The mission that welcomed one of the "Five Swords of the World", "Mikazuki Sokin", returned to Tokyo uneventful.

After a while, he actually handed down a commendation order or something, praising the Kujo family's contribution to it. Hearing the news, almost everyone in the Kujo family was happy, and only Kujo Noriko sighed.

"It's nerve-wracking...... If it happens again...... it will be even more useless," she muttered to herself, almost silently, and sat down under the porch, looking at the courtyard seemingly leisurely.

Michiji Kujo went to the university today - I have to say that although he lacks a mind in government and current affairs, he is indeed talented in botany, and his papers are very well received by the industry, and he has been invited to the university several times to discuss with scholars in related fields.

Speaking of which, several days had passed since he returned from Kyoto, but Goro Fujita did not come back to the house.

Because of this, Liu Quan couldn't help but sigh again.

"If you say yes, you're going to pretend to be a suitor...... Why didn't one or two of them follow my script......"

"Hahaha, so, Lord Temple, don't trust men too much. Fu Fushen, who was sitting beside her and drinking tea leisurely, suddenly spoke.

Willow Springs has a black line.

"You're a man, too, Your Excellency Three Riyue. I really admire someone like you who dares to blow up the map himself......" She rolled her eyes angrily and sneered.

The way the two of them get along with each other now is completely different from the atmosphere of mutual respect and forgiveness (fog!) a few years ago.

Maybe it's because they've seen each other's darkest and most embarrassing side in Hakodate, and there's no need to hide their true colors in front of each other, and they don't get along as much as they used to be.

Speaking of which, the painting style of the two people is probably OOC. Liu Quan thought.

She's never seen such a white-skinned sesame stuffed grandfather in any knife male homo.

Of course, she has also seen the kind of dark fanfic that is very beautifully written, but compared with the grandfather described in it, the three-day moon sect in front of her is close, and there is an unpredictable strangeness, as if whether it is gentle, tolerant, elegant, calm, or even those unknowable inner worlds, his real thoughts and purposes after coming to this earthly world, and the things he really obsessions...... Everything was like a fog that hung over him, making him seem extremely unpredictable and unable to deal with it.

Every time she stayed with him, she felt that her brain cells were being overdepleted, and she felt very tired.

...... Compared to her, she still prefers to stay with Xiaoyi. The little one is the healing department. However, this healing system has not seen anyone for a few days, when will she come to heal her heart that is congested and tired because she is tired of dealing with the black-bellied old man of the Three Days Moon Sect......

Almost as soon as this thought came to her mind, she heard the maid of the Kujo family trotting all the way over, standing behind her, and with a slight gasp of surprise, she reported, "Mademoiselle! Yes, a Mr. Fujita has come to visit you......

Liu Quan's eyes widened suddenly, but she quickly regained her composure, stood up calmly, and turned her head away.

The maid, who seemed to look a little surprised and amused, saw her gaze coming over, immediately lowered her gaze, and respectfully reported, "That Mr. Fujita is now in the front hall. He ......"

She hesitated.

Liu Quan knew that the meat was coming.

"Oh, is there something wrong with Fujita-kun coming to me?" she asked lightly, in a tone that was neither overly familiar nor unfamiliar, making it difficult to understand what kind of connection she had with this "Mr. Fujita".

When asked such an ordinary question, the maid's face suddenly became a little strange. She replied, almost in a hurried tone, "Yes...... Please come and see for yourself!"

Liu Quan really had a little curiosity at this moment.

What did the natural gentleman do to make the maids in the family report with such an unusual reaction?

Although the Kujou family she is in is not as profound and strict as the Kujou family, after being promoted to the Chinese family, Kujou Tadashun used the money obtained from Kujou Michikiyo's previous business outside the country to hire a few servants and began to rectify this family that originally had nothing but a title. Now, although this maid is hired and a little gossipy, she usually behaves quite well, and it is really rare to show such a subtle expression as today.

Liu Quan's curiosity was immediately stirred up. She held the shelf of "Nine Rules", put on an [unfathomable] emoji, bowed her head slightly, and said, "In this case, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Then with a steady step, he came to the antechamber.

But as soon as she walked around the corner of the cloister and stepped into the antechamber, she stopped in astonishment.

Because Goro Fujita, who was standing there, was actually holding a branch of a cherry blossom tree in his hand!

The branch was actually beautifully chosen, with a knotted line dotted with pale pink cherry blossoms that neutralized the edges of the branch itself, and a piece of paper tied to the branch—a piece of paper, to be exact, folded into a long strip and then tied to a knot.

The shape of the branch itself is quite good, and even if it is used as a model to paint, it can form a good composition without any additional retouching, but the fact that a gentleman in a straight military uniform is holding such a branch of a flower tree in his hand looks like a sense of disobedience everywhere.

Yanagizumi stared in amazement at Goro Fujita, who was standing there straight.

He looked a little uncomfortable, his gaze falling slightly to the ground not far away, but he was still very keen to catch her footsteps almost immediately, and quickly turned his head to this side. Then, the moment he saw her, he actually had a suspicious heat on his face before he could speak.

"Uh...... Kujo, Miss. ”

When he called out the unfamiliar name, he stumbled, as if he was a little uncomfortable, his eyes stayed on her, and he watched her all the way into the hall, stopping a few steps in front of him, with a slightly confused look, tilted his head and asked, "Fujita-kun brought this...... What are you going to do?"

Fujita Goro seemed to look a little cramped, and he coughed before saying, "I...... I'm here to ...... Pursue yours. ”

Liu Quan's expression almost didn't hold back.

It was true that she knew in her heart that he was here to carry out the task she had assigned to him, and yet she said it so bluntly...... Is it really- a little too natural?

Rao is Liu Quan has seen countless worlds, and he can't help but feel a slight heat on his face in the face of this sentence. She lowered her head slightly, clasped her hands in front of her, and squeezed her left hand unnaturally with her right hand before finding her voice in reply.

"Ah...... Belch...... But why do you ...... this?"

Fujita Goro took a deep breath and did not answer her words, but handed the flower branch in his hand directly in front of her.

"Please take this. He said.

Liu Quan: ?

Of course, she didn't understand what was going on—probably because Ichikan didn't know whose bad idea he had heard, so he used this trick that was popular in the Heian period.

However, this piece of paper tied to a flower branch ...... Is it a waka?!

For some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Yijun, very serious.

Even though it seemed that she had given her a task that was difficult for a strong man out of the blue, and that the reasons given were too weak to stand up to scrutiny, he nevertheless gave his response earnestly, and tried to accomplish this ridiculous task—was it only because the man assigned the task was his former trusted companion? or, or—

Liu Quan untied the piece of paper from the flower branch and slowly unfolded it. But the moment she read what was written on the paper, the faint smile on her lips suddenly condensed on her face.

Because what is written on the paper is-

[Seek and be confused/If you don't ask, there is no confusion/The way of love]

Liu Quan stared at the lines of poetry and was silent for a long time.

Then she slowly raised her gaze, looked at him in front of her, and smiled.

“...... Haiku?" she asked casually.

"Shouldn't it be a waka?"

This seemingly casual question made Fujita Goro hesitate for a moment before he whispered, "I'm sorry." ...... I'm not good at writing, but I've heard that in order to express my heart, I have to write poems attached to the branches, so I ......"

Even if Yanagizumi had just felt subtly uncomfortable that he had chosen a deputy haiku, he was now made a little ridiculous by his natural and frank reaction.

"Who told Fujita-kun that, I really want to meet him. She couldn't help but laugh, folded the piece of paper and put it in her pocket, still holding the cherry blossom in her hand, and turned over and gently rubbed the rough part of the branch with her right hand.

Goro Fujita looked a little lost.

"Ah...... No, it's just classmates and classmates......" He almost said the word "colleague", and quickly bit his pronunciation the moment before he said it, and bluntly turned the appropriate word.

"What a terrible classmate. Her laughing voice sounded in front of him, and he realized that she had walked slowly to the side of the front hall, placed the cherry blossom in her hand on the table, and then turned her head and looked at him with a smile.

"Is that all you are here for?" she smiled softly, and uttered a frighteningly blunt tone of grace.

"Thank you for the gift, I am satisfied. She smiled and said, "I don't think such an old-fashioned method was common even many years ago...... However, I feel like I'm being taken seriously. ”

Goro Fujita felt a wave of heat rise up on his face. He stammered, "This...... Close, about what I did, just, don't have to comment on it in person......"

The uncomfortable expression on his face had been expanding since he entered the room, and it was almost embarrassing at the moment, and the red tide that had faintly spread on his face, which did not tell his real age, was also faintly spreading. That expression was a wonderful contrast to his tall and reliable figure, and this clumsy way of pursuing somehow subtly touched a little of her heart.

What a pity...... If only it were true. Such a thought suddenly floated in the bottom of her heart.

But she was immediately pressed into a corner of her heart.

She raised an eyebrow as if nothing had happened, and suddenly walked towards him, with a brisk step. She quickly stopped in front of him, looking at him with a slightly confused look and looking at her with lowered eyebrows, and suddenly felt that the fatigue of not only having to work hard for the Nine Dao Governance, but also fighting wits and courage with the Three Sun Moon Sect in the past few days suddenly disappeared.

She smiled, lowered her voice to the point that only the two of them could hear it, and suddenly asked, "Yijun, can I express my appreciation?"

As a result, an even more confused look immediately appeared on his face. He nodded blankly, looking unexplained and trusting, and stood waiting for her to express her appreciation for him.

...... However, her discipline was not worthy of his trust. She thought happily.

Then, looking around, she suddenly leaned over and pecked him on the lips, then shrank back more quickly, and regained the upright and awe-inspiring appearance of standing before him.

Goro Fujita: !!

He almost felt as if his face was boiling, and his whole body was like a boiling kettle, with steam about to come out of his head, and a hot current like boiling water was churning in his body, as if the lid of the kettle was about to be lifted by steam, making a croaking alarm.

He couldn't say a word.

And the initiator stood in front of him with a dignified demeanor, and smiled at him with a sly smile that only he could see.

"Yijun, well done. She whispered, a smile on her lips, and her low voice could only be heard by him alone, but she said terrible words that made him stunned.

"Your sincerity is worth the risk of exchanging the truth. ”

The author has something to say: April 5:

Next update: The day after tomorrow (7th) at or before one o'clock in the afternoon.

It's okay if you don't collapse the person.,As for the girl.。。。 Does the girl have someone set up hhh?

In addition, the haiku chosen by Koichi in this chapter was written by the deputy governor before. I said before that the general secretary likes to steal the book of Fengyu's sentence collection from the deputy chief's room and distribute it to everyone, and Xiaoyi, as the assistant chef, must have read and recited it all carefully
