Izumi Shouji: "What ......!"

Kunihiro Horikawa grabbed one of his arms and shouted excitedly, "Kane-san!

Izumi Mamoru Kanetei replied in a rough voice: "Ah, I know, I know, it's normal, it's normal to be Mr. Hijikata, right? After all, he was a swordsman at the time......

Listening to the conversation between the two of them in a natural tone, Jiurou on the side repeated the name in confusion.

"Earthwork...... Haven't you heard of it...... Is it a reclusive master of swordsmanship......" he thought earnestly.

Izumi Gozen smiled.

"yes. She said, "It's a master swordsman who lives in seclusion in Ezo. ”

Kuro: "...... Ezo?"

Izumi replied casually, "Originally, it was in the capital...... Later, maybe I went to Ezo to live in seclusion. ”

Suddenly, she raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Fujiwara Taiheng, who was standing alone, as if he didn't want to join the crowd and the social chat.

“...... Ezo might be a good place to retreat. She added slowly.

Jiulang was stunned.

"Eh, are you suggesting that I go to Ezo too?"

Izumi smiled and replied, "No, that's not the case. ”

Kuro: "......"

I feel that the topic suddenly became a little heavy, and I couldn't continue it, and it was swollen and broken!

There was another brief, eerie silence.

In the end, it was Izumi Gozen who broke the silence as if nothing had happened.

"In that case, it's time for us to go. She turned and looked at the blue sky, which was bright and clear again.

Everyone else seemed a little surprised.

UNEXPECTEDLY, AFTER SHE SAID THIS, THE FIRST PERSON TO REACT WAS ACTUALLY HINOE.

He blinked and asked, "Where are you going, Izumi Gozen?"

This question sounds a little strange - since she came to the Infinite Light Temple with Fujiwara Yasuhiro to see off Miko, although there were branches in the past and everyone had to fight hard again, but now that Miko has returned to another world and everything has settled, shouldn't Izumi Gozen return to Hiraisenkan with Fujiwara Taiheng again?

KURO ALSO REACTED TO HINOE'S MEANING. He was so shocked that he seemed to stutter a little.

"You—Didn't you even want to go back to Hiraizumi...... but, but that day at Taisha, weren't you...... Already ......"

Izumi Gozen coughed lightly, not looking like he wanted to bring up the topic. She quickly turned her gaze to the other side, looking at the artificial lake in the courtyard and the vermilion arch bridge over the lake, and said rigidly in a tone without ups and downs: "...... Kamakura Hall has officially sent an envoy to Hiraizumi, bringing me a letter from my father asking me to return to Kamakura. ”

Everyone exclaimed, "Huh!?", and even the always meticulous Musashibo Benkei couldn't help but be slightly moved, and the one who could still maintain the same indifferent attitude in the courtyard was the owner of the silver, Fujiwara Taiheng, in addition to Rokka and Gin.

Kurou didn't seem to know what to say for a while. He laughed stiffly, grabbed his hair, and said as if embarrassed, "Ah...... Yes, yes......"

Probably because he couldn't stand his embarrassment, Benqing forcibly took the topic away and finally relieved him.

“...... It was really, really, unexpectedly. ”

His voice was unusually gentle. The suspicious look just now has long disappeared without a trace. He walked over and stood next to Kurou and said, "In that case...... Let's go back to Hiraizumi first. Maybe Taiheng Hall and Izumi Gozen should discuss this matter well......"

Kuro: "Ah?!...... Yes, yes, yes, we should have a good discussion!

Kurou scribbled his head in greetings to Izumi Gomae, and hurried out of the Infinite Light Temple as if his eyebrows were burning.

...... I probably don't know what attitude or expression to use to face this shocking news, or to face both parties involved in this news.

Benkei followed. The rest of the eight leaves also left with Jiulang.。

The "six flowers" in front of Izumi Gogo are still standing in place. Yet, none of them came to urge their master.

The same goes for silver. After sending off Miko, he seemed to have lowered his sense of existence to a very low level, standing quietly on the sidelines, watching everyone, and even when Kuro was surprised by Izumi's decision to overturn the wedding ceremony held at Taisha and return to Kamakura, he still stood there without a word, without a wave.

And his master, the new head of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, although he also maintained an expressionless posture like him, but there seemed to be an indescribable emotion flashing in those dark eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but Izumi let out a slight sigh.

She turned from the beautiful man-made lake, met the dark eyes of Yasuhiro Fujiwara with unknown meaning, and slowly walked in front of him.

"Tomorrow, the Kamakura envoy will visit you and officially inform you of my decision. She said.

After a pause, she said the following words in a solemn and cold tone.

"I will follow the will of Kamakuraden and return to Kamakura. ”

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

Hearing such ultimatum-like words, he still did not speak.

As usual, he had a grim look on his face, his arms folded around his chest, and his gaze fixed on her face like a falcon.

As if he couldn't speak, Izumi smiled awkwardly, his eyes flickered, and he said again:

“...... Since we're leaving, it's okay to tell you now......"

"I'm indeed the eyeliner sent by Kamakuraden. ”

Though she was confessing her terrible sins, her voice was still gentle and calm, like a warm breeze blowing through the water at noon.

"From now on, though, you don't have to worry about me doing anything bad to Oshu......" she said half-jokingly, and then she straightened up and looked back into his bottomless eyes.

"Now, Oshu is yours, Tayheng. ”

Unexpectedly, she didn't use an honorific to speak to him anymore.

"Take responsibility for the war that has already begun, and put an end to it. If you want to do something, just let it go—"

She said.

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: ?!

As she said this, the cold, hard and unbreakable expression on his face finally loosened, and he looked stunned.

"You're ......!"

He stopped just saying one word, but his eyes flickered, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Izumi seemed to sense his reaction, too, and stopped, as if to hear what he was going to say. However, she waited patiently for a minute, but he did not speak. So she sighed and found a new topic for this barely lasting conversation.

"Recently, the hearts of the people in Oju have been fluctuating...... Even if it's your own territory, you should be careful when you act......"

Fujiwara Yasuhiro finally answered.

"Ahh ...... You don't have to worry about all this. ”

Those dark eyes stared at her quietly.

"I'm not ignorant of the dangers that can be on the way......

Izumi Gozen seemed to be unable to bear it.

She asked in a slightly reproachful tone:

“...... So, haven't you already guessed that there is danger here, why do you have to come?...... Is that the Son of God so important in your heart?"

It is rare that in the face of such cross-examination, Fujiwara Taiheng did not get angry.

He was silent for a moment and replied coldly, "...... It's none of your business. ”

Izumi Gozen seemed to be stunned for a moment and smiled.

It was as if he had said exactly the same thing the first time he met him here, in Oshu, under his rule.

That's it, too.

The task has been successfully completed. The earthen bell, which warned of danger, also stopped ringing. At this point, there is a beginning and an end, right?

Izumi Gozen...... No, in the future, it will no longer be "Izumi Gozen".

The female inquisitor who was now about to return to the identity of "Willow Spring" was silent for a moment and laughed softly.

“...... It's none of me. ”

There was a sigh in her smiling voice.

"It should be okay now. ”

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

...... Ah, this man was so cold all the way to the end.

Maybe only the hard-working and powerful heroine Miko in the original work can conquer this person's cold heart.

Liu Quan gave him one last look as if saying goodbye.

“...... Then I'll go. She said.

However, as soon as she turned around, she heard the cold Governor of Oshu behind her.

“...... Walk with those 'six flowers' of yours. ”

Liu Quan was stunned, and felt that the answer to this question was not obvious, but in this atmosphere, for some reason, he asked so knowingly, but she couldn't laugh a little.

Finally, she replied briefly, "...... Yes. ”

Then, she heard him behind her begin to pinch the knuckles of his fingers, clicking them.

Oh, as if there was such a setting in the original work.

Fujiwara Taiheng,Whenever I'm irritable, I will subconsciously do this.。

...... I would love to say "don't die" to him, but that was not allowed.

Just as she couldn't ask why the witch costume she had left over from the last time she was here was neatly folded and placed in the cupboard in his room.

It's the after-effects of the chaos of time and space...... So, how much do Fujiwara Yasuhiro remember about the memories that happened before and should have been erased?

In retrospect, I didn't do any spoilers or make a statement. Fujiwara Taiheng didn't know anything about his fate of dying in a month......

Liu Quan suddenly said without looking back: "...... Next time, think about the consequences before you want to go on an adventure. ”

The tone of the sentence sounded a bit like he was going to be angry, and the tone was a little heavy. However, Fujiwara Yasuhiro remained unanimous.

He just stubbornly remained silent. Always be silent.

Liu Quan suddenly felt a little like sighing.

"You are the commander of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, don't always put yourself in a dangerous situation......"

She didn't look back, but said earnestly in this earnest tone of admonition.

A little admonition to a man who will never see again, a man who will soon die...... It's okay, right?

"Next time, no one will come again. ”

She said.

"At that time, there will be no gods, no more Yaba......"

She was just about to brutally say the vicious line like the villain boss "No one will come to help you anymore", but she heard Fujiwara Taiheng hum softly.

"yes. He nodded and said.

"One day, no one will come to my rescue, and as the leader of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, I can only make my own decisions in the face of great difficulties......"

His voice was calm. However, if you listen carefully, you can hear a different meaning in the calm and almost cold wording.

Just as the sun will sink in the west, the autumn leaves will fall, the years will fade, and the fate of the doomed will be irretrievable by manpower, but the melancholy caused by it cannot be dissolved, he said.

"I was the only one in that Gara Palace. ”

“...... Wasn't that how it was from the beginning. ”

"I was living like that then, and now, of course, I can. ”

The author has something to say: August 10:

Let's talk a little bit about the ancient today.

Speaking of which, the deputy chief finally went north to Ezo, and Taehyung also planned to go to Ezo after the fall of Oshu, but he failed to reach Ezo and was killed by his subordinate general Jiro Kawada on the way.

Kawada also brought his head to Minamoto Yorito, but Minamoto Yoritomo first said that Kawada was a traitor and had no discipline, so he cut Kawada down, and then nailed Taeheng's head to the pillar for a long time.

So now there is the tomb of Tae-hyung's father, Xiu-hyung, but Tae-hyung's own tomb only buries his head. Later, his tomb was excavated, and the seeds of the ancient lotus flower were found in the coffin with the head, and after the successful trial, there is now a lotus pond specially planted with ancient lotus near Chusonji Temple in Hiraizumi.

Also, Taehyung was surprised when the sister said, "Oshu is yours now", because due to the confusion of time and space, he still vaguely remembered what the sister said to him after killing his father the previous week.
