Neither Mikazuki nor Tsurumaru showed up in time for the evening banquet.

After the banquet started for a long time, Tsurumaru stood furtively in the distance and looked over here, with a tangled expression of "I really want to join but hesitate", finally unable to resist the lively atmosphere, slipped to The judge sat down next to him, kept sneaking glances but never kept eye contact and drank silently.

Sanriyue came late after most of the people were overwhelmed with alcohol and resigned. She clinked a glass with the judge with a calm face and drank slowly by herself, but she didn't speak, and didn't even say the usual "hahaha" .

The judge looked at the two of them amusedly, and didn't expose the discomfort. Even if the memory was restored, the young body would still affect the mind, and they made some childish actions. Now they should have reacted.

Didn't he escape a lot himself?So just give these kids some time to cool off.

After asking Shikigami to continue to drink for the people present, the judge continued to patiently appease the Fusangshin who expressed their dissatisfaction with not being able to participate in special missions in various ways. Izumi Shou was the most straightforward one, even if he told him the mission He also refused to leave the place, and clamored to know the specific reason why he was not suitable. In the end, Horikawa had no choice but to explain Yoshihara's nature to him in a low voice before giving up.

Uchidao with a flushed face thought he was moving towards the edge of the crowd unobtrusively, but the tails behind him did not allow him to leave the field in a low-key way. I don’t know why Yamabugiri watched Izumi Mori Kanesada very closely today, almost crowding Horikawa At the back, the eyes were not worried, but a little nervous.

——I'm back, what else is there to be nervous about?

Jing Mo was a little puzzled, but now is not a good time to ask, so he can only put this on the list to be dealt with before leaving.

Dagurigaro drank not too little today. Although the alcohol was mild, it made his head a little dizzy when mixed with the intoxicating heat in the room. He wanted to go outside to sober up, but he had to say hello to the judge. Some hesitation.

The place around the god judge is always the busiest place. Even though it was already late and the most noisy daggers were taken back to sleep, there were still many people around him, and waves of laughter came over him.

——What is the meaning of having too many people?

Despite thinking so, Da Dao disapprovingly stood up and walked over there, making eye contact with the judge through the crowd, then drank the wine in the glass in one go and planned to leave.

dizzy...

Da Dao blinked, and the paper shikigami on one side immediately floated over to act as a solid wall. He leaned on the shikigami to wake up, and saw a familiar head in sight, the golden tassel on the head moved slightly with the airflow .

... Why didn't Sanriyue go back to sleep?

While thinking about it, he walked over and stroked the familiar head. He only felt that his palm was full, but his hair still felt extremely smooth and soft.

Bowing his head slightly, he looked at the surprised Crescent Eyes, he hesitated for a moment before he took out the last candy from his body and handed it over.

It seems that I have decided not to put sugar on my body today, but I can't remember the reason, so I just give it all away.

Then he went to the courtyard with a straight waist and a slightly offset walk, and the paper shikigami followed him all the time.

"This is really..."

Five Swords Under Heaven looked at the candy in his hand, sighed and peeled off the candy wrapper.

"He has doted on you from the very beginning," Xiaohumaru said with a glance, "This is the first time I have seen the original form, so cherish this time."

"The original form..." Sankaiyue let the sweet taste spread from her mouth all the way down, and said with narrowed eyes, "It's too much, Your Highness Kohomaru, you said that I look like a monster that confuses people's hearts."

...You mean a fox.

Xiaohumaru flashed unceremoniously, making Taidao who habitually wanted to lean on his back empty, and then stroked his hair lovingly: "It's fine if you are not awkward and cute, but don't rely on it now." Come and mess with my hair, and I'm going to have a drink with the master."

"It's so ruthless." San Riyue passed the vermilion wine cup in her hand to touch him, raised it to her lips but didn't drink it, "Obviously I was the one who was confused by people's hearts at first."

"So did your answer change?"

Taidao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, raised his glass and drank it all.

Since the question is no longer a question, what does it matter if there is an answer?

But young children's minds are really straightforward, and the thoughts that even they can't analyze clearly are as clear as drawn on white paper at that time, without being disturbed by complicated things, the young self seems to be able to see the mirror deep in his heart , it is easy to know what you want.

So, as my lord, have you found the answer to what you want to know in your heart?

The banquet ended after midnight, and Jingmo asked Shikigami to send Dragonfly Kiri back to the room—he was the sleeper of the day, so he stayed until the end. The honest boss did not urge the host, but just accompanied the trial with a glass of glass. The gods drink together until they can no longer hold the cup.

The movement of the wine glass missing woke up the contemplative examiner, and then found that Tobokiri's eyes were straightened and his expression was dazed. Although this wine would not cause headaches and discomfort the next day, drinking too much is still not good. He Sighing and expressing to the drunken Shikigami that he must go back to rest soon, he sent away the three guns who couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south but still insisted on their posts.

After feeling that Fu Sangshen was no longer drunk outside, Jing Mo waved off the lights and sat alone under the moonlight drinking the golden wine.

In addition to wanting to analyze the principle faster, there is another reason for him to take the Young Zishi, which is to see his heart.

This is a new use discovered from Sanriyue, and it just so happens that he also has unresolved matters, so why not try it, what choice will he make when he is a child who doesn't have too many worries and can only follow his instincts?

The answer is not surprising.

Although he has no memory, he quickly accepted the fusangshen, caring about their mood, worrying about their state, exploring their worries, allowing them to enter his life step by step, and giving the final promise.

In the belt of the god judge was a letter left by him when he was young. The sharp and sharp font did not match his harmless appearance, but many words were scratched out on it, which could show his hesitation when writing the letter.

This kind of thing would happen to him too, which made Jing Mo a little surprised, but facing this letter, he savored it back and forth for a long time, and still put it on his body solemnly.

His time is different from theirs, and the trajectories are only temporarily overlapped. When the war here is over, the two sides should say goodbye as usual, and go to the next journey with memories and gains, but he hesitated.

The trust placed by the other party is like their own bodies, showing themselves cleanly, harshly, and unreservedly. People have to be cautious about this weight, but they want to show them the myriad of colors in the world from the bottom of their hearts. Looking forward to the infinite possibilities of the future, this short period of time that can only occupy an insignificant position in his total consciousness, but he can't help but think about it slowly, and feel joy in breaking through the obstacles for every small progress of these children, and look forward to it even more future.

Time has meaning because of them, making the distinction between the past, the present and the future, and it is no longer the usual mechanical beating numbers in the past.

This is a mood I have never had before. It reminds Jingmo of the rare and endangered plants that I have seen somewhere. Its seeds grow on the roots and sleep peacefully in the land under the glacier. Only when the glacier collides Cracks, and only sprout when the sun shines directly on you.

He waited there for a long time before he finally witnessed it. How miraculous, it may take countless long hours to conceive a seed, but it only takes a short moment to break through the ground and bloom a flower.

Maybe the gorgeous thing that I have been pursuing and attracted deeply has quietly appeared, and just got the right sunshine, and it will bloom soon.

Winter nights are always very long, empty wine jars are piled up all over the floor, but the outside is still reassuringly dark, the judge smiled and put the wine cups on the table, got up and left the room where he had been in for too long.

Let the trajectories that should have crossed each other merge into one and continue to go down.

Edo Castle.

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the Ming Dynasty fire did not happen as scheduled." Hasebe, who had returned from collecting information, was sitting on the tatami of the hotel. There were funerals for civilian girls who died of illness."

"That's all right," the judge nodded and looked at the other team. "And what about Yoshihara's weird face?"

"There is a ghost crying," the smiling Qingjiang replied, leaning against the shadows by the window, "Recently there have been rumors of a female ghost's revenge in Yoshihara, and at night there is the sound of a woman crying faintly, two of them are already dead, go there customers, business will be greatly affected.”

"Mr. Smile looks very excited," Candlestick Chee said with a smile, "Is it because you feel nostalgic?"

"At this time, I'm staying in Marugame Castle," Owaki Shake shook his head, "Yoshiwara itself is a man's dream place. I've been curious about it for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to visit before."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Candlestick smiled and skipped this topic.

"Who is the dead person?" Sanriyue asked.

"One is not sure, but the other is a famous person," Owaki Tsubasa answered with the corners of his lips curled up. "Yoshio Kira, one of the future parties involved in the Ako incident."

"This is another change in history," Hasebe said with a frown. "Although it's not like the handwriting of the retrograde army, it should be included as a suspicious point. Is there any other information?"

"Although I don't know if there is any relationship, but it is said that before the two of them died, they both wanted to redeem the husband of Yoshihara Chu." The smiling Qingjiang smiled meaningfully, "It's a big deal."

"Is it like the Yida family?" Candlestick gave a wry smile, "The anecdote of using a gold nugget equal to his body's weight to redeem the Taifu's body is more famous than mine."

"I heard that it took 75 kilograms of gold to redeem it successfully. Is it because I don't know the weight of the person I really like, or I like it so much that I turn a blind eye." Tsurumaru lay on his side on the tatami, "But Xiaoguang, don't care, your Is it time for Tokugawa's house?"

Candlestick sighed, if he stayed in Date's house, would the master know his weight?

"Then get ready, we'll visit Yoshihara at night."

The judge smiled and listened to them joking with each other, and after arranging the itinerary for the evening, he reminded them: "Yoshihara is not allowed to bring knives in, and you can give me your sabers."

Owaki Tsubasa stopped touching his eyes, and cast his eyes quietly.

"...I promise I won't lose it to you again." The judge said apologetically, "Trust me, okay?"

It was the second day after they left Honmaru, and the bustling Edo Castle was just around the corner after passing through the Time Converter.

After confirming that the time and place were consistent with those mentioned in the task, the god judges took them into the city to find a hotel to reserve a room first. Due to the implementation of the system of visiting and confessing, there are always strange samurai in Edo city. Not too conspicuous.

Smiling Qingjiang and Yaki Hasebe were in charge of going out to inquire about information, while the other four Taidao were sorting out the differences between history and known reality in the hotel, and did a simple intelligence collection just now.

The Great Fire in the Ming Dynasty did not happen, and Edo Castle basically maintained its original appearance until 1688 when the shogunate ordered Tang Nu and Nightingale to be sent to Yoshihara. In the fifth year since the establishment of Shin Yoshihara, strange things have happened frequently in recent days, and an important historical figure died prematurely. This is the valid information they have obtained so far.

"It feels a little strange," Tsurumaru Kuninaga sat up and said curiously with one hand propped on his chin, "If this is the history that was changed by the retrograde army like Bunku Tosaban, and there is no big change on the street, if it is just an ordinary battlefield If so, why don’t we go back to the time when the Mingli fire happened?”

"In the abandoned world, there are time-traveling soldiers everywhere on the streets. They can appear openly, and they have never seen any violations." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said while recalling the last time he went to battle, "These two places It should be different."

"There is no trace of the marching army in the city," Qingjiang said lazily with a smile on his face. He was still very confident in his investigation, "It seems to be very peaceful."

"There should be other Honmaru missions at the Mingli fire," Jingmo replied, "This time the god judges are allowed to accompany, which proves that the possibility of combat is not high. The current affairs should still be in the investigation stage, and such missions will gradually increase in the future. , you must master the method of dealing with history.”

He smiled and smoothed the dejected little Humaru's hair, and the other party groaned unhappily and leaned on his shoulder, still not recovering from his embarrassing mood.

After settling in the place to stay yesterday, the big fox happily went to the room of the judge to play as soon as he put his luggage away. He has never seen the scenery of the Edo period, and he is very curious about everything, not only wanting to know What's in the hawker boxes of Muro and Karinto, even the water tanks on the street and the quail cages hanging in front of the door want to ask what they are used for.

Although it is completely turning the mission into a feeling of hiking and picnics, the judge thinks that such foxes are very cute, so he took them to the street to feel them while other knives were working hard to climb the roof and listen to the corners. Some Edo style.

In view of the special climate in Edo, when Hasebe and the others came back, a group of people were disheartened and had to take a bath.

However, only hot water can be provided in the hotel. The proprietress said that there is a high-end soup house [-] steps away from the gate. Guests can go there, and the business will be closed after it gets dark.

The judge showed a little bit of embarrassment, and Hasebe looked at him inexplicably. In fact, their requirements for bathing are not very high. Of course, it is good to have hot springs. If not, clean mountain springs are also fine, but the master still uses hot water. .

Xiaohumaru was very curious. The proprietress described the soup house very interestingly, saying that she could experience "fun that cannot be experienced in the mansion". Bright eyes looked at Jing Mo expectantly.

Only Sanriyue smiled after thinking for a while, but didn't make a sound.

In the end, the inquisitor went to the soup house, paid out his wallet for a month's business, and asked the boss to clean it up again after the guests left, wash it with boiling water and change all the water, and no longer receive other guests for a month. When you come to use it, you will say hello in advance, and then refill the water.

Of course, the price is also very good, enough for their family to go out of business for a year or two.

The owner of the soup house smiled when he saw Jin Zi, and he didn't care about the trouble of cleaning, and immediately started to drive people out, ensuring that there were people waiting for orders at any time throughout the day.

The god judge walked around the soup house uncomfortably, and returned to the hotel after confirming that there was no unclean place inside, and informed the Fu Sangshen that they could go to take a bath.

This group of treasured knives who will only be enshrined in the treasure house of famous masters is the first time to enter the soup house in the market. Everything is fresh, and new wooden barrels are prepared for them at the scrubbing place. chaff bags, and some weird ointments.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the torii-shaped door at the entrance of the bath. The low door frame requires the swordsmen to bend their waists and bow their heads carefully to pass through, which aroused their discussion.

"Little Fox Maru, are you okay?"

"Why do you have to make such a low door frame? It's very hard to pass through."

"This is to prevent the hot air in the bathroom from escaping," the interrogator replied, "There is no light inside, it is very dark, so be careful."

After washing their bodies with a few buckets of water, the Fu Sangshen excitedly got into the bath pool they had never seen before, and were startled by the darkness inside.

Except for the faint light penetrating through the entrance, the rest of the place can be said to be invisible. Coupled with the misty steam and steam, it is even worse than the Iked House in the night battle.

Then they found that the bath was very big, it seemed to be wider than the hot spring in Honmaru, and Tsurumaru immediately tried to swim in it to touch the boundary.

Xiaohumaru was staying at the entrance with Sankaiyue, but he didn't know when Sankaiyue disappeared. He reached out and groped, but couldn't find any trace of his companion. Because he didn't like the dark very much, he thought about it and stayed in the distance. It is not far from the entrance, so it is more convenient to guard.

...though I can't see anything.

The strange Edo Castle, the fire that was supposed to happen, the change in Yoshihara...

Did the Great Fire in the Ming Dynasty have a nickname called "The Great Fire of Zhenxiu"?During the funeral at Honmyoji Temple, a sleeve of Furisode was blown onto the roof with flames, burning most of Edo Castle...

Just when the big fox was thinking about this mission, there was suddenly the sound of water beside him, and he asked vigilantly, "Who?"

The slow movement doesn't look like an enemy. He was so absorbed in thinking about the problem just now that he didn't see the movement at the entrance.

"Do you need my help?"

The person who answered was an unfamiliar female voice, could it be the maid here?

Xiaohuwan breathed a sigh of relief: "No need, you go out."

What can a shower do to help.

What caught him off guard was that the other party recognized his position after hearing the voice, and then rushed forward with the sound of water, the big fox instinctively dodged, and passed by something slippery in the dark, and then the woman Turning around, I felt his shoulder leaning over like a boneless one.

"Don't be so unkind..."

Her voice was very strange, as if she deliberately suppressed her voice, and the end of her words was slightly picked up.

Of course, the big fox found out later that that was their professional tone, but now he just instinctively pushed away the other party, but he didn't dare to do anything to ordinary people in history.

What should I do if I invite a non-violator?

"It hurts! Do you like this?"

The other party was as powerless as he thought, taking this opportunity, the big fox quickly groped into the darkness - he had to find his master, what happened to this strange human being!

The movement here is not very small, at least the people in the bath heard it, Jing Mo sighed and went over to block the panicked big fox behind, touched a bucket and stuffed it into it, and wanted to catch up to do it Business woman's arms.

"Go to the owner of the soup house to get your reward. We don't need this kind of service, so let him stop letting people in."

The woman hesitated for a while, probably because her words were too cold, not as jerky as the previous one, she weighed it up and slipped away obediently.

After she disappeared outside the bath, Jing Mo ignited a flame at his fingertips, illuminating the face of the fearful big fox.

"Master, the service she said..." Xiaohuwan rubbed hard and pushed away the opponent's hand. He has been out in battle recently and has contacted a lot of humans, but only this one made him stand upright when he was touched. There was a patch of dots where I arrived, and it didn't go away for a long time.

Jing Mo looked helplessly at the big fox who had been taken advantage of, and didn't know how to explain the complicated truth to him. Before coming in, he only considered the issue of cleanliness, and completely forgot about these soup girls who provided special services—— Didn't they say that they were rectified and put all of them in Yoshihara a few years ago?

In the end, he could only touch the big fox's head: "It's okay, don't take it to heart, it's her mistake, if you encounter such a thing in the future, just firmly refuse."

The big fox, who always felt that something was wrong, swallowed his doubts, nodded obediently, and then stayed with Jingmo all night.

"Oh..." Zhu Keqie understood the cause and effect after a little thought, and looked over there sympathetically, "I've only heard of such things..."

"His Highness Kokomaru has never dealt with human beings before." Owaki Zai sighed, "It is because of his youthful behavior that he has been pestered all the time. What if we are not here?"

"Maybe he was deceived," San Riyue curled his lips, "because he doesn't understand anything."

Imagine the possibilities, a group of knives silently sinking themselves underwater.

The author has something to say: I wanted to finish writing this plot, but I couldn't stop the word count...

The big fox who has been taken advantage of and hasn't realized it is so miserable.
