[Comprehensive] There seems to be something wrong with the judge

Dupont dropped the sunspot on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.At the moment when the chess game officially started, Zuo Wei, who was originally keen to show off his cuteness, seemed to be a different person in an instant.He straightened his back, his eyes became sharp and domineering, and with an indomitable momentum, he pointed the top of the bat fan on the chessboard.

"Let's get started." At this moment, he was completely different from the harmless human soul just now, and he looked more like an uncrowned king.

Yamabuki Kunihiro looked at Du Peng, and then secretly looked at Sakai Fujiwara next to him, inexplicably feeling that sitting at one end of the chessboard, knowing nothing, was like a rabbit caught between two tigers .Da Dao, who had never questioned the sharpness of his blade, shook his head blankly, trying to get rid of this inexplicable illusion.

Then, he put his hand into the chess jar beside him, carefully tried Dupont's way of picking up the chess pieces with his index and middle fingers, but ended in failure.There was no way, Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro could only hold a chess piece with his thumb and forefinger honestly, and carefully placed it on the chessboard.

Fujiwara Zuowei discovered the little trick of the blond hair hitting the knife.He smiled softly, and his smile was filled with the tolerance and love that a strong man has for his juniors.Then, Human Soul began to introduce the rules of chess to the blonde with a nice voice.

His voice is not loud.But besides Yamabaki Kirihiro who was beside him, even Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Wuhutui who were in another room sounded like they were talking in their ears.This made Taidao and Short Sword distracted frequently, unable to concentrate on chatting with Horikawa Kunihiro.

After a while, the little dagger couldn't stand it anymore.

He had heard Dupont's arrangements.Anyway, everyone has to learn how to play chess. After hearing Zuo Wei's explanation, he couldn't help but silently write it down in his heart.But you can't see the chessboard, and you can't understand it just by listening. For example, the "star position" of Go refers to the small black dots on the chessboard, but where are the small black dots?Can't see it here at all!

——And things like that made Dagger extremely curious.

The little boy endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but said to Horikawa Kunihiro: "That... Horikawa-kun, I'm very sorry, can we go and see the master playing chess with Yamabachi? It's very interesting."

Of course, Horikawa Kunihiro has noticed the disorientation of the two companions.

He didn't understand why his companions were distracted, because he couldn't hear or see Sakai Fujiwara all the time.As Du Peng and Zuo Wei mentioned in their conversation, being able to see the soul of Go requires special opportunities and abilities.It is precisely because Dupont has this ability that the swords supported by his spiritual power have inherited part of his ability, so they can hear and see Zuowei.

However, since the Five Tigers had already made a request, Horikawa Kunihiro could not refuse.Does he have to tell the truth, like—it's better not to, he doesn't like this hommaru's judge, he doesn't want to stay with him, he just wants to get together with his companions?Waki almost nodded, swallowed his true feelings silently, and reminded thoughtfully: "Will this disturb the judge?"

Little Short Knife tilted his head and thought about it in embarrassment and anticipation, and replied, "That's right, then I'll ask the master first, if we can watch chess on the side."

As he said that, before anyone could answer, he had already stood up, and ran all the way to the door of the chess room. He waited until Du Peng's chess piece for this step would not be disturbed, then knocked lightly on the door and asked in a low voice. : "Master, can we come over and watch you play chess?"

Dupont raised his head and looked at Zuowei who was sitting next to Yamabuchi Kirihiro. The originally serious dead soul turned back to his silly and sweet painting style, nodding his head desperately and shouting, "Well, let them come!" ", the new interrogator nodded with a grumpy smile, and replied: "Just be quiet."

He reminded his swords in a way that only Horikawa Kunihiro could not hear: "Horikawa-kun can't see Sakai, please be careful, don't let him find out that something is wrong." 』Knife’s smile froze for a minute.Ah, because he is really bad at disguising and covering up.Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro and Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada were slightly better than the Five Tigers, but they were not much better, and they unconsciously showed a little surprise.However, the first to return to normal was the boy with the dagger who followed Dupont the longest.

He cheered silently, forcibly ignoring Sakai, who had a strong sense of presence, and waved desperately at Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Horikawa Kunihiro, mouthing "Come on, come on".

Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada looked back from the room over there, and fell on Wakizawa who had infinite doubts in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I hope Horikawa you don't mind, Tei really likes Master Dupont, so I'm a little clingy to him. You don’t need to be too cautious when you come to Lord Dupont, as long as you are polite, there will be no problem.”

Just now, before the judge reminded them that Kunihiro Horikawa couldn't see Sakai Fujiwara, Candlestick Kiri had noticed that the judge changed two different communication methods in a very subtle place.

If it is an ordinary human being, it is possible to ignore the difference between the two.But Sword Fusangshen has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and his vigilance and sensitivity cannot be compared with it.Since a man suddenly appeared in Go, Horikawa Kunihiro's confusion is obvious.

Therefore, even if Dupont didn't specifically remind him, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada had already guessed that Horikawa Kunihiro probably couldn't see this Fujiwara Sakai, and he had already decided to treat this matter cautiously.

It was their master who said that he didn't want Horikawa Kunihiro to find out about the existence of Fujiwara Sakumi. He hadn't set up any chess room before, but he wanted to take out the chessboard when Wakizawa came to visit...

Among all Dupont's swords and swords, only Candlestick Qie Guangzhong suffered from excessive brain supplementation and was deliberately misled by Dupont.Therefore, he was the only one who suddenly woke up, and found that his evil spirit judge was probably doing what he had done to him not long ago.

What "I love to eat anything", "Go to your room to cook", "Record all of this", ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh suddenly blushing because of the bad memories that popped up, he couldn't help but beat the tatami mat beside him with his hand .

Lord Dupont must have done it on purpose!If he didn't take out the chessboard and let this guy who was dressed like a retrograde army appear, all these swords would be subdued by him, and they would never draw their swords against him no matter what!Their masters were making trouble again, and when they discovered this, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada immediately began to worry about Horikawa Kunihiro.

Looking at Wakizawa who was taken aback by his sudden slap on the ground, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada couldn't help lowering his voice, and added solemnly, "Horikawa, you must not treat Dupont Adults are hostile!"

Horikawa Kunihiro fell into great confusion.Just as Dupont expected, he couldn't sort out the truth of everything in front of him from Candlestick Cutlight's faithful advice, and while he didn't know why, a series of misunderstandings occurred smoothly.In other words, it's not a misunderstanding, after all, "Don't be hostile to the god judge", this sentence really means that there is no good fruit to be hostile to him.

Kunihiro Yamabashi was obviously under duress, and his companions were fidgeting.Now, the Five Tigers let him go to the God Judge, and Candlestick Qie Guangzhong specifically reminded him to be tame and obedient?Why is this?Is this unattractive human being in front of him really so scary that his companions are so afraid?

The young boy nodded.His character is not arbitrary, and he immediately decided to take Taidao's warning seriously.The black-haired young man smiled at Candlestick Cut Mitsutada and said, "Okay, Candlestick Cut, I'll remember. Let's go there."

Taidao and Wakizashi soon came to the freshly baked chess room.The small short knife has already occupied the position on the left hand side of Dupont, and it can be close to Dupont without being too close to affect his moves.In order to take care of the guests, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada courted Horikawa Kunihiro, chose a position facing the chessboard, which was convenient for watching chess, and knelt down quietly.

While watching Dupont and Yamabagiri play chess, Horikawa Kunihiro found doubts again.

Mingming Shanbao Kirihiro has already said that he can't play chess anymore, but the judge still asks Blonde to hit him with a knife.Moreover, it is said that he can't play chess, but he plays very slickly.Except for the way he holds the chess pieces, he looks like a beginner, but he never hesitates when placing the chess pieces.

This chess game lasted about an hour.Except for the boy Wakisashi, everyone seemed to understand very well. In addition, Sanshin Daojian nodded from time to time, showing an expression of sudden realization, and exclaimed "Oh" and "Ah", just like an elementary school student who is listening to the class seriously.

The boy Wakisashi who wanted to find out the truth was at a loss, and spent days like years waiting for the end of this game.

The god judge abandoned his son and admitted defeat.In the case of being handed over to the third son, he didn't seem to be embarrassed at all when he lost to a novice, Yamabuki Kirihiro.Horikawa Kunihiro felt that his previous inner activities were quite superfluous - such things as careful observation, two different people, elegant interests, and things that would make Kasen Kanesada happy.

——It is doubtful whether this god judge can play chess.

When clearing the chess pieces on the chessboard, Wuhu, who had been obediently keeping quiet, couldn't sit still. He sneaked a handful of cold chess pieces. Thinking of Fujiwara Sakai's self-introduction, he asked curiously: "Master, this is from the Heian-kyo era." A chessboard?"

Du Peng lowered his head and rubbed the head of a small dagger in a very good mood. He felt more and more that his first swing of the dagger was very useful, and he had a tacit understanding with him, like an arm and a finger.He nodded and said, "Yes, this is a very expensive antique."

"Wow."

The little dagger sighed softly.He has no concept of money in human society.Ever since he woke up as Fusangshen, he hasn't been to Wanwu a few times.However, very expensive presumably means very good, right?The little boy secretly glanced in awe at Sakai Fujiwara, who had sharp eyes when he was playing chess, and was silly, white and sweet in everyday life.

The god judge noticed the cute eyes of the short knife, and added with a warm smile: "So when you clean the chess room in the future, you must be careful not to damage the chess pieces and the board. If it is broken, I will sell you I can't even afford it."

Dupont had hardly ever cracked a joke before.The little dagger was startled by Du Peng's words, his hand shook, and the chess piece fell back into the chess pot with a crisp sound.Little Short Knife panicked, anxiously looking to see if the chess piece was broken, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Master! Don't sell it and return it!"

puff--!Du Peng was amused by the little dagger who couldn't help being frightened.While covering his mouth to hide his smile, he stretched out his other hand to ruffle the little boy's hair, looked at him tenderly, and thought with satisfaction: Tui Jiang is really a good boy who is good at cooperating.

Wu Hutui also calmed down after being patted on the head to appease him.Although he was almost frightened to tears just now, but observing Dupont's tone and demeanor carefully, it is easy to see that when he said this, it was different from usual, and he was just joking.Although he was a little sad that he couldn't compare to the price of this Fujiwara Sakumi, the short knife still raised his head obediently and rubbed his head in Du Peng's hand.

Out of trust in his master, he didn't really think he'd be sold for breaking the board—he'd be careful not to break the board—and besides, didn't the master say so?Even if he really broke the chess set, selling him would not pay him enough, so why sell him?

Compared to Duho Honmaru Touken, he didn't take this threat seriously, but Horikawa Kunihiro, who was watching from the sidelines, listened to the words in his heart.He carefully observed everyone's reactions, and pretended to admire casually: "Master God Judge is really rich, and he can afford such an expensive antique."

"I was very poor at first." Du Peng said gently, "but after becoming a god judge, I got a lot of salary."

He deliberately paused, and said in a tone full of connotations: "However, there are too many things I want to buy, and the money has almost been spent. It's really nerve-wracking."

It seems like a casual complaint, but carefully discerned, it seems to be a reminder of something.After saying all this, the chessboard has been cleaned up, the judge stopped chatting, and started a new chess game with Yamabuki Kunihiro.The afternoon passed quickly with the crisp sound of chess pieces falling to the ground, and at night, Horikawa Kunihiro stayed in the Honmaru for dinner.

After dinner, Mitsutada Candekiri, a housekeeper, was busy clearing up the tableware. For the first time, Kunihiro Horikawa had the opportunity to have a few words alone with the small sword five tigers.

Because of the conversation about whether he had money in the afternoon, Horikawa Kunihiro thought of a way to quickly rescue his companions.This method is quite cruel to Yamabashi Kirihiro of this Honmaru. Suffering under Dupont.

Kunihiro Horikawa knew that his current master was a rich lady.She is very rich, and does not rely on the salary of the judge to live. She often uses her own pocket money to subsidize the operation of the pill, distributes rich pocket money to everyone, buys high-level guards for everyone, purchases resources, and participates in some government organizations of the time. activity.

It is also because of this that he is the first to obtain a rare sword like Mikami Tsukimune when he and Izumi Mori Kanesada have not collected all ordinary swords and swords in Honmaru.

Candlestick Cut Guangzhong and Wuhu Tui are not rare swords, and their value will not be too high.

——He is good at collecting information, and at the same time, because he is in charge of the housework of Honmaru, he often has the opportunity to go shopping in Wanya, so Horikawa Kunihiro knows that although the government of the time prohibits it, there are still many god-inspectors who will do it in private Here, he traded the sword he had just acquired.

Although buying and selling swords that have not been awakened, it is just an ordinary item transaction that can comfort oneself.But Wakizashi believes that this is just the vain self-consolation of the gods involved in this kind of business.In fact, there is no essential difference between buying and selling swords and buying and selling Fusangshen-the judge who believes in this Honmaru will not care about the same moral flaws as buying and selling human beings.

This is a very weak solution, but there are too many things wrong with the Honmaru in front of him, which makes Horikawa Kunihiro instinctively feel the danger.In addition, Dupont has demonstrated his extraordinary force, and the strange tameness of the Five Tigers, and the sincere warning of Candlestick Kirimiko, all of which make Wakizawa more and more inclined to ask his master, Use money to solve problems peacefully.

Horikawa Kunihiro tried, and said to Wuhu Tui, who had always shown no grievances and was very close to the god judge: "Tui, I will go back in a while. Ah--I really miss you, I hope we will still be here Live in a homimura."

Wuhu retreated with downcast eyes, and answered him: "Yes, I think so too. It would be great if Horikawa-kun is also the master's sword, and we can get together every day."

Kunihiro Horikawa felt that the Five Tigers retreated without duplicity.

He observed the dagger suspiciously.In the past half a day, he didn't find that the little short knife had any fear, fear or dodge towards his interrogator.Although I don't know why his eyes were red from crying before, but he is telling the truth now.

He really hoped to have the same Honmaru as Horikawa.But it wasn't what Wakizawa hoped, they left Dupont's Honmaru together, but Horikawa Kunihiro could also come to their Honmaru.

Since Wakizashi didn't speak, Wuhu asked again: "Why doesn't Horikawa-kun speak? Is it because you are reluctant to part with your current master? Then, do you have the kind of -- er, similar to this person for your current master? I think He is gone, and only he is my master. If I want to change another one, it’s better to break it! I don’t need anyone else to be my master anymore, this feeling.”

Because it contains rich emotions and great determination, Wuhu Tui's words are a bit confusing.

Horikawa was dumbfounded, but he couldn't fail to see that the little boy in front of him was asking him and expressing his feelings.But how is this possible? !Candlestick Qie Guangzhong's admiration for the god judge is already shocking, and the confession of the five tigers retreating is simply unreasonable to the extreme.

"How can I feel this way?" The young man was speechless for a long time, and finally tried to calm himself down, gently stroked Wu Hutui's head, and said mockingly, "I only hope to have a peaceful life now. Already very happy."

Wu Hutui blinked his clear eyes, looking thoughtfully at the black-haired boy who said this.He didn't continue to persuade, and he didn't try his best to introduce how good his judge was. Under Wakizashi's tired smile, Kodana made up his mind.

The moment of farewell came very quickly. When Horikawa Kunihiro was about to leave here and return to his home maru, even Du Peng, who was full of airs, came to the door to see him off.

After Yu Candlestick Kiri Guangzhong and Wu Hutui hugged and bid farewell, the young boy Wakizai and the God Judge faced each other and saluted the God Judge.The young human smiled, and after exchanging greetings such as "Did you have a good time today" and "Candokiri and Taiya want to play in Horikawa-kun's Honmaru very much", he solemnly said his farewell words.

"Horikawa-kun, there is one thing, I hope you can remember - I understand your thoughts very well, far better than your current god judge. Take care of yourself after you go back. Whether it is an expedition, or anything else, don't Take risks, and think of yourself as something to worry about. As for your companions, they are here with me, and I will take care of them, so you can rest assured."

When saying these words, the young and handsome judge had kind eyes and kind eyes, and his tone was gentle.But his eyes were very cold, Kunihiro Horikawa couldn't tell what was wrong, the examiner was not eccentric, but his hairs stood on end.

It’s as if this is not a human being, but a highly poisonous king cobra. It raises its head high, hisses and swallows snake letters, opens its flat neck, and will eject at high speed in the next second. Bite him and inject deadly venom into his body.

Horikawa Kunihiro felt that all this was not an illusion, he was indeed threatened.The inquisitor is saying, "I know you want to fight me, but think about your companions, they're all in my hands."

Horikawa Kunihiro's heart sank more and more.He pretended to be unmoved, and bid farewell to everyone with an ugly smile on his face.

On the way back, the black-haired boy thought about it. He felt that if he confessed to his master and then asked for help, he would undoubtedly drag his own Honmaru into trouble.Going against this poisonous snake-like human being is definitely not a good thing for his master-to be honest, it will only bring endless troubles.

He didn't want his master to become an enemy of dangerous elements like Dupont because of him.

So, after returning to Honmaru, Wakizasa, who was full of worries, chose to conceal and protect self-righteously.He couldn't wait, using the way he had thought up on the way, wrapped the cold facts with sweet sugar, and made a request to his master.

Because I miss my companions so much, I hope that I can overdraw my future pocket money, and my master will come forward to pay Dupont as a little compensation.Although this sounds like a business deal, it is actually just an unreasonable request from his incomprehensible threat—I hope that in this way, Lord Dupont’s consent can be obtained, so that the five tigers will retreat and the candlestick will cut Guangzhong into his own. Live in Honmaru and become the sword of your own master.

Emphasize that it is not a sale, but his demand, and the overdrafted pocket money is just his compensation and intention. Horikawa Kunihiro uses this kind of rhetoric to soften and persuade his kind master; while paying the reward, it should be said that the money is not enough Use, so it is very nerve-wracking for Du Peng, another interrogator.

Horikawa Kunihiro's current interrogator, the girl who named herself "Arisa" as a code name, showed a surprised expression after hearing Horikawa's request.Horikawa Kunihiro thought she was surprised at her own willfulness, but the well-bred girl spoke softly after Wakizashi boy had finished speaking.

"Ah, you really said that. It's really like what Mr. Dupont said." The girl interrogator desperately exuded understanding and kindness, and said sweetly.

"When we contacted in the afternoon, Mr. Dupont already told me about this matter. He said that Horikawa-kun is actually very lonely, and Candlestick Kiri and Tui-chan also miss their companions. As for us outsiders, no matter how hard we try, in fact I can't really understand your feelings either.

Mr. Dupont said, you must hope to be reunited and live together again.His candlestick is too worried, maybe he is embarrassed to say this request, but at night, he will definitely run to his room by himself, crying and begging him. "

Arisa didn't know that the "evening" and "self" "crying and pleading" contained in her innocent words cast a huge shadow on Horikawa Kunihiro, who was also very worried.The ignorant interrogator continued sweetly stabbing the young boy.

"Mr. Dupont said that he really wants to meet everyone's expectations. However, his Honmaru has just started to be formed, and it is really short of manpower. And he already has a deep relationship with his swords, so he is completely reluctant to give them away. Someone else. So, instead of sending the Five Tigers and Candlesticks to me...

Horikawa-kun, as you know, I already have Koto and Candekiri-san here.Your friends... Uh, no matter how hard I try, it is inevitable that I will feel uncomfortable, right?I have seriously discussed with Mr. Dupont. Instead of bringing Mr. Tui and Candlestick Kiri to me, you should go to Mr. Dupont’s Honmaru. There is a shortage of manpower there. The main reason is that you can help Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada Share the work. "

The rambling girl said the key words again unconsciously.

"Mr. Dupont said that Mr. Okinawakiri in his family is really working too hard. If you can help him, his situation will definitely be much better. Ah... Horikawa-kun, you must Don't get me wrong, I actually miss you very much. It's not that I don't like you. I really don't want to part with you. But Mr. Dupont said that in the future, we can make friends and visit each other. I can still often I contacted you.

He said that everyone has a lot of misunderstandings about him, although I don't know what kind of misunderstandings it is.However, he is really troubled by this, saying that he is not good at words, and looks too serious... But I can feel that he is a kind person with a warm heart and a good mind for others.

——He also specifically asked me to tell you, 'No matter what Horikawa-kun chooses in the end, I will be responsible for the cut and retreat of the candlestick to the end'. "

Kunihiro Horikawa couldn't agree with Arisa's words at all.He felt a chill spread from his heart to all parts of his body.So that's the case, what Du Peng said before he left really had a meaning.

"Horikawa-kun, there is one thing I hope you can remember - I understand your thoughts very well, far better than your current judge."

— This sentence was not originally saying "I know you want to fight me", or rather, it was not only saying that.This is the difference between generic and specific.

That human was saying, "I know what you have thought of." Thinking about it now, it was the reconciliation of that person in the afternoon that made him think of the current solution.He didn't know anything, thinking that he thought of another way in a flash of inspiration, but in fact, he was guided and used just like water flowing through a ditch according to Dupont's presupposition.

I know you want to fight against me; I know you want to save your companions; I know you want to use money to solve it.That human being was mocking him, and he didn't even want to break his fantasy with his own mouth, but let him know clearly through the mouth of his current master, "I won't let Candlestick cut Guangzhong and Wuhutui go, if I want to help them do something What, just share it yourself."

If Dupont himself made such a suggestion, Wakizawa would also be coerced, and the inexperienced girl god-inspector would also be persuaded, but Horikawa Kunihiro thought... If that was the case, his current natural reactions would be For example, pale complexion and stiff limbs will inevitably be noticed by their own judges.

The gentle maiden has always cared about her sword.She might be surprised and puzzled by this reaction, and then ask him if he doesn't want to, if there are other ideas.Perhaps, for the sake of his companions, Horikawa Kunihiro will still cover up his abnormality and agree with Dupont's statement, but it will inevitably make the girl suspicious and cause extra problems.

But now, when he first met with his judge, he made the request as Dupont said... No matter how unhappy he is, Arisa will only think that he is feeling guilty Bar.Because he is about to choose to give up such a gentle master in order to be with his companions.

——Because he wanted to be with his companions, he said it himself, his own thoughts.That human named Dupont is really good at this kind of beating around the bush.

What is interesting is, did the Five Tigers really side with that human being?Thinking about it carefully, it was he who started the topic of expensive chessboards, leading the conversation to antiques and buying and selling.How did he know the age of the chessboard?According to his understanding of the five tigers retreat, this little boy does not have the ability to appreciate antiques, nor is it the kind of sword that has existed for thousands of years and has experienced the Heian-kyo era.

Isn't it strange that you can accurately tell the age of the chessboard even though you acted as if you were seeing it for the first time?

Thinking from this point of view, even Candlestick Qie Guangzhong warned him not to fight against Du Peng, and he said it alone after the five tigers retreated.His current judge specifically talked about "sharing the work of Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada", but did not mention the predicament facing the five tiger retreats.

So, the five tigers retreat...has he become an accomplice of the god judge?

——No, no, that gentle and timid child is definitely not that kind of person.

Horikawa struggled to look at the girl in front of him.He likes her very much, of course not to the extent that Wu Hutui said that she must be her, but he does have a good impression of him sincerely and is willing to lay down his life for her.If there is a chance to get to know him slowly, he will also dedicate his [-]% loyalty to him one day in the future.

It's a pity that there is no such fate between them.

The girl's lips, which were as fresh as cherry blossoms, were still opening and closing, asking him for his opinion ignorantly, "What do you think, Horikawa-kun? If you can't decide for a while, you can think about it slowly for a few days..."

The black-haired Wakizawa clenched his fist on his knee, bit his lip and hesitated for a while, finally made a decision, he bent down, put his forehead on the floor, and replied respectfully and solemnly: "Although I'm sorry You, but... please let me go to Mr. Dupont's Honmaru."

Just like Candlestick Cut Mitsutada, he chose the most difficult path for himself for the sake of others.
