[Comprehensive] You see, this pot is big and round

It was already evening, and the surrounding area was still a bit muggy, and small flying insects flew around the light of the landscape lights meaninglessly.Suzuka hasn't gone back yet because she has other things to do.

Now it's time to send those monsters home.

She deliberately staggered the time of sending back humans and monsters, so as to avoid any conflicts between the two parties when they met.Seriously, she doesn't want to be a mediator between Yin and Yang.

Otakemaru and Suzuka sat in a row on the bench, waiting for Kamaitachi to bring the "victims" to them.However, the speed of the three brothers was a bit slow, and the agreed time had passed, but there was still no trace of them.

After waiting for a while, the three Kamaitachi brothers hadn't seen each other yet, but the sleepiness came unexpectedly.Suzuka couldn't resist such a powerful enemy, and accidentally fell asleep again.

Driven by drowsiness, her head swayed uncontrollably in a small way, and Otakemaru watched from the side, wondering whether she would be awakened by him.

Dangling, her head rested on Otake Maru's shoulder.

As if instantly calmed down, Suzuka's eyes that were still furrowed in his sleep were relieved immediately, and the sound of breathing also became calmer, which made one feel extremely peaceful...

Except Dayake Maru.

Dayake Maru was not peaceful at all.

The moment Suzuka's head rested on his shoulders, every muscle in his body tensed up, almost reaching a critical state.He didn't dare to move, he couldn't even breathe.The half of her body that she was leaning on was especially stiff.

His thoughts started to run in a very strange direction - he began to count the treasures of Mount Suzuka in his heart.From the gold dust, which is not as big as half a fingernail, to the copper pillars that are big enough to support the cave, he cleaned up every item.

During this period, he accidentally recalled Minamoto Yorimitsu's sculpture.

He felt that half of his body was as stiff as that statue now!

"Suzuka Suzuka! Here we come!"

The three Kamaitachi brothers ran wildly all the way, shouting happily, wishing they could throw themselves into Suzuka's arms.However, when they saw them, the three brothers suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"you two……"

The three brothers took a small step back.

"We get it."

Take another big step back.

"Don't bother you guys!"

"What are you talking about!"

Da Yuemaru was so angry that he pinched the nape of the three brothers' necks and lifted them up.Suzuka was also awakened by the movement, and rubbed her eyes.

"You're here at last. You're late."

She made a straight face on purpose, but her voice was still sleepy, and it sounded a bit lacking in majesty.

Otakemaru felt that the stiffness that fettered his body seemed to have disappeared, but why was his heart empty?

He lowered his eyes, didn't think any more, and put down the three brothers Kamaitachi.

As soon as they regained their freedom from Otakemaru, the three brothers couldn't wait to get to Suzuka's side.

"Suzuka Suzuka, have you eaten the rice balls we made?" They asked her with expectant little eyes.

"Of course." Suzuka scratched their chins and praised with a smile, "It's delicious, thank you."

The smiles on the corners of the three brothers' mouths became even more proud, and their beards curled up in proud arcs.But the pride belongs to the pride, they have not forgotten their own work.

Stretch out your little paw and point to the tree not far away, there are a few monsters gathered there, looking at Suzuka timidly, their eyes are full of expectation, but they dare not approach easily, I don’t know if it’s out of shame or fear .

Among them was an extraordinarily tall monster whose head touched the crown of the tree, but was more shy than any monster, and was so timid that he didn't even dare to look at her.

To send such a big guy back, how large should the area of ​​the shadow be?Suzuka began to think about this question.

"Come here, everyone." Suzuka waved to them.

Hiruko's eyes, now Suzuka can use them quite handily.It's just that when you use it, you will inevitably feel guilty quietly.

She recalled the death of Zhi Ziming.

Fortunately, this time she came to her senses very quickly, otherwise there might be some accidents.

Without spending too much time, Suzuka sent all these monsters back.

"Ah... so tired... finally it's over..." She slumped on the chair and said angrily, "No, no, I don't think I can go back."

After hearing this, Dayake Maru asked solemnly: "Are you planning to spend the night here?"

"That won't be the case..." She changed into a more comfortable posture, and her tone became lazy, "Let's rest for a while. I'll go home when I have the strength to walk."

"Then I'll stay with you for a while."

Saying that, Dayakemaru sat down beside her.The three Kamaitachi brothers had sneaked back without knowing when, and there were only two of them left here, but Suzuka felt at ease unexpectedly.

With Dayakemaru by her side, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about too many things - the premise is not to think about what she has done to Dayakemaru.

Once you think about those things, it will be extremely painful.So don't even think about it...

"Did you send everyone back?"

Otakemaru's words interrupted her wild thoughts.She froze for a moment, then nodded: "Almost. But I think there should be some people and monsters that Yuan-san and Kamaitachi didn't find. Well... let's talk about those people later."

Anyway, she didn't want to think about it at all right now.She is so tired.

She didn't know whether Zhi Ziming would feel such a heavy discomfort when he crossed time.Every time she swims upstream, can she feel an unprecedented strong resistance hitting her brain nerves.She seemed to be standing in an empty room with extremely low floors, and the terrible pressure made it difficult for her to breathe.In contrast, fatigue seems to be better.

Maybe Hiruko Ming won't feel any strange feeling, Suzuka speculated in his heart.

She took out a small cloth bag from her pocket, put her eyes in it carefully, and was about to tighten the mouth of the bag, but suddenly hesitated.She stared at the eyeballs in the bag, seemingly struggling for a moment, before taking out the right eye.

In fact, these two eyes are exactly the same, outsiders can't tell the difference between left and right, only Suzuka has a clear distinction in his heart.

The right eye lies in the palm of the hand, it once allowed Suzuka to see her broken memory.

A guess suddenly appeared in my heart.

"If you only use your right eye, you can actually glimpse a certain period of time in the past—the past with 'this moment' as the starting point. This should be feasible, I think..." She murmured.

It's like opening the perspective of God, it won't interfere with the normal time course, it's just watching from the perspective of a third party.

Dayakemaru thought about it, felt that what she said was very reasonable, and agreed, "It is indeed possible."

She rested her right eye on her fingertips, her hand trembled, and almost fell to the ground, but luckily she caught it quickly.

"So, if it were you, which part of the past would you like to see?"

Suzuka smiled and looked at Otake Maru.The words were calm, but her heart was beating extremely fast.For a few moments, she really didn't want to know the answer.

She probably shouldn't have asked that question.

But Dayakemaru was extraordinarily serious, rubbing his chin and began to meditate.

"Hmm..." He pondered, and slowly said his answer, "Mt. Suzuka after I disappeared? Haha, just kidding."

He smiled and waved his hands, but Suzuka took his words to heart.

Although Otakemaru was now smiling, seemingly indifferent, Suzuka did see a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Suzuka looked away, and unconsciously tightened the hand holding his right eye.

"You still care about the youkai of Mt. Suzuka, right?"

Very softly, she asked.

Dayakemaru was silent.After a long time, he nodded: "Yes..."

On this matter—on any matter, Otake Maru was unwilling to lie to her.

It is an indisputable fact that he is indeed worried about Mount Suzuka.There is nothing to hide.

"Huh... that's right."

Suzuka lowered his head, revealing an imperceptible smile.For some reason, she felt a little rejoiced.

Ogakumaru, who was sitting next to her, was still the gentle young master in memory, the great demon who would fight for everyone in Mt. Suzuka.He will not change in the future, he will always be the protector of Mount Suzuka.

So, from beginning to end, only she has changed...

She pursed her lips and hid her smile.

"Then... let's see what Suzuka-san would be like without you."

Da Yuemaru was stunned, and looked at her in disbelief.But Suzuka turned his head sideways, avoiding his gaze.

"Actually, I'm also very curious. You know, there won't be any legends that are willing to describe the future of the expelled monsters, let alone something about the clansmen of monsters that no one would care about..."

After all, only the victors are entitled to write history.And the winners are always unwilling to spend more ink for the losers.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about it." Dayuemaru laughed dryly, "I know they are all dead."

When he was brought here by being involved in the turbulence of time and space, he had already glimpsed such an ending.So before, he just said it casually.

He did care about Mount Suzuka, but he also knew that caring was useless.

"No. The ending of the death of all members occurred when you were killed by me...by Sakaue Tamura Maro." Suzuka said methodically, "But the current situation is that you are here. This means that , From the time period when your supernatural powers were cheated away, you disappeared from Mount Suzuka. If you continue to maintain this state, then the ending must be different."

This is something Dayakemaru didn't consider - what kind of variables his disappearance will bring to Suzuka-san.

"So, do you want to see, that Mt. Suzuka after you disappeared?"
