Night Rabbit Inquisitor

"This mission wiped out a total of about [-] Zhen's retrograde troops, and eliminated the new Lord of Wandering. With the assistance of the artifact Yunwaijing and the two superpower organizations in Yokohama, only negligible damage was caused. of buildings lost, with almost no unrelated casualties..."

Foxnosuke shook his tail: "Congratulations, my lord, after the judgment of the Government of Time, you have completed this task flawlessly, and now you have been officially promoted to become an S-rank god judge!"

It has been a whole day and night since "Nothing" was eliminated.

Because the battlefield has shifted to the mirror world, apart from organizations such as the port mafia and armed detective agencies, the citizens living in Yokohama know almost nothing about the disaster that nearly destroyed the city.

The entire city has regained the peace it had before the Mutant Retrograde Army.

If there is something wrong, it is probably that several supernatural organizations affiliated to Yokohama are more or less aware of the existence of the government of time.

Of course, the superiors of Shizheng did not punish the god judges responsible for this task, but praised them for their decisiveness in completing the mission, and especially praised Shenyao's Honmaru, praising her as the new god judge with the fastest progress.

His own child was praised, and Foxnosuke inexplicably felt a sense of relief that my family had grown up as a young girl. He held his head high and said goodbye to Mr. Jiang Hua who was still reporting the details of the mission at the current affairs headquarters, and returned to Yokohama.

That's right, Yokohama.

It is probably related to the fact that Shenyao was injected with a large amount of blood by the new Lord of An'an. After Jianghua executed "Wu", the exhausted Shenyao lost consciousness at the scene, and she was rushed back to the hospital in Yokohama for emergency treatment.

Thinking about it carefully, the Shizheng headquarters does not seem to have a very advanced medical system, so the Shizheng side simply acquiesced that Shenyao was hospitalized in Yokohama.

According to the memories of an unknown bandage wasting device, at that time, the hat stand and the silly hairy monster almost fought over who should send their sister to the hospital, but Liu Zhen Dao Zi Jing took the lead.

Fortunately, the blood of "Wu" didn't seem to cause any serious damage to Shen Yao's body, and she quickly regained consciousness.

Honosuke, who came all the way from Shizheng, finished reading the words sent by the Shizheng headquarters, but did not get any response from Shenyao. He tilted his head and called out tentatively: "My lord?"

Is it because of physical discomfort?

"S-level god judge..." A white arm hung down from the hospital bed, and it patted on Fox's head and rubbed it. The girl's voice sounded lazy when she just woke up: "Listen!" It looks so troublesome to go up..."

Dingchun, who was lying in the corner of the ward, yawned, scratched his chin with his back foot, turned over and continued to sleep.

Fox's help: "...?"

No, where did the animal hero who used to upgrade Honmaru 365 days a year go?It's hard to reach the goal now, don't you give me some excited reaction?

What is going on with this unmotivated BGM that belongs to the Gintama studio?What's the matter with the lord's salty fish voice?

"You don't have to worry too much about the promotion of the god judge, because I have seen my mother now..." Shenyao smothered herself back under the quilt again: "I'm so tired... This is the burnout period after the war, I don't want to do anything at all. The mission is over, Wan An Ding Chun No. [-]..."

Foxnosuke: ...became decadent! !The former political star and model worker has now lost his motivation and has become completely decadent! !

The dumbfounded Foxnosuke heard the master's even breathing from under the quilt.

She seemed to be asleep again.

... Well, forget it.

Foxnosuke stuffed the document back into the pocket hanging around his neck, glanced at Kagura who was snoring lying on the lord's accompanying hospital bed, and sighed helplessly.

This task is indeed a big test for the lord and others, so let everyone rest quietly for a few more days.

The only thing that's not quite right is... the group of knives in Honmaru seem to be in a bad mood because they missed this arduous task in this world.

But speaking of Honmaru...

Foxnosuke raised his paw and covered his face.

Regarding the [that event] that happened in Honmaru, how should they explain it to the lord?

—

During the day when Shen Yao was hospitalized, many people came to visit her one after another.

When she woke up yesterday afternoon, sister Reiko and Mr. Seimei checked her body condition.

The blood belonging to "Wu" did not cause rejection or awaken her night rabbit instinct. On the contrary, it has a very good compatibility with Shenyao's body, and it has no side effects except that it will make her sleepy in the near future.

The Swordsmen breathed a sigh of relief, and thankfully sent off the Mr. Onmyoji from Heianjing.

In addition to the special visits from colleagues from the Time Government, personnel from the Port Mafia, and even the "Armed Detective Agency", which Shenyao has never met, also sent representatives to the hospital to visit.

"Sorry to bother you! We're here to visit you!"

As soon as Foxunosuke left, Shenyao was awakened by a polite knock on the door. She rubbed her eyes in confusion, and looked up at the door of the ward.

"It's really hard work for you!"

Wearing a straw hat and dressed in a rather simple manner, he claimed to be from an armed detective agency. He looked like a blond youth who had just finished herding cattle in the countryside. As soon as he opened the door, he rushed forward to hold her hand excitedly. She looked at her with tears in her eyes and moved: "Are you the hero who protects our world?"

Shen Yao was a little confused by this enthusiastic young man, and repeated his words in a murmur: "... a hero?"

"That's right!" Miyazawa Kenji nodded his head, "I've heard from Mr. Dazai that you have always been the one who guarded our city from being invaded by those monsters. You have really worked hard all these years!"

Shen Yao's brain was running fast, and he finally understood that the monster he was talking about referred to the retrograde army.

Is this... thanking her for fighting the retrograde army every day?

...In this way, regarding the news about the retrograde army and her, it seems that the time government has no intention of continuing to hide the information from the several Yokohama organizations participating in this mission.

She looked at the young man in front of her who was sincerely thanking her, and her expression became a little embarrassed: "Well, don't be so polite... This is what I should do."

"That, that, can you sign it for me?" Kenji Miyazawa asked with staring eyes.

"...No, you don't need to use honorifics to address me." Shen Yao began to wipe away his sweat because of this overly enthusiastic attitude, and smiled shyly: "Of course you can sign it..."

"Wow! Thank you!"

"Shh, Kenji, this lady still needs to rest, so don't stay here to disturb her." Kunikida Doppo reminded: "And the president has said it before, don't reveal anything about her to outsiders." identity."

"Yeah, yum, yum! I understand!" Kenji Miyazawa put on a gesture of closing his mouth with a zipper, expressing that he would keep his mouth shut.

"Then, Miss God." Kunikida Doppo placed the visit gift on the side of the table, and nodded lightly: "This is a small gesture from the Armed Detective Agency, in order to thank you for protecting the history of our world all the time."

This is the first time that Shenyao has been thanked by others in a real sense as a "spirit judge who maintains history".

I'm actually quite happy.

She blushed and bowed deeply: "You don't need to be so polite, I should thank your company for helping to clean up the enemies that night..."

"Ah, next time, if Ms. Shen has a commission or needs to find some information, you can come directly to the detective agency to look for us." Kunikida Doppo nodded and said: "Please cultivate well here, we will go back to work first. "

"Goodbye! Miss Hero! Next time, sign for me!"

The two gentlemen visiting on behalf of the detective agency left and gently closed the door behind her.

Shen Yao, who wanted to avoid the mission for a few more days, felt more and more guilty.

Looking back, she saw that her younger sister was still sleeping soundly on the hospital bed accompanied by her.

Mom went to the current affairs headquarters yesterday to replace her new body and report on the mission, so she probably won't be back today.

Qingguang and the others went back to Honmaru last night. I don't know why they haven't come to this world yet. Maybe it's because they are too tired to rest.

As for a certain bastard brother...

Shen Yao slowly supported her body from the hospital bed, leaned on the back of the bed and sighed.

Since she woke up yesterday, she has never seen the figure of the bastard Kamui again.

According to Kagura, the bastard seems to have returned to Edo.

Why don't you stay with your mother but hurry back to Edo?

Shen Yao raised her head and fell into reverie, feeling that she didn't quite understand the brain circuit of the second disease.

As a result, as soon as she raised her head, her eyes met with a pale head standing upside down on the ceiling, and she was almost frightened by Shen Yao to bid farewell to this beautiful world on the spot.

"Hey!!!"

Shen Yao screamed, picked up the pillow and threw it at the head, with a plop, a huge crane fell down.

"Crane. Maru. Country. Yong—" After seeing who was coming, Shen Yao gritted his teeth, sharpened his knife, and felt his fists start to itch: "Do you think I have not returned to Honmaru recently, so I started to drift?"

"Hiss, pain, pain—" Tsurumaru rubbed his buttocks and got up from the floor, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I am innocent, my lord, I just want to see your current physical condition!"

Because Tsurumaru's small eyes were very sincere, Kamito's angry expression was slightly restrained: "...Really?"

"Really, really." Tsurumaru brought out a box of peony cakes full of peony cakes behind him, and said sincerely: "Master, you must be hungry? I brought a condolence item, why don't you come and taste it?"

Shenyao smiled in relief, reached out and took out a piece of peony cake, and stuffed it into Hewan's mouth as quickly as lightning: "Do you think I forged you on the first day? That's too naive Pipihe ! This trick won't work!"

Unexpectedly, this time, the crane pill was not screamed by the hot pepper or mustard hidden in the food, and obediently chewed the peony cake in its mouth like a little hamster, and then swallowed it back.

……Eh?

Shen Yao looked at the well-behaved Tsurumaru with a puzzled expression on his face, and thought to himself, did he really blame him this time?

She looked Tsurumaru up and down: "...Tsurumaru, you behaved so obediently today for no reason, did you do something bad?"

Tsurumaru sat down cross-legged, with sincere eyes: "My lord, everyone in Honmaru knows the news that the lord's task is difficult this time, and they are very worried about your comfort."

"...It really made everyone worry again." Shen Yao lowered her eyes and sighed, then raised her head abruptly: "So, did you do something bad again?"

"My lord, you have finally promoted Honmaru to S rank. Mr. Odasaku who is doing missions outside is praising you for doing a great job. We are also preparing for the celebration banquet." Tsurumaru rubbed his little hands.

"Teacher, he praised me..." Shenyao smiled happily, then raised her head suddenly, and shot Tsurumaru with sharp eyes: "So, what bad thing did you do? Tell me, I promise not to hit you." you."

After more than a year, it was the first time for her to see Tsurumaru Kuninaga who behaved so well in front of her.

Reminiscing about the evasive words of Hasebe and Candlestick Kiri last night when they came to visit her, it is almost certain and absolutely certain that something happened to Honmaru.

She could almost imagine that a group of sword men in Honmaru pushed Tsurumaru, who seemed to have made some irreparable big mistake, into the present world: Tsurumaru, if you go to ask the lord to apologize now, maybe you can save half of your life, otherwise wait for the lord After recovering from the injury and returning to Honmaru, you will probably be beaten to death on the spot, and you will never die again.

Tsurumaru drooped his head: "That...about the little black room where I was locked up..."

Shenyao nodded.

"I dug a tunnel from my bedroom to get there..."

It's just being authentic, compared to what Tsurumaru has done before, it's barely within her acceptable range.

"Then I don't know why, because of the authenticity of Honmaru, the building collapsed a little bit."

Tsurumaru stretched out his right hand in a black silk glove, put his index finger together and put his thumb together, and gave her a gesture that symbolized a little bit.

Shenyao saw the universe from these billions of dots.

The corners of Shenyao's eyes twitched: "Where did the main pill collapse? Is it a small black house? Or is your bedroom collapsed?"

Tsurumaru shook his head.

Shen Yao took a breath: "Could it be that they all collapsed?"

Tsurumaru nodded, then shook his head again.

Shenyao felt heartbroken: "...Then please explain to me that it has been cleared up. Apart from the small black room and the dormitory, what other places have collapsed?"

"Um... when I was going through the tunnel, I passed the Shuaishi for a while."

"So the hand room also collapsed?" Shen Yao raised his forehead and said, "How deep did you dig the tunnel for such a big kendo hall?"

Tsurumaru drooped his head pitifully and didn't speak.

"Forget it." Shen Yao pinched the center of her brows: "It's good that your hands didn't collapse when you entered the room, and you can still go in and lie down later."

Tsurumaru: "...?"

Seeing Tsurumaru's hesitant to speak, Shenyou twitched his eyes: "Is there any more?"

"And what... Dahiroma also..."

"What?!" Kamyo slapped the table with a slap, startling Tsurumaru and Kagura who was sleeping, her complexion turned black, and she was on the verge of having a seizure: "Tsurumaru, do you know everyone How long did it take to dig through the dungeon, and let Shizheng allocate a magnificent Daguang room for free?"

Tsurumaru meowed softly: "But my lord, with a shovel alone, you left Hakata and the first-stage hall behind, and dug from the first floor of Osaka Castle to the hundredth floor in less than half an hour."

Shen Yao: "..." That's exactly what he said.

But she still looked angry, with the momentum in place, and slammed the table again, and shouted: "How dare you talk back!"

Tsurumaru lowered his head even lower.

"Oh... just forget it this time." Shen Yao sighed, and put the box of peony cakes on the table: "After this harsh task, I also understand that no matter what happens, everyone It's more important than anything else to be safe by my side."

This is what it means to forgive Tsurumaru.

Tsurumaru came back to life with full blood, raised his head with a swipe, and looked at Shenyao with his pickup truck's big eyes that were shining with tears, and tears filled his eyes with excitement: "My lord! My lord is the best lord in the world!"

Shen Yao shook her head and sighed again, put on the expression of a kind old mother, and gently patted Sha He's head.

Tsurumaru couldn't help touching his nose, and said everything in his heart: "Then my lord, Honmaru's kitchen also collapsed together, you will definitely not care about me, right?"

Divine Ballad: "..."

……

"My lord, I was wrong!!" Tsurumaru, who was chased out, grabbed a "passer-by" and hid behind him like an ostrich: "I was really wrong, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I was really wrong!"

"I made a mistake this time, don't you dare to do it next time?" Shenyao's gentle and reasonable demeanor disappeared completely, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Tsurumaru, holding a broom ready to go, and even selectively ignored Tsurumaru's take. Someone who came as a shield.

"Shenyao... calm down a little bit." Nakahara Nakaya, who didn't know the situation, was a little confused when he saw the trembling and pitiful Tsurumaru behind him: "What did he do? It made you so angry?"

Shen Yao smiled: "It's not too important. For example, it's like returning from a business trip and finding that the house has been dug up by him."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Zhong also couldn't help recalling the tragic experience when he came back from a business trip and found that his car was blown up by the bastard Dazai.

After empathizing with him, he turned sideways in an instant, let out the shivering Tsurumaru who was hiding behind him, and made a "please" gesture to Shenyao: "Hit whatever you want."

In the early morning of that day, Tsurumaru's cries resounded throughout Yokohama.

According to the memories of a well-informed employee of a port trading company, the orange-haired blue-eyed girl in a hospital gown was carrying a broom and chasing a silver-haired young man in a yukata who was eight feet tall and looked like a nobleman in Kyoto, and beat him through the entire hospital. .

—

Shenyao felt refreshed after beating the crane, her waist was no longer sore, her head was no longer hurting, and her whole body was full of strength again.

Zhong also saw that the bandage on her neck hadn't been removed, so he raised his hand and patted the little girl's head lightly, and said gently: "The injury hasn't fully healed yet, why don't you go back and rest?"

It was only then that Shenyao suddenly realized that the whole process of her forgetting to educate Tsurumaru just now was probably seen by the other party.

Shen Yao didn't put the broom in her hand, and steam seemed to be coming out of her head. She looked at Brother Ye, blushed and lowered her head, humming lightly.

It was the first time for Tsurumaru, who had escaped, to see the lord so shy, and his expression was a little dazed.

—

"Um... Yokohama, how are you doing now?"

Walking beside Chuya, Shenyao asked in a low voice.

"Ah, don't worry, thanks to your Shikigami that day, the city and the citizens are fine, and they didn't even realize what happened that day." Nakahara Chu also lowered the brim of his hat and narrated the facts.

The day before was a catastrophe for the entire city, and the day after that could return to a peaceful daily life.

"...Is that so." Shen Yao patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really great."

In the hospital in the early morning, the corridors were empty.

Zhong Yuanzhong also noticed that Shenyao's walking speed was a bit slow to keep up with him, so he deliberately slowed down.

"Shen Yao, about those things..."

"Eh?"

"About, you are maintaining the history of this world..." Zhong Yuanzhong also coughed lightly: "Is it true?"

The words that ordinary people seem to be ashamed and secondary, actually came out of Brother Zhongye's mouth in a very serious manner.

"Well, it's true." Shenyao counted carefully with his fingers, and replied seriously: "It has been about one year and one hundred days since the first day I took over this timeline."

"Then... your daily routine of protecting the history of the world means fighting against those things from the night before yesterday?"

The things that Chuya said were of course referring to the retrograde army.

Of course Shenyao nodded: "Yes?"

Brother Zhongye sighed suddenly, and before Shenyao realized why he was sighing, he reached out and touched her head, and said softly, "...Thank you for your hard work."

Shenyao: ...Actually, it is not hard to be a God interrogator. Under normal circumstances, she is the only one who takes the role of retrograde army.

It should be the retrograde army who should be shouting hard.

Moreover, the killing of so many retrograde troops this time must have severely dampened their spirits, and they will definitely not dare to come to this timeline to make troubles for a while.

"There are so many things on such a small shoulder." Zhong Yuan also sighed again.

Shenyao: ... I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always feels that Brother Zhongye seems to have misunderstood something again and again.

They returned to the ward in a strange atmosphere, just in time to see Kagura waking up sitting on Kagami's bed, holding the box and pouring peony cakes into it with his mouth wide open.

Then, she cried.

The mustard that was randomly hidden in the peony cake was crying.

"Who gave it to you!!" Kagura, who was swollen into a sausage mouth, squeezed the gift box flat: "I beat him!!"

Shen Yao and Zhong Ye looked at each other, then Shen Yao stepped forward, handed over the broom in his hand, and raised his finger to the door.

—

That night, after "Wu" was eliminated, Kamui chose to return to the world on the Edo side first.

Jiang Hua didn't ask him why, but just smiled and helped Shenwei make an appointment for the space-time transmitter.

"Probably because I was afraid of worrying my friends, so I hurried back and explained." Jiang Hua said.

"Mommy, if the idiot brother is really so sensible and considers his friends, sows will climb the tree, Alu, and will he really have friends?"

Jiang Hua touched Kagura's head, quietly watching the back of his eldest son, and lowered his eyes.

What a silly boy...

He didn't even have the courage to talk to her properly.

The time transmitter sent Kamui straight back to Edo, where the Seventh Division of Spring Rain under his jurisdiction is now located.

He saw Afutu leading a group of familiar group members, and a group of night rabbits gathered on the edge of the cliff, as if engaging in some improper group activities.

They didn't stay near the space station and wait for him...

Kamui felt a little frustrated in his heart.

But when he took a closer look, he found that those usually unsmiling and thick-skinned subordinates of the Yetu clan were surrounding a brand-new tombstone by the cliff and offering flowers to it.

While presenting flowers in an orderly manner, they were still silently wiping away their tears.

Taking a closer look, he found that the tombstone had a black and white photo of his smiling face printed on it, and there were twelve big characters engraved on it [Die for the family, the voice is still there, and the smile will last forever. 】

Kamui: "..."

Afutu put a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone, and sighed: "Commander, we went to the space station and searched for a day and a night, but still couldn't find you. You must have gone to another world now, right? Be good over there, don't think about how to fight with the strong all day long..."

Team member A's tears came down: "Team leader, I shouldn't have ridiculed you behind your back and you are only 1.7 meters tall and you are stunted. In my heart, you will always be the tallest and stalwart pure man of the entire Yetu clan! A strong man!"

Team member B sniffed: "Team leader, I was wrong, I shouldn't have used the profile picture of the Mediterranean Sea that I gave you as the group profile picture in the group, and I shouldn't have compiled the quotations you usually speak in the second grade into a book for everyone to circulate. Yes, you shouldn’t have named that brochure Night Rabbit Burial Love Family Blackening Quotations, your spirit in heaven will forgive us, right?”

Hearing this, Shenwei took up the umbrella and fell, using the land in front of him as the dividing line, cut off half of the cliff neatly, and fell into the sea together with a group of night rabbits on it, his eyes were cold, Hehe smiled:

"I will never forgive you, you'd better die."
