Chapter 3 Seven Days a Year
Yuki walked into today's Shijinma Honmaru. The pen ~ fun ~ kaku www.biquge.info is different from the beautiful Honmaru with three clear glasses full of falling cherry blossoms, and it is overgrown with weeds. However, the tall broad-leaved trees in the main courtyard shade the sky and the sun, which gives this place a different taste. But......
"yes, it's summer. Yuki said this thoughtlessly.
"What?" said Shikima, who was rummaging through the pen and paper.
"Oh, nothing. Yuki smiled embarrassedly.
It's summer, why are there cherry blossoms in the garden of Meili?
Yuki sat quietly under the porch, waiting for the map to be drawn and handed to her.
"The place, although big, is very regular. The map has marked the route with a red line for you, and you can go out after walking for about half a day. ”
Today's Shijine handed over the drawn roadmap to Yuki. This map is clear at a glance, and Yuki is sure that he will find his way.
"Okay, then let's take my leave. Thank you very much. Yuki stood up and bowed to today's Shijina in thanks. Then turn around and prepare to leave.
"I said Shikimaru, Honmaru's enchantment will repair itself. Kiyomitsu asked.
"Yes, that's true. Even if my spiritual power is sealed, the enchantment formula I set will still work automatically. Today's Shi really held his chin and said seriously.
"But you can't open this barrier right now. ”
"Indeed, after all, I don't have spiritual power right now. ”
“…… I said, haven't you figured out the problem yet?" Fu Fushen, who was fighting the knife, sighed in a helpless tone.
"What's the aftertaste?" asked Shikoma tilting his head. And at this time, he saw Yuki who turned back.
"Excuse me...... I can't open that door. ”
“……”
"Now you know. Qingguang sighed.
"What do you know?" asked Yuki.
Shijina looked up, sometimes looking at the door, sometimes looking at Yuki. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "I can't open that door either." ”
“……”
"What?!" Yuki couldn't hold back for a moment and shouted.
Then, when she realized that this was rude, her face turned red.
"Didn't I say that I'm in confinement. Shijin explained, "But there is still a week to go out, and if you don't dislike it, you can stay with me for seven days." My honmaru is still quite big. ”
Yuki's eyes wandered, this building looks like a ruined temple, can it still live in?
No, no, it seems rude to say that. Isn't this black-haired and red-eyed boy living here?
Anyway, I'm not wandering in the wilderness.
It's just seven days a week...... For a long time, will your family be worried?
Shijina saw Yuki's troubles, and said, "Don't worry about time, since I'm in confinement, the speed of time here is a thousand times that of time outside the house, so it's only a few minutes outside a week." ”
Hearing this, Yuki was relieved.
"Come, I'll take you to the inner court. There are a lot of houses there, but we need to clean up a little. ”
Yuki followed Shikima through the cloister and into the inner court.
Compared with the overgrown weeds in the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is much cleaner, at most the ground is covered with a layer of golden fallen leaves. Yuki looked up and saw a tall ginkgo tree. But the trees are full of golden leaves.
Autumn, how can it be autumn gold again? Yuki's question in his heart became deeper and deeper.
This Honmaru is extraordinarily large, and today's Shiki really took Yuki to bend left and right several times before reaching the destination room. Compared to other dusty rooms, it was exceptionally clean.
"You can stay here first, the bathhouse is behind this house. I only have kendo clothes here for a change of clothes, so I have to trouble you. Shi Zhen said embarrassedly. Indeed, his own confinement has also affected others, and he can't help it.
However, there was suddenly one more person in the room, and Shijin was still a little excited. After all, he's been locked up here for a year......
Although in this world, it is only a matter of sleep.
In this way, Yuki also accepted the reality and lived in Shiki's real Honmaru.
"Then you live in ...... Which room?" asked Yuki, this honmaru was huge, but it was a little panicked when it was empty.
"That...... Just the corner of the cloister in front of you," Shijin's gaze wandered slightly, "but I'm usually in the dojo, so come to me in the dojo if you have something." ”
With that, Shi Zhen hurriedly left the room with the scabbard red and Qingguang left.
"Hey, the room around the corner is a hand room for sword repair tools, and you can really live in the place where you got the clove oil everywhere? Let the lady live in her own room, could it be that you have other ideas? Hmm...... I don't see that you still have a bit of Mr. Hijikata's demeanor......"
"Qingguang, if you don't speak, you won't die. ”
"Okay, okay ~ Lord, General, Big, Man. ”
Listening to Qingguang teasing himself in this "joking" tone, Shijin stopped.
"Qingguang, when you followed the head office in the past, did the head secretary often put you on the knife holder of the dry, clean, clean?"
When it comes to the general department, Qingguang always gushes endlessly.
"That's natural, the head secretary is not as untidy as you are. If it's the head office, this Honmaru won't be so messy, and look at your hands...... Eh?
Kiyomitsu felt the grip on the knife getting stronger and stronger, and he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Shiki-true...... Don't really care, it's not that you can't do this, but sometimes you have to pay attention. You see, if you hadn't spilled orange tea on the files of the Space-Time Authority last time, you wouldn't have been locked up for a year, would you......"
Qingguang's unscrupulous words really poked at Shizhen's sore spot. He was confined, and to put it bluntly, he had spent, a document from the Time and Space Authority.
Or an important document.
But fortunately, this document has a backup, otherwise it would have been a big disaster.
"You're going to stay here today!" Shikima slammed Kiyomitsu on the knife stand that entered the room.
"Shiki-true...... Oh no, the Lord!
Qingguang has not been able to manifest himself as Fu Fushen now, and today's Shizhen can really deal with him like this. This is also a little selfishness, to take revenge on California Qingguang who cut his head and face in the dojo.
No, I always think it's more appropriate to call Okita Kiyomitsu......
[This Okita idiot!]
Forget it, let's go to the dojo to practice swordsmanship first.
Thinking like this, Shijin paced away, leaving Qingguang and a "person" speechless and choked in the strange hand of the air.
It's nightfall.
Although there is no sound of adding water to the bamboo tube in today's garden, there is the sound of insects in the summer and autumn seasons. This is also a special flavor. Yuki sat outside the house, eating fresh rice balls. She came out of the shower and saw these, probably brought to him by Shizhen today.
But at this moment, a strange voice came.
"Little girl...... Little girl......"
Over here...... Is it really haunted! Yuki was frightened. But out of curiosity, she followed the sound.
Isn't this today's room?
