what is bothering the master, after all...... This new master doesn't seem to be the same as the inquisitors we are familiar with, a ...... It's rare to be so shaken as you are now......" He struggled to find the right words to express himself.

Cattail: "Eh! shaken?!Brother I, do you think so?!"

Bone: "...... Why will it waver. ”

However, this unsatisfactory explanation seems to impress a little pharmaceutical research. He hesitated for a moment and said, "...... General, are you shaken for the special task you are currently facing? ”

Ichijo sighed.

"On the first day I arrived, the owner said that she was once a friend of the Okita Soji of the Shinsengumi, and that she was there when California-kun broke off...... If this is the case, the person who was present at the time of the Ikedaya incident and a friend of Okita Soji could not have been a Boomer of the Choshu Domain, so there is only one conclusion: she was also a member of the Shinsengumi. ”

He looked thoughtful.

“…… And now, if she is sent on a special mission by the government of the time because of the Shinsengumi matter, she will be shaken when she sees her companions back then......"

Yaoyan was silent for a moment and spoke.

“…… In the afternoon, Kitsunosuke came to visit the general and conveyed two tasks. ”

"First, I praised the general for completing his previous mission, and said that the focus of the current attack of the Time-Retro March was at the end of the Edo period, and on the time map developed by the government of time, the focus of the mission fell on the period when the Shinsengumi were active, so it is assumed that the Time-Retro Marching Army will continue to attack the Shinsengumi...... Therefore, it is hoped that the Daisuda will continue to take on the heavy responsibility and carry out special tasks to eliminate the anomaly in the period and map when the Shinsengumi are active. ”

The first issue shook his head.

Yaoyan continued: "The second task is to convey the ordinary task...... In view of the fact that the time-traced march seems to be planning some kind of grand conspiracy recently, and the number of newly recruited inquisitors is large, and the sword training of each Honmaru is not enough, the latest task announced by the government at the time to each Honmaru is company battle. Each Honmaru chooses three teams to go out and fight ten battles in a row, all in all, it sounds like a large-scale drill event in the training ground......"

Yizhen nodded again.

"Is that so. He replied, seemingly immediately leaving the so-called "company warfare" mission behind him, and seriously thinking about what his brother called "the special mission related to the period when the Shinsengumi were active."

However, before the female inquisitor announced the content of the next mission and the list of appearances, even if everyone knew, they could only make their own guesses. For swords that did not come from the end of the Edo period, it was even more difficult to guess the new tasks that were about to be faced or the problems it would cause to female inquisitors.

Ichijo thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't understand it, so he had to frown slightly, put out the light in the room, and lay down in his quilt, still thinking about this series of tasks related to the end of the scene.

“…… Is it really because only the master, the Inquisitor, has a different experience and can use his experience at the time to better complete the task? However, this kind of task can be completed by a powerful and experienced Inquisitor, right? It is nothing more than a battle in various eras...... The swords that this Honmaru has are also owned by many other Honmaru, and the only difference is the owner's own experience—"

When he thinks about it, he always thinks that the more he cares, the more he thinks about it.

Finally, he sighed, closed his eyes, and decided to sleep.

…… Isn't it time to ask the swords of the new selection group tomorrow about the situation? After all, judging from the master's habit of assigning a battle list during this time, he is easily among them - which is also easy to understand.

Among the Four Flower Sword, Jiang Xuezuo hates fighting, Tsurumaru Kuninaga has a vague hostility and rejection towards the new God Judge, Yingmaru actually prefers to drink tea and look at the scenery, and spend his life leisurely;

But if this series of special tasks is really important, maybe you should understand the background in advance, so that you can cooperate with the various arrangements of the master when you go out into battle, right?

Thinking about it so seriously, Ichiki decided that he would find a new selection of swords tomorrow to talk to.

…… Now, however, he didn't know which of the Shinsengumi swords was trying to talk to the Female Inquisitor.

After taking a shower, she returned to her room, and as soon as she pushed open the shoji door, the female inquisitor smiled at the same time as she was surprised.

"Why are you again?"

She was slightly stunned at first, but soon regained her original calmness, and entered the room without changing her face, and calmly closed the shoji door with her backhand, and continued to wipe her long half-wet hair with a towel, while asking with a smile:

"Are you here to sleep again today?"

Izumi Shoukanji: "......"

Unlike her Yu Yu, Izumi Mori Kanejo, who was kneeling upright on the tatami mat, had a little apprehension in his original expression, and when she opened the door and found that she was in the room, but he closed the door so casually and walked in, and asked such a sentence in such a joking, the expression on his face became red and white, and the color was extremely brilliant.

"Don't, don't make fun of me, Yukiba-kun!!" he whispered in annoyance.

However, the female inquisitor who had already walked in front of him, after hearing this, the expression on her face froze slightly.

“…… It's troublesome to say that~" She sighed in a long voice, and then sat down cross-legged in front of him, throwing the towel aside.

Unlike Izumi's upright sitting, she sits casually cross-legged, with the elbow of her right hand still on her knee, her head slightly tilted, and her hand supporting her chin. However, the way she stared at him was intense.

"When I heard that title, I knew that today's events must not be able to be fooled by the jokes of the bedtime. She said with a grin.

"So what do you want to talk to me about, Kane-san, about the Shinsengumi mission?"

Izumi Mamoru Kaneta was also slightly suffocated, but he was able to come here at this moment with a little recklessness, and of course he was ready to come to his senses.

"Exactly. He coughed and replied solemnly.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether he should say what he was going to say next—but Kane-san had always been a man of action, and after a moment's pause, he said the real reason for coming to the Female Judge's bedroom today under the banner of Beddam.

"Next time you have a mission like this, please let me go with you, Yukiba-kun!"

The female judge showed a look of surprise - but for some reason, a sense of understanding suddenly surged in Izumi Shoukan's heart, as if she knew that she had already guessed her intentions in advance, and now showing such a look was just to find a good step for the next refusal - sure enough, the next moment, he saw her smile and touch her chin, and sighed: "I just said, this time it's trouble~"

The author has something to say: October 15:

In the past two days, my legs and feet have been very weak, and I feel that every step I take is as uncomfortable as stepping on the edge of a knife.

The Achilles tendon is so important...... It doesn't seem to have any effect after the treatment, so it's really distressing.

The family is moving, and the elders have saved up their belongings for 20 years...... It's exhausting to pack up.

And when you have to clean up the things in the cupboard, you inevitably have to stand all the time, and if you keep standing, the inflammation of the Achilles tendon will explode, and then you will fall into a vicious circle......

Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention to it~~

Tomorrow is about to start to have a new brain, and today I will continue to pack up my things during the day to move, and I have already bought thirty huge boxes alone, and I am distressed.

Also, who guessed what hints in this chapter hhh
