The garden in Honmaru is very beautiful, and has won the essence of the Japanese garden. Small ponds, moss, stone lanterns, bamboo and wood fences, simple and plain flowers, and dotted in a piece of elegance. The bright red bridge on the small pond is very eye-catching. .Jinglu made a 'duo duo' sound, which made the whole yard more elegant.

However, no one in Honmaru in the morning stops by the beautiful scenery of the courtyard, prepares a pot of good tea and wagashi, and sits on the corridor to enjoy it leisurely.

Candlestick Kiri was busy in the kitchen at this time, Horikawa Kunihiro and Sayo Samonji were cleaning.As for the pressing and cutting Hasebe, he is today's valet and is responsible for waking Anna up.

Anna herself has the habit of waking up early to exercise, and under normal circumstances, she doesn't need to be reminded by her valet to get up.However, following the summer vacation two days ago, yesterday the Japanese Chess Academy also ushered in the last instructional lesson before summer - this is not that the Chess Academy is also on summer vacation, but a special arrangement made to prepare for the professional Go exam .

Around July, there will be a qualifying competition first, that is, outsiders will compete with most of the students in the school to fight for the qualifications.Then at the beginning of August, the qualified chess players will compete with another group of college students who usually have excellent performance and have been exempted from the qualifying competition.

The three people with the best final scores will become the new first stage recognized by the Japanese Ki Academy this summer.

On the first day of school and chess academy holidays, Anna always wants to relax.So I didn't set the alarm clock, I just asked Hasebe, the next day's valet, to wake her up later.

But things like biological clocks are very powerful, and Anna got up at about the same time as usual.So she just washed up——by the time Hasebe came, she had already done a whole set of yoga on the player, and when the paper sliding door opened, Anna was wiping away her sweat.

"Hasebe? I'll take a shower and go down to have breakfast! Ah, can Hasebe help me take the chessboard downstairs to the Ohiro Room first?"

"I beg the lord!" Fu Sangsang, who had wisteria-colored eyes, was serious and terrifying, and would show 12 points of sincerity and respect to Anna's casual please.

Unlike the warm and moist loyalty in Candlestick Cut's eyes, the frenzy in this guy's eyes had frightened Anna the first time he saw Anna--this was completely different from his cold gray hair and wisteria-colored eyes.

"I am Kakiri Hasebe, as long as the master orders, I will do everything for you!" This kind of speech is not just a speech, he completely regards this sentence as his own life.

"My lord, please put it down, please? I'll clean it up for you!"

If Candlestick Kiri is nothing more than a mother taking care of some trivial matters of Anna, the 'daughter', then Hasebe, he is the kind of person that Anna can't describe... such a person.The fanaticism towards her who has the identity of the lord has reached an unbelievable level.

To be honest, Anna is a little scared, or in other words, anything that is too strong will make people scared.

So for a while after summoning Hasebe, Anna was actually avoiding him on purpose.In this case, the first one to discover was not the meticulous Candlestick Cut, but Xiao Ye who was basically inseparable from Anna.

Probably because of the short knife, Anna's intimacy with him is the most natural and obvious.If Xiao Ye was serving as a close servant, Anna could even let him sleep in her own room at his insistence.According to her cognition, maybe this is the habit of the small dagger, after all, the dagger was put under the pillow in ancient times.

Xiaoye didn't say anything in the left text, but he was the first to find out that Anna deliberately avoided cutting Hasebe-it's a very simple choice between the master and the new colleague, so he was very happy. Quickly become a good helper for Anna to avoid cutting Hasebe.

This abnormal situation quickly attracted the ideas of Candekiri and Horikawa Kunihiro, both of whom are easy-going and caring about people.

"So, Xiao Ye, what's going on." Horikawa Kunihiro can be said to be very distressed.

Because of the order of acquisition, he came to Anna before Hasebe, but he was only a week earlier than Hasebe—maybe because he has a better personality, anyway, Anna found that he adapted to the human body. After that, feel free to summon Hasebe.

It was also because the time was too short, so he didn't know Anna that deeply, and he didn't understand the current situation at all.

Saya left very few words.

"The master wishes this way, and I am fulfilling the master's wish." For Touken Fusangshin, this is probably the highest mission.

After putting down the teacup and leaving, Horikawa could only look at Candlestick Kiri, which was the first sword that came to Anna's side.And she has a stable personality, so she should be reliable.

Candlestick cut had no choice, and he didn't explain anything. Instead, he went directly to the press and cut Chang Gubu.If Horikawa Kunihiro hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Candekiri Mitsutada, who is usually very caring and good-tempered, would behave like that.

Candlestick cut Hasebe's collar and dragged him from the stairs to the corridor on the first floor: "Are you going to the third floor to find the lord?"

"It's none of your business, candlestick cut." Token Fusangshen with wisteria-colored eyes was quite indifferent, and this time it finally matched his temperament, but it was very different from when he faced Anna.

"It's none of my business." Comparable to Hasebe's indifference, Candlestick Kiri didn't seem to have a good temper.The golden eyes are full of danger, and it can be seen at this moment that he is indeed a sharp sword.

"It's just that even Xiao Ye can see that the master is afraid of you now. So stop a little bit, otherwise..." The words did not finish, but the body knife at the waist was slightly wiped away by the thumb of the other hand, A little silver-white blade was exposed.

It is obvious that Hasebe is not a good tempered existence, or he usually has a good temper, but when it comes to things about the lord, what good temper is there?That doesn't exist.If the candlestick had a knife, wouldn't he have one?

But the scabbard was pulled away, but it didn't pull it away again—although Touken Fusangshen has a deep obsession with his master, but Kikiri Hasebe is still the craziest kind that Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada knows, they You will know when both are swords.

But the insane obsession of Toujian Fusangshen often corresponds to their ropes, and the deeper the obsession, the more indestructible the shackles, binding them firmly, unable to move.The knife that cut Hasebe just showed a sharp edge, and it quickly returned to its sheath.

"What do you mean, Lord...she is afraid of me?"

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong let go of his hand: "The lord is just a little girl. If you are too aggressive in the image of an adult man, how do you think the lord will react? Even if we know that we will never hurt her, but What about the instinctive fear? That's why I asked you to restrain yourself!"

"I will never let you hurt the lord like this again!" Candlestick Kiri didn't care how much crit he caused to Yaki Hasebe. Under normal circumstances, he is definitely a good colleague, but the matter is related to Anna. If so, that's another story.

"I hurt the Lord?" This is absolutely unacceptable to Hasebe, and when he realized this, he was completely at a loss.

"Hasebe, you don't understand the young girl of the lord's age at all. It's possible to accidentally let the lord cast a shadow on men." Candlestick cut this period of time is also heart-tiring, in fact, he has endured it for a long time.

"Lord, end me. I am such an unqualified retainer... I have no face left in the world!" Yaki Hasebe bowed in front of Anna, but finally said such words. Seriously, Anna Scared to death!

"That idiot!" Candlestick, who saw this scene on the other side of the room, had nothing to say: "That guy, you really shouldn't count on his brain."

For such a terrifying request, Anna of course readily refused.

"Although I don't know why Hasebe you have such a strange idea, but... please allow me to refuse."

Anna stood up, stared at Hasebe for a while, and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, this time it's my problem——I probably know where the problem is."

"You who have just been summoned, although you have the body of an adult, you are like a child in many ways." Anna half-kneeled in front of Hasebe, the first time she really got close to him, like when she was hugging Saya Hug him as well.

She clearly knew what kind of existence Fu Sangshen was, but she still made this kind of mistake. Thinking about it, she was really terribly wrong.

"I'm sorry I made you so uneasy."

Since it was Fu Sangshen summoned by himself, in a sense, he was their mother in another sense.Although with Anna's experience and age, she can't understand the meaning of being a mother, but it's time to learn how to do it.After all, it is also the responsibility to guide the freshmen he summoned to Fusangshen.

Although there is no problem with Anna's understanding - because from the perspective of mysticism, she is indeed the 'mother' of these sword Fusangshen.But for some reason, there was always something subtly wrong.

"So, in the end, it's up to the master." Horikawa Kunihiro brought tea to the Candlestick Kiri who had just cleaned up Ohiroma: "Now Mr. Candlestick Kiri can rest assured."

"Yes, you can rest assured." Candlestick cut a self-deprecating smile: "For Hasebe, nothing is as good as the reaction of the lord."

After having a real communication with Hasebe, Anna already understood the experience and obsession of this knife.For his extraordinary eagerness, Anna felt that she and him should be considerate of each other, that is to say, each should pay attention to himself.

Anna should not be too sensitive to the approach of these swords, after all, they are already a relationship of mutual trust.For Hasebe, he should also restrain his fanaticism, at least within the range that will not cause trouble.

"Peace?" "Peace." Candekiri and Horikawa Kunihiro looked at each other and smiled.

With the first day of the holiday approaching, Anna not only did not slack off, but also worked harder.She now goes to Taya's house about once every three days. This time will be changed when Mr. Taya Yukihiro has a competition, but generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with this appearance.

During the rest of the time, she stayed at Honmaru's side, studying Go and preparing for the professional Go exam.The family members at Liu's house also understood that she was facing major events in her life and did not make her have to go back during the holidays.

After the summer officially started, the shoji door on the Honmaru side was replaced with glass, not for any other reason, but because the central air conditioner was turned on.In summer, it is impossible to live without an air conditioner—the swords are the same in this regard.

Anna concentrated on studying on the chessboard, and the rest of the swords and swords in the large room were lightened, trying not to disturb her.

"My lord, you are really serious." Horikawa was originally maintaining his sword, but he was halfway done, and was quickly attracted by Anna's concentration on Go.

At this time, the continuous injection rope and the white paper imperial coins of the Dahirojian shrine suddenly started automatically without wind, and Anna, whose spirit had been connected to the shrine through a contract, felt even more obvious.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to work overtime again." Waving to the swords that came over, Anna pointed outside: "I'm going to the shrine."

Going to a dressing room specially set up on the first floor, Anna changed into a priestess attire, muscular undergarment, white clothes, scarlet hakama, Songhe pattern Chihaya, white foot bag, red button straw sandals, long hair made of white sandalwood paper and hemp The rope is tied.Anna looked in the mirror for the last time, tied the red knot on Chihaya's skirt, and went out with the sword bell tied with five colors.

The temperature outside is indeed very high, and it will be even hotter if she wears so many layers like she is now.It's just that there is no way to do it, after all, she is going to solve problems for people who are in trouble now as a witch.

Since the shrine was built, there was no incense at the beginning.But Japan is a nation of many gods, and residents are used to worshiping any shrine around them.So gradually, Kotori Shrine has some incense.

Among them, if some people are marked by the Government of Time and need special attention, then Anna will feel it from the moment they step into the shrine.In analogy, they are VIP gold customers, and their troubles must be solved for them.

In contrast, the troubles of ordinary people are the problems of ordinary customers.Probably, if Anna thinks she should help, she can help, and if she doesn’t want to, then don’t worry about it—why is there a workshop on the third floor? If you don't help, the paperwork will be very heavy.

This is of course very unfair, but Anna will not say anything.Think about her masters and brothers and sisters, if someone who is really miserable asks for help, and there is something to help, they will also reach out.But that is by no means the normal state of their lives, and more often, only the privileged class can find them.

As for the selection criteria of the government of the time... either the current privileged class or the future privileged class, it's that simple and rude.

Anna came from the small gate between the shrine and Honmaru. For some reason, after changing into this outfit, she would subconsciously adjust her steps.The wooden clogs make a crisp "dodo" when they step on the bluestone board. This rhythm is slow, which fits the atmosphere of the shrine.

"Is there any trouble for you? Everything can be solved by me."

After Ho Chotaro rang the Honping bell, Anna, dressed as a scarlet witch in white clothes, appeared in front of her.It was as if the gods had really heard his prayer and suddenly descended from the gods.

"You..." He wanted to address her, but he didn't know the other person's name—Of course Chotaro recognized Anna!He took the initiative to like someone so outrageous things happened, how could he forget the other person.

"I am the priestess of this shrine. My surname is Liu. If you have any troubles, you can let me know and I will solve them for you." Anna also recognized Feng Chotaro, who was in the match between Aigaku and Hyotei before. She was so impressive that almost everyone remembered it.

Changtaro did not think of visiting the shrine until he encountered some strange things. To be precise, he would come in and worship at the shrine when he encountered a shrine recently.

But if someone else asked him what problem he encountered, he probably wouldn't say it.Even after witnessing the 'existence' of something out of the ordinary, he wouldn't just trust someone who just popped up out of nowhere.

But Anna's words... He opened his heart subconsciously, and there was no profound reason for what he had to say.It's just that if he refuses, he will leave. Of course he wants to talk to Anna.

Youthful feelings are always poetry.

The matter started half a month ago. When the summer was getting hotter, there was a popular game in Japan, that is 'Hyakumonogatari'.

Light the blue lanterns, light a candle in front of each person, a total of one hundred people, each tell a strange story.After speaking, blow out the candles in front of you until the last one. If you blow out, it is said that you will see something particularly terrible.

Generally speaking, people who play Hundred Stories will deliberately not blow out the last candle, so as not to get into trouble.But human beings always want to die, and there are people who insist on blowing out the last candle in order to stimulate.

Anna also knows the game of Hundred Stories. It feels a bit like something that would happen when enjoying the cool in the countryside of China - children running around, some of them sitting on small benches around the oldest great-grandmother in the family, while shaking holding a big cattail fan, and then told a strange story passed down by the older generation.

The kind of old strange stories are not like many modern ghost horror stories, which have many gimmicks and deliberately create a kind of scare.But there will be a kind of cooling that slowly spreads to the skin-probably because of this effect, this kind of activity is more and more popular when enjoying the cool in summer.

Anna reckons this is the case in China, and it should be the same in Japan.Then because of this habit, the Hundred Monogatari was slowly extended.

According to Changtaro's narration, Anna had a general understanding of what happened.Speaking of which, although Hundred Story is famous, compared to other similar games, not many people play it.The reason is that one hundred people are required to play Hundred Monogatari, and it is very difficult to gather a hundred people to tell ghost stories together.

Feng Changtaro was dragged to the school's "Supernatural Research Club" by a classmate. This is a big activity of the "Supernatural Research Club" before the summer vacation.The supernatural research club is an unpopular club in the Ice Emperor Academy, with only about a dozen members. In order to hold this activity, every member is frantic in recruiting classmates.

Hochotaro, who is used to being a good guy and is not good at rejecting others, will certainly not be let go.

"Did you blow out the last candle?" Anna's face was white and flawless, and her expression was between indifference and pity. She might not even know what she looked like when she entered the working state.

"Yes... yes." Chotaro didn't even dare to look directly at Anna for too long - if he looked at Anna for too long, would he be noticed? Liusang who has a boyfriend... should be very troubled.

"Feng Jun, are you bragging?" Anna asked again.

"No, it's not." This was a quick answer, which is probably why Chotaro wasn't sure if it had something to do with the last time he played 'Hundred Monogatari'.Because the classmate who participated in Hundred Stories last time, the rest of the 100 people had no problems. He was not the first to tell the story, nor was he the last, so is he unlucky?

Anna looked at each other up and down. Chotaro's physique is full of yang, and his fortune is also very good-whether he is born well enough, or he will succeed in his own struggle in the future, it actually represents his strong fortune.In this case, even if there are some troubles, they should not find him.

"The inspiration is very strong." Anna could only shake her head like this in the end.

According to Feng Chotaro's description, he felt very tired when he got up in the morning probably on the second day after Hyakumonogatari.

When he opened the window, he felt that something was wrong that day, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.It was only later that I felt that the shadow that day was very strange. It didn't look like he was alone, but more like the shadows of two people overlapped together.

But nothing strange happened in the morning, until noon, he put on his racket and went out - because the Tennis Club of Hyotei Academy was recommended by the organizer Tokyo, so it was able to participate in this year's national competition, and now it is When tennis training is tight.

He remembered very clearly that at 12 noon, the back of his neck suddenly became cold.I thought it was an illusion at the time, but the strange things that started after that were not fake.

"Strange thing, what is that?"
