"Stop!" was he about to ride away when he heard the woman shout at him.

Fujiwara Yasuhiro's men involuntarily tightened suddenly, and the horses under the seat seemed to feel uncomfortable from being violently reined in, and immediately neighed, and snorted restlessly and irritably, and spun in place several times.

“...... What do you want to do? Fujiwara's face was full of displeasure - although he had been unhappy since they met, but this time his displeasure seemed to be more obvious.

In stark contrast to his displeasure was the young woman who stopped in front of his horse. She had a bright smile on her face, as if she hadn't noticed that his mount had nearly knocked her down if he hadn't reined in the reins just now.

"I, of course I don't want you to go to the Infinite Light Courtyard~" She actually said it in public without being shy at all.

Fujiwara Taiheng: "What......!?"

He subconsciously blurted out, and just said a word, but he felt that if he showed his surprise (?) at this moment, it would inevitably make him look a little weak, so he immediately bit his tongue and swallowed the following words back.

However, at that moment, he noticed that the beautiful man who claimed to be called "Sanjo" and looked like Major General Sakurame narrowed his eyes slightly.

Subtly, he seemed to feel a kind of pleasure that had finally overwhelmed the opposing camp.

“...... Where I go, I don't need your permission. He replied causticly.

She didn't seem to be angry, but just elongated her voice and said, "This~what~ah——"

As if thinking of something, her gaze instantly crossed his shoulders and fell to the poor attendants who stood behind him, as if they had been stupid.

"Kawada-kun?"

Almost as soon as she called out, one of the attendants shuddered. Then, with a wincing expression, he looked around for a moment, as if he was feeling a little more nervous because no one had spoken out to support him, but he did not dare not respond to the call of Izumi Gozen, so he hesitated and rode out of the group of retinues, stopping behind Fujiwara Taiheng.

"Yes, yes......" his voice sounded a little slurred. "You...... What do you command......

Then, he saw Izumi Gozen and smiled.

"Get your horse out of the way. She brazenly commanded him, "I'm going to the Infinite Light Courtyard too." ”

Jiro Kawada: "......"

"Yes, yes...... But, why am I ......?" he paused for a moment before answering, but did not wait for Lord Taehyung's opposition and anger. He had to answer Izumi Gozen directly and respectfully—of course he didn't dare to refuse her, but he didn't understand why this noble lady, who was usually above the top, would actually mention his name now, so he took advantage of the great opportunity that Lord Taehyung was also present and maybe could support him for a little bit(?), and asked a little more in a trembling voice.

Originally, he thought that he might be angry with Izumi Gozen, but he unexpectedly heard Izumi Gozen's laughing voice.

"Why?...... I just called it casually. ”

A young woman dressed strangely dressed and standing on a mountain road covered with smoke and dust from galloping horses, but calmly sat in the deep mansion of Sakyo, waiting for her admirers to bring her elegant waka, and smiled arrogantly at the man who was timid on the horse.

"Probably, it's because I don't like you. ”

Then, she casually tilted her head slightly to the left, signaling the other party to "come down".

Jiro Kawada had no choice but to dismount as if he were embarrassed and stood on the side of the road.

Izumi Gozen led his six graceful and god-like retinues slowly past Fujiwara Taiheng and walked to the horse.

"Infinite Light Temple, that sounds pretty good. She said with a smile.

And then, she hadn't forgotten the unlucky man she had forcibly snatched the horse.

"Taro, this Kawada-kun will walk with you. Take care of him for me~ After all, he is a rare loyal person who gave up his horse for me~" She commanded lightly.

The black-haired man, who had a handsome face but was simply too tall, answered, and slowly walked to Jiro Kawada's side, holding the large sword that looked to be about seven or eight feet long, and stood motionless beside him in silence.

Jiro Kawada: "......"

He's almost scared to death, okay! When did Izumi Gozen get such a group of "retainers" who were impressive in appearance and momentum, and they couldn't help but be respected and feared!

Then, he saw Izumi Gozen suddenly glance at him lightly. Frightened, he quickly lowered his head, looked at his nose, and looked at his heart, and didn't dare to say another word.

Immediately afterwards, Izumi Gozen's hands—without gloves—were placed on the horse's back and the reins were grasped. However, she did not bend down any of her retinue, all of whom were of various appearances, but all of them were handsome—or, according to her, "retainers" ?—— to help her mount.

Fujiwara Taiheng saw her step directly on the stirrup with her left foot, and then with a slight force, her body turned over and stepped onto the horse's back, not at all clumsy - not at all like a big lady who had to faint in a panic to meet the standard even when she encountered a little thing.

He had the impression that even if he was a son of God, he rode a horse with others. Although Miko is good at swordsmanship and worships one of the eight leaves as a teacher, he is really mediocre in riding - but that is already very outstanding among women.

Now, however, Izumi Gozen, whom he had never treated seriously since coming to Hiraizumi, and who had been wary of her, had shown a new quality in front of him that was even more surprising than the stereotypical and bad image of "an arrogant and willful noblewoman" or "the eyeliner chosen by Kamakura Palace".

Now, perched high on her horse, she was at last able to keep her eyes level with him—and the worse thing was that by the way Kawada, who had just come out of the ranks of his retinue with a cower from the way she had been named, and had come behind him, after she had driven him away, she was now riding up to him so loudly, not caring for the etiquette that she was nominally a side chamber and should not stand on an equal footing with him, and stood beside him, and turned her face to look at him.

In addition, he said in a natural tone, "Aren't we going yet, I also want to see the miraculous power of the Infinite Light Temple." ”

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

For a moment, he felt that this situation was so ridiculous that he had nothing to say.

However, after calming down, I felt that the woman in front of me probably wouldn't be surprised no matter what shocking things she did.

“...... It's not something you should meddle in. He warned her coldly.

"Even if you have the support of Kamakura Hall behind you, in Oshu, after all, you are just a side room. Don't be delusional about things you don't have a right to—"

She laughed when she heard this.

"Lord Taehyung, what did you just say?—— you said that I 'have the support of Kamakura-den behind me', right?"

Compared to his icy anger, she smiled mildly and calmly. That attitude was no different from his impression of the Kamakura Palace-Genji, all with a deep arrogance that was high up in the sky, and it was disgusting because victory was in sight.

"Since I have the support of Kamakura Hall behind me, then I am also a person who has received the favor of Genji, and now Genji's Miko is about to return to the other world, of course I have to care about it. She smiled even sweeter.

Speaking of which, in addition to the fact that her biological father was loyal and commendable, and she herself was smart and clever, Kamakura Hall thought that she was enough to deliver the important task, and that was because she was so beautiful that Kamakura Hall thought that even if she was as high as the leader of Oshu, she should be subjugated to her beauty and mind.

However, he was not the kind of person Kamakura had imagined would succumb to her beauty, or Genji's force. All the people or things that can be used must be fully utilized, and all the means that can be used to help Oshu win must be used, even if it is more ruthless, it should not be a problem for him-

Izumi of Patience is of course one of them.

...... But what an abomination this woman is!

Fujiwara Taiheng was silent for a moment before he said coldly: "...... Don't do anything that will embarrass you!"

The tone gritted his teeth, and every syllable in the words seemed to be slowly squeezed out between the teeth.

Kujo Noriko smiled slightly, as if she hadn't noticed the rain on his face at all.

"Of course. Since I can't stop you, then I'm going to go with you. She said bluntly, not hiding her intentions at all.

Fujiwara Yasuhiro is simply angry.

But this time, unexpectedly, the person who came out to stop her was actually the retainer who looked like a man of the palace.

“...... Thou shalt not act rashly, master. ”

The young man in the blue hunting suit stepped out of the retinue brought by Noriko Kujou, came to the other side of her mount and stood still, speaking in a voice that was neither high nor low.

"If you rush to the Infinite Light Temple, it may lead to unimaginable consequences...... It's not going to do you any good with your plans, so don't be so impulsive. ”

His voice was beautiful—perhaps odd to say from Fujiwara's standpoint—but his demeanor was indescribably graceful, even when he was dissuading his troublesome master.

It was as if this attitude had also caused a certain shock to the arrogant Izumi Gozen. Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she replied as if she had carefully replied:

"There, it's enough to open the rift in time and space and send the White Dragon's Divine Son to the other world. ”

“...... Such an amazing place, I want to see it anyway. ”

Almost at the same time, as soon as her words fell, a violent whirlwind suddenly rolled up on the mountain road!

The wind swept through the woods on the hillside in an instant, swept the sand and rocks, and some of the smaller trees were blown crooked by the sudden gust of wind!

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: !!

Even though he was sitting on a horse, there were some influences. His horse could hardly remain silent, and had to turn and jump a few paces to the side with the wind, snorting and appearing agitated.

Fujiwara immediately grabbed the reins and patted the horse's neck in an attempt to appease him.

But it was at this moment that he heard his own voice—no, the voice of the retainer "Sanjo," whose voice was almost identical to his—and exclaimed, "Master!

Fujiwara Yasuhiro subconsciously cast his gaze in the direction that the man was pointing.

Then, he was stunned to find that in the dense forest, there was gradually a black gas condensing. After the man stopped drinking, the black shadows that had been lurking there behind the tree for some time gradually took shape, and flashed out one by one, and the black hole's eyes flashed with murderous light, and let out a low wheezing.

He heard the woman next to him gasp.

The two of them spoke almost at the same time.

"Here, how can there be a dark fall—"

Before she could finish her words, the commander of the Oshu Fujiwara clan finished the final definition for her.

“...... Wraiths?!"

The author has something to say: June 29:

Tomorrow should be updated by eight in the morning, I'll try to write.

The "resentful spirit" that Taiheng said is the setting of Yao 3.,It's an enemy soldier.,After death, he was summoned back to the world by some spell.,It's possible that it still maintains the appearance of a human.,But it's already a monster that loves to kill.。 The White Dragon Divine Son can purify these resentful spirits, which is the solution once and for all.

In addition, thank you dear love for the bazooka!
