There are two inquisitors at the same time in this honmaru, in fact, there are still some inconveniences.

...... Especially at night.

When Ryuzumi returned from the Divine Inquisitor's bathroom—she had also made a point of letting Gojo Hitomi use the bathroom first, so it was already a quiet time when she returned to her room after taking a shower—and as soon as she pushed open the shoji door of her bedroom, she sighed for the thousandth and first time.

Sure enough, there was a person sitting upright next to the bed.

“...... I remember that I had already instructed Hasebe to prepare the guest room today, so—" She felt the helpless sigh in her voice almost turn into substance.

The most beautiful one among the five swords in the world, Hearing this, he slowly revealed a harmless smile.

"Aha, but this honmaru is already overcrowded. It's a bit reluctant to pack up the storage room and use it as a guest room. He explained kindly, as if how reasonable he was to solve a big problem for Hasebe, who had a heart to every day, and how empathetic he was.

"Besides, are you going to let me sleep in the pantry?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows slightly, and in a helpless tone, as if lost.

"I didn't expect Xue Ye-kun to be such a ruthless person......"

Liu Quan: "......"

She walked into the room with a wooden face, closed the shoji door with her backhand, and wiped her undried hair with a towel on her shoulder, as if trying to hide her discomfort.

"You're going to come here anyway with or without permission......" she replied stiffly, and walked to the closet in the other corner of the room with a large full-body mirror, wiping her wet hair while trying to untie her slightly knotted hair with the help of the reflection in the mirror—and with this gesture, she also turned her back to the three days of the moon, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, to express her displeasure in silence.

However, her knotted hair was not completely untied, and her eyes suddenly widened when she looked in the mirror!

Because the three days of the moon had gotten up from the side of the bed at some point, and slowly walked behind her.

He was tall enough to block out more than half of the light from the lamp on the table when he stood behind her, and in the sudden dimming of the light, he leaned slightly down her cheek, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Because I want to know, is it a good time to talk about what is happening in that room during the day?"

Willow Springs: !!

She let go of her hand wrestling with her hair, but she didn't dare to turn her face away—they were so close to each other that she could touch his close lips as soon as she turned in his direction, a situation she didn't want to see. So she could only stiffen her body, and her voice sounded stiff.

"I ...... I don't know what you're talking about. These things are better to wait until Miss Hitomi is gone—"

"Nope. Mikazuki Zong was still smiling, leaning close to her right ear, and whispered.

"When you send Hitomi-kun away, you'll have something else to do...... And then, one thing after another, if you want to, you can never have a good time to talk about it — and that's something I think is important. ”

"So...... Answer me now, Yukiba-kun. I can't wait for tomorrow. ”

His breath lingered in her ears, a little itchy, a little deep, palpitating and alarming, and she couldn't help but shiver.

The Three Days Moon Sect was almost unaware of this, and asked a question like a proposition with a smile.

"So, what kind of opportunity were you facing that day, so tempting that you could hardly turn it down?"

"Yes...... You can go to those past times, forever...... Stay with Hijikata-kun or Saito-kun and ...... me And everything we have here is abandoned?"

Willow Springs: !!

When Sanri Yuezong was speaking, his hands also fell on her shoulders intentionally or unintentionally. When his last question came out, he didn't let go of her, but played with the half-wet ends of her shoulders with his left hand as if nothing had happened.

His face was still next to her right ear, and in the mirror, the handsome face smiled pleasantly, as if it were so gentle and harmless.

The eyes of the two of them met in the mirror. For a while, the two of them looked at each other quietly in the shadow of the mirror, as if they could see each other's hearts through the shadow in the mirror.

Then, Liu Quan sighed silently, as if he had simply given up this wrestling of sight.

"No...... Not really. "In fact...... Fujisawa-kun did not mention Mr. Hijikata or Kazukun. ”

"The ...... he mentioned," she said here, hesitated, lowered her gaze, and said it honestly.

“...... It's another person. Someone you've never met and don't know. ”

Three Days Moon Sect Near:?

He gently stroked the tips of her hair, and his fingertips paused slightly. Although there is still a slight smile on the corner of his lips, that smile has lost the sincerity inside, and it seems a little fake, like a mask.

"Oh?!" he asked, as if interested, "and one more ...... Is such a person? He was to Xue Ye-kun...... Otherwise, that Fujisawa-kun wouldn't have been used as a trump card today—"

He dragged out his voice slowly, and then heard her chuckle interrupt his insincere speculation.

“...... Honestly, he's the first person in the world to explicitly tell me that he wants to be my lover. ”

Three Days Moon Sect: ?!

Even if he was one of the five swords in the world leisurely and calmly, he couldn't help but have a deep pupil in an instant, and his gaze became extremely cold!

"Oh~?!" he said in a tone that sounded extremely interesting, but in fact there was a hint of danger hidden behind it.

“...... Unexpectedly, there is such a person. He said with a sigh, and his tone sounded like he was emotional.

"When did Yukiba-kun meet him...... I think it must have been before we met——?

The Divine Inquisitor lowered her gaze, not denying his speculation.

This acquiescence made his chest feel anxious and unprepared that the situation was out of his control, and the most beautiful of the five swords in the world, Fu Fushen, paused, slowly straightened up, and bent his eyebrows—there was no trace of a smile in the depths of those famous eyes.

"Oh?" he seemed surprised—and in a tone as if he were merely a cordial friend, standing on the sidelines of the explosive news, and showing a moderate curiosity to inquire further.

"How long ago was that...... I didn't expect that Xue Ye-kun would hide this secret for so long~"

He casually continued to play with the half-wet ends of her hair hanging down her shoulders as if it were so funny, and then he sighed with a smile.

“...... Xue Yejun actually hid this person's existence until now. If it weren't for the 'big man' who took him out as a killer weapon to blackmail you, maybe I wouldn't have known to this day that there was once such a person hidden deep in your heart?"

His tone was normal, and his leisurely, smiling tone sounded exceptionally mild and harmless, but the atmosphere that enveloped the two of them slowly grew cold.

Compared to the ambivalent atmosphere he exuded, she was as calm as a deep pool—serene, silent, and no matter how many turbulent undercurrents tumbled beneath the surface, there was still not a ripple on the surface of the pool.

And this reaction undoubtedly made a feeling rise in his heart that was unfamiliar to him-

As he struggled to discern what it felt, he heard her speak.

"I haven't said it before, I'm sorry. ”

Her voice echoed through the quiet and dimly lit room in the middle of the night, and she unexpectedly didn't hear much apology, but a faint sense of amazement.

"Later, when I thought I should say it...... In fact, there is no need to say any more. ”

...... What the hell is she talking about?!

The Three Days Moon Sect slowly frowned. After the calm expression that was always smiling faded, a layer of indescribable emotion faintly appeared on that beautiful face—but the existence of that obviously negative emotion made him no longer look so high, as if he was a god who had always stood high on the altar of the gods, descended into the red dust, and came to the world.

Perhaps sensing the subtle changes in his aura, the Divine Inquisitor raised her head and glanced at him in the mirror.

Then, she smiled apologetically—the Three Days Moon Sect had made it clear this time, and the apology in her smile was not aimed at "I never told you that there was such an important person in my life", but for "I just said it was too obscure for you to understand, sorry".

...... So he became even more angry.

His extremely delicate eyebrows were lowered slightly, the corners of his smiling lips were lowered downward, and his lips were pursed tightly. The pair of eyes that were painted like foxes with dark black and red eyeliner and flying obliquely at the corners of their eyes had completely calmed down at this moment, and the corners of their eyes were no longer smiling, but had a kind of cold spirit that was about to come from the mountain rain.

All in all, the usual gentle, friendly, amiable, and hopeful aura of his body has completely disappeared.

Now he looks more in line with his identity as a "famous knife among famous knives" - cold, powerful, dangerous, unattainable, unfathomable, inviolable-

But all this seemed to have completely unaffected the female inquisitor who was close at hand in front of him. Facing the powerful aura emanating from him, she calmly looked back at him from the mirror.

"I'm sorry, I just said that, I don't understand......" She even reiterated the two sentences she had just said.

"In the past, I didn't feel the need to tell a god like you about my past. She said.

"Even if I later became your inquisitor, I don't think I have the power to enslave you from above...... In other words, while I may have given you a lot of instructions in the past, to me you are not so much my subordinate as my companion, or...... Taller than that, a respectable and difficult senior......"

The Divine Inquisitor said in an unexpectedly frank tone, and at this point she curled the corners of her lips and smiled, as if she was not at all oppressed by the momentum of the Three Days Moon Sect.

"Later, finally...... Do I think I should tell you frankly that there was such a person...... But before I made up my mind, I understood one thing—"

"From now on, I will probably never see this person again. ”
