...... So, what the hell is it?!

No one else can move, but the mind is still racing.

After the initial shock, he immediately made a judgment that the source of that mysterious power could only be Izumi Gozen himself.

He had also heard that Fujiwara Yasuhiro was good at spells, and of course, when Taisha besieged Tuji Niten that day, he had also seen with his own eyes how high Fujiwara Yasuhiro's spells were.

However, he had never heard of Fujiwara Yasuhiro's side Izumi Gozen possessing such profound attainments in spells. And that day in Taisha, during the battle, he also noticed this woman who had behaved like an arrogant and difficult Kamakura noblewoman before, but when she entered the battle, she showed a stronger will than anyone else.

In the battle that day, she showed great swordsmanship, great stance, great awareness, excellent faith - but not the slightest great spell.

So what the hell is he in now......?!

While he was thinking, Arikawa Shogun and Arikawa let the two brothers also notice the abnormality here. After a brief moment of shock, the two of them almost simultaneously and neatly forced back the opponent in front of them, and rushed in this direction.

Benkei had guessed that Izumi Gozen would once again use the power of the magic spell to stop the Arikawa brothers as well, but he was wrong.

Arikawa Shogun and Arikawa Rang smoothly swept past his side and rushed towards the space-time rift!

Musashibo Benkei: "......"

Before he had time to be surprised or complain, he saw Izumi stop at the entrance of the space-time rift that was shining brightly.

Then, the right hand that she had grasped Miko's wrist threw forward violently. Miko was unsteady on his feet, and staggered a few steps forward passively with that force.

Benkei saw Miko reluctantly stop at the entrance of the rift and maintain her center of gravity, and then she looked back at Izumi Gozen with a look of confusion, surprise, and annoyance.

"You...... What the hell do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?"

Hearing such a question, Izumi Gozen grinned and smiled.

"You, go in now. Her chin lifted slightly, signaling for Miko to enter the rift in space-time.

"Those enemies inside, I will block them for you. You will be the same as you originally planned, and if you go in, you will be able to return to this world. ”

Miko: ?!

The Arikawa brothers, who have already run to the side: ?!

Musashibo Benkei, who is still in place for the time being: ?!

Miko was probably too shocked because everything that had happened today had exceeded her expectations, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement and nervousness as she asked Izumi.

"What did you, what did you say......!I—Can I go back?!"

Izumi Gozen smiled. This time, her smile seemed to be a little more genuine.

"Of course. She said, "You can go back with the two brothers of the Arikawa family, just like you were going to do today." The monster in there, I'll fix it. ”

Miko couldn't believe it.

"But ......! how are you going to deal with them?" she asked worriedly, "don't you need me to purify them? What are you going to do when I'm gone?"

Izumi Gozen seemed a little surprised. Her eyes flashed.

"Sure enough, you're a good person~" She suddenly sent a good person card to Miko without warning.

Benkei suddenly found that his body could move again. The knife he had swung out had swung down with the same force and trajectory as it had been, nearly staggering his center of gravity.

He sighed impatiently, and propped himself on the ground with the lower end of the shaft of the naginata, and no longer stepped forward, just stood there, listening to the conversation between Izumi Gozen and Miko.

"Ask me how to stop those monsters?...... I just used the same power that I just stopped Benkei-kun~" Izumi replied lightly in an overly brisk tone.

"So don't argue with me. I'll be standing here now, using this power to temporarily stop the monsters inside the rift from moving. You take this opportunity to go quickly with the two brothers of the Arikawa family—in which direction can you go home, and I don't need to remind you again?" she said impatiently, suddenly in an overly blunt tone.

Miko: "Oh, oh...... So...... Thank you...... Help me get home. ”

Miko glanced at the people behind them, still fighting hard to fend off the monsters that were billowing black smoke. Her Yachiha, the six flowers in front of Izumi, and Taiheng, who took in their group, resisted Kamakuraden, and washed away the name of a sinner for Kuro, and the gentle and reliable silver that walked with them all the way, almost heartbreaking......

They're all still fighting. Those who remain in this world will continue to fight until the end of their fate, right?

...... But now, can you leave them behind and walk away on your own?

Miko gritted her teeth slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, she finally shook her head with difficulty.

"No, I can't leave right now. ”

As if in the midst of this hesitation and contradiction, she finally clarified the confusion in her heart, her voice gradually became firm, and her eyes looked directly at the Izumi Gozen in front of her with clear eyes.

"Leave your important companion here and run away on your own...... It's not something I'm supposed to do—"

“...... Don't say stupid things!" Izumi exclaimed, interrupting Miko's speech.

"If you delay any longer, the people who are fighting will be injured even more! Only when you are gone can everyone manage to close this rift...... As a god son, as the master who leads Yaba, the most important thing you should do is not to make endless sacrifices that you think are sacred anytime and anywhere, but to know when and what is most suitable for you, and what is best for everyone!!"

Although Izumi Gozen's attitude towards Miko has always been a little subtle, it is the first time that he has spoken so violently.

For some reason, Miko suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Izumi Gozen was not talking to her, but as if he was emphasizing it so seriously through her and at himself.

At what time...... What is the right thing to do...... It's good for everyone......

Miko repeated these key words in his mind several times, and finally gritted his teeth and turned back to face the entrance of the dazzling space-time rift.

"I see. She said word for word.

"If that's what you're trying to tell me...... Well, I understand it now. She stared straight at the glowing entrance to the present world and continued softly without looking back.

"You mean to ...... This whole thing has nothing to do with Tai Heng Jun in the first place, you are here, you help me, it is only because this is the most correct, the most suitable, and the most beneficial thing for everyone, right?"

Miko took his first step towards the entrance to the rift in space. And then one more step. Her steps were firm, and the wind that rushed from the crack ruffled her long pink hair.

And she really didn't encounter those hideous monsters. Walking on the path paved with light in the middle of the rift, she could see that in some places in the vast space, there seemed to be a huge monster covered in black gas, its movements were stagnant as if it were unnatural, and its limbs were even twisted into various strange postures that would not move, but they were so still, staring at her and her generals, and letting the three of them fly in a certain direction along the path of light.

It was not until he was almost completely out of the earthly world to which the entrance of the light had led that Miko suddenly heard a voice belonging to a young woman in the distance, a little ethereal because it was too far away, but undoubtedly with a strange smile.

"No, you still don't understand~"

Izumi Gozen said.

"This whole thing was originally related to the Taiheng Palace. She said, laughing with a hint of exclamation.

“...... It's about him alone. ”

At the entrance of the space-time rift, the light suddenly surged for a moment, and then gradually dissipated. The aperture gradually tightened inward, and finally became a small point of light, and then disappeared completely.

The air vibrated as a result, making a peculiar humming sound. And the ringing of the earthen bell, which had lasted for a long time, suddenly stopped the moment that little point of light disappeared.

And at this time, those monsters that came out of the space-time rift have also been eliminated by the "Six Flowers" in front of Izumi Goku.

They die in a peculiar way, when they are wounded by Rokuka's sword, black gas gushes out of the wound, then inky black blood gushes out, and then their bodies turn into a puff of black smoke and disappear without a trace.

Although it seems that the "six flowers" in front of Izumi Gozen seem to have been injured to varying degrees, at least these sudden strange and strong enemies have been eliminated.

The white dragon closed his eyes and sensed it, and then said quietly, "...... The Son of God and his party have returned to where they came. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the Infinite Light Courtyard.

In the end, it was Jiuro who was the first to speak.

He raised his voice as if trying to hide his sadness and depression on his face.

"Taiheng! It's a great help to be here today!" he laughed and accosted Fujiwara Taiheng, who was standing quietly.

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "...... It's nothing. Those monsters, in fact, are not solved by me. ”

Kurou seemed to be reminded by this remark, and turned to Izumigo, who was still standing where the rift in time and space had opened before.

"Ahem, that...... What a great thing you did today...... It's not inferior to the last time I was at Taisha!" he stammered, but he always felt that the praise was a little stiff and unlawful.

Izumi smiled at him and didn't speak.

Kuro seemed a little embarrassed, tried to think about it, and found another sentence.

"Last time、At Taisha...... I saw it! Who did you learn that wonderful trick of stabbing with a knife in the air? It's so beautiful......

Izumi Gozen looked a little surprised, tilted his head slightly and thought about it, as if he was trying to search for memories.

Since the topic seemed good, Jiuro took it on smoothly.

"Speaking of which...... Where did you learn such swordsmanship?"

Izumi Gozen looked a little distressed.

"Ah...... How can this be answered...... I've actually consulted with a lot of people......" she muttered.

Since the atmosphere has become much calmer because of this kind of small talk, it seems that the sense of discomfort when Miko just disappeared has gradually faded in this kind of chat, so Jiulang couldn't help but turn the topic back again: "Then, your move is to change the ...... of stabbing with a knife in the air."

Before he could finish speaking, Izumi Gozen looked at him, seemingly froze slightly, but soon she smiled.

"Ah, that's. She said, "I can tell you." ”

As if with a faint smile at the thought of a name hidden deep in her memory, she reached out and gently stroked her long, messy hair that was scattered over her shoulders and brushed it behind her shoulders.

"Hijikata is three years old. She said.

"The man who taught me that trick is named Toshizo Hijikata. ”

The author has something to say: August 9:

So the deputy chief come and heal us!

Actually, I've always wanted to write about this kind of "inadvertently mentioning the people I've met in the past" such a memory stalk.,But the deputy chief is too famous.,The white dragon god in the remote 3.,And the Arikawa brothers are all worn in modern times.,A mention of the deputy chief's name will probably reveal the stuffing [.]

So I had to wait until now

The plot of 5-4 is probably over in a few chapters, and then grandpa can send a wave of sugar on the line!

The next is almost the truth line of the knife man!
