Around mid-May, Hidemitsu and his party set out on their way to Kyoto. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There weren't many people who went on this trip, only Hidemune and Hidetaka who were the parties involved, and the ninja who was in charge of the guards accompanied them.

Of course, Xiuguang also acted together.

As before, Shocho and Tsurunosuke are in charge of the two duties of masquerade warriors and surveillance guards respectively, and stay in Osaka Castle.

Thanks to Hideyori's support, this time they probably don't need to be as frightened as before.

Xiujia and Xiaopingtai are also left behind.

Before Xiuzong and Xiugao left, the Xiu family, who was the father, told them for a long time before they were willing to let the two go.

By the way, the ninja who accompanied him this time was Tsukichiyo. Her teacher, Irizawa Shinai, stayed behind. As for the reason for this arrangement, it is to train this fledgling young ninja.

"I—I'm on a mission alone for the first time! Please be tolerant of Hidemitsu-sama! ”

After the journey began, Tsukichiyo said to Hidemitsu.

As Tsukichiyo said, it was the first time she had come out alone to take charge of the escort mission for such an important matter, so a slight tremor could be heard in her tone.

Although this trip is only to Kyoto, the journey is not far away. But in order to avoid the sight of others, the route was still chosen in the mountains and forests.

Tsukichiyo, who was in charge of reconnoitring the situation and opening the way, was holding a short knife, and from time to time he reached out and waved his knife to split the vine branches that blocked the advance.

Speaking of which, it feels like you're off-road. Holding a knife or something like that, he walked through the mountain road.

Looking at the short knife in Tsukichiyo's hand, Xiuguang remembered a series of off-road shows he had watched before.

"It's fine. It's good to stay calm at all times. ”

Xiuguang nodded, telling her not to be too nervous.

However, among the two siblings of the Wind Demon, Tsukichiyo was indeed the first to be assigned to be in charge of the task alone.

This also shows that Irizawa Shinnai attaches importance to her and cultivates her. Compared to the more mediocre twin brother Tsurunosuke, Tsukichiyo's performance is undoubtedly much better.

Therefore, there are now many people within the Wind Demon who believe that Tsukichiyo may be more suitable to become the next Wind Demon Kotaro than his brother Tsurunosuke.

But because of Tsurunosuke's efforts, Irisawa didn't dare to draw conclusions and set the heir to Kotaro's name.

Thinking of this, Xiuguang couldn't help but be a little curious about how the brother and sister themselves viewed the inheritance of the name.

"Now, Tsukichiyo, what do you think? It's the inheritance of Kotaro's name. Your brother and sister are not young, are they? ”

Thinking about it, Xiuguang couldn't help but ask bluntly.

Hidemitsu had asked Tsurunosuke the same question, but Tsuranosuke's answer was lazy.

"Huh? Father's name...... It's too early to talk about that, right? Well...... But the person who inherits the name must be me~"

This is Tsusunosuke's answer.

And what about the answer of my sister Tsukichiyo?

"I'm sure I'll inherit my father's name."

Her answer was much firmer and tougher than that of her brother, who was lazy.

"Why?"

Hidemitsu continued to ask.

Tsukichiyo's next answer made him feel a little difficult to express.

“…… As long as my brother survives. I'm enough to sustain the Wind Demon clan alone. ”

Tsukichiyo hopes that his brother Tsurunosuke can live well.

"There are many difficulties and dangers ahead, and it is difficult for people like my brother to survive. So I have to hold up the family. ”

As he said this, Tsukichiyo continued to swing the short knife in his hand, cutting off the branches and vines that were bent in front of him.

Determination could be seen in her eyes. Presumably, what he just said is not a lie.

She wants to protect Tsurunosuke, who is a relative.

Xiuguang thought so.

After all, at such a time, if the Wind Demon is exposed or something happens, it is possible that the entire clan will be wiped out.

"If something happens to me alone, if my brother is still here, then my father's blood will not be broken. The Wind Demon will still exist. ”

With a fearless smile, Tsukichiyo said silently.

"I'm not like my brother. I've been thinking about the future of the Wind Demon for a long time. ”

It's like pride, and it's like self-deprecation. Tsukichiyo has the maturity to deal with things on his own.

"Yes. That's amazing. ”

In this regard, Xiuguang couldn't say anything, just nodded his head to show his appreciation.

Tsukichiyo's words just now were undoubtedly well considered. It's just that if these words were known to Tsuru no Suke, he would probably be very shocked.

"What, what are you talking about?"

When he was thinking this, Xiuzong, who had been in the rear, followed.

"Nothing. Just a little bit about the Wind Demon. ”

Xiuguang replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

And Tsukichiyo looked back at Xiuzong with an ignorant and stupid look with a slightly helpless and ridiculous look, and did not stop waving the knife in his hand.

"Lord Xiuzong, you're really carefree. Well, though, you're alone here. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, I still have parents and brothers......

"But you're really alone in Osaka, aren't you? Date is in the Tohoku region. ”

"Well...... That doesn't seem like a problem......"

Repeating these meaningless conversations, the group continued to walk forward.

Although the conversation was meaningless, Hidemitsu was still inexplicably worried about Tsukichiyo's previous statement.

It seems that I will have to ask Iris Ze after I go back.

Xiuguang sighed and followed the footsteps of the two in front of him with Xiugao.

……

……

A few nights later.

Ho Ji waited a little anxiously.

In the past few days, although she tried her best to hide her excitement and anticipation, she was still noticed by her attentive adoptive mother, Gao Taiyuan, who was attentive, and her mood changed.

Although the Gaotai Institute asked Hao Ji many times if there was something wrong with her body, fortunately, Hao Ji tried to cover it up one by one.

"Worthy of my stepmother. That's amazing. ”

Hao Ji often thinks about this, and her reverence for Gaotaiyuan naturally increases day by day.

She is no longer the little girl she used to be. But in front of Gaotaiyuan, she always seems to be a child who likes to play and play with children's tempers.

Therefore, this time, the righteous brother Xiuguang asked her not to disclose the matter to the Gaotaiyuan in a secret letter, which made Haoji feel a sense of guilt for no reason in front of the Gaotaiyuan.

Hogie lit the oil lamp and opened the sliding door a small gap to see what was going on outside.

Will it really come?

With such a question, she looked out a few times.

Suddenly, there were a few small and light footsteps in the courtyard outside, which made Hao Ji's heart suddenly tighten.
