Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Honosuke brought the certificate of commendation from Tokinosuke to Honmaru, but Hasebe, the close attendant that day, couldn't find where the judge was.

However, the certificate of commendation brought by Fox Nosuke couldn't be ignored, so he had to sit in the office of the female judge and chat with Fox Noosuke—by the way, fulfilling the duties of a qualified servant, from then on Foxnosuke inquired about some news, such as how the Shizhi government felt about the performance of their god judges in the battle of Utsunomiya; for example, if there is any urgent plan in the future, they should immediately criticize their god judges. Take heavy quests, go to other locations, etc.

Since I stayed to divert Fox's attention, I had to entrust others with the task of finding the Goddess.When Hasebe walked out of the judge's office under the pretense of going to make tea, he happened to see Yiqi Yizhen walking past the court.So he was very relieved - and overjoyed - rushed over, seized a moment and whispered a few words quickly.

One issue, one strike: ? !

Since it was entrusted by Hasebe, this matter is not something that can be left alone, so Yiqi Yizhen had to search inside and outside the Honmaru, and even went to the fields and stables; Yamato Mamoru Yasada was busy brushing Hibari and Takara Kuro, Kasen Kanesada was drying the clean clothes in the open space, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada was busy in the kitchen with superb cooking skills, brothers Taro and Jiro were repairing the door frame, Izumi Mori Kanesada was pulling weeds in the field with a dirty look on his face.

After learning of the fact that "the judge of God is missing", Izumi Mori Kanesada's reaction was also very strange.

He stood up with a whoosh, and threw the handful of weeds in his hand to the side, as if he was going to find someone soon; but the next moment he seemed to remember something, his face The color on the bed turned blue and then black, and finally squatted back in resentment, and said in a rough voice: "What are you afraid of, maybe I almost killed Mr. Hijikata, so I feel sad, and I feel guilty in hiding!"

One issue, one shock: "..."

Ah, I didn't seem to notice this person before... No, this knife—has this childish side?

Perhaps it was because he was unknowingly affected by the existence of someone—or the situation in front of him?

Phase [-] let out a sigh, feeling that now is not the time to reason with him, the most important thing is to find the female interrogator first.

So he thought about it for a while, and felt that since the entire range of Honmaru had been searched and there were no figures, he had to consider a possibility——

The judge slipped out of Honmaru.

This time it's a little trickier.Although it is not stipulated that the God Assessor must stay firmly within the range of the Honmaru all day and not take a step, most of the God Assessors will not leave the range of the Honmaru rashly like this.Because the location of most of the Honmaru is very desolate, there is no good place for the god-judgment to wander around; many god-judgers would rather report to the government of time and go to the present world than rush out to wander around.

But if you report it to the Government of Time because of this...will the judge be punished? !

This possibility made Yiqi Yizhen decisively deny the option of [Report to the Government of Time] in an instant.However, Foxosuke is still sitting in the office of the judge with the certificate of commendation, and Hasebe-kun can't delay for too long, he must find the judge before then!

Yizhen Yizhen was wondering whether to gather other swords in private, and went out to look for them separately, but when he looked up, he saw Sanri Yuezong Jin Shi Shiran sitting on the porch drinking tea.

Of course, there is also a long-term tea friend sitting beside him—Chawan, no, Yingwan.However, Yizhen felt that the one who could immediately make him feel a certain sense of vigilance like a conditioned reflex, of course, was one of the five swordsmen under heaven.

"Ah, ah, ah." One of the five swords under heaven held a teacup in his hand, and spoke.

"Phase [-], what are you busy with? His expression is a bit ugly."

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell the truth.

"Funosuke-kun brought a certificate of commendation from the government of Tokino to the master, and Hasebe-kun is receiving him in the master's office. ... But the master is gone."

Hearing such news suddenly, the smiles on the faces of Mikami Tsukimune and Yingmaru disappeared.

Yiqi Yizhen continued: "I have searched the entire Honmaru, and there is no trace of the owner anywhere. Now there is only one possibility..."

Yingmaru: "Ah, did you leave Honmaru without permission?"

The affluent smile on Sanri Yue Zongjin's face just now completely disappeared, and now his complexion has darkened, and he looks surprisingly intimidating.

He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.

"This matter is no small matter.... But she is not such an irresponsible person, let alone escape from this place casually." After his voice calmed down, it sounded a sense of awe and aloofness , people unconsciously want to listen.

"First phase-kun, let's help to find it together too....Youmaru, can you please quietly contact the other swords and help find the owner together? Ah yes, it's daytime now, so the short swords should stay at Honmaru."

Sanri Yue Zongjin assigned tasks with an unusually calm tone, and unknowingly took the dominant position.In the face of such an important situation, Yiqi Yizhen would certainly not compete with him; Yingmaru also put down the teacup very simply, and stood up.

It is said that they are casting a wide net to find people, but in fact there are only a few possible places-the wilderness outside the main pill, and the dilapidated shrine behind the main pill with the natural teleportation array that the time-traveling army is looking for.

Of course, it is best to send more people to patrol the wilderness with hand-drawn nets. In case the god judge happens to be attacked by the time-traveling army when he is alone, and falls in the long grass on the wilderness, it is also an unlikely occurrence. A bad option that cannot be completely ruled out - of course, no one will say this, but when they went out, everyone naturally split up and went in different directions.

Houshan Shrine is the focus of the investigation—considering the powerful natural teleportation array that is favored even by the time-traveling army, as many as six people were carefully dispatched to the shrine to find the god-inspector in the first phase. The team is simply luxuriously configured, and the possibility of encountering the time-traveling army and fighting with it is definitely taken into account.

Yizhen wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Sanri Yuezong's words.

"Hahaha, Honmaru has enough manpower, please go to the wilderness and take charge of the search work in the first phase."

One of the five swords in the world walked slowly towards the back of the mountain, and when he passed by Yiqi Yizhen, he reached out and patted Yiqi Yizhen on the shoulder kindly (?), saying so.

"There's no need to force yourself to endure the test of painful memories again and again?"

A shock:! ! !

He turned his head abruptly, but Sanri Yuezong had already walked away leisurely.

Standing where he was, looking at the back of one of the five swordsmen under heaven, chewing on his meaningful words, the eldest son of the Awataguchi family showed a wry smile.

"...Who are you trying to say this to?"

He murmured, pressed the hilt of the body knife at his waist, straightened his back, turned and walked towards a wilderness outside Honmaru.

Sanri Yuezong came to the foot of the back mountain recently, but did not immediately climb the mountain along the ancient stone path.

He walked slowly around, and finally seemed to settle on a direction.After stepping on the stone steps and walking for a while, he turned to the side, and after walking a little sluggishly in the dense forest, the forest in front of him gradually became thinner, and there was the faint sound of gurgling water.

He didn't stop walking, but the corners of his lips slowly curled up, and it looked like a confident smile floated on his face.

After he walked for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had actually passed through the grove and came to a small stream.

There are not many trees on this side of the hillside, and the stream meandering down from the top of the hill is just a trickle; but beside the stream, there is an open space, and the sun just happens to cast on that open space at this moment, making people feel warm of.

In that open space, there was a person lying on his back, wearing a red and white priestess costume, with his left arm bent on his waist and abdomen, his right arm bent and placed on the side of his head, one leg stretched out and the other bent, Just lying on the lawn so carelessly.The sun shone down from the blue sky at noon, softly coating her figure with a layer of golden light.

Sanri Yue Zongjin used to walk through the forest in a hurry, but now he seems not in a hurry; he slowed down, walked slowly to the side of the man, sat down like that, then turned sideways, looking down condescendingly looking at her.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be asleep.Sanri Yuezong stared at her for a while, but suddenly said:

"Mr. Xueye?...There is no need to force yourself to endure the test of painful memories again and again?"

The man's drooping long eyelashes moved slightly, but he didn't open his eyes immediately, but said calmly in a tone like "I knew it was you":

"If what you really want to ask is - have I been thinking about Mr. Hijikata, then I can answer you frankly right now: no."

Her voice was slightly hoarse, but unexpectedly there was a strange smile in her voice.

Mikazuki Zongjin seemed to sigh slightly.

"...I didn't mean to ask you that either." His magnetic and charming voice rose slightly, and it sounded surprisingly soft.

The female examiner was silent for a second.

"...Oh~?!" She made a slight sound at the end.However, her expression seemed far less interesting than her tone of voice—her eyes were still closed, as if she was almost asleep under the warm sun.

Before Sanri Yue Zongjin continued, he glanced calmly at the lazy and leisurely posture of the female examiner.

It looked impeccable.I never imagined that the person in front of me, who was lying leisurely on the hillside basking in the sun, let Honmaru find her to find a man who turned the world upside down. He was standing on the ruins of Utsunomiya Castle a few days ago because he had to be shot and wounded at the last moment. A guy who cried loudly without image after losing his former lover, who seemed so weak, so hesitant, and so helpless.

That kind of behavior undoubtedly pushed her former lover further away from herself.He also believed that she was not a cheeky person who could hurt others unscrupulously, turn her head away, and demand affection and rewards from those people as if nothing had happened.

However, Qingyuan Xueye, after this battle, can really completely cut off the fetters with that person, and treat that person as a stranger on the mission map from now on?

In this regard, he did not have enough confidence.Because that person's influence on her can be said to be too deep, so deep that after she had to hurt him for the sake of higher justice and goals, she would cry loudly and call that person's name; Holding her words tightly, he really doubted that she would lose her mind and jump down to that person in the next moment-and that was something he would never allow to happen.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the seasons change. He has seen the changes in the world for more than 1000 years, and he knows that some things—even fragile lives or stubborn feelings—will eventually be replaced by time and more people he meets along the way. Exhausted by chance.

Oh, how funny and ironic this is.

The swords and swords that were forged by human beings and became famous through the use and possession of these human heroes are more durable and immortal than the craftsmen who cast them and the masters who use them.

Hijikata Toshizo will never pass 1869, and Kiyohara Yukiha—one day she will understand that she is already standing under the sky of 2205.

One day she will understand that those false encounters realized in the name of missions cannot last for a moment.
