"Why did the main hall sleep at my place again?"

"I saw something strange last night...Ishikirimaru is a magic knife, so I feel safe...Let me sleep for a while..."

Hello everyone, I am Lu Jiang. Last night, I was so frightened by a scene that seemed to be a supernatural phenomenon that I fell asleep in the middle of the night... Miko.Originally, he wanted to sleep with his initial knife, California Kiyomitsu, but was scared halfway and hid in the bed of Ishikirimaru, the father of Honmaru, and slept for a night.

Why not go to Qingjiang?

Because I always feel that he is a very kind person, in various senses.Although he is indeed very gentle and considerate in daily life, it just inexplicably makes me a little scared.

Oh, and the same goes for Mikazuki Munechi and Higiri.

"You're still snoozing like before."

Shiqiemaru's voice is deep and magnetic, and his speech speed is slow. Listening to him, the drowsiness that was only a little drowsy expanded several times, making me unable to resist the temptation to fall into a dream again.

Fumbling and grabbing Ishikimaru's sleeve, I squirmed and leaned against his arm. I felt my brain was so muddled that I couldn't think, and I couldn't even tell whether the chaotic scene in front of me was reality or fiction.

——It’s a dream.

In a trance, I heard a gentle female voice answering me. Although I knew it was probably just an illusion, I still couldn't help asking the owner of the voice why I was in such a depressing place.

—Here... is your delusion...

— Run away... don't... come back...

"You should... come back..."

"Eliminate disasters...purify body and mind...please wake up...main hall..."

I vaguely heard Hikiri and Ishikirimaru talking to me, I tried hard to open my eyes, but found that I couldn't control my body.Their voices came from a distance, and my consciousness was lost and wandering in this infinite darkness, as if I was imprisoned in this chaos.

--quick……

"If you don't come back, I will lock you up in the room."

"don't want--"

Waking up suddenly, I panicked and looked at the two Fusangshen with very serious expressions.I let go of Ishikirimaru's sleeve and sat up wearily, I rubbed my hair randomly and didn't know how to explain what happened just now.

Suddenly, Ishikirimaru comforted me with his reassuring voice while stroking my head.

"It's all right."

Lowering his eyes, he nodded slightly.Ishikimaru is indeed a magic sword, and my emotions gradually calmed down under his comfort.Thinking of the environment I was in just now and the cold breath I felt, I couldn't help but wrap my arms around myself.

"Tonight...can you still come to Ishikirimaru?"

"Come to my room tonight."

Interrupting what Ishikirimaru was about to say, Hikiri squinted his eyes, exuding a frightening and dangerous aura around him.The first time I was let off by one of my Big Three in Honmaru, I was a little at a loss.

Sleeping with Hikiri in his arms...?

How does it feel that if I really do this, I will be buried in the cherry blossom forest in Honmaru the morning after tomorrow.

"This time is an exception."

Looking at Higekiri, all I could read from his golden eyes was a rare sense of helplessness.

Did you find something?

I opened my mouth but couldn't ask, I bit my lower lip and didn't know what to say.I can't remember exactly what I saw last night. Everything in my impression was shrouded in thick fog.

Why did I hide here from Ishikirimaru?

It seems that because of some important things, I hid here.

- Memory loss.

These words flashed through my mind instantly, and I ran out the door.

"Why did the lord come out wearing a shirt!"

"That's not the point, Hasebe! Where is Qing Jiang? I have questions for him!"

I couldn't wait for Hasebe's answer, I walked around him anxiously and rushed towards Qingjiang's room, completely ignoring the cold air piercing the exposed skin, making my heart tremble with the sense of touch.

"Oh, why did the master come to me in pajamas?"

First I threw his quilt casually over myself, then knelt down in front of him, and I asked him very seriously: "Does Qing Jiang feel that I am different from usual?"

"Hmm..." Staring at my face and pondering for a while, Qing Jiang's expression changed from playful to serious, "It smells like blood."

"really."

Leaning against the door frame, Hikakiri held the sword on his body with one hand and carried his coat with the other.Knowing what he meant, I returned the quilt to Qing Jiang and took his coat and put it on my lap to keep warm.Ishikirimaru also came over with Hasebe at this time, the two of them were talking in a low voice, and when they saw me, Hasebe sighed and took off his coat and put it on me.

"You really have no time to worry."

I smiled apologetically at his complaining words. What happened this morning made me really have no energy to think about other things.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for me to run around in pajamas like this.

"The main hall seems to be entangled by something bad."

Ishikirimaru glanced at the courtyard, then nodded towards Hikakiri, and continued after a moment of consideration: "What happened after you left your room last night, the main hall?"

"I can't remember the details, but I remember it was very cold at the time." Although it is true that they sneaked into their room at night, I feel inexplicably ashamed to say it so directly, "I came here to find Qingjiang because I thought I lost this paragraph." The memory may be related to last night."

"Ghost? Ghost?"

Shaking my head to show that I don't know what the correct answer is, I try to let myself go back to the scene at that time.

"I remember that I casually approved a coat and walked out of my room with a pillow in my arms. I thought that I hadn't contacted Qingguang for a long time, so I went to sleep in his and An Ding's room for a night, but I didn't expect to find that I was standing in the courtyard. with a woman—"

huh?

With his mouth open, he couldn't make a sound, and his hands grabbed his neck uncontrollably.I felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for me to breathe, and my vision gradually became blurred. I didn't relax until Qing Jiang pulled out his body and cut the void.

Am I possessed by some ghost?

My mind was full of doubts, and the fusangshen who watched me make abnormal behavior were also full of doubts.

"It's not so much that I have been beheaded, it's better to say that I just avoided it. I can't see what is causing the trouble this time."

Sensing the worry in Qing Jiang's gaze, I curled my lips and had no choice but to put forward Higakiri's proposal just now.

"Then I'll go to sleep in the room of Hikirikimaru tonight. It should be safe for one who chopped up Ibaraki Doji and one who chopped up soil spiders, right?"

Hidekiri's dissatisfaction was obvious as he tapped my head with his knuckles bent.It's not that I don't want to look for them, it's just that I want to sleep with my knees in my arms more than Hikakiri...

Honmaru's name as the Big Three is not for nothing.

"Actually, Ishikirimaru and Xiaohumaru are also very safe. After all, they are divine swords and knives made by gods."

When it comes to the magic sword, the smiling Qingjiang obviously emphasizes it.I vaguely remembered that he was still just a work of art, and I secretly smiled inwardly.

Who made Ishikirimaru a knife enshrined.

"If you want to solve the source, only Qing Jiang, Higakiri, and Kenmaru can do it."

"Do not."

"And yourself."
