Chapter 651 [Chapter 4] 74
After leaving for several days (?), the female judge finally returned to Honmaru with the six fusangshen who accompanied her that night.
During her absence, Honmaru was running(?) in an orderly manner.Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Yakiri Hasebe are both very trustworthy in maintaining the normal operation of the Honmaru.There was no problem with the defense of the Shantop Shrine, which was in charge of Qingguang and Anding.
It seems that although the mission of the Goddess was initially rushed due to the retrograde army attacking the mountain shrine in the middle of the night, the final result was quite successful.
When it was time for dinner, the contact from the government of Toki had already arrived.Foxnosuke received the notification and announced with great enthusiasm that the time government confirmed that the space-time disorder related to the 5-4 Atsuga Shishan battle has been corrected, and will commend this successor who has established Honmaru, but a female judge who made outstanding contributions to unexpected missions.
Being commended in this way by the seemingly harsh government of time, the Goddess Judge didn't seem very happy.
She also ate very little for dinner.Compared with the previous relaxed, calm and energetic posture, she seemed a little reticent, showing a bit of fatigue.
She didn't immediately ask Hasebe to report on the operation status of the Honmaru for the past few days, but entrusted Hasebe to maintain the Honmaru for a day as a valet, because she needed to rest.
If this situation were placed in other Honmaru - all the swords were forged by the judges or obtained on the battlefield - Hasebe would probably be worried to death, and immediately became very nervous, racking his brains to let the judges The gods cheer up as soon as possible and restore their former vitality.
However, the situation in this Honmaru is special now. Although Hasebe is the master, the level of personal feelings will still subtly affect his attitude of serving the master—in other words, he will fulfill his duties and complete all official duties; however, The mental depression brought about by this personal emotion?I'm sorry, he sincerely hopes that Lord God Judge can get rid of this bad influence as soon as possible, but he hasn't figured out what attitude he should take to deal with this matter, and whether he should intervene or not.
But in fact, his moderate politeness, respect, and sense of distance are exactly what today's female examiners need.
For a long time, perhaps because I am used to the need to complete tasks alone, and the psychological pressure that will be generated when completing tasks also needs to be faced and adjusted alone. Liu Quan also does not think that other people have any influence on the situation he has to face. Any obligation to help comfort yourself.
What's more, think about it, maybe I don't really need those vain comforts.
For example, when the deputy chief touched her head and said, "It's so pitiful, don't be sad", she would wipe away her tears and quickly forget Xiaoyi who stayed behind and swore to live and die with Aizu. After that, happily follow the rest of the Shinsengumi members to continue northward.
Or, in the Hogwarts castle in the middle of the night, could it be that Sirius was sitting on the steps beside her, holding a bottle of butterbeer, and helping her to drink the stubborn "that snot-nosed man"—— Wouldn't the sense of frustration and anxiety she felt lessen if Nepe scolded her like blood?
Not to mention, those things in those whimsical imaginations—those comforts have never happened.
Nor does Liu Quan think that if they actually happened, the situation would be much better than it is now.
...Just leave her alone for a while.
In the middle of the night, the female judge did not go back to her room to sleep, but sat alone in the porch.
Honmaru was very quiet at night, except for Fusangshin who had a bold (?) personality like Iwarong, who might snore loudly while sleeping, everyone slept soundly.
Liu Quan just sat on the corridor, facing the quiet courtyard, with his feet hanging down, dangling in the air one by one, and the teacup in his hand was steaming.
She just sat there, although she was facing the courtyard, she didn't seem to see the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.
She just swayed her feet, tilted her head slightly, and supported the ground under the seat with her hands at her sides, and her shoulders were slightly raised because of this movement—she looked completely lazy and careless.
Suddenly, soft, unhurried footsteps sounded in the corridor.
The person who came was probably only wearing a foot bag, not clogs or sandals, and because his pace was not fast, his footsteps made almost imperceptible, very low noises when they landed on the wooden floor of the corridor.
But Liu Quan still noticed it very quickly.
Even so, she didn't turn her head to see who it was, but continued to stare at the night courtyard in front of her.The moonlight in the night sky shines on the flowers, trees and pools in the courtyard, forming a special aesthetic feeling.
The visitor came to her side, paused slightly, and said slowly: "Ahahaha, so you are here."
Liu Quan hummed without looking back.
The person who came didn't think it was disobedient, and sat down beside her lightly - but not sitting next to her, but a little distance away.Between the two of them was the steaming teacup and a small saucer with refreshments.
That person also imitated her appearance, sitting on the porch with his feet hanging out of the porch, of course he did not sway his feet like her, but sat with his shoulders straight and his knees together, sitting very upright , with his hands on his lap, exactly the same posture as when drinking tea with Yingmaru and enjoying the scenery - if he put a teacup in his hand, it would be more similar.
"...Ah, are you looking at the moon?"
After a pause, he looked in the direction of her gaze and asked.
His voice is soft and his attitude is calm, inexplicably there is a sense of peace and trustworthiness in the heart-this is not in line with his usual gentle and slightly black-bellied style that she is already familiar with; So there was a moment of silence.
Finally, she simply replied: "...Yes."
Strangely, he didn't ask any more questions, but chuckled in a low voice, and changed the subject on his own initiative.
"...Are you thinking about someone?"
This kind of temptation was blatant, but because Sanri Yuezong's tone was so natural and glamorous, it made Liu Quan feel inexplicably a little angry.
On second thought, isn't that his style?
...Hey, what's the matter with this spontaneous feeling of "ah, there is always one person who is normal in this chaotic world" mystery!
Liu Quan crooked the corners of his lips, barely revealing a smile.
Then a surprising answer was given.
"...I'm thinking about Mr. Zouji."
Mikazuki Zongjin hesitated slightly, as if he didn't think that the name she gave would be Okita Souji.However, he quickly recovered that calm and calm demeanor, and replied with a smile: "Ah, the former owner of California and Yamato Mori, hahaha."
Liu Quan: "...Yes."
After answering this question, she didn't immediately babble about what was on her mind, and Sankai Yuezong was not in a hurry to ask; there was a brief silence between the two of them.
Then, Liu Quan sighed slightly.
"Mr. Zongsi, you have become a Rakshasa, you know this too."
Sanri Yuezong paused for a moment, then smiled kindly.
"Hahaha, is it really okay to just say that?" He reminded her vaguely, with a hint of concern (?).
Liu Quan looked at the silver-white moonlight-filled courtyard, and after a while, slowly shook his head.
"...It doesn't matter, even if you know it, it doesn't matter." She said.
"Because there is no way to change his final fate."
Mikazuki Zongjin: "Oh~?!"
Liu Quan ignored his slightly interesting ending, continued to look at the courtyard, and said in a rigid voice as if to be straightforward:
"The last time I saw him was in Edo, but at that time, I heard that he and Chizuru-chan were going to Mutsu together, because the water there was good for improving Rakshasa's physique."
Sankai Yuezong didn't say a word, as if he was just waiting patiently for when she would like to continue talking below.His gentle breathing seemed to be heard clearly in the quiet night corridor.
"...Then, many years have passed." Liu Quan was silent for a moment before continuing.
After saying this, she stopped suspiciously again and stopped talking.
Sanri Yuezong waited for a while, but she couldn't speak, so he turned his face slightly, and the beautiful crescent-shaped eyes quietly cast on her face.
"And then?" he asked softly.
However, upon hearing this simple question, Liu Quan suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath.
Then, she turned her gaze to the courtyard again, and said, "The last time I heard about him, it wasn't even a direct notification, such as 'What happened to Souji Okita'."
Sanri Yuezong responded softly. "Um."
Liu Quan smiled suddenly, and said with a self-deprecating tone: "...but I found out by chance that I am the last remaining Rakshasa in that world."
Sanri Yuezong showed a slightly understanding expression, silently oh, and nodded slightly.
Liu Quan continued to speak.
"At that time, I was thinking... what happened to Souji-kun in Mutsu."
"...In the end, how did you leave?"
Mikazuki Zongjin didn't speak.
However, without warning, he stretched out his hand and touched the hair on the top of her head.
This action made Liu Quan tremble all of a sudden.She lowered her head abruptly, and her shoulders, which were slightly raised because of her arms resting on the ground, trembled slightly.
After a long time, she suddenly raised her head again, sniffed her nose forcefully, and said in a tone that was almost gnashing her teeth: "...I just wanted to watch the moon!"
The author has something to say:

Um, so, everyone understands [.

By the way, miss the chief
PS. In Hanamaru, grandpa called Qingguang and Anding "California" and "Yamato Shou".So here it is.
Strictly speaking, this is correct, because Qingguang and Anding should be the names of swordsmiths, just like calling grandpa "San Ri Yue" instead of "Zong Jin".
