At night, there is silence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, "New Kyoto" was the safest place in this era, and even at night it should be as lively as daytime, no, even more lively.

However, after the [Great Onmyoji] instructed him not to go out at night recently, it became much more deserted.

At most, there are only a few takayas, or a few streets in Kabukicho that still have a lively atmosphere.

Somewhere in an inconspicuous izakaya, the sliding door was suddenly opened from the inside, and immediately, a figure with a slight smell of alcohol walked out slowly.

However, although it smelled of alcohol, this person did not look drunk.

With a resolute face, a cold look, a sword with a simple scabbard pinned to his waist, and an aura of being unapproachable to others.

It's obvious that the dress of a warrior, and, judging from the temperament of the other party, is not an ordinary warrior.

This inference is not wrong, because this very harsh-looking young man, who is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, is a retainer of the [Gen family], one of the three nobles of this [New Kyoto].

The young man's name is Tsunade Watanabe, and he is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Minamoto Yorimitsu, and some time ago he cut off a certain powerful warrior who broke into the arm of the [New Kyoto] [Oni Clan].

Although Usui Sadamitsu is among the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings of Raiko", he is rumored to be the "Lord of the Four Heavenly Kings".

However, it is also because of its own maturity and wisdom that it has such an interesting name.

In terms of strength alone, among those four people, Watanabe Tsunade can undoubtedly be ranked first, otherwise he would not have survived under the hands of [Ibaraki Boy], one of the [Ghost Kings] of the [Great River], and also cut off one of the opponent's arms, allowing the opponent to retreat.

However, even if this is the case, because he is relatively cold by nature, he is not interested in the rumors of the outside world and the private ranking of their Four Heavenly Kings or something.

For him, the only thing he values is the safety of Minamoto Yoriguang, who is the head of the family, and improving his martial arts.

For this reason, even with his current status, he still lives alone in a small house. This is to train one's state of mind, and at the same time, it is also to avoid unnecessary tedious affairs.

As for tonight, he was going outside to relax a little as usual, and then he came out of the izakaya just now.

Although some time ago, when he presented the severed hand of the [Oni Clan] to the [Great Onmyoji] of [New Kyoto] for inspection, the other party warned him that he needed to perform a period of [Taboo], that is, he should be careful with everything, especially when it comes to meeting guests.

It is said that this is to prevent some kind of accident from happening, so he is required to comply with it.

Because it was the opinion of the [Great Onmyoji], Watanabe Tsunade didn't have any objections, so he followed it.

Unexpectedly, such a follow-up directly made his originally cold temperament even colder.

Because of the matter of cutting off the arm of the [Ibaraki Boy], and the matter that he presented to the [Great Onmyoji] for inspection, it has actually been quite a while.

However, the other party didn't say when it would be over, so he took that as one of his guidelines.

After all, it's also for the safety of [New Kyoto]. Because, if an arm of the [Ghost Clan], especially one of the [Ghost Kings], is placed here with him, if something really weird evolves, it will be very troublesome.

However, there have been no accidents these days, and Watanabe Tsunade is also living freely.

The only change is that my own general doesn't know why, since a few days ago, his mood seems to have become inexplicably better.

Moreover, as the youngest of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Laiguang", the golden retriever boy who always talks about "dogs" doesn't come to the [Yuan family] mansion to gather much.

I heard that it was the [Martial God] of the [Shinsengumi] who came back two years ago........

Well, though, it's none of his business. But, to be honest, if he could, he would have liked to have a fight with the adult so that he could know his shortcomings.......

Shaking his head with a wry smile, without rubbing on the street, Watanabe Tsunade went straight back to his home.

After a little tidying up and preparation, he wanted to go straight to rest. Because, tomorrow, I still need to go to the mansion of the [Gen Family] to discuss the next crusade.

However, at this time, someone knocked on the door of his house.

Raised his eyebrows slightly, you know, although it is not late at night, but, because of the instructions of the [Great Onmyoji], there are usually very few people who go out.

It's a little weird to come to a place like him at this time.

Putting the sword back to his waist, Watanabe walked to the door without hurry, and then asked.

"Which one is it?"

The voice of inquiry sounded clearly, but there was no response outside the door.

With a flicker in his eyes, Watanabe's hand unconsciously grasped the handle of his sword, and his gaze began to become a little cold.

Immediately, the door was violently opened by him, and the blade of the cold light was instantly drawn from the scabbard, intending to force the comer.

But soon, Watanabe Tsunade stopped, and at the same time, his face couldn't help but panic and worry.

"Uncle, aunt, why did you come here at this time?"

The kind old woman in front of me is the respected uncle who raised her.

For Watanabe Tsunada, a man of filial piety, his previous behavior was already disrespectful, so he ignored why his uncle was here at this time.

"I'm so sorry Auntie, I scared you just now!"

"No, no, it's okay, it's okay. Anyway, aren't you going to invite me in and sit down?

Watanabe, cough, no, Atsuna. ”

The old woman looked amiable, as if she had no interest in what had happened before.

"W-This is really rude, please come in quickly, uncle!"

The heart is completely filled with apologies and self-blame, and this will invite the other party in.

However, what he didn't notice at all was that after entering this room, for some reason, the eyes of the old woman revealed a trace of a strange brilliance that did not match her image........

―――――――――――――――

"Huh?"

"What's the matter, teacher, what's wrong?"

[Shinsengumi], in Bai Ye's room, there were only two people who had turned off the lights and rested, but Bai Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

And the rhetorical question before was also raised by a lovely disciple lying next to him when he noticed that his teacher had suddenly woken up.

After all, the duty of being a "pillow" does not seem to be over, and after that cohabitation, the general secretary is still in the room of the white night tonight.

It's just a matter of sleeping together.

That's right, just sleeping together.......

I don't know why, every time I think of this, the girl's heart is a little disappointed, alas.......

"No, nothing, maybe it's my delusion."

"Let's continue to rest, if we go to bed too late, be careful that tomorrow will be the same as today, with dark circles on our faces."

"In that case, it won't look good!"

Suddenly said with a smile, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth were slightly hooked, and at the same time he scratched the other party's nose and signaled the other party to rest quickly.

"Huh? Ay?! Yes, yes! I know! ”

As soon as he heard that it might damage his image in the teacher's mind, he didn't care about Bai Ye's strange reaction before, and the general secretary hurriedly closed his eyes and planned to rest.

"Huh......."

Smiling slightly, and then remembering the wonderful feeling in his heart before, Bai Ye's brows furrowed again.

But it's probably just an illusion.......

Thinking like this in his heart, Bai Ye hugged the general secretary in his arms tightly, and soon fell asleep.

It's just that tonight really seems to be as calm as it seems on the surface.......
