...... Who the hell is this person? Liu Quan scolded in his heart.

In any case, Liu Quan had no choice but to straighten his demeanor and asked, "...... What's the matter?"

The elderly maid Masashi, who claimed to be named "Tsubakiba", said, "When you were at home, you were deeply favored by your father, Lord Shigenobu, and you were entrusted with important tasks by Kamakura Hall and Masako, so it is only natural that you have developed such a character. But—"

Liu Quan's inner OS: Ah...... knew that there would be this kind of turning line that wanted to be suppressed first......

She still maintained a faint smile on her face. "Yes?"

Tsubaki said solemnly, "Although Lord Taiheng's attitude towards you is rude, but you have secretly summoned so many men in the Fujiquan Pavilion, and claimed that the Kamakura Hall sent them to be your retainers...... It was late at night to summon them all, and when they came, the adults refused to leave their swords on the knife rack in the room - this is unseemly!!"

Liu Quan: "Oh~?!"

The vicious element of her personality came out in an instant, and she almost asked a joking question, "Are you still worried that they will suddenly pull out their knives and kill me while serving me?"

However, this kind of problem must not really be said, otherwise not only will Tsubaki Ye, who is not of low status and resemble a high-ranking female official around Izumi Gozen, go berserk, but even the Fu Fu God behind her may also explode collectively.

Therefore, Liu Quan finally just issued a slightly interesting but noncommittal tone particle, lifted his eyelids and glanced at the few Fu Fushen standing on the corridor, nodded slightly and said, "...... So, are you teaching me on behalf of Lord Taiheng?"

Tsubaki immediately buried his head. Her posture was very respectful, but the words she uttered did not back down.

"The slave is thinking about you, so I said this. ...... Kamakura Hall has sent these adults to Hiraizumi to help you, so that you have some trustworthy helpers on the outside to do your day-to-day work, not to provoke Taiheng-sama and make him shameless......"

Liu Quan sighed again.

This indifferent attitude seems to make Tsubakiba, who has been preaching for a long time but has not received a warm response, even more anxious.

"Izumi Gozen!" she raised her voice and cried, looking as if she was in infinite distress.

"The slave knows that Miko-sama is coming, and you are not happy...... But this is Hiraizumi, not Kamakura, and you can't just let it go—"

Then, Tsubaki Ha saw the wayward noblewoman she served, and showed an arrogant and sad smile.

"yes, I'm not happy......" she said, smiling at the corners of her lips, but the look on her whole face was so sad.

"No one has taught me how to please someone who doesn't like me at all...... Before, I didn't need to learn this at all. ”

At this, she paused, lowering her gaze to Tsubakiba who was kneeling there.

"They told me that I didn't need my husband's favor at all...... I just need to get him to respect me and make him unable to ignore my opinion, that's it......"

Tsubaki couldn't answer such a statement, so she had to bow her head again.

And standing proudly in front of her, surrounded by all the beautiful men, her Miss Noriko raised her chin proudly, as if by doing so she would keep her voice from trembling.

"Yet, Tsubakiba, the human heart is a terrible thing......"

Tsubaki, a loyal maid with her head down, shook slightly.

However, Miss Noriko stopped again when she said this, paused slightly, and when she spoke again, there was a strange smile in her voice.

"That Miko is more interesting to him than me. ...... Hmph, it's just an ominous person. If she can bring down the Hei family today, she'll make Hiraizumi suffer the same fate the other day......"

Tsubaki Ye felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to raise her head and tell Miss Noriko, who had served her for a long time: "Izumi Gozen...... Please be careful!The White Dragon Miko-sama is Genji's Miko...... If Kamakura Hall and Masako know what you said, how can it be good?"

However, Miss Noriko just laughed.

"They're not going to do anything to me. She casually tilted her face slightly to the side, motioning to Tsubakiha to look at the beautiful men who had surrounded her consciously or unconsciously since she came here.

“...... I've learned all of that Miko-sama's ways. ”

Tsubakiba: "......"

After a moment of silence, Tsubaki asked in a trembling voice, "You...... Are these people what you're talking about......?"

She saw a slightly distorted smile on Miss Noriko's face.

"That's right, it's them. Miss Noriko laughed sarcastically.

"Doesn't Miko have Yaba to work for her, and lo and behold, I have it now. ”

"Aside from the power of those ghosts and gods, Yaba is just a noun...... Some people are willing to be loyal to her and trust her to accomplish things that others can't...... There are also people who will be loyal to me and give me that trust. ”

Miss Noriko raised her head.

"I may not be able to do all the things she can do, but there must be things in this world that I can do and not others. ”

Tsubakiba: "......"

Although she was still saying willful words, for a while, such a Miss Noriko gave her an illusion, as if Miss Noriko's aura overwhelmed everything in an instant.

After finally extinguishing Tsubakiba's preachy arrogance (?) and sending her and the other maids away, the Female Inquisitor was finally able to convene a full-fledged battle meeting (Fog!).

Actually, this is called a combat meeting, and it's actually just a matter of informing each other of what strange things have happened after everyone was inexplicably brought here by the teleportation array that had obviously changed the landing location by the time-retrospective march.

Liu Quan thought for a moment and set his eyes on Nagaso Mitoru.

The Director's knife is still the most reliable anyway...... She has confidence in the director.

Changzeng Mihu was stunned for a moment, thought about the wording for a while, and explained: "Uh...... After landing in that gust of wind, the five of us were in one place. After discovering that you are in a strange time, you are not on the battlefield, and you and the first phase of the army are nowhere to be seen, it is quite tense for a while...... In the end, it was the Three Sun Moon Hall that stood up and said, asking everyone to stay where they were for the first time and take a look at the situation before making plans. ”

The female inquisitor didn't seem surprised at all when she heard this, and nodded in response, "Is that so...... It's so hard for you. ”

Nagaso Mihu laughed and hurriedly shook his hand.

"No, it's not hard...... It didn't take long for them to hear a commotion outside, and then the attendants were running down the corridor, whispering to each other that 'Izumi Gozen had taken away the popularity of Taihyung, who had rarely visited the Fujisenkan...... Then, Mikazuki Temple gave us a brief explanation of the abnormal situation we encountered when we went out in the battle, such as meeting a group of people who called you 'Izumi Gozen' on the map of Atsuga Shizan......"

The female inquisitor sighed, glanced at the Fu Fu Gods sitting in front of her, and said, "Then everyone has almost understood the seriousness of the situation now?...... This is the era before the Battle of Atsuga Shizan, and I don't know how long it will be before that battle, and this is Hiraizumi, and the one who was angry with me just now is the leader of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara Taiheng. ”

Everyone sighed in unison.

The Divine Inquisitor smiled.

"Maybe some of you already know, but I'll explain it to you again—I've been forcibly installed here as the 'Izumi Gozen'. ”

"'Izumi Gozen' was sent to Hiraizumi by the Kamakura Palace Minamoto Yoritomo, probably in order to free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with the Heike family, so he temporarily wooed the Oshu Fujiwara clan through marriage. ”

Chang Zeng Mihu Che, who was not in the list last time, seemed to be stunned by the amount of information in this sentence, and repeated the key words: "...... Marriage?!"

The Female Inquisitor laughed again.

"Ahh So, that grumpy Fujiwara-sama is now my husband. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Only Liu Quan himself smiled calmly.

"Well, rest assured~ Anyway, he won't really come to the Fujiquan Pavilion to spend the night, I'm safe. ”

It was as if the Three Days Moon Sect usually said "very good, very good", and in an instant, everyone showed a complicated expression that they couldn't complain.

Only the third day Moon Sect answered her closely: "Ahahaha, very good, very good." ”

Everyone: "......"

Liu Quan: "Ahem, in short, the first thing we need to figure out at the moment is the exact time now, the current situation of the various forces in Hiraizumi, and-"

She paused, as if she had suddenly become a little distressed.

“...... What kind of identity do we currently exist in Hiraizumi? ”

Everyone:?

Liu Quan lowered his head and thought for a moment, slowly organized the wording, and said his conjecture.

"As everyone knows, when I came here, I became 'Izumi Gozen'. The real 'Izumi Gozen' was replaced by me. ”

"In fact, the historical Fujiwara Taiheng who should have appeared in the First World War of Atsuga Shizan has also been replaced by the current 'Fujiwara Taiheng' who married 'Izumi Gozen'. ”

"From this I have a bold assumption that this time and space, because it has been distorted by a time-retrospective march or some kind of force, when we appear here who do not belong to this historical epoch, but are connected to this historical epoch in a way that 'defends the correctness of history', this epoch gives us some strange conveniences—for example, legitimate identity—so that we can survive here as characters who do not exist in history. ”

In the long run, there will be more and more foreign figures who do not belong to this historical era, and this history can also be successfully rewritten. ”

Everyone:!?

Liu Quan looked around at the people sitting around, and said, "Because we can't guarantee that all foreign figures are as committed to maintaining the correct development of history as we are. Perhaps, there are also people who want to profit by changing history—such people, who will somehow agree with the purpose of the march back in time. ”

"I never thought that the Marching of Time could make things so corrupt just by a few fallen swords appearing in a certain characteristic era and saving a few people who should have died. ”

"Our opponents are never easy. Therefore, I also have to work harder and be cautious. ”

"At yesterday's meeting, the government of the time gave me the responsibility of correcting the history of this era, which had begun to collapse. ”

In the silence of the night, except for the occasional chirping of insects outside the window, the clear and confident voice of the Divine Inquisitor echoed through the room.

"I'll be busy starting tomorrow. ”

Izumi Morikaneji: !!

This sentence sounds familiar, doesn't ......?

He was temporarily distracted and searched his memory, and suddenly realized that this was what his old master, the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Suizo, had said.

It was as if the words of the earth side were confidently spoken to the demoralized soldiers in front of the Clam Imperial Gate, which was scarred by the impact of the Choshu army, in the early morning of the day after the Forbidden Gate Change.

At that time, in the eyes of the big names in Kyoto, the Shinsengumi were still a group of "rural murder groups" that were not taken seriously. But since then, what incredible performances and burning ambitions have they all accomplished, and finally become the final signposts of Shidao?

That experience not only had an indelible impact on him, Kunihiro, Kiyomitsu, Stability or Nagaso Mitoru in his heart, but it should also be one of the most gorgeous and unforgettable moments in her life.

Until this moment, without warning, Izumi Mamoru Kaneji saw the existence of the name "Shinsengumi" in the female judge in front of him.

...... I saw the presence of Mr. Hijikata.

Although we will not be able to see each other again, the deep traces and influence that Mr. Hijikata has left on them—in him and Izumi Mamoru Kane, as well as Kunihiro, and her—will not disappear so easily.

In retrospect, when Mr. Hijikata said this, he seemed to be still dormant in his own body knife. At that time, everything was always chaotic, he seemed to be in a long dream, and occasionally the voice of the old master he missed was heard in the dream, and there was a clear and beautiful voice, always smiling, always speaking in a brisk tone, although he was half asleep at that time, as if in a dream, he also subconsciously felt that the voice seemed to be like a sunshine splitting the night, which made people involuntarily rejoice, and made people involuntarily trust-

Until the owner of the voice like the sun held his body knife with his own hand and woke him up from his half-asleep slumber.

Izumi Morikaneji perked himself together and slapped his knees.

"Very well—then, target Mt. Tenwang, let's start running with all our might!" he said in a gruff voice.

Everyone else looked at him in surprise. Kunihiro Horikawa also quietly stabbed him beside him, and whispered, "Kane-san! The master is not talking about Mt. Tenno, but Atsuga Shizan......"

Izumi Mamoru didn't pay attention to anyone's gaze, and he didn't pay attention to Horikawa Kunihiro's whispered prompts, but met the eyes of the female inquisitor and showed a confident and narcissistic (?) smile.

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw the female inquisitor's eyebrows slowly bent.

She really remembered this sentence, remembered this moment-

She coughed, and said in the same rough voice: "Don't underestimate the war, naïve boy!"

Other mourners: "......"

Three days and moon sects: "Ahahahaha, interesting~"

Izumi's eyes slowly lit up.

...... Yes, Mr. Hijikata said this sentence at the time.

None of them have forgotten the past they have experienced together, and none of them have forgotten the people they once revered and followed together. But now, there's no longer a need to raise their swords against each other, they'll move forward together for a common goal, right?

He replied with a hundred times more energy: "Okay, let's just do a big job!"

Other mourners: "......"

Sanri Moon Zongjin: "Ahahahaha, it's good if you have spirit." It seems that I can look forward to the next activity of Izumi Mamoru~"

As if he hadn't heard some hidden meaning in his words, Izumi Shoukan replied boldly:

"Ah, leave it to me!"

The author has something to say: July 13:

Why is it written so long today...... What am I going to do tomorrow!【No.】

Well, the dialogue between the sister and Kane-san at the end of this chapter is actually what the deputy chief said when he led people to Tianwang Mountain to hunt down the remnants of Choshu in the volume of the Sakura Ghost.

So of course the others don't know.

Of course, grandpa hadn't come to that world when this incident happened, but of course he could guess what the tacit understanding between the girl and Kane-san suddenly showed was hhh

So tomorrow there will be new maps and new characters on the Hiraizumi map
