After returning to the Kujo Mansion, it was not easy to deal with the menacing Kujo Michiji, and when he returned to his room, Yanagizumi slammed the door shut, feeling tired for a while.
"Really...... How long will this be the end of life? She let out a long sigh, pinched her brow with her tired hand, and then walked to the bedside, put the lantern and snack paper bag she was carrying on the cupboard, sat down on the edge of the bed, and turned on the oil lamp on the low table.
For a moment, she sat there, staring blankly at the four or five bags of snacks stacked up.
"Yijun...... Whether or not I'm going to get you involved, that's a question......" she said as if to herself.
"Originally, it was meant to direct your gaze in other directions...... That way you won't notice what's really going on behind it...... But before you know it, have you come too far......"
She reached out and took the paper packets that had been folded and tied together with strings, and put them on her knees, and began to untie the knots slowly.
But before she could untie the first knot, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
"Hehehe...... What's so troublesome about the main hall? You've sighed three or four times before you knew it—that's a rare occurrence. ”
Liu Quan: "......"
She couldn't help but sigh again, put down the snack paper bag in her hand, and pressed her temple with her hand again.
"If you appear out of nowhere, it will scare people - I think this kind of thing should be something that Tsurumimaruden would do, right?"
She rarely mentioned other sword men who had not appeared in this world, and the Three Days Moon Sect was slightly stunned when she heard this.
"Hahaha, is there still so many other people in the heart of the main hall, is this really surprising to me, an old man? He said with a smile.
Liu Quan took a deep breath.
"How about we talk, Lord Mikazuki?" she asked, bluntly.
Sanri Moon Zongjin seemed to be a little surprised, and after a moment of silence, he bowed his head slightly, walked to the side of the bed, and sat down beside her. As he sat down, the hem of his wide blue hunting robe rubbed against the bedding on the bed, making a rattling sound.
Liu Quan maintained the posture of looking at him sideways, watching him fold the hem of the hunting suit, sit on the edge of the bed, and finally put his hands on his knees, the wide sleeves of the hunting suit were naturally spread out and hung on the sides, and the posture of the whole person was extremely beautiful.
Liu Quan got up and poured him a cup of tea at the table, walked back and put it in the palm of his hand, and sat down in his original position again.
The Three Days Moon Sect raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled softly.
"Oh? What a surprise...... It's been a long time since the main hall has taken such good care of me, an old man. Looks like you're talking to me about a very serious issue today. ”
He said this in a laid-back tone. Liu Quan barely resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"I'm no longer your Inquisitor...... No, it's better to say that I've never really been the Inquisitor to whom you or Kane-sang should be allegiance. She said quietly.
"I am not the one to awaken you, and I have no spiritual power for you to borrow. In the end, you have made a choice that is contrary to history and betrays your trust...... While I have no regrets about this choice, I am very sorry that it hurt you. ”
Her tone was straightforward and frank, and without warning, the old grievances suddenly resurfaced and spread out in front of the two of them.
"For me like this, you still want to stay by my side, there must be your own reasons. She said in a calm tone.
"Moreover, you have an almost infinite life, you have spent an extremely long time in the world, and you have been revered by the world for thousands of years...... I think it's unbelievable that you, who have seen all kinds of things in the world, will impulsively stay because of some shallow feelings. ”
She turned her face away and looked frankly at his handsome face. This man has an impeccable appearance, a gentle and powerful aura, and although he often smiles tolerantly, his bottom line is not to be challenged - doesn't she see this very clearly?
Faced with a handsome face that still had a playful gentle smile but always had an unfathomable meaning, she paused and threw out the words that she had been thinking about for a while, but had never been able to make up her mind about whether it was appropriate to say such frankly.
"I have a lot of speculations about your intentions...... However, as you can see, I have important things to accomplish here. So why don't we take a step back and keep the peace for the time being? I can guarantee that I will not run against history this time – no, rather, my mission this time is to keep history on track, and for that I have to cut off those derailed paths......"
Her deep dark eyes, still clear, looked straight into his face without flinching, as if to see the deepest part of his crescent-shaped eyes all the time, as if to do so she could unreservedly show her unprecedented sincerity and win his trust—
"So, until my mission is complete, can I ask you...... What about being at peace with me so that I can fulfill my mission?"
As she said this, her body unconsciously leaned forward slightly, as if to get closer to him. There was a stubborn glint in those bright black eyes, just like the one he had seen for the last time he had seen in the fields of Hakodate, which he had once been familiar with.
The Three Days Moon Sect silently looked at the young woman in front of him.
...... No, she shouldn't be too young from that time until now—at least not a "girl". However, when I looked so close to her at this moment, I found that the skin on her face was still smooth and elastic, except for the faint laugh lines that appeared because of her love of laughter, there were almost no other lines caused by the passage of time.
He looked deeply at the beautiful face loved by God, and was silent for a long time.
The clear tea, which was still steaming just now, gradually cooled in the cup in his palm.
He watched silently as the expression on her face changed from earnest and frank to full of question marks—as if he couldn't guess his thoughts, and refused to give up—and then, with a silent laugh, he suddenly asked, "...... And then what?"
She was slightly stunned. “...... Huh?"
Before she could seriously think about what this black-bellied old man was asking meaninglessly, the next second her eyes went dark-
The thick porcelain teacup filled with tea suddenly rolled from the slender fingers of the fingers to the ground, and landed on the carpet on the ground with a small muffled sound, and all the tea splashed on the intricately patterned carpet, wetting a small piece.
The sleeves and hem of the wide blue hunting coat rolled up with the reflexive slumping of its owner, forming a wonderful arc in mid-air, and then falling lightly, spreading naturally between the pale futon, almost covering the young girl who had just sat beside him, but was now overwhelmed by his assault.
The female inquisitor was caught off guard, revealing a look of astonishment.
However, as soon as she moved her hands and feet to struggle, she was firmly suppressed by Fu Fushen. Her pupils instantly widened with astonishment, and she seemed to want to perform some unusual trick for a moment, but in the end she simply gave up.
She was now pressed under him, and the surprise in her expression slowly turned to helplessness. She sighed and whispered to herself, "...... Can't you just talk well, do you have to use this posture ......?!"
Fu Fushen chuckled softly.
"It seems that if you are able to hear the true words of the main hall, you will be able to hear the truth of the main hall. Hehehe. He said with a smile in the same tone as usual.
She looked even more helpless.
"I haven't deceived you about anything, Lord Mirizuki...... There was a reason why I insisted on fighting against historical facts and saving the deputy chief—"
Before she could finish her sentence, they all heard a stumble of footsteps in the hallway.
"Noriko!what's wrong——?"
Without even knocking on the door first, and without hesitating much in front of Kujo Noriko's closed door, Kujo Doji slammed the door open.
He came so fast that it made it seem as if he was right next door, and he could run through the door as soon as he pushed the door. But in reality, his room was at the other end of the hallway. When Liu Quan returned to the room tonight, he also confirmed in advance that Kujo Daozhi had returned to the room, so he could confidently and boldly negotiate with the Three Sun Moon Sect in his room - although in the end, Fu Fushen, who did not play cards according to common sense, took advantage of the man's size advantage to force him, but Liu Quan was not helpless to counter - but now everything is over, because Kujou Daozhi actually broke in before the two of them had time to react!
Liu Quan felt a pang of chagrin.
Maybe it was because even with a layer of carpet, the Japanese-style wooden floor underneath was enough to carry the muffled sound of the thick porcelain teacup that had just fallen to the ground with a little weight to a long distance, and she was actually shocked that the Three Days Moon Sect had attacked her again without warning without having time to think about it so much, counting the time that the two of them had wasted talking after that was just enough time for Kujo Michiji to rush here from his own room to see what was going on!
Of course, she knew that except for her, no one else in this world could see the Three Days and Moon Sect. However, she couldn't explain why she collapsed on the bed with her clothes on—it would have been even worse if Michiji Kujo had just noticed the fact that her limbs were stiff and seemed to be invisibly restrained.
She immediately bent her knee and pushed against the side of Fu Fushen's leg lightly.
The Three Days Moon Sect is worthy of being a black-bellied old man who has been in the scene for a long time, and in the face of this sudden situation, he only moved a little, and now she gently pushed her knees, and she got up and sat aside, and even showed a little interesting expression, smiling at how this fallen female god judge was going to solve the crisis in front of her.
Liu Quan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and stretched his waist, Shi Shiran sat up, staring at Kujo Daozhi who was standing at the door with a surprised expression.
“...... What are you doing here at such a late hour? Lord Chungshun didn't reprimand you tonight, did he?"
The author has something to say: April 15:
The battle is all a lie! My king was fortunate enough to install Kakaka and other knives yesterday, but today he only put on small shorts! His face was so black that he had nothing to say.
I feel like we're getting closer and closer to Grandpa's BE!
Although I really want to irresponsibly write about the plot of brewing grandpa's sauce (dirt!), but he won't come to my honmaru even if he dies, which makes people desperate...
In short, I hope that the two chapters will solve the plot of peaceful coexistence with grandpa, and then open up all kinds of conspiracy theories hhh
