With that, he stretched out a hand and pushed the shoji door on that side completely open, revealing a passageway, and without saying a word, he swept over Willow Spring's side, and strode towards the corridor.
Liu Quan turned his head suddenly.
"Where are you going?!" she shouted, squeezing a word out between her teeth.
“...... Infinite Light Temple?!"
Fujiwara Taiheng's footsteps didn't even stop.
He must have heard her voice, but he strode all the way down the hallway. The more the figure moved forward, the more blurred it became, as if it were about to melt into the bright sunlight of the day.
Liu Quan was so angry that he almost stomped his foot in the hallway.
“...... Ahh......hhh Have you been poisoned by the Son of God!!Wake up, you have no relationship with her in the original game!!Why are you in such a hurry to die!!
He was so angry that he didn't know how to vent it, Liu Quan felt that he couldn't do it without roaring, so he waved his hand and quickly cast a mute spell, and roared at the end of the corridor that was already empty.
The incident happened suddenly, and I hadn't heard that the Divine Son would return to the present world today, which means that she and her subordinates were unprepared.
...... And the worst thing is that because she didn't know in advance that this bad ending would be staged without warning, in order to prevent herself as "Izumi Gozen" from being forcibly escorted back to Kamakura before that, she also deliberately asked everyone to go out to investigate, listen to the news, and make arrangements in advance before going out to the Gara Imperial Palace today!
The only thing she can be thankful about now is that in order to reflect the pomp of "Izumi Gozen" as a noble girl from Kamakura, she at least brought Horikawa Kunihiro as an entourage.
Liu Quan thought quickly.
...... It's too late. She had to rush over now, preferably to catch up with Fujiwara Yasuhiro and his party. If the others were to ask Horikawa Kunihiro to go back to Fujisenkan to gather as soon as possible, and then rush to ...... In order to catch up with Fujiwara Taiheng, she must also get a horse here. As for whether the former "Izumi Gozen" could ride a horse, this kind of little bug is no longer a concern......
As she thought about the whole plan, she subconsciously glanced around the empty room in front of her.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had seen Yasuhiro Fujiwara's room. As the "Izumi Gozen", she owns a Fujisenkan given by Fujiwara Hidehiro, and the marriage customs of the Heian period were used to men visiting women's residences, so she never saw what Fujiwara Yasuhiro lived like.
It is quite commonplace, and it is completely the standard decoration of the nobility of the Heian period - it can even be said that it seems to be more concise compared to the standard common at the time.
Liu Quan thought in hindsight that this was probably because of ...... Fujiwara Yasuhiro usually lives in the Hiraisenkan area, which is more like an office place...... However, because his father Fujiwara Hidehiro was set to live here for some reason, when Hidehiro passed away, as the heir, he would have to work and live here temporarily?
Thinking of the last time he had to fight Taehyun's father, Fujiwara Hidehiro, in this unexpectedly beautiful building, and finally assassinate him with his own hands, Ryuzumi felt a mixture of gloom and guilt.
This is probably because although she has killed people, she has never killed innocent people who are innocent and should not have killed.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the lacquered cabinet where Fujiwara Taiheng was standing in front of her when she pushed open the door just now.
Strictly speaking, the lacquered cabinet was a standard so-called "two-story cabinet" - a plain cabinet with double doors at the bottom, and then a trellis at the top to facilitate the placement of some commonly used small objects, and the cabinet was decorated with elaborate motifs and luodian, and the trellis was covered with red brocade and the corners were decorated with hanging tassels.
Ryuzumi suddenly noticed that the door of the cabinet didn't seem to be completely closed—perhaps because Fujiwara Yasuhiro had just thrown the door shut, and a corner of red fabric seemed to leak out of the crack in the lower door of the cabinet door, as if it had been caught in the crack of the door.
For some reason, she hesitated for a moment, and then temporarily put aside the limited-time task of chasing Fujiwara Taiheng, which burned her eyebrows, and walked into the room with a ghostly gesture, reaching out to open the cabinet.
At first, she seemed to just think that she should help close the cabinet door tightly, after all, Fujiwara Yasuhiro closed the cabinet door in a hurry because she was startled by her sudden appearance, but when the cabinet door slowly opened in front of her, revealing the contents inside, her eyes widened wider and wider, and finally her mouth opened slightly, and her face was stunned.
"It's ......!" she called out unconsciously in a low voice.
Surprisingly, that cabinet wasn't stuffed with anything. Some simple books and stationery are neatly arranged against the four corners of the cabinet, which looks very organized, and in the middle of the cabinet, there are-
A set of shrine maiden costumes in white clothes and scarlet hakama!
She had just seen a corner of red fabric leaking from under the cabinet door, and it was a corner of the scarlet hakama that had been caught in the crack of the door and exposed to her.
As mentioned earlier, Liu Quan's eyesight is very good. So even though it was placed in the cabinet, she still noticed at a glance the small plum blossom-shaped family crest on the collar of the white dress placed on top of it—the pattern she had chosen to represent herself when she joined the company, in accordance with the regulations of the government at the time.
The government of the time will embroider this representative pattern similar to the family crest on the neckline and sleeves and upper arms of the standard shrine maiden costume issued by the time, which is said to be one of the "God Inquisitor Benefits"?!
However, now this plum blossom pattern, which is different from the family crest of Kamakura Hall and her biological father Kujo family, appears on this witch costume!
Liu Quan was completely stunned.
She slowly reached out to the shrine maiden costume. The fabric you touch is undoubtedly different from the silk and other fabrics that were too soft and sheer in the Heian period.
...... In any case, the cheap fabrics woven by machines in large quantities under modern technology, and the affordable witch uniforms that were mass-produced and distributed like the school uniforms of the modern world, could not have the same texture as the clothing worn by the nobility in the Heian period. It's nothing more obvious.
However...... How did Yasuhiro Fujiwara get this shrine maiden costume?!
The shrine maiden costume that Yanagizumi wore when he came this time is still properly stored in the cabinet of the Fujisenkan. She didn't bring a second set of shrine maiden costumes.
Although the White Dragon Miko here is also a traverser, the standard costume she wears is completely different from the witch costume of the God Inquisitor. It is completely different in terms of color, fabric, style, and so on.
...... The only possibility is that the last time she was in this world, because she wanted to meet Fujiwara Hidehiro, she didn't wear a shrine maiden costume, but wore a more gorgeous outfit. However, when she came to the Gara Imperial Palace, she was calculated and asked to play such a real and terrible scene - assassinating Fujiwara Hidehiro, so in the end she had to hastily and forcibly open a portal to the present world and leave.
That time, the shrine maiden costume she wore was left in the Fujiquan Pavilion and not taken away.
...... However, every time she comes into this life, from the perspective of the people here, they must have erased their memories of what she had done before, and every time she came, it was a new reading and a new beginning!
In other words, what she is doing, in the real world, is to read a save point in the game, find that you can only play BE from there, and then quit, and then choose another save to replay the game next time, in that archive, the fate of each game character, ability value, and favorability should be different because they did not follow the previous plot development route.
...... However, why does that set of data that should have been directly exited when I played BE last time I played and disappeared without being archived, the shrine maiden suit, appeared in this world and this archive?!
Could it be that this is a side effect of history beginning to change, the world cracking, and the two worlds merging?!
This inference is nothing short of terrifying.
Liu Quan couldn't dare to continue thinking about it.
...... If the last time she left behind the shrine maiden costume was brought to this life, what about what she did?!
In whose hands did Fujiwara Hidehiro die this time?!Did he commit suicide?Did he force Fujiwara Yasuhiro to kill his father?Or—
Liu Quan felt his hands trembling slightly on the shrine maiden costume.
Also, even if Fujiwara Hidehiro's death this time had nothing to do with her, what about Fujiwara Hideheng's death last time?!Did Fujiwara Yasuhiro still unexpectedly retain the memory of that time?Or was he just puzzled because he got a set of clothes that the real Izumi Gozen wouldn't wear at the Fujisenkan?!
No, can't think about it anymore. Now, too, is the time to think about these things.
Liu Quan lowered his head and looked at the outfit he was wearing today.
It is in line with the clothing of the noble ladies of this era, but it is too complicated and cumbersome to fight.
...... Luckily, she's found something terrible!
She reached for the shrine maiden costume she had left over from the last time, and began to quickly remove her coat.
A few minutes later, she had finished changing her outfit. Then she withdrew her hand, slammed the cabinet door back shut, turned around, and rushed out of Fujiwara's room.
Her footsteps echoed through the hallway. Abandoning the graceful and polite march of the city, she ran like a commoner child on the street, ungraceful and desperate.
Ignoring the curious or disdainful gazes of the attendants along the way, she rushed out of the gate of the Gara Palace, and was about to look for a place to grab a horse, when a man suddenly stepped down from another ox cart parked in front of the door.
The man had piercing eyes and a face she didn't remember - which meant that even if he had appeared in the original, he was an NPC figure.
But the man clearly recognized her.
He seemed slightly stunned when he saw her rushing out of the Garo Palace. When she slowed down because of the two ox carts blocking the way at the door, he called out in time, "...... Miss Noriko. ”
Liu Quan: !?
There were very few people who called her "Miss Noriko" in Hiraizumi, and it was so small that she immediately raised her alertness.
She paused and looked at the young man.
When the young man saw her stop, he seemed to smile with satisfaction, and actually walked in front of her, stopped in front of her and bowed slightly, and then said straightforwardly: "I don't know if the letter brought by Lord Shigenobu has read it?"
Willow Springs: !!
Her expression tightened slightly, and her voice became a little cold.
"I've seen it, but I'm not interested in marrying a young boy. She replied coldly, slightly mimicking Fujiwara's usual dead face.
The young man smiled slightly, as if he were not surprised to hear her refusal, and a sly and sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"IMHO...... Miss Noriko wants to serve Oshu...... And Lord Fujiwara-sama, will it bring more misfortune?"
