Ordinary Honmaru Chronicle

When the female judge finally came back to her senses, there was no trace of Xiaohumaru in the agency office except for the yellow suit she was wearing.She sat silently and shed tears for a while, then tightened her coat nervously, then picked up her glasses and slowly crawled to the door of the social affairs office, put on her shoes and wobbled towards the direction of Honmaru.

At the beginning, the female judge stumbled a little, but as the expression on her face gradually disappeared, she slowly raised her head and straightened her back a little bit.

When she reached the corridor connecting Honmaru and the backyard, she had re-pinned her long hair, adjusted her clothes, and folded the coat that Kohumaru had covered her into small pieces and tucked it under her arms.

At this moment, except for her slightly swollen eyes, there is no trace of abnormality in her appearance: the fortress has been built again, and she has turned back to that Honmaru. All the blade cognitions are strong and hardworking, and they have returned to normal and can succeed. The judge who is responsible for the operation of the entire Honmaru——

After all, love can be temporarily lost, and the lover can be regained; but she has eased the relationship with the large group of indispensable partners and men with swords who will support each other for a long time in the future, and she can no longer let them worry about disappointment.

Even at this moment her heart...has been eaten away by a terrible sense of self-loathing.

“I was able to do well before, I can do well now, and I will definitely do well in the future!…”

Mumbling all the way to cheer herself up, the female judge finally adjusted her expression before walking to the lodge area, and successfully smiled and whispered good night to the night owls she met by chance.It was just that when she passed by the sanjo house where the lights had been turned off, she subconsciously stopped for a moment, then raised her foot again, and walked unswervingly towards the castle tower.

...Unexpectedly, there is a huge "surprise" quietly waiting for her in the castle tower.

Looking at Mustache, who was leaning on the railing of the stairs on the second floor, looking at her tenderly, the female judge had a splitting headache.She didn't have the slightest intention of opening the barrier in the house to invite Hikakiri to sit in and have a chat, but chose to put Xiaohumaru's coat on the low cabinet at the door for temporary storage of documents, turned around and folded her arms, looking directly at Hikakiri road:

"Higakiri, what do you want?"

Huh? ...Suddenly became very rude... Sure enough, there was some conflict with Kokomaruden, right? ...It seems that now is not a good time...

The thought in mustache's mind turned for a few times, but it didn't show at all on his calm face, and then he even showed a sweet smile, and said softly:

"If it's okay, can't I come to see you?"

"...but I'm a little tired now," the female judge twitched slightly, trying to restrain herself from getting angry with the other party, "If you want to find me, please come back tomorrow."

"Oh, it's so unfeeling~" Seeing the female judge still struggling to endure, the interest in Mustache's eyes grew stronger.He is like a cat that is constantly trying to scratch the live wire, repeatedly testing on the verge of death:

"You are in a bad mood now, and I just want to care about the Patriarch a little bit. Why do you refuse so simply?"

Hearing such familiar words again, the female judge suddenly became dazed:

Are you tired?Hahaha~ Please don't be shy, I just want to help you to rest.Oops, don't you want a princess hug?It's okay too~

Really~ Did you suddenly feel sad again?Na na, don't be sad, let me feed you some water? ...Haha, it's just a suggestion, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it.

Ah... why do you always say I am gentle?Hahahaha, after all, they have been knives for thousands of years... I don't care about most of the things... except for the things about you, the Patriarch~

……

Seeing Higakiri once again put on an innocent and slightly troubled expression with the face she was very familiar with, and suddenly recalled all aspects of Higakiri taking care of herself during the previous depression period, the female judge was shocked: she The empathy towards Higakiri because of her past, coupled with the ambiguous intimacy of Higakiri's words, actually gradually shaken her feelings for Kohomaru step by step!

No wonder Xiaohu acted so painfully... and I was just trying to get away with it just now, and then acted so ugly...

...so stupid...

Thinking of Xiaohuwan who had resolutely left just now, the female judge who was forced to recognize her mistake once again gave a bitter smile, and the unspoken admiration for that person in her heart was completely wiped out because she failed Xiaohuwan's sincerity. overwhelmed by guilt.She collected herself, and Fang said coldly to Mustache:

"I'm sorry, Higakiri... Even if I'm being self-indulgent, I think it's time to make it clear to you: I already have a boyfriend, and my boyfriend is Kohomaru. So, please don't say such things to cause all kinds of troubles. Unnecessary misunderstanding."

"Huh?" Caught off guard by the female judge's flat rejection, Mustache raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked back with great interest: "But, if I guessed correctly, you should have been singled out by him just now." Abandoned sideways, right?"

Suddenly hit the nail on the head by Mustache's blunt words that seemed like an innocent joke, the female judge's eyes were red, and she half-closed her eyes to hide the pain and remorse in her heart, "...this is my private matter, I'll handle it myself."

"Ah, being good at jealousy is not a quality that a good knife should have~ It will become a ghost... So, do you really not consider me?" Mustache cut his eyebrows and eyes, and said indifferently:

"I'm a man with a big sword, I don't mind sharing your love with others~"

"...Sorry, I really mind this." Rao has seen many islanders' extreme "enlightenment" in the relationship between the sexes in the years of getting along, and the female judge is still so "open-minded" by his own mustache The expression shuddered.After being interrupted so suddenly by him, she lost her temper inexplicably.After a moment of silence, the female judge finally sighed helplessly:

"Heh... Sure enough, Xiaohu didn't say anything wrong, and he didn't do anything wrong... What happened before... It's really my fault..."

"Hichiri," the female judge looked at him calmly, but there was no longer the sense of attachment in her eyes when she first saw things and thought about people, "During the time before...thank you for your patience and care. I have never treated you with knee pills Say thank you and I'll make it up today."

"...In addition, I would like to say sorry to you alone: ​​If there is no empathy and acquiescence caused by my past, you will not be misled because of this, and thus...have unnecessary thoughts."

Obviously he was firmly rejected again, but when he heard the judge's choice of words after a long time of deliberation, Mustache's expression became softer, and he even held his head and laughed faintly: "Oh~ Patriarch You still call me gentle? You are the real gentle and kind..."

"Please don't interrupt." After losing the halo bonus, Mustache was no longer as attractive as before in the eyes of the female judge.She scolded her a little, and seeing the other party nod with a smile, Fang said the last sentence seriously:

"All in all, I hope that Higakiri will not be troubled by these unnecessary emotions in the future... From now on, I will try my best to be a good house owner; I also implore Higakiri to put aside the past, and work hard together with Kememaru and other colleagues .”

"...Alas, it seems that I really can't do it if I don't agree with you." Hidekiri blinked, revealing a small canine tooth between his teeth, "Then please rest assured~ I will not lose to other knives Oh!"

"...Thank you," finally dealt with Higakiri smoothly, and after watching him go downstairs, the female judge let out a long breath and entered the room.As soon as the door was closed, the tears she had endured for a long time rolled down in an instant: Although she still couldn't restrain herself from thinking about Xiaohumaru, life had to go on no matter what.

Fortunately, Xiaohumaru once had deep feelings for the female judge, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to say it to death after being trampled on her sincerity by her estranged and ambiguous attitude.Although this one-person love was already teetering on the edge of the cliff, it was extremely lucky, leaving behind a glimmer of hope for recovery.

The female judge leaned against the door and cried silently for a long time, until the early hours of the morning before finally controlling her emotions.When Hasebe came to knock on the door early in the morning of the second day, the female judge had already stayed up all night to drive out the application form for the daggers to go to the Ikedaya battlefield.After going downstairs, she handed it to the surprised Atsuto Shiro, and squeezed out a shallow smile:

"Now that I'm fine, we can continue to advance the front that has been stagnant for a long time in Honmaru."

It's just Xiaohu, please wait for me...
