Inquisitor's Melancholy

The sun sets, leaving behind a ray of sunlight that gradually fades on the land. The ice and snow have melted, but the temperature is still very low. A small stove is raised at the door of the room, and occasionally there will be a "crack" or two in the warm red light. With the sound of firewood burning, Yaki Hasebe stood in Li Xian's living room, walking around restlessly.

It's been a whole day, the lord woke up several times in the middle, but he didn't say anything, his eyes were very dazed, and there was nothing in the black deep pool.

What happened to the lord?

Could it be that... will he die?

All along, the lord has treated them tenderly. When they come back from the battlefield with scars, the lord will immediately send them to the repair workshop for treatment. The lord will not heave a sigh of relief until their injuries are healed.

The Lord is so concerned about them, but now he can't do anything.

hateful.

"Oh Hasebe, stop walking back and forth, the floor is about to be crushed by you." Originally, Qingguang Qingguang was very upset because of Lixian's illness, but he saw Yaki Hasebe walking back and forth Walking, the sound of him stepping on the wooden floor could not stop coming from the whole room, and Jia Qingguang became even more irritable.

Glancing worriedly at Lixian who looked much better than before on the bed, but still hadn't woken up, Jia Qingguang said again: "My lord needs to be quiet now, Hasebe, you should go back to your room first. I can't let you take care of the lord at night."

"Then how can I do it..." Before Kakiri Hasebe could refute anything, Kai Qingguang continued: "The lord will not want you to stay awake because of him! Hasebe, since the lord fell into the water, you I have been tense all the time, not to mention resting, I didn’t even close my eyes and take a nap, did I?”

California Kiyomitsu understands Hasebe's feelings for the lord. Like himself, he longs for the lord's love.

To them, the lord is more important than anyone else, for the sake of the lord, they would not hesitate to give up their own lives.

However, as the sword that has stayed with the lord for the longest time, California Qingguang understands that the lord also attaches great importance to them.When they first entered the battle, Honmaru didn't have many swordsmen, and the disparity in strength made it extremely difficult for them to fight the time retrograde army, and they returned with serious injuries several times.

At that time he was appointed by the lord

The captain of the first unit, he thought his duty was to be ordered by the lord to attack the time-traveling army and protect history from being changed, otherwise he would lose the meaning of being a swordsman.

In the later time, when they were about to reach the enemy's base camp, some team members were seriously injured, but it was a pity to give up at this point. If they ordered a retreat, it would be tantamount to declaring the failure of this mission.

"Keep moving forward!" California Qingguang couldn't remember how he said these four words. He only knew that the mission at that time must not fail. They were swords, and their fate was to be broken on the battlefield. Order, no matter what the price is, he will...

"Idiot! There is no task more important than you! You are my men with swords, and I will never allow anyone to break you apart!"

That was the first time that California Qingguang saw Li Xian angry, but there was a crimson flame brewing in his dark eyes, which was so beautiful and touching.After staring blankly at Li Xian for a long time, Jia Qingguang realized that what was reflected in the pupils of the lord was his own blood and an extremely ugly crying face.

fight, fight...

From the time he was forged as a sword, he has been in constant battle.Okita-kun once said that California Qingguang and Yamato Shouji are the life of his Okita Souji. In the Ikedaya incident, he was broken off the tip of the knife, and Okita-kun’s condition worsened. His hand no longer has the strength to lift the sword. .

Kai Qingguang always felt that it was his fault, because he broke it, so Okita-kun's life as a swordsman also died.

Such a thing, California Qingguang no longer wants to happen a second time.He was so scared, so afraid that he would be broken again, but he was even more afraid that he would be abandoned by the lord if he couldn't fight.

Is it necessary for the sword man who can't complete the task to live?

However, when he held these thoughts and planned to die with the time-traveling army, the lord appeared on the battlefield, his clothes fluttering, his handsome face was cloudy, and there was no smile.

Is the lord angry?Because he was so weak, the lord's order failed.Ah, he will no longer be loved, the warmth of the lord, he can no longer have it.

But the lord said that no task is more important than them.

Obviously, he was badly injured by the time retrograde army in the battle before, and he didn't even shed tears, but now because of the lord's words, he couldn't help crying, like a real human being, crying so hard that he couldn't help himself.

In the end, that battle was not won.

However, because of California Qingguang's insistence, the time-traveling army retreated first, and history was within the scope of historical restraint, and there were no changes that could affect future generations.It is indeed difficult to protect history, but it is also very difficult to change history.

Anyway, California Qingguang completed the order given by Li Xian, but instead of being praised by Li Xian, he was punished with a month of farming.California Qingguang, who has always been afraid of getting dirty and tiring, accepted the punishment with great joy that time, and worked diligently for a month to weed the crops, water and fertilize the crops.

Because he knew that the real order of the lord was that all the staff must return to Honmaru safely, but as the captain, he failed to fulfill this point well.

Because of his wrong decision, everyone was in a difficult situation.If the lord hadn't sensed that they were in danger and came to the battlefield in time to save them, I'm afraid he would have cut them off in that battle, right?And it also implicated other men with swords.

If it is broken, there is no way to be with the lord, with An Ding, and with everyone in Honmaru like now.

So it was great to meet the lord.

Hasebe came to Honmaru later than Kiyomitsu. I saw that guy was always by the side of the lord. He was happy because of one sentence of the lord, but he was also disappointed by another sentence of the lord. He cared more than himself. Every move of the lord gave Qingguang a sense of crisis.

Facts have proved that Yaki Hasebe is really capable, mature, steady, serious and responsible, brave and fearless like a wild horse in battle, but like a loyal dog by the lord's side.No matter what orders the lord gives, he can fulfill them very well. He can be called a perfect sword. He has grown into the lord's right-hand man at an extremely fast speed, and he has relieved a lot of heavy responsibilities for the lord.

Until now, most of Honmaru's affairs have been in charge of Hasebe Yakiri, and he has obviously become a reliable predecessor for all the swords.

But for some reason, California Qingguang always felt that there was a black mad dog pressing deep in Hasebe's heart, he cared too much about the lord, just like himself back then, in order to get the lord's love, no matter what he did They have no hesitation.

Is this really a good thing?California Kiyomitsu himself couldn't explain it clearly, but he couldn't help thinking that if Hasebe was allowed to develop like this, he would still be the sword whose fate could only be controlled by others, and would lose the purpose of the lord to give them a human body.

Pulling Piaoyuan's thoughts back, Qingguang looked at Hasebe, seeing blue shadows in his eyes and a tired expression, so he said coldly: "That's it, Hasebe, go back and rest first, as for the condition of the lord It's settled down, so don't worry too much."

After all, it is the sword with the oldest seniority in this maru, and Kakashi Kiyomitsu still has a bit of momentum when he is serious, so he doesn't say anything anymore, he knows Kaga Kiyomitsu is thinking about him, and if the lord wakes up It's not okay to see his tired look.

Anyway, he really can't help here, it's better to let Yaken Toshiro who knows medical skills or Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada who is more used to taking care of others...

"My lord has always said that I will bear the consequences for my own faults. My lord's cold this time is mainly because San Riyue pushed her into the pond, so San Riyue will take care of her tonight."

"But Sanriyue can't even take care of himself!" Yaki Hasebe's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what California Qingguang said.

If Sanri Yuezong was allowed to take care of the lord recently, wouldn't that be the worst situation?

Hasebe couldn't help imagining in his mind that the lord would drink water if he woke up, but Sanriyue spilled water on the lord while feeding the lord, and if the lord had a severe fever at night, he needed to apply ice to cool down , Sanriyue brought a large piece of ice and threw it on the lord.

No, no, no... No, if San Riyue is allowed to take care of the lord, the lord will die!

Is this guy, Qingguang, California, serious?Do you seriously want to kill the lord?

"Ah, ah, don't look at Sanriyue, he is at least the most beautiful one of the five swords in the world. Maybe the lord will wake up soon after looking at the beautiful things." California Qingguang put on a smiling face, looking He easily pushed Hasebu out of Li Xian's room, and when he stepped out the door, Qing Guang glanced back at Li Xian, pursed his lips, and closed the door.

My lord, please take a good rest.

Let Sanri Yuezong take care of the lord recently, California Qingguang also has his own considerations, the lord once said.Mikazuki Zongjin is a swordsman with extremely high divinity, he is the most human-like swordsman, and also the least human-like swordsman.

Mikazuki Zongjin can understand the emotions between human beings, but human beings are flawed, afraid of loneliness and death.Sadness, fear, anger... Humans are creatures with these emotions, but Mikazuki Zongjin does not. Even in the face of death, he is also a person who can say flatly that "tangible things will eventually disappear".

In other words, Sankai Yuezong, who has always been indifferent to everything, is the person who is most able to maintain a normal mind towards the lord.

The lord is seriously ill now, although everyone is acting calm, but in fact, everyone is so anxious that they are about to lose their minds, right?California Qingguang still can't guarantee whether he will do something because he is too worried about the lord's body, let alone worry about those unreliable guys, so let's leave it to Mikazuki Zongjin here.

But after a while, Sankayue Zongjin, who was leisurely making tea and drinking in his room, was brought to Li Xian's living room, "Sankaiyue, the lord, please~"

California Qingguang waved his hand, and disappeared after leaving the last sentence, leaving Sanri Yuezong blinking innocently, not knowing what happened after all.

"Hahahaha, does California mean to let my grandfather take care of the lord?"

It is said to take care, but in fact there is not much to do. After all, it is already night. The main reason why Sanri Yuezong came to Lixian's room recently was that it was like last night that the lord had a fever but no one noticed.Let’s also add a warming effect to the bed. Li Xian feels very afraid of the cold now, but he is covered with a quilt, and he is so hot that he uncovers the quilt and kicks him. After kicking the quilt to one side, Li Xian Xian continued to curl up at the foot of the bed shivering with cold.

When Zakiki Hasebe was around, he covered Lixian ten times with a quilt.

No, Li Xian started to stretch his legs and stare at the quilt again, and Sanri Yuezong hurried forward to help hold down the quilt, but perhaps he was hindered, Lixian opened his eyes a little unhappy, and when he saw Sanri Yuezong approaching, he seemed to have changed He had to wake up a little, and called out Sanriyue's name.

"Sankaiyue, why do you..."

"My lord, are you awake?"

Supporting Lixian to sit up, Sanriyue turned around and poured a cup of hot tea at the table, "Master, moisten your throat first?"

"Yeah." With a small hum, Li Xian drank two sips of tea in Sanri Yuezong's hand, then looked around, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, but seeing the night outside the window was getting dark, he asked: "Did I sleep all day?"

"Yeah, everyone is worried." Sanriyue Zongjin smiled, by the way, why don't you tell them in California now that the lord has woken up, so as not to worry them.

"Everyone? What are you talking about, Sanriyue, you're worried about me, aren't you the only one?...Where is this place? Such a beautiful room...how do you feel...so warm..."

After Lixian said these words, the smile on Sanri Yuezong's face froze, and he didn't even know when the teacup in his hand fell.The warm tea was poured on Li Xian, and Li Xian let out an "oops" and quickly wiped away the water on his clothes, "San Riyue, what are you doing. Eh? Why are my hands so big... my body is too... ..."

"Well!"

Not caring about the water stains on his clothes, Li Xian covered his aching head, and after a soft moan, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the pupils of his eyes flashed back.It seems that he didn't really wake up until now. He turned his head and looked at Sankaiyue. After a long pause, he asked with certainty: "Sankaiyue, this is Honmaru?"

"Yes, my lord, you fell into the water yesterday and caught a cold, don't you remember?" The lord's reaction just now was a bit strange, as if he had changed into a different person.

"Well, I remembered. Sorry, Sanriyue, I fell asleep and couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while, so I said something strange, forget it."

"Oh my lord, did you also dream of me in your dream?" Since the lord didn't want to mention it, Sanri Yuezong didn't ask any more questions, and replied with a smile.Just now he clearly saw the lord calling him Sanriyue, if it was regarded as a dream by the lord, it means the lord was actually dreaming of him, right?

"Ah, I dreamed that I had a fever, and it was you who came to take care of me. What a nightmare..." Let San Riyue, who can't take care of others, take care of him who is sick, is it because he dislikes that he is not sufficiently sick?It was as if he was just feeding him water just now, but Sanri Yuezong was able to overturn the teacup and spill it all over him, and his back was so sticky, it was so uncomfortable.

"Hahaha, it turns out that for the lord, it's a nightmare for me to take care of you. But haven't you realized that this nightmare has become a reality?"

Feeling that Lixian shrugged his shoulders, and felt a little uncomfortable, Mikazuki Zongjin guessed that perhaps Lixian had sweated before, and the wet bathrobe was sticking to his body right now, right?It's late at night, and it's easy to catch a cold when you go out to soak in the hot springs, so Yue Zongjin poured a basin of hot water for three days, held a towel and looked at Li Xian with a smile, "Come on, my lord, let me help you wipe off your sweat."

"—Eh? No, no need, I'll just do it myself."

Although I really want to complain about the pot of hot water Sanri Yuezong poured out, if I wipe his body directly, it may burn off a layer of skin, but seeing Sanri Yuezong smiling like a spring breeze, Li Xian didn't know why. When I got down, I unconsciously had a series of questions deep in my heart.

Did he say something wrong just now?

Why do you think Sanri Yuezong is angry?

Could someone like him be angry?

"But isn't the lord unable to wipe his back?"

Sanri Yuezong thought that he had to persuade the lord for a long time before the lord was willing to take off his clothes and let him wipe his sweat. After all, they tried their best yesterday, but the lord didn't take off his clothes, and he never took a bath in the hot spring with them.So he was just joking, when he was about to pass the hot water to the lord, he didn't expect the lord to take off his bathrobe very simply after hesitating for a while, revealing his smooth upper body.

Under the light, the body lines are smooth, and because of lack of exercise, the muscles are not plump, but they are not a limp mass either.

This is a body between youthful and mature, with fair complexion, as if carved from jade, but on the back of that body, there is a long and narrow light pink scar, almost full of scars. The entire back looked extremely hideous.

What a serious injury.

Just looking at the scar left behind, Mikazuki Zongjin could imagine that the lord probably lost half of his life when he suffered this injury.

Is it for this reason that the lord refuses to take off his clothes in front of them?
