Special investigation report from Yokohama

Seeing that Night Breeze took away the last sliver of ashes, Zong San removed the hand that was covering the God Judge, and looked down at the God Judge in his arms.At the time of his manifestation, the young Inquisitor was already a reliable lord through all hardships.No matter what kind of adversity she faced, her expression never faltered. On the battlefield, her strong will was enough to make his body tremble with excitement. Zong San had never seen her so precarious.

"Master." Zong San Zuowen silently swallowed all the comforting words back into his throat, and only called softly.

"I'm here." Hong Yao closed her eyes forcefully, and when she opened her eyes again, except for a slightly hoarse voice, she couldn't see the appearance of being on the verge of collapse just now.

She turned her head and glanced in the direction where Umaru was standing. He had left the park without a sound at some point, and the place was now empty...not surprising.

Umaru... what exactly do you want to do?Before Hong Yao could think about it, footsteps came from behind.

She turned around and nodded slightly to the person who came by: "Mr. Dazai."

Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say, Zong San Zuowen took the initiative to take a step back and stood behind the God Inspector, his hand without a knife still protecting Hong Yao's back, giving her silent support.Hong Yao turned her back to the moonlight, her expression was not clear, but Osamu Dazai could feel that she had restrained her fragility just now, and turned back into the invincible and invincible young commander.

Osamu Dazai stopped three steps away from her, and thoughtfully did not look at her reddish eyes.He raised his hands consciously and tilted his head: "Uh, lighter?"

Hong Yao realized that he was apologizing for the previous "outrageous words", she hooked the corners of her lips, trying to tease him with a cooperating smile, but failed.So she no longer forced herself, just shook her head slightly at him: "I should thank Dazai-kun."

The two of them knew what they were grateful for.Osamu Dazai opened his mouth, unexpectedly lacking in words.

Compared to expressing thanks in such a gentle and restrained manner, he would rather have red medicine's more intense emotions.However, he also knew very well that whether it was due to her position or because of her natural gentleness, Hong Yao would not show the slightest bit in front of him with more intense emotions than this.

And it is impossible for him to stand by her side and accept all her emotions without any scruples like the fusangshen - nor will she allow it.

So Osamu Dazai obediently closed his mouth, walked a few steps to the side, and made way for Hongyao.

Hong Yao didn't leave immediately. Even if the situation was unacceptable, she had to perform the aftermath duties that she was supposed to perform.The situation tonight was beyond everyone's expectations, and there would only be more things waiting for her to deal with.

So she cleared up her mood and spoke again: "Please keep what happened tonight Dazai-kun a secret for the time being. There must be something hidden behind this incident. I need time to conduct more investigations. If Dazai-kun has any clues here, please don't let me know." Conceal it. In addition, I am worried that the retrograde army will sneak attack on you, if..."

In order to control her emotions, she speaks very slowly so that the hoarseness in her voice can be heard more clearly.The voice of Hongyao was very nice, and the slight hoarseness was heard in Dazai Osamu's ears, like a few grains of sand hidden in fresh blue crab meat, which made people feel uncomfortable from the ears to the bottom of their hearts.

"Miss." He interrupted her in a bad tone, "What you need now is rest."

Red Medicine fell silent.She no longer deliberately maintained a calm expression, and after a brief daze, the tiredness and emptiness that could not be concealed slowly climbed onto her face.

"Then, I'll stay with you for now." She said softly, bowed her head towards Osamu Dazai, and walked away slowly under the shadow cast by the moonlight in front of her.

Zong San Zuo Wenwen followed behind her, and Osamu Dazai stood where he was, watching the pair of ministers walk away slowly.

The Dark Fallen Swords that they have been besieging for a long time are actually the swords of the previous Honmaru of the God Judge—this fact has caused an uproar in Honmaru.Zong Sanzuo told his colleagues what he had witnessed without any concealment.Xiao Ye is not there, Jiang Xue is not good at comforting others just like him, the first person he chooses to tell is his companion who used to be in Oda's house.

We all know his character, and when encountering this kind of thing, he can barely make it worse, so don't even think about comforting the judge in a soft voice.Yaken Toshiro stood up: "Where is the general?"

Zong San glanced out the window: "Go back and rest."

That being said, whether he can fall asleep is also a problem.Yao Yan also glanced out the window, seeing that the light in Hong Yao's room was off, he picked up the body and walked out: "I'm going to watch the night."

No one robbed him, and the footsteps of the dagger quickly disappeared along the edge.Hasebe looked out of the window worriedly, looking like he wanted to follow but tried his best to restrain himself. In the end, he stood up with a dark face: "I'll go find Yingmaru."

"Mr. Hasebe, don't be impatient." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada stopped him, "After all, when Zong Sanjun was summoned by the master, he didn't see what Yingmaru did. If you go to Mr. Yingmaru now, he may also Can't give any valuable reference."

These words were very reasonable, and Yaki Hasebe had to succumb.Candlestick pondered for a moment, then looked at Zongsan: "I'm going to visit that Dazai Osamu now, thank you Zongsan-kun with me. Ah... It would be great if Mr. Tsuru was still in Honmaru, you can ask him about the old vibe About Mr. Maru. It’s a pity that he just left this afternoon, saying that there is still something to investigate.”

"Let me ask Jinjian and Luan." Fudo Xingguang took the initiative to speak.

These two vibrating short swords had nothing to do with Yingmaru when they were swords. After the owner, due to the difference in the type of sword and personality, the relationship with Yingmaru can only be said to be average.But now it's too late to contact Tsurumaru who has gone somewhere, so he can only be a dead horse like a living horse doctor.Fudo Yukimitsu also left the room very quickly, Hasebe took a deep breath: "I went to find Higakiri and Horikawa Kunihiro, they were ordered by the master to investigate the dark sword, they must know something."

When it came to the mental state of the god judge, the swordsmen didn't dare to delay for half a minute, and they split up and acted immediately after making a plan.It was really impolite to visit in the middle of the night, but Zongsan Zuofuji and Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada couldn't care less about it. They prepared gifts and asked Imaken, who was in charge of the night patrol tonight, to guide the way. The three of them visited the Armed Detective Agency in the dark staff quarters.

Before he could knock, the door was opened from the inside.The black-haired young man was well-dressed and did not look like he had ever fallen asleep. Without any surprise, he looked at the three visiting people one by one, then pointed to the gift box in Candlestick Cut's hand, and said unceremoniously, "Does it smell like crab meat?"

Candlestick cut showed a perfect smile: "I have heard that Imaken said about Dazai-kun's preferences. This is a new crab-flavored snack that Xiaodou and I tried. I invite Dazai-kun to taste it."

Attitude is not important, the other party's willingness to receive them is already a sign of willingness to help.

So Osamu Dazai took another look at him, turned back and walked into the room: "Let me tell you in advance, you may not get the answer you want from me."

The area of ​​the single dormitory is quite limited, Zong San and Imai took the initiative to stay outside the door, only Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada followed Dazai Osamu and walked in: "You are willing to see us, you have helped us a lot."

Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, what happened tonight also had a big impact on Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada.He sighed softly, showing a little worry: "Master, she doesn't need anyone to comfort her, and we are the least qualified to comfort her. But even so, we must at least know how to accompany her."

Osamu Dazai turned his head when he heard the words, and looked at Candlestick Kiri with a little surprise.It was only then that Candlestick Che realized that it might not be suitable to say this in front of him, and smiled embarrassedly: "Please forget my uncool speech just now, we just want to know what happened tonight."

"No, I'm just..." Osamu Dazai paused, "I kind of understand why she's so persistent."

Before today, Osamu Dazai saw that the relationship between the red medicine and the swords was closer to the relationship between superiors and subordinates.Although the relationship between superiors and subordinates is more intimate than that of the modern workplace, it is not surprising to think about the way she treats others.However, no matter how close they are, the subordinate should not go beyond the superior to find him to understand the situation, nor should he care too much about the superior's inner emotional world.

That's not called caring, it's called crossing the line.Only when they love and trust Hong Yao as a family member, can they calmly do this kind of thing that seems to be tabooed by the most powerful people.

Dazai Osamu was distracted for a while, remembering the appearance of Koyaku standing in front of Ying Wan and forcing him to draw his sword not long ago.If there was such undefended trust and dependence between them, then it is not surprising that Hong Yao, who has always been good at controlling her emotions, would lose her composure like that.

Although it was the first time they met, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada miraculously understood Dazai Osamu's expression.The young man sighed silently, and in the golden eyes exposed outside the blindfold, there was a bit of unspeakable complex emotion: "That Mr. Yingmaru is one of the first batch of subordinates of the master. , who did not show up for a long time, Mr. Yingmaru, as the most respected person at that time, supported the operation of the organization together with several others, and returned to her after the arrival of the master."

So he was not only Hong Yao's deeply trusted subordinate and family member, but also thought of Hong Yao's age at that time, he probably also played the role of elder and teacher for a time.And he himself was not interested in power, otherwise, with his ability, he could have easily emptied the then immature red medicine - in general, there was no reason for betrayal at all.

Such a person... If he hadn't been too naked in wanting to use himself to lure the red medicine into the trap, and almost drew his sword against the red medicine, maybe even Dazai Osamu would suspect that he endured humiliation and went deep into the enemy's camp.

"Is it okay to tell me?" Osamu Dazai asked.

"I think," Candlestick replied without any hesitation, "you can be trusted when it comes to dealing with your master—someone told me so."

who?Osamu Dazai became interested in this person, but Candlestick clearly didn't intend to tell him.There are many opportunities to explore this kind of question, Dazai Osamu told Candlestick Kiri briefly about the two meetings with Umaru, and asked with great interest, "What do you think of Candlestick Kiri-kun?"

"Since Mr. Yingmaru didn't hurt the master," Candlestick replied tactfully, "then it is impossible for the master to believe his 'betrayal'."

After all, he lost interest in staying and quickly got up to leave.Osamu Dazai waved his hand casually, and fell down on the bed listening to the footsteps of the three leaving outside the door.

"...Doesn't he think it's a betrayal?"

Although Candlesticks said it very euphemistically, Osamu Dazai could still see what he was thinking.Apparently, Candlestick also thinks that there is something hidden behind the performance of this unknown Fu Sangshen.This is probably not only based on the understanding of Fusangshen like "Ying Wan", but also from the analysis of his performance, it is more based on the trust in Hong Yao himself.

He trusted Hong Yao as the lord, and would not do anything that would make Yingmaru betray him.

...What a luxurious and blind trust.

After waking up the next day, Hong Yao could notice the subtle changes in the Fusangshen.She also knew what Zong San said, but they didn't mention it, and she would not take the initiative to mention it, and silently accepted the kindness of the Fusangshen.

Turning around in the yard, Koyaku returned to the room, and saw Yaken Toshiro serving breakfast on the dining table.

"Yaoyan?" She called out, "Is this your servant today?"

"I changed shifts with Hasebe. It's just a day's delay, he can bear it."

The red medicine is dumb.

As Yao Yan said, there is only one day, if he didn't know what happened last night, he wouldn't need to be in such a hurry.

"... Thank you for your hard work." Hong Yao understood his worry, but didn't know how to bring it up, so she could only say, "I'm fine."

Yaoyan put away the tray and chuckled a few times: "I know. I just want to do something that only I can do now."

Hong Yao was taken aback.

These were the words in a letter that Yao Yan sent her. The next day after receiving the letter, Yao Yan, who practiced extremely, returned to her side without stopping.

She sat at the table, patted the tatami beside her, and signaled Yaoyan to sit beside her: "Thank you, Yaoyan. But..."

But what, she didn't think about it.Yaken Fujishiro smiled, and helped her put the chopsticks: "But I have been taking care of the general, and occasionally I want to say a few words to the general."

As he spoke, he knelt down beside Hong Yao on one knee.

"I'm not as caring as my brothers, and I don't know what happened to Yaken Toshiro. But General, since I manifested in this Honmaru, the power of your soul has never changed color. No matter before or now, Yaken Kento Shiro's desire to protect it has never changed."

As he spoke, he raised his head and handed the body to Hongyao with both hands: "I also have the name of Fujishiro. If one day this sword is so reduced that even the guards can't tell it apart, please break it with your own hands." .”

The author has something to say:

Yao Zong (no matter which one it is) is really very reliable.

[Yao always wants to express that no matter how Yaken Toshiro behaves after losing his mind, he will definitely approve of Hongyao in his heart.And as a sword with the name of guardian, he would rather die in the hands of the master than be used to hurt the master (I don’t know if I wrote this feeling in the text, scratching my head
