"As you can see, I will go to the Government of the Time tomorrow to receive an emergency mission. She said calmly, looking down for a moment, deciding that there was not much time for tonight, and that she had better go straight to the point.

"It's hard to tell if our act of accidentally straying into an abandoned Honmaru and retreating hastily during the day today was discovered by the staff of the government of the time. She said.

"But since I didn't choose to report to the government of the time as soon as I returned to Honmaru this afternoon, it is not impossible that I will be held accountable by the government of the time tomorrow if I have to be held accountable by the government of the time. ”

Three days and moon sect near: "Oh." ”

His response was so simple, so simple that it was hard to peek into any of his inner thoughts from the words. However, Liu Quan did not expect him to respond immediately with any touching or uplifting, so she continued calmly.

"So, can you answer me a question? ”

This sentence seemed to be a bit unexpected to him, and the Three Days Moon Sect turned his face recently, with an interested look on his face.

"Oh"

Yanagizumi didn't look at him, still maintaining a posture of looking straight ahead, and said, "How did she leave, the lover of Tsurumaru, the God Inquisitor who established this Honmaru in the first place?"

Hearing this, something similar to a shadow shook in the eyes of the Three Sun Moon Sect for a moment.

"She," he dragged out his last note slightly, as if he was groaning, as if he was sighing.

She didn't say more, just waited patiently.

After a while, the Three Days Moon Sect sighed with a smile, shook his head, and said as if talking to himself, "Oh, when did you start to become so stubborn?"

Willow Springs""

However, the Three Days Moon Sect did not continue to pretend to be stupid in front of her. After that sigh, his tone changed, sounding calm and objective, almost cold.

"For some reason, it was taken away by the government of the time. ”

His beautiful magnetic voice froze.

"At that time, the person she trusted was none other than Tsurumaru, and I was an ordinary sword to her, and I didn't receive any other news or instructions from her except for going out into battle and being inward."

"So, when the staff of the government at that time suddenly appeared in this Honmaru, saying that it was because there was something wrong with one of the tasks she was responsible for, and she needed to go to the government of the time to report on her work, although everyone thought it was strange, but they could only accept it After all, this reason was too legitimate, and there was no reason for everyone to draw a knife against the staff of the government of the time in order to protect the inquisitor."

Finally hearing something related to that year, Liu Quan's eyes widened slightly.

The Three Days Moon Sect was still calmly narrating.

"At that time, although I felt that something was wrong, everyone basically chose to accept it because it was also the choice of the God Inquisitor. ”

His voice echoed silently in the courtyard in the dead of night.

She nodded so calmly, said I know, went back to the room to change her clothes, walked out calmly, and left with the two staff members. ”

"Ahh There was a hint of a mocking smile in his voice.

However, she never returned. ”

As a result, the Three Moons Sect ended his narrative with a concise and powerful sentence.

Liu Quan was almost choked by this sudden turn of story development.

"So no one knows her whereabouts since then, whether she was dismissed, or whether she voluntarily resigned in order to take responsibility, what kind of work mistakes can lead to such a result, and at that time, her spiritual power level was already very dangerously low?"

She suddenly turned her face to stare at the Three Days Moon Sect, and threw out a lot of questions in one breath. However, the Three Days Moon Sect only smiled.

"In the end, the explanation we have heard is that the Inquisitor is no longer qualified for the position of Inquisitor because of the irreparable lack of spiritual power for a long time, and because of the serious problems in her personal health during the long and arduous period of going out and work, if she is not properly treated, she may be in danger of her life, so after negotiation, the Inquisitor agrees to take the initiative to receive retirement pay and return to the present world to recuperate. The follow-up work of this Honmaru will be taken over by the most suitable new person selected by the government at the time. ”

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.

"Serious health problems"

The Three Moons smiled closely.

"Ahh Speaking of which, she does usually look pale, and she doesn't hold a sword all day long like you do, and go out with the sword man actively. He said leisurely.

"All year round, it seems that she is extremely cold, but at that time, we just guessed that this condition was caused by her lack of spiritual power, but we didn't think that there would be any problems with her health. ”

Liu Quan: "Well, you're right, but"

"Of course, when this decision was announced, it was not that no one questioned it"

As soon as Liu Quan wanted to ask "who is questioning", he suddenly thought of a very likely inference, and was almost immediately shocked.

"That's why the Yakuken was shattered、Later, I tried my best to return to Honmaru.,But the memory has been erased.,It's because"

Three Days Moon Sect stared at her, slowly curling his eyebrows.

"So, I think the so-called health problems of the original God Inquisitor may be a bit strange. ”

He didn't directly affirm her reasoning. However, this answer is not much different from a direct affirmation.

Liu Quan was extremely shocked and couldn't help but shudder.

"So, what did she find out that would have caused such a terrible end," she said to herself, lowering her eyes and staring thoughtfully at the small piece of roof tiles between the two of them.

The Three Days Moon Sect curled the corners of his lips almost silently, revealing a mocking smile.

"In that case, do you still insist on any unexpected mission for the government when you go tomorrow? He said slowly.

Liu Quan was silent for a long time.

She wanted to say, "I'm different from her", she wanted to say, "Don't worry, my force value may be 10,000 times higher than hers", she wanted to say, "My discovery is definitely far inferior to hers, so I probably won't be subjected to such a drastic treatment", and she also wanted to say, "Don't worry, I still have a reliable system bacteria, and it shouldn't sit back and watch me be disposed of as a spicy chicken by the government of the time and pretend to be deaf and dumb"

In the end, however, she didn't say anything.

Her gaze slowly extended along the small piece of dark gray roof tiles to his body in a blue underwear and thermal underwear for the elderly, and then slowly meandered along his long legs

At some point, he had taken it off his lap and was now propping up on the ridge of the roof at his side, the left hand.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she slowly stretched out her right hand, leaning over little by little, along the straight line of the ridge, inch by inch to the left hand he had placed there, and at last her fingertips touched the back of his left hand.

Sankatsuki Sect lowered his gaze and watched silently as her right hand moved, and as the tip of her right finger brushed the back of his hand and finally covered his left hand, he raised his eyes and stared at her face.

"You're still going, aren't you. He asked quietly, smiling suddenly, with a faint self-deprecating smile in his tone.

"It's like a long time ago in the fields of Hakodate, you begged me to be on your side, just so that you could run to another man later"

Liu Quan was silent, slowly bent the five fingers of his right hand, and held his warm left hand under his palm. Then, too, she looked up, not at all evasive, and looked straight back at him.

"Three days and moons. She called out to him.

She didn't add any honorific title to that name.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to stare at her quietly, not responding.

She didn't seem to mind if he responded or not, and continued to look at him eagerly as she spoke

"Can I ask you for something?"

"Please don't stop me. ”

Mikazuki still didn't answer her. However, I don't know if a scene hidden deep in his memory was suddenly brought back to his mind, and his breathing gradually became a little heavy.

Of course, the change in his aura did not escape her attention. The corners of her lips curled slowly.

"Because, in this world, the only thing I can ask for and trust is the three days and the moon. ”

At that moment, the Three Days Moon Sect widened his famous pupils slightly.

However, he still did not respond to her.

So she leaned forward slightly, drawing closer to him, her bright gaze, slightly curled lips, and even slightly dry lips, which seemed to appear clearer in his eyes in the moonlight.

"I promise. She said.

"Never give up your life lightly, nor succumb to unfair disposition or fate. ”

"I'm not the original Inquisitor of this Honmaru. I'll never be her. ”

"I'm sure now"

She paused slightly, then said something that even he was shocked.

"It's not for nothing that I'm going to come here and become the inquisitor of this Honmaru. ”

"Now, I'm going to move towards the truth behind that reason. Because if I don't do this, one day I will be like the inquisitor who established this honmaru, and after losing my spiritual power and importance, I will be discarded at will and kicked away by those big people."

"I can't watch myself fall into such misery. There was a defiant and arrogant smile in her voice.

Three Days Moon Sect's eyes widened in slight surprise.

Then, suddenly, he leaned forward slightly. The movement almost wiped out the distance between the two of them in an instant, the tip of his nose almost touching hers, his breath blowing on her face.

"Why"

He asked in a hoarse voice.

She blinked, as if for a moment she was a little nervous by the atmosphere that was too close, and the aura that lingered ambiguously between the two of them, but she quickly reacted, a slight smile rising from the corners of her eyes.

"Because, everyone is in this world where you also exist, and I want to stay a little longer. She replied with a smile.

The Three Days Moon Sect seemed to be slightly stunned. Then, a hoarse muffled laugh spilled out of his throat.

He just smiled, hooked her chin with his right hand, which was not being held by her, and put his lips close to hers, and said, "In that case, I'll help you too." ”

Liu Quan blinked, and just as he wanted to ask "how to help", he heard his next sentence.

"Let's start with the spiritual power first. ”

Before he could finish his words, his lips covered hers.

However, unlike the "spiritual replenishment" kiss she had imagined, this one was gentle and calm, and he didn't even pry open her lips and teeth with the nimble tip of his tongue and poke into her mouth like the previous kisses. And the hand he had just used to lift her chin had been retracted at some point.

Now, the two of them sat side by side on the highest ridge of Honmaru, facing the bright crescent moon that hung high in the night sky. Her right hand grasped his, and they turned their faces slightly to each other, their lips silently overlapping, and the white and bright moonlight gently shone on them.
