When she heard such an unfamiliar voice, calling her name in a subtle, gentle tone, her brain was confused, and her whole head was buzzing. Book tasting

Almost at the same time, an abnormal, almost weird sense of calmness rose up in her body, dominating her reason, so that she could clearly experience the tangled and painful feeling of tug-of-war between emotion and reason, and more clearly experience—

Even if the voice is the same as the person who remembers, the owner of the voice is not the person who remembers.

That person has been left forever in the wilderness of Hakodate, in a time and space hundreds of years away from today.

She closed her eyes suddenly.

In this brief silence, she closed her eyes for a moment and felt a breeze blow on her face as someone moved, her clothes fluttering, and the luxurious fabrics rustling against each other.

Liu Quan opened his eyes suddenly, and happened to see the Three Days Moon Sect take a step forward from his side. His side face was rarely tense, and his handsome lines inexplicably looked a little sharp.

Liu Quan decisively opened his mouth before the Three Days Moon Sect said "no".

"Welcome to this Honmaru, Daihana-kun. She looked directly at the handsome young man in the straight suit in front of her with a very calm expression, and the corners of her lips twitched into a soft—but standard business smile, and bowed slightly to the young man, aptly expressing the warm welcome of the inquisitor to the latest famous sword—and the sense of alienation as a general.

"I hope you have a great time here. She said, cleverly avoiding the huǒ yào question that almost caused the scene — whether to allow the other person to call her by name.

Then, without looking back, she commanded, "Hasebe-kun, the banquet to welcome the newlyweds, and the arrangements for the newlyweds' residences, etc., all these affairs are left to you to handle." ”

Hasebe had a happy look on his face, as if he was pleased that the female inquisitor had been entrusted with her important task as always, and solemnly replied, "Yes!"

Then, with a smile, the inquisitor bowed to the new young man again and said, "This Hasebe-kun will arrange for you how to settle down in Honmaru next. See you at dinner, Great. ”

Although her gentleness and politeness were just as good, and she was considerate enough to appoint the person who would guide him to settle here, and even the smile on her face was warm and pleasant, but Da Prajna Nagako's eyes slowly narrowed, and a snort seemed to be a laugh in his throat, as if he had agreed to her words, and as if to express some kind of interest in the strange aura of the courtyard after his appearance.

"Uh-huh. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and as the Witch swept past him, as if intending to return to his room, he suddenly turned slightly across his body, slightly obscuring her path.

If the Female Inquisitor wanted to continue walking forward without squinting, her left shoulder would hit his side. So she had no choice but to stop, her eyes moved slightly, and before she could speak, the young man who followed her on the other side of her, wearing a blue hunting robe, with a handsome face but a calm expression, then stopped, and her sharp and cold gaze swept towards the face of the great man.

Of course, Da Prajna Changguang knew him.

He met the other man's sharp eyes, and slowly unfolded a smile that was too bright on his face.

"Well, three days and moons...... Zong Jin...... Jun?" He slowly called out the other person's name in a playful tone, and paused before adding an honorific title after that name.

The Three Days Moon Sect did not respond immediately.

Since the female judge did not speak out immediately, there was a brief silence in the courtyard for a while. A certain atmosphere of low pressure suddenly came to a halt, as if the spring in the courtyard had stopped for a moment.

In the subtle, almost frozen silence, a voice was raised.

"Ahh

Everybody "......"

Willow Springs "......"

This kind of voice is so clear that it almost innocently belongs to one of the most black knives in this Honmaru belly, the mustache cut.

Just looking at his words to dissipate the awkward atmosphere and vague pressure of the scene, you can know that the clear and innocent voice and tone that this man is used to is just a good disguise.

In normal times, Liu Quan is a little bitter about this kind of character. But today, she felt that the mustache cut came just in time, and what she said was just right!

She laughed out loud, pretending not to notice how sinister the atmosphere was just now, and said as if agreeing, "That's right, there is something worth celebrating~ So, let's have a luxurious sushi dinner as a celebration banquet~"

With one hand in his trouser pocket, he walked leisurely down the corridor to the courtyard and towards the willow spring. He looked smiling, as if he was in a good mood.

"I think it's quite lively in the hallway...... Sure enough, you're back. He said as he walked as if he were gossiping, and after saying a word, he had already walked in front of Liu Quan.

As a result, after he walked in front of Liu Quan, he didn't ask about "what's going on here" or "who is this newcomer" or anything like that, but lowered his gaze slightly, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Oh, oh, oh, what fell to the ground?" he said, and then he actually bent down, and naturally picked up the small burden that Liu Quan had just thrown to the ground in order to draw his sword to summon the great Buddha Changguang, and then put a smile on his hand.

"Is it a souvenir that Yukiba-kun brought back?" he asked cheerfully, as if he hadn't noticed the stiffness of the atmosphere, let alone been affected by the strange atmosphere.

Willow Springs "......"

If you stay like this, something will really happen. She thought.

…… Sure enough, she shouldn't expect Mostache to help her. He'll only add fuel to the fire when the atmosphere is weird, like now.

She didn't dare to look back at Da Prajna Changguang's expression - although she guessed that Da Prajna Changguang was not so naïve, and would simply show her emotions on her face to others - but now one or two of them were very affectionately calling her name, and she couldn't stop it, but instead avoided talking about the question of "Can you call you by your name" ...... Is it the same as bullying newcomers?

Liu Quan replied simply, with a stiff question. “…… It is a good thing found in a warehouse in Edo Castle. Hawkers,It's also some kind of acceleration charm.,Imperial guard.,Small judgment or something like that.。 ”

Then, she turned to the Great Mahaka Nagamitsu, but avoided looking at his expression, nor did she look him directly in the eyes—her gaze seemed to drift over his shoulders and toward the clear sky of Honmarukata—and said quickly, "I'll be hosting a welcome party for you at dinner." Also, feel free to call it, there are no strict rules here. ”

Although her tone was a little stiff and rigid, Da Panruo Changguang still smiled.

"That's very good. He paused, and called out meaningfully.

“…… Yukiba-kun. ”

Liu Quan was so frightened in an instant that he felt a subconscious shudder run through his spine.

That voice is too much like the deputy chief...... No, it's almost identical. Such a voice evoked the name she used in that world, and for a moment she felt not pleasure or nostalgia, but—

Subconsciously want to escape.

She quickly lowered her gaze, and instead of answering directly, she said, "...... I have to go on business now. …… Jiro must have some good sake there, so you can have a drink with everyone in the evening. ”

Then, without waiting for the others to speak, she shoved the body knife of the Great Buddha Changguang into Fu Fushen himself, and then strode across the courtyard, down the corridor, and in the direction of her room.

…… It's like running away!

What the hell is going on!, she thought to frustration.

…… But more frustration is yet to come.

The welcome banquet in the evening was lackluster.

Liu Quan is high on the main seat, trying to avoid the opportunity to talk too much with the great Buddha Nagamitsu, but fortunately, Jiro Taidao, Nippon and several other drunk-loving Fu mourning gods frequently persuade them to drink, and they also stir up the hot field; just in time for the big Buddha Changguang seems to love to drink, and leisurely says, "Alas, I really want to have another drink", and drinks a lot of glass after cup - the key is that after drinking so much wine, I don't show any drunkenness!

As a god inquisitor, Liu Quan certainly doesn't like a drunk subordinate - in fact, Nippon Kazujiro is not a drunk either, they are better at pretending to be drunk at first, lowering their opponent's vigilance, and then immediately exuding the king's ...... No, the heroism of the famous sword and the famous gun, taking the opportunity to win - but the painting style of the great Buddha drinking is completely different.

The more drunk the subordinates are, of course, a little troublesome, and the more drunk the subordinates are, the more sober the subordinates are even more headaches.

Especially, when the new subordinates not only became more and more sober the more they drank, but the faint smile on their faces became more and more playful.

Willow Springs "......"

Seeing that the time was not early, and the little shorts had been taken back to sleep by his good brother Yiyin, Liu Quan casually found an excuse to stand up.

"I always feel tired when I come back from the battle...... I'm going to rest today. You don't need to go out tomorrow, you can enjoy today's dinner to the fullest. ”

Of course, if you leave the table early, according to etiquette, you still have to walk around the banquet to be polite. So Liu Quan walked around the hall, stopping from time to time to chat with the mourning gods, and finally, he came to the seat of the great Buddha Changguang.

Da Hanrua Nagamitsu had just been put on the shoulders of the Nippon, laughed heroically and drank several glasses. As soon as the Nippon was let go, Jiro on the other side came in again, wrapped a gourd on the shoulders of the big Panja Nagashi, grinned and said, "Sa, let's have another glass!", and then poured a whole pot of sake from the big Buddha Nagamitsu.

However, after drinking so much wine, Renjiro looked a little drunk, and fell to the ground half-sitting in a corner and humming a song, but Obanya Nagamitsu still sat in his seat in a very good posture, wearing a straight dress that looked like a riding attire—it must have been his inner suit—long legs and a pair of boots, and sat there in a stretched and dashing posture, his eyes fixed on the female presessor who was walking towards him. When she stopped in front of him, the corners of his painted eyes twitched slightly, revealing a smile.

"Why?, are you in such a hurry to go back?" he asked slowly, in a voice that was almost identical to that of the deputy chief.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Liu Quan still hesitated for a moment before he responded with a smile, "I'm not good at drinking, so I'm not used to such occasions...... Besides, the night is already deep. Drinking all night isn't for me. ”

Da Prajna Changguang hummed, her long narrow eyes seemed to narrow slightly, and her gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and then a subtle smile appeared.
