The pitch-black sky is like a quagmire, the clouds are so thick that they seem to fall, and the light seems to be leaden gray, melting away all the colors, leaving only the row of torii gates that go straight to the top of the mountain, as bright as blood.

Lu Qiaoqiao looked up at the palace on the top of the mountain. The gate was closed tightly. She was standing on the steps. She only needed to go up a few steps to reach the gorgeous palace gate.

But at this moment, its appearance has almost completely changed. The dilapidated palace gate, which was violently closed by California Qingguang, seems to have never been damaged, and even the traces left by the Fusangshen when they fought have disappeared.

It was as if it had suddenly traveled back in time, back to its most beautiful moment.

It's so weird...

The fox-like Shikigami squatted in front of the Honmaru gate, wagging his tail and smiling.

"Master God Judge," it said in a sweet voice, "welcome you back."

"..."

Lu Qiaoqiao was silent for a while, then smiled at it, "The changes here are really great."

"Honmaru has always been like this." Shikigami said, "It has never changed."

It raised its paw, as if sighing: "This is all the result of your hard work. Honmaru has finally returned to its original appearance."

"What do you mean?" Lu Qiaoqiao frowned.

"You awakened 'those'," Shikigami said with a smile, "Oh, your highness also contributed a lot."

"...I didn't do anything?" Lu Qiaoqiao pondered.

"Little fox," she asked calmly, as if it was the first time she saw this fluffy shikigami, "Mr. Mikazuki and the others?"

"Everyone is in Honmaru." Shikigami smiled.

Lu Qiaoqiao was silent for a while, then asked again: "Can I see them?"

"of course can."

The furry shikigami stretched out its claws, as if there were countless voices echoing, "Master God Judge. Look——"

The six swords emerged one by one, still looking dead silent, as if they had always been just unconscious weapons.

"Hey," Shikigami suddenly raised his paw, and suddenly held down the tachi that Mikazuki Zongjin had incarnated, "Sir, what are you doing?"

—was discovered.

Lu Qiaoqiao's heart trembled, and the moment the sword appeared, she tried to call these Fusangshen who had made a contract with her.

Then she felt a chill in her body.

Cheeks, shoulders, wrists, legs... all the parts that are not fatal, but the weakest, seem to slip through the cold iron.

The coolness penetrating into the bone marrow dissipated, and Lu Qiaoqiao felt the severe pain belatedly.

"what--"

She suddenly screamed, her legs went limp, and she fell heavily to the ground, her knees hit the stone steps, causing her to scream again.

Blood spurted out and quickly stained her clothes red. It was as if Lu Qiaoqiao had been slashed all over her body by a knife as fine as a fish scale. The intensity of pain.

As if warning her maliciously.

"It's so dangerous, Lord Judge, you can't use your spiritual power indiscriminately now." Shikigami's voice was still sweet and greasy, "'Those' are all awake, fortunately they didn't hurt your vitals."

Here we go again... 'those'?

What exactly does that mean.

Lu Qiaoqiao raised her head with difficulty, but saw a pair of boots standing in front of her.

Fu Sangshen, dressed in white, stood in front of her, looked down at her, and when he noticed her gaze, he knelt down: "This really scared me."

Fu Sangshen opened his mouth, with a faint cold light in his golden pupils: "You look red and white."

——Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

"...Why, it's you again," Lu Qiaoqiao endured the pain, "I'm...cough cough, I was frightened!"

"Hey," Fu Sangshen said lazily, resting his chin on one hand, "I was the one who said that sentence first."

He stretched out his hand suddenly, and the bottom of the scabbard pressed against the back of Lu Qiaoqiao's hand.

"Hey," Fu Sangshen said calmly, "Stop trying to use spiritual power."

Lu Qiaoqiao let out a small cry of pain, the force on the back of her hand was not heavy, but it deepened her wound again.

Unable to break free, she no longer wasted effort, Lu Qiaoqiao raised her head and stared into Tsurumaru Kuninaga's eyes.

"What do you guys want to do?" she asked, "Now, you should tell me too."

"What exactly does 'those' refer to? Why did Honmaru become like this, and..." Lu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, then she slowly turned her gaze, staring at Fox Nosuke who was squatting beside Fu Sangshen.

"Little fox," she said softly, "Why are you with... Tsurumaru Kuninaga?"

'Tsurumaru Kuninaga has completely fallen into obscurity. '

Lu Qiaoqiao has always remembered this sentence firmly, maybe subconsciously, she feels that this is extremely important information, so she never dared to forget it for a moment.

She pressed her fingers nervously on the steps, her spiritual power was about to move, but she worked extremely hard to restrain it in her body.

From just now, she felt that someone seemed to be watching her.

But now, there are more and more unscrupulous and malicious eyes, and they are getting sharper and sharper.

"you……"

The girl gritted her teeth, and finally asked, "What the hell is it?"

The end sound fell, curling up and dissipating in the silence.

"Master God Judge," the fluffy little fox squinted his eyes as always, and said sweetly, "Don't you remember, I am Foxnosuke. Honmaru's shikigami."

"And Your Highness Tsurumaru...of course it belongs to Honmaru, the initial sword."

"what?"

Lu Qiaoqiao almost retorted without thinking, "Impossible!"

Although she doesn't know much about the function of the God Judge, the sword of the first contract is obviously California Qingguang. According to the usual practice, her initial sword is California Qingguang.

As for Tsurumaru Kuninaga, there was no contract with her at all.

But Shikigami just looked at her with a smile.

Lu Qiaoqiao wanted to say something more, but opened her mouth but swallowed the words back. She slowly recalled it in her mind, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "...Honmaru."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga is the initial sword of 'Honmaru'.

"That's right, Master God Judge," Honosuke jumped to her side, and rubbed the girl's wrist affectionately, the blood immediately dyed the hair at the corners of its eyes red, Shikigami opened his eyes, still smiling, "Great, I'm still worried, the influence of the split soul on your memory has not been eliminated, but fortunately you still remember."

"—I told you that when we first met. Have you finally remembered?"
