Night Rabbit Inquisitor

Open the door, close the door, open the door, close the door.

After Shenyao repeated this action many times, she was finally convinced that it wasn't the way she opened the door that had a problem today, but that something was really wrong with her Honmaru.

She took a deep breath and closed the door heavily, with a suspicious expression on her face.

Kagura looked at Kagami who was trembling all over, and asked tentatively, "Are you okay, old lady?"

Tsurumaru also leaned over, and asked meaningfully, "Are you all right? My lord?"

"It's okay." Shenyao smiled slightly, and wanted to dig his head into the trash can on the side of the road, but found that there was no trash can on the side of the road: "I have to calm down. Anyway, our task now is to find the time machine..."

"No! Sister, there is no such thing as a time machine in this world, Sister! Calm down, Sister!" Kagura tried to stop Kagami's horrible behavior by holding on to Kagami's waist: "It's just living Is the place slightly different from before? Don’t be too hard on it, old lady!”

"That's not called a little bit! That's called a billion points!"

The elder sister's strength was too great, and Kagura found that she couldn't control her movements at all, so she turned her head stiffly and stared at Tsurumaru, motioning him to hurry up and help her.

Tsurumaru, on the other hand, seemed to have a psychological shadow on Sister Yatusa, shaking his head desperately, no matter how Kagura gave him winks, he refused to go forward.

At this time, the nearby sword probably heard the movement outside, and the gate of Honmaru was opened.

"My lord, my lord?!" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong who opened the door was shocked: "When did you leave the hospital? Why did you come back without saying hello...?"

He subconsciously glanced at Honmaru behind him, coughed, took a step forward, and closed the door behind him pretending to be a cover-up.

"There's no need to turn it off..." Shen Yao covered her face, her expression unrequited, "I've seen almost everything I should have seen."

God, the whole scene of a disaster.

She hasn't returned to Honmaru for a few days, what terrible thing happened here?

"My lord actually saw such an uncool look..." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada expressed helplessness: "We originally thought that we would tell you about this after you recovered from your injuries in this world. At that time, Honmaru It will be repaired urgently.”

"Because Tsurumaru has confessed almost everything that should be confessed, I just wanted to come back and see what Honmaru has become now..." Shen Yao raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "This is really a big shock Ah, I'm beginning to regret that I used too little strength when I was close to Tsurumaru just now."

"Guangfang!" Tsurumaru seemed to have found a life-saving straw, shrank behind the candlestick with tears in his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Help, it's so scary, the one just now, my lord, is not called hand-to-hand at all, it's called to take out the usual retrograde army." Hit me with a broom!"

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong's expression was full of love: "My lord really shouldn't be like this."

Tsurumaru nodded frequently: "That's right."

"My lord, everyone in Honmaru should take turns to give you a hand match."

Tsurumaru: "...Hmm."

—

No matter how much she didn't want to admit the fact that Honmaru had become a demolition site, Shenyao took her sister and walked there.

The swordsmen were wearing inner uniforms, repairing the collapsed buildings in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere was in full swing.

After all, this is not the first time that everyone has refurbished Honmaru's buildings.

"Master?!" Kasen Kanesada, who was fetching water by the river, found Shenyao, put down the bucket and walked forward, asking, "Why are you back? Is your injury better?"

"The wound on the body is almost healed, but the wound on the heart still cannot heal for a long time." Shen Yao covered her face.

Kasen Kanesada: "You mean..."

"If I let Tsurumaru carry the beam over there, maybe I'll feel better." Shenyao raised a finger.

Song Xian Kanesada nodded in understanding, clapped his hands, and then Qianzicunzheng and Da Baoping appeared on the left and right, set up Tsurumaru who was hiding behind the candlestick, and dragged the boy who was shouting "No, no, no, no, no!" Tsurumaru walked in the direction of Ohiroma.

"Wow! My lord—you have no heart!"

Tsurumaru, who was the male on the left and right, wiped away bitter tears.

"Huhuhuhu... Your Excellency Tsurumaru should hurry to take off your clothes with everyone, and it would be better to sweat in the labor." Qianzicun Masa smiled charmingly.

"Who wants to take it off!"

"Stop talking, every time something good happens in Honmaru, you will definitely be indispensable." Da Baoping picked up the groaning Crane Maru, his expression unmoved: "If you don't hurry up and rebuild it for Da Hiroma , Where should the lord's promotion banquet be held? Hurry up and hurry up."

Seeing Tsurumaru being dragged away, Kamyo looked away mercilessly, and looked at Kasen Kanesada and Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada: "So, what happened? Really, Tsurumaru just collapsed Honmaru with a male blade Yet?"

She didn't know that Tsurumaru's fighting power was so strong, it seemed that he had to increase the intensity of the seamless expedition for him.

"No... that... Actually, the collapse of the main pill this time was caused by Tsurumaru's digging through the main pill, and the main reason was... a certain Russian." Kasen Kanesada sighed: "It's really unrefined ah."

"...Russian?" Shenyao quickly remembered the human-shaped black mud she met on the Yokohama River that day, and she asked suspiciously: "What does it have to do with him? Could it be that one of you brought Honmaru back for him?" No?"

"..."

"No way?" Shen Yao was shocked: "He really caught him?"

Just when Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Utasen Kanesada thought that the lord was going to blame them for not respecting other people's right to life and freedom at all, they only heard Shenyao let out a long sigh: "Aren't you stupid, to catch him back?"

Kasen Kanesada: "Huh?"

"To tell you the truth, even Sankayue, Tochikiri, and An Ding's black belly can't compete with that human-shaped self-propelled black mud... You actually caught such a human-shaped Holy Grail back when I was away... Shenyao said helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay, think about the good, at least my castle tower hasn't collapsed, and the current political secrets inside are still there."

Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Utasen Kanesada looked at each other.

This is not at all the same as the reaction of the protagonist they imagined.

"Russian...?" Kagura touched his chin: "Oh! I remembered Aru! Is he the one who took the old lady's money to buy clothes, turned his head and ran away when he was done? Boyfriend?!"

Guangzhong's mother drew the knife urgently.

What?The lord was cheated of money by that little boy from Russia?

"Don't just say such things that are easy to be misunderstood by others, Kagura-chan." Shenyao covered her face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Why did he use my money to buy clothes..."

However, Shizheng did make some compensation for the clothing store and shopping mall that were accidentally injured, right?

"All in all, as a night rabbit, the lord is very vigilant. You can tell at a glance whether a human is an angel or a demon inside." Shenyao tiptoed and patted Guangzhong's shoulder: "Guangzhong, you don't It's great that something happened, by the way, where is the Russian now?"

"..."

Shenyao looked at her two swords that had quieted down, took a deep breath, and asked tentatively, "Did he... escape?"

Every god-inspector in the Government of Time has his own Honmaru, which cultivates their swordsmen. There are interlinked trails between each Honmaru, connecting the spaces of each Honmaru, large and small.

Shen Yao thought that when his swordsmen faced that Russian black mud, at least they had a bit of force value and self-protection ability. If other swordsmen below A-level Honmaru met him, it would really be called meeting him. The pure and harmless little sheep of the big bad wolf.

"Which Honmaru did he escape? Will the other Honmaru's judges at least give some news?" Shenyao asked.

"No, that..." Gexian Kanesada hesitated to speak, "Actually, he didn't escape from any Honmaru."

They stopped each other at the kendo hall that day, and after learning that this was a suspicious person behind the scenes captured from the world of the lord's mission, they changed to a small black room where Tsurumaru didn't dig a tunnel and locked him up.

"We didn't expect that there would be a bomb hidden in that seemingly weak young man." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said solemnly: "We didn't even expect that the explosion would cause a chain reaction..."

In the entire Honmaru, not a single one survived where Tsurumaru took out.

"Then I really misunderstood Tsurumaru." After listening to Shenyao, he sighed: "So? Where did he escape? Don't tell me that he escaped from the time-space converter to Another world or something."

"After Miss Kagura's lesson, we have taken protective measures for the space-time converter." Kasen Kanesada said: "But...he touched the teleporter you left for Mr. Gintoki before."

Shen Yao took a deep breath: "That, that is to say..."

"Yeah." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada nodded: "The current Mr. Russia is currently hiding in Edo in World Y."

"Mr. Gintoki and Mr. Shimura took a few swords to Edo to find someone, but there is no news so far."

World Y is also a timeline within its own jurisdiction.

Oh shit, it's over, her fishing holiday is over.

Shenyao's heart is chilled.

Shenyao set up an awning to look at the miserable state of his own Honmaru, pondered for a while, put on a handsome posture, and said in a low voice: "Fyodor Miha... What's wrong with Miha?"

Kagura realized that her sister might want to pronounce the other party's name and say harsh words, so she reminded: "Swarovski?"

"It doesn't sound like..." Shenyao put on a steamed bun face and pondered for a while, and then returned to a serious face in a second: "In short, what is that Tuo Si, he made my honmaru like this, I remember him .”

"After I catch him back from Edo—" Shenyao smiled slightly, flexing his wrists: "I must put him and Tsurumaru together, and lock him up for three days and three nights."

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong: ...he is not guilty of this.

—

In the building of the port mafia headquarters, in the chief's office on the top floor.

"What would you like to drink?"

Mori Ogai looked at the uninvited guest sitting in front of him with a stern face, and asked with a smile.

The young man in front of him had black hair and red eyes, wearing a black robe, exuding a cold and murderous aura.

Unlike Alice, who was vigilant, Mori Ogai didn't seem to notice the scary aura of the other party at all, and treated him with an easy-going attitude, just like treating a friend who came to visit.

"No need." Although the kaleidoscope in Itachi's eyes did not move, the threat hidden in it was self-evident: "I just want to communicate with the leader, it's just a contract between our two organizations."

"Don't worry, your organization has been classified as the top secret by the port mafia, and even the five major cadres need strict permission to know this information." Mori Ogai put his hands together against his chin, quietly looking at Itachi: " As for the little girl who maintains our world history, we are even less likely to leak her information, and we will definitely give her preferential treatment as a distinguished guest in the future, and we will help where there is a need for help."

Itachi's expression softened a little.

But it's only a little bit. Thinking about how this human being in front of him has reached his current position by any means and what he has done to Oda Saku and those children, he is destined to never give Mori Ogai the slightest bit. Good wink.

"I hope you can remember your words well." Itachi stared at Mori Ogai's smiling eyes, and said word by word: "You must never hurt that girl, let alone try to use her to change history. Or peek into the future."

"Sir, you seem to distrust me very much." Mori Ogai frowned.

"It's not very distrustful." Itachi's tone was cold: "It's very distrustful."

This sentence, which looked like a cold joke, made the atmosphere in the office even more rigid.

"Don't be so nervous, she is my sister who is cherished by my important subordinates." Mori Ogai smiled very gently, like a harmless ordinary middle-aged man: "So, please rest assured."

I don't know how long it took before Mori Ogai felt the chill and coercion from the opponent's sight slowly disappear.

However, he was quiet and easy-going from beginning to end, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't notice any discomfort.

"Then, excuse me." Itachi suddenly remembered something, took out a book from his arms, and put it in front of Mori Ogai: "This is a novel that our organization has been very popular recently. The name of the character is exactly the same as yours, I think it is very fate, so I specially leave it for you to read."

Alice breathed a long sigh of relief when the uninvited guest disappeared from the room with a wave of his robe. She frowned and complained, "It's so scary, Rintaro, he really looks scarier than Q." Ten thousand times."

Mori Ogai touched Alice's head, and there seemed to be little flowers floating behind him: "If I want to protect the lovely Alice-chan, I can become as scary as him."

"Huh...? Stop it, it's so disgusting." Alice frowned, patted Mori Ogai's hand away with a look of disgust, and ran away.

Mori Ogai: ... a little hurt.

But... that is really an unfathomable mysterious organization, not only able to span time and space, but also has so many loyal and powerful subordinates.

If I'm lucky, I really want to communicate with the leader behind that organization.

And, what kind of person would that leader be?

Mori Ogai lowered his head, looking at the novel left to him by the powerful gentleman who verbally warned him to test him just now, guessing that the other party must have some hidden meaning in it.

What would it mean?

The cover of this novel is exquisitely packaged, and some words of praise for the author are written on the cover, such as "created a literary precedent in current affairs, and is worthy of being the adult who guides newcomers."

The title of the novel is "Shadow Era".

Mori Ogai opened the novel with a smile, flipped through it briefly, and the more he looked at the back, his smile gradually froze.

Not because of anything else, because the name of the villain in the book is "Mori Ogai", and the final ending is very tragic.

Always feel offended.

...But thinking about it, at least he can understand what the gentleman was metaphorically speaking just now.

but……

Mori Ogai closed the book slowly, flicked the cover, and murmured: "Is the world after death...?"

—

"Brother Zhongye!"

Shen Yao waved her hands excitedly all the way, and ran towards Zhong Yuan Zhong Ye's position.

He was admonishing the new batch of subordinates pretending to be serious. After seeing the Shenyao, Chuya stopped being serious for a moment.

The subordinates watched helplessly as the gravitational force of Hong Kong gangsters made outsiders frightened, stretched their eyebrows, reached out and touched their sister's head, and asked in a very gentle tone: "What happened? You came here suddenly?"

"Because I've fully recovered." Shen Yao said with a smile, "I don't need to stay in the hospital any longer. I want to see what Brother Zhongye is doing."

Zhongyuan Zhong also turned his head and saw that his subordinates were looking at Shenyao with curiosity in their eyes, and waved his hand: "There is nothing more to say, today's tasks are over, you should go back early."

Master Chuya rarely let them go back early instead of working overtime.

The eyes of the subordinates looking at Shenyao were filled with gratitude, and they didn't rush to leave until Chuya's piercing gaze came over.

Not far away, Kagura is holding the communicator of Kagami and calling Xinghai Fangzhu: "Hey, Dad, I have something to tell you, Alu."

"Huh? Are you busy over there? Are you calling some cosmic monster? It's not something important and I'm going to hang up, Aru?"

"Well, there's nothing very important to tell Dad. It's just that Mommy has been resurrected, and she has transformed from a star in the sky back to Mommy."

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and then a middle-aged man's shocked voice sounded: "What???!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly, Daddy, if your emotions fluctuate too much, the hair follicles on the top of your head will die prematurely, Alu!" I don’t know how to control my emotions at all, Aru.”

Chuya: ...No, no matter how old a man is, he will be more or less shocked when he learns that his dead wife has suddenly come back to life.

"However, Dad is very busy right now, so there's nothing I can do about it, Aru. I'll tell Dad about Aru in detail after I finish fighting the monsters." Kagura said as he gestured to hang up the phone.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Xinghai Fangzhu yelled from the other end: "Don't hang up the phone! I'm free! I'm more free than ever!"

"No, Dad must deal with space monsters well than now."

"Don't! Little Kagura, what's going on about the mother's resurrection?? Please, talk to Dad carefully!"

"Father, if you want to know the specific situation, come to Edo on Earth as soon as you finish fighting the monsters." Shenyao almost felt that the father on the other end of the phone was about to cry anxiously, so he comforted him with nice words: " Don't worry, everything is fine with us and mom."

The owner of Xinghaifang was moved: "Ah, Yaoyao is indeed Dad's caring little padded jacket, so considerate."

Shenyao ignored his father's praise and sighed inwardly.

However, mother, after seeing the bald man's current appearance, is not sure whether she will be fine in the future.

Shen Yao suddenly remembered something, and turned around: "By the way, Brother Nakaya, is there any reliable hospital in Yokohama? I probably need to make an appointment for a hair transplant surgery. Money is not a problem, the important thing is to keep the hair well covered." live."

Master Xinghaifang at the other end: "...Huh?"

What's the meaning?Is his lovely and gentle eldest daughter disgusted with his current hairstyle?Do you think his hairstyle will bother your mother?

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded: "Ah, of course."

Master Xinghaifang: "!! Wait! Ruo Yao! Did a man's voice come from your side just now? Ruo Yao, you heard from your father that all men on earth are very bad. No matter how well they behaved before marriage, they are guaranteed to deceive you. You must not marry far away on the earth—"

Shenyao took the communicator from Kagura's hand with a blank face, and hung up it with a snap while his father was still chattering on the other end.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He was a little surprised by her father's remarks at first, but after seeing Shen Yao's frown, he asked hesitantly, "Are you angry?"

"It's not that I'm angry...it's because I feel that Dad is always like this, making assumptions based on his own subjective impression..."

It was the same when he was in Luoyang.

My father didn't know how the whole family endured other people's eyes and ridicule, but when they saw Shenwei knocking down the gangsters who came to find fault, they severely reprimanded Shenwei and told him not to bully the weak.

If father could stay in Luoyang for a few more days and see the environment they were in at that time, he probably wouldn't be so arbitrarily denying what Shenwei did to protect her and her mother at that time.

"Don't be angry because of me and your father, Shenyao." Zhong also smiled helplessly, and put his hand on Shenyao's head: "It's like playing a child's temper."

"I didn't play childish temper! Brother Zhongye is obviously a very good person! There is no such thing as sweet talk and no self-improvement! I don't like to see others speak ill of you! No one is allowed!" Shen Yao stamped her feet indignantly : "And these adjectives should be put on that, that guy who was entangled with his mother before and died in love!"

Osamu Dazai, who was far away from the Armed Detective Agency, sneezed loudly.

Nakahara Chuya: ...That's right.

Feeling the strange atmosphere here, Kagura clenched his hands and coughed vigorously in order to distract the elder sister from her attention: "Old sister, you have forgotten the purpose of our coming here."

"...Ah, yes." Shen Yao finally came to his senses: "Well, Brother Nakaya, I may have to leave Yokohama for a few days to find someone in another world, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his eyebrows: "...Looking for someone?"

"Well, although he is also from Yokohama, but the specific situation is a bit complicated." Kamyo rested his chin: "Mr. Gintoki and the others went there, but they haven't brought back news for a long time, so I want to go see it with Kagura look."

After all, it was such a dangerous and cunning humanoid black mud.

"...I understand." Zhong Yuan was silent for a while, and then asked suddenly: "Since he is a guy from Yokohama, maybe there will be some dangerous elements with powerful supernatural powers... Do you want me to go with you?" ?”

Shen Yao: "... Huh?"
