Today in Honmaru Retirement Again

In the reception room, Candlestick Tachibana served refreshments to The Inquisitor and his guest.
He Tian knelt on the cushion, elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction. He praised Taitō next to him, "Guang Zhong's cooking has always been so good."
Candlestick Tachibana accepted the praise calmly and placed the pastries between the two of them, "Bean cake.
I hope you like it too. "
After that, Lan Fafu opened the paper door and left dejectedly.
In the reception room, He Tian put down his teacup and praised as he listened to the sound of the swords' footsteps fading away.
"This Pill's layout is quite interesting."
"There are so many flowers and trees. It really makes one feel happy."
"After all, this is a place where I will be living for a period of time in the future. Naturally, I should put in some effort to take care of it."
Ji Kai arched his eyebrows and revealed a kind grandfatherly smile, "Hasebe has also helped a lot. Thank you very much."
"You don't have to mention this kind of thing."
He Tian waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to care, "As long as I'm in This Pill, every sword has to play its role.
Whether it's outside or inside, isn't that right, Kaikai? "
"Don't call me that." Ji Kai corrected him, not commenting on the latter part of his statement.
"Hahaha."
He Tian was in a good mood. His blue eyes were overflowing with joy and happiness, a stark contrast to the last time they met. "Is there a problem?"
His tone showed that he was very serious.
"…"
Ji Kai, who was afraid of trouble, decided not to dwell on it and let the other party speak, "Did something good happen?"
"Yes!"
The young man opposite him nodded heavily and smiled happily, "Kaikai, you are really my lucky star!
After looking for you the last time, I got the sword I wanted on the same day! "
"That map had actually been leveled a long time ago, but I just couldn't achieve an S-rank victory … I don't know what the pattern is, but I was already mentally prepared to fail again.
I didn't expect … that I would succeed on the first try after finding you, and I didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Lucky, lucky! "
"The happiest thing is that the Time Government fulfilled their promise and gave me the Tortoiseshell Kun that I've always wanted!
The Fu Mourning God in white just now was one of them ~
What do you think? It's beautiful, isn't it? It's not easy to get it. The number of The Inquisitor who has it now doesn't exceed two digits … "
He Tian became excited at the mention of swords and sabers, completely losing the restraint and calmness he had when he first entered the room. "And that handsome red-haired guy is called Grand Baoping.
Although he wasn't one of the Five Swords of the World, his overall stats were comparable to theirs.
He has a straightforward personality and is very motivated. Recently, he has been serving as my personal attendant and has performed very well. "
"Mm, mm, mm, mm."
Ji Kai nodded as usual.

The unexpected visitor was actually a friend of The Inquisitor.
After a false alarm, the Fu Mourning God relaxed and quickly decided that Candlestick Tachibana and Gokusen Kanazane would stay behind to deal with the situation, while the others hurried back to their rooms or bathrooms to clean themselves up.
It was too impolite to be unkempt in front of guests.
"My name is Grand Baoping, and it's on par with Doujigiri Yasutsuna. It's a famous sword among famous swords." The red-haired Taitō exclaimed and greeted him heartily.
"I'm Tortoiseshell Sadamune.
It's a sword passed down from Tokugawa General's family.
My current name was given because of the tortoiseshell pattern engraved on it. "
The Fu Mourning God in white, who was as elegant as a chrysanthemum, spoke and bowed slightly to Candlestick Tachibana. "I suddenly appeared just now and scared you. I'm really sorry."
"It's us who should be apologizing."
"Because we didn't expect to have guests the next day, we were a little too anxious and over-guarded." Candlestick Tachibana beckoned the two Fu Mourning God to the dining room. "Please rest here for a while.
I'll tell you immediately after we finish our conversation. "
Gokusen Kanazane didn't do any heavy labor, so his appearance was still clean. Candlestick Tachibana was a sword-wielding man who had a closet full of clean and tidy clothes to change into.
The two Fu Mourning God, one in charge of the snacks and the other in charge of the tea, cooperated side by side to entertain the guests of This Pill.
Tortoiseshell Sadamune tasted the tea made by Gokusen and was very satisfied. Grand Baoping ate a few pieces of snacks and suddenly remembered something before he left. Ignoring the food in his mouth, he hurriedly said, "I heard that Hasebe is currently in This Pill?"
"Ah … That's right." Candlestick Tachibana was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"I don't see him …" Grand Baoping muttered. He got up and ran to the corridor. He stretched his neck and looked around, but there was no one. So, he returned to the table and sat down, a little disappointed. He picked up the teacup and took a big gulp, muttering to himself,
"I haven't seen that kid for a long time. I wonder if he's in a good mood …"
Gokusen Kanazane refilled his tea.
"He doesn't talk to us much." Candlestick Tachibana smiled bitterly, looking very worried.
"I was like that when I got This Pill."
As he spoke, Grand Baoping stuffed another piece of snack into his mouth.
His swollen cheeks moved up and down, like a squirrel eating.
"Haha, at first, I thought he was a loner like Dalikhara. Later, I found out that he just doesn't like to talk.
If you ask for anything or if you need help, he'll respond very seriously.
He's a good kid! "
"Are you here to visit him?" Gokusen continued to ask.
"Yes."
Grand Baoping nodded. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyebrows became heavy. "Something happened earlier. He … is not in good condition.
The Inquisitor said that perhaps a change of environment would be good for Hasebe. "
"This Pill is very beautiful. It's good for relaxation." The red-haired, silver-eyed Fu Mourning God praised. "Hahaha, of course, our This Pill isn't bad either!"
"Our Lord values the environment and quality of life very much." Candlestick Tachibana said frankly.
"He's a very elegant person." Gokusen Kanazane added.
"Is that so?
Our Lord loves to fight. Hahaha!
Isn't that right, Tortoise? "
Tortoise Sadamune, who had been listening quietly, raised his head and looked at the other Fu Mourning God. He laughed softly. "I like it very much when Master uses it to his heart's content."
…
Why did this sentence sound so weird??
Candlestick Tachibana and Gokusen Kanazane looked at each other and saw the same feeling in each other's eyes.
At the same time, in the bathroom of This Pill, Cut Long Hasebe had just wiped his arms clean and put on a spare bathrobe.
Ten minutes ago, the Swords and Blades who needed to complete the cleaning task made different choices.
Mountain Lady Qie Guo Guang covered himself with a dirty sheet and went back to his room.
The others went to the bathroom.
Among them, Taro Tachi quickly finished his repairs and left.
Among the Fu Mourning God who stayed in the bathroom, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was humming a tune and enjoying the open-air hot spring. One Vibration Dagger was the only one who wanted to bathe the tiger cubs. However, because of their playful nature and exploration, he became flustered and panicked.
There were a few times when Hasebe almost couldn't help but speak.
But when he was about to speak, he shrank back.
If he gave help, there would be interaction, and if there was interaction, he would be cared for and questioned. And he was really tired of pretending to be emotional.
If he was unhappy, he was unhappy. If he didn't want to talk, he didn't want to talk.
There was no reason, and it had nothing to do with you. You can't help me, and I don't need you.
Thinking of this, Cut Long Hasebe finally left the bathroom alone.
When He Tian came to visit just now, he didn't show any abnormality in front of the other Swords and Blades, as if he didn't know him at all … but Hasebe knew that he could only do this much.
The memory of wanting to escape entangled him again.
In the corridor, the gray-haired Dagger quickened his pace and hurried to his room.
Cut Long Hasebe's room was diagonally from the bathroom. When he returned, he would inevitably pass by the reception room of This Pill.
When he suddenly realized this, he was passing by the reception room.
Two different waves of spiritual energy, like undulating waves, continuously transmitted from the reception room to the outside.
One was light and peaceful, and difficult to detect; the other was thick and surging, and belonged to his predecessor, The Inquisitor. He couldn't be more familiar with it.
Hasebe unconsciously slowed down his pace.
He Tian's voice came from the door.
He didn't know when his footsteps stopped. The gray-haired Dagger trembled. Reason urged him to leave as soon as possible, but instinct controlled him to lean in the direction of the door.

"By the way, Kaikai, I'm surprised you decided to come play!"
In the reception room, He Tian, who had been rambling for a long time about his new Swords, finally changed the topic. "When I gave you my account card and asked you for help, you clearly had a troublesome expression on your face."
"Haha, is that so?"
The other person was unmoved on the surface, but in his heart, he thought that his skills were not good enough and needed to be improved again.
"But you still helped in the end.
I knew that you're actually a good person in Kaikai.
Thank you so much! "
He Tian put his palms together and expressed his gratitude again.
"Uh?
I just did you a small favor. "
"No, no, no.
You just came to Kaikai, so you might not know. Your decision to accept Hasebe is a great help to me. "
The brown-haired young man moved the cushion from the opposite side to Ji Kai's side and lowered his voice slightly. "Each This Pill can hold 60 swords. After that, through forging swords or mission rewards, you will get new swords.
60 strikes seems a lot, right?
"But when you start the game, you'll find that it's not enough.
Many missions will reward swords, but they are usually the kind you don't need.
It's the same for forging swords yourself.
"Some The Inquisitor is unlucky. They may forge a short sword for more than ten strikes.
And once they appear, they will occupy a sword slot in This Pill.
"After the sword slot is full, new swords can no longer appear.
Think about it, a low-level sword in This Pill can't have a good record! "
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes!
Come, come, come, take a look. "
He Tian took out a portable tablet terminal from his body and moved closer to Ji Kai's side. He skillfully clicked on the World Record Ranking and flipped to the first page.
He Tian's name and profile picture appeared on it.
Also displayed were The Inquisitor's three-digit level and the profile picture of the red-haired Fu Mourning God.
However, He Tian didn't show Ji Kai this.
It was the other The Inquisitor's personal attendants who were also ranked above.
Mikazuki Munechika, Dainuta Mitsuyo,
Grand Baoping, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, and a few faces that Ji Kai couldn't remember from time to time. Their faces looked unfamiliar and their names were very complicated.
"The captain of the first troop is also the personal attendant of The Inquisitor.
Therefore, from the personal attendants, you can usually tell the level of the strongest sword in This Pill.
"Someone has specially calculated that the level of the swords in the array is directly related to the battle record of The Inquisitor.
The better the sword's value, the better the battle record.
It's very easy to understand, right?
If the hardware is good, the results won't be too bad.
"You see, the four-flower ones are generally stronger than the three-flower ones. Needless to say, the five-flower ones can't be forged.
Individual swords are also very popular because of special values or low probability of appearing when forged. "
He Tian clicked on another page and showed Ji Kai the comparison results of different swords.
"So?"
"So, you're just starting to play, so you must build a good foundation!"
He Tian put down the tablet and was especially serious. "Don't forge swords casually, don't appear casually, and don't waste the opportunity to appear in the array.
You must arrange the swords properly and make the most of their value. "
