Chapter 5

After many days, Fox's Assistance once again met the new inquisitor of This Pill.

Her cheeks were rosy, but her lips were slightly pale. Her eyes were bright, and she didn't look like she was about to die.

"My Lady, do you have any orders for me?"

Little Fox paced in front of Leaf and sat down obediently. It tilted its little head and waited for orders.

Ye Zi tentatively reached out and stroked it a few times. The little fox immediately gave her face and lay down flat.

There was a Fox's Assistance in every This Pill. It was the bridge between the inquisitors and the Government of the Hour, but both sides didn't pay much attention to it.

Especially This Pill. The mysterious death of the inquisitor caused the Gods of Death and the Government of the Hour to be at odds with each other. Now, they couldn't even maintain the friendliness on the surface. And Fox's Assistance, who was sandwiched between the two, had an even harder time.

This was also why it was ignored by the Gods of Death on the day Leaf was discovered, and why it hadn't seen Leaf for the past few days.

The Gods of Death were wary of it.

The previous inquisitors had a similar attitude. It was only when the Government of the Hour gave an order that it would be remembered. Usually, it was just a dispensable existence in This Pill, and even an eyesore.

In short, Leaf was the first inquisitor who was willing to get close to it. Fox's Assistance didn't even dare to think about being hugged and stroked by the inquisitor.

After all, compared to it, the Gods of Death and the Gods of Death were more than enough.

"Little Fox, help me send a letter to the Government of the Hour. After the mission is completed, I'll make you tofu."

"Really?!"

"Of course, I always keep my word."

Leaf stroked Little Fox's belly fur and pinched its soft pads. She smiled and talked to it.

Her actions caused the swords and sabers in the room to have second thoughts. They looked around at their companions and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This was the first time the Divine Inquisitor had shown the emotion of "liking".

Even towards them, although she was smiling from the bottom of her heart, she did not express her love for anyone.

Did this inquisitor really like foxes?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Komusubi.

Komusubi also looked at them and shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

The Divine Inquisitor did not rely on him too much.

Although she was docile and easy to get close to, her heart was severed.

Leaf naturally noticed the small movements of Blade and Sword, but she did not explain anything. Instead, she asked Hasebe to send the tri-colored cat, which had finished its last piece of dried fish, out.

"Come and play whenever you have time, Little Cat."

She was still smiling. The little Cat, who had just walked to the door, turned its head to look at her, but did not answer her.

After the tri-colored cat went out, it asked the nearby demons about this mansion and the God of Calamity. On the other side, Leaf was holding Fox's Assistance and contacting the Government of the Hour.

The Government of the Hour only knew of her existence now.

When they found out that she had accidentally taken over This Pill and had successfully survived for a few days, they did not give her any difficult problems. Instead, they quickly helped her with the relevant procedures and sent her a lot of supplies. They also agreed to her request to move This Pill. It could be said that they were very obedient.

In the end, they did not forget to remind her to be careful, hoping that she could live for a few more days.

"So, how can This Pill be moved?"

Leaf stroked Fox again and looked out with some worry.

With such a large capital base, it was not something that could be done in a short period of time.

"My Lady, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Little Fox licked Leaf's white and tender fingers in front of the fierce swords. Then, it said in a fawning voice, "This Pill looks very big on the inside, but from the outside, it is just an ordinary mansion.

It's not built here either. It's more like a model that can be moved at any time. As long as Milord is willing, it can be erected wherever you want it to be. This is also arranged to avoid the invasion of the retrograde army. "

"It can be moved at will … But before that, if we really offended this God of Calamity, we have to go and apologize to him first."

After that, she still let Kendo and the other two go out to inquire about the specific situation in the vicinity. At the same time, they also explored the surrounding area to see if there was an empty place for them to relocate This Pill.

As for herself, since her body was already fine and she could run and jump, she planned to walk around This Pill, and at the same time, learn about her future tasks and responsibilities.

Considering that there were more than eighty swords in the entire tent, This Pill's coverage area was also very large.

Fox's Assistance led the way in front, followed by today's personal attendants, Hirano Fujishiro and Maeda Fujishiro. The two swords looked very similar, and when they stood together, they looked like twins.

"This is the forging room. My Lady, put the materials in the forging furnace according to a certain ratio, and the furnace will automatically forge swords. If you don't want to stand guard here, there will be a special Spirit-branded Retainer working here."

Fox's Assistance pointed at a small person who was napping in the corner. It looked about the same size as him, and that was the Spirit-branded Retainer that he mentioned.

"After the swords are forged, they will be taken out and placed here." He pointed at the sword rack next to the forging furnace.

"The forging of swords is a matter of probability, and the type of swords is random. Before the Divine Inquisitor injects Reiki into the swords, they are just iron tools with an empty appearance."

After that, he paused for a moment, then pointed at the furnace next to the forging furnace and continued, "As for the repeated swords, if you don't need them, you only need to put them into the decomposition furnace, and the swords will be decomposed into materials for the next forging. However, the amount of materials used will be very small."

He didn't say whether the "repeated swords that can be decomposed" referred to the awakened swords, the unawakened swords, or both.

Leaf guessed that it was the third case.

In this way, she more or less understood why Fox's Assistance was so disliked by the Gods of Death.

Fox's Assistance's creator, the Government of the Hour, was the one who invented the death penalty for swords, and tried to induce the Divine Inquisitors to carry it out.

There was another furnace in the innermost part of the room. Fox's Assistance hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to explain, Leaf suddenly bent down, picked him up, and walked out.

"Okay, let's look at the other place."

The word "Synthesis" was written on the furnace. Leaf wasn't blind. With the decomposition furnace in front, how could she not know what the synthesis furnace at the back meant?

The Government of the Hour really put in a lot of effort to sow discord. No wonder they didn't easily show up in This Pill, and only relied on Fox's Assistance to communicate with each other.

The swords had great power and could easily take care of the Tracing Army, so they could also easily take care of the Divine Inquisitors.

The two privileges of the Divine Inquisitors, decomposition and synthesis, seemed to help the Divine Inquisitors establish their authority. However, as long as these two things were used wrongly, or even if they weren't used, the Divine Inquisitors and the swords would never trust each other without reservation.

Leaf more or less knew what the Government of the Hour was thinking. They were just afraid that the Divine Inquisitors who had grown wings and hardened their wings would betray them with the swords.

This Pill was distributed separately, probably because they were afraid that the This Pill and This Pill would unite, form gangs, and have ulterior motives.

Wavy Leaf had no interest in rebellion. She just wanted to use This Pill's use of time travel to do more research and strive to go home as soon as possible.

Of course, if she wanted to relax and do research, she had to first appease the swords in This Pill, which was also a big deal.

Fortunately, these swords didn't want her to die in the first place, and even hoped that she could live well.

Now that both sides were testing each other and accumulating trust, it was better for her not to touch those contraband items.

For example, the synthesis furnace.

Fox's Assistance wasn't a fool. Seeing that the Divine Inquisitors didn't want to talk about it, it automatically skipped over it and continued to bring her to other places.

"This is the Hand Room. The injured swords will all receive treatment here."

"Brother Kendo is in charge here. Brother Kendo's medicine is better than the one sold in the Wan Room."

The one who answered Fox's Assistance was Maeda Fujishiro. He had a head of short brown hair that reached his neck, which looked unusually soft under the sun.

He was wearing a uniform, and after he finished speaking, he didn't show any fear. Instead, his eyes were shining, and his cheeks were blushing as he looked at Leaf. He was very shy, but also somewhat expectant.

What was he looking forward to?

Ye Zi remembered the child's sentence, "I'll serve you for a long time." She had to admit that after hearing this sentence, she was really moved for a moment. She wanted to stay and stay with them for a long time.

So, after all, they were gods. Even if they were children, they could still stir the hearts of mortals.

But it was only for a moment.

She always told herself over and over again that she would have to leave sooner or later.

She would have to go home sooner or later. Someone was waiting for her at home.

"Yes."

Leaf was stunned. After responding to him, she echoed, "It's only been three days, and there's not even a scar on my forehead. His Highness Kendo is really amazing."

She brushed the loose hair in front of her forehead, so that the two little followers could see that there was no scar on her forehead.

"My Lord seemed to have lost a lot of blood that day. Was it very painful?"

The one with shorter hair was Hirano Fujishiro. She didn't know if it was because of the length of his hair, but he looked more tender than Maeda Fujishiro.

After he stared at Leaf's forehead for a while, he seemed to have thought of something bad, and there was a bit of heartache in his eyes.

That look immediately poked Leaf's heart.

She always had no resistance to those cute and obedient little animals.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt at all. Look, it's recovering so quickly. It means that the wound is very shallow."

The tall girl squatted down in front of them, raised her head slightly, and looked at them gently. Then, she reached out and pulled them into her arms.

Her embrace was as warm as her smile, and there was an unknown fragrance of plants on her body. It smelled gentle and soft, making people involuntarily let down all their guard. They just wanted to stay close to her and not think about anything else. It was also good to just be in a daze quietly.

The three of them huddled together looked incomparably warm. However, Yamamochi Kokuhiro, who was watching all of this from a distance, was instantly furious. He suddenly crushed the broom in his hand into two pieces.

Delta Ophiuchi, who was beside him, didn't even raise his head. He casually swept the leaves and the broom away.

When Leaf turned around to look, she saw Yamamochi, who was holding a stick, looking at them gloomily.
