Time: Three days after Jingji's resignation. Location: Honmaru

"Ah … where's the new lord? It's been three days, why isn't he here yet?

I even dressed myself up so cutely every day, but in the end, not to mention people, even the Fox who often came to freeload Tofu didn't appear … I've decided!

If the lord doesn't come after sunset today, I'll … I'll … "

"What will you do?

Stop dressing up? "

Yamato Shoudan stopped what he was doing and sighed helplessly as he looked at the unhappy California Clear Light who was pouting while holding a broom. Then, he cast a caring look at the idiot beside him who didn't mean what he said.

"Eh … Yamato, what's with the look in your eyes!

It's disgusting! "

"You bastard Qing Guang!

What do you mean disgusting!

I'm just concerned about you, okay? "

"Concerned about me?

Ah … Yamato, you're finally telling the truth, I told you I'm cute!

You said I wasn't cute before, but you finally said what's on your mind! "

Because of Jingji's idiotic "flattery", Jiazhou Qingguang, who was very confident in his cuteness, selectively ignored Yamato Moriyasu's refusal to say he was cute. He naturally misinterpreted Mamoru Yamato's concern for him as a compliment. He completely ignored Mamoru Yamato's embarrassed expression and began to indulge in himself, even though he was indeed cute.

"Jiazhou Qingguang!

Shut the hell up!

I didn't say you were cute! "

"You did!

You did!

You said I was cute! "

"Qing Guang —"

"Uh … Ano … I'm sorry to disturb you, but is this … Honmaru C666?

Um … I'm the new God's Inquisitor, I … am in the right place? "

The two swords, who had originally thrown down the brooms in their hands and were happily chasing each other, froze on the spot when they heard the slightly hesitant but clear voice from Honmaru's door. They did not dare to turn around to see the expression of their lord, who had just taken office and seen their unreliable performance.

"Um … I …"

"So it's the God's Inquisitor who came to replace Lord Byakuya?

This is indeed C666 Honmaru. I'm really sorry for letting you see such an unreliable side of us.

Ah!

Um, please come in, everyone is in Honmaru today, so please wait in the living room, I'll gather everyone right away!

Yamato, I'll have to trouble you to entertain our new lord first! "

Before Masayuki Minamoto could react, Jiazhou Qingguang, who was supposed to be the God's Inquisitor's favorite, felt that it was better to hide for the time being since the God's Inquisitor had seen his uncute side. Thus, he quickly tidied up his clothes, put on a perfect smile, and threw the task of receiving Masayuki Minamoto to Mamoru Yamato, who was still in a daze, and ran out of the sight of the two Katanas.

"Bastard Qing Guang … Then, my lord, please come with me. It'll take some time for Qing Guang to gather everyone, and it's not good to keep you waiting. Let's go to the living room and have some tea and snacks. I can also introduce you to the Fu Mourning God in Honmaru."

Although he despised Jiazhou Qingguang's "shameless" behavior, in order to save Masayuki Minamoto's impression of Honmaru, Yamato Moriyasu took some things from Masayuki Minamoto's hands and dutifully led his new lord to the living room.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness Mamoru Yamato."

Masayuki Minamoto was naturally not dissatisfied with Mamoru Yamato's stable and friendly arrangement. He gladly accepted his kindness, but Mamoru Yamato was not so calm when he heard his words.

"My lord … You recognize me?"

"Oh, this, isn't my cousin your previous God's Inquisitor?

After he returned home, he told me about each of you in detail and even showed me your photos. In addition, due to some personal reasons, I am very interested in swords and sabers. Therefore, in these few days, in addition to wanting to buy suitable gifts for each of you, I also remembered each of you. Why? Isn't that good? "

"No, no!

I just didn't expect that my lord would remember each of us before taking office … and even bring us gifts … I … I'm very happy!

Thank you, my lord! "

"It's nothing, this is what I should do as your God's Inquisitor, isn't it?"

Masayuki Minamoto keenly noticed the change in Mamoru Yamato's address. It was no longer so distant and polite, but more sincere. It seemed that the homework he did before coming here was very useful to eliminate the gap between the two sides. At least, it was very effective for the Bakumo Swords in front of him. He hoped that the other difficult Pingan Ōdachi would be as smooth as this …

"My lord, sorry to keep you waiting, everyone from Honmaru is here!"

Not long after Masayuki Minamoto took out the gifts he prepared for different swords, Jiazhou Qingguang brought a large group of people who were dragged down by the poor mobility of the Odachi to the living room.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qing Guang. Everyone, please take a seat."

Masayuki Minamoto, who was sitting in the main seat, looked around at all the Fu Mourning Gods present. Because of his special ability and his cousin Jing Ji's introduction, he more or less understood all the Fu Mourning Gods in front of him. However, when he saw a few of them who were particularly familiar with the memories of the transformed Fu Mourning God, he still felt like he was in a trance.

"Ahem, since everyone is here, in order to save everyone's time, I won't keep you in suspense.

I believe that everyone should have guessed my identity. I am the cousin of your former God's Inquisitor, and also your new God's Inquisitor.

I believe that even with my cousin's guarantee, some of you still have some doubts about me. But it doesn't matter, we can slowly get along with each other. In short, from now on, I'll be looking forward to your guidance. "

"Hahahaha, that's great, that's great."

The Fu Mourning Gods who were shocked by Masayuki Minamoto's straightforward words all came back to their senses after hearing Sanri Yue's devilish laughter. The atmosphere in the guest hall that was originally a little heavy also slowly relaxed.

'Sanri Yue …'

Masayuki Minamoto looked at the smiling blue-haired young man who was holding a teacup not far away. The memories that were originally hidden in the depths of his mind because he had not transformed into the Fu Mourning God of the Sanjyo Family for a long time came back little by little. Once again, he was brought into the mood of that time. His gaze towards Sanri Yue also unknowingly became gentler.

'Oh, my lord's gaze … It's so strange that it makes Ren feel nostalgic. Hahahaha, that's great, that's great.'

Even though Ren noticed that Masayuki Minamoto's gaze towards him was a little strange and inexplicably made him feel like an elder looking at a younger generation with affection, the old man who was very careless tilted his head and did not take it to heart.

Perhaps all the Kohei Katanas had such a careless personality. Göche and the other Ren who had also noticed this, blinked their eyes and drank the tea in their cups. Their faces were completely calm and composed as if they did not know anything.

"Ahem, that's right. This time, I've also brought some greeting gifts for everyone. Because I've heard my cousin's description and guessed everyone's preferences, I don't know if you'll like it or not. Come, everyone, come over and take it yourselves. I've specially wrapped your gifts with your sword patterns."

Based on the memories left behind by Fu Mourning God who was also a Kohei Katana, Masayuki Minamoto realized that he had revealed too much of his emotions just now, causing Sanri Yue and the others to realize that something was wrong with him. He hurriedly retracted his gaze, coughed twice and changed the topic, trying to use the greeting gifts to cover up his loss of composure just now.

"Ah, it's true. Let me see, let me see … This sword pattern is mine. Then, the gift for me is this package … Then, I won't hesitate to open it … Ah!

It's a whole set of red nail polish!

Thank you, my lord!

I really like this! "

Jiazhou Qingguang was sitting closer to Masayuki Minamoto. In addition, he had a good detection value when it came to swords. He easily found the one with his own sword pattern among the large pile of packages on the table. After getting Masayuki Minamoto's permission, Qing Guang eagerly opened the package and took out the things inside.

Looking at the whole set of nail polish in the package, Jiazhou Qingguang could not help but exclaim out loud. He could not contain the happy smile on his face.

Seeing that Jiazhou Qingguang's gift was very much to his liking, Multiblade, who had each found their own package, also opened the package with anticipation. He could not help but let out a surprised laugh.

"Mine is the fruit and Jinping Candy!"

"Little Fox's is the comb and conditioner …"

"Oh — isn't this a famous tea from Hua?

Hmm … I didn't expect to be lucky enough to taste it one by one. Sanri Yue, how about changing the flavor of the tea next time? "

"Hahahaha, sure, you can also try the new snacks I got, how about it?"

"Is this … Waka Songbook?

It's so elegant … "

"Oh, mine is the same as Sanri Yue, it's also a snack. It's really good, right? Midoru?"

"Anicca!

It's Genmaru!

Genmaru! "

"Ah!

Canessan!

Look, we have books and items about Mr. Toshizo! "

"Mine is about the same. It's all related to Ookita-kun …"

"Oh — Mi-chan's is actually a cookery book, but it's surprisingly suitable for Mi-chan!"

"Sada-chan's gift is also very suitable for you, it's very gorgeous!"

"I didn't expect father to have a gift … this is … My lord is really thoughtful."

"Oh, Minghu, we have delicious oily tofu!"

"One month at a time, one month at a time!

Can we keep these candies for ourselves? "

"Yes, you can, but you must not eat too much in a day, understand?"

"Understood, thank you, my lord, thank you one by one!"

Looking at the chattering and happy faces of the short swords, Masayuki Minamoto could not help but show a gentle smile like the short swords' guardians, but …

'It seems that I forgot something … what is it … forget it, it shouldn't be anything important, it's not too late to say it when I remember.'
