Honmaru suddenly changed to a new scene.

Although the new Inquisitor seems to like the spring scene, especially the so-called "Manyo cherry blossom" in the garden, the sea of pink flowers that bloom in spring is refreshing, but the day before she suddenly looked at the calendar and said, "Ah, is it already May 1st?", and then without warning she raised her hand and changed it to a summer scene, which still surprised everyone in Honmaru.

After seeing the spring cherry blossoms in three seasons, the green garden in summer and the wind chimes hanging under the eaves of the corridor make people suddenly feel bright.

Not to mention that the scene changed by the female judge seems to be a limited edition - large round watermelons appeared in the fields of Honmaru. And the watermelons were picked over and over again, and even though they only took up a small corner of the field, they were picked the day before, and when they woke up overnight and the next morning, they found that the watermelons were ripe and ready to be picked in that corner, which was amazing.

So, the next evening, everyone happily nibbled on the sweet watermelon, and praised the virtue of the female judge (super fog!).

Hasebe also looks pleasant. Because Honmaru saved another expense on buying watermelons in Wanya - you must know that Honmaru has so many mouths, and watermelons are never cheap in the neon market, so it's a luxury to let everyone eat as much as they want-

So on this night, Hasebe and Candlestick Kiri, two baba-class swords (huh) who had been working hard to take care of Honmaru, simply took advantage of the watermelon tasting meeting and held a small fun party in the middle of Honmaru's wide garden.

Colorful flags and shining lanterns were pulled up on the trees around the courtyard, and plates of cut watermelons were placed on the long tables on both sides; the lively Hakata simply ran to borrow the karaoke machine she had just purchased with the female judge and moved it to the courtyard, but the female judge preemptively warned that singing was okay, but it was absolutely forbidden to charge everyone, so it was a little wilted, until he ate three large slices of watermelon, and then he regained his life; the three guns and the two big swords, Taro Jiro, drank leisurely, and after drinking happily, they sang a song, But sometimes the broken tone that is not in the key makes the people next to him show a black line......

It wasn't until late at night that everyone was almost happy.

Occasionally, the sound of a drunken Jiro Taito humming a song could be heard in the hallway of Honmaru, and the Japanese Horn was talking loudly to the other two famous guns, but the sound gradually dissipated, and after a while, he could only faintly hear loud snoring coming from some rooms as he walked down the corridor, only through the shoji door.

The Three Days Moon Sect walked lightly and walked in the empty corridor.

He turned corner after corner, until he was back in the courtyard where everyone had just had a fun party.

At this moment, the courtyard was completely gone, and the tables, chairs, and garbage had been taken away, and it was neat and tidy, only the colored lights wrapped around the trees still flickered brightly in the middle of the night.

And in the courtyard, under the cherry blossoms that have already fallen and only the lush branches and leaves are stretching hard, there is a slender figure.

The figure looked up slightly at the canopy of the Manyo cherry blossoms, and the colorful lights that surrounded the entire courtyard shone brightly, and the sparkling light formed points of light, dancing lightly between her long scattered hair.

The Three Days Moon Sect stopped unconsciously. It was then that he realized that there was something in the courtyard that he subtly felt out of place—the great thing called the "karaoke machine" was still there, and the light on it was still on, and although the volume had been turned down very low, it was undoubtedly still running, playing a song he had never heard of.

[Floating exhaustion

Sleepy skies

Cherry trees that are about to wither

If you can trace the whereabouts of the fluttering petals

Man's fate is like an illusory dream.

Three Days Moon Sect Near:?

It sounds like a sad song. And if you continue to listen to it, it will feel even more wrong.

[Emerges from the eye.]

Thoughts of your beloved】

His eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze turned away from the cold machine of the present world, and fell to her, who was still looking up at the cherry blossom tree with her head up.

"I want to protect you

but they can't protect you

At this moment, a promise was quietly made

No matter how many degrees of reincarnation

The day when the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves

I'll come back to you]

At last he walked towards her under the tree, stopped behind her, and likewise raised his head slightly, looking at the lush canopy.

“...... At this time, will Snow Leaf be able to see 'full sunlight through the gaps in the leaves'?"

He asked with a smile.

She was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh.

"Nope. She replied, finally turning to look at him.

He keenly noticed that her eye sockets were a little red.

"Oh?" he said in surprise with a tone of similar question and surprise.

Of course, she knew why he was surprised. She blinked, chuckled, lowered her gaze slightly, and her face slightly averted.

“...... No matter what time it is, there's no going back. ”

There was a long, undisguised melancholy in her voice.

The Three Days Moon Sect raised his eyebrows slightly.

“...... This song reminds you of ...... Who?" His voice was still calm and pleasant, sounding like he was seriously concerned about his friend, and he deserved a good guy card.

The Examiner's gaze flashed.

“...... This song was written by a person in the world to the general secretary. There was a strange smile in her voice.

The Three Moons Sect sighed in surprise.

Okita ...... Director-General?"

The name of the man was not what he had expected.

"Yes, Soji Okita. The Witch nodded, then laughed and looked up at him.

"You can find such a song in the machine that passed the government inspection at the time...... It's a miracle. "Of course, there are other songs that I know...... Musicians of the present generation, songs written for Mr. Hijikata, songs written for Kazuki-kun...... It's all good, but none of the songs appear. ”

When she said the names of the people he had expected, her eyes were straight and clear, like the moonlight of the night, bright with a hint of coldness, and stared frankly on his face.

And then I thought, well, this song might be just right. ”

"No matter how many days there are 'full of sunshine through the gaps in the leaves'—"

"There's no way I'm going back. ”

Three Days Moon Zongjin's expression moved slightly for a moment, as if revealing a little real surprise. But the wavering of his expression was only a momentary thing, and he exhaled, and the gentle smile of the iron mask returned to his face.

"You can go back. He said, his eyes with a crescent moon staring deeply at her.

"As long as you keep playing...... There will always be those who have them. ”

"Although the last experience was painful for you...... But because of this, you have the opportunity to see them again. ”

When the five swords of the world, who have been in the world for thousands of years, said these words, they seemed to have a trace of emotion and amazement.

"Aizu, Hakodate, Utsunomiya...... It's not a good place, but you know it, you can't chase the person of your dreams without suffering...... There's no other way—"

The Female Divine Judge's eyes widened for a moment. Something flashed through her mind, and she suddenly took a step closer to him, her eyes shining with a terrifying light.

“...... It's not like you'd say it, three days and moons—"

The five swords in the world first widened their eyes slightly, and then lowered their gaze and smiled.

“...... Is it. He replied softly, "Doesn't that sound like what I would say......"

"Yes. The Inquisitor stopped only two or three paces away from him, staring at him with a mixture of emotions—questions, worries, and sharp inquiry.

"Ahaha. The Three Days Moon Sect smiled gently.

"I do say something amazing once in a while—" he said.

“...... But, who said that just now, who once said it to you?!" The Female Divine Inquisitor sharply interrupted his light attempt to thin the mud.

"'If you want to chase the person of your dreams, you can't not endure the pain...... There is no other way'. ”

She repeated the suspicious words, raised her head slightly, looked at his face with a calm expression that did not match this tense atmosphere at all, and asked word by word, "...... Does this matter have anything to do with the sound of God without Rin?"

Three Days and Moons: !!

For a short moment, the face of the five swords in the world showed a rare look of surprise. Although he was quick to hide that emotion, the question she threw certainly hit him to the heart.

The eyes with the golden crescent moon slowly dimmed. He asked softly, "Why do you say such a thing?"

Before answering, the Divine Inquisitor took a deep breath.

"Because she's been asking me about you. She replied, "If you were just curious about the sword 'Three Sun Moon Sect', which is one of the five swords in the world, it wouldn't be so ......."

"She's currying favor with me, getting closer to me without a trace, and becoming my friend...... And all of this is just because she is interested in this 'Three Days Moon Sect' in my Honmaru. ”

"If you have the opportunity to explore a little deeper, you can always get some clues. ”

Three days Moon Zong's eyebrows jumped slightly. He still didn't answer her.

The Witch Judge took another step closer to him.

"You may not know that the government of time issued a new order this afternoon. ”

"It is said that on some maps of the past, there are more numerous and more dangerous and unpredictable marches of time regression. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with each other and participate in the battle together among the inquisitors......"

Three Days Moon Sect: ?!

He was slightly moved, revealing a look of astonishment.

The Divine Inquisitor continued, "You must also remember the assigning of my Inquisitor partner. - It's the sound of God. ”

"Before I go out, I want to know that there are no secrets between me and her...... Otherwise, it's terrible to feel stabbed in the back by your companion on the battlefield. ”

The female judge was so blunt, the Three Days Moon Sect lowered her eyebrows, was silent for a long time, and sighed silently.

The song was still whispering infinitely in the karaoke machine that they had almost forgotten.

[Even if the separation is far away.]

I'll love you forever too]

It was sung on the stereo.

"Divine Voiceless ......" Sanri Moon Sect finally moved his lips slightly, and spit out such a completely unfamiliar name for such a female god judge.

“...... What?" She asked in amazement.

Three Days Moon Sect raised his gaze and looked directly at her face. The eyes with the crescent moon now looked extremely calm, but they were like the sea at night, and there seemed to be a great storm under the calm sea.

"I guess, Kanno Hibikiko, probably her ...... Some elder. He sighed.

The female inquisitor had to ask, "...... Who is it?"

Rarely, he seemed to hesitate slightly before answering her. The look of gentleness, tolerance and superiority that was always in front of her was gone.

“...... It is my former inquisitor. He opened his mouth slowly, and said something terrible.

"Yes...... A woman who has been expecting me to hide her all her life, but in the end I have not been able to meet that expectation. ”

Female Inquisitor: !?
