The author has something to say: August 12:

If you want to see grandpa, wait! grandpa will send candy after this plot!

Let me finish the part of Haruka 3 first, although it seems that there are not many girls who like Haruka 3 now, I also want to tenaciously give everyone Amway [mud and dirt].

Well, let's continue with yesterday's soundtrack today.

The soundtrack of this chapter: The ending song of "Dancing in Distant Time and Space, One Night", "はらり, ひらり" (Falling Slowly).

Liu Quan: ?!

Her eyes widened, and the phrase "What did you say" was already on her lips, but she swallowed it raw.

His hand rested briefly on her shoulder as he had just put on her cloak. However, at this moment, he paused slightly, as if it took a little strength to say the following words.

"Noriko. ”

It was the first time she had heard him call himself by that name.

Liu Quan couldn't help but blink, tilted his chin slightly, and stared at his darkened eyes, which had become deeper.

As if sensing her gaze, Fujiwara Yasuhiro chuckled, but instead withdrew the hand that was gently on her shoulder, took a step back, and stood up straight.

“...... Noriko, you and I have already chosen our own paths. ”

This time, when he spoke, the cold tone was gone, and the end was curling, as if he was sighing.

"I guess, I won't see you again. ”

Liu Quan took a deep breath.

The last sentence, he had just said to the Son of God.

But his tone at that time was very different from what it sounds now. The emotions contained are not the same.

She suddenly felt a little hot in her eyes...... No, maybe it's hot-headedness.

I feel obligated to say something. I also feel the urge to say something. Even if he can't tell him what will happen next, at least those past experiences, those brief experiences that began with coldness and defensiveness and ended with fighting side by side, will forever remain in the hearts of those who have left, even if he showed disgust and cold eyes and wanted to shake her off, even if she killed his father in a certain reincarnation-

"Even so, I would like to say ......"

She heard her own voice, slowly, word for word.

"It's great to meet each other. ”

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: ?!

His dark eyes widened slightly in surprise.

But Kujo's next sentence was not what he had guessed, but with a hint of gloom - an apology.

“...... I'm sorry that I couldn't undo some things on my own. ”

Her gaze lowered slightly, and the hand that had just been holding the sword bravely fighting, her slender five fingers now tightly grasping the corner of the purple cloak he was wearing on her shoulder. Standing so close to her, he could almost make out her long eyelashes, fluttering slightly with apologetic and sad feelings.

What was she referring to? Was Kamakura-den's ambition for Oshu indelible? or...... In order to fight against such ambitions and protect the land that the Fujiwara clan has loved for a hundred years, he must choose to kill his father?

“...... No, that's not your fault. ”

He unconsciously made a sound.

Hearing his voice, Kujo Noriko raised her eyes again in surprise. At this moment, he suddenly found that her eyes were dark and bright, as if there was a deep pool inside, and his own face was reflected in the deep pool.

Ah, why have I never looked at this face and these eyes seriously for so many days ago?

He wanted to turn his face away, but for some reason he was a little reluctant, and finally wanted to say something more, but found that his tone was very stiff.

"I'm not down to the point where I want to blame the ...... for failure No, to blame the woman. ”

However, when she heard the awkward words, she blinked in surprise, then bent her eyebrows and smiled.

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

Surprisingly, he just felt speechless for a while, but he didn't feel angry.

He suddenly found that by staying with her like this, his heart could finally get rid of that chaotic and noisy state, and at this moment it was as warm and calm as the golden glow and sparkling water in the courtyard of immeasurable light, which was still stubbornly cast in the gap of the dark clouds.

However, this feeling is temporary. She's leaving.

And at this moment, what Kujo Noriko - no, Yanagizumi - thought of in his heart was what Miko Wangmi said when he said goodbye to Fujiwara Yasuhiro in the original work.

[Even if we won't meet again......]

She spoke up unconsciously.

"Even if we won't see each other again......"

[I have met you once, and this fact will never go away...... Even if you're here, I'm traveling to a distant world]

"You and I have met once, and this fact will never go away...... Even if you're here, I'm traveling to distant ...... Where-"

She didn't notice that the dark pupils of Fujiwara Taiheng in front of her seemed to shake slightly, revealing a wavering look.

She just followed her thoughts earnestly.

“...... I will also remember that I met such a person as you in this place of Mutsu. ”

She smiled slightly, and there seemed to be an honest sigh in her tone.

"It's different from what others said at first, and it's not what I imagined......"

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: ?!

His deep pupils widened slightly for a moment, and he heard her say in an emotional tone, "Unexpectedly...... He's a good guy. ”

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

He didn't know what to say.

It was the first time in his life that he was so frankly praised for being "a good person". This freshness came with a wave of embarrassment, helplessness, and helplessness that didn't know how to react.

He wanted to say, "What do you say?", "Do you need to say this kind of thing, I am meant to be", and "You can't even praise people frankly!", but in the end, he felt that all these words were not accurate.

None of them could express what he really felt in his heart at the moment.

He was still thinking about how to answer her when he heard her say another impressive remark.

She said, "...... Will always remember you. ”

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: !!

His eyes widened uncontrollably and OOC for a moment.

Immediately, he lowered his expression and felt that he wanted to smile for some reason. But where did the laughter come from, and why—did he want to laugh at her wishful thinking?, or was he relieved by the fact that he didn't want to delve into it anymore?—— he didn't want to go any further.

"Really...... You're such a strange person. ”

He sighed, looking down at her bright dark eyes.

Then he took another step back and turned his face away.

“...... Let's go. He said stiffly.

After saying this, there was a sudden silence between them.

A moment later, she suddenly pulled his large cloak from her shoulder, and thrust it into his arms.

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: !?

He didn't expect Kujo Noriko to do this, and his body stiffened slightly.

And she seized this opportunity, lowered her head, turned around, and hurriedly strode towards the gate of the Infinite Light Courtyard.

Behind her, the six retainers, who ranged from beautiful boys to beautiful men, but all attracted attention, silently converged behind her from their respective standings, and soon formed a loose formation behind her, hugging her and walking out, their tall figures completely obscuring her back, cutting off his gaze.

Liu Quan strode all the way to the door of the Infinite Light Courtyard, for fear that he would relent. But what will she do when she relents? she can't do anything.

Nothing can be done – and that's what makes it all the more sad.

The horse they rode was still at the gate of the Infinite Light Courtyard, and when they passed by the "high black", Liu Quan glanced at it slightly. It may have noticed the sudden sound of footsteps, and tilted its head to look, its large, bright eyes staring at Willow Spring.

Kunihiro Horikawa couldn't help but sigh: "It's really exactly the same as the horse in Honmaru......"

Izumi Shouji, who often runs away from Madangfan: "Ha, haha...... Isn't it...... it is, it's arrogant to death......!

Liu Quan: "......"

She knew that it was because she was acting a little depressed, so they deliberately brought up other topics to lighten the mood, and she was touched by such thoughtfulness.

However, when she saw Takakuro, Horikawa Kunihiro and Kane-san thought of Honmaru and Madangban, but what she thought of was the brother of Fujiwara Taiheng who rode Takakuro and would lose the entire Atsukashiyama fortification, and then lose his life, and his death would make his younger brother go to the point of exhaustion, set fire to the Hiraisenkan, and-

Then, the voice of the system bacteria suddenly echoed rigidly in her head.

[The player has completed the hidden quest "Raiders of Oshu."] Since the task is not sent directly by the system, for the sake of insurance, the system now automatically enables the inspection mechanism of the person who is the subject of the scanning task. 】

A pause at the foot of Willow Spring!

The voice of the system bacteria continued mechanically and flatly:

[The process takes five minutes.] 】

Liu Quan: ?!

Immediately, a barrage of unrelated, jumble lines—all in Fujiwara's voice, in different tones, and in different words—flooded into her brain.

[A pair of ...... Don't want to see me die...... Is it sincere......]

[What did you do to my father?]

[You have many beautiful men hiding in this "Fujisenkan" given to you by my father, do you think I don't know?]

[I hope that as my father said, I can see more valuable qualities in you——]

【...... There is no point in saying such things at all. 】

She still has an impression of these. What followed, however, was an even more confusing and confusing pile of words.

【...... Until the end, I don't know what your name is.

Willow Springs: !!

Miscellaneous...... What do you mean?!

[You, you're not the real Nine Rules, are you]

Liu Quan was shocked.

The system bacteria also seemed to be a little shocked, because along with these two sentences that Fujiwara Taiheng had never said to her face-to-face, there was a long and urgent siren, drip~drip~drip-

However, with the rush of the siren, Fujiwara Taiheng's voice was still sounding steadily.

[Did Kamakuraden let you replace her in the first place?, so you couldn't disobey his orders?]

Liu Quan: "...... Huh?!"
