In the horizon of Beichuan Temple, the system tasks are neatly listed.

'System prompt: The dim Sifang Shrine, the bright lights that can no longer be lit, the bones of the Sifang Magatama, the thoughts are devoured by the wriggling flesh in the dark corners... Dark resentment and fear are intertwined, the blue and white twisted palms of the corpse poke out from behind you, uneasily tugging at your ankles, fear makes you break out in cold sweat on your forehead, trembling under your feet, the dark figure has enveloped you, the roar of the resentful spirit has been in your ears for a long time, but you can only endure the uneasiness in your heart, and continue to explore towards the dilapidated shrine, even if you don't know what awaits you——'

The introduction of the system was still as long and meaningless as ever, and Kitagawa Temple glanced at it expressionlessly and continued to look down.

Under this commentary, it is the content that he cares about the most.

'Quest Completion Condition (1): Explore the Shifang Shrine and learn what happened in the 'Dark Moon Hour' in the past. ’

'Quest completion condition (2): Open the Altar of the Four Directions, explore the Fifth Altar, and close the Altar of the Four Directions after the end. ’

'Quest completion reward: The Stone of Trouble. ’

Only the first condition for the completion of these two tasks was met by Beichuan Temple, because there were many hidden things about the Sifang family recorded in the Hall.

Now Beichuan Temple only needs to re-close the re-lit Sifang Altar, and the whole task is officially over.

Closing the Quartet Altar... To be honest, this is not a difficult task for Beichuan Temple, according to the Sifang Kaguya, the Moon Mirror and the Moon Mirror can evoke the Sifang Altar, and it can also make the Sifang Altar fall to the ground again.

But—

"Is there a problem with you?" Kitagawa Temple still turned his head sideways and asked, with his head down, leading the way in front of the four directions.

This question made the Quartet Kaguya stunned, and she turned her head:

"No problem... What does this mean? Master Kitagawa? ”

She didn't seem to understand.

Seeing her like this, Beichuan Temple did not hesitate: "Have you not considered whether the closure of the Sifang Shrine will have an impact on your position in the Sifang family?" ”

Yes.

Kaguya no longer has to worry about her body being forcibly occupied by another Kaguya. But her problems have not been fundamentally solved.

If the head of the Quartet family, who was waiting for the results of the elixir of immortality, knew that another Kaguya had been solved by Kitagawa Temple, and the elixir of immortality was only a mutilated product, and it would be swallowed and used by another Kaguya...

Her position is not good.

After all, she was only cultivated as a container for the body of another Sifang Kaguya, and some of them only had the false name of 'the adopted daughter of the head of the Quartet family'.

Instead of answering Kitagawa Temple in a hurry, Shifang Kaguya turned his head sideways and looked at each other with his eyes.

The young man in front of him saved his insignificant, floating life like a feather.

She may still be floating, without a position, without an opinion... But until then... She found that she seemed to be able to do something for the youth in front of her.

The mayfly can't make a choice, so it's up to him to help him make a choice.

The mayfly has no position, so it is up to him to take his position.

In this process, you may be able to find your own position and choice.

Sifang Kaguya blinked, suppressing her thoughts, she stopped, and said in a subtle voice: "Actually, there are thoughts about the follow-up, in fact, I have already thought about them all. ”

She slowly revealed her thoughts to Kitagawa Temple and the plate.

Kaguya's idea is simple, but it's really a good solution to the current situation-

It's up to her to pretend and replace another Quartet Kaguya.

"I've been serving the Tsukiyo Mirror since I was young, and the thoughts, conversations, and mannerisms of another Kaguya have been ingrained in my bones, so on hard terms, I don't have the slightest problem pretending to be her." Kaguya continued, "As for the elixir of immortality... This matter is illustrated by the ancient documents that Master Beichuan found in the Hall of Obscurity. ”

"With these handmarks stamped with the seal of the head of the family as evidence, it is inherently defective to tell the head of the family that the medicine of immortality is inherently flawed... As long as he says so, the other party can only give up no matter how unwilling he is. ”

She held the round mirror on her chest with her hand, and her eyes shone with a sparkling light: "And I, as the 'Ancestor Moon Witch' who can use the Moon Mirror and the Moon Mirror, he can only treat me with courtesy. ”

I have to say that the identity of another Kaguya is indeed better than the identity of Kaguya's body, and as long as you can skillfully use the identity of another Kaguya, you can indeed solve this whole thing smoothly.

But—

"What about your own identity?"

The voice of Kitagawa Temple rang out.

This made the body of the four directions Kaguya, who was talking energetically, tremble, and his words were interrupted.

Yes, what should be done with her ontological identity?

With another Kaguya's identity as a cover, her ontological identity naturally becomes a burden.

Kaguya didn't rush to answer the question, she held the round mirror on her chest and looked at the mirror with a misty halo.

There was silence for about a minute, and then Kaguya put the round mirror back on her chest, and her voice was soft: "There's something about my body... I'll tell the head of the house... I'm already dead, so there won't be any problems. ”

This answer obviously did not satisfy Kitagawa Temple, he frowned, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the deep voice of the Quartet Kaguya.

"Please don't go on. Master Kitagawa... Don't go on..."

She reached out and covered her face, her shoulders shaking.

Oh, yes... Don't say any more... Go on... The courage that has been mustered up so hard will be washed away.

I want to go back to that cold Quartet house again, and live a life that no one understands... The courage to live alone ... If you hear the opening of Beichuan Temple again, it will inevitably be completely dispersed.

She will become dependent on the other again.

It wasn't until this time that Kaguya Shikata found out.

It's only been a few days, and her eyes have been chasing the figure of Beichuan Temple, especially when Beichuan Temple is willing to exchange the medicine of immortality for her safety-

Although Beichuan Temple has also said that it is a simple strategy, because he has long known that the elixir of immortality is flawed.

But even this gave her an extra touch of warmth to her originally sad heart.

For this warmth... What is loneliness?

"That's the best way to fix it."

She covered her face, and before she knew it, she was already in tears.

Sifang Kaguya stammered: "I know, in fact, I am a very weak person, I know that I am about to face fate and dare not resist, I am a coward, I am a floating mayfly." The one that could have landed on my mayfly... It's just Master Kitagawa for you. I don't want to, I don't want to trouble you anymore. ”

She couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, crouched down, and sobbed softly.

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

He couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the four square Kaguya who was squatting on the ground.

"Temple-kun..."Ma Gong Yongshi took the figure of this lonely girl into his eyes, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes: "Although it may be difficult for some strong people, but..."

Isn't this just a strong man's difficulty? It's simply something that can't be done.

As Kaguya Shikata said, the method she provided was undoubtedly the smoothest way to resolve the whole incident.

By pretending to be another Quartet Kaguya, she can easily fool things over.

But then she can only live as 'another Quartet Kaguya', and she can't even show a trace of her own character... So what a lonely thing it is?

Asamiya Eiyo felt unbearable just thinking about it.

But in addition to this road, there is another way to come out...

Ma Gong floated behind Beichuan Temple for eternity, and sighed softly in his heart.

Difficult.

It's too hard.

But even though he knew that it was a very difficult road, Asamiya still wanted to help a group of Quartet Kaguya.

It's not willful or virgin, but because the four directions Kaguya do it mainly for the sake of Kitagawa Temple.

Makie who was floating next to Asamiya Eternity also rarely put away her expression, she hesitantly glanced at the face of Beichuan Temple, and couldn't help but say more: "Otherwise... Beichuan, you still have to think of a way, right? ”

As for Nishikujo, who doesn't speak, the pitiful movements are even more radical.

Her little puppet body climbed up to the top of Beichuan Temple's head, a round hand pulling his hair, and a small hammer in one hand.

Seeing the expressions of these good spirits staring at him one by two, Kitagawa Temple flicked his fingers, and then took Nishikujo Pity off his head with an expressionless face.

He shook his head and replied in a calm voice, "I didn't say I wouldn't help her, but it takes a process." ”

Kitagawa Temple walked up to the side of the Sifang Kaguya and stretched out his hand to pull up the Sifang Kaguya who was squatting on the ground.

"Master Kitagawa ...", Kazuya Quartet raised his pretty face.

Her face was full of tears, and she felt a sense of pity with pear blossoms and rain.

Beichuan Temple stared at her face for a while, and then turned his face sideways, with a little disgust in his tone: "You don't have a future cuteness, and after crying, you don't have a future cuteness." Let's cry less in the future. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!" Asamiya Yongsei, and the god resident Makie coughed violently.

The poor puppet face of Nishikujo next to him was sluggish, and he didn't even know when the small hammer he was holding in his hand slipped off.

"Master Kitagawa!" Kaguya is going to cry out again.

Originally, she was still immersed in her own sad world, but when Beichuan Temple said this, she couldn't hold it back.

"Don't make that look." Beichuan Temple couldn't help but shook his head again: "I have a way to solve your matter, and I don't need you to play another Kaguya." ”

Hearing this, Kamiju Makie blinked in surprise.

Is there a way for Kitagawa Temple?

What else can be done in this situation?

As if reading her thoughts, Beichuan Temple calmly spoke:

"Only those who are not capable can choose only one, and those who have sufficient ability naturally want both."

"Uhh

Kitagawa Temple didn't bother to care about the gods stationed in Maki-e, he glanced back at the Sifang Kaguya, and his voice did not change: "Let me say first, I helped you out of righteousness, maybe there is a little personal emotion mixed in this, but it is just a little personal emotion." ”

He held out his fingers, his index finger overlapping his thumb, and made a 'little bit' gesture.

Sifang Kaguya looked at the gesture of Beichuan Temple and hesitated for a while before asking:

"But... What's the solution? That's the whole Quartet..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

The strength of the Quartet family is very strong, which is very clear to the Quartet Kaguya, it is basically impossible to get through the trick, but even if you confess truthfully, it is difficult to get the forgiveness of the head of the family-

Before she could continue to think about it, she heard Beichuan Temple's tone ask without fluctuating: "Why do we use the premise of 'getting the forgiveness of the Quartet Family'?" Or is it..."

Beichuan Temple has an extra hideous sledgehammer in his hand.

He asked very seriously: "What kind of people from your Quartet family can beat me?" ”

"......" Quartet Kaguya.

Yes, the status of the disadvantaged group for many years has formed a fixed trend in the thinking of the four directions.

Why do you have to put yourself in a vulnerable position? Isn't it Beichuan Temple that he is stronger now?

As Kitagawa Temple said, the Sifang family has been in decline for a long time as a family that exorcises spirits, because the inheritance of the Sifang Shrine has been cut off for too long, and it is said that someone in it has been able to fight the Kitagawa Temple that can solve the evil spirit...?

This simply can't be found.

"But... The financial resources of the Quartet... It's not as good as a consortium, but it's very—" Kaguya Quartet's mouth snorted.

Beichuan Temple blinked: "I know several consortium heirs. ”

Quartet Kaguya's face turned red:

"But、But there are also people in the political circles who are Quartet..."

"The Hayakawa family in Ibaraki Prefecture, the head of the Tokyo political party... There is also an acquaintance in the police circle... They should all be able to help me. ”

"......" Quartet Kaguya.

She quieted down.

"You shouldn't be thinking about how to sacrifice yourself, or how to think about me..."

Kitagawa Temple pinched his eyebrows, looking at the frightened expression on Kaguya's face, he still reached out and touched her little head.

He continued to speak softly, "What you should be thinking is... What should you do yourself? What kind of rights do you want? I can't make a choice for you, that's just your way of running away. You have the ability and obligation to make your own choices, and you have a responsibility to take responsibility for the choices you make. ”

"You are only yourself, and you can only be yourself... You are not a mayfly, you now have the obligation and responsibility to make your own choices. ”

His voice was slow, but every word carried an indescribable heaviness.

Listening to what Kitagawa Temple said, Shifang Kaguya bit his lower lip tightly.

And then—

She nodded vigorously and wiped away all her tears:

"I know what to do."

Shifang Kaguya took a deep breath, then pounced on him and hugged Kitagawa Temple without hesitation.

A soft whisper followed:

"Thank you, Master Kitagawa."

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

Kitagawa Temple shook his head again, and then exhaled heavily:

"Hmm."
