Ordinary Honmaru Chronicle

An ordinary day in Honmaru with nothing to worry about.

Today's valet is Horikawa Kunihiro, the industrious and capable young man has been quietly waiting in front of his aunt's attic door.When the sliding door was pushed open, the aunt in thick pajamas looked at the reddish nose of the thinly dressed boy in surprise, and said embarrassingly:

"Sorry, sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Seeing the host apologizing, Horikawa Kunihiro quickly waved his hands and said in a low voice, "No, my lord. I came too early and accidentally disturbed Mr. Kane when I got up..." He smiled silently, "In short, it's not It's okay, my lord, don't worry about it."

The auntie looked at the boy's slightly shy smile, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Well, wait a minute."

"Yes." Although I don't know what the lord is going to do next, a good knife will not question the master's decision.Horikawa Kunihiro nodded, and obediently stood in front of the sliding door, waiting for the aunt who re-entered the house to go out.

After a while, the aunt came out with a wrapped gift bag.Handing the bag to Horikawa Kunihiro who looked surprised, the aunt raised her lips slightly:

"I wanted to give it to you at night, but I didn't expect to use it now. This is a New Year's gift for you. If you want, you can open it now and have a look."

She looked gently at the boy who was holding the gift bag tightly and suddenly became shy, and took out his pocket, and took out a small red paper bag and put it in his palm:

"Horikawa Kunihiro, happy new year, new year, please give me your advice."

Because the aunt's background is different from that of the swordsmen, it was originally the Japanese New Year's Spring Festival. After several rounds of private discussions, the swordsmen in Honmaru did not intend to celebrate, but unanimously agreed not to use the new calendar, but to Celebrate the New Year with my aunt's hometown.

What they didn't expect was that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.The waiter who received the gift wore a new scarf and rushed to the restaurant ahead of time to reveal the aunt's willingness to spend a second time celebrating, the atmosphere in the whole Honmaru was lifted.

"It's great~ I can get double Nianyu!"

Looking at the eyes of the younger brothers sitting beside him—especially Toshiro Hakata—the eyes sparkled instantly, and the smile that had just finished distributing the jade bags for the first time could not help but be filled with a bit of heartache: he just came to Honmaru In less than half a year, the money is really not enough. I plan to borrow money from my uncle for the Nianyu bags of these younger brothers. If I need double Nianyu...

Seeing the eyes of the eldest nephew surrounded by a group of younger nephews begging for help across the dining table, Minghu picked up the tea cup and took a sip to cover up the smile on his lips.

But the little fox was far more straightforward than him. He sneaked under the table, sneaked onto Yiqi Yizhen's shoulder, and whispered into his ear:

"Acridine~ Minghu said that you can still ask him to borrow money~ But there are conditions~"

The little fox narrowed his dark eyes and said with a smile:

"Acridine~ If you go to the battlefield together in the first month, remember to let Yu in the first episode~"

"..." In the first phase, Yizhen's smile stiffened slightly, and finally he sighed helplessly, and nodded to Minghu who was drinking tea but had burning eyes.

After breakfast, they received clear instructions from their aunt, and the energy of Candekiri Mitsutada and Utasen Kanesada was immediately mobilized to the greatest extent.After some heated discussions, Mr. Shizuo decided to double the already rich menu for lunch and dinner. Candlestick Kiri asked Okuri to help take care of the kitchen, and he took a special gift from Horikawa Kunihiro entrusted by his aunt. With a bag full of small judgments, he rolled up his sleeves and charged at Wan Wu.

The daggers and the wakisashi sent out collectively, those with rags took rags, those with brooms took brooms, and tried to clean up the floor of Honmaru in one morning with their super high mobility.Seeing Imken pushing a rag across the corridor like an afterimage, Ishikimaru and Taro, who was holding a lot of blessing props, looked at each other, and avoided it with a smile.

The adult swordsmen are not leisurely, except for purchasing and taking care of the stove, the swords of the Okita group are in charge of sweeping the courtyard, Awataguchi is responsible for the cleaning of the public bathrooms, Hachisuka and his younger brother tidy up the meeting hall together with Izumi Mori Sayo , the Lion King howled, and held up a feather duster against his head and dusted it all the way.

It was almost noon when the aunt slowly moved downstairs accompanied by Horikawa, and saw that the whole Honmaru had a new look: the gate pine was placed at the entrance of the main entrance, and Shimenawa was hung on the lintel of the meeting hall.In the cleaned dining room, a group of short knives were talking and laughing while helping the candlesticks to cut and make Huifang rolls. Seeing the owner coming, Jinjian quickly got up, holding a small dish full of good ingredients, his eyes sparkling Come together and say:

"Princess, do you want to try Tengu's special food?"

The aunt held the little tengu in her arms, rubbed his head, and accepted his feeding with a smile.Seeing Imamori's rosy cheeks acting coquettishly, all the cuties of Awataguchi suddenly refused to obey, and they raised small plates and asked to be fed.The aunts who had tasted a round of egg rolls with eel shreds and crab sticks burped a little, touched the mess of the last one who had rubbed her contentedly and slipped down from her body, and picked up a small piece of cucumber. Roll, smiled and stuffed it backhand into the mouth of the assistant boy.

Horikawa Kunihiro blushed instantly, he pressed the small roll into his cheek with the tip of his tongue and chewed slowly, his low voice was full of smiles:

"My lord, let's go to the chamber to have a look? Mister Jian should be there to help."

In the meeting hall, Xiao Ye sat on her knees with bare feet, offering the neatly stacked mirror cakes to the altar with a serious face, and worshiped reverently with her hands folded after the offering.The aunt couldn't bear to scare him, she nodded to the men with swords and swords who came up to greet her, and made a gesture of silence, and after Xiao Ye got up, she took two steps forward and rubbed his head from behind Mazzy blue hair.

With Xiao Ye's keenness, she has already noticed the appearance of the protagonist, so she is not surprised by her intimacy, but she is inevitably a little shy under the crowd of swords and swords.Seeing the rare shyness of this gloomy and introverted child, the aunt couldn't bear to tease him anymore, she just bent down and said softly:

"What New Year's resolution did Xiao Ye make?"

"...It would be nice if Brother Jiang Xue and Brother Zongsan could also come to Honmaru during the New Year..."

The usually reticent child's face gradually turned red, but with the encouragement of the protagonist's smile, he boldly expressed his wish.The auntie took out a piece of Konpei candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Saya's mouth. She glanced back at Hachisuga Kotoru meaningfully. Seeing him nodding slightly, she smiled and said:

"Happy new year, your wish will come true."

"Huh?...Really?"

Xiaoye still had sugar in her mouth, she looked up at the aunt in a daze.The auntie was amused by the hesitation and expectation in his eyes, scratched his nose and said:

"Trust your lord, my boy."

"……Um."

The dinner was grand.

This was the first banquet hosted by Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada after he came to Honmaru. Together with Kasen and Okuri, he showed his eighteen martial arts skills and prepared a table full of delicacies with great care.In addition to sushi, sashimi, tempura and New Year's dishes, there are also delicious sukiyaki hot pot and special grilled marinade. There are several flower plates of beef with beautiful frost patterns, and various vegetables and mushrooms. All washed with water.After the swordsmen cleaned up and walked into the restaurant with a smile, they found that besides the table full of good things, there was a huge vertical TV set behind the cushion of the lord. New Year's song.The protagonist on the main seat in front of the TV is holding several gift bags of different sizes and colors, looking at Candekiri, Utasen and Kunihiro Horikawa with some embarrassment:

"Will I really not block the TV when I sit here?"

"Of course not, my lord!"

The chef's two swordsmen are obviously very satisfied with this setting where they can have dinner with the lord and watch the concert. Horikawa Kunihiro even laughed and said:

"Mr. Jian... Cough... I'm afraid everyone will be very satisfied with this setup!"

"Since that's the case... Let's just listen to you and sit like this... But remember to carry the TV to the conference hall after eating."

"Yes~"

"Wow~" The first ones to yell in surprise are naturally the short knives who are outstanding in scouting. Seeing the little red envelopes, small baskets and all kinds of gifts beside the aunt, even if there is a nun and Yaoyan present, the chaos is hard to control Excited, he rushed up to the aunt's side and said coquettishly:

"Princess Princess~"

"Yeah." The aunt smiled and touched his head. Seeing that Luan was too excited to speak, she reluctantly picked up a year jade bag and took the one marked with Luan from Horikawa beside her. Gift bag with name:

"Happy New Year, Luan, please give me your advice for the next year."

"Hmm, um!" The excited tears were about to flow down after receiving the gift.It wasn't until the first issue pushed him to express his gratitude that Luan nodded vigorously as if he had just woken up from a dream. He suddenly rushed forward and hugged the lord tightly, with a little trembling in his sweet voice:

"You... are really the best lord in this world!"

"Hahaha... Thank you, thank you~" The auntie patted the messy vest, and seeing that he had finally calmed down, she motioned for the first to help him up, and handed the New Year jade bag and gift bag to the next in line. An Akita with eyes full of anticipation.After the brothers got their presents, they took their seats happily. Seeing the bone scorpion and the catfish tail took half a step back, Yao Yan pushed his glasses, knelt down in front of the aunt calmly, and bowed slightly road:

"General, happy new year."

Seeing one of the most capable fighters under him, the aunt's smile became more and more warm:

"Good drug research, new year, please give me a lot of advice."

Yao Yan, who received the gift, performed a kneeling and prostration earnestly. When he raised his head, his amethyst-like pupils flickered with moving light:

"... In the new year, please take care of me, General."

After the Awataguchi faction received the presents, it was the swordsmen of the Shinsengumi. The auntie sighed slightly when she saw the envious eyes that Kami Kiyomitsu glanced at Ran from time to time.After sending Izumi Shou's share, when it was the boy's turn, she hesitated for a long time, but reached out and touched his cheek lightly. Seeing the boy's flattered expression, she pursed her lips, and said:

"Happy New Year, Qingguang, in the new year, I will work hard...to cherish you even more."

"...Master QAQ!!!"

Seeing that California Kiyomitsu was about to cry with excitement and throw his terrified aunt down, Yamato Moran Ding behind him smiled and stepped forward with a knife of love.Seeing the pained California Kiyomitsu being led to his seat by Horikawa and Kasen, he knelt down respectfully like Yaken and saluted. After receiving the gift from his aunt, the handsome young man saluted and then raised his body. He brewed for a long time, Fang whispered slowly:

"...I am Yamato Morita...Although it is difficult to use, I believe you will be able to use me well...In short, happy new year, please give me a lot of advice, master."

"Yeah." Looking at the firm eyes of Yamato Mori who was kneeling in front of him, the aunt said softly:

"I will make good use of you...so please follow your heart as much as you can. Happy and stable new year, please give me your advice in the new year."

Gifts and year jade bags were distributed to almost all the men with swords and swords. Seeing that they were seated one by one, the auntie looked at Xiao Ye, who was at the end of the line, and looked at herself anxiously after seeing him receive the gifts.The aunt couldn't help laughing, and encouraged:

"Would you like to take a look at the gift in the gift bag first, Xiaoye?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ye was startled, and put the long gift box in her hand on her lap.Seeing the master in front of him and the colleagues around him looking at him with deep meaning, Xiao Ye swallowed slightly, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart:

Could it be...

After he completely opened the gift box, he saw two swords fixed in a wooden knife box and wrapped in exquisite silk.As calm as Xiao Ye, her hands couldn't help shaking:

"what……"

The aunt handed the usually reserved and reticent child two spiritual power talismans, and said with a smile:

"Happy New Year, Xiaoye, may all your wishes come true."

The child who received the talisman still bowed his head in silence, but tiny pink petals made of spiritual power were already fluttering above his head.Seeing Xiao Ye's ears turn red, the aunt couldn't bear to tease him anymore:

"Hurry up and wake up your brothers, Xiaoye, it's great to have a family reunion on New Year's Eve. I think they will definitely like this delicious meal prepared by Guangzhong."

Xiao Ye nodded slightly, and he slowly put the two spiritual power talismans in Jiang Xue and Zong San's scabbards.

In an instant, the cherry blossoms danced and exploded, and the two slender Zuo Wenjia brothers came to this maru, and the words of self-introduction were about to come out.

Seeing the younger brother's rare expression of joy, Zong San dispelled the depression around him, and Jiang Xue softened his eyebrows and eyes.They stopped uttering those negative words, but bowed to the auntie, and after receiving the two year jade bags, they were ushered to their seats by the men with swords and swords.

In the cafeteria, all the men with swords and swords in the auntie Honmaru were assembled, and amazake and fruit juice tea were filled.The lively chatter and laughter gradually calmed down when they saw the aunt standing up holding a cup of amazake. All the swordsmen looked at their master, their lord, full of anticipation.

Amidst the lively singing and the gurgling of the boiling hot pot, the clear and clear voice of the auntie was so clear and clear that it reached the ears of every man with swords and even their hearts:

"Everyone, happy new year. It's really great to meet you in this honmaru and go through this year with you. I respect you for this glass of wine. In the new year, I hope we can take care of each other. Please give me more advice!"

Accompanied by the action of the aunt drinking the wine, the swords and swords also responded happily:

Izumi Mori, who was the first to get up, drank a large glass of sake in one gulp, and soon coughed because he drank too much. California Qingguang and Yamato Mori Anding not only did not sympathize with him, but gloated and booed. Kanesan, who was pretending to be angry, and Kunihiro Horikawa, who was in the Shinsengumi Toukenjian, couldn't hold back their laughter;

Taro Tachi and Ishikirimaru drank the wine in their glasses calmly, looked at each other, thought of the auspicious lottery that the lord would see next to the pillow tomorrow morning, and smiled and clinked glasses again;

Under Hakata's sway, he took advantage of the moment when he was not paying attention, and secretly exchanged the wine cups of his elder brother and younger uncle with their juices.After a sip of toast was served, Bodo's eyes straightened immediately, while he blushed and yelled loudly. He was so moved that he was terribly moved. After sitting down, tears and snot came out together, causing the five tigers who didn't care about being caught between the two to retreat. About to hit him, Yizhen and Minghu hurriedly pulled one to prevent them from fighting. Looking at the catfish tail who was still booing in a mess, Yao Yan looked at the speechless bone, and at the same time He sighed helplessly, but couldn't help the joy in his heart, and smiled slightly;

After the toast, Urashima couldn't help but unwrapped the gift bag from his aunt, and was happily showing the lion king the tortoise doll that his aunt gave him. Touching the new hairpin on top of her head, she smiled reservedly;

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong looked at the hot pot intently, and saw that the best piece of beef he had chosen had turned a charming gray-brown color. He immediately picked it up and offered it to the lord's dipping plate, watching the auntie chewing with happiness. Delicious slices of meat, he softened the expression on his face, his golden pupils were full of concentration.He suddenly bumped his elbow into Da Juli, who was drinking at his side, and said with a smile:

"Little Jia Luo, I suddenly feel so happy, how about you?"

"..." The upright young man frowned when he heard the words, put the three-flower milk cat with a red ribbon on his knees, and said with his head sideways:

"This kind of atmosphere...even if it's the first month...hmph..."

Seeing him caressing the kitten absent-mindedly from time to time, with red earlobes, Candlestick smiled and shook his head, picked up a chopstick of shredded konjac and put it into the little friend's plate:

"Try it, the lord loves this very much, I think little Jia Luo will definitely like it too."

Hearing the words, the dark-skinned young man glared at him, and pretended to glance at the aunt who was eating the konjac shreds offered by the song fairy. Fang Leng snorted and picked up the bowl, wrapped the konjac shreds in the egg liquid, With a big mouthful of rice stuffed into the mouth together.

In this atmosphere, even Zuo Wenwen's family, who are accustomed to being negative and world-weary, cannot avoid being infected.Jiang Xue picked up a piece of tofu and put it on Xiaoye's plate. Zongsan pushed the spooned soup bowl to Xiaoye's hand, then picked up a chopsticks of red and tender sea bream dipped in soy sauce, and slowly put it into his mouth.Gently chewing and swallowing the delicious food in his mouth, Zong San slightly stretched his brows and eyes, and said softly to Jiang Xue and Xiao Ye:

"I can see brother Jiang Xue and Xiao Ye in the new year, even if it is dominated by this disgusting fate, I can't help being a little happy..."

"Yes..." Jiang Xue took a sip of the soup in Zuowen, and said slowly:

"This world is full of sorrows...but here and here, when I meet you, it is also safe and harmonious..."

Swallowing down the tofu in her mouth, Xiao Ye suddenly stood up and waved the soup ladle, scooping out a piece of radish with rich soup for each of the two elder brothers.Seeing the soft glutinous radish exuding strong steam in the bowl, the two elder brothers relaxed their expressions, and immediately praised:

"Xiao Ye is as sensible as ever..."

"Yeah, huh, that's great."

Xiao Ye lowered her head a little shyly, and blushed immediately when she saw the aunt who was also being fed by the person beside her smiling and looking over.He planed a mouthful of rice in a little panic, meditating silently while chewing:

If you follow in her footsteps...you don't have to worry about being sold or polished...

So even if it's as dark as me...maybe...you can pursue the happiness that belongs to a knife, right?
