Those days in Honmaru

"Sometimes, the more we want to change history, the more we find that we are already on the track of history."

-

1.

For a relatively closed rural town, if one person knows something new, it means that the whole town knows about it.

This is why Natsume Reiko has become the most unpopular person in the town. After all, in the eyes of those who can't see youkai, many things she does seem to be self-directed and self-acted in order to attract other people's attention.

Naturally, there are many things that science cannot explain, such as why when the girl is alone under the tree, there will be a gust of wind blowing only by the tree.

Reiko watched those people who were afraid of the strange events around her move away from her one by one, but she didn't say a word of excuse.

fair enough.

she thinks.

I don't need any human friends either, just those monster friends are enough.

And after several years of this kind of time, Reiko suddenly disappeared from the town, as if she had never appeared before, leaving only some scattered rumors and the impression that strangers should not get close to others.

When she appeared in front of everyone again, she had become a single mother with a little girl.

2.

For Reiko, as a mother, she doesn't have a lot of time to raise her daughter. It's not that she doesn't want to, but that her body can't bear the endless increase of spiritual power, so she is getting thinner day by day.

But Reiko knew that this day would come sooner or later.

That's right, in the days when she was in contact with monsters all the year round, she had an experience that seemed normal at the time.

The ordinary stone statue of a fox at the entrance of an ordinary shrine suddenly turned into a little yellow and white fox with a humanized expression on its face painted with strange patterns. The little fox warned Reiko about this very seriously.

The little fox also told Reiko that if she is willing to join the government of time as a god judge, they can help her solve this problem.

But at that time, Lingzi only regarded it as a joke of the little fox. After laughing and playing with the little fox for an afternoon, she made up her mind to leave. After failing to invite Lingzi many times, the little fox had to tell her that it I will contact Reiko again in the future, and hope that Reiko can agree to its request at that time.

Every time I look at my child, I think that I will never see her again in the near future, and that the other party is destined to become an unwelcome orphan.

In this regard, Reiko occasionally regrets it.

The only thing that is fortunate is that this child did not inherit Reiko's spiritual power, so Reiko hopes that this child can live in the most ordinary way in the future.

When that time was approaching, Reiko somehow remembered what the little fox said, and her memory was still fresh as if she had just heard the little fox say it yesterday.

So, when the little fox really appeared again, Reiko was not surprised at all.

The little fox once again persuaded Reiko to join the Government of Time and become a member of the God Trials. This time, Reiko hesitated.

The reason is very simple. The little fox said that if she becomes a god judge, as long as she travels through time and space, she can see her child again in the future, and even her child's descendants.

Finally, Reiko agreed.

3.

I have to say that the government of time is really amazing. After they faked Reiko's death and brought Reiko back to the government of time, they not only solved Reiko's physical problems, but also allowed her time to go back and fix it at ten. how old.

This involves some transactions between the Government of Time and Reiko. For example, in addition to completing the mission issued by the Government of Time, Reiko has to find ways to win over capable judges from various eras. God's people.

Teenage girls can gain a little advantage first to a certain extent, and Reiko's ability to make friends (especially making friends with monsters) is indeed amazing.

On the other hand, the little fox's persuasion ability is really worrying, isn't it?

So Reiko began to take the monsters recorded in the account of friends and those who are always worried about her swords to protect the history together.

With her astonishing spiritual power, Reiko soon became a god-inspector with great expectations in the Government of Time.

Every once in a while, Reiko would go to see her daughter alone, to make sure that she grew up safe and sound, then got married and had children, and then died of a serious illness.

Within a few years, her husband also left, leaving only a little boy who was only a few years old.

When she saw the boy—that is, Reiko's grandson—at first sight, Reiko could be sure that her innate powerful spiritual power had been completely inherited by the boy.

This also means that the boy is likely to embark on the same path as her: being rejected by humans and only accompanied by monsters.

This made Reiko involuntarily set her sights on the boy, especially after he became an orphan. Although Reiko couldn't contact him directly, it was a very simple matter to entrust a few children to play with the boy.

It would be even better if these children were not monsters.

4.

The boy who became an orphan is always tossing and turning in relatives' house, and the troubles caused by monsters also make the boy be observed with strange eyes by the people around him. more complicated.

Sometimes it's friends, but more often it's the boy running away from the monster.

At the same time, the spiritual power in the boy was also growing rapidly. Looking at him, Reiko seemed to see another herself.

After seeing her daughter die and being unable to do anything about it, Reiko certainly doesn't want anything to happen to her grandson, and it happens that the boy has enough spiritual power to become a god judge, so there is only one answer left Is not it?

Reiko handed this matter over to Fox, and asked the little fox to lead the boy on another path at the right time.

After the boy grew up to be a juvenile and became a god judge, he hid his identity and put a protective talisman on the boy.

I hope that I can protect the boy even when I can't see it.

5.

As I said before, Reiko's daily work is not only to eliminate the time-traveling army, but also to find people who are suitable to be god judges, and this kind of people often appear in groups in those times when demons are rampant.

So Reiko went to the Warring States Period with a happy mood.

After hooking up with many newborn and ignorant little monsters along the way, Reiko finally found a person, to be precise, a priestess, and to put it more clearly, the maiden's name is Kikyo.

For Reiko, it was unexpected that she could find such a suitable candidate. Moreover, the other party seemed to be different from ordinary priests, at least not the kind of person who would kill youkai. The little monster next to her can see it.

For Kikyo, she was surprised to meet such a unique god judge. After all, there are almost no real god judges in this era, let alone a sword-wielding god and monsters. the judge of God.

When they met for the first time, both parties had a good impression of each other, so some topics were quickly brought up.

Regarding Reiko's invitation, Kikyo declined without thinking too much, she said to Reiko: "I'm just practicing outside now, when I return to my hometown, I will start the task of guarding the jade of the four souls, forgive me for not being able to take on another heavy responsibility. "

Reiko just shook her hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, I can wait." Until Kikyo no longer has any influence on history, she will lead her to become a god judge.

6.

The two finally decided to travel together. Reiko followed Kikyo to various places, from bustling cities to remote mountain villages. The only thing that remained the same was that there were shrines there. This is the purpose of her going out to practice.

One day, they came to an abandoned shrine on the top of a mountain, and a distinctive aura attracted Reiko's attention.

Because Kikyo was dissatisfied with the dilapidated appearance of the shrine, she planned to clean up the shrine, and Reiko temporarily put aside the matter of Fusangshen, and only went to meet Kikyo when she was planning to leave here.

It turned out to be Fu Sangshen of a Taidao.

Surprisingly, Reiko has never seen this Taidao in the Government of Time, which means that the Government of Time has not been approved by the Taidao Fusangshen in the future, allowing them to make copies.

And what's more surprising is that Taidao Fusangshen also refused to work for the government of the time.

Reiko had no choice but to lament that her trip to the Warring States Period this time would be fruitless and return.

7.

Not long after Reiko returned to Honmaru, she set out again. This time, she planned to see if the Taidao Fusangshen had changed her mind. It happened that she also wanted to see what the beautiful Taidao Fusangshen looked like in human form. I picked a rough time, and after 50 years, I went to that shrine again.

Reiko originally thought that she would see a Taidao Fusangshen who was about to transform into a human form, but she didn't expect to see Fusangshen who was weaker than the last time she met.

Reiko was still surprised, but Fu Sangshen grabbed him and said, "I remember you, Natsume Reiko."

"It's also the God Judge of the Government of Time, do you know a God Judge named Natsume Takashi?"

This was definitely the coincidence that surprised Reiko the most.

With the help of the Taidao Fusangshen named Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Reiko knew a lot about her grandson, and at the same time realized that the protective talisman she left behind was the one that caused the boy to go through all this. source.

Tsurumaru said to Reiko: "If I join the Government of Time, will I be able to see him again?"

Reiko nodded.

Tsurumaru was silent for a while and said: "Then I only have one request, I just want to be his Fusangshen alone, I only recognize him as the master."

Reiko looked at Fu Sangshen, smiled and said, "I think... maybe it's possible."

8.

Just like what Reiko said, the government of time did accept this Fusangshen who required special requirements. After all, the replicas they made could not compare to Fusangshen who could truly be ranked as a god, and they were unwilling to offend The sword pays the gods, and everyone always has to cooperate with each other.

Then, under the control of the Tokino Government, Tsurumaru successfully entered Natsume Honmaru.

And Reiko began to investigate those time-traveling soldiers who were always chasing Natsume, helping him deal with those troubles by the way, and also thinking about when to send him a bodyguard there.

After discovering that her grandson always attracted strange people involuntarily, Reiko felt that it would be better for him to stay in the stable world for a while. It just so happened that the government of the time also intended to protect the novice judges, and the two sides hit it off , Natsume packed up and sent to the present world.

But I never expected that just like this, Natsume would encounter a rare space-time crack, and coupled with the massive attack of the time retrograde army, all chaos broke out at the same time.

Reiko thought about it for a while, and sneaked back to the Warring States Period again, completely ignoring the rule that "inquisitors cannot go to the same time and space" at all.

It's really big hearted that the government of the time hasn't fired her yet.

Then Reiko meets Kikyo who has experienced 50 years, but her appearance has not changed at all.

9.

Resurrected from the dead, to be precise, Kikyo, who is now a half-living person, has long since realized her situation, and the driving force that supports her to continue walking in this world is to eliminate Naraku.

Reiko learned from Kikyo that Natsume was recuperating in that shrine at this time, and that the culprit was Naraku. In addition, Reiko also discovered the connection between Naraku and the Time Traveling Army, and the two once again had the same goal.

Reiko and Kikyo finally rushed to help the troubled Natsume and his party at the critical moment.

Watching everyone leave, Kikyo asked Reiko: "That god judge is very important to you, why don't you go and see him?"

But Lingzi looked at the time-traveling army all over the city and said: "The child will have someone to protect him for me, and here to solve his future troubles is what I want to do."

Before calling Fu Sangshen and the monsters to help, Reiko said to Kikyo: "Speaking of which, you are already dead. Do you want to go to the government of time to be a god judge after Naraku's matter is resolved?"

Reiko's invitations always come very suddenly, this time Kikyo also agreed without thinking too much, she said: "That's fine, dead people shouldn't stay in this world, I'll go with you."

10.

Reiko and Kikyo stayed in the Warring States Period for another period of time, eliminating those always endless time retrograde troops, and occasionally causing trouble for Naraku.

Finally, after confirming that Naraku was completely wiped out, the Jade of the Four Souls also disappeared under the efforts of Kagome and his party, and the Warring States Period could finally enter peace, Reiko took Kikyo to the Government of Time.

Before leaving, Reiko smiled and said to Kikyo, "Welcome to a new life."

-

A few months after Kikyo officially became a god judge, Kikyo invited Reiko to her Honmaru for a gathering.

Reiko was as comfortable as in her own home. She casually picked out a three-color ball from the refreshments beside her and took a bite, asking, "How is life now compared to the past in the Warring States Period?"

"Not bad." Kikyo, who maintains the demeanor of a maiden no matter when and where, showed a shallow smile, "It should be said that since I put down the task of the jade of the four souls, I feel a lot more relaxed, just like you As I said, I have a new life."

Kikyo is very satisfied with her current life, only a little perplexed: "But... why are these Token Fusangshen so... enthusiastic? It's a bit beyond my imagination."

Reiko laughed: "Haha~ There are still many interesting things to come, and the days to come are still long. Let's look forward to it."

The author has something to say:

This is the story about Reiko

It's very brief...but if you write it carefully, you can start a new article

By the way, I gave Kikyo a message to the government of the time and the god judge, and the goddess readily accepted it (by mistake)
