Later, Shoji Fujisawa left the office for the second time.

Originally, the office was not his own, but an office used to monitor various sub-worlds, which is why so many hidden but non-stop surveillance screens were set up on the desktop and walls.

So, in fact, from the very beginning, Shoji Fujisawa's idea was to get her to agree to the position of "monitoring the unstable world", right?

From the beginning, he didn't think she had the ability to bring Munakata Reiji here—or rather, he hadn't thought of bringing Munakata Reiji, who was the pillar of that world, here. The importance of Reiji Munakata to that world, Shoji Fujisawa should know better than her.

If she succumbs to her weakness and tries to trick Reiji Munakata into coming here, perhaps hiding the truth that the world will collapse after Reiji Munakata leaves it, Shoji Fujisawa will also act in time to cut off the last link between her and that world and prevent the collapse of that world.

Of course, at that point, maybe she won't even be able to keep her position as an Inquisitor - because she's already proven herself untrustworthy, and as a Inquisitor, there's no way she'll never go to the Restoration or the Ikedaya map, right?

...... So now, she had passed the test perfectly, received the approval of her new superiors, and presented a ladder of promotion in front of her—if she wanted to, maybe in a few years, she would have risen to her current position, and she would have the power of life and death over other god inquisitors or other subworlds.

But that comes at the cost of tears of eternal farewell and the renunciation of the past.

will also give up the second-hand Honmaru that she finally got as an additional price.

Liu Quan still stood in front of the surveillance wall that flashed with many different images, his eyes fell on the light screens on the wall, but he seemed to be distracted.

After a long time, she suddenly curled the corners of her lips and smiled absently.

Didn't the deputy chief say after escaping from the Kaneko Mansion in the Flowing Mountains that he couldn't be a cowardly person like the Shogun, who only cared about protecting himself and abandoned someone who should never have been abandoned?

The deputy minister also said that no one would follow such a general.

And—

At the real moment when the change of the oil path in history occurred, Pingsuke, who was covered in blood and whose life was about to end, told her that she wanted to go back to the past.

That was the last realization that Heisuke told her with his life.

With a hint of longing and a hint of gloom, he struggled and said to her as desperately as he could: But no matter how hard he tries, he can't go back to that time......

...... Because people change.

Yes, he was not wrong.

Although feelings may not change, with the passage of time and the change of circumstances, the mood will change, the choice will change, and people will also change.

The light screen on the surveillance wall shifts. Suddenly, Liu Quan's gaze suddenly condensed at a certain point.

On the light screen in the corner, there happened to be an image of a long blue coat gliding by.

Liu Quan's gaze stayed there for a long time, and finally, he suddenly spread out his right hand and whispered something.

A small square box that had been placed on the table suddenly flew into her outstretched palm!

Liu Quan closed his five fingers in time to hold the small square box, and pressed it in the direction of the light screen—it turned out to be the remote control. The sound in the light screen that was originally in a muted state was immediately released.

The voice said, "...... Stop it, Red King. ”

Liu Quan's face showed a slightly stunned look. Her eyes swept over the background on the light screen, and she quickly recognized that it was a forest ramp in a remote corner of School Island.

She was slightly stunned, then suddenly blinked, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing, shook her head with a smile, and said to herself in a strange tone:

“...... I'm smoking again...... Can it be better after all—"

She still remembers that when she was in the "Super Reed Middle School Garden", she once very unfortunate met Reiji Munakata, who was also the head of the student hall at the time, and smoked in the unoccupied place behind the school building after school.

Although the scene at that time was as beautiful as the CG of the game, but unfortunately I stumbled upon another unknown side of the boss of the sanctimonious (?), and she was so scalp that she exploded in an instant, and her hair stood on end.

What happened? What happened next?......

It seems that after some hypocritical (?) words of concern and hidden preaching, the "righteous and righteous god" of Chaowei Middle School finally reluctantly agreed, as long as she did not cite his secret smoking, he would try to quit smoking as much as possible.

Later, sure enough, when she was still studying in the "Super Reed Middle School Park", she never caught him smoking again. She once thought he had really kept his promise and quit smoking, until now.

Liu Quan lowered his eyes, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Then, she heard Zhou Fangzun's deep and calm voice on the screen.

"I'm going to cut off my business, and you're going to do your duty—it's that simple. ”

The wry smile on Liu Quan's face expanded a lot in an instant.

Ah, sure enough, it's still that venerable brother, in a word, it pierces the heart.

Then, the voice of Reiji Munakata, which sounded extremely nostalgic at any time, said with a hint of pain and a little reluctantly suppressed anger, "...... A sucker. ”

With a snap, Liu Quan pressed a button on the remote control again. The voices of Zongxiang Lisi and Zhou Fangzun all disappeared from this room in an instant.

Then, very casually, Liu Quan threw the small square box on the desk, turned around and walked to the window.

The coffee break was finally over, and everyone went back to work, and there were not many people in the atrium at the moment.

Her gaze slowly fell, finally converging on a point in the middle of the courtyard.

There, standing, a slender young man in a blue hunting suit. He had been standing with his back to the window where Willow Springs was standing, but now, for some reason—perhaps in his heart—he suddenly turned his head and raised his face as if he had realized something, until his gaze met her upstairs.

He stood in the sun, the breeze blowing through his sideburns, blowing the tassel on the golden headband and trembling gently.

Amazingly, although there was a distance between them at the moment, Liu Quan seemed to be able to see him slowly curling the corners of his lips and smiling at her.

A familiar face and a familiar place still flashed on the light screen behind her—it was the long-lost School Island.,The long-lost "Super Reed Middle School Park",The long-lost section of the alley outside the door of the Youth Activity Room Building-

Liu Quan's eyes drifted out of the window, as if to examine her surroundings, and when she turned her head slightly to see the banner......s hanging from the roof of the building, which seemed to have a huge font that read "Congratulations! What an amazing——”

Then, without looking back, she waved her hand in the direction of the massive surveillance wall behind her.

The surveillance wall hadn't turned black—that would have been done with the help of a remote control—but as the atrium fell silent, a song had floated into the room behind her.

[Gallop to the limit no matter what.]

There are no expressions of dissatisfaction

Faced with a chaotic scene

What an amazing]

...... It was the song that was played to celebrate the graduation ceremony on the radio outside in the youth department activity room before she left the K world.

[Someday.]

The beginning of grief

It will also disappear

will melt on the other side of the clouds

In the Infinite Universe]

Looking at Liu Quan, the weather today is very good, the sky is clear, and the sky is a very bright blue.

Thanks to the little spell she had learned, she could recreate the song she remembered, and at the moment, the song was floating behind her.

[50/50 chance?DEAD OR LOVE.]

There is no right to offend "reality".

Lost or not

Tomorrow will come】

Oh, yes.

As the song outside the window just now, the classroom where no one returns can only remain in the deepest part of memory. In the future, no one will return to that classroom.

Yes, Reisaki. At the end of the nostalgic time is our future.

While it was a fascinating time, it led in two different directions.

No matter how sad and no matter how much you refuse to admit it, this is the case. There is no other way but to accept it and face it well.

Liu Quan raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and felt the gentle feeling of the warm wind blowing on his face outside the window.

[Even if you are lost in the stage of remorse

It will also gradually become stronger

The instinct to be illuminated

will glow]

When I was standing in the activity room of the Qingbu, I looked down in vain at the figure of the sect statue in the boulevard outside the window, and I heard such a song like that.

And now, it's time to move forward.

I can only keep moving forward.

In this way, we can live up to those times with you, those best days of our youth.

Do you say yes, Reiji-kun?

The song floating behind him sings:

[Someday I will be treated as an adult.]

I carry a lot of things

In a place that was once the other side of a dream

Disillusioned

Even if it's muddy

Even if it's a miasma

And the dazzling flame will be also

Hold it in your hand]

If the excellent people I have met are like a good school, which can teach me a lot of things and a lot of righteousness, then today, she graduated from the school called Soakata Reiji.

I also graduated from the school called the past.

Now, she can use this as a new starting point to bravely continue along the path she has chosen.

She's met so many incredible, wonderful people. The light that radiated from them illuminated her life every time. If she hadn't met them, maybe she wouldn't have become the better person she is now.

They are the beacons and signposts that she passes through in her long and tortuous journey, guiding her to a brighter and stronger future. Their care for her, the teachings they gave her, and the feelings and memories they left behind were all the motivation and courage for her to continue to move forward, so that she could walk in the darkness without losing her way, and regenerate hope in the midst of despair.

From being weak with nothing, she walked past the lamps that illuminated her, walked past those who gave light and warmth, brought spring and hope, courage and purpose to her life, looked up to them, pursued them, and finally surpassed them and continued to rush towards the road ahead.

They are the driving force and warmth that has propelled her to grow and grow in time, pushing her to trek through thorns and deserts steadfastly, to overcome hardships and darkness tenaciously, and to bravely rush to the unknown ahead, so they will definitely look forward to her reaching the end she wants, even if that end is no longer theirs.

And now, after saying goodbye to all the important, precious, and glittering people she has met in her life, she can start from here and move on.

Liu Quan withdrew his gaze from the clear blue sky of today, lowered his gaze again, and looked at the handsome and elegant young man in the blue hunting robe standing in the courtyard.

He is the most beautiful of the five swords in the world. It is a national treasure, a famous sword, a noble son of the Ping An Dynasty whose demeanor is comparable to that of the people in the palace, the focus of everyone's admiration, and the dream of countless girls-

Now, can she run to that person?

Can you rush over and tell him that she was stupid enough to turn down the opportunity for promotion, and that she had negotiated a cold-blooded deal with her unscrupulous boss to split the Honmaru that she had so hard worked so hard to bring people's hearts together, and ruthlessly abandon the swords who had abandoned her and preferred to follow Hitomi Gojo, so that they could follow Hitomi Gojo and follow the orders of their new boss to set up another Honmaru elsewhere?

Can you rush over and tell him that as long as he, and the gods born from the swords, are willing to follow her, he can stay in the Honmaru under her command forever, and continue to fight with her those who have traveled through multiple battlefields and fight against unknown enemies?......

Liu Quan grinned slowly, raised his right hand, and waved vigorously at the handsome young man in the blue hunting robe who was standing there in the courtyard, looking up at her with a smile.

She waved vigorously at the man standing in the courtyard in the warm sun and spring breeze, and after a few waves, it seemed that some kind of emotion came up with the repetitive action of waving her hand. Under the agitation of the mood, she had an impulse, so she propped up the windowsill with both hands and jumped on.

She stood on the windowsill, holding the upper edge of the window frame with one hand, one leg bent at the knee, delicately balancing, and then, looking up at the clear sky that was close to noon, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The warm scent of the sun lingers on the nose and from there into the lungs. Standing on the windowsill on a high place, she felt the breeze blowing from the sky unobstructed, blowing on her face, bringing a bright and warm freshness.

Ah, is it already spring. It is a true spring that is not maintained by the sight of Honmaru.

Liu Quan reopened his eyes, his gaze dropping, looking down at the man standing in the atrium. At this moment, he seemed to be a little surprised by her dangerous behavior, so he just stood in the courtyard, maintaining the posture of half-turning before, looking up at her.

It's really rare to see him react so speechlessly.

Liu Quan pursed his lips slightly, and laughed slowly and silently.
