long way home

When Mikazuki Zongjin opened the Dahiroma paper door with Imamu, he found that apart from the few blades in the repair room before and the crimping Hasebe who was left beside the God Judge, all the swords of this Honmaru are now gathered in the Here it is.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, and he was still in the mood to joke, acting as if he had too many suitors unexpectedly, "Oh, oh, even though he is an old man, he still has the same demeanor. I have received everyone's enthusiasm, but please allow me to decline."

Imamori tugged at his loose sleeves to cover his face and sniggered endlessly.

"This really scared me. As expected of an old sword in the Heian period, he has a thick skin." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was around the same age as Mikazuki Mune, subconsciously countered back.

"Didn't Tsurumaru's words scold me? Let's talk about it first, the two of you are willing to get together to spoil the atmosphere of peace, and Xiaohu is not willing." Xiaohumaru combed his white hair while Casually drew a boundary with the two "same-age knives".

"Really, what time is it and the three of you are still joking." The candlestick beside him, Qie Guangzhong, couldn't sit still.Influenced by Masamune Date, who was the master of the sword, Fusangshen, who cared most about image, took the initiative to take on the kitchen task of this maru.As the saying goes, food is the paramount necessity of the people, and the master chef who has mastered the power of the kitchen has also become the general manager of Honmaru's general affairs. Over time, he has developed a character of worrying about everything. "This is a major matter related to the survival of Honmaru. It was you Pingan bosses who claim to be rich in experience who persuaded us to wait and see and let the God Judge successfully conclude the contract?"

"It's not cool if Mitsutada is too nagging." The bear boy Taiko Zhong Zhenzong, who is usually taken care of by Candekiri Mitsutada (crossed out) the most, complained unceremoniously, and put Candekiri Mitsutada on his back.

Sitting in the corner away from the blade group, Okurigara, who is also a member of Date's family, "hummed", and whispered in a low voice that I knew would be like this: "So, there is no need to have a good relationship..." Subtext Yes, cherish life and stay away from bear children.

The sharp-eared Wuji Zhenzong heard the words of Dajuli Jialuo, and smiled softly, "I saw it. Mr. Dajuli fed Xiaozhen with snacks several times."

Dagurigaro turned his head away, pretending not to hear.

However, like Okurigara, he didn't like to be in the group of swords, but instead, Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro, who was relatively close, swears by the sheet he was wearing.

The Lion King, who was sitting at the long table near the door, got up obediently to give up his seat to Munekazuki Munechi, and moved to the side of Mutsu Mori Kichiyuki, watching him play with the musket in his hand.

"Why, have you also decided to keep up with the trend of the times and use new weapons?" Mutsu Mori Kichiyuki, speaking in a Tosa accent, showed off his love gun to the Lion King generously, and carried out daily security by the way. .

"Forget it, it's too easy to go off, so it's not suitable for grandpas to use." The blade of the main body is made very thin so that the elderly can use it, so the Lion King's consideration of weapons always refers to the old master.

"What's the trend of the times, handsome and powerful swords like me are the most popular, right?" Izumi Mori Kanesada is the youngest among the swords currently installed by the Toki no Government. Politely retorted.He used to be the favorite sword of Hijikata Toshizo, the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, and he was at odds with Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki, who served the reformer Ryoma Sakamoto.

Staring at Izumi Mori Kanesada from the side all the time, Horikawa Kunihiro, the writing assistant who reads as a fan, stuffed a cup of tea that had dried to a suitable temperature into Izumi Mori Kanesada's hand, "Kane-san, drink tea." He transferred him calmly. attention.

Originally, he had been looking after himself. California Qingguang, who was playing with red nails, watched the interaction of the two blades of the earthwork team over there, and his mood suddenly became depressed. If the stability is still there...

California Qingguang is the original sword of this maru. He was originally a "squeamish" blade who was looking forward to the master's love. Even if the person who summoned him was very cold, he only thought that he was not cute enough. That's why they don't get the master's favor.

But soon the cruel reality shattered this naive idea of ​​revitalizing the sword. That person...he never regarded these Fusangshen transformed from swords as independent individuals from the very beginning, just to complete the government of time. The task will use Fusangshen as a tool.Except for necessary work, he never dealt with the Sword Fusangshen, and always seemed to avoid it.

Although secretly sad for a long time, California Qingguang could only accept it calmly.However, what he didn't expect was that what happened later made that person unable to maintain even this superficial relationship, so that it finally got out of hand.Yamato Mamoruan, who served the genius swordsman Okita Souji at the end of the Bakumatsu together with California Kiyomitsu, was also shattered in that incident...

Thinking of this, California Qingguang clenched his fists in grief and anger, and his bright red nails sank deeply into the flesh.

Fu Sangshen, who is a daidachi, is tall and tall even if he is kneeling and sitting at an altitude. Therefore, Ishikirimaru, who has a wide vision, looks worriedly at Kiyomitsu, who is in a gloomy mood.He is a sword enshrined in the shrine. He is very good at eliminating disasters and purifying filth, so he is very sensitive to these emotional perceptions that will bring bad effects. Before Honmaru, he had a tendency to fall into the dark several times before shaking the sword. It was all due to him Purify and suppress with Taro Tachi and Jiro Tachi brothers who are also enshrined in the shrine.

And California Qingguang...is one of the few swords that had a tendency to fall into the dark before.

Ishikirimaru and Taro Tachi exchanged a worried look, but if they couldn't solve the problem fundamentally, no matter how suppressed they are, these magical swords would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Jiro Tachi noticed his elder brother's frowning, and he got up empathetically, carrying the jug and walked to Kami Kiyomitsu, turned his face to Kami Kiyomitsu without any explanation, and poured wine into his mouth that was opened because of surprise .

"?! Cough cough cough..." Kali Qingguang hurriedly pushed away Jiro Taidao, but his body had lost his balance, and he fell headlong towards the smiling Qing Jiang who was sitting next to him.

Smiling Qingjiang displayed a good mobility value, and steadily supported California Qingguang who was choked by alcohol. "Mr. Jiro's actions are too rough, aren't you? If you don't do this kind of thing gently, you will be hated!"

The corners of Jiro Tachi's mouth twitched, what do you mean by "doing this kind of thing"?It's just ordinary drinking, but to use such an ambiguous description, this blade is hopeless.

Because there was too much movement in Qingguang, California, Fu Sangshen from the whole Daguangjian looked over for a while, so everyone heard the ambiguous words of Jiang.

"Really, it's so unrefined!" Kanesada, a knives and swordsman who loves elegance, couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.

At this time, Sanri Yue Zongjin had already sat down in the seat vacated by the Lion King, holding a cup of tea made by Yingwan in his hand, "Hahaha... Aren't you here to discuss business? How did you become like this?" ?”

Yingwan, who was sitting next to him, said, "It's so noisy, I can't drink tea in peace." Well, this is also a master who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

After entering the Dahiro room, he let go of Mikazuki Zongjin's sleeves, looked left and right and couldn't find a good position, and immediately sat down on Yan Rong's lap.The little tengu, who was hugged by the tall naginata Fusangshen with a good temper and stuffed a mouthful of candy, puffed up his cheeks while sucking the candy in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Still...... The first head..."

I have to say that Jin Jian told the truth in one word.

"Goodness, goodness, since that's the case, let's stop the gossip and return to the main text." Sanri Yue Zongjin was not shy, and took advantage of the situation to put on a posture of sitting upright.

Everyone here has been together for some time, and spent a difficult time together, who doesn't know who, and immediately has a more intuitive understanding of the thick skin of this Ping An old knife.

But this incident can't be entirely blamed on Mikami Tsukimune. In fact, many of the blades are pretending to be casual gags in order to ease the overly tense atmosphere.

Before Mikazuki Zongjin came back, the atmosphere in this big room was really not relaxed.

Except for the few vibrating knives in the restoration room, everyone in Honmaru participated in the activity of watching the new judge at the door.

Although they also knew very well in their hearts that unless they really fell into the dark and escaped, or they gritted their teeth and jumped directly into the sword solution pond, sooner or later they would usher in a new master.

After all, although his predecessor was scumbag, he was very lucky.There are many rare knives in this pill, and everyone's practice level is generally quite high. It is impossible for the government of the time to give up their combat power in vain.

At first, when everyone saw the God Judge at the gate of Honmaru, they all felt thumping in their hearts.The attitude shown by the appraiser reminded them of their predecessor, and it was also indifferent at the beginning.

At that time, Sankai Yuezong, who was standing in the forefront, waved his hands hidden under the sleeves of his wide hunting clothes to the blades behind him, signaling them to be calm and not to be impatient, and everything will be done according to the previous agreement.The blades dispersed quickly, leaving Sanri Yuezong, who was the most calm and calm, to deal with the god judge.

Who knew that the god judge just signed a contract to activate the knife tent, and directly awakened Jinjian who was seriously injured and sleeping.It also gave Yaki Hasebe, who disagreed with most of the blades of Honmaru, the opportunity to distract Mikami Tsukimune, and failed to complete his previous plan to test the character and character of the God Judge.

But also because of this, Sword Fusangshen were able to more intuitively feel the spiritual power of the God Inspector, which was different from the obscure clarity and... powerfulness of the predecessor.

Although spiritual power can reflect the essence of a person, with such a clear and awe-inspiring spiritual power, the character of the God-inspector is guaranteed to a certain extent.

But, such a powerful spiritual power also means that if something happens, it will be difficult for the Sword Fusangshen to resist the God Judge.

The predecessor has done so many angry and resentful things, it's not that he didn't get rid of it before and just do it. Get rid of him once and for all.

It's just that before Youjian was put into practice, the predecessor committed a terrible death by himself, and was directly revoked by the government of the time. The qualification of the god judge was imprisoned.

The Toujian Fusangshen could also breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if Wuren wants to kill the lord himself, it means that he will fall into an irreversible dark fall, and it will also implicate other companions of Honmaru.

After a while of silence, it was Sanri Yuezong who spoke, "Everyone knows what kind of spiritual power this Lord God Judge looks like now. It should not be a problem to maintain the superficial peace and stability in the short term."

"It's 'short-term', 'on the surface', and it's 'should' again. Mikazuki, you really summed it up very cautiously." Tsurumaru Kuninaga changed his usual noisy appearance and said with a wry smile.

"The big deal is just like Honmaru's early days, when he was treated coldly by the god judge." Yingwan still seemed to be drinking tea calmly, but the tea in his hand had long been cold, which reflected that he was actually not in the heart. calm.

"Before that happened, didn't everyone think that we could make do with the former god judge? It turned out to be counterproductive." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada clearly pointed out everyone's concerns, "After all, 'what if' No one can avoid this.”

"Didn't the god judge come to Honmaru with nothing but a big sword on his back? It seems that he should be very confident in his own force, maybe he can try to trick him into going out with us. On the battlefield But it’s hard to say anything, if there is an 'what if', there can also be an 'accident'." It seemed that the aftertaste of Jiro Tachi's drinking had picked up just now, and California Qingguang lightly made a rather terrible assumption with red eyes.

"Hiss...!" "Hiss...!"

There were gasps one after another in the large room.

To borrow a sentence from Tsurumaru Kuninaga, this really scared us!

No one expected that California Qingguang, who usually loves to dress up and "act like a baby", would say such words, and Zhongren immediately refreshed his understanding of this Zhenshi knife.

In the end, it was Sanri Yuezong who made a conclusion, "Then just stay on the sidelines. Don't slack off in normal daily classes. It's not a matter of principle. Try to meet the requirements of the god judge, and be respectful to me."

So this meeting is considered to be over, and the Fusangshen who gathered in Daguangjian also dispersed.

Mikazuki Zongjin left Ishikirimaru and Taro Tachi alone, and told them to pay more attention to California Qingguang, and... Yiqi Yizhen who had just awakened.

"The first phase of the palace is not easy."

Ji Ren could not help but sigh at the same time.

Originally, Kuritaguchi was a fairly large sword faction, and his family occupied nearly one-third of the blades in Honmaru, but now... there are only three blades left: Ikshin, Ranto Shiro, and Noto Shiro.

After all, they were the biggest victims of the previous incident...

The author has something to say:

I secretly thought that I was very good at this kind of chain reaction scene description, and the most satisfying part of the first part was the part explaining to the heroes in Chapter 30.

Well, when it comes to the upper part, there was no manuscript at that time, only the outline (of course, it is still the same now), and I insisted on updating 3000 times a day, but I was still in school at that time, and everyone knew about the university→_→Now I am a working dog, can I update it every day? I’m really not sure about this _(:з」∠)_

All I can say is, try your best~

PS: It means that I don’t know anything about harmonious vocabulary now. Let’s check it with Du Niang, and I always feel that many inexplicable places have also been harmonious.
