[Comprehensive] Winter Feast

"It's a cooperation agreement." Foxosuke wagged his tail and raised his head proudly, "I'm a special envoy. Unlike ordinary Foxonosuke who is looking for God-inspectors, I am responsible for finding higher-level and rarer existences. What you signed is a cooperation agreement, not an employment agreement!"

Foxnosuke looked at Yae with bright eyes: "Master Yae, the Government of Time is very powerful, and you are equally powerful. It would be great to sign a cooperation agreement and join forces for mutual benefit and win-win!" It emphasized, "We will open The conditions are very favorable!"

Yae thought for a while: "We will reply to you after reading the contract."

"No problem." Honosuke's excited expression cooled down a little, and he seemed much calmer, "That's how it should be."

When Yae was talking to Foxnosuke, Yamabukiri didn't take his eyes off the text on the screen.The conversation between the god judge and Fox Nosuke came to an end, he looked up to say something, but saw the god judge put on a businesslike expression, smiled gently and politely and said: "Please make a special trip, please Eat fried tofu."

The calm appearance that just appeared on Foxnosuke disappeared in an instant, and it jumped up and said, "Oh, thank you very much!"

Yae's power restored Honmaru to the state before it was destroyed. At that time, there was only Sankazuki living alone. Now there are so many people suddenly, and trivial tasks such as cleaning the room and drying the bedding are still needed. They all rushed to work and fried tofu for Honosuke by themselves.

Candlestick felt that it was inappropriate, and there was no need for the judge to cook in person. He hadn't figured out how to express himself, but Yaki Hasebe had already said: "My lord, let me do it."

He stepped forward: "My cooking skills are also qualified."

Yae tilted his head and smiled, showing a refusal expression.This expression is also a buffer, creating time for thinking, just like the candlestick never thought about how to speak, and she didn't think about how to refuse.

In this brief silence, Ishikimaru grabbed Hasebe's arm: "I need you more here, Hasebe-kun." Ishikimaru asked Yae, "The judge of God should not mind."

Yae also laughed, admiring Odachi's sharpness and flexibility: "Of course I don't mind."

Hasebe was dragged away just like that, Candlestick Kiri glanced at Ishikirimaru, understood something, bowed slightly, and left after him.

"Then we're going to tidy up this pill." San Riyue smiled and bowed, "Remember to call us if you have anything."

Yae waved to them: "Thank you for your hard work."

There is a refrigerator in the kitchen, and there is tofu in the refrigerator, and there is a recipe in the drawer of the cooking table. Of course, the recipe records the recipe of fried tofu, which is very popular among swordsmen.

Fried tofu is the easiest, Yae read it all over, and started to make it.

Obviously, he began to operate after reading the recipe, but Yae, who is holding long chopsticks and turning over the tofu, seems to be able to handle it with ease.

Foxosuke obediently squatted on the cooking table at the end farthest from the oil pan, with his tail hanging down the edge of the table, shaking it from time to time.

For a while in the kitchen, there was only the sound of tofu boiling in the oil pan.

In the unique aroma of deep-fried tofu, Foxnosuke wagged his tail greatly: "Well, is there anything Yai-sama wants to ask me alone?"

"Among the judging criteria of the Government of Time, what is the difference between me and other god judges?"

"It's like the difference between the two words of employment and cooperation, there is an essential difference." Foxnosuke did not ask any questions about Yae's question, and gave a very targeted and candid answer, "For the Government of Time, As long as the god judge has spiritual power, others can be trained later. But the selection of collaborators is much stricter. Generally speaking, the collaborators of the government of time need to have the same power as the government of time .”

"Master Yai, you don't need to test anything. I said that I came from the future. In the future I live in, you are already an existence that keeps pace with the Government of Time." Fox Nosuke stood up and moved his limbs. , "I know you must be wondering - this is what you told us in the future - why the government of the time did not choose to suppress the forces that will grow to be on par with itself in the future, but chose to cooperate from the very beginning. "

"The reason is simple. The government of time has limited capabilities, and we cannot take into account all timelines."

Yae turned the oily tofu in the pan, and the aroma became more intense. Foxnosuke leaned over to the oil pan: "Especially those branch lines of time that diverge in the direction of mutation, it is difficult for us to enter."

"However, the time-traveling army is unimpeded."

"So far, we still don't know the mechanism of the time-traveling army. The only way to protect history is passive combat. Therefore, within the scope of control, we absolutely do not allow the number of time-traveling troops to increase."

"The collapsed timeline will not only have a negative impact on the main axis of time, but will also become a hotbed for the reproduction of the time retrograde army. The government of time cannot touch these places, so it needs partners to guard them."

"The Government of Time's requirement for collaborators is that they must have the ability to travel through the timeline." Honosuke finished speaking with a serious face, and fixed the solemn expression on his face for two seconds, and then couldn't help but suck Drooling, "Master Yai, can you eat fried tofu?"

Yae poked it with chopsticks: "It's not deep fried yet, wait a minute."

"Protecting the timeline is because I work for the government of time, so what will the government of time do for me?"

"The general terms in the contract are 'provide all the materials needed to protect the history'. In detail, it means job security. If you need it, I can provide you with all the swords and men you don't have, and you can choose the grade." Fox Nosuke Tiao’s answer, “Because Wanwu is shared by all god judges, so in order to prevent inflation, there is a limit to the Jiazhou gold we can provide, but it is enough to buy most of the things you want.”

"I know this is not the most attractive condition. After all, existences with the power to travel through time and space have a pretty good life."

Yae put the deep-fried fried tofu on the plate, Honosuke followed him with his eyes, the voice was interrupted for a second, he turned his eyes away hastily, and continued to say the most critical point.

"The most attractive condition is not written into the contract, because it cannot be written." Honosuke's expression became completely serious, and the aroma of fried tofu could not impress him at this moment. "If the partner wants to change the time branch of the mutation As long as we do not go too far in the history of the world, we will turn a blind eye and close one eye."

It seems that everyone ignores this because of Fox's appearance, and behind it stands the entire government of time.

With fluffy hair and cute appearance, Honosuke, who has always been used as a mascot, brings a distinct sense of oppression to Yae at this moment.

Foxnosuke took away a piece of fried tofu when Yae was in a daze, and was scalded to tears, but he was reluctant to let go.

It struggled to eat the tofu, and let out a sigh of satisfaction and pain: "The next news is my personal return to the fried tofu, Lord Yadai, you must always pay attention to your Sankayue Zongjin."

Yae heard the ominous meaning in its words: "Why?"

"Since you can travel through the time axis, you must know the parallel world. Although the future I saw when I went to the wrong time point is not on the road ahead of this Honmaru, it may still happen." Fox Nosuke considered it, speaking The speed is very slow, "In the future of some parallel worlds, your Sanri Yuezong is approaching and has fallen in darkness."

Yae asked it calmly: "Since the timing is wrong, how can you be sure that he must be my crescent moon?"

Foxosuke's answer was this: "He's wearing your gokudama necklace."

The Gouyu necklace that was originally hanging outside the clothes was put into the clothes by Yae and worn next to her body.

Gouyu's cold temperature stuck to her skin, and was gradually warmed by her body temperature. The anxiety in her heart seemed to disappear with the rising temperature like dew.

After experiencing the demon-ridden Heiankyo and the end of the Tokugawa era where Rakshasa haunted, Yae was able to hide her emotions more and more. No Fusangshen found out that Foxnosuke gave her such a terrible gift in return.

Yae signed an agreement, the contract was established, Fox Nosuke stayed and took on the job of guiding novices, and its guidance was necessary.Because neither Yae nor Fusangshen have ever worked in the normal process of the Government of Time.

Honosuke's complaint about this is: "The time we went is not the normal time for the government to arrive!"

Yae's curiosity is: "Since we don't have a normal one, why do I have such a normal Honmaru?"

"This Honmaru is not a normal Honmaru either!" Foxosuke lay on all fours in Yae's arms, exposing his belly for her to rub, "This is specially prepared for people who can travel through time and space, with special coordinates, can you There is a high probability of catching you."

Honmaru, which alternates seasons according to the normal time, has already entered winter, and Yae rubbed Fox's stomach and warmed his hands by the way.A charcoal fire was burning in the corner of the main hall, and the courtyard was all white when viewed from the opened partition.

Yae is waiting for the return of the fusangshen who went out to battle.

Finally, a figure gradually approached, walked around the frozen lake, stepped on the steps covered with thin snow, and came to her with a cold winter breath and said, "I'm back."

Sanri Yuezong leaned over with a smile on his face, the golden tassels on his head reflected the dazzling light.

Yae smiled and answered him: "Welcome home."

This is the foreseeable tranquility, the superficial peace and tranquility amidst the turmoil of the undercurrent.

It was a brief calm before the final decisive battle.

The long-awaited dream came to an end here, but the reality continued to move toward the future.

After Sankayue completed the captain's report, the other fusangshen also entered the main hall one after another, waiting for Yae to comment on their battle.

At the beginning, the reviews were all carried out by Foxnosuke with the help of the high-tech government of the time, but soon, Yae grew up at an astonishing speed, and perfectly took on the job of reviews.

Foxnosuke was very surprised by this: "Master Yai, you don't have much combat experience, do you?"

Yae's answer to this was: "But I've seen too many battles to count."

"I have a piece of news to tell everyone." After the review, Yae said to the mourning gods, "I can open the passage back to Heianjing."
