In the evening, the hall was filled with sumptuous dishes.

She said, "I'll make some good dishes to entertain everyone," but in the end, there was only one kind of food that the Female Inquisitor made.

Rice balls.

She makes a variety of fillings, and the taste and appearance are all excellent, and it looks like she is showing off her skills, but no one seems to be able to guess why she chose a simple and simple dish like rice balls in order to show off her skills.

Still, the dinner went on very pleasantly, at least on the surface.

Honmaru's current inquisitor, Kiyohara Yukiba, still sits on the highest main seat. And Hitomi Gojo, the founder of this Honmaru, had a special seat for her next to Shimotsurumaru Kuninaga's seat.

At first, the atmosphere was a little stiff. But as the banquet progressed, the wine became more drunk, and seeing the current God Inquisitor's relaxed expression and looking at everyone with a smile, everyone gradually let go.

Some people talked and laughed, some people played fists, some people played small games, and some people said to be precise, Jiro Taito, who was too drunk, actually knocked on the wine glass with a chopstick and hummed a song.

"Today's thoughts are thousands, dancing like autumn butterflies. ”

It turned out to be all of them.

Kiyohara Yukiha's gaze, which was sitting in the main seat, flickered slightly.

Speaking of Dutoyi, of course, she reflexively remembered the dark night when the jackdaws were flying, the shadow cast on the ground in the dim moonlight of the main hall of Nishi Honganji, and the arrogant general of the Nishiki, Chikage Kazama, after bragging about his inhuman force value, handed her a letter that a friend of his wanted to give her.

When she unfolded the paper, she saw only a line of scribbled handwriting. From the weak strokes of the pen, she could almost see how bad the writer was when he wrote this line of Duyi.

"Three thousand world crows are killed, and they will sleep with you until dawn."

That world is now far away from her.

Three thousand worlds, where should they go?

Her gaze deepened, and she slanted thoughtfully onto the ground in front of her.

At this time, she heard Jiro change again, and continued to drag on and hum in a long tune

"The heart is clear, and it is as close as the sky when you return. ”

She couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips slightly.

Fortunately, fortunately, Jiro has not yet sung the Natoyi that Takasugi sang upstairs in the dead alley of Kyoto that year. That's too bad for the scenery, and it doesn't sound like a good omen.

Meet, meet, cry, laugh and laugh are gone. At the end of the wild wind and the autumn wind, a period of parting.

Just as she thought of the words "one period and one meeting", a Kitsunosuke suddenly ran in from outside the door.

It must have been the one who came to summon the news in the afternoon, because it ran straight to Willow Spring, raised its head, and said in that admiring tone, "Good night, Lord God Inquisitor"

Willow Springs""

She had to immediately put a business foggy smile on her face, and said with a smile, "It's hard work." You're visiting here for the second time today, and what is this time for?"

Kitsunosuke said solemnly, "On the orders of Lord Fujisawa, I would like to ask you, Lord Divine Inquisitor, to report to the newly established Non-Current World Administration Headquarters Building at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to report on your work at this stage and discuss your future plans. The teleportation coordinates of the new building will be set for you directly on the teleportation array later. Please be sure to be on time."

As soon as its voice fell, the air in the hall froze.

Most of the swords and mourners who appeared in the form of adults stopped what they were doing, those who were eating put down their chopsticks, those who were talking stopped talking, and those who were drinking put down their glasses and looked at Kiyohara Yukiha on the main seat in unison.

Most of the little daggers were playing, and they were almost immediately stopped by this strange atmosphere, and they all turned their heads to look at the current inquisitor of Honmaru in a daze.

In this atmosphere that almost oppressed everyone to hold their breath and became viscous as if it were substance, Kiyohara Yukiha suddenly curled the corners of his lips.

However, there was no smile in the depths of her eyes.

She tilted her head, propped one cheek with her right hand, and slowly replied, "Yes." ”

Kitsunosuke was a little confused, sensing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, and tilted its head, its voice less certain.

"Lord God Inquisitor"

Its call seemed to suddenly lift some suffocating magic, and Kiyohara Yukiha suddenly bent his eyebrows and smiled.

"Ah, I see. She sat up straight and waved her right hand at it very casually.

"Will go. She said, "Just tell Fujisawa-kun." ”

Kitsunosuke replied, as if he felt full of questions, but it was not good to continue to ask, hesitated for a moment, feeling that he had received a reply from the inquisitor and that he should go back immediately to restore his life, and he said goodbye to the female inquisitor, turned and ran away again.

This little episode seems to have completely made the current inquisitor of Honmaru feel a burst of interest. She didn't stay long, and she left the table early, citing the excuse that "it's so annoying to have to go out early tomorrow morning, so I'd better go and rest now in order not to be late."

However, she didn't go to rest immediately, but went into the Divine Inquisitor's bath and took a good bath. Even when she was in the bath, she whistled and played a little song, which sounded very pleasant.

No one knew that the song was the song she had learned from the projections she had seen during the short few days of vacation when she returned to the "Endless Palace".

It is a song written by the people of the present world to the earth.

The last page

If I can continue to write with you

Gentle light

It also makes me feel dazzling

At the beginning of life, love is overflowing

Radiance sustains you and me

Sing our story with joy and will be passed on to the world

Survive the battle

Keep looking for your own light

Coming out of the bath, since Honmaru was still summer and the temperature was very pleasant, Yanagizumi just casually wore a T-shirt and shorts, stepped on a pair of flip-flops, and the half-wet long drape was scattered behind her head, and she wiped her head with a towel as she walked to her room.

She walked briskly, and continued to hum the unfinished part of the song.

Look up at the stars in the bright night sky

Reminiscing about the good old days

The tiny star shavings

It's the other side of my memory

When will you be able to have more

Maybe it's because she's been soaking for too long, and Honmaru has quieted down at the moment.

In fact, on the way to the bath, she had heard the chaotic footsteps of everyone coming out of the large public bath not far away, and the sound of chaotic footsteps on the promenade outside, but she didn't want to go out to face them at that time.

However, if she had been alone in the Divine Inquisitor's bathroom for a long time, and she didn't make a sound, some careful swordsmen would have been worried. It was precisely because of this idea that she deliberately chose to start humming at that time.

Waiting until the footsteps outside completely disappeared for a while, she felt that this should mean that everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest after taking a shower, and then Shi Shiran went out of her bathroom.

However, as soon as she hummed the next sentence, "Time mercilessly alters that tomorrow will all be taken away", and when she turned a corner, she suddenly appeared, wearing a yukata with her hands in her sleeves, and standing there with her back against a pillar in the corridor

Liu Quan stopped in shock.

"What are you doing standing here," she asked.

In fact, this is knowingly asked. Yizhen didn't have the habit of traveling at night, standing here at this time, obviously waiting for her.

Sure enough, seeing her appear around the corner, and stopped not moving forward, Yiyi paused, stood up straight, walked straight towards her, and stopped in front of her.

Liu Quan blinked.

"Is it here to comfort me? Ah, I'm really reliable," she laughed.

However, Yizhen did not laugh in the first phase.

"I'm not here to comfort you. His clear voice sounded in the quiet of the night, "Because you were the commander of this Honmaru in the first place." ”

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face turned into a bitter smile.

"Is it okay to say that, don't forget, whether it's a first-term kun or most of the swords of Honmaru, they were summoned to the present world by Miss Hitomi."

Yizhen's eyes flickered slightly, and his face showed incomprehension.

"That's right, but, now it's you, the master here," he said.

"Even if everyone was more excited than usual, it was just because they were reunited with Hitomi after a long absence. After all, Miss Hitomi, who everyone thought was gone, is no longer alive."

Liu Quan nodded.

"But, now she's back. She sighed silently, her gaze averting from her face and down to the floor of the corridor.

"You have fought for so long to get her back, even driving out several successors, and even I came here because there was no suitable person for the government to take over except me. She smiled wryly, and then chuckled thoughtfully.

"I'm still a little confident in my charm, but I don't dare to compare myself to the founder of this honmaru," she said, reverting to her usual half-joking lightheartedness.

"After all, white moonlight and white rice, I'm still very self-aware"

In a world a long time ago, the cat girl named Neko once said it.

Said she was like a rice ball made of delicious rice.

However, no matter how delicious it is, rice can only be rice, which can be made into rice balls, but it cannot be the moon.

A "what" in one issue

He obviously didn't get to the meme. But Liu Quan didn't seem to explain to him, but nodded slightly at him, and planned to leave here and go back to his room.

She walked around him and took a few steps forward, something that would have been almost impossible before.

Suddenly, a shake suddenly turned around.

"Yukiba-kun," he shouted.

Liu Quan's footsteps stopped again. She turned her head in surprise and looked at the eldest man of the Awataguchi family, who had always been so gentle and firm, like a real prince.

The first issue paused for a moment, as if hesitating to say the next words. But soon, he made a decision.

"Please stay," he shouted.

Willow Springs

She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The words blurted out, but as if the last bit of cautious self-restraint in Yizhen's heart had been broken, he looked at her countenance, his expression earnest, his gaze straight.

"Please stay. Here's your honmaru," he said in a sincere tone.

Liu Quan didn't answer, but just turned to the side and looked back at him for a long time.

The warm moonlight of the summer night entered the courtyard, passed under the porch, and cast obliquely on the handsome and gentle young man, setting a layer of silver for his handsome silhouette.

It's a pity that he's a good brother who is too gentle. Even if he himself doesn't have excessive expectations for Gojo Hitomi, but his younger brother Yakuken, but in order to protect Gojo Hitomi, he was broken by the government of the time, isn't this enough to express that deep admiration and admiration

Finally, she slowly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "yes." ”

Oh, yes. For the time being, in name, she is still the owner of the place. However, this small technical problem can be solved very quickly

At that time, they shouldn't have any complaints, they won't desperately want to get her back like they desperately wanted to get Hitomi back, because this place was originally the place where Hitomi was established, and it is a matter of course for her to want to return to this place, and it also occupies the name of righteousness, and there is nothing to argue about

A long, long time ago, in a dead alley on the streets of Kyoto, the window on the second floor opened above her head, and Takasugi leaned against the window and sang the lyrics of Natoyi in her mind.

Maybe it's because the name "One Phase, One Vibration" aroused her reasonable associations.

"At the end of the wild wind and the autumn wind, one period and one moment parting," she said vaguely, as if talking to herself.

One issue was stunned.

"What do you say," he asked rhetorically, in a strange tone of shock that almost broke his voice.

Liu Quan blinked and smiled.

"Nothing. It's just that I thought of the last time I met Takasugi-kun, and the Nadu Yi he sang. ”

"What you said about Takasugi-kun, is it?"

Liu Quan smiled and nodded.

"Yes. It's a friend of the former master of 6 Okushoujun, the governor of the Odd Soldiers, that Takasugi-kun. She said.

"Now, you should believe it, I'm not from here. Even if you don't go back to that era, you're not a person of this era," her gaze lowered with her voice, swept over her handsome face, and fell onto the moonlit courtyard outside the corridor.

In her mind, the next lyrics of the song she had just hummed vaguely appeared.
