Chapter 657 [Chapter 4] 80
After returning to Honmaru, Hasebe Hasebe, who came to report the various conditions of Honmaru during the period when the God Judge came out, hesitated a bit.
Although the female examiner seemed to be a little tired, she sat behind the huge desk with a tired face, resting her right hand on the armrest of the chair to support her forehead, as if she didn't care much about what he reported. Or maybe it's just because I trust him to make independent decisions that are beneficial to the Honmaru, so I don't have to ask everything——
However, when Yashibu Hasebu reported that "a small-scale fire suddenly broke out in your office in the afternoon, but no casualties were caused, but unfortunately it affected the documents on your desk, and one document was burned. I am very sorry!" At that moment, the female judge suddenly opened her half-closed eyes, and suddenly straightened her upper body, as if she was very interested in it.
Hasebe, who had been taking care of her affairs with great care during the absence of the god judge, felt even more annoyed.
He even stumbled while narrating because of it.
"Uh... In the afternoon, because you were out in battle, no one was in your office. It was Mr. California, who was in charge of cleaning the floor of the verandah today, who first noticed that there seemed to be a fire coming out of your office."
Speaking of this, Yakiri Hasebe had to cough, barely suppressing the guilt of "I didn't complete the task assigned by the master, and I didn't take good care of the main pill when the master came out", and continued to narrate the matter after.
"Mr. California rushed in in time, but found something strange."
"Only the document placed in the middle of your desk caught fire, and the fire extinguished itself after the document burned out, and did not spread to other objects and documents on the desk and in the room."
"Afterwards, I inspected the entire room carefully, and did not find any suspicious fire points or any possible causes of fire..."
Hasebe Cutter coughed again and lowered his head slightly.
"Therefore, the cause of the fire has not been found. The contents of that document are also unknown... It was because of my ineffective supervision that such a thing happened while you were leaving Honmaru. I am very sorry!"
Although he said "life comes first", Aruji, who seemed to have never acted so weak in front of her new master, controlled Kiri Hasebe. When he apologized, his expression was very sincere, and he really regretted this Honmaru. Such a mistake has been made, and—
After apologizing, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and presented it to the Goddess with both hands.
"Although it is impossible to investigate and find out the contents of the destroyed documents, I have collected as much as possible of the scattered ashes for you...here it is."
After the female Goddess paused slightly, and then reached out to take the small cloth bag, Hasebe took a step back and bowed her head deeply to apologize again.
"...I am very sorry for such a mistake!"
The female examiner seemed to be slightly taken aback.Then, she shook her head and smiled slightly.
"...It's okay, Hasebe-kun," she said.
"I think I can probably guess which document was burned..."
She sighed slightly.
"It doesn't matter. I have already understood the cause and effect of this matter. This is not your responsibility. Please guard this Honmaru well at various times from now on."
Hasebe showed a very surprised expression.
"Yes, master!" he answered loudly after a moment's pause.Sounds like he has completely regained his confidence.
Moreover, it sounded like the vague barrier between him and Honmaru's new interrogator seemed to have been eliminated as a result.
The female examiner showed an expression slightly similar to a wry smile, watched Hasebe finish his report and retreated from the room.
When he walked to the door, he turned around hesitantly, showing a look of trying to think and remember.After a while, he seemed to finally remember something, his eyes lit up, and he said to the female interrogator: "Master! I rushed to the scene before the document was completely burned, although I couldn't prevent the document from being completely burned. Ashes, but before that I tried to see the words on it, maybe it will be helpful for you to recall the content on it..."
The female examiner nodded in good temper, and replied, "Okay, Mr. Hasebe. What words did you see?"
Hasebe thought for a while.
"It's—the word '言葉'." He said.
In the orange-red twilight that came in from the outside, he seemed to see the corners of the female judge's lips curled up and smiled.
"...I see," she said.
When Hasebe walked out of the door, turned around and closed the door carefully for her, the female judge looked down at the cloth bag she was holding tightly in her hand, and then sighed slightly.
"Although the basis for finally reconciling with Hasebe-kun should be the goodwill accumulated from the continuous efforts from before to now..." she said as if talking to herself.
"However, today's incident... can be regarded as a bonus? Maybe it also prompted him to make the final decision to accept me as his 'Aluji'?"
A sincere smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she gently squeezed the cloth bag containing a small handful of ashes with her fingers.
"So, in a sense, I also accepted your love."
She paused, then said the name.
"Taiheng."
Now when she said that, she was already very calm.It is even possible to bring up things about him in an objective and calm manner like a complete bystander.
She looked down at the little cloth bag.
What was contained in the bag should be the ashes of a thin sheet of paper.On that piece of paper was written the waka that Fujiwara Yasuhira sent to her according to the etiquette on the morning of the Taisha wedding.
[One word is worth ten thousand gold / Although the clouds and autumn leaves are dry / Everything fades / I am the only one who admires you / I will never change after autumn]
Perhaps, when she discovered that the person who appeared there in Atsuga Shishan had turned into the real historical figure "Fujiwara Yasuhiro" again, some mysterious force left the non-historical "Fujiwara Yasuhiro" Burn the paper you gave her.
Just like the moment she stepped into the portal leading to Honmaru, the piece of paper in which the Song of the Later Dynasty was written in her hand also burned and turned into ashes.
It is impossible to leave any traces of what should not be left in this world.
So, where did the Fujiwara Yasuhira she met now drift away, did he return to his original world, and meet the real "Izumi Gozen" again—that although the method is a bit clumsy, it doesn't seem very pleasing, But is it the girl who loves him wholeheartedly?
She slowly untied the drawstring of the cloth bag seal, and looked at the handful of ashes that had been carefully gathered together but could no longer see its original appearance.
The female judge bypassed the table and the chair behind her, took the cloth bag, walked to the window, thought for a while, and pushed the window open.
The weather here in Honmaru is just right, because she just set the scene in spring this morning willfully.At the moment when the mood is a little bit low recently, watching the spring when everything is revived and the flowers bloom will boost people's spirits, right?
At this moment, the window facing the back garden was opened, and a gust of wind happened to blow by. On a cherry blossom tree in the back garden, pale pink petals fell one after another, and floated up with the wind, blowing towards the woman standing there. in front of this window.
The female judge stretched out her hand, and spread her palm upwards, and a few cherry blossoms floated in the wind and fell gently on her palm.
She stared at the cherry blossom petals in her palm, and slowly curled the corners of her lips.
Then, she slowly turned the unsealed cloth bag over so that the opening was facing downwards, and shook it lightly.
The ashes that were carefully contained in the cloth bag leaked out little by little, and were rolled up together with the petals in the wind, and were blown farther away, until they flew over the courtyard wall of Honmaru, toward The clear spring sky flies away.
……
Early the next morning, Fox Nosuke came to visit the female judge.
Coincidentally, the female interrogator also wanted to ask it something.
"I said—are those big figures from the Government of Time planning to steal my mission clearance rewards?"
Still holding his head and sitting behind the big desk left by the previous God Inspector, this troublesome new God Inspector bent the fingers of his other hand and tapped on the table with his knuckles.
In fact, she had already seen the big white cloth bag on Fox's back.Judging from the oversized size of the bag, it might contain some kind of gold and silver treasure (fog!).
...However, judging from the example of the famous product of Honmaru among the swordsmen - the "amazing, white, amazing, tasteless!" big rice balls from the hands of Tsurumaru Kuninaga, not every shape "Amazing Big Amazing White" objects are all good things.
Well, it really depends on the inside.
With this kind of mood that seems to be full of aura, but actually a little relaxed and teasing, Liu Quan held his chin and looked at the little fox standing there with a smile that was almost covered by the overly large desk.
The look on Honosuke's face was serious.
"I came today, of course, to accept the instructions of the outdated government!" The little fox said seriously with a sharp voice.
Liu Quan: "Oh?"
Seeing the interested expression of the female God-inspector, the little fox seemed to have a more serious expression.
"Master God Judge, I was ordered to have a good talk with you today. Behind the special mission you have been given this time, the princes of the Government of Time have also made some incredible discoveries... Would you like to hear it? ?”
Ah, even though he said a question like "Would you like to hear it?", the meaning behind it cannot be rejected.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan crossed his hands on the table to support his chin, showing a very interested expression.
"Of course. Please," she replied.
Foxnosuke seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
It lowered its head and seemed to organize its words, then raised its head again, and asked in a serious tone like a history teacher:
"Have you heard of the historical event of 'The Battle of the Last Three Years'?"
