Ordinary Honmaru Chronicle

Even without drinking, this rare reunion dinner lasted until 10:30 in the evening.Seeing that the daggers who had finally fallen asleep during the night battle began to yawn one after another, and once again received the distress signal from the first phase, the female judge rolled her eyes and coaxed Hakata, who had already swayed and was about to fall on her:

"It's getting late, everyone go to bed."

"Oh, about the summer festival... Master, you haven't agreed yet... You don't need to save money this time, you can play whatever you want..." Confused Bodo still insisted on bargaining with the female judge.Seeing that he was about to pull the hook with dim eyes, afraid that he would arouse the interest of Ai Ran who kept yawning, the female judge quickly hooked his fingers:

"Hey, I promise, go back to sleep, otherwise Minghu will be worried in the first episode."

"... Huhu..." But her legs sank, and half of Bodo's blade was already lying on her lap and fell asleep.The female judge was about to try to hug him, but Gu Gu had already nimbly approached him from behind, and carefully supported Bodo into her arms.He nodded to the female judge, blinked his purple eyes, and said softly:

"I come."

"Thank you." The female judge also responded in a low voice.

Gu Gu picked up Bodo and stood up. Before leaving, he suddenly looked back at the female judge again, and there was a rare warmth in his usually cold and flat voice:

"Even if you are sick, being able to accompany you to recover together... This is also a precious memory, and I will cherish it."

"Hmm." The female judge froze for a moment, then answered with a smile.She sat still and bid farewell to the drowsy little dagger and the parents who left the stage first because they had to take care of their children, and then gently persuaded the rest of them to go back.Half an hour later, I cut and put away the last bowl with the candlestick, turned off the lights in the dining room and closed the door.The female judge asked the Genji brothers to go back to the waiter's room first, and she quietly went back to the courtyard to change a pair of shoes, and then searched for Xiaohumaru in the main pill.

There are no conference rooms.

The kitchen does not.

There is no hand entry.

In the lodge area...nor.

The female judge scratched her hair anxiously, and planned to go to the gazebo from the small courtyard to have a look.Just when she stepped onto the corridor, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and then, Qingjiang's deep and hoarse laughter came into the ears of the female judge:

"...I am waiting for you here."

"Qing Jiang?" The female judge's heart skipped a beat: Like the coquettish California Qingguang, Qing Jiang with a glib, smiling face is also the type that she struggles with when dealing with it.Fortunately, Ishikirimaru had told her about Qing Jiang's experience. In the future, Qing Jiang, who was often arranged to help the shrine, was much more relaxed than in the initial period.Seeing that the master is still pretending to be calm, the smiling Qing Jiang laughed again:

"Ah, ah, did you come out to look for him just after a little relief? You really love to worry."

"Ah, could it be that little fox..." The female judge paused for a moment, then looked expectantly at the smiling Qing Jiang.Looking at her beautiful eyes that suddenly lit up under the moonlight, Qing Jiang smiled slightly, and couldn't bear to hide and tease her anymore:

"After all, it's a sword related to God Inari~ He's over there at the shrine."

"Thank you very much." Seeing the female judge bowing slightly to herself, Qing Jiang touched her lips with a smile, and added meaningfully: "It's interesting that the sword, which is clearly hammered by the gods, actually needs a shrine Time for consolation."

The female judge only stayed for a moment, but the smiling Qing Jiang had already left with a smile.She turned around on the spot, and finally ran towards the shrine in the backyard in a hurry.

Compared with the building scale of Honmaru, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the small shrine built in the backyard is not so big except that it is a bit taller: except for a main hall located deep in the back mountain, the worshiping shrine connected to the courtyard of Honmaru Both the hall and the social affairs office have only one appearance.In the clear night, the female examiner crossed a large vegetable field with one deep foot and one shallow foot, walked around a large sheltering short tree and climbed some short stone steps, and passed through the empty worship hall, she finally I came to this place that I would never take the initiative to go to on weekdays.

Standing on the steps, looking at the social affairs office on the right side of the small stone platform, with the closed door behind two faint stone lamps, the female judge hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand and tried knocked on the door:

"Little fox, are you in there?"

There was no blade in the hall to answer.

The female judge hesitated for a moment, thinking of the dinner that Xiaohumaru was not present just now, she still took the initiative to open the door.

In the social affairs office that I just entered, the partition door at the back was pulled open by a blade.Hearing the female judge's footsteps as she entered the house, the man in yellow, who was leaning on the hut with folded arms not far away, seemed to be admiring the fireflies behind the house, shook his ear-shaped white hair, but did not turn his head.

"Xiaohu, you are here, why didn't you go to dinner just now?" The female judge asked softly while taking a few steps forward, wanting to sit beside Xiaohuwan.

Xiaohumaru suddenly supported the floor and stood up nimbly, taking the initiative to avoid the female judge who was bending over.Then he turned his head and glanced at her inside the social affairs office, and said in a low voice:

"...Ah, it's the master."

"Xiaohu, your mood is not right." In the dimly lit social affairs office, the female judge's voice became softer, with a bit of flattery that she didn't notice, but it sounded harsh to Xiaohuwan, "That... is there anything I can do?"

"Master," Xiaohumaru said suddenly, "How do you feel now?"

"Me?" The female judge touched her arm, a little puzzled, but she still whispered, "Not bad?"

"When you were unwell before, Xiaohu was very worried about you."

"I'm sorry for making Xiaohu worry. I'm fine now, and I won't bother you so much anymore."

"Xiaohu has never felt that it is hard work to take care of you. In fact, Xiaohu is still a little sad: after all, when you need support the most, it is not me who is by your side and the blade of your recovery... .”

This time the female judge was silent for a moment, then she pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be sad about such a trivial matter... Xiaohu is different from other blades to me."

"Does the master think so?" Xiaohumaru fixedly glanced at the female judge after hearing the words, "Then master, what do you think is different between Xiaohu and other blades...?"

"Oh?" The female judge was suddenly stopped by the question, she squeezed her palms a little at a loss, and then replied cautiously: "I, we are lovers after all..."

But Xiaohumaru didn't answer the question, he stared stubbornly into the female judge's eyes, and asked again: "Then let's change the way of asking. What do you think, Master, is there any difference between Xiaohu and Hikiri-san?" Woolen cloth?"

……

"Please answer Little Fox, Master."

……

"I have been waiting for your answer."
