"I'm back--!"

On an ordinary and ordinary morning.

When every human or monster passes by, they can't help but stop and stare at the summoning circle.

Under increasingly blue skies.

After waiting for a long, long time, the clear voice finally rang out with joy.

In the summoning circle that suddenly lit up, Nuliang Rikusheng let go of the hand that he had been holding tightly with the little girl all along, and watched her happily, looking left and right with a smile, and finally threw himself into the arms of Mama Wakaca.

"General, general—!"

"Three generations!"

"Lu Sheng!"

In the loud calls one after another, Lu Sheng gave a thumbs up with a smile and said confidently:

"Look! I brought back our little princess!"

Aphra blushed, but couldn't hold back her smile no matter what.

Ahhh.

I am back.

I am back.

Although I will never go back to the home I miss day and night.

However, I also have a place that accommodates me.

***

Yokai never hesitate when it comes to celebrating good things.

There was a banquet that night.

Aphra was surrounded by monsters she knew, and they fed her the most delicious food one after another.

Everyone is very distressed.

One said, "Oh, how thin you are."

One said, "What about the Warring States period and peace? How could there be anything delicious in those days? At most, a piece of grilled sweetfish, bah."

One said, "Don't forget that Aphra can't eat meat, my God, how did you get here all this time? No wonder she lost weight!"

One said, "Is there anyone to take care of them? How can those swords do anything to take care of girls."

One said, "Hurry up and buy some more clothes tomorrow!"

The other immediately retorted, "What are you talking about! After finally coming back, why don't you let Aphrodite rest for a few more days?"

The rush of tongues completely suppressed Aphra's weak "Huh? Isn't it? Everyone takes good care of me...?"

If it weren't for the men with swords and swords who were tidying up their new residences, standing here would probably have been pierced by knives.

Even Wakaca's mother came over, and gently stroked Aphra's hair with her mother's warm palm.

"...you've grown up."

she sighed.

Aphra didn't resist, she just tilted her head back, rubbed her face coquettishly, and rolled her eyes with a smile:

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

The little girl probably didn't notice it herself.

When she first came to the Nuliang Group, she was timid and confused like a fledgling that just came into this world.

But, now.

Although she is still cute and coquettish, there is already a firm light in those beautiful metallic silver eyes.

——Behind those adventure stories that sounded like an understatement, what happened to make this change happen?

If it's a rose.

Passers-by will only appreciate its beautiful petals, magnificent colors, and its upward posture.

The soil provides it with nutrients and supports its growth, worrying whether the spikes on the flower stem will prick itself.

Wakana hid her sigh behind her smile, and hugged the young god again.

"It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing."

The mother laughed.

***

"...So, that's it, Date Masamune defeated Oda Nobunaga."

"Wow! It's amazing!"

"Yes, you can speak English, you can go to the sky with Wushuang on, and you can almost fire a cannon..."

"Are you so strong, this human!"

"There are also all kinds of monsters! Just the dog monsters, I met two! Ah, and the fox monsters also know several."

"Wow, ah, ah, I want to hear, I want to hear!"

Surrounded by a group of little monsters, urging them to tell adventure stories, Aphra laughed without a trace of impatience.

She changed out of all kinds of expensive kimonos and went back to the modern styles that people bought her these days.

A small decorative hat is worn on the top of the head, a bright yellow hoodie with knots on the upper body, cute and playful, and a pleated skirt with suspenders underneath.As the little girl sat in the corridor, shaking her legs, her two light brown boots dangled with her.

I really miss it.

"It's better not to coddle them too much."

Xuenv and Chuan Bingli bent down and sat beside Afra.

That's what she said, but she still smashed the ice cubes with the stirring rod in her hand, and handed her the chilled drink.

...Bingli, who couldn't help spoiling Aphra, seems to have no right to say such things (laughs).

The little girl took a sip of the hawthorn apple tea that she had been coveting for a long time, and even narrowed her eyes.

"Bingli is right. When you gave gifts to every little monster, you almost held a carnival in the Nuliang group."

Ji Nai also smiled and sat down.

"It's been so long, but I still remember it."

Aphra couldn't help covering her face, "I'm so sorry for the gift that was so long late..." She admitted her mistake in a small voice, "I really didn't expect to walk into the gate of time and space without paying attention. Fortunately, I’m back. Ah, so the souvenirs brought back from the Warring States Period and Ping An are all antiques?”

"—For antiques, it's not just those souvenirs, is it?"

A voice interrupted them, and Aphra's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Munakata! Mr. Zhou Fang! Anna!"

The little girl shouted joyfully, couldn't help but flew around the two kings twice, and had an intimate kiss with Anna, and Zhou Fangzun pinned her hair with the palm of her hand.

"The marbles... have you used it?" Anna was concerned about her little friend, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's all thanks to everyone. Anna, I'll tell you Fujihime's story later!" Aphra took Anna's hand in a circle.

King Qing pushed his glasses aside and scanned the new courtyard.

"National Treasures of Japan, Important Cultural Properties, Important Works of Art..."

Munakata Reishi had a half-smile: "It seems that the expensive and ancient swords have all grown legs and ran away."

Aphra has already recognized the black-bellied nature of this person, and she is not afraid of him, but puts her hands together, grinning and sticking out her tongue.

"Thank you for helping me and the swords find a new home, Munakata-san!"

That's right.The new courtyard is almost next door to the Nuliang Group. It is also a quaint house style and occupies a large area, which is enough for so many men with swords to live in their daily lives.

It's not hard to imagine the Nuliang Group and King Qing... maybe there is also the King of Gold who was once an Onmyoji.

Munakata Reiji turned his gaze back from the swords.

He didn't care about the veiled gazes of the men with swords. He just stared at the little gods who were first taken over by the two kings respectively, and sighed when he saw that the girl no longer wanted to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to make mushrooms.

He didn't ask what happened during this time, but just like Zhou Fangzun, he reached out and stroked the little girl's hair.

"Looking for Japanese national treasures, things like this shouldn't be all on a little girl."

King Qing smiled, and his originally transparent glasses reflected light strangely, revealing a fanaticism that didn't fit this persona:

"We have also searched for news about 'Sword Fusangshen' through various channels."

Aphra shuddered in fright, always feeling that this person had turned on some extraordinary switch.

Sure enough, Munakata Reisi said word by word, full of desire to explore, and enthusiastically said:

"Go to hell! Aphra!"

Aphra: "......... Huh??"
