The 72-hour time limit promised when the quest world was chosen at random has long since passed. However, the mission she was given to continue. After completing the simple task at the beginning, the system released a new one, and extended the time limit of her stay accordingly.

Well...... Although I was shocked to hear the long-lost name "Mikazuki Sony" from Kujo Michiji today, the corresponding feeling of "the boots hanging from my head have finally fallen" finally came up.

The "variables from other unstable worlds that have been fused" by the system fungus, presumably this time it is still close to the Three Days Moon Sect.

It's better than dealing with a complete stranger. Regardless of whether this time Mikazuki Munen is near, or whether it is the same man who said goodbye with a sudden kiss on the field leading to Bentendaiba in Hakodate, she has the confidence that she can handle this matter well.

"In short, since you have been assigned to do this matter, there is no room for shirk. She retracted her thoughts, thoughtful.

At the moment when Kujou Michiji showed a look of despair, she showed a slightly mischievous smile and continued, "...... However, it is not impossible for me to accompany you on this mission. ”

Michiji Kujo: ?!

The look on his face changed in an instant, from a moment of despair to hope—the look of a child with all the expressions written on her face seemed to make her feel a little amused, and she pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

"Actually, Lady Chungshun is planning to do the same. She said, "You can't go alone to meet the famous sword...... Will definitely bring his entourage with him. Then, even if I don't say it, I'm sure I'll be ordered to go with it—so you don't have to show that look of emotion, Michiji-kun?"

Kujo Michiji didn't care about her long list of analysis. All he knew was that today, the heart that had been worrying since his father announced to him the terrible news like a bolt from the blue, was finally able to let go!

"Great, it's nice to be able to go to Kyoto together," he said cheerfully, and he began to think about the plants unique to Kyoto.

"I heard that there are a lot of plants in Nijo Castle, the former shogun's line...... If you have the opportunity to enter this time, you must see the design of the garden with your own eyes......"

She looked shocked, as if he had said something terrible.

"Enter...... Nijo Castle?!"

Kujo Michiji nodded a little puzzled.

"yes...... Because the famous sword 'Three Days and Moon Sect' that we are going to enshrine in Kyoto is now enshrined in Nijo Castle——"

Kujo Noriko straightened her back suddenly, looked at him incredulously with an expression of disbelief, and asked:

“…… What?!You say—'Mikazuki Sokin' is in Nijo Castle in Kyoto?!"

Kujou Michiji nodded suspiciously.

My father said...... That's what the Tokugawa family said. That's why I need to go ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw her eyebrows curled slightly, and her index finger tapped her chin lightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Ah~ Is that so. It's kind of funny—" she said.

Kujo Michiji: ?

"The knife...... How could it be in Nijo Castle? She said with a deep groan, not knowing whether she was calmly asking questions or being indifferently suspicious.

Kujo Michiji: ??

However, she refused to go on, only showed a thoughtful expression, and her eyes were cloudy.

This look made Kujo Michiji a little uneasy for no reason, and he slowly stood up, like a child who had done something wrong, and called her weakly: "...... What's wrong?"

As if she was shocked in an instant, she was not uncomfortable with this change in the height and posture of the two people, and naturally raised her head and smiled at him as if she was appeased, and said, "...... No, it's fine. ”

Even he could see that the reaction was not "fine". Kujou Michiji looked at her with a worried look on his face.

His appearance made her laugh, shook her head, and said, "...... It's really fine. I just thought that ...... 'Mikazuki Sony' couldn't be in Nijo Castle, but now that the Tokugawa family says so, I'm just a little curious. ”

"It's impossible for the 'Three Days-Moon Sect' to be in Nijo Castle?!" Kujo Michiji asked in surprise, "You...... How do you know that?"

Then he saw her gaze drift away and close for a moment, and he didn't know what came to mind, and finally it all came down to a simple sentence.

"Of course I do. She smiled.

Because, this answer was told to me by a close relative of the Three Moons Sect - the handsome Fu Fu God said that his main sword was not in Nijo Castle.

Moreover, soon after that, the Boshin War broke out, and the former shogun fled back to Edo in embarrassment all the way, so of course he could not have been in the mood to send such a precious thing as one of the "Five Swords of the World" from Edo back to Nijo Castle in Kyoto, right?

So, what exactly the Tokugawa family wants to offer now is very ...... Intriguing, huh?

She couldn't help but sigh, and in an instant, she deduced the multiple possibilities of the truth behind this incident in her mind.

"Hey...... If you have the courage to play this yin-yang chess, why didn't you have the courage to resist more in the first place, so you had to flee back to Edo, abandon your subordinates, and play a bloodless castle......" she sighed.

It's a bit of an overconfidence to say that...... However, Kujo Michiji, who can almost be regarded as bowing down in front of her, will certainly not spread her words today without her permission.

And of course, she couldn't suppress the anger and sadness that surged in her chest.

"And since I have ruthlessly abandoned my subordinates and sacrificed countless people in vain to achieve a bloodless Kaicheng, then after the bloodless Kaicheng, I will continue to lie on the ground and keep wagging my tail to the court to save my life!

She stood up abruptly, turned her face slightly sideways, her expression cold, and looked out the window into the dark courtyard.

"Sheng Haizhou......" she slowly pronounced the name.

"Aren't there any smart people in the Tokugawa family? Aren't you, the former Lord Abo, no longer as enthusiastic about their affairs as you were when you were pushing the shogun to go to Bloodless Kaejo? just as you calculated in cold blood and ruthlessly abandoned the Shinsengumi—"

She spoke to herself in a tone that was almost like a whisper, her eyes cold.

"Because it's useless...... The Tokugawa family is almost in the ground, so there's no value left......"

"If this continues, everyone who is buried with this dying and useless family ...... What's that?!"

"Also, assign Daozhijun to greet this sword that is obviously a fake......"

"This is deliberately done by someone with a heart, wanting to make the Kujo family a big ugly...... Or is it just that he unknowingly wants to help the gentle and harmless Daozhijun earn some credit? ”

She slowly twisted the corners of her lips, raised her voice slightly, and laughed.

"Hmph...... Things are going to get more and more interesting, huh?"

"It seems that this trip to Kyoto is a must-go. She muttered, slowly making up her mind.

"And not only to go, but to get things done—"

"The 'Three Days, Moons, and Trees' in Nijo Castle, I say it's genuine, and it's the real thing. ”

She confidently turned to the young man who was looking at her with a blank expression but a trusting and expectant gaze.

"Even with such a precious sword...... There will be no trouble halfway through. ”

"Someone who wants to come and get the idea of this knife...... If you want to calculate the Dao Zhijun - those who calculate us, take a good look. ”

……

The next afternoon, Goro Fujita, who had returned from an investigation, was called into the office by the irascible Nishino Police Department.

"Tsk, what a troublesome family...... Is there ...... end of the day?" the Nishino Police Department grumbled so much, and saw Goro Fujita, who pushed the door in after saying "rude", with a smoky expression on his face.

"Hey Fujita, how is the investigation of the nighttime serial murderous maniac incident!"

Fujita Goro seemed to be stunned for a moment in response to the very impulsive tone of the Nishino Police Department, but he quickly showed that calm attitude and said calmly: "...... Because the murderer did not continue to commit crimes recently, he only completed the verification of some peripheral evidence and related investigations...... In addition, the previous witnesses who found the victim's body were also interviewed and obtained their detailed testimony. ”

The Nishino Police Department waved at him in frustration.

"Well, forget it. I didn't call you here for that......"

Goro Fujita: ?

Nishino Police Department: "It's the troublesome family that climbed up to a big man from Satsuma last time, so he insisted that the police go to his only son's engagement banquet to guard him, and this time there is a new trouble." ”

Goro Fujita: !?

His eyes flashed, and he whispered, "Kujo family, ......?"

The Nishino Police Department didn't notice it, and still said angrily: "...... It is said that this time, through the big shots of Satsuma, they asked for a task that would make a big show in front of His Majesty-"

The Nishino Police Department told Fujita Goro about the fact that the Tokugawa family wanted to enter the world, one of the five swords in the world, and that Kujo Michiji had received the mission of welcoming the famous sword into Beijing.

Goro Fujita sighed.

Nishino Police Department: "......"

Ahh

Even if sometimes his emotions are excited, he can always be left speechless and swollen by the unbreakable calmness of this powerful subordinate like an iron mask in an instant.

He gave the order simply and rudely.

"Anyway, this time the troublesome family has gone the way of the big guys...... It is said that it is a long way from Kyoto to this place - what is the distance in the end! You can walk it with your feet—— so we are required to send someone to disguise ourselves as an entourage and escort it!Ah~! How many times does this family have to bully trouble the police to be enough......

Seeing that the Nishino Police Department was almost pulling his hair in anger, the corners of Fujita Goro's lips quickly pursed, and then tended to calm down normally.

Nishino Police Department: "......"

Wait!...... this guy just laughed, didn't he?!yes, yes?!yes, he's still learning to laugh - no, he's learning to laugh at his boss!
