What Saito didn't know was that after leaving Aizu Castle, the young girl named Kazuo Shinoda faced a battle that was not at all easier than a fight between the old shogunate army and the new government army. half point.

After being teleported back to Honmaru, he entrusted the five swords that had returned to their original shape to Hasebe and the others who came to welcome them after hearing the sound, but were shocked by the bad image of the female judge. Liu Quan followed and waited. Foxnosuke who was in Honmaru went to the government of time.

This time, she still came to the small living room where she met the representative of the government of the time—the big man—at the beginning of her tenure, and what she saw was still the big man.The difference is that his expression is a little ugly.

Of course, when he saw Liu Quan and Sanri Yue Zongjin who was closely behind her, his eyebrows twitched slightly—it seemed that he was also surprised by the poor appearance of the two of them.

However, the solemn look on his face did not lighten at all.

"Let's talk about it. What happened? Why didn't Kanna Rinne come back? Where are the swords in her hand?" He asked coldly, his tone sounding a bit aggressive.

Liu Quan sat down on the sofa opposite him, straightened his back as much as possible, raised his chin, showing a posture of neither humble nor overbearing.

"Due to personal reasons, Kanna Rinne intends to harm me as a companion. If she is dominated by the will of her own god judge and wants to attack another god judge, she will also fall into the dark as a sword." Her The voice is extremely calm and subdued, and it sounds like cold water drops falling into a deep pool in winter.

The big man let out an oh, his eyes as sharp as a falcon were still firmly locked on her face.

"What kind of personal reasons?" he pressed.

Liu Quan replied calmly, "Jealous."

"Oh~?!" The big man leaned forward slightly as if interested, staring at her closely. "Tell me, why is Kanna Rinne jealous of you?"

Liu Quan raised his eyebrows, as if he thought this question was funny.

"Well, before she attacked me, she didn't tell me why I should die. ... But let me guess—because she thinks I'm younger than her? Better at swordsmanship than her? Stronger than her? More popular than her?..." She put forward several possibilities in an understatement, with the inconceivable expression of "How do I know why a person who can barely be regarded as an ordinary friend suddenly wants to kill me?" was written all over her face.

The big man snorted, leaned back on the sofa, and asked calmly, "So, is this what you think?"

Liu Quan sighed slightly and nodded.

"People who are afraid of being replaced, people who are afraid of being robbed of the limelight...that's how timid they are." She looked at the other party calmly, "Thinking that with the little power I have now, I can unknowingly eliminate People standing in her way..."

She also leaned her upper body slightly forward, looking straight into the eyes of the big man, with a subtle smile on her lips.

"...Unfortunately, even an idiot like me is not so easy to deal with."

Standing behind her, Mikazuki Zongjin, who has always maintained the humble and respectful posture that a qualified valet should have, slightly lowered his gaze, appropriately downplaying his own presence—but when he heard these words, he There seemed to be a ray of light in his eyes, which flashed quickly without anyone knowing.

The big man pondered for a moment.

"Then, after you go back, write a detailed report on what happened and give it to Honosuke, and ask him to bring it back to me." He ordered.

Liu Quan responded, stood up and politely said goodbye.But until she walked out of the room, she still felt the gaze of the person behind her cast on her back, like a light on her back.

After stepping into the teleportation circle and returning to Honmaru, there was no one in the courtyard—but the laughter and laughter from other places in Honmaru vaguely drifted over.

Although their god judges were able to complete the task and returned safely after a death struggle, and in the end, five of the six accompanying gods turned back to their original swords because of the limited spiritual power of the god judges. However, these heavy facts only surprised the entire Honmaru for a limited period of time.

After all, the actual builder of this pill is also a young girl who often has problems with her spiritual power.Everyone has long been used to the fact that there is a colleague who is also the sword Fusangshen, who turns back to the real body in the blink of an eye, and then after a period of time, is regained spiritual power through some wonderful and unspeakable way. My lord, summon the appearance of Fusangshen from the sword again.

Therefore, it has been more than half a year since the new God Assessor arrived in office, and it was the first time that he clearly showed a mistake in the lack of spiritual power. The problems that came up in the middle, for everyone in this pill, it is already a very good performance--as for the five fusangshen who temporarily returned to the main body to sleep?Then I have to worry about the god judge and some Fusangshen with higher status and more important positions, right?

Therefore, when Liu Quan stepped into the courtyard from the teleportation array, there was no one in the courtyard.

Scattered laughter came from the other end across a long corridor. In the middle of the courtyard, which was set as a summer scene, the lotus leaves in the pond were swaying with the wind.

Hasebe and others probably got the news that the teleportation array was activated, and they are running here.What would they say when they saw her?

Ah, by the way, in the team of those who hurried to the courtyard to welcome their return, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada will not be there, nor will he be there for a while.

...Because they have all had their spiritual power drawn and returned to their original bodies.

Now is not the time to be sad.Because it is necessary to quickly think about where to squeeze the excess spiritual power from, and make the Fusangshen of the five swords reappear as soon as possible——

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind her, directly covering her eyes.

Liu Quan: "...Hey!! Sanriyue, it's not time to joke—"

"Ahahahaha." Sanri Yuezong laughed calmly behind her as usual.

Liu Quan became a little anxious.

"Hey... let me go! In case everyone sees——"

Before she finished speaking, she felt that Sanri Yuezong raised her palm slightly, touched the center of her frowning brows with her fingertips, and then gently stroked there with her fingertips back and forth.

Liu Quan:? !

Sanri Yuezong replied gently: "Okay~ I will let go in time - but before that, please relax a little bit, Xueye-kun?"

Liu Quan:! ! !

She turned around abruptly!

This action made her entire face slide over his palm at that moment.Although he had just come down from the cruel battlefield just like her, there was no choking smell of gunpowder smoke and dust in his palm, but a faint scent of tea, which passed from his fingers to her nose. and then hovered in front of her; this made her even more surprised, she couldn't help opening her eyes slightly, reached out and grabbed the male hand that almost covered her eyes and forehead, and pulled it from her eyes .

As the hand fell, Sanri Yue Zongjin's smiling eyes slowly appeared in her field of vision.Those eyes had the color of the sky and the shape of the crescent moon, and the eyes that looked at her were very deep and soft.

He looked directly into her eyes and repeated what he had just said.

"You're already home, Yukiha.—So, relax a little bit?"

For some reason, the moment she heard his voice, the tip of her nose suddenly became sour, and hot tears quickly poured into her eyes.

"'Home'..." She repeated the term in a low voice, lowered her gaze, and shook her head slightly.

"...I don't have a 'home'."

Hearing the negative words, the smile on Mikazuki Zongjin's face did not change at all.

He just watched her hold his hand tolerantly, as if he was restraining him from making any embarrassing actions at will, but with an expression on his face like a hesitant child who was about to cry, and then stretched out The left hand that was not held by her gently stroked her hair.

"When you want to go back, there is a place you can go back to, and when you know that you can go back there, you can sleep in peace and don't have to worry about other things—that, you can call it 'home' Right." He said with a smile.

Liu Quan: "..."

For a while, she couldn't say anything.

Is that so……?

Maybe, not so.Because, it has been a long time, and she has never encountered the kind of place described in his words, as if there has never been such a place in this world.Therefore, she didn't know whether what he said was right or not—after all, he was not a mortal, but a sword, just a god incarnated from the sword; Understand the definition of such a mortal.

However, for some reason, she did not point this out to him, but stared blankly at his slightly curved eyebrows.

His appearance was almost as embarrassing as hers, and the black suit he borrowed from Candlestick Qie Guangzhong before he left for the battle was already worn out, and it seemed that he was going to pay Candlestick Qie Guangzhong for a new one—but he was still indifferent Brows and eyes were bent, with such a quiet courage that one couldn't help but want to succumb to it, quietly said these words to her, and stroked her hair——

"Sanriyue," she heard her own voice, and tried her best to bring an understated smile into her tone—but her voice was still a little trembling, as if she was about to reveal something in the next second——

"Huh?" Sanri Yuezong replied softly above her head.

Liu Quan was silent for a moment.

"Why are you so gentle all of a sudden..." she said in a low voice, her lips were slowly pursed together and tightened into a straight line, as if trying to endure something.

"...It's almost unaccustomed to—"

"Ahahaha." Sanri Yuezong laughed.

"I don't know if I'm gentle," he said, in an unusually calm and soft voice.

"But I think that the so-called tenderness is to pay attention to the other party-and paying attention to the other party shows that this person is very strong."

His left hand gently slid across the top of her hair, stroking her long hair that had become messy and knotted due to the fierce battle.

"Mr. Xueye is a powerful person. Therefore, it deserves my attention." He said.

"I've seen a lot of people so far so I think so."

The author has something to say:

February 1:

Well, everyone is looking forward to (?) mints! 【Huh

The last paragraph about the definition of tenderness comes from the lines of Grandpa Hanamaru yo w
