Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Honmaru suddenly changed to a new scene.

Although the new appraiser seems to like the scenery of spring very much, especially the so-called "manyozakura" in the garden, the sea of ​​pink flowers blooming in spring makes people feel refreshed; but the day before, she suddenly looked at the calendar and said, " Ah, it’s already May 5st?”, and then without warning, it was replaced by Summer Scenery, which surprised everyone in Honmaru.

After seeing the spring cherry blossoms in three seasons, the green courtyard in summer and the tinkling wind chimes hanging under the eaves of the corridor all make people feel suddenly bright.

Not to mention that the scenery changed by the female judge seems to be a limited edition-big plump watermelons appeared in the field of Honmaru.And those watermelons are picked repeatedly, although they only occupy a small corner of the field, but after picking the watermelons the day before, after a night, when you wake up the next morning, you will find that there are ripe watermelons waiting to be picked again in that corner. The watermelon was amazing.

So, the next night, everyone happily gnawed on the sweet watermelon, and praised the benevolent governance of the female judge (super thick fog!).

Hasebe also looked happy.Because Honmaru saves a sum of money to buy watermelons in Wanwu—you know that Honmaru has so many mouths, and watermelons are never cheap in the neon market, it is a luxury to let everyone eat as much as they want ah--

So this night, Hasebe and Candekiri, who have been working so hard to take care of everyone in Honmaru (huh), just held a small party in the middle of the wide courtyard of Honmaru through the watermelon tasting meeting .

Colorful flags and shining lanterns were set up on the big trees around the courtyard, and plates of sliced ​​watermelons were placed on the long tables on both sides; Bodo, who was active in thinking, simply ran to borrow the watermelon she had just bought from the goddess. The karaoke machine was moved to the courtyard, but was warned by the female interrogator that singing is allowed, but it is absolutely not allowed to charge everyone, so it was a bit sluggish, and it was not until they ate three large slices of watermelon that they regained their vigor; the three Gun and Taro Jiro drank wine leisurely. After drinking happily, they sang a song, but sometimes the broken sound that was out of tune made the people next to them look black...

It wasn't until late at night that everyone almost dispersed.

Occasionally in the corridor of Honmaru, there would be the sound of Jiro Tachi, who was drunk, humming a song, and Nippon Ho talking loudly to the other two famous guns; however, the voice gradually dissipated, and After a while, walking on the long corridor, I could only faintly hear loud snoring from some rooms through the shoji door.

Sankai Yuezong walked lightly in the empty corridor.

He turned one corner after another until he was back in the courtyard where everyone had a ceilidh just now.

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong took some other Fusangshen, and the action of cleaning up the venue was very fast; the mess just now had completely disappeared in the courtyard, and the tables, chairs and garbage were also taken away, and it was clean; only The colorful lights wrapped around the surrounding trees are still shining brightly in the middle of the night.

And under the many-leaved cherry tree in the courtyard, which had already lost its blossoms and only had its lush branches and leaves stretching, stood a slender and slim figure.

The person looked up slightly at the crown of the Manyozakura tree, the colorful lights surrounding the entire courtyard were shining brightly, and the dots of light formed light spots, dancing lightly between her loose long hair.

Sanri Yuezong stopped unknowingly.Only at this time did he discover that there was something in the courtyard that made him feel subtly inconsistent—the big gadget called "Karaoke Machine", created in this world, was still there, and the indicator light on it was still on; Although the volume had been turned down very low, it was undoubtedly still running, playing a song he had never heard before.

【Floating exhaustion

sleepy sky

dying cherry tree

If I can trace the whereabouts of those fluttering petals

Man's fate is like an illusory dream]

Sanriyue Zongjin:?

It sounds like a sad song.And if you continue to listen, it will feel even more wrong.

[appears in the eyelids

Thoughts on your beloved]

His eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes turned away from the icy machine in this world, and fell on her who was still looking up at the cherry blossom tree whose cherry blossoms had all fallen.

【I want to protect you

but can't protect you

Make a promise quietly at this moment

no matter how many times

The day when the full sun shines through the gaps in the leaves

I will come back to you]

He finally took a step, walked towards her under the tree, stopped behind her, raised his head slightly, and looked at the lush and dense canopy.

"... At this time, can Mr. Xueye see the 'full sunlight passing through the gaps in the leaves'?"

he asked with a smile.

She was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh.

"No," she replied, turning at last to look him directly.

He keenly noticed that her eye sockets were a little red.

"Oh?" He was surprised to send out this kind of modal particle similar to question and surprise.

Of course she also knew why he was surprised.She blinked her eyes, smiled, lowered her eyes slightly, and turned her face away a little.

"... No matter what time it is, I can't go back."

There was a long and undisguised melancholy in her voice.

Sanri Yuezong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"...Does this song remind you of...someone?" His voice was still calm and melodious, and it sounded like he was seriously caring for a friend, worthy of a good friend card.

The gaze of the female judge flickered.

"...This song is written by people in this world, and it's written for Mr. Zongsi." There was a strange smile in her voice.

Mikazuki Zongjin let out an ooh in surprise.

"Okita... the chief executive?"

The name was not what he expected.

"Yes, Director Okita." The female interrogator nodded, then suddenly laughed, and raised her head to look at him.

"It's a miracle to find such a song in the machine that passed the inspection of the Government of Time..." she said, "Of course, as far as I know, there are other songs... living musicians, write to the earth The sir's song, the song written for Yikun... are also very good; but none of those songs appeared."

When he said the names of the people he had expected, her eyes were clear and clear, like the moonlight tonight, bright with a hint of coldness, frankly focused on his face.

"Then, I thought, well, maybe this song is just right."

"No matter how many more 'full sun through the leaves' days—"

"I can't even go back."

Mikazuki Zongjin's expression moved slightly for a moment, as if showing a little bit of real surprise.But the wavering between expressions was only a momentary thing, he let out a breath, and the gentle smile like an iron mask returned to his face.

"You can go back." He said, those eyes containing the crescent moon stared deeply at her.

"As long as you continue to fight... you will always reach the places where they are."

"Although the last experience made you painful...but because of this, you have the opportunity to see them again."

When the Five Swords of the World, who have been in the world for thousands of years, said these words, there seemed to be a trace of emotion and melancholy.

"Aizu, Hakodate, Utsunomiya...Although they are not good places, but you understand, right? If you want to chase the person of your dreams, you can't do without suffering...There is no other way -"

The female judge suddenly opened her eyes wide.Something flashed through her mind like lightning, and she suddenly took a step in front of him, her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"...That's not like what you'd say, Crescent Moon—"

Five Swords Under Heaven first widened their eyes slightly, then lowered their eyes and smiled.

"...Really." He replied softly, "Doesn't it sound like something I would say..."

"Yes." The female examiner stopped only two or three steps away from him, staring at him with complex emotions - questions, worries, and sharp inquiries.

"Ahaha." Sanri Yuezong smiled gently.

"I, too, occasionally say something surprising—" he said.

"...But, who said that sentence just now, who said it to you?!" The female judge sharply interrupted his calm attempt to make peace.

"'If you want to chase the man of your dreams, you can't go without suffering...there's no other way'."

She repeated the words that made her suspicious, raised her head slightly to meet his calm face, which was completely inconsistent with the tense atmosphere, and asked word by word: "...What about this matter? Is it related to Kanna Rinne?"

Mikazuki Zongjin:! ! !

For such a short moment, the face of Five Swords Under Heaven showed a rare expression of surprise.Although he quickly concealed that emotion well, the question she asked undoubtedly hit his heart.

The eyes with the golden crescent moon slowly dimmed.He asked softly, "Why did you say such a thing?"

Before answering, the female interrogator took a deep breath.

"Because she has been asking me about you." She replied, "If you were only curious about the knife 'Sanri Yue Zongjin', one of the five swords in the world, it wouldn't be so..."

"She is flattering me, she is getting closer to me without any trace, and becoming my friend... And all of this is just because she is interested in this 'Sankayue Zongjin' in my Honmaru."

"If you have the opportunity to probe a little deeper, you can always get some clues."

Mikazuki Zongjin's eyebrows twitched slightly.He still didn't answer her.

The Goddess took another step closer to him.

"Maybe you don't know yet, the Government of Time issued a new order this afternoon."

"It is said that on some past maps, there appeared a larger and more dangerous time-traveling army with unpredictable behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with each other and go out together..."

Sanriyue Zongjin:? !

He was slightly moved, showing a look of astonishment.

The female interrogator continued: "You must also remember the interrogator partner assigned to me. —— Kanna Rinne."

"Before going into battle, I want to know that there is no unreasonable secret between me and her... Otherwise, the feeling of being stabbed in the back by a companion on the battlefield is really terrible."

The female judge was so outspoken that Sanri Yuezong lowered his eyebrows, remained silent for a long time, and sighed silently.

The karaoke machine, which had been almost forgotten by them, was still quietly repeating the song endlessly.

【Even if separated far away

I will always / love you]

It sang on the speaker.

"Kanwu Xiangzi..." Mikazuki Zongjin finally moved his lips slightly, uttering the completely unfamiliar name of such a female god-inspector.

"...What?" She couldn't believe her ears, and asked in amazement.

Mikazuki Zongjin raised his gaze and looked directly at her face.Those eyes with the crescent moon looked extremely calm now, but it was like the sea at night, and there seemed to be a huge storm hidden under the calm sea.

"I guess, Kanmu Kyoko is probably her... some elder." He said with a sigh.

The female interrogator had no choice but to ask: "...Kanwu Xiangzi, who is it?"

Rarely, before answering her, he seemed to hesitate slightly.The demeanor that was always rich, gentle, tolerant and superior in front of her disappeared.

"...It was my former judge." He opened his mouth slowly, and said something terrible.

"It's also... a woman who has been expecting me to hide her all her life, but in the end I failed to meet this expectation."

Female examiner:! ?
