Chapter 24

Leaf sat in the corridor and watched the swords dig a hole in full swing.

The hole was dug next to the time machine of This Pill. Leaf sat for a while and couldn't sit still. She leaned over the time machine and looked at it.

She always felt that this thing was very important to her.

"My Lord, you can't touch that."

Two short swords stood in front of her, one on the left and one on the right, looking down at her.

"This is a machine that can let us go back to the past."

"Well, Qing Guang just told me."

"So."

The short swordsman in the cloak looked a little lost. Leaf remembered him, he should be called Maeda Fujishiro.

"Maeda."

"Yes!

Main hall! "

"And Hirano."

"Yes!

Main hall! "

"Are you two twins?"

…

Hasebe noticed that the Lord was chatting with the two lazy short swords over there. He was afraid that the two short swords would say something that shouldn't be said. He was about to go forward to stop them, but he was stopped by Komusubi halfway.

"Don't worry, Hasebe, those two children know what to say."

Hasegawa Be stopped in his tracks. He looked at the two short swords with a complicated expression. Then he opened his mouth helplessly.

"Komusubi, you say, what should we do in the future?"

Even the pure little ones of the Kuriguchi family have become like this, but the Lord is still as clear and moving as before.

Were blades like them really qualified to serve her?

"Since we are still alive, then we must be able to play a role."

Komusubi rubbed the handle of the iron shovel in his hand, and the days of bloody rain appeared in his mind.

"The Lord has always been a very sensitive person, Hasebe."

"When she first came to this Honmaru, I had already observed her.

At that time, I'm afraid that even we didn't realize it. Although everyone welcomed her arrival, but from the bottom of our hearts, we were afraid that she would become a tombstone in the back of the mountain cemetery. "

"At that time, Master didn't even dare to touch us. He had to consider every word for a long time before speaking.

Although she's very gentle and easy-going, she's actually a very dictatorial person. She doesn't like being disobeyed, but for us, she tolerates a lot. "

It had been a long time since Komusubi had spoken so much in one breath. He paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "The first person to notice Master's abnormality should be Qing Guang."

Qing Guang stood beside the two with a shovel in his hand and nodded, indicating that he had been eavesdropping. He also confirmed Komusubi's analysis, then continued with Komusubi's words.

"Even though Milord has become like this, even though she has lost her memories, her expressions have also become less expressive … The reason why her expressions have become less expressive should be because of that person."

Who was that person? Everyone knew very well.

"But Milord is still Milord. Just like before, she can still easily make Jiazhou Qing Guang cry and then let go of it."

As Qing Guang spoke, his expression became fervent. "She should have discovered this side of us long ago. After all, that 'Lord Father' doesn't seem to be much cleaner than us."

"Oh?

The 'Lord Father' that everyone is talking about, are you referring to me? "

"…"

Ghost Lantern suddenly popped his head out from the ground, then scattered the soil around him with his stick. He quickly stood up in front of San Dao, who was whispering to him.

This time, it wasn't just his face that was gloomy. Even his entire body was gloomy and dark. It looked like the sky was about to turn upside down.

San Dao looked calm, but he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It seemed that his future days wouldn't be easy.

"Ghost Lantern -sama, are normal children like Milord?

Other than frowning, they don't know how to do anything else. "

Jiazhou Qing Guang looked at Milord in the distance and immediately became excited. When it came to taking care of Milord's daily life, even Hasebe didn't dare to compete with him for first place.

This specifically referred to women.

Ghost Lantern thought about the two little girls he was more familiar with. The two seated children, they didn't even know how to frown.

So he asked in return, "What's wrong with that?"

"Of course it's wrong!

Don't you want her to smile and call you 'Lord Father'? Her eyes would be curved, and her white teeth and sweet little dimples would be revealed. She would tug at the corner of your clothes and shake it … Damn it!

That's the right way to go! "

Jiazhou Qing Guang looked at Ghost Lantern with disappointment. Seeing his expression gradually become brighter, he knew that this guy was in the same faction as him. It was just that he had taken the wrong path.

"Do you think that's the case?"

He asked again and received an affirmative answer.

"Yes, I was careless, Leaf!

Come here for a moment. "

Leaf ran over, followed by two smiling Shortsword.

Ghost Lantern looked at Shortsword, then looked at his expressionless daughter. After thinking for a moment, he grinned.

"Hee —"

"… Father?

Is this a new torture method you came up with? "

"…"

"Milord, Ghost Lantern wanted to make you smile."

Qing Guang finished the job from behind.

"Oh, hee —"

Everyone: "…"

"Now I believe that you two are biological father and daughter. Really."

Night Fight, who had come over to watch, complained. Then he was beaten down by Ghost Lantern with a stick.

He felt that if his skin went any deeper, he would turn into Baize.

"Wah!"

Tsuru Maru suddenly poked his head out of the hole that Ghost Lantern had just made. "How was it? Did I scare you?"

Leaf turned around and squatted down, hugging his head. "Hee —"

"Wah!

Milord, you really scared me. "

Everyone: … Tsuru Maru, how about you change your name to Awkwardness Pill???

"What? So you wanted to make Milord smile. How about this?"

Tsuru Maru, who knew what had happened, jumped out of the hole and rubbed his hands with a smile. Before the other swords could slap him away with a shovel, he put his hand under Leaf's armpit and scratched it.

Seeing that the person being scratched didn't respond, he scratched her neck and stomach. Leaf didn't respond either.

Just as he was about to extend his crane claw towards the sole of Ye's foot, Ye dodged it in a few moves.

Leaf looked at him expressionlessly. She even wanted to frown.

"Tsuru Maru, I feel like hitting someone."

"You're a girl, so you should be more elegant. Hitting people isn't fun at all. Why don't you create more scares with me? Life needs more scares to be wonderful."

"In that case, you can stay in This Pill and watch the hole. Scare away the undead who want to escape to this world."

"… This scare isn't wonderful at all."

"This is an order, not a scare."

"…"

Thus, Tsuru Maru successfully lost the chance to go to hell with Milord.

"I say!

What are you doing!

Is it really okay to bully honest swords like this?! "

Kendo kept digging at the bottom of the hole and felt that something was wrong. Why were there fewer and fewer swords?

Beside him were Delta Ophiuchi and Hillman Qie, who were digging silently. Outside, only his thin brother, Five Tigers Retreat, and the equally thin and weak Zuo Wenwen were transporting dirt. The other swords were chatting and laughing around their lord.

Kendo was so angry!

He was so angry that he decided that he would never heal these bastards again!

"Maa maa ~ Kendo, don't be angry. Come, my lord, smile and cheer for Kendo ~"

Tsuru Maru smiled and pushed Leaf to the front of the crowd so that she was facing Kendo.

Leaf looked at Kendo, who was poking his head out of the hole, as well as Delta Ophiuchi and Yamamochi, who were only showing their eyes. For some reason, her heart suddenly softened.

Then she smiled.

It was the smile in Natsume's memory, revealing Little White Teeth and Little Dimples. It was like a little sun, warm and charming, as if it could melt all the unhappiness.

However, it was a little short. By the time the people behind her saw the red faces of the three swords and the unnatural halo emitted from Leaf's body, it was already too late. She had already stopped smiling and returned to her expressionless face.

Ghost Lantern ran in front of her excitedly, held her shoulders, and shook them. "Give Daddy a smile like that too, my good daughter!"

"Hee —"

"…"

Really, looking at Daddy's face, this was the only expression she could think of.

After the commotion, everyone in Ben Wanli seemed to have become closer, especially Ghost Lantern and Jiazhou Qingguang. The two of them stood together and chatted endlessly. Most importantly, no one understood what they were saying.

Leaf also found a job, which was to stand by the hole and cheer for the others.

However, after a few words, Hasebe was afraid that she would be tired, so he got her a small cushion to sit on. There were also snacks and tea beside her.

"As long as we can see you, we will be full of energy!"

Hasebe said.

Leaf nibbled on a snack and drank a cup of tea. Seeing that the Knife Spirits were still in full swing and didn't look tired, and seeing that Daddy was nodding his head, she knew that Daddy was very satisfied with their performance this time.

Although Daddy was very satisfied, there was no good result. What awaited them was only endless work.

The most typical example was probably King Of Hell.

However, one of them was willing to do the work, and the other was willing to do the work, so it shouldn't be too bad. Everyone was willing to do it.

Because there were many people, the efficiency was high. They reached an agreement in the morning, and before the sky turned dark, the tunnel from This Pill to Hell was dug.

Night Fight volunteered to set up a barrier around the entrance of the tunnel. It was said that it could prevent the undead from escaping to a certain extent. Ghost Lantern couldn't help but look at him in a new light.

The gods actually had such a method. It seemed that there was a lot of learning value.

Ghost Lantern wrote this down in his little notebook. He planned to ask about it if he had the chance in the future.

"Okay, but I don't know where it leads to Hell if we go down from here. Lord Ghost Lantern, can you go down and take a look first? Is it convenient for us to go down there?"

"Okay."

Ghost Lantern took the lead and jumped down. It turned out that the tunnel was dug right in the middle of Hell's Hall.

In the hall, King Of Hell was interrogating the undead. The undead wanted to escape, but it was stepped on by Ghost Lantern who fell from the sky.

He didn't smash the roof because the roof that he broke last time hadn't been repaired yet.

"Ghost Lantern?

Didn't you ask for leave today? "

"Yes, but I just happened to fall here. Later, I may bring a few new employees for you to check. In another twenty or thirty years, I will add a new assistant to you. Are you happy?"

"Yes, yes!"

Ghost Lantern climbed up to the top and indicated that it was time to go down.

He jumped down with Leaf in his arms, then stood aside and waited for the others. However, after waiting for a long time, he only heard a scream.

"Ah —!

My Lord! "

"What's going on, Dad …"
