That night, Shiroi and Koukou brought their little friends over for dinner. They filled the front yard.

Jiang Shu: Luckily, I asked Hikari to make more …

As for Kashuu Kiyomitsu, Shokudaikiri Mitutada, Yagen, and Gokotai welcomed his arrival.

They were all second-hand fighters. They didn't have any ties with Jiang Shu, so they didn't care about the order of arrival.

After experiencing some things, they were more willing to cherish the present.

Although there were only six people including Chaos, who was in a deep sleep, Honnmaru did change visibly.

In the past, when there were only Jiang Shu and Shokudaikiri Mitutada, other than their own rooms, the kitchen, and the dining room, they almost never stepped into other rooms. Therefore, although the other rooms were clean, they didn't have the slightest trace of human life.

Now, just the five little tigers of the Five Tigers Retreat could run all over Motomaru's room. The sound of their footsteps echoed in Motomaru's room.

The air quality in Honnmaru was also much better. However, from the outside, it was still covered in black fog. It looked scary and gloomy.

On this day, Gokotai chased one of the little tigers to the backyard. He saw Jiang Shu doing his daily mission in the backyard.

Although they were curious about why Jiang Shu was doing this, they didn't have the courage to take this step.

After some time, Jiang Shu stood up.

Gokotai finally caught the naughty little tiger and was walking back with it in his arms.

Coincidentally, he saw the colorful fox in front of Jiang Shu — Fox's Assistance.

So Honnmaru also has Fox's Assistance?

Gokotai thought absentmindedly.

The consequence of not looking at the road was that he didn't see the other little tiger with its belly spread out lazily in front of him.

Then he fell.

At the last moment when his face was infinitely close to the ground, Gokotai felt his collar tighten.

When he finally reacted, he was already standing firmly on his feet.

Eh?

"Be careful when you walk." Jiang Shu said helplessly.

Gokotai blushed. "I-I'm sorry."

Gokotai scanned Jiang Shu's surroundings but didn't see Fox's Assistance. Perhaps it had already left.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu keenly felt Gokotai's gaze.

Gokotai shook his head hesitantly.

"Is there really no problem?

Maybe I can answer you. "Jiang Shu looked at Gokotai's expectant eyes with amusement.

"…" Gokotai pondered for a moment. "Well, I don't think I've seen Fox's Assistance in Honnmaru before."

"Oh, Fox's Assistance. It's very busy. At the same time, it has to travel between five Honnmaru. It doesn't stay for long, so you don't usually see it."

Seeing that Jiang Shu really answered him, Gokotai's eyes lit up. He said carefully, "Usually, I don't think I've seen Lord God's Interrogator do his daily classes."

"Emmmm …" Jiang Shu raised his head and thought for a moment. "With the current environment in Honnmaru, it's still not possible to forge knives. It's also a bit difficult to go out."

"Moreover, I've only been in office for a year. The current government gave me some time to adapt."

Half a month later, on an ordinary night.

Jiang Shu had already closed his eyes and was lying peacefully in his bed, preparing to fall asleep.

The sudden feeling of being stared at made his hair stand on end.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked around vigilantly.

Eh!!

— —

What the hell!

A dark, indistinct shadow stood coldly on his right side. Its eyes emitted a faint blue light as it stared straight at him.

Jiang Shu calmed down and lifted the blanket. The entire blanket was thrown at the shadow. He grabbed the small coffee table next to the bed and threw it in the direction of the shadow.

"Bang!" A loud sound startled the few rooms next to it, and they all lit up the lights.

"Are you okay?"

The paper sliding door fell down with a bang. Kashuu Kiyomitsu was still in his pajamas. He held the True Blade in his hand and looked into the room with a nervous expression.

"My Lord!" Shokudaikiri Mitutada stood behind Kashuu Kiyomitsu.

"Lord God's Interrogator!" Gokotai and Yagen followed closely behind.

When they saw the situation clearly, Jiang Shu was half-bent, one hand on the window frame, the other on the window, and his right foot on the windowsill. He looked like he was ready to escape at any time.

On the other side …

"Chaos!" Gokotai and Yagen shouted in surprise.

Midare Toushiro blinked innocently. When he heard Gokotai and Yagen's shouts, he greeted them naturally. "Hi, long time no see."

Jiang Shu put his right foot down as if nothing had happened and straightened his clothes.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Jiang Shu felt a little dizzy.

They were on the same side.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu put down the blade in his hand and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

He looked indifferently at the lively scene in the room, as if he was not involved.

However, Kashuu Kiyomitsu frowned.

Although Midare Toushiro's spiritual power was weak, it was not difficult to see that his spiritual power came from the same source as Jiang Shu's.

Jiang Shu clenched his right fist and placed it by his mouth. He coughed. "Everyone, listen to me."

Everyone looked at Jiang Shu.

"It's a little late now. Everyone, calm down. We'll talk about the details tomorrow, okay?"

Jiang Shu drove them back to their room. When he saw Kashuu Kiyomitsu's hesitant expression, he rubbed his slightly messy hair. "Sleep well."
