[Touken Ranbu] Asahi

"The main hall and His Royal Highness Bailu will visit the house in the afternoon of the next day, please let me know."

After stuffing the wooden box into Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada's hand, Yamabagiri, who had conveyed the message, turned and left. Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada called him a few times behind him without turning back.

"It's okay, Guangzhong, just accept it."

Hearing the commotion, Yamato Shou Anding came up from behind.

"I know that guy, he is a servant of the owner's friend's house."

"This one is just as bad-tempered."

Candlestick Kiri Guangzhong sighed, with a look of melancholy unique to Mama.

"..." It's enough for you to take care of the one in this pill!

Yamato Mamoruan, who didn't want to start a conversation, pretended not to hear and opened the wooden box sent by the other party.The palace dolls representing the emperor and empress immediately came into view.

"It's really gorgeous..."

The exquisite costumes on the dolls made Yamato Shou Anding sigh in admiration.

"But what are they doing with this?"

"Probably for the Hina Festival...ah, the day after tomorrow is March [-]rd!"

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong groaned and touched his chin.

"In this way, we need to prepare chirashi sushi rice. There are also Hana sushi, sakura mochi, sticky rice cakes, rice cakes, white wine, clam soup, fresh fish and seafood..."

While stretching out his fingers to gesture, he counted the required ingredients.Candlestick cut Guangzhong solemnly decided to go to Wanwu for emergency shopping later.

"Then I took this in first? I just remember to put it on, right?"

Yamato Morita held the box and asked.

"It was supposed to pick an auspicious day for the arrangement, but now there is not so much time."

Seeing that Yamato Shou'an didn't seem to understand very well, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada gave a worried reassurance.

"Remember not to finish it all at once, and don't leave it until the day before the festival to arrange it."

"..."

There are only two dolls in total, one head office a day.

I found Qingguang, who was free and idle, as a helper. In order to prevent himself from making mistakes, Yamato Shou'an also asked several elderly people in Honmaru for advice.

"Hahaha, I know this grandpa, it's Peach Festival, right?"

Mikazuki Zongjin smiled and looked at the emperor dolls that had been placed in the hall.

"In the beginning, it was just a game of changing clothes for dolls among noble girls. Time flies so fast hahaha..."

"It's so empty..."

On the side, California Qingguang frowned as he looked at the red cloth shelf on the seventh floor in front of him - the dolls in their hands were only enough to fill one floor.

"Although an odd number is more auspicious, isn't it too little to put only one floor?"

"No way, after all, we only knew about it two days in advance, and it's too late to prepare now."

Yamato Mamoruan looked at the empty shelves and decided to fill them up next year.

"Leave this kind of thing to us, Awataguchi~"

Kai Qingguang's shoulders sank, and when he turned his head, he saw Ranto Shiro appearing from nowhere.He seemed to have premeditated it, and with a smile, he took out the Jiro Tachi and the small dolls of Fudo Yukimitsu from behind.

"This is a doll I made for the general before. I originally wanted to make a complete knife tent before releasing it, but now it seems that it can be used~"

"If you change the doll's clothes, it can be used as a Hina Festival doll~"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Qingguang looked at the small doll in the opponent's hand, the hairstyle and facial expression were exquisite and cute.

"Do you have mine?"

"Ah, yes~ There are also stable ones~"

When asked this question, the smile on Luan's face widened inexplicably.

"But please don't poke randomly. Although the hands and feet can move in a small range, the knife cannot be pulled out."

"Oh……"

California Qingguang withdrew his hand resentfully, his voice sounded a bit regretful, but in the next second he cheered up.While pulling Anding, he yelled to let Luan show them around.

This time, Luan did what he wanted very simply.He generously led them to a small tea room, where the daggers of the Awataguchi faction were making doll costumes with a clear division of labor.

Luan carefully bypassed the brothers who were sitting on the ground rushing to work, took out a large box from the second floor of the innermost cabinet, and found a Qingguang doll wearing only a red loincloth and a white loincloth from it. stable doll.

"...So that box is filled with loincloths?"

Yamato Moran's eyes were dead for a second.

"It's really annoying, clear that guy's loincloth...I said you should wear a scarf anyway."

"Because it's troublesome to make clothes~ Aren't we rushing to make clothes now~"

Sticking out his tongue indiscriminately, his appearance is so cute that people can't help but forgive him for all his mistakes.

"Correct me, the loincloth is actually your scarf, because it's easy to tie and it's not easy to fall off. The other dolls are still naked."

"...You show me how to look directly at things like scarves from now on."

Yamato Morita covered his face and groaned.

"I'm cute in the loincloth too."

I don't know if I didn't hear clearly, but California Qingguang quickly accepted the setting of the loincloth.He looked at the doll carefully, flipping it up and down in surprise.

"The nail polish is actually quite delicate!"

"Ah, I'm in charge of makeup and coloring details~"

A look of pride.

"It's really good to be recognized by the real body."

"Speaking of which, at most fifteen dolls are needed, right?"

Yamato Mamoru looked around at Awataguchi who were rushing to work, and suddenly said this sentence.

"Emperor and Empress, three court ladies, two ministers and one attendant, five musicians, three servants..."

"How should it be distributed?"

"Ah... I realized it so soon~"

Luan put his index finger on his lips, smiling badly.

"This is something we, Awataguchi decided internally~"

*****

Given that the entire room was full of Awataguchi's knives, forceful coercion was unrealistic.In the end, the Okita group bribed Luan's pocket money for one month and Madang Fan for two weeks.

After the news leaked, the room of the Awataguchi faction was even more lively than ever.

At the end of the day, Bodo hugged Xiao Shangao's little judge and smiled idiotically.

The dolls of the Emperor and Empress on the first floor were placed first.

In order to keep the style of painting consistent, instead of putting up the dolls sent by other family Shinshin, Ichiki dolls wearing emperor costumes and Mikazuki Munejin dolls wearing Tianhou costumes were put on.

The puppet in the first stage of Yizhen looks like it was before Zaiba. It seems to be a little taller than Mikami Tsukimune beside him. His long hair is tied behind his head. His serious expression is daunting, and his whole body is full of the world. A burst of domineering.

In comparison, Mikazuki Zongjin's doll is much softer.A fan covered the lower half of his face, his slightly squinted eyes were half a smile, and the golden crescent could still be seen faintly.

Qianyu suddenly felt that his Awataguchi faction was full of empathy——

These two people are so matched that they don't have the slightest peacekeeping look on their faces!

Chaoan quietly looked at the judge, and relaxed after seeing that she seemed very satisfied.

These two positions should have been filled by the only two actually installed Five Swords of Heaven, but Awataguchi is the biggest boss who controls everything, so the highest masterpiece of the Awataguchi faction must be the emperor doll in the first phase. Negotiable!

As for Sanri Yue Zongjin...he is the most beautiful, isn't he?When those eyes implying Sanriyue were colored out, even Luan couldn't help complaining that even a puppet would bully others' appearance, which was obviously perfect after the day.

——Well, in fact, the main reason is that Suzumaru Koji is so easy to talk in comparison_(:3」∠)_

A few hours later, on the second floor, there are three palace maid puppets holding wine glasses and wine jugs.

Honmaru happens to have three alcoholics.Ranked according to height are Jiro Tachi, Japan and Fudo Yukimitsu.

In order to keep the makeup uniform, Ranto Shiro friendly painted Jiro's charming red eyes on the dolls of Fudo Yukimitsu and Japan, and tied their hair behind with ribbons like a court lady.

The tall ones sit on both sides, and the short ones squat in the middle... Well, let alone, that picture is really beautiful.

——And the above sentence pattern is not irony.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when the two floors were arranged, and Qianyu was urged to go back to the room to sleep.When I woke up the next day, the dolls had already been placed on the fourth floor.

The third floor is a five-member band playing musical instruments, consisting of Kasen Kanesada, Kohomaru, Eyuki Zuomonji, Smiling Aoie, and Suzumaru Tsuneji who was squeezed out of the emperor's position.

In terms of facial expressions, Gexian is the most intoxicated, Qingjiang is the most intoxicated, and Jiang Xue is the most unhappy.

If you don't count the song immortals, overall it is a team with terrible hair volume.

Perhaps it can be regarded as a very elegant combination...?

Qian Yu sighed out the word Fengya, and Izumi Mori Kanesada, who was not on the list, managed to suppress his anger and exploded——

"This is definitely a shady scene! A shady scene!"

Seeing Asatama, Izumi Mori Kanesada, who was not on the list, exploded even more.He broke away from Horikawa in an instant, and held his doll in front of Qianyu with an expression of disbelief.

"A powerful, handsome, popular sword with many fans like me actually failed the ranking! My lord, please comment!"

"Sorry, Mr. Kane is too excited..."

Before Asatama called for help, Horikawa Kunihiro pulled Izumi Mori Kanesada away in time.

"Mr. Jian, don't make trouble with the lord."

Horikawa Kunihiro's voice was extremely gentle.

"It's because Mr. Kane's doll is so handsome, I couldn't help but keep it."

"Ah, so that's the case, Horikawa blames you!"

"That's right...but Kane-san is too handsome, so there's nothing I can do about it."

……

……

Watching Horikawa Kunihiro take Izumi Mori Kanesada out of the formation.After a sigh of relief, Qianyu set his sights on the fourth shelf.

On the fourth floor are old ministers and young ministers.The dolls of Umaru and Tsurumaru are respectively in charge.

The hair of Yingmaru's doll has been extended, and the slightly curly long hair is paired with the minister's uniform of the Heian-kyo period, which has a special flavor.And Tsurumaru on the side... I don't know if it brought a personal impression, Qian Yu always felt that the puppet just wore the formal official uniform with a loose and undeserved taste.

...Forget it, he is not a serious knife _(:3」∠)_

Is the selection based on age this time...?Qian Yu thought curiously.

In that case, Umaru is indeed the oldest.But the youngest... No matter what, it couldn't be Tsurumaru.

But looking at the slightly loose clothes on the Tsurumaru doll... Asayu really felt that Kazumi Mori Kanesada was actually squeezed out on the fourth floor.

...Don't tell him _(:3」∠)_

Among the dolls of Tsurumaru and Umaru are diamond-shaped sticky cakes and colorful rice cakes. They are colorful and delicious from Candeki Kiri Mitsutada, and Asagi, who has not eaten breakfast, looks a little hungry.

The breakfast of the day did not disappoint either. Although there was no chirashi sushi rice because it was the holiday tomorrow, it was produced by Mitsutada after all—a delicacy that one could not help feeling grateful for.

After that, Qianyu ran around here and there, and then came to the hall from time to time to watch the placement of dolls.Spinning like a little spinning top, almost every blade felt her excitement and joy.

——Super happy since last night!

After finally waiting until the afternoon, the fifth floor was put up.

The three servants on the fifth floor are the normal version of "I will wait as long as you want me to wait as long as you come back to pick me up" Hasebe, who is sitting on his knees with a blushing face of mystery, "Master, you can do whatever you want" Hasebe, and Hasebe with the murderous expression of "I want you to die, you must die" with Zhenjian Baoyi...

Qianyu, who was still looking forward to it, suddenly became indescribable.

The shoulders suddenly sank, and Qianyu, who had not recovered from the shock, turned her head and saw the big face of Tsurumaru Kuninaga who was bending over and resting her chin on her shoulders.

"Are you scared?"

He asked with a face of life and death.

……

……

Good thing it was misplaced - mischievous Tsurumaru was forked out and canceled for dinner tempura.

Except for the normal version of Hasebe who was kept and stripped naked and put on a servant's costume, the other two were replaced by the gentle Yamato Shou'an and the passionate California Kiyomitsu.

——I don’t know why, but when I saw them holding Neifan farm tools and brooms, I felt that the style of painting suddenly became normal.

In the evening, the sixth and seventh floors were filled with small furniture and vehicles such as bullock carts.The doll stand is full at once.

Qianyu looked curiously at the small and exquisite dressing table, and the mirror on it vaguely reflected her appearance.

"If the general likes it, we can ask brother Yiqi to make a big one for the master!"

The skilled craftsmen of Awataguchi spoke seductive words on the side.

But for some reason, Qian Yu shook her head at them.

"No need."

She put her palm on her heart and smiled very cutely at them.

"Here, I am very satisfied."

*****

In the early morning of March [-]rd, Qianyu was woken up by a crackling sound, and before she even opened her eyes, she was pulled out of the bed by Ranto Shiro and Jiro Tachi.The two guys had a clear division of labor and came up for a while to freshen up.

Qianyu was played with for a while, only to realize that it was Furisode sent along with the doll by Aya and the others two days ago.

No wonder it has been worn for so long... She thought in a daze.

When she almost woke up, she was carried by Jiro Tachi to the front of the mirror.

The girl in the mirror is wearing pink floral vibrating sleeves, her carefully coiled hair is adorned with pink silk flowers, even though half of her face is covered by the spirit paper, she still looks very cute...

——Hey, wait, what's going on with this spirit paper?

Around the position of the eyes, someone drew two curved lines with a black pen at some point, like the smiling eyes of a cartoon character.

——Ah, it seems that I can see the lines of suspected eyelashes _(:3」∠)_

Although it doesn't affect the vision, it looks really weird... Qianyu wiped it with her hand, and was a little frustrated to find that it couldn't be wiped off.

"When we came to your room in the morning, we saw His Majesty Tsurumaru furtively painting something on the Lord's face."

"Although he tried his best to argue that he wanted to make the Lord look happier, but don't worry, we have already sent him into the room."

"..."

Qianyu thought about it, and decided to go to the hand room to see Tsurumaru first.After all, it's really not good to be beaten into the house during the festival.

Injected with spiritual power, she quickly finished the opponent's hand.

Facing the evil Tsurumaru, Asama held back for a long time before uttering a word.

"...I'm not blind."

"I know, but it's strange that there is always a piece missing from the eye."

He is grinning.

"I want to see you smile too."

"Is there no way to wipe it off..."

she asked rather depressed.

"No way, I went to buy that special pen."

"But if you kiss me, I'll sue..."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga raised his eyes triumphantly, and stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

The girl in front of her didn't know when she had taken off the spirit paper, her crow-feather-like pupils stared at him quietly, and made a small "huh?" because of his sudden interruption of words.

When those eyes are on you, no one will be the first to look away.

——Almost even the breath was taken away along with the sound.

Look at me, look at me.

Those eyes said so, or the person being watched was monologue inwardly.

It's like a gift and a curse.

"You, why did you take it off all of a sudden!"

He looked away with difficulty, the shock caused by the unbalanced heart rate made Tsurumaru Kuninaga's voice uncontrollably louder.If he was really a crane, his wings would probably have blown up.

"If it gets dirty, you can't wear it"

The girl looked at him suspiciously, her words were innocent and natural.

"And everyone is a good person."

When she said this, her eyes flickered, her long and dense eyelashes were like the finest bird feathers, and her warm and soft gaze shone.All of a sudden, that lovely smile was magnified thousands of times.

This made Tsurumaru Kuninaga, whose heart was beating non-stop, suddenly wondered if he had made a wrong choice.

——He didn't want to share such a smile with others at all.

But before he found the cleaning tools and coaxed the judge to put the spirit paper back, Ran and Jiro, who couldn't wait, pushed the door open and entered.

They hugged the god judge in amazement for a long time, and shouted excitedly that they wanted to put makeup on the god judge to surprise everyone, and finally they didn't forget to turn around and give him a "kill beautiful" before going out. thumbs up.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga: ..._(:3」∠)_

He didn't want to say anything.He is very tired.

Let him lie on the ground alone.

*****

Ran and Jiro still didn't put makeup on Asama in the end.

They planned to try on the eye makeup with the red corners first, but they were stunned by Qian Yu who opened his eyes just after finishing the painting.

——with an alluring red that made that eye too dark and too bright.

He froze for a few seconds with the pen indiscriminately, and then wiped it off for her with a blushing face.

Obviously I didn't think it before, the master looks really dangerous.

At first I wanted to put on some rouge and lip balm or something, but in the end it was all melted and removed.

——Really, what kind of makeup do kids wear?

——That's right, children don't need makeup...!

Silently repeating it several times in my heart, Luan reluctantly convinced himself.

It took half an hour to get used to the messy face and mentality, and he pulled Jiro and Asatama who was sitting on each other's arms full of energy to give everyone a surprise.

What everyone thinks, Qianyu doesn't know.But she knew she was having a really good day.

In the morning, I followed Ishikirimaru to test my fortune and got a lucky lottery.

In the afternoon, I followed the big sisters to hold the event of releasing dolls, and the big sisters specially changed into priestess costumes and held a solemn ceremony with her.Paper-painted dolls are thrown into the river, and elders write blessings on the base.

At night, I went back to watch the beautiful fireworks and night cherry blossoms.

— What a great day!

After playing for a day, Asama went back to the room early to go to sleep, while Yamato Moransumi took California Qingguang to remove all the dolls from the shelf and put them into boxes after twelve o'clock.

"Why did you charge in such a hurry..."

Qingguang yawned, looking terribly sleepy.

Although he kept complaining like this, he didn't refuse when he was asked.

"Placing it for too long is said to affect the marriage."

While talking, An Ding carefully took off the doll, tidied it up and put it in the box properly.

"Oh, put it away quickly, otherwise the master will not be able to marry..."

Qing Guang suddenly stopped talking.He looked at the small dressing table in his hand, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Although the master looks young, but human beings will mature and grow up in the blink of an eye.Don't know which nasty guy will be cheaper in the future...

Thinking of this, Qingguang felt that his arm was as heavy as lead.

——I don’t want to clean up at all!

"Hey, move quickly!"

Yamato Shou'an, who had already cleaned up the first two floors, urged dissatisfiedly, and he kicked him while holding something in his hand.

"Qingguang, are you here to help or to be a pillar!"

Qingguang responded immediately.He looked at An Ning carefully, and when he found An Ning's normal expression and even a little bit of impatience, he suddenly became more depressed.

"An Ding, you won't feel angry, is it a pity or not reconciled..."

Leaning nonchalantly on the edge of the shelf, he poked his puppet with his hand once and for all.

"Master is so innocent, so cute, and even touches my head and praises my beauty, which makes me feel loved..."

"I, as long as I think that my master will marry someone one day, I feel terrible... Very, very, I wish I could kill that man now!"

He gritted his teeth, angrily made two false slashes with his fingers.

"What about calming you? Why are you so calm. Don't you care?"

"Qingguang, you talk a lot of nonsense."

Yamato Moran Ding didn't even look at him, he just took away the three alcoholic court ladies.

"So what if I don't care, I have no right to interfere with the master's choice. Instead of imposing future troubles on me now, it's better to wait until that day comes and decide whether to raise the knife."

He raised his head and smiled at Qingguang.

"I promise you will lose your head with one blow~"

"...An Ding, you changed your face just now, right?"

Qingguang was taken aback by the maniac smile of the other party, and when he looked over again, the other party had turned around and started to clean up the third floor.

With a sigh, Qingguang finally packed up.

"When I first heard that Awataguchi and the others decided on the role of the puppet, I thought they were going to reserve the show... I didn't expect it, but this time it was unexpectedly fair."

Qingguang put away the bottom two layers of ornaments, and put them into the box one by one swiftly.

"The Awataguchi faction actually only occupied one stage this time!"

"Probably because it is better to be held in the hands of the owner all the time than to be placed on the red cloth at short important moments."

An Ding wrapped the Shuzhuwan puppet's hair with cloth and wrapped it around the limbs, but after looking at the too long strips of cloth, he continued to wrap it around.

"The dolls on the Hina Festival can only be displayed once a year."

"Ah... how cunning."

Qingguang poked his doll's cheek with his face propped up.

"My doll is so cute, it's such a pity that it has been lying in the dark alley... Ah, I don't want to put it away at all!"

“California Clear Light!”

"Yes, that's all I said..."

Only Qingguang and An Ding were left without putting away the dolls.Reluctantly, he put himself and An Ning's dolls in the box one by one.

"Next time, we must put you out earlier!"

"See you next year."

He said and closed the box.

*****

[small theater]

"Are, are you together...?"

Facing the young man who made such a request in front of him, the adult Qianyu suddenly opened up a little bit——

"So, is it like Sanriyue and Brother Yiqi?"

"Eh……?"

The other party was taken aback.

"If you're talking about husband and wife knife..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qianyu who was eager to ask for proof.

"Is it like Qingguang and An Ding?"

"Eh?" A good gay friend?

"Nagasumi and Hachisuka?"

"Huh?" Could it be that they wanted to fight...?

"Is it Tsurumaru and Brother Ichiki?"

"..." The man who knew the situation of Honmaru looked at her with dead eyes.

——I just asked how much hatred you have?

"……no."

He gritted his teeth and spit out these two words with a complicated face.

"Oh……"

Qianyu responded obediently, and did not make a sound anymore.

——The orifice closed again without a sound.

The author has something to say:

Isn’t this chapter very thick and long, although I’m lazy to summarize many things in one sentence 2333

I finally finished

Don't hit me, after all, it was a bloody work for a while. I didn't expect that I could write so long.

It is all thanks to everyone’s support that I can write it up to now. The preset few stalks have been used up long before Heihe’s article. The current process is really to write down when I think of something that can be written. Sometimes I think it’s incredible _(:зゝ∠)_ of

Maybe if you work hard, you can keep the weekly update, but the author really has to go back to the homework to catch up with the progress. Whether you die at the end of the term depends on this month.

The result of writing wherever I think of is that the writing style has disappeared along the way, but the cuteness has risen so frighteningly that I don’t even know myself anymore.

All of a sudden, I talked about a long paragraph without knowing what I was talking about... There is almost no place to say important things——

Thank you for your company all the time. Most of the time, it is your comments that give me the motivation to expand from three hundred to three thousand.

You are all my little angels

— Super, love you guys.
