A week passed in a hurry, and Qing Shui was entrusted by the folded book, and he has been waiting for the awakening of Huashan Temple here.

"Hmm...... Am I finally back?"

"Isn't it very energetic, it feels good to come back?" Qing Shui smiled and read out the words that he had prepared a long time ago, and there was always an indescribable bitterness in his heart, but in order not to stimulate the nerves of Huashan Yuan, it was best to let him completely forget everything before.

After explaining the existence of the keel to Huashan Temple, Qing Shui secretly turned around and asked in a choked voice.

"Eggson Moyette, that's your name, isn't it?"

"Any questions?"

"From today onwards, choose your name in Japan, and from now on you will be a subordinate of the second horseman, and you will soon be able to meet him, that person is the strongest man in the keel, and if he is the boss, no matter what bullying you will be, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Follow Qing Shui out of the medical department, the soft sunlight shining on his face, everything seems to be familiar, but there is no clear impression in his mind. Suddenly, the figure of a young girl passed by, and Huashan Yuan subconsciously stopped, and when he looked back, the girl was already far away, and it seemed that she had no intention of staying.

"That's Fujiwara Ailan, the eighth rider, she's very gentle, and she'll help you if you need anything. Qing Shui looked at Ailan's back, and her heart must have suffered a considerable amount of sourness.

After Qing Shui sent Hanayama to the office of the second horse, he left first, leaving only the two of them.

I saw a familiar face again, but my brain still didn't have any memory of him, only that he was the black rider with the strongest dragon bone, and nothing else.

Broken memories begin anew, and the people and things destined to be met in fate are also quietly coming.

"Hello, Ice for a long time, please take care of it. ”

……

"Mmmm......" The shaking sensation of the train gradually reflected in the brain, and Hanayamain sat up against the window, unconsciously falling asleep here, which is really something that the portal can't do.

"Are you here again? ...... those memories?"

"Yes. Huashanyuan was suddenly stunned, turned his head to look, and saw that Orimoto was sitting beside him, holding the cigarette in the box before, but he didn't light it, "Teacher Orimoto?!"

"It's supposed to be the third ride. ”

Hanayamain looked at his weather-beaten face in disbelief and stammered, "Are you...... Did you really say yes?"

"You're right, Chizo. I'm a failure, and I've been running away for too long, thinking that I can forget the past. But what happened can never be forgotten no matter what, it was the timidity that did not dare to face the reality that created such a cowardly self, as your teacher, I feel very ashamed. ”

Orimoto looked at the scenery outside the window, and his sharp gaze seemed to have removed the previous haze: "Break through tomorrow's self, shatter the mirror of the past, this is a successful loser, I once taught you I actually forgot those guidelines one step ahead of you, it's really embarrassing to say." If it weren't for you, I'd probably be living in the shadow of that defeat for the rest of my life, and thank you for giving me the reason to fight again. ”

Huashanyuan couldn't speak for a long time in excitement, the corners of his mouth trembled, and it took a long time before he said, "Teacher Orimoto, welcome back to the keel ......"

"Chizo, I'm sorry, I haven't told you the truth for so many years, but it's actually ......"

Before he could finish his words, Huashanyuan took the lead and said, "Actually, before we met for the 'first time', we were already masters and apprentices, right?"

"You...... Do you already know?" said Orimoto, surprised.

Huashanyuan suddenly lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, and said slowly: "On the day Jiuxia left, the power of martial arts hit the brain and brought back memories that I had never seen. I've always known, and I know, that you and Miss Shimizu didn't tell me this for my own good, and since everything started anew, I had to leave the past behind. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Before hearing about Miss Alan's death...... I haven't seen her once...... If I could tell her those things again...... "Hanayamain tried his best to restrain his emotions, but he couldn't help crying.

"Alan will understand, definitely. ”

The train arrived at the dock in the dark, and in order to get back to the keel faster, Hanayama-in found a keel branch nearby and returned to the Kyoto headquarters through the portal there.

After many years, there have been a lot of changes in the people in the headquarters, and there are a total of hundreds of meters from the teleportation room to the headquarters building, and no one can recognize the figure of the strongest black rider in the past.

"After Orimoto-sensei left, the high-ranking Yaotome rebellion led to the Moonlit Night Tsuzun Incident, and in that battle, the battleship of the dragon bone and most of the members were killed, leaving only a small number of people, so I'm afraid that the people here won't know you either. ”

Orimoto nodded silently: "I see." ”

"Sakurama agent should be waiting for us up there, let's hurry over. ”

"Wait. Orimoto stopped Hanayama and asked, "You said Sakurama...... What do you mean? Isn't Bong here?"

"Miss Shimizu is in Huangquan now. ”

"She's already ......" Hearing this, the beard on Orimoto's chin trembled nervously.

"Ah, that's not what it meant. It's a long story, anyway, Miss Shimizu is still alive and well, and I'll tell you in detail after we meet Sakuruma. ”

Orimoto hadn't paid attention to the keel for all these years, and his knowledge of what was happening in the world was limited to the area around the town of Shin-Hidaka, and he didn't know anything about the two events in Yokohama.

The two of them came to the top floor of the headquarters building, which was still the same as a few years ago, unchanged at all.

"Sakurama agent, I'...... Eh, why are so many people here?" Pushing open the office door, the living room was already full of people, and several black riders at the headquarters were here except for Nanai.

"First meeting, Mr. Orimoto, I'm Aizuki Sakuruma, the acting supreme commander of the keel. "Everyone made way for Sakuruma, but for Orimoto, it wasn't all familiar faces.

Looking at Sakurama's outstretched hand, Orimoto subconsciously stepped forward, but hesitated for a moment and didn't reach out to shake it: "I'm still very dirty now, I'm afraid I'm ......"

"Welcome back. Sakuruma suddenly stepped forward quickly and grabbed Orimoto's hand, "Mr. Orimoto, I'm just like you now, but the members of the dragon bones aren't people who are obsessed with such trivial things, you should know very well, right?"

Orimoto didn't know what to say, but nodded and laughed.

"The fact that Mr. Orimoto is back as the Black Rider is good news for the entire keel. "The Ryuzo Temple on the side has been an old friend for many years, and in addition to Huashan Temple, the only person he knows seems to be her.

"Heaven, long time no see. ”

"yes, the third ride. ”

For the information of the dragon bone in recent years, the book must be carefully reviewed, and now he doesn't even know the rest of the black riders, so it will delay a lot of things if it goes on like this.

"Miss Sakuruma, Orimoto is willing to take over the position of Black Rider and become the third rider. ”

"Then, at nine o'clock tonight, the succession ceremony of the third and sixth riders officially began, all of them are on holiday today, and they must return to their respective posts before noon the next day to continue their work!" Sakurama was glad that his second expectation did not happen, otherwise he would have no direction to start if he wanted to find a black rider with the strength of the folded book.

"Yes, Sakurama Agent!"

Orimoto left the office and returned to his former residence, which was the dormitory building of the second ride, but it was the only place that could give him a little more peace of mind.

Take a bath, restore the beard and hair to the same appearance as before, although the face is older than before, but those wind and frost are also the experience of the mind, now he is more stable and wise, no longer confused, from the haze to find the true self.

"Orimoto-sensei, the succession ceremony is about to begin, and Agent Sakurama asked me to come and remind you!" Hanayama-in's voice came from outside the door.

"I'll come. ”

Looking at himself in the mirror, he smiled, picked up the new suit on the sofa and left the room.

The hall on the third floor of the headquarters has already gathered a lot of people, and the rooms here are very spacious, and there are enough keel members to hold a succession ceremony here without foreign guests.

"Mr. Orimoto, you're here. Sakuruma waited at the door for a long time, and finally saw the appearance of the orimoto.

"Sakuruma-sama, there's something I'd like to ask. ”

You say. ”

"The eight black riders are usually present at the succession ceremony, but except for the few I have just seen, the fifth, seventh, and eighth riders have not been seen, so I wonder where they went?"

Sakurama said slowly, "Nikaido is now in Siberia, and although I asked him to come back two days ago, he still hasn't appeared. ”

"Hehe, he really has his style, he was like this in the past. ”

"Natsui of the Seventh Rider is now on a mission with Miss Shimizu, and Nanai of the Seventh Rider is temporarily being confined because he committed some mistakes a few days ago, so he can't attend the succession ceremony. ”

"I see. By the way, I just heard from Chizo that the sixth rider is also going to hold a succession ceremony, may I ask what happened to the previous Venerable Master?" Orimoto clearly remembered that when he was still in the keel, the sixth rider was a silver-haired young man, but now he has disappeared, but has been replaced by someone else.

"The Venerable Master of Kamizen has defected to Kamihiro and Haya after selling the keel's confidential information to his superiors, so I have decided to make the deputy of the Sixth Horseman, Miss Kiyohito Wasuka, the new Sixth Horseman, the new Sixth Horseman. ”

Hearing this, Zheben's face changed greatly: "I didn't expect him to do such a thing......"

That is, he even affected the eighth horseman, causing her to be imprisoned, and the previous eighth horseman also became a minion of the god and Zao. ”

Oriben sighed and said softly: "It seems that the keel is not very peaceful during the time I have been away, and I am very sorry that you have been working hard these days." ”

"Mr. Orimoto doesn't have to be polite, the succession ceremony is about to begin, so let's get ready. ”
