743 741 [Return Chapter IV] 166
Liu Quan was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, she didn't know if it was the kind of thought that "ah, sure enough, it's him, it would be strange if he didn't come", or another kind of "but what is he doing here? he should know that I won't budge in this matter?!".
Two very different thoughts intertwined and scrolled through her mind for a moment, but her apparent composure was still well maintained.
She was stunned for a moment at the shoji door, then walked slowly into the room and placed the cardboard box full of cherry blossoms on the table.
Sanri Yuezong raised his chin slightly and looked at her, and in the few steps she had taken from the door to the table, he had already looked her from top to bottom with his eyes, and finally his eyes fell on the cardboard box. There was a slight glint in his eyes, and then the corners of his lips curled slightly.
"Hahaha, did Xue Yejun bring back the snacks for tea. What a coincidence. Please bring it over and we can enjoy it together. He said kindly.
Liu Quan stopped at the table, then turned to look at him, and did not obediently walk over with the snack box, but just tugged at the front of the thin cardigan he was wearing outside.
"Unfortunately, I don't want to drink tea and eat snacks right now. She replied stiffly.
The Three Days Moon Sect smiled gently.
"Well, you can't say that...... If you have tea and snacks, don't you feel happy?"
"It depends on timing. Liu Quan continued to push his topic back in a stiff tone. "I'm sorry, I don't think it's a good time right now-"
Three days and moon sects have been unheard of her complaints. He leaned slightly to look at her, and now he reached out with a hand and patted him lightly at his side—the corner of the quilt that had been lifted.
"Ahahahaha, come closer...... I've always wanted to say that. He said with a smile, his tone unusually gentle.
...... How many fixed lines in the game has this old man brushed up today?
Liu Quan wanted to sigh, but for some reason she didn't turn away from it. Maybe it's because subconsciously she knows that running away is a useless move - no matter where she goes, as long as he wants to, the old man in front of him will definitely find her-
Hasn't this happened once before? In the world a few years after the Shinsengumi disappeared, in the secret room of the Tokugawa family, who was no longer the shogun, a warm lamp was lit in the corner of the house, and she was caught off guard by Fu Fujin, who was wearing a blue hunting suit, and was pressed against the tatami mat.
Even that scene, when I think about it now, feels like a world away - ah, yes, it really seems to be a different world.
Liu Quan still sighed, then left the table and walked to the side of the Three Moons, but cautiously avoided the position he had indicated earlier - where the quilt lifted a corner - and sat down on his knees on the tatami mat, turned to the Three Moons and asked, "So, now, what is the matter with you?"
She did not obediently come to his assigned position, but the incident did not seem to surprise him at all. Fu Fushen, the most handsome of the five swords in the world, glanced at her, and then, suddenly, he stood up and moved two steps to the side.
Liu Quan: ?!
She couldn't help but look stunned.
Because after the three days Moon Sect stood up, he didn't sit down again close to her as she had guessed, but—
Went straight to the quilt that lifted the corner, stretched out his hand to lift the corner higher, and then calmly drilled in, and also sideways with his right elbow to support the upper body, his left hand maintained the movement of lifting the corner of the quilt, raised his head slightly, and showed her a terrifyingly gentle (?) smile.
"Even in the summer, it's a little chilly at night. If you don't lie down as soon as possible, you might catch a cold. He said calmly in an unusually gentle tone, with a hint of persuasion in his smile.
"Come on, Xue Ye-kun, come here, come to me. ”
Willow Springs: !!
She couldn't say a word, only a thud, the veins of her body seemed to burst, and they were blood-red from head to toe, and every inch of her skin seemed to be hot from embarrassment and irritation, and her brain was buzzing, like the lid of a kettle that had been clattered by steam after it had been boiled.
Cough...... No, to, to be sedated.
She silently commanded herself inwardly, and then felt that her brain, which had burned into a pulp, could not concentrate at all in the face of this crisis, and in order to refocus herself, she ignored his invitation to be pleasant (?) and began to recite in her mind's eye—Pi!
Yes, that's right, memorizing such pure numbers helps the brain to calm down...... By the way, what do you say about the limerick poem made of pi homonyms?
A temple on the top ......of the mountain, a pot of wine, Erle;
Three days and moon sect near: ^_^
Seeing that her face was blue and red (?), he was not busy continuing to urge her, but just turned sideways, supported his head with his hands, and looked at her with a smile.
The dim light cast a shadow under the thin quilt lifted by his left hand, and he couldn't see his body hidden under the quilt clearly, but from the direction of the lifted quilt, it looked like the entrance of a huge black hole, as if she would immediately eat her flesh and bones as soon as she got closer.
Ahem, sedation.
However, even the most boring pi could not stop her brain from coagulating.
The more Liu Quan carried his back, the more impetuous, and in his heart he almost wanted to pull out this uncompetitive self and whip him seventeen or eighteen times.
...... Why!!
She still remembers the first night she came to this Honmaru, the second Kanbanro Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who is also the lover of thousands of girls' dreams, wasn't she also wearing a bed clothes, lying in her bed, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips, calling her to go over for "bedtime"!!
Obviously, at that time, she was able to be a beautiful man and her color remained unchanged, and she invited Tsurumaru Kuninaga out of the bedroom with righteousness and awe! Looking back now, her indifferent and upright attitude at that time is really worth giving 666 likes to her own discipline!
Obviously, her brain and blood vessels were still running normally at that time, and she had no intention of exploding at all, so why was she so fragile now! She was completely vulnerable! It must be because after a hard and long battle, her mental defense line tended to collapse because she was too tired! This cunning old man was completely taking advantage of the danger of others! Taking advantage of the danger of others! Is it okay to ask him to leave with a negative score!
When she was still standing in place and hesitating, the Three Days Moon Sect suddenly sighed slightly.
Then, he lowered his left hand, still supporting his head with his right hand, looking at the willow spring with a cloudy face on his face.
"Think about it, Yukiba-kun, if you still haven't recovered enough spiritual power to show up tomorrow morning, how panic those lovely children of the Awataguchi family will be. ”
His tone was very calm, as if he was just recounting the facts, but Liu Quan was terrified, and suddenly his hairs stood on end, and cold sweat oozed from his back.
"I ...... No, the ......," she stammered, as if she couldn't say anything.
The Three Days Moon Sect sighed slightly.
Then suddenly changed to a topic that Liu Quan didn't guess at all.
"Hahaha, I really envy the first issue. ”
Liu Quan: "...... Huh?!"
Three days Moon Sect bent his eyebrows in the near future.
"There are so many people looking forward to his return. ”
Liu Quan: ?
Seeing her change from a defensive expression to a question mark on her face, the smile on Sanri Yue Zongjin's face seemed to be deeper.
"You should have noticed it too. ”
Liu Quan: "...... What?"
For some reason, her rhetorical question deserves to be very weak-hearted, and she even seems to be lacking in confidence when she speaks. However, the Three Days Moon Sect did not chase after this point, but lowered his eyelids slightly.
"In this honmaru, everyone has a companion who they identify and are closer to themselves. ”
Liu Quan: "...... Huh?"
The Three Days Moon Sect smiled slightly.
"Tsurumaru, for example, he's closer to Candlestick Cut and Daijuri—well, maybe because they used to be Date Masamune's sword. ”
Liu Quan: "Oh......"
Mikazuki continued to smile and said, "Then, there are also the swords of the Shinsengumi that you are familiar with, which are also self-contained. Usually when you stay together, you can divide it into 'Okita Soji's knife' and 'Hijikata Suizo's knife', but when something happens, they naturally stand together, such as the day you first came to this Honmaru. ”
Liu Quan: "Oh...... That's right, ......."
Sanri Moon Zongjin: "Well, there are also the knives who came to send, the Awataguchi family, the three brothers of Zuo Wen, and the Huche family......"
Liu Quan: "So you're actually here to analyze the major factions of Honmaru with me today......?"
Her whispered complaint finally made the Three Days Moon Sect stop the behavior of the Honmaru Sword Sect. Then, quietly, he raised his eyes and glanced at her quickly.
"Yukiba-kun, do you know anything about the Sanjo faction? ”
Liu Quan: "...... Ah, it seems...... Didn't know much about ......."
She shamefully admitted the holes in her knowledge, while trying to search her mind for information about the Sanjo faction. However, for some reason, in retrospect, even Saitoichi, who could talk about swords and sword factions for three days and three nights, didn't seem to mention the swords of the Sanjo faction much.
In her memory, Koichi had mentioned the Ryō faction, the Nagasoe faction, and even the Awataguchi faction in casual conversation—the parts that the two of them had repeatedly mentioned, and his only Taidao "Ichijo Ichijo", were the most impressive to her - however, it seemed that he had never talked about the Sanjo faction.
...... Even if she doesn't have a deep understanding of the Sanjo faction, she knows that the swords that everyone nicknames the "Sanjo Gangster Faction" in this work, Kokomaru, Ishikimaru, Iwarong, and Imaken...... It stands to reason that any of them should be impressive?!
She unconsciously spoke her mind.
“...... Although I didn't know much about the Sanjo Sword School before, I also knew that in addition to you, Kokomaru, Ishikimaru, Iwarong, and Ijinjian ...... Either one should be an impressive presence—"
Three Days Moon Sect snorted softly. There seemed to be a strange ingredient in the laughter that interrupted her.
Liu Quan: ?
The Three Days Moon Sect lowered his gaze again. From Liu Quan's point of view, he held his head with his right hand, his eyes drooping slightly, and the light cast a dark shadow on his long eyelashes, and the faint smile on his face seemed to be faint under the dim light of the room.
"Kokomaru, Iwarong, Imaka ......" he repeated the name of the sword mentioned by Liu Quan, curling the corners of his lips slightly.
"They're all knives that don't exist in the world. ”
Liu Quan: "...... Huh?!"
Shamefully, although she had played this game in the real world a long time ago, she had not been a chieftain for 10,000 years, and she was not at the Cape of Good Hope, except for the two relatively easy swords of Ijinken and Ishikimaru, none of the other swords of the Sanjo Sword Sect had been used, so let alone studying the hidden background of these knives that did not exist in her sword tent at all.
So now the words of the Three Days Moon Sect are like a slap in the face to her.
She was so shocked that she immediately forgot that she still had to face a big crisis that seemed to be in bed.
"How...... How so?!" she blurted out, stunned.
The Three Days Moon Sect curled the corners of his lips almost silently.
"It's great to see them here again. ...... Ishikimaru is still so honest and reliable. ”
Liu Quan: "So ............? Nice......
Listening to her tone, which was full of confusion and completely unable to comprehend his true meaning, the Three Days Moon Sect laughed softly.
...... That's it. Next, give her a real sword kill.
Thinking so, he suddenly unleashed the final blow.
"But, it's a pity. He said calmly.
"Even if it's a companion, a friend, or a fellow student, you know they can trust ......"
"But sometimes, I still feel like I can't really get close to them. ”
He suddenly lowered his right hand, supported himself with his elbows, raised his upper body slightly, and tilted his head slightly, staring at the female inquisitor who was a few steps away from him.
"Didn't you feel this when you were a member of the Shinsengumi?"
Liu Quan: !?
Sanri Moon Zongjin had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was calm, but the eyes staring at her seemed to contain some kind of powerful, undeniable and undeniable courage, as if he wanted to firmly grasp her heart.
"You're surrounded by trusted companions and friends...... But you can't really get close to them. ”
"When the decisive moment comes, you're still on your own—"
The eyes with the crescent moon shone with a strange light, as if it could shine into her heart that had been hidden for a long time.
"Don't you want to find someone who can understand your choice, tolerate your hardships, and fight for you with all his might, no matter how ugly you are, Yukiha?"
Willow Springs: !!
