When the Inquisitor returned to the courtyard, a brand new sword hung from her waist.

You can make out at a glance what kind of knife it is from the beautifully textured knife. However, since the female inquisitor didn't say anything, and Fu Fushen, who was from the same source as the knife, looked calm, then everyone would not be so presumptuous as to openly shout out about the master's new choice, and then make most people uncomfortable.

...... However, what was announced by the female inquisitor immediately afterwards made everyone stunned.

Because she walked straight to Yizhen, who was still standing in place, and looked directly at him, and her voice was clear.

"I've been waiting for a long time, I've been waiting for you. We can go out now. ”

Awataguchi's little shorts: "Huh?!...... Eh, eh!?"

Other mourners: "......"

Sanri Yuezong stood aside with a calm face, holding the hilt of his own body knife at his waist, watching all this, but not saying a word.

A faint look of surprise flashed across Ichijo's handsome and upright face, as if he didn't expect the Female Inquisitor to finally choose him as a close attendant to go to the government of time. But he didn't show anything, and even the tone in which he answered her was as calm and straightforward as ever.

"Yes, I'll go with you. He answered.

The Divine Inquisitor had already turned around and was about to walk towards the teleportation array in the courtyard, but when she heard a shocking response, she stopped and turned her head with a subtle smile on her face.

"Did it turn out to be the line of going to Wanwu instead of the line of going out......" she said in a low voice, and for some reason suddenly bent her eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"It's really reliable, Ichi-kun. She smiled and looked back at the eldest man of the Awataguchi family, who was tall and awe-inspiring, and showed a happy look.

"Then let's get out. ”

Under everyone's eyes, after a burst of golden light, there was no longer a female judge and her close attendant in the courtyard.

Speaking of which, the teleportation array of the Government of Time is in some ways the same as the fireplace leading to the Ministry of Magic in the Harry Potter world, teleporting people to a specific location in the target building - like a transportation hub - and then going out of those places to various places in the target building.

So, when the Inquisitor and her attendant appeared at the teleportation landing site in the courtyard of the Government of Time, she didn't immediately walk towards the Government of Time building, but paused, looked around—there was no one—and then turned to look at the attendant she had chosen for the day.

At the same time, her right arm shook as if it spasmed slightly, and the index finger of her right hand, which stretched out of the cuff, shook slightly.

"Phase I'm ...... Why did you volunteer to come here with me today?" she asked, bluntly.

Yizhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect her to be so frank, his golden eyes moved slightly, and then he turned his head and glanced around.

Seeing this, the female judge pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's okay. "Even if you say what you want here, it doesn't matter." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her right index finger and shook it in front of him.

“...... If you remember the little magic I performed in front of you. ”

One Strike: !!

He suddenly understood.

When she first came to this Honmaru, she had performed a miraculous spell to comfort him—a small stream of water that shot from her fingertips and wet his little cloak. At that time, she smiled and said, that spell is called "Clear Water Like a Spring". Since she knew such spells, he would never have to worry about fire again.

Now, she stretched out her index finger again, which was capable of magical spells. So, what kind of spell did she use this time, so that no one else could hear their conversation?

He hesitated and lowered his gaze.

“...... Because you are a good host. At the beginning, he agreed to my request, and later, he found my brother for me, so ......"

The Female Inquisitor laughed and sighed loudly.

"Is it just because of this?" she shook her head as if she felt a little regretful, "Then I don't think you have to risk it, because even if you don't come to ask me, I'll get the medicine back, and you don't need to repay the favor for this-"

"No!" Ichijo interrupted her by raising her voice suddenly.

Female Inquisitor: ?

She looked at her in surprise, and Fu Fushen, who was being watched by her like this, seemed to suddenly realize her gaffe at this moment, and suddenly lowered her voice again.

“...... It's not a return for the favor. ”

His voice as clear as a teenager was much lowered, and he suddenly sounded like a lot more mature, but his tone was as gentle and upright as ever, like a trusty big brother.

“...... I wanted to come with you. He was silent for a moment before whispering.

Female Inquisitor: ??

...... Why did the Wanwu lines pop up again?

However, when Yizhen said this line, it was as if he had pulled out some plug in his heart, and his next words were more fluent.

"You're right. He said.

Female Examiner: ???

Although the question marks on her face were accumulating more and more, Yiyi Yizhen did not stop to patiently solve her doubts, but continued to speak.

"The reason why I want to come here with you is actually ...... It has nothing to do with drug research. He said.

Female Examiner: ???

He lowered his gaze, and as he said this, he suddenly raised his eyes again, and looked directly at her.

Then, he suddenly smiled and shook his head.

“...... No, maybe it has something to do with drug research. ”

Female Examiner: ???

He suddenly denied what he had just said. It made her face have so many question marks that it would cover her entire face.

However, he still didn't solve her doubts. But this time, when he looked directly at her, a relieved smile suddenly unfolded on his face, and she felt even more ...... Confused.

"Because, when I think about the last time...... It was the one who accompanied the previous one as a close attendant of the pharmaceutical research institute...... Lord Divine Inquisitor, I went to the government of the time to report on my work......"

Oh. The female judge looked suddenly realized.

Yizhen continued: "...... Then, after returning to Honmaru, it didn't take long for that to happen......"

The female judge herself felt that she was able to guess the idea of a single episode.

"So, this time you think you shouldn't let Yaoyan come to the danger again, as a good brother, would you rather come with me yourself?" she asked tentatively, "...... Or are you worried that I'm just as messy as the former God Inquisitor, and I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with it, so you want to keep an eye on me personally?"

Yizhen was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha-"

Female Inquisitor: "......"

Ah, don't learn from the Three Days Moon Sect. She thought to himself.

However, the laughter of the first phase is completely different from the kind of three days and moon sects. The clear texture between teenagers and young adults conveys not the tension of the slightly black mud rolling and palpitating of the three days and moons, but a real sense of pleasure.

...... Ah, sure enough, the Awataguchi family was the most cured. What the predecessors said is honest and does not deceive me!" she thought.

Ichijo stopped laughing, and his face became serious again.

"You guessed it, you weren't wrong. He said.

“...... However, it seems that it is not enough. ”

Female Inquisitor: ?!

I always feel that this line is a bit ...... Strange, huh?

However, the first phase of the earthquake has been silent so far.

He just stared straight into her eyes with those golden eyes, and his clear voice made every word clear and distinct.

"You just have to remember that I am your knife. He said.

"Even if you have a second blade, you won't let your enemies do whatever they want in front of you—"

Female Inquisitor: !?

She was shocked to hear this line, and couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

“...... Because after meeting you, I feel like I'm getting stronger all the time. As a result, his next sentence took a big turn.

Female Inquisitor: ??

It was only at this time that she appeared, and in the clear golden eyes that stared at her, the gaze was calm and gentle, containing a touch of impassive power.

"And when you get stronger, you feel like you're different from what you used to be......" he said quietly, his gaze drifting away for a moment, then quickly retracting and falling gently on her face.

“...... No, that's supposed to be a good thing. He concluded.

Female Inquisitor: "......"

Ah, for a moment, I felt as if I understood something. But it feels like I don't understand anything.

However, now is not a good time to discuss this delicate issue in any case. So she pulled the corners of her lips and smiled.

"The first phase of Jun is very strong, I knew it from the beginning. She replied, and then the look on her face suddenly became a little mischievous.

"After all, Yoshimitsu's name isn't for nothing—is it?"

She responded to him with the lines he had when he was heart-wrenching, and Yizhen couldn't help but show a wry smile on the corner of her lips.

"Yes. He finally answered.

"I will bet on the name of auspicious light to protect you. ”
