Those days in Honmaru

"1, 2, 3..." California Qingguang counted something in front of the calendar, then sighed, Yamato Mamoru looked at him curiously, and asked, "What's the matter, Qingguang?"

California's bald head didn't turn back, and he spread his hands to the maximum and said, "An Ding, can you believe it, I still have this ~ so long before I can go to this world to accompany my master."

Yamato Moran Ding laughed, "There's nothing we can do about it. When the master decided to go to the present world, both of us had just served as servants. And..."

He paused, walked behind California Qingguang, and suddenly stretched out a hand to hook California Qingguang's neck and said, "To be honest, is it really all for the sake of the master that I am so eager to go to this world?"

California Qingguang shook his eyes suspiciously, and the pictures in the fashion magazines flashed quickly in his mind, and then he said firmly: "Of course!"

"Huh? Say it again?" The hand hooked around the neck tightened for a moment, California Qingguang raised his hands in surrender, and admitted: "Okay, okay, I also want to see the real clothes, maybe I can buy them I've become a cuter thing."

"It's more or less the same." Yamato Shou'an finally spared California Kiyomitsu.

California Qingguang tidied up his tousled hair, and asked casually: "Today is Sanri Yuezong, who is near the master, right? Is there any problem?"

"I don't know, and the master didn't seem to send any news back."

And as if to answer their questions, a series of bells suddenly sounded from outside the house. With the bells, the Fusangshen felt that they were being called.

California Qingguang and Yamato Shou Anding looked at each other, and that was the sound of the assembly bell.

-

"Bell! Bell! Bell!"

Honmaru's assembly bell had never rang so fiercely before, and everyone except the troops who had already gone on an expedition gathered quickly. In the atrium, they saw Foxosuke who was shaking the assembly bell desperately, and, alone Mikazuki Zongjin standing aside?

California Qingguang felt his heart beating fast. He stared closely at Sankai Zongjin and asked, "Sankai Yue, where is the master? Where is he?"

Sanri Yuezong closed his eyes and said, "This was my mistake. If it wasn't for me, my lord would not have gone to that place."

Fox helped explain: "This matter has nothing to do with Mikazuki-sama! No matter who is there, the same thing will happen!"

But Kakashi Kiyomitsu didn't listen to Foxosuke's words, he read with a trembling voice: "...What does this mean?" He couldn't help himself thinking about Mikazuki Zongjin and walked a few steps, "Hey! Mikazuki!"

"Kyomitsu, calm down." Yamato Shou'an took a step forward and pressed down on California Qingguang's shoulder to make him stop, but his tone was not very good: "Can you explain the situation?"

Mikami Tsukimune didn't answer immediately, he turned his gaze to Tsurumaru who was standing at the end of the crowd, and found that the other party kept his head down.Then he opened his mouth and said: "My lord and I went to the shrine in the present world, where the lord touched the god tree, and then disappeared."

"Shrine?" The smiling Qingjiang suddenly remembered what happened before, and he said: "Two days ago, my master and I also went to that shrine. It is worth noting that a strange monster appeared there. Could it be a monster? made?"

"Monster... that's right!" California Qingguang suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly turned and ran away.

"Qing Guang, where are you going?" Yamato Moran Ding was taken aback, and also chased after him.

It was too late to care about the departure of California Kiyomitsu and Yamato Mori Anding, Mikazuki Munekami said again: "Before returning to Honmaru, Foxnosuke and I had already gone to the outdated government, but for some reason, they couldn't reverse-teleport the Lord back. And the level of chaos in the Government of Time... is really surprising."

"Chaos?" The Fusangshen realized that the situation was more serious than they had imagined, and Fox's next words confirmed this idea: "Actually, long before Lord Judge left Honmaru, the dynamics of the time-traveling army became very active."

"Compared to the random appearance in different eras without warning in the past, this time the time-traveling army was deliberately organized and appeared in an extremely large number at the same time. The Government of Time just dealt with those time-traveling troops. I have already run out of skills, and as I told you before, the same era cannot accommodate two god-inspectors appearing at the same time, so the task of finding the god-inspector can only be entrusted to you to complete this task."

Hasebe frowned tightly, but nodded approvingly: "Of course, we can't rest assured if we leave this matter to others."

"That's good..." Hearing Hasebe's words, Honosuke's expression relaxed a little, and then added: "In short, we found a crack in time and space at the place where Lord God Judge last appeared. According to the time government According to the test, the most likely place for Lord God Examiner to exist is the Warring States Period 500 years ago. It was also a very chaotic era in history, and what was worse was that in that era, monsters were at their peak of development .”

"As I said before, the Government of Time has always believed that the target of the time-traveling army is the God Judge, and this time it may also be their conspiracy." Because of being invaded by the time-traveling army once, I was worried that the coordinates of the Honmaru where the god judge was located had been known by the time-traveling army, so I specially arranged for him to go to the present world, but I didn't expect that something went wrong."

It shook its head, cheered up and said: "The first task now is to form a search team, and then..."

"Then let's go immediately!" California Qingguang's voice came, and he walked back quickly. Behind him, Yamato Shou'an also had a bad face, holding something familiar to everyone in his hand, it was the white fox. Mask, "Master, he didn't wear this when he went to this world."

Everyone present gasped, no one knew better than them the importance of this mask to Natsume.

Although Natsume always said that he has learned a lot of onmyoji moves, those who face a large number of monsters and time-traveling army can only let Natsume protect himself, not to mention that in the eyes of Fusangshen, Shenshen The latter will always be an existence that needs their constant protection.

"Then it shouldn't be too late." Hasebe came out, looked around at the people around, and said, "I think everyone knows the seriousness of this matter. Now there is only one problem, who will come first?"

"Of course I'll go first, if I can't bring the lord back in person..." Sanri Yue Zongjin smiled lightly, and said the rest of the sentence: "It's better to break my five swords under heaven."

"Sir Sanriyue, please don't say that. No matter what, there is no one missing from this pill." Smiling Qingjiang also stood up while saying this: "I will go too, I know the appearance and aura of that monster. If he is The culprit, then I will definitely find him."

"And me!" Fudo Yukimitsu stood up with a serious face, "Although I don't know much about monsters, I can leave the investigation to me. Among other things, I'm the best among Honmaru's short knives." It’s amazing! And I haven’t done much for my master yet, this time I have to prove that I’m not a useless knife!”

On the other hand, Higakiri and Keimaru looked at each other, Higakiri nodded, and then Kemimaru stood up and said: "My brother and I also hope to join the first search team, but in fact, That's what we're here for."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and Keemaru still had that serious expression: "The former master told us when he sent me and my brother here that in the near future, We need to display the ability to slay ghosts, presumably it means this time."

Smiling Qingjiang looked at Mustache and asked: "At that time, you probably just wanted to talk about this matter, right?"

Higakiri smiled and didn't answer, and Kemaru explained: "The former master was worried that any small matter would affect the past history, so he specifically told us not to speak out until the last moment, but brother..."

Higakiri finally spoke: "I just hope that the master can prepare for this, but obviously, I still failed."

"What is... the history of the past?" Hasebe was keenly aware of the strange origin and asked, Kemaru blinked and then closed his mouth and said nothing, Higakiri turned his head and glanced at Tsurumaru for some reason Kuninaga said, "As for what that means, I think someone here knows."

Tsurumaru looked up at Higakiri, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was calm or something else, in short, he looked completely different from his usual self.

Everyone present felt that the atmosphere seemed to have changed suddenly, but Mikami Tsukimune was still the same as usual. As long as he opened his mouth, he could calm the mood of others. Trust, if you count them like this, there are five people."

"Then the last candidate..." Hasebe nodded, then he coughed and was about to say something, Mikazuki Zongjin continued as if he had guessed what he wanted to say: "I want Hasebe to stay in Honmaru."

Hasebe looked at the other party a little puzzled, Sankai Yuezong patted Hasebe on the shoulder, and said to him in a low voice: "Since the threat of the time-traveling army has not been lifted, I hope we will find the lord, Hasebe You come to lead the others. Those who stay in Honmaru will definitely be flustered, not to mention those who have not yet returned from the expedition, and you are the only one who can temporarily replace the lord to integrate Honmaru."

Hasebe took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

"As for the last candidate..." Mikami Tsukimune looked towards Tsurumaru, this person hadn't said a word until now, as if he was trapped in his own world and didn't know what he was thinking.Mikazuki Zongjin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Let Tsurumaru take part."

Tsurumaru suddenly raised his head and looked at Mikami Tsukimune, who looked directly at him, as if urging him to make a decision.

"I...can't go." Unexpectedly, Tsurumaru hesitated for a while and actually rejected Mikazuki Muneki.

"...What did you say?!" Hasebe didn't expect Tsurumaru to say such words, he stepped forward and grabbed Tsurumaru's collar, "You can't go, don't you care about the master at all? ?”

And Tsurumaru didn't resist at all, just looked away struggling, but said very persistently: "I said I can't go."

Hasebe let go of his hand and pushed Tsurumaru away, and said in a stiff tone, "In that case, forget it!"

The atmosphere froze all of a sudden, and the one who finally broke the deadlock was Mikazuki Munechi, who walked up to Tsurumaru, and said in the same calm tone as usual: "How long do you want to hide this matter? Do you want me to tell you?" Export, Tsurumaru Kuninaga?"

Then he paused for a while, and continued, "You are the real Fusangshen."

"Eh?" Everyone else looked at the two in surprise, but Tsurumaru didn't answer, so Mikazuki Zongjin continued.

"Tsurumaru Kuninaga, you are different from all our other fusangshen. We are just replicas made by the government of time based on our real bodies. Only you are the fusangshen who was truly awakened by the lord God, right."

Mikazuki Sokami's words once again dropped a heavy weight here. Many people looked at Tsurumaru in surprise, but there were also a few people who knew about it early on, such as Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Sosan Zuomon...

Tsurumaru was silent for a moment, then laughed, he looked helplessly at Mikazuki Munekin and said, "I still want to find a better opportunity to use this incident to scare everyone even more."

"Speaking of this matter will allow you to tell the truth." Sanri Yue Zongjin smiled slyly, and then said seriously: "Tell me, the reason why you can't go."

"Of course I want to go... No one wants to find him in person more than me..." Tsurumaru clenched his fists, and then let them go. He was silent for a while before he said: "But 'I' is right there Ah, always by his side. How could I appear in another place at the same time, let alone meet."

"So, I can't go even if I want to." He recalled the past scene, showing a weak smile, "At this time, I would think, if I am like you, maybe I don't need to be so scruples."

"In other words, you haven't seen yourself." Mikazuki Zongjin didn't know why he grasped this point, he seemed to think of something, and what he said next made Tsurumaru's eyes gradually widen: "Have you After thinking about this possibility, you actually followed, but you did not appear in front of you at that time."

Sankai Yuezong patted Tsurumaru closely, and said, "Perhaps your appearance will be a reminder to Master."
