Ordinary Honmaru Chronicle

"I'm Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro... What kind of eyes do you have, do you mind if I'm a counterfeit?"

"what?"

Seeing the female judge in front of me stunned, the young man hiding under a large white cloth quickly raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his head in a sleepy manner, and gave up on himself:

"Anyway, it's just a counterfeit, and I will soon lose interest... I still know this."

"...But I obviously haven't said anything yet..."

Seeing that the master was in a difficult situation, Tong Tian Guan Zhengguo, who was a close servant, became a little impatient.After handing a bell to the female judge, he muttered to Yamabuchi: "The power of the weapon itself makes it valuable enough. Don't you think so?"

Who knows that Shanba will never move Rushan said: "You are not a counterfeit, are you?"

"...I'm a real combat sword." Although it was a mass-produced sword, it was really not a counterfeit, Tong Tianguan choked unhappily.

Grandma Shan glanced at him faintly, picked up the knife pattern bell and said in a low voice: "...ah, I understand." After speaking, he bowed to the female judge who didn't know what to say, and it was like this He quietly went out and went downstairs.

"Hey, hello! What!" Seeing that the veins on Tong Tianguan's forehead were about to burst out, knowing that he was really angry, and it was not good to let the other party guide the newcomer Yamabukiri, the female judge could only comfort him with a wry smile. :

"Don't get angry with the new blade easily, big raccoon, your record has been outstanding during this period of time, and it is indeed a strong and simple good knife!"

"Hey, master, I will continue to kill the enemy from now on." After receiving the praise, the dark complexion of Tong Tianguan, who was successfully brought to the point, showed a little redness, and he gritted his teeth in embarrassment and shouted:

"But may I trouble you to stop calling me by that nickname?"

"Hahaha, why not? Tong Tanuki and Big Tanuki, how cute~"

"...Ugh!"

Although knowing that the new owner might dislike the identity of the counterfeit product, the untimely response of the female judge obviously hit the fragile and sensitive Yamabagiri Kunihiro.The gentle breeze of the early spring in Honmaru caressed his handsome face, but it couldn't remove the dark haze in his heart:

"Ugh……"

"brother!"

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor. Horikawa Kunihiro held a gift box under his arm, and gently patted the dust on his cuffs. He stuffed the feather duster in his hand to Izumi Mamoru behind him, and greeted Yamabukiri with joy. One sound:

"You are here too!"

"...Ah." Seeing the brothers from the same sword sect, even though Yamabukiri was still feeling a little depressed at this time, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.Horikawa smiled with his eyes bent:

"The master sent me and Kanesan to help you clean up the room. Brother, you are arranged to live in the newly built room. It is a brand new two-person room. You can live with Brother Yamabushi in the future!"

"Ah... is that so?" Yamabuchi was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at Horikawa and Izumi Mamoru who were intimate with each other, the aura on their bodies visibly weakened:

"Knew it……"

With the diligent and hard-working Kunihiro Horikawa, Yamabagiri's room was tidied up very quickly.Izumi Mamoru, who was causing trouble everywhere, was sent by him to the warehouse to get furniture. After Horikawa's skillful arrangement, even the standard daily necessities looked warm.Seeing that everything was ready and it was almost noon, Horikawa presented the gift he and Izumi Mori jointly purchased, and naturally invited Yamabukiri to go to the restaurant with them for dinner:

"Brother, both Jiansang and I saw that the master went to the restaurant to help out in the morning, and she will definitely prepare a separate meal to welcome you at noon!"

Unexpectedly, when Yamabachi heard this, his face tightened, and he said in a low voice:

"I... don't really want to attend... Besides, compared to me, it's better to ask her to take care of those expedition people... There is absolutely no need to prepare for it alone."

Hearing his self-deprecating self-deprecation, Izumi Mori frowned so much that he could kill a fly.Just when he was about to say something, Horikawa made a silent gesture to him from behind, and said without changing his expression:

"But the master should have already prepared it for you, brother. How about I go and tell the master in a while, and bring you the brother's meal alone?"

Just when Izumi Mori thought that Yamabukiri would refuse, the other party accepted with a little gratitude!Horikawa nodded, and pulled Izumi, who was hesitant to speak, out of the door.After walking away for a certain distance and confirming that the other party would not hear his voice, Izumi Mori couldn't wait to ask:

"Hey Kunihiro, isn't your brother even willing to dine with the master... This is too..."

Seeing Kanesan's displeased face, Kunihiro Horikawa sighed and said with a wry smile:

"It's probably because the master's reaction in the morning made him go into a corner... Sigh, it seems that he will really trouble the master later."

"Tsk!"

"Knock knock knock."

"...Is it brother?" Yamabasaki, who had changed into a private uniform, sat in front of the window with his knees hugged. After hearing the knock on the door, he glanced at the wall clock in the house depressed: "It's not time for dinner yet. ..."

"It's me." After a moment of silence outside the room, the apologetic voice of the female judge came: "Yamabugiri, it's me... May I come in?"

"..." Yamabuchi didn't answer, but the female judge who had a good conversation with Horikawa just now knew his nature, counted ten in her heart, and pushed open the door decisively.As if frightened by the sound of Zhangzimen being opened, Yamabuchi shuddered and completely curled himself up under the white cloth.

"Click."

The door was closed, and with the sound of light footsteps, the room exuded the unique smell of new furniture, and a faint fragrance unique to women gradually lingered.Yamabuchi took a little breath, and then was frightened by his subconscious movements, and the white cloth ball shrank more and more tightly.The footsteps gradually approached, and he shrank more and more stiffly, until a small food plate was placed in front of him.The female judge sitting opposite Yamabukiri reached out and opened the lid of the box on the plate, and several light yellow cream puffs with a sweet aroma appeared in front of Yamabukiri.

Gudong.

Even though the sound of saliva is weak enough, it can be heard in the quiet room.Seeing that Yamabuchi was about to pass out in shame and embarrassment, the female judge smiled faintly, but strangely did not convey any meaning of ridicule to Yamabuchi:

"Please use it, Yamabugiri. And... I lost my composure earlier, I'm sorry. You are very welcome to Honmaru."

"..."

The white cloth dumpling shook slightly, then fell silent again.The female judge turned around and hugged her legs, resting her head on her knees, quietly watching the lush spring scenery outside the house.It was clearly a spring day when all things were sprouting and competing for beauty, but for some reason, there was a feeling of being extremely familiar with Yamabachi from the female judge.

That is loneliness.

Baibu Tuanzi endured and endured, but his natural concern for his master still prevailed.Like a mouse out of a hole, he quickly reached out his hand to touch a warm puff, but he didn't dare to eat it in front of the female judge, so he had to hold the soft pastry into his palm, as if he could use this to muster his inner desire The courage to talk to her.

After a long time, a low and clear youthful voice sounded in the room:

"...you...what are you thinking?"

The female judge looked at the ground with fine grass sprouts in the courtyard with some ecstasy.Just when Yamabuchi thought she would not answer, she rested her head on the back of her hand and said softly:

"I don't know how to put it... probably just... I really hope that Yamabuchi likes me?..."

Shan Baqie blushed when he heard the words, and the embarrassment disappeared miraculously when he faced the loneliness that was about to overflow from the bones of the female judge.The boy with a knife said in a low voice:

"Me?... I don't think I have anything worthy of your liking."

"...But you are my sword man. Since you are willing to borrow my hand to come to this Honmaru, does it mean that I am at least recognized?" The smile on the female judge's face was very weak, "Since you recognize me, If you are willing to accept my spiritual power, it is my duty to have a good relationship with you."

"Duty...so, 'want me to like you', is this your order?"

"It's not an order, it's a request... Yamabuchi, I'm actually not good at talking." The female judge smiled bitterly: "But if I tell you now, I don't mind that you are a counterfeit at all, I believe Your strength as a swordsman, I am willing to look forward to your performance in Honmaru in the future... Will you believe me because of this, and feel a little comforted?"

"..." This time, Yamabachi was silent for a long time, and when the female judge lowered her eyelashes in despair, he suddenly swallowed the puff that he had been playing with for a long time, and then said in a low voice with a blushing face:

"I... don't know what you are expecting, but at least... you have to take some practical actions to prove it?"

"Fortunately, I don't lack mobility for the time being." The female judge smiled at Yamabuchi, "If you don't mind, please go to the restaurant with me for lunch first. The day after tomorrow is next Monday, and the work of serving as a servant will be handed over to you .”

"..."

"I'm looking forward to Yamabagiri's performance."

"……I see."

At the lunch table, I saw that the female judge had managed to coax back the twisted Yamababa Kiri Kunihiro. The eyes of Izumi Mori Kanesada, who had been beeping softly with Kiyomitsu just now, were almost out of frame, but Horikawa Kunihiro's eyes lit up, and across the dining table Make a gesture of praise to the female judge.The female judge nodded slightly, arranged for Yamabugiri to sit down with the Shinsengumi, patted him on the shoulder and said something in a low voice, then turned around and sat down with the Awataguchi family, who received the most "reputation" today. Arrived at one place.

And at the dining table of Santiao's family, Shiqiewan kept drinking tea; Jin Jian didn't make a sound, just bowed his head silently and scrambled the sauce bibimbap: Wuhe, on the other side, Xiaohuwan, who had witnessed everything but kept smiling... was about to smash all the fried fish pieces in front of him .

"I'm stuffed."

Xiaohuwan didn't even notice what he ate into his stomach just now, he just quickly emptied all the visible things on the dinner plate and stood up.Seeing that he was about to leave, San Riyue looked up, and suddenly said in a manly voice:

"Yeah, I just finished eating too. Elder brother, if you don't mind, let's go together?"

"..." Xiaohumaru looked at the younger brother with a quiet face, but finally did not refuse.He took the lead and walked in front, followed by Sanriyue.Before leaving the door, Xiaohuwan looked casually at the female judge again.Seeing her being hugged by Jin Jian, who was rushing over to join the table, Huan He seemed to be completely unaware of his departure.Xiaohuwan let out a breath of foul air slowly, and walked out the door firmly.

As a result, he successfully missed the smiley look back of the female judge.

"Hey...do you want to wait for the main hall, but the main hall seems very busy these days?" Contrary to the lively restaurant, there is no other blade in the courtyard at this moment.Hearing Sanriyue's fiery words at first, Xiaohumaru stopped, and then slowly lifted up:

"Don't worry about it too much, Zong Jin."

"Ahahahaha~ I'm not meddling, am I?" Mikazuki Zongjin followed Xiaohumaru step by step with a smile, especially aggravating his articulation, "After all, the main hall is also the main hall of 'everyone'~"

Xiaohumaru didn't look back, but his steps on the floor became obviously heavier.Sanri Yuezong was not in a hurry, he just followed his brother step by step.Until Xiaohuwan finally became impatient, and said in a deep voice with sideways eyes:

"Don't follow me anymore, I have a measure."

"Ah, ah, is that so?" Sanri Yuezong touched his chin, and pointed out:

"But why do I only see a cautious and suspicious silly fox who is constantly asking for temptation?"

"..."

The movement of Xiaohumaru stepping up the stairs suddenly stopped.

"But now that the elder brother has expressed his own sense of propriety, the younger brother will stop talking." Xu was afraid that Xiaohuwan would not be bored enough, so Sanri Yuezong, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, rubbed his fingers and added leisurely. said a sentence:

"Well~ But please remember, my lord: she is always the master of 'everyone'. How she behaves in the world now can be seen by all blades."

"And what if, brother, she accidentally misses you with the main hall..."

"'Everyone', may not all feel sorry for it."

Xiaohumaru turned his head suddenly, looked at his younger brother carefully, endured it for a while, then Fang paused and said:

"Zong Jin, you have always been very smart."

"Then, please don't forget, too: Never jump to conclusions about things you haven't experienced yourself."

"After all, many things are never what you can 'see'... so simple."
