Dark Fallen Honmaru Strange Talk [comprehensive]

The plate made a "clang" sound, and after shaking on the ground twice, it finally settled down, lying alone in front of the three people.

One, a plate.

Candlestick cut: "..."

Tsurumaru: "...Pfft, it seems that Kobo's face is not good either."

...I can't take it anymore.

A row of cheerful little veins popped out of Horiguchi Chisato's forehead.

Absolutely can't bear it.

"Come on, cut the candlestick," she smiled, "you give way first."

Candlestick cut sideways to let her go forward, and Qianli tapped with his knuckles in an extremely gentle way.

"You know what I'm going to say, I'll give you three minutes."

It doesn't take 3 minutes to think about it.

Not long after she finished speaking, the door of the cabinet popped open, and the bowls and dishes matching the number of people were pushed out with a clatter.When holding the last one, the action of putting down the plate was obviously full of reluctance and grievances, and after quickly closing the cupboard door, he might have cried somewhere.

"..." Chisato Horiguchi felt a little uneasy about his conscience after a long absence, "I'll return it later."

Tsurumaru laughed until her shoulders were shaking, she gave him a sideways look, "Think about how to pay back your money first."

"Eh--?"

Ignoring his suspected attitude of wanting to renege on the debt, anyway, the contract is there, and you have to pay it back if you don't.Horiguchi Chisato greeted Candlestick Kiri, walked back to the office after leaving the kitchen, and saw the unexpected two people at the door again.

California Kiyomitsu and Yamato Shou'an.

"...Hands together?"

Is it hand-to-hand again?

"Yes." California Qingguang paused, "This is the third time."

The first time was Hasebe who accidentally walked there, the second time was Tsurumaru who was not scared to make a shock, and the third time now, the target may be under the influence, his face is still a bit strange .Yamato Mamoru Anda noticed Horiguchi Chisato's gaze, and his eyes shifted to one side, apparently still rejecting eye contact with her.

"And it's different every time we meet." Chisato Horiguchi, who didn't mind this, turned his gaze away naturally, "Gap girl? A little boy without a face but kicking a ball? This time it's the headless ?”

"Nothing...?"

"Ah, it means 'a monster without a neck'. Like the Gap Girl, it is quite a famous legend among us."

she said thoughtfully.

"I am very concerned about his words." It means that it is not because of her spiritual power, but because she already has a shape, but she just happens to be attracted by spiritual power, "Did he say anything else?"

"……Have."

Yamato Mamoru Anding replied with a slightly stiff voice.

"If he's looking for something, he's not going to run that far... or something."

... The meaning is unclear, but it sounds like it is implying something, which is particularly interesting.

But if it refers to a one-episode one-off thing, there is no reason to explain why he would know...

Chisato Horiguchi paused temporarily to continue thinking deeply.

"I see, thank you." She nodded, "And, the problem now is that it's not safe to hold hands at dusk, right?"

"In view of the fact that there are more and more things-if there are other swords waking up or newcomers coming in the future, it will be too troublesome to repeat it over and over again, and it is easy to miss. Why don't you discuss and summarize the things you need to pay attention to. When the time comes Just show it to them."

California Qingguang responded quickly, and then listened to her again.

"Qing Guang, I want to tell you something."

He subconsciously glanced at Yamato Shou'an.

The latter didn't have any special reaction to the words that obviously distracted him, turned around and walked out the door.

"Master," the door was closed, Qingguang Qingguang sighed, "to calm him—"

"That's exactly what I wanted to say."

Horiguchi Chisato interrupted him with a very calm voice.

"Tomorrow's battle, I consider letting him go."

Faced with the obvious astonishment of California Qingguang, she continued: "In the final analysis, there is a shortage of manpower now, so we can't always let the dagger go to the Japanese war. It's better to let An Ding go than let Tsurumaru go—and, he used to be Honmaru Is he one of the Fusangshen who played the most battles?"

"...It's all said and done, and I can't find a reason to refute it."

"It's okay, what I'm going to say next, you should have a good reason."

"Eh, what?"

"I'll go too."

"No," California Qingguang said without thinking, "I don't agree."

Chisato Horiguchi stared at his expression, "Your attitude of opposing from the very beginning is exactly the same as Hasebe."

"—Hasebe knew before me?"

...The focus of your attention is not right?

"At that time, you led the team to Houshan Mountain." She waved her hand, "You have been there so many times, do you know the terrain there? There are not many places that haven't been searched yet, and it doesn't take much to search it all. time, nothing like last time will happen again."

California Qingguang looked at her fixedly.

"Or am I the captain?"

"If you don't want to, I can ask Hasebe."

"I didn't say that kind of thing." He compromised with great reluctance, "Since you must go, take this with you."

The things handed over from above the desk looked familiar.

It was the Oshou Ji that she gave back then.

Chisato Horiguchi did not answer.

"This thing protects the sword," she was quite puzzled, "it doesn't work for me, and——my problem is not at all caused by physical damage."

"Even if it's just an omamori to protect the sword, it's still an omamori, and at least it has the meaning of protection."

Compared with the real role, more emphasis is on Fusangshen's intention and form for his master.

"And," he still didn't take his hand back, "I hope it can remind you of your starting point."

Chisato Horiguchi stretched out her hand, and Omori fell into her palm.

When she touched the thin cloth wrapping the paper, she found that there was still warmth on it.

At the same time, she had a flash of inspiration and felt that she had caught something.

The next day's outing took place as scheduled.

"Master," Hasebe looked at the thing held in Horiguchi Chisato's arms, "this..."

"what."

She looked down at the doll.

"I borrowed it from Chaos."

Smiling Qing Jiang also looked puzzled, "But why did you bring this puppet with you when you went into battle?"

"Speculation, it's just my speculation," she turned the puppet to herself, "maybe it can help find some clues."

In order to ensure that the sword will not be destroyed, the garrison naturally has a spiritual power that can withstand a fatal injury - this is what she suddenly realized after feeling it yesterday.If her previous conjecture is true again, even if the guard carried by Yiqi Yizhen is destroyed, there should be a little bit of spiritual power left.

She and Fusangshen couldn't feel this level of spiritual power, but it might not be impossible to follow the trail to find the doll where Tsurumaru Kuninaga was located from such a long distance.

"If you find a feeling similar to this kind of spiritual power," she deliberately shook the guard in front of it before, "you must tell me."

The puppet nodded obediently.

Compared with the unfamiliarity at the beginning, after many expeditions, Qingguang of California is already familiar with the use of time-space converter.The white light flashed, it was an unfamiliar sight to Chisato Horiguchi, but it was already very familiar to Fusangshin who had been here several times earlier.

"According to what Foxnosuke said, the location of the retrograde army detected this time," Qingguang Qingguang led the way, "it should be here."

——Speaking of Fox's help.

"Clear light."

Hearing the stable voice, California Qingguang turned his head.

"Ok?"

This fox shikigami was supposed to stay in the Honmaru all the time, but Yamato Moranta hasn't seen it since he woke up again.

"Does Foxnosuke come to Honmaru often?"

California Qingguang said "Ah".

"It used to be there," he replied, "since it's been haunted more and more, it's been sleeping in Shizheng at night."

Yamato Shou'an: "..."

How often is this enough to scare Foxnosuke away——

"Here we are." Qing Jiang, the smiling face with the highest reconnaissance, said first, "Where is the enemy army, go and confirm?"

Yamato Moranda tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.

It is a long-lost actual combat.

Sideways dodging the enemy sword's attack, the blade didn't even have time to touch the corner of his clothes, Yamato Shou'an turned around and slashed towards the back.

"The first fall—"

He snapped the shell imperceptibly.

"—Oooohooohoo!"

The strength of the enemy is not strong, and it is not difficult to wipe them out before they change history.Solve the time-traveling army as quickly as possible, and the time saved can be used to find a phase and a shock-a process that has naturally formed at this time.

"Hey, An Ding," Jia Qingguang recalled what he had inadvertently noticed during the battle, "You were going to shout 'Shou Luo Shi' just now, right? Why did you change it again——"

Yamato Shou'an: "No, you got it wrong."

Kakashi Kiyomitsu looked at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing?" Chisato Horiguchi noticed the two people who were not moving here, "Hurry up and help find them together."

"Yes Yes--"

However, just like countless previous searches, this time also found nothing.

Brushing away the last blade of grass, Horiguchi Chisato straightened up.

Two hours had passed, not to mention that they hadn't seen Yiqi Yizhen's body, even the puppet didn't respond at all, she would just shake her head no matter how she asked.

If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid it will attract the police again.

But this is not enough to be the key to anxiety. What is really anxious is that this is the last place they haven't found before.

If there isn't even a single strike here——

"Master," Hasebe asked her, "do you still want to look for it today?"

"There's still a little time, I'll see where else I can—"

Before he could say "Look", Chisato Horiguchi held the doll in one hand, and took out the map marked with a red cross from his pocket with the other.When the folded paper was pulled out, a paper talisman was also brought out.

It floated and floated, and fell leisurely in the puddle next to it.

Hasebe: "..."

Chisato Horiguchi: "..."

The former scooped it up from the water, Horiguchi Chisato couldn't believe how he made such a mistake.

But it should be okay, the city return talisman has spiritual power, so it shouldn't just be like this——

Her gaze was fixed on the blurred corner of the city return talisman.

Ink, smudged.

"You're lying, this time the ink is not waterproof?" She said in disbelief, "The previous ink can still be used in the rain. Is there something wrong with Wanwu's batch of ink? The quality is so poor and the price is so expensive. If I don't Send that thing to the Government of Time, and it must be stuffed at the Boss Wanwu's house—"

Thinking of some unpleasant past events, Hasebe shuddered reflexively and coughed twice.

Horiguchi was taken aback for a moment, and then he came back to his senses.

...Forget it, there is no solution.

She put the doll aside, and called the only dagger present, "Yakuken."

He was obviously still in the anxiety of not being able to find his brother, but even so, he still came over immediately after hearing the voice of the judge.

"General, what's the matter?"

"Lend me the body."

Yaken didn't understand why he handed over the knife, and in the next second, Chisato Horiguchi drew the knife out of its sheath.

"general--"

"Owner!"

"Nothing." She cut a small cut on her finger, "I just want to mend the spell."

The advanced manual mentioned how to deal with such emergencies, but since it was her first time doing this, the success rate was hard to say.

Fortunately, she remembered the original pattern on that corner.

The bloodstain was fixed on the city return talisman by spiritual power, and Chisato Horiguchi suspected that the position of the pattern had shifted—she couldn't make it so detailed after all.

Give it a try first.

She sighed.

"Come here first today," she called the other swords, "what will happen after that...we'll talk about it when we can go back successfully."

The activation of the City Return Talisman went smoothly, but when the light faded, the surrounding environment seemed very strange.

Are the coordinates wrong again...

Horiguchi Chisato was restless, as expected, she was new to the spell and couldn't restore the spell completely.

"Could it be that we still have to wait for Shizheng to detect abnormal fluctuations—"

"no need."

California Qingguang: "...Huh?"

Unexpectedly, it was Yamato Morita who interrupted the interrogator.

"This is the time-space rift," he said affirmatively, "it's just that it's located far away from the edge of the rift—I've been here once."

That time at Ikedaya.

……indeed.

Chisato Horiguchi thought.

Hasebe used to be a permanent valet, and Candlestick was more in charge of the kitchen. The one who knows the outside world best here is Yamato Shou'an, who played the most battles.

But generally speaking, the city return talisman is locked on Honmaru, how could it end up in such a place——

Chisato Horiguchi felt strange, but seeing Yamato's steady state, he didn't want to say anything at all.

"Then can I trouble you to lead the way?" she asked,

Yamato Morita glanced at him and nodded.

He was leading the way, and Horiguchi Chili was walking, when suddenly he saw the puppet turn its head straight to a completely different direction from before.

"Where are you looking?" she wondered.

"Li," Chisato Horiguchi stopped abruptly, listening to the puppet in his arms continue to say, "Measure."

— 'If he's looking for something, he won't run that far'.

"you."

She called to the fusangshen in front of her to stop.

"Follow me first."

"here?"

Following the location guided by the puppet, this forest looks no different from other mountain forests.

"It should be around here." She put the doll on the ground, fully expecting it to lead the way, but it seemed that even it was confused by the leaves and bushes all over the ground, "It's strange, shouldn't it be easier to find as it gets closer? "

"Let's split up," suggested California Qingguang, "at least this place is much smaller than Houyan Mountain."

It may not really be a one-off.

Chisato Horiguchi thought.

After all, the puppet can't express, what it can feel is only spiritual power, not the exact source.

But in any case, it is always good to catch a glimmer of hope.

Amidst the salsa of rummaging grass leaves, the voice of Smiling Qingjiang suddenly broke the silence.

"Master, is this him?"

——!

Horiguchi Chisato walked over quickly, Yaken's movements were faster than hers, he stared straight at the sword lying in the grass.When Qianli squatted down with them, she saw the familiar swords and swords she had seen on the knife tent.

Although the blade is scarred and covered with blades of grass——

That was indeed a one-shot.

The pride of Yoshimitsu's life.

Chisato Horiguchi flicked away the long grass with his fingers, and saw the Omori that was almost divided into two, with extremely weak spiritual power remaining on it.When she picked up the Royal Shou, she saw the objects below, and finally realized why she had landed here.

It was a City Return Talisman that was soaked in blood and was already somewhat blurred.

What a coincidence.

Her eyes are complicated.

Who would have thought that they would accidentally destroy the city return talisman today and barely land here.

Next to him, Yaken Toshiro, stretched out his hand and hugged Ichiki Ishin's body into his arms.

"Brother Phase One," he said, "is home."

"How do you feel now?"

When the door to the room was pushed open, the people in the room cast their eyes over in unison.

"It's okay," the blue-haired man smiled warmly, "It's all bandaged up."

Chisato Horiguchi tilted his head and looked at the bandages that had been covered under his clothes, and once again realized the difference between Fusangshin and a human body—as long as he is bandaged in this way, he can temporarily recover most of his state.

When he was reawakened by her, he was so seriously injured that he almost fell to the ground immediately, all supported by the cattail heel bone next to him.If the enchantment can be used normally, it can actually be sent in the form of a sword, but at present, it can only be bandaged with a human body. Fortunately, medicine research is much more professional than her.

She closed the door behind her back.

"I told them that we found you on Mount Housan."

The smile faltered for a while, and then he understood.

"The master is worried."

"No." She tilted her head, "However, for the time being, you are desperately trying to come back, if it's not that you don't have enough spiritual power—is it really good to not let them know about this?"

"Do not."

His smile was a bit complicated, "I don't want them to think that their efforts are in vain."

"At the same time, I am also very grateful to the master for helping to take care of the younger brothers when I was away," he said, "Yao Yan told me about it."

Horiguchi Chisato looked at him with a smile.

Even if he had this kind of experience, once he heard that his brothers were safe, he could still treat him with a gentle smile like this——

Is Yiqi Yizhen's character like this?

...But then again, did Yaoken really say everything?

She silently looked at Yaoyan, who understood the meaning in her eyes and shook his head.

Yiqi stared blankly at the eye contact between his younger brother and the judge until the latter spoke again.

"Actually, there's one thing I haven't told you—about this Honmaru."

She took out a notebook and handed it over, "Here are the precautions they summed up."

I received the first issue, and when I opened it, I found that it was covered with all kinds of handwriting.

"Honmaru Safety Rules"

Rule [-]: Unless there is an emergency, travel at night is prohibited.

Rule [-]: Don't turn on the faucet casually after twelve o'clock.

Rule number three: Don't think about blades in the corridor outside your room at night.

Rule number four: If you're expecting a big fright, break the dishes in the kitchen.

Article [-]: Stay cautiously in an empty room.

Someone next to him added a sentence in sparse handwriting - if you accidentally see something, just ignore it, hahaha.

Article [-]: Don’t pick up masks randomly, and don’t wander around in front of the mirror if you pick them up. (I'm talking about you, Tsurumaru Kuninaga)

Article [-]: Don't lead the monster to the kitchen even if you are wandering. (especially Mr. Crane)

Article [-]: It is a forbidden area to play at night. (Twilight too)

Article [-]: Don't shout "Shouluo".

Article [-]: If there is any unexpected situation, you can find Smiling Qingjiang.

The following blank area roughly draws the location of Smiling Aoka's room in the Honmaru. The owner of the room wrote in the same handwriting on the right without hope, if it is not particularly urgent, I hope to avoid overtime, good rest.

One issue, one shock: "..."
