More than two weeks have passed since I contacted my descendant (?) Liu Mu that day.
Liu Mu seemed to be very busy at work, but he briefly explained to her on the weekend why he didn't reply for a long time.
[I'm really sorry, I'm going on a business trip next week, so I'm working overtime this week, and I really don't have time to go home to look for clues for you, please wait a little longer, okay]
Liu Quan, of course, is not in a hurry to get a positive response within a few days. What's more, what she has to do is more akin to "fishing"—that is, to lead to an investigation into his sister's later fate through the investigation of Liu Hao—so she politely replied: "You have really worked hard. It's okay, I'm already grateful if you're willing to help. Please take care and wait for the good news].
Perhaps it was this polite reply that won a little good impression on Liu Mu, and by the next weekend, his explanation came again.
[I just came back from a business trip this week, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't have time to go back to my parents' house this weekend to look for clues for you.] I might be able to take a vacation next week, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
When she received this email, Liu Quan was watching the notice from her new boss to go into battle.
In fact, it has been several days since this announcement was sent. Ryuzumi still remembers that when Kitsunosuke came to deliver the letter that day, she was taken aback.
"......'Edo Castle Infiltration Investigation'?!"
She can't be blamed for being unheard. When she was still a normal female college student in the present world, there was no such thing as "Edojo Infiltration Investigation".
The only activities that everyone can do are the ecstasy of "Do you dare to say yes to the big golden gun" battle expansion sword repair Shura field (fog!), the even more ecstatic "if you have the ability, you will fight the wall with one team" company battle (bigger fog!), and the most ecstasy "if you are a god judge, you will go down a hundred floors" Osaka Castle digging in the ground (super fog!).
As a result, now that it's really this era, and she has become a veritable inquisitor, the activities of the war expansion company are much simpler-she hasn't even appeared on the field by herself, and she just formed a team and finished it-only to see a [Edo Castle Infiltration Investigation] that she has never heard of.
After Kitsunosuke left, she had to summon her close attendant—yes, Mikazuki Sokin, who didn't want to work today but had to occupy this position—and asked him for information about the event.
As a result, as soon as he heard the name of this event, the Three Days Moon Sect showed a smile with an extremely high degree of ghost animal (?).
Liu Quan: I always think that the truth of this event is a little subtle?!
But when it comes to the end, there is no way to shirk it. So she had to put on a serious face.
"Please explain it to me in detail. I've already been notified of this event, so no matter how difficult it is, I can't shirk it, and I can only do it well. She said with all seriousness.
In fact, Kitsunosuke has already briefly talked about it just now, saying that this activity is to infiltrate Edo Castle in different periods to investigate. The Authority selected a number of inquisitors who had performed well, and arranged for different years to investigate everything in and around Edo Castle during that period. Of course, the appearance of the time-traveling march is also expected, so it is better to send a whole team to it, and in addition, there are several large treasure warehouses in Edo Castle, and if you can collect the key to open the treasure chest in the treasure house, you can bring back the items you get after opening the box - this is the most tempting condition of this battle.
Yanagizumi thinks it's really appropriate to empty the warehouses in Edo Castle in such a big way...... And Kitsunosuke also hinted at her ominously that she heard that there were good knives hidden in the treasure house. If you find a good knife after opening the box, you can also bring it back by yourself, and the Authority will not care about it, and it will not be held accountable afterwards.
So Willow Springs is even more black.
“...... It is said that after collecting the treasure chest key, you can open the box at will, and the things you get, as long as they are listed on this [Summary List of Names of Allowed Materials to Be Brought Back], you can bring them back......" She complained by the way, and raised her right hand and shook the form she was holding in her hand.
"There's also a column here that says 'Sword' - can the sword be allowed to be brought back?!What if it is found to be a shake after opening the box? What if it is found to be a shock of 'Three Days and Moon Sect'? Can it really be brought back? What if the other party finds out that this famous knife has been stolen? Will it really not destroy history?!"
The Three Days Moon Sect laughed with a "heh". The meaning of that laughter was clear.
...... Oh, woman.
Liu Quan: "......"
The number of paragraphs of this old man of the Heian Dynasty is getting higher and deeper. Now he had only a short laugh to complete a contempt for his master.
Liu Quan had a black line, so he had to explain.
"No, I'm just using an analogy...... I know you may not be in Edo Castle during the time you are assigned...... I'm just saying, did the government hold such an event in the past? Is this also the rule? Isn't it true that people have looted warehouses in Edo Castle from various periods and brought them back, and they have not affected history?"
Sanri Yue Zong stood in front of her so gracefully, across a desk from her, he leaned slightly sideways, as if half-leaning on the edge of the table, his right hand lightly tapped on a document placed in the corner of the table, his standing posture seemed a little relaxed, but when he looked closely, it made people feel an indescribable, careless beauty.
"Don't worry," he said, too, with a hint of nonchalance in his voice. "In the warehouse you can reach, I guess there aren't any too precious things in the chests. That's why I can casually let you get in touch with ...... Of course, the truly valuable collections are properly placed in places where even close cronies and subordinates may not be able to see them from time to time. ”
Liu Quan: "......"
I always feel ...... There was a slight ...... in his tone Is it her delusion?!
However, the Three Days Moon Sect is close to the five swords in the world, what other swords can he look at in his eyes? It is impossible for famous swords like Tongzi Qi'an Tsunade or Shuzhu Pill Hengji, who are also the five swords in the world, to be stuffed in a wooden box and put in a warehouse that can be easily found by those thieves who sneak in, right?
Liu Quan realized, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tactfully, "Has the government held such an event before?" if so...... Did anyone find any good knives there?"
The Three Days Moon Sect snorted.
"Yes. He replied suddenly, in a tone that was crisp, almost cold.
"Someone did find a knife in a warehouse in Edo Castle that he hadn't seen before and brought it back. Unfortunately, due to the turmoil in this honmaru at the time, no one was sent to participate in this event, so there was no chance to get that kind of knife. ”
Liu Quan: "...... 'that kind of'?!"
The Three Moons Sect replied lightly in a strange flat tone, "Qianzi Muramasa." ”
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.
Of course, she also knew that Muramasa had the name of the demon sword-this was given to her by the knife-loving Koichi in his broken thoughts--but at the end of the Edo period, the streets were full of fakes, not to mention, and there were many samurai of the Shogunate faction who tirelessly pursued to obtain a Muramasa sword for the ancient legend that [the Muramasa Demon Sword can kill the Tokugawa family], so for the Shinsengumi who stood on the opposite side of them, the Muramasa sword was simply a kind of knife that was not sensitive.
So now after listening to Sanri Moon Zong's answer, which sounded plain and then slightly disgusted, she just smiled and asked with a little curiosity: "What's the matter?
The Three Days Moon Sect snorted closely.
"Well, maybe it's a kind of 'difficult'. He replied casually.
Liu Quan was even more curious, because for the old man who was white and black, it might be more difficult to get a "difficult" evaluation from him than to get an "excellent" evaluation from him, so she continued to ask:
"What's wrong? Where is he in trouble? I don't know if I can find him in the Edo Castle warehouse this time like the other inquisitors...... If that's the case, don't you have to do your homework ahead of time and plan how to deal with it-"
Before she could finish speaking, the Three Days Moon Sect knocked on the table a few times with his knuckles, interrupting her words.
"You don't have to plan to be friends with that kind of knife. He said coldly.
Willow Springs: ???
Mikazuki Zongjin: "Although we don't have him in this Honmaru, I have also heard a little about his style. ”
Liu Quan immediately raised his eyebrows in interest.
...... And so ended the conversation with her attendant.
“...... He's not for you. He made a brief conclusion.
Liu Quan couldn't laugh or cry a little.
"What kind of person is he...... When you say that, it makes me want to see it even more......" She couldn't help but mutter, put down the departure notice document in her hand, raised her head and looked directly at the three days of the moon sect.
A look of displeasure flashed across the face of the Three Sun Moon Sect. However, Liu Quan gently tapped the document she had placed on the table with the tip of his right index finger and continued with a righteous face: "No matter how strange his behavior style is, I actually don't have any obsessive thoughts about whether this pill is another new Fu Fu God...... However, this mission is an order from the Authority, and I must carry it out. What's more, Kitsunosuke also said that even if you complete the mission and find the key, you may not be able to get this knife absolutely - maybe when I was in charge, Edo Castle didn't exist at all?"
Three Days Moon Zongjin's gaze flickered slightly, and he didn't speak. The attitude was obviously "Please continue your performance" (fog!), so Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly and continued:
"What's more, have you forgotten that I was born from some organization?—— I used to be the acting leader of the Ichiban Group of the Shinsengumi, and the 'Muramasa' Demon Sword, the most famous legend, can't it be able to hinder the Tokugawa family, so those Fallen Curtain factions dream of getting one?"
At this, a smile appeared on her face.
"Since it's a knife that's destined to go against the Shinsengumi's mission, what are you worried about?"
The Three Days Moon Sect finally spoke up.
“...... In that case, you can go if you want. His voice sounded a little stiff, as if there was a bit of inexplicable indifference, and there was no such trademark gentleness at all.
"But if you're going to go out in person, I'm going to do it too. He said.
Liu Quan: "...... Huh?"
Three Days Moon Sect: "Huh, don't you know?"
The tone of the five swords in the world sounded like a ghostly smile.
"It's not very difficult to infiltrate Edo Castle to investigate...... And because it is not the kind of task that deliberately targets the march back in time, it will not attract prosecution and non-compliance. ”
Liu Quan: "Huh, wouldn't that be nice—"
"However, I heard that although it is possible to send only Fu Fu God out to collect the key, the final action of opening the box must be completed by the God Inquisitor himself. ”
Liu Quan: "...... Is there still such a rule?!"
Three days Moon Sect suddenly bent his eyebrows and smiled.
"Huh~" He slowly provoked the end note and responded.
"Because this mission isn't too dangerous, even a much weaker Inquisitor can go out in person. Therefore, the task of opening the boxes must be done by the Inquisitor - there are so many boxes piled up in the warehouse, you must also choose which one you want to open. Do you think you'll be able to get all the keys?"
Liu Quan: "......"
As if he still felt that such a blow was not enough, he added slowly with a smile.
"Got it? Getting the supplies back there without being judged to be 'changing history' is because there's no way you're going to empty a huge treasury. Even if a few boxes are lost in a huge warehouse on weekdays, probably no one cares, right?"
He bent those beautiful eyebrows and smiled ambiguously at her. The expression on his face was just a big line of words that read, "Understand, this is a little relief activity for you poor inquisitors"!
How can it be repaired!
Liu Quan took the case.
"Where am I poor, my house is full of small judges! Hakata is a good boy! Of course, it is more important to complete the task, and if you don't take those supplies-"
The Three Days Moon Sect burst out laughing, as if he was very happy.
"Ahahahaha, in that case, Xue Ye-kun, remember your words. ”
