"Can't bear to hear: Monkeys cry in a lonely house, dirty words in the marketplace, the sound of chopping in an inn, the crying husband of a young woman, the crying son of an old man, the magpie after falling behind, the night call of a beggar, the sound of mourning music, and the beggar before reaching the rank of a soldier."

Sanchū Sōjin took a sip of wine and said,

"What the main hall is reading is the language of the Tang people, right?"

"Eh …?

Yes. "

Junka Hoshino put down the book in her hand, "I don't know why this book is here. I found it interesting after reading a few pages, so I took it and read it.

Has the Sanri Yue Temple also heard of 'Miscellaneous Works'? "

They were sitting under the eaves of the Kazuya House in the dream.

She did not know if it was an illusion, but if the scene in the dream before was like the moon in the water, as if it would shatter with a slight touch, then the dream now was like a glass with fog wiped away, real and beautiful.

"Hahaha, I've stayed in Ping 'an for a long time."

Every movement, every frown, and every smile was like an elegant Fu Mourning God of Ping 'an. He did not show a nostalgic or even sad expression as Junka thought. He just smiled gently, raised his hand to fill his glass, and then changed the topic.

"What I can teach the main hall is almost done." He said, "Out of the 24 Vibrating Swords here, the main hall has summoned 20 Vibrating Swords.

What do you plan to do next? "

It was only then that Chun Xia realized that five days had already passed.

"The recent days have been too easy.

I feel that everything is on the right track. "She smiled bitterly," Unknowingly, it's time to make a decision again? "

The past five days were the happiest period of her life.

The daily routine was to summon the three Swords Fu Mourning God. As for other things … even if she wanted to do it, the short swords would always be one step ahead of her.

Hirano Fujishiro brought the other swords to stay behind in This Pill (let's call it that for the time being) to hunt, collect herbs, and repair the house, which made Junka scared. She was always afraid that One Period One Rise would accuse her of abusing children.

The pharmacist, Teng Shiro, acted as her personal attendant and never left her side. He managed her and Honmaru's affairs in an orderly manner.

Thinking about it, she was a little slack in this atmosphere.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Sanchū Sōjin put his finger in front of her eyes and shook it gently, "Yes, yes, it's not like this."

Junka looked at him.

"Summoning the Swords Fu Mourning God, organizing the swords left in This Pill, sending some of the swords to other places to scout, and secretly asking Hirano to find tools for the swords … We saw everything that the main hall did."

His tone was the same as usual, flat and gentle, with a trace of unquestionable grace, "It's because you did so well that we want you to give us the next order."

Junka bit her lower lip, "Can I do anything?"

"Yes, anything."

In the courtyard in the dream, the rain fell, the cherry blossoms were faint, and the frogs croaked, but it made the surroundings even more silent.

"Then I … want to go out with everyone."

After hesitating for a moment, the girl said so.

Early the next morning, Junka told her servant what happened in the dream last night.

Kendo, who already knew that Junka and Sanchū's dreams were connected, was not surprised. After Junka told him everything, he asked calmly, "Did the general really say that to the Sanri Yue Temple?"

"Yes."

After a pause, Junka explained, "Today, Hall Ishikaga Maru and Jiangxue Hall will stay in This Pill, so you don't have to worry too much about the safety of This Pill …"

"That's not what I meant."

The medicine researcher, Teng Shiro, swiftly handed his body to Chun Xia. "If the Main Hall wants to go out with them, please take me with you."

Junka was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile, "Kendo, I will take you with me."

After all, other than her, no one else could see him.

But this reason could not be told to Kendo. _ (: 3) ∠) _

In the new house that had just been built, a similar conversation took place.

"You agreed just like that?"

Unexpectedly, the first to express disapproval was One Period One Rise, "The main hall is still young, how can he go with us to the abandoned Otsuka Shrine?"

If anything happened …

"One Period One Rise is not an alarmist."

As the Odachi that had always been enshrined in the shrine, Ishikaga Maru had a considerable right to speak, "Indeed, no one knows what is left in this abandoned shrine, and what kind of danger it will bring to the main hall."

"Just as Hall Ishikaga Maru said."

Yi Qi Yizhen's expression was cold and solemn, and he had the aura of a man who had shaken the world on the battlefield back then. "Then, Three Sun Moon Hall, according to my understanding, you would never make a decision rashly.

Can you tell us why you agreed to the main hall's request? "

"Reason?"

The Old Saber of Safety, who was unmoved by force or persuasion, smiled and said calmly, "This is the decision made by the main hall.

Isn't this reason enough? "

The temperature in the house dropped to freezing point.

One Period One Rise looked at Tsurumaru Kuninaga, trying to get a breakthrough from him.

However, Crane, who was wearing a pure white internal affairs uniform, did not seem to hear the dispute between them. He crossed his arms and stood in the corridor, looking up at the sky.

"Why is even Tsurumaru Hall …"

One Rise frowned.

"Well, I can understand that you don't want the main hall to be hurt."

Sanchū Sōjin said, "But, the main hall is still the main hall, as the Odachi, we should listen to his orders."

One Period One Rise did not back down, "As the Odachi, it is also necessary to advise against the lord's unreasonable arrangements."

"Hmm?

So stubborn, hahahaha. "

Sanchū Sōjin said, "Since that is the case, since there is time, why don't you go to the main hall and have a chat, how about it?"

The Odachi of Peace, who was usually gentle and elegant, showed his extreme egoism.

Of course, he would not change his opinion, but he also did not plan to give a solid reason to convince this colleague who was overly protective of his master.

He simply took a step back, and lightly threw the ball to the person who threw it first — — Junka.

With this sentence, even Tsurumaru Kuninaga's attention was drawn back.

"Sanri Yue Temple, you …" One Period One Rise began to doubt if he could really get along with the World Five Swords before his reforging.

Mikazuki Munechika picked up the dessert and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes that contained the crescent moon revealed an innocent expression.

One Period One Rise pursed his lips, "Then I …" After breakfast, he would go to the main hall.

"Wait a minute.

I say, you guys … "Tsurumaru Maru finally could not hold back," Are you guys confused because you care too much? "

He walked forward, from left to right, and called out one by one.

"World Five Swords, Sanchū Sōjin."

"One Vibration, World Five Swords."

Considering that Ishikaga Maru was not going to fight today, he skipped over him and pointed directly at himself, "And me."

"In addition to Xiaoguang, Asakamaru … Hmm, barely add Kendo. The Odachi who is not discovered by ordinary people, always guarding the master's side."

"Even so, under the circumstances of using all their strength, can't they protect the master?"

Tsurumaru Kuninaga's tone of amazement contained not too obvious mockery, "If anything happens to the master, I suggest that all the Odachi here don't come back, and break their swords on the spot as an apology."

Everyone was silent.

…

…

When they gathered, Junka found that the atmosphere in the first unit was strange.

"What's going on?"

While One Period One Rise and the others were not paying attention, Junka Hoshino and Kendo Shiro whispered, "Don't you think that your brother's expression when he looked at me just now was very strange?"

It was like guilt, like relief, and also like awkwardness.

In short, it was a gaze that made people feel very uncomfortable.

Kendo Shiro crossed his arms and sized up the blue-haired Fu Mourning God, who had already turned his back, thoughtfully.

"Main Hall, this is the plan for today's battle. Do you have anything else to say?" One Period One Rise, who had arranged the tasks, asked.

Eh?

Was it her turn so soon?

"There are two things!"

Junka carefully avoided One Period One Rise's eyes, and said to the other Fu Mourning God in the first unit (Asakamaru was actually still drinking tea), "… First, I heard that Tarō Tarō and Jirō Tarō have been enshrined in Retada Shrine. It would be best if we could bring them back this time, but there's no need to force it.

If fate wills it, we'll meet again. "

Kendo, who was beside her, curled his lips.

"Second, I have the power to protect myself. Please rest assured, and I also ask each of you to protect yourselves. Your own safety is the most important thing."

The girl, who had always been gentle and shy, had a rare serious expression on her face, and said solemnly, "Although it's embarrassing to say this, you are indeed unique treasures in the world.

With your value, you definitely shouldn't die here.

If there's any danger, please leave the battle immediately and don't continue fighting. "

"That's all I want to say."

Junka exited her Generalissimo mode in a second, and revealed a warm and firm smile, and directly met One Period One Rise's complicated gaze.
