Dark Fallen Honmaru Strange Talk [comprehensive]

California Qingguang has never seen the face of the new judge.

Trapped in the warehouse, he's left to guess what's going on outside.That day, the wooden door that had been covered in dust for a long time was reopened, and he had only a little spiritual power left to keep him from fainting, and he couldn't adapt to the sudden light that came in for a while.After being thrown casually on the ground, when he looked up with hazy vision, he only saw a figure from the back, and sporadic words drifted into his ears.

"Ah...forget about such a knife."

"What about Okita Souji's sword? Anyway, it's just a hard-to-use sword. Why should I waste my energy on this kind of sword?"

"Anyway, with a sword, you won't die if you stay here like this, right?"

"—Well, it doesn't matter if you die, just reforge it."

The door of the warehouse fell again, and through the door, someone hurriedly called "Master".They had been companions for so long, Kawasaki Kiyomitsu had no trouble recognizing that it was the voice of Yamato Shou'an.

He also knew that the character of the other party would absolutely not bear that person being edited.They have always been proud of being Okita Souji's sword, but now because he is still lying here, Yamato Shou'an can't even argue, and can only bow his head to the person in charge of the Honmaru.

The possibility that California Kiyomitsu guessed was that Yamato Shouan was summoned after the No.2 God Inquisitor took office.Like them, the same sword faction or the sword that was once shared by one person is always repeating the fate of waiting and being waited for, just like he was waiting for Yamato Shuan Ding, Yamato Shu An Ding may have also looked for him, and then, from other people There heard about him.

Different from the previous one who quit, Yamato Shou'an should have entrusted her to the new master with the expectation that she would care about swords, so he would ask her to come and see him, but he would have such a cold attitude when he really came.

"Wait, Qingguang," as if knowing that it was impossible to chase the god judge back at this time, Yamato Shou'an couldn't disobey the order, but he still retreated and left two words through the door, "I will come again."

—but he didn't.

Trapped in a corner, it is impossible to know what happened in the huge Honmaru. No one knows the truth except those who have experienced it personally.

"I see."

Horiguchi Chisato slowly screwed on the bottle cap.

"How long have you been there?"

From the face of California Qingguang, it is no longer clear that he cares about that time, but Qianli knows that the truth is far from it.

"Probably..." He looked at the painted nails, carefully spreading them out to let them dry naturally, "Maybe three years?"

It's just a flick of a finger for a sword, but it's another thing to sink in pain day and night.

three years—

She gave a low laugh.

"...What a terrible coincidence."

"what?"

"No, nothing."

Having said that, when she was trapped at the station, she suffered more from mental torture, while California Qingguang suffered from both body and mind.Besides... the difference between the two is probably that one is a human being who has died once, and the other is Fu Sangshen who will not die.

"I heard from Foxanosuke." Chisato Horiguchi handed the bottle back, "In general Honmaru, there is a position called valet—wait, I haven't said anything yet, what kind of expression do you have? Unwilling?"

"...Not at all."

Horiguchi Chisato was keenly aware of the reason behind his hesitation.

"Could it be that--"

She asked with interest: "Is it because you have never been a servant?"

Once exposed, California Qingguang no longer hid it. He lay down on the corridor behind him and let out a long breath.

"Yes."

He draws out his tone.Maybe even California Qingguang himself didn't realize that his tone of speech and way of acting were unconsciously moving closer to the past. Whether he admitted it or not, the dark atmosphere that Fu Sangshen had acquired due to his own experience was gradually fading away.

"This kind of thing used to be done by Hasebe."

"But according to his current state, there is no way to let him take over." Thinking of Hasebe who was still there, Horiguchi Chisato couldn't help but have a headache, "You have stayed in this Honmaru at least longer than me, you know There are more than me, and I cannot complete the report to the government by myself."

The handover procedure has been simplified as much as possible, but according to Chisato Horiguchi, it is still terribly cumbersome. Just the content that needs to be reported to the Government of Time by the successor god judge is enough for her to worry about.

"So you need me to be a servant?"

Qianli noticed the emphasis in his words.

"Yes," she repeated, "I need you."

The arm that California Qingguang was about to raise before his eyes stopped.

"Yes—" he sat up nonchalantly, "I see, I will do it."

"Thank you, then please."

"I still have some things to do now, so I won't bother you to go to practice in the hand field." Chisato Horiguchi propped up the floor with one hand, and Shi Shiran stood up from the edge of the edge of the corridor above the ground, "Please accompany me down the mountain later —Mr. Attendant."

California Qingguang was still sitting there, watching the girl's back go away.Just looking at that slender figure, it's hard to imagine how she used sharp and harsh words to judge human beings including herself that night, and to arouse his anger in an attempt to achieve what ordinary people think is even somewhat unreasonable purpose.But what he saw just before the knife light was about to cut off was indeed the look in his eyes that wanted to die.

The person who was appointed as the third judge was a contradictory and eccentric guy.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that just as he was poked at the last straw that was the only last straw that could make him struggle and not sink completely, he had also grasped his weakness just now—but no matter what, that was what he wanted. Listen to the answer.

Dao Ren named California Kiyomitsu grew up in the poor Heyuan. He has been longing to be loved all his life, and all he has done is greedily trying to prove his master's love for him.After hitting a wall one after another, it became obscure and gloomy. He didn't continue to harbor similar hopes, but the situation found an unexpected change.

The vial filled with the viscous liquid was turning in his hand, and the white sunlight shone bright red when it shone in.The emotion that he thought he would never have would be inexplicably aroused by such a small object, and then prompted him to beat around the bush to test whether he could get more. This is Fu Sangshen who has been born in the world for hundreds of years. An impulse that still doesn't fully understand.

After all, even with a long time, obtaining a human body is only a matter of recent years.

The result is always good.

The dripping wound left by the time-traveling army has healed as before, and the battle uniform on his body is clean and tidy. Even the nails that have not been cared for as carefully as before have been repainted with bright red.

——A man like this, at least can be said to be cared about?

The color and shape solidified after air-drying, and California Qingguang was still looking over and over again, as if confirming something.

He inadvertently glimpsed at his feet.

When he found that he could face the God-inspector with a sword, he noticed something was wrong with the barrier in the pill. Facing his questioning, the God-inspector gave a thorough explanation without the slightest concealment.Because of the incompatibility of spiritual power, Honwanuchi always looks like this - he understands this, and can only accept the fact that they have to do all the work in Honwanuchi himself.

The land lacks water and cracks, and the grass is listless and its leaves are withered and yellow.

However, at this moment, California Qingguang saw a little bit of fresh green emerging from the gap between the edge and the land.

The man who had been sitting on the wooden armchair raised his head when he heard the "squeak" of the door.

Seeing the God Judge approaching, he wanted to get up and give way, but was stopped by the other party raising his hand.

"It's okay." Chisato Horiguchi signaled him to continue sitting there, "I have a question for you."

Taking advantage of the gap between approaching, she observed his facial expression.This isn't the first time she's done this after waking Hasebe up.

Such a close look reminded Horiguchi Chisato of the Tsurumaru Kuninaga who happened to meet someone else's house before, and the other party quietly let her look at it - but at least it was out of his own will.

The man's facial features are very deep, and the bridge of his nose is straight. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no expression in the vine-colored pupils.

So far, the three Fusangshen she has seen are all quite outstanding in appearance...

Realizing her thoughts had drifted in completely unrelated directions, Horiguchi Chisato coughed in embarrassment even though the only listener in the room didn't notice her wandering.

"First question," she folded her arms and looked down at him, "who are you?"

"Press and cut the long valley."

"And me?"

"My master."

The respectful honorifics sound numb because of the lack of emotion.

"What is the most important thing to you?"

He replied without hesitation: "The Lord's order."

……what.

Horiguchi Chisato paused for two seconds.

She thought of Foxosuke's interpretation of Hasebe's character, and knew that the answer was not wrong for Hasebe before.

"Then what do you think," she changed the way she asked the question, "what is the most important thing for the interrogator?"

"... Absolutely, loyal."

"Absolutely loyal?"

Qianli repeated it ironically.

"Look at me, Yaki Hasebe. I'm not your previous master. You don't need to treat me like you did to her. I don't want such foolish loyalty." She paused, "I said, 'What do you think', I want to hear your own opinion."

Chisato Horiguchi, who had been staring at his expression all the time, could easily see a trace of looseness in those light purple eyes.

It's just that the looseness is fleeting, hidden in the insensitive look.

It really can't be so simple...

she thought irritably.

"The master's order is my idea," Hasebe bowed his head humbly, "I will carry out every command of the master."

"Then answer the question just as I asked."

The man fell silent suddenly, this time the silence was longer and quieter than the previous ones, which was really difficult for him in his current state.With this in mind, Chisato Horiguchi relaxed the restrictions as appropriate.

"I don't ask you to answer now." She said softly, "You can think about it slowly."

"During this period, you can move freely in this pill. But I will not give you any instructions until you can answer my questions."

I'm afraid this is no less than a punishment for Hasebe, who is like a dead man who can't move an inch without his commandment?

Horiguchi Chisato thought so when she walked out of the room, but she didn't have the slightest intention to go back and take back her life.

contradictory?pain?

This should be inevitable for him.

But the more deeply you are in doubt, the more you are in this kind of contradictory and painful emotions, the more likely you are to break through the shackles that wrap around you.Even a loose corner or a small, insignificant screw is a hopeful step forward.

——In view of her last order to Hasebe, and Foxnosuke who was left behind to monitor Hasebe's status at any time.

The only candidates to go down the mountain to purchase are her and California Qingguang.

Chisato Horiguchi changed her original plan.

California Qingguang didn't know anything about the time when the second term was in office, and Hasebe couldn't ask anything, so she could only turn her target to the remaining swords—knowing what happened at that time, in order to solve Hasebe in turn The problem.

Since she has to wake up other people again, the things she bought last time are not enough at all, and she needs to make more preparations.

"Huh..." California Qingguang yawned lazily, "I know, I know, I will help carry things."

"It's very self-conscious."

"So treat me well—"

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Fu Sangshen, who realized that he had accidentally said what was in his heart, stopped abruptly, and stared at the judge for a long time, until the other party couldn't help but turn his head away.

"Sure enough, you're acting like a baby like you were back then?"

"No--"

"It's useless not to admit it, I heard it."

California Qingguang let out a "tsk".He was walking behind, and from this angle, he could see the side face of the examiner. The corners of her lips were raised so faintly that one would wonder if they had ever been raised there.

But it was better than that fake smile from before.

She seemed to be aware of this too, her expression became blank, and she stroked the corner of her mouth.

"It seems," she murmured, "it's been a long time since I chatted with people like this."

California Qingguang listened quietly.

In fact, why isn't he?

—Then let’s continue talking.

Horiguchi Chisato quickly made a decision.

"You know, I went down the mountain by myself for the first time before," she said, "Foxosuke drew a map for me."

California Qingguang: "..."

His face was full of words.

I don't know if the painting level of every fox is so touching.When he was first summoned, he saw that the previous one drew a self-portrait of himself when he was bored. The fox was painted like a rabbit.But if it's just a map, it should be... okay?

Chisato Horiguchi ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"Circle within circle, nothing looks like a map."

"In short, I feel that I can't find the right way because of that. When I was going to ask the way, someone jumped out from behind me and surprised me." She said thoughtfully, "——It's a very strange person. Where's the guy?"

"Fu Sangshen?"

"Well, he said he was Tsurumaru Kuninaga."

California Qingguang stopped, and the strand of hair tied from the back of his neck to his chest swayed forward with inertia.

"you recognize?"

"No, there is no Tsurumaru in this pill," he walked forward again, "It seems that there were no other god judges around here before."

"Maybe someone else has come here in the past three years."

Chisato Horiguchi didn't take it seriously, "There have been three appointments here, and it's not surprising that there are god judges moving here from other places."

"Too."

"If I hadn't mentioned it just now, I really wouldn't have remembered it. Go back and ask Honosuke. If you can get online with others, you can also ask for some experience."

She was quite repulsed to have contact with normal humans, but after what happened with Hasebe and the conversation just now, she suddenly felt that it would be okay to try.

When the two were walking together, someone was chatting, and they felt that they were traveling much faster than when they were walking alone, and they arrived at Wanwu very quickly.

Push the door and enter, and the wind chime hanging above the door makes a crisp sound of "jingle dingling".

"The shop," Chisato Horiguchi heard the person walking beside mutter in a low voice, "it's really nice."

There are a wide variety of products, from various accessories for dressing up to knife powder and knife oil for polishing, there is no resistance to beautiful knives.

"Tell me if there is anything you want to buy."

Anyway, she brought all the remaining start-up funds this time.

Qianli heard California Qingguang say "uh", but didn't say what he wanted, and she just walked around there until she picked out the things and came back to check out.She lay on the counter, pointed to the object he had been looking at for the longest time behind her, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, is the guard over there useful for anything, or is it just an ordinary amulet?"

"It's not an ordinary amulet," the boss said with a smile, "it can prevent the sword from being destroyed."

prevent being vandalized...

Chisato Horiguchi recalled the state when she first met Kami Kiyomitsu.

No wonder.

She wouldn't let that happen, but—

"Is there any difference between the yellow one and the blue one?"

"The yellow one is the guardian pole, which can restore all vitality, and the blue ordinary guardian is less effective."

"...how about the price?"

Hearing the price quoted by the boss, Horiguchi Chisato's heart bleeds.

"Ah...forget it." She died once, and she understands the truth that "money is something outside the body" better than anyone else. "I have been told since I was a child that I should choose good quality when buying things. Boss, there are Well, get one for me and don't let him see it."

"Welcome next time!"

The boss, who had made another fortune, cheerfully saw off the guests behind him, and Chisato Horiguchi, who pushed open the glass door, felt hopeless when he thought that there was not even a single jingling coin in his wallet.

California Qingguang did as he promised, with one bag in his left hand and one bag in his right. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a hand blocking the way in front of him.He looked at the interrogator suspiciously, and then followed her gaze back.

"Here."

The thing spread on the palm of her hand was made of fine yellow cloth, with delicate patterns embroidered with purple thread, and the four characters "Sword Sword Guard" were neatly tattooed on it.

"The last bit of family wealth," Horiguchi Chisato raised his eyebrows, "In the future, if you have a task to take over, remember to double earn it back for me."
