Dark Fallen Honmaru Strange Talk [comprehensive]

He... thought he might be able to salvage one more time.

Smiling Qing Jiang struggled to get up, looked up and saw a gloved hand stretched out in front of his eyes.

"Ah," after a brief moment of stunnedness, he took that hand, "Thank you."

"fine."

Horiguchi Chisato withdrew the hand that pulled him up, and took off the gloves by the way.Since the last time it was inadvertently verified that directly touching the Demon Slayer Knife would indeed affect the spirit body—even if it was only a negligible sting—everyone, including these spirit knives themselves, had unanimously requested that she Be sure to wear gloves before the magic knife.

She herself felt indifferent.

"It's you," she recalled what happened this morning, "now go take a rest?"

The smiling Qing Jiang who felt that he could still rescue him regained his strength and shook his head solemnly.

"I won't just give up hope."

he said.

"I believe that I will be able to find colleagues who will drag me down—ah no, I can work together at night."

Out of nowhere, petals of enlightenment floated up.In the inexplicable Sakura blowing snow, Candlestick thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say, and finally patted the smiling Qingjiang on the shoulder reassuringly.

Ishikirimaru also patted the other side apologetically.

"Actually, as long as it's my duty," Hasebe didn't miss this opportunity to show his loyalty, "it's completely fine for me to work overtime."

"I can do it too."

California Qingguang chimed in.

"But the two aren't spirit knives, are they?"

Qing Jiang covered his face with a smile and sighed.

"In other words, if you encounter any situation, there is no way to solve it—"

In the end, he still had to act——Smiling Qingjiang had completely seen through the sad nature of the matter.

Could it be that this is fate?

"It's okay, it's okay." On the other side, after listening to the introduction of Kemimaru who recovered from the depressed state, Higiri thought for a moment, nodded and agreed with his younger brother's suggestion, "It's okay to continue to leave it to our brothers for the night watch. Well, Anyway, how about trying it first?"

... Is it really reliable?

All the people who looked at each other in blank dismay, only conveyed these words between their eyes.

An older brother who can't even remember his younger brother's name, and a younger brother whose every move is magnified by the filter, uh——

"Let's do it this way."

Chisato Horiguchi decided.

"At least try it first, you can't put all your pressure on Qingjiang."

"And, the current new regulations - there will be a certain subsidy for special operations at night, depending on the specific number of attendance. Frequent attendance in the short term is not simply doubled, but calculated by geometric growth. Some people have Opinion?"

The Fusangshen present looked at each other, but no one shook their heads.Everyone acquiesced to this subsidy one after another, after all, this is really an extra hard work.

"So."

Hasebe handed over the drawings.

"I'll be counting on the two of you tonight."

"Oh," Higiri opened the folded paper with great interest, "What is this?"

"It's a map."

Hasebe said seriously: "In order to avoid the situation last night from happening again."

Tokiri: "What happened last night?"

"...No," Keimaru silently tried to change the subject, "It's nothing, brother, nothing."

"However, just the light at night, plus in case of emergency..."

Yamato Mamoru raised an objection.

"You can't see clearly, can you?"

"You can bring a flashlight," Candlestick cut said, "It's in this pill."

"I do think..."

California Qingguang suddenly remembered something, "There is a better choice than a flashlight—isn't there that one?"

"I remember, it should be hung here."

After eleven o'clock deliberately, the four of them, including the Genji brothers, walked in the corridor at night.

Although it is usually around this time that various ghosts and ghosts have begun to appear, but like now——

California Qingguang looked at the God Judge on the left, and then at the two demon-slaying knives on the right.

——There is actually a weird sense of security.

"that?"

Following the direction of Mustache's finger, the others also saw the red paper lantern hanging there.

The lamp oil inside had been spilled long ago, and the lantern without a flame looked sickly.It hangs there, its tongue drooping weakly, and it only jerks when it senses that someone is approaching. Its eyes stare at Chisato Horiguchi who is approaching in horror, and it turns according to her position.

Horiguchi Chisato completely ignored its reaction.

"Qing Guang," she said, "help me out."

"Ah, yes."

He had hung up the lantern himself, and California Qingguang had no resistance to contacting him again.After the candle was extinguished, the lantern was no longer as tall as a person before, but the size of a normal lantern.He reached down to remove the lantern and helped her refill the center vessel with oil.

There was a soft "click", and the tip of the lighter in Chisato Horiguchi's hand ignited a bright flame.

The lantern eagerly wanted to move up.

"Hold on."

Chisato Horiguchi moved the lighter away without haste.

"Speaking of which, you are here to help."

The two big round eyes of the lantern stared at her eagerly, and kept shaking up and down.

...Is this a nod?

Chisato Horiguchi, who had the right to accept the other party's default, moved Huo Miao forward.The moment the lamp oil was re-ignited, it suddenly broke away from California Qingguang's hand.

Resurrection in situ!

The bright red lantern jumped up excitedly and hit the ceiling with its head.

--it hurts.

It thought numbly.

The four of them fell into an unspeakable silence as they watched the red paper lantern lightly falling back to the ground.

"Master... this," Keimaru looked hesitantly at the lantern with "unreliable" written on it from head to toe, "can it work?"

"perhaps."

Horiguchi Chisato squatted down, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help poking the top of the lantern.

I don't know if it counts as a head here.

She took a thin rope from California Qingguang, thought for a while, and tied a knot with one end of the rope at the hook above.

"Give."

Keimaru stared at the other end of the rope that was handed over to him, a little dazed.

"In order to prevent it from running away, I'd better tie it up first." Chisato Horiguchi turned to the lantern floating up from the ground, "Do you know the way?"

nod.

"Well, if he gets lost, please show him the way."

The lantern wobbled around in circles, thinking about how it could express its demands when it couldn't speak.

Horiguchi Chisato was also guessing what it wanted to express.

"The lamp oil tube is enough." She said tentatively.

——Happy cooperation!

Keimaru, who was holding the rope, stared blankly at the lantern jumping up and down in high spirits, thinking of the scene described by Qingguang Qingguang, he couldn't help worrying that it would destroy itself again.

At that time, Kai Qingguang and Ishikirimaru hung the lanterns away from everyone's house.Going down now, the first thing you arrive at is the room where he and Yamato are keeping peace.Horiguchi Chisato was farther in the same direction, even though they knew it was unnecessary, the two of them sent the interrogator all the way to the door.

"Good night then," Horiguchi Chisato said, "The night shift has worked hard."

The door closed before his eyes, and Kemaru turned to the red paper lanterns that were still floating in the air, looking around excitedly.

...and my elder brother who was studying the map by the light.

"Ah, that's how it is." Mustache clicked on a spot marked "The Room of the Inquisitor", "Are we here now?"

"As expected of a brother."

Katsumaru clenched his fist expectantly.

"Where do you think we should start?"

"Well."

Hidekiri casually pointed in a direction, "This way."

"No problem!" Kagemaru responded immediately, "Don't worry, brother, I will do the lighting in front!"

Carrying out the mission with his elder brother really made him eager to try. He held the lantern in his hand, and Mustache, who was walking behind, responded to his words with an "um" from time to time.Speaking of the rising point, even the red paper lantern couldn't help turning around curiously, sticking out his tongue, wanting to lick him but not daring.

"So, brother—"

Talking and talking, this time, there was no sound from behind him, and when he realized this, he couldn't help being startled.

He turned around immediately, but there was no sign of mustache.

"...Brother?!"

"Hmm... Honmaru has such a structure."

Higekiri studied the map in his hand, and turned sideways into the corner without raising his head.

"Having been a sword for thousands of years, it's still a little hard to remember."

Putting down the map, he looked up and found that there was no one in front of him, "...huh?"

"Brother—oh, what's his name, anyway, is he lost?"

Thinking of the lantern that the God Judge gave to his younger brother, if his younger brother gets lost, it should be no problem to have that lantern to guide him, Higiri thought reassuringly.

Let him see for himself first.

"Kitchen, tea room," he compared the markings on the map all the way, "Is there a hand match after that?"

It is said that the hands of the hand at night is a high incidence of haunted places.

Thinking this way, Mustache looked inside, but saw nothing.

He rolled the map in his hand into a tube and continued walking.When walking through a corner full of shadows, he noticed a strange aura behind him that could not be ignored, and Hidekiri turned his head sideways.

Standing there was a beautiful young woman in a long trench coat.

——at least the upper half of her face that was not covered by the mask was like this.

"Am I pretty?" she asked.

"Sorry, I didn't catch you."

Hidekiri had a smile on his face and a soft voice.

"Can you say that again, please?"
