Behind her, on the surveillance wall, which is inlaid with countless light screens, many different images still flash.

In those images, there are tennis courts illuminated by the sun, people in blue uniforms and casual clothes fighting each other in the streets late at night, with blue and red flames appearing around them, on their swords and in their hands, and of course in the streets of the Edo period, with a group of people dressed in light green hatori hurrying past with their swords......

But all of that has been left behind her.

Although she knew all the pictures and all the faces reflected on those light screens, she didn't look back.

There was a sharp and stirring emotion tumbling in her chest, like waves that came up and could not be retreated, as if they were about to break through her chest.

Under the urging of this emotion, without warning, she held the upper edge of the window frame with one hand, stood up straight, and then leaned forward and jumped onto the banner that was pulled down from the top of the building to celebrate the establishment of the new "Extraordinary World Authority"!

Her wand, one of the perks of a series of skills and items that had been urgently unlocked in order to secretly infiltrate the main control room of the Government of Time—which is why her spiritual power was endless that night, but all of her skills were used without hindrance—has now been retrieved by Shoji Fujisawa.

Without the help of her wand, she would not be able to use some advanced spells, such as "Apparition".

So now, if she wants to run directly to the face of the most handsome Fu Fu God among the five swords in the world from this height, she has no choice but to take a risk.

Of course, although the tea break had passed, there was still more than one person in the courtyard under the window. And this extremely dangerous behavior of hers caused an exclamation from the people in the courtyard.

However, the handsome young man standing in the middle of the crowd had a very calm expression.

Of course, the focus of their attention did not stop there.

The moment she leaped, her hair turned white. But the obviously abnormal gray hair that brings, is not a mistake that is beyond the power of the effort.

On the contrary, she seemed to be more at ease, and with the strength of the leap, she shook the sturdy banner twice, then stretched her arms, maintained the balance of her body, and slid diagonally all the way down from the height of the banner as if she were sliding—when some inertia could not maintain the speed of the descent, she was able to take a few small steps and re-accelerate, making her look like an adventurer walking a tightrope in the air at the moment, and her posture was extremely dashing.

The exclamations of the people in the courtyard gradually turned into exclamations and cheers, and they rang out one after another. However, the expression on the face of the handsome young man in the blue hunting suit gradually became colder.

At the end, he watched as she slid down almost blankly, until she reached the bottom of the banner and jumped forward so lightly that her feet slammed to the ground.

He watched as she looked down at the ground, then raised her face and grinned at him to the cheers of the crowd as if nothing had happened.

He watched quietly as she smiled at him with an overly cold expression, and just watched for a few seconds. Then, suddenly, he turned completely and walked without saying a word, striding in her direction.

He strode up to her and lowered his gaze to look at her, the expression on his face showing no emotion.

"Your landing is truly impressive. He complimented in a stick-to-read tone.

He saw her tilt her head, and then her white hair suddenly turned black again.

She smiled.

"Did it shock you?" she asked slyly.

Sanri Yuezong continued to reply in that sticky tone with a blank face, "Oh, yes. It's amazing to suddenly see you risking your life for no apparent reason. ”

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So...... Is there something going on in that upstairs room? That's why you're venting your emotions in this wayward and risky way, and you can't wait for a moment?"

Instead of narrowing his eyes in order to emphasize his anger, he noticed that after he said this, her pupils dilated slightly, as if she was a little surprised.

Then, she laughed and said in a sleek tone, "...... Something important happened~ That's why I'm here. ”

The wording of this sentence sounds a little strange, and it is certainly impossible to miss the three days and moon sects who have always been meticulous.

He frowned slightly, barely calming the astonishment, worry, and anger in his heart at seeing her slip down the fabric from a great height, and regained his usual expression that was gentle enough to numb the defensiveness of others.

“…… Let's talk about it. His magnetic voice sounded calm and gentle, as if he had reverted to his usual image of a considerate and reliable confidant elder (?) in Honmaru.

"What's important that would make you jump straight from the stairs?" his voice actually carried a soft hint of banter, as if it was tolerant and concerned, and seemed to soothe her emotions in silence - this kind of performance really couldn't be more perfect.

…… It looks like a perfect, elegant nobleman, and you can't see that this person still has a black mud tumbling side inside, does it?

For some reason, this thought made Liu Quan burst out laughing.

Three days Moon Zong's gaze flickered slightly. Although he still looked at her with a smile and waited patiently for her answer, his eyes flickered, and a certain sense of unhappiness and the fact that the situation was out of his control seemed to leak through him.

"What do you want to say, Yukiba-kun?" he asked with a smirk—but Ryuzumi could almost tell from his change of name that her slow avoidance of what was going on in that office was about to destroy the bottom line of his patience.

…… How strange it is. Thinking back to the first time they had met—even a few months ago, some time after she had become the lord of the Honmaru where he was—she still felt that the old man in front of her was difficult and dangerous to understand, and that even if he stayed by her side, it seemed so unapproachable, and every time she was with him, she had to drain all her few brain cells.

But now, she could accurately predict his current mood from even the slightest changes in his eyes, expressions, tone, and movements. That's a great step forward, isn't it?

The thought made her smile deeper. She simply discarded the tricks that played tricks with him (?), and said bluntly: "I wondered, did you attract ignorant girls so much before, and let everyone all open their hearts to you and trust you unreservedly?"

The Three Days Moon Sect was stunned. “…… What?"

The content of this sentence is actually a bit provocative, but when she said it with a smile, she had a certain sense of playfulness for a moment, and-

It's half cramped, half intimate.

It was as if he was sure that even if he said this, he would not be abandoned in the same place, knowing that he was well indulged, so occasionally showing his sharp teeth and biting him would be regarded by him as a coquettish to some extent - until this moment, he noticed that when she stood in front of him, her arms were straight behind her back, and her head was slightly tilted to speak to him, as the words and emotions extended, her head was also slightly tilted playfully, and there was a small smile floating at the corner of her lips.

For the first time, it felt like she was no longer the high-minded, awe-inspiring, courageous general or lord, but like the ignorant girl she had just described in her words.

This sudden thought made him almost throw away the gentle mask that had firmly enveloped his face for a moment, and he burst out laughing.

Counting it all up—so many years have passed since they met, so many people have met and gone, and even experienced the sinister scenes of each other's swords facing each other, and even the sinister scenes of each other's swords, and she once threatened him to let him go with false tenderness, and he once slashed at her in the chest and abdomen mercilessly......

Time, love and hate, gathering and dispersing, victory and defeat, life and death...... After all they had been through together, she was still in front of him, tilting her head and smiling playfully, and saying defiant words to him like a cat with little claws outstretched, as if she were a ...... Like a living, ignorant girl, as if just as she said—waiting for him to attract, to subdue, and to make her open up to him in all sorts of ways—

That's really ...... It's incredible.

Sanri Moon Sect lowered his gaze and looked at Liu Quan's face, and then, slowly, curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

This time, the smile seemed to come out of his eyes—the famous eyes in the shape of a crescent moon had no meaning of scrutiny, no sense of coldness, and no sense of being high up and looking down on all beings, and the pupils of those eyes seemed to be extremely bright, reflecting the light of the crescent moon.

Then, he actually nodded, and replied:

"Hahaha...... Maybe that's really the case. ”

Liu Quan followed his demonic and familiar laughter, and laughed out loud, as if he was very happy.

"If it had been before...... she said in a long voice, "maybe you......'d have to say something like 'Are you attracted to me?'

The Three Days Moon Sect was nearly stunned, and there was another burst of hahaha laughter.

"Hahaha, it seems to make sense. He replied as if he were kind (?), "It seems that this sentence should be added—"

His laughter suddenly stopped, and his eyebrows were slightly lowered.

"Then Xue Ye-kun, are you attracted to me?"

My bad cold is still bothering me...... But I think it's time to code a new chapter anyway [right fingers.]

The sugar and feeling to be conveyed in this chapter are more subtle.,The brain is not very sensitive in the disease.,If the writing collapses, don't poke me in the head.

The next update is tentatively about two to three days apart.,If I finish the code early, I'll put it up in advance~~~.
