"Have you found it?"

"It's in the Hot Field Shrine."

"Take those troublesome sabers with you.

Let's pay a visit. "

After the young man left, the man sitting at the top sighed softly.

"The big shots are causing trouble.

We can only follow their arrangements. "He put down the pen in his hand.

His gaze fell on the photo on the table. "I hope there will be a good result this time."

In This Pill in the Depths of the Forest.

Junka Hoshino was leaning against Tsuru Maru and falling asleep.

The snow-white Fu Mourning God was sitting under the eaves.

The dense shade of the trees covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

But judging from the aura around him,

His mood should be relaxed and happy.

Between the hidden branches and leaves.

There was the clear and melodious chirping of birds. Then, there was a light chirping sound in the corridor.

It was very interesting to go back and forth.

(Sigh.)

Junka sat up shakily.

She reached out and took the headband from Tsuru Maru.

She casually tied up her long hair.

"Master's hair has grown long again." Tsuru Maru used his fingers as a comb.

He gently helped her tidy up a few strands of her black hair.

Hasn't Chaos been pestering you to braid your hair recently? "

Chaos was referring to Shiro Antou.

It was one of the short knives brought back from the outside a few days before One Period One Rise.

"No." Junka yawned.

"He's been a close attendant for the past few days.

He was also waiting at the door in the morning. He probably stopped Chaos. "After all, he was a boy.

After returning from the Divine Palace.

Her title for One Period One Rise changed from "Hall of One Period One Rise" to "Period One."

"Candlestick Cutter" enjoyed the same treatment.

Sanchū Sōjin, Asakamaru, and the others.

Because their real age was too old, Junka couldn't put down the honorific title for them.

As for Jiang Xuezuo Text, his aura was so unique that Junka, who already felt guilty towards him, always called him "Jiangxue Hall".

"Master has been listless ever since he came back from the Divine Palace," Tsuru Maru said, "Is he still worried about Firefly?"

"It's the smell of the candlestick."

"Haha, I'm scared, I'm scared. It's Brat Guang who usually imitates me."

Junka narrowed her eyes and teased, "Yes, yes. After all, you're an old Dao from the Heian Era. There's no reason for you to imitate a younger generation."

Tsuru Maru flicked her forehead. "Master hasn't answered my question yet."

Not to be outdone, Junka took out a folding fan from her belt and hit his hand. She waited until the offending crane pretended to cry out in pain before replying with satisfaction,

"It's not just because of Firefly."

"What else is there?"

"Firefly hasn't responded to my summons. It's really annoying."

She unfolded the fan, and on it was a picture of flowers and moon drawn by the Song Immortal. "On the other hand, don't you know?

Recently, he's been tutoring me. "

"Oh?

Are you talking about troop deployment and so on? "

"That's not the main point." Junka said, "If it's about troop deployment, it might be better to just leave it to you.

To be honest, I still don't really understand formations like horizontal formations and square formations.

In this episode, he's teaching me how to be a qualified general … Well, just this aspect … This episode really deserves to be called 'One Vibration Under the Heavens'. "

In the end, she couldn't help but praise.

"Master is really hardworking."

"It can't be helped. I have to fulfill the agreement with Tsurumaru Hall."

She raised her hand and knocked on Tsuru Maru's head with the closed fan. "I've already said that I'll work hard to become a qualified master, not a mediocre sword collector."

Tsuru Maru couldn't help but laugh.

"Even so, you have to take care of your body. Otherwise, it will be very painful when you're old.

I don't want to take care of a master who always has a sore back. "

As he spoke, he took off his white feather and draped it over Junka's body. "I'm going to do my job. You can stay here and bask in the sun for a while."

…

Junka Hoshino raised her head. "Today, Crane is so gentle. Did he do something bad and need my help to cover it up?"

"Is this the image I have in your heart —?"

Tsuru Maru thought for a while. "If you want to repay me, why don't you change my job from farming to handwork.

Letting Blade do farming is really … "

"Rejected." Junka waved her hand coldly. "You can go."

Sure enough.

Tsuru Maru left helplessly.

Looking at his back, Junka Hoshino's thoughts gradually drifted away.

Since the trip to Ryota Shrine, more than ten days have passed.

After returning to This Pill, Junka looked for One Period One Rise and Kendo Shiro during the day to learn the art of war and how to deal with affairs. At night, she worked late at night to learn the Yin Yang Technique. After awakening the rest of the swords, she quickly started the construction of This Pill (named by Lu Aoshou).

"We'll be divided into three groups. The leader of the first group is Sanchū Sōjin. The leader of the second group is One Period One Rise. The leader of the third group is Hirano Fujishiro.

Jiro, please join the third group. "

Junka nodded to Jirō Tarō and continued. "In addition to going out, there's also internal work to do. For the time being, it's divided into farming, cooking, and handwork.

Every day, the internal work will be changed according to the order. Kendo will show you the specific list later. "

"Then, Firefly?" Aizen Kunitoshi asked, "When there's no internal work, can I take care of Firefly?"

Unlike the Awada Kou, which was a big family, there were only him and Firefly in This Pill. In addition, Aizen and Firefly hadn't seen each other for many years, so he couldn't wait to stay by Firefly's side every day.

How did she answer at that time … Oh, her answer was very simple: Yes.

Thinking of Aizen and Firefly, Junka Hoshino couldn't help but sigh.

"She said she wouldn't let me wait for too long, but she still hasn't responded to my call."

She fiddled with the furball on Tsuru Maru's hairy collar as she muttered to herself, "Could it be that Firefly doesn't want to come out because she's not tall enough … No way?"

She listened to Tsuru Maru's instructions before he left and quietly sunbathed for thirty minutes before she got up and went back to her room.

Speaking of which, a while ago, the powerful daggers in This Pill worked together with the Dachi, the Tachi, and the katana to create a set of furniture for her.

Now, the furniture in her room was the best in This Pill.

(If it wasn't for the request of Candlestick Cutter in the first phase, she would probably rather rot than leave her room.)

Chun Xia opens the paper door and habitually talks to Ying Wan, who is placed in the room by her, "I'm back."

As usual, she didn't get any answer.

She turned around, closed the door, put down the book she brought to the corridor to read, and then went to check on Firefly.

… There was no sword on the sword rack.

Junka was startled. Did Aizen take it?

But Aizen wasn't in This Pill today.

No, it couldn't be Aizen.

She touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

First of all, no one would sneak into her room to take something.

Secondly, the first and second units were all in This Pill today. If an enemy came in, they would be the first to discover it.

So, the only possibility was —

"…"

Junka was pressed to the ground.

"Clang! The finale!"

The familiar movement, the familiar weight, and the more tender voice. "The sword of the Asu Shrine responds to your call and comes to your side."

"Firefly, join us!"

(As expected of the Dachi …)

Junka raised her hand with difficulty. "Firefly, get up first and talk properly."

"Okay."

Just like Firefly in the dream, he obediently stepped aside and considerately helped Junka Hoshino up.

Junka took a deep breath and opened her eyes to look at the Dachi, which looked about the same size as the sword … Fu Mourning God.

"Oh, so that's what you meant by the last words you left me."

She couldn't help but sigh. "Don't touch your head or anything in the future. Sure enough, you remembered your real body at that time."

(The underage appearance is a hundred times cuter than the adult appearance. Damn, I can't control my hands.)

"I just had a bad feeling." Firefly pouted. "I didn't expect it to come true."

"You'll grow taller in the future."

Junka comforted him lovingly. After thinking for a while, she pointed to herself. "I'm taller too. I'm two centimeters taller than before."

"Eh …"

"Hahaha."

Perhaps it was because they had spent some time together in the dream, Junka didn't feel strange or distant when facing Firefly.

"Aizen has been thinking about you for a long time. When he comes back, you can reunite." She said.

"Oh, is Aizen here too?"

"Yes."

Junka still wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a knock on the door. She said loudly, "Come in."

The door was pushed open. One Period One Rise, who was dressed in formal clothes.

"Lord Grim."

He saluted first and then said politely, "People who call themselves the 'Government of the Hour' are here to visit you."

"Government of the Hour …?"

When One Period One Rise returned to his room in Awada Kou, he was immediately surrounded by his brothers.

"Brother One Rise, what did they say to the Lord Grim?"

"They seem to have other swords in their hands. Are they going to give them to the Lord Grim?

Or do they want the Lord Grim to hand us over to them? "

"Brother One Rise, why did other humans suddenly come to find us?"

Seeing that One Period One Rise was troubled by his brothers' questions, Kendo Shiro stepped forward and asked, "Brother One Rise, did the General ask you to come back?"

After he asked this question, everyone else shut up.

Finally, there was a question that could be answered. One Period One Rise was relieved, and his honey-colored eyes were filled with gratitude for being saved.

"Indeed, the Lord Grim asked me to come back after letting me listen for ten minutes."

He smiled comfortingly at his brothers and said, "The people who came claimed to be people who wanted to stop the 'historical revisionists.'

The swords in their hands were taken from the enemy before, and they want to ask the master to nourish them with spiritual energy … because, in this world, the only person who can awaken us swords and Fu Mourning God is the Lord Grim. "

"But …" The Five Tigers Retreat hesitated and asked, "Nourishing and awakening the swords with spiritual energy will consume a lot of the master's energy."

"The Lord Grim will tell us after making a decision." Brother One Rise said, "Everyone, trust the Lord Grim."

"Trust her."

At the same time, in a different place, with different people, Sanchū Sōjin said the exact same thing to Firefly.

"I do trust the master."

Firefly pointed the tip of her sword at Sanchū Sōjin.
