Chapter 62

The curtains only blocked most of the light, allowing the room to remain bright to a certain extent.

White smoke slowly rose from the tea on the low table.

The room is tidy and clean, and everything is clear at a glance.

A low table on the tatami, a decoration in the room.

The most obvious thing is that the tea sets on the table still look like someone was there, but the owner of the room is not there.

Yagen Toushirou's gaze fell on the steaming tea.

He was sure that the other party was in the room, because he had looked for all the places that Mikazuki would go, the outer corridor, the tea room. This was the only place that was not related to the judge, and he could clearly smell the aroma of tea outside the door.

It was the box he gave me.

I looked around the room from the coffee table to the cupboard, but didn't see anything unusual.

Without any prior suspicion, Yagen Toushirou simply took a quick look.

He was puzzled and whispered to himself, "Not here?"

strangeness.

Honmaru isn't that big, how come he didn't bump into anyone when Mikazuki just left?

If we talk about the destination that is opposite to the direction he came from in this corridor, it might be Mikazuki's destination.

Yagen Toushirou closed the sliding door and looked in one direction.

——The only thing left is the castle tower where Chidori is.

Yaoyan originally planned to have tea with Sochin Mikazuki, because being with him always makes you feel the other person's leisurely nature, and this atmosphere is actually very soothing.

So it should be a pleasant thing to drink tea with Mikazuki, which can relax your mental state.

Especially in the current situation of Honmaru, it should be a way to relax for Yaken himself.

But since all three locations were unsuccessful, he didn't necessarily have to go find Mikazuki to have tea.

The desire for exploration in pharmaceutical research is not strong, and those who cannot be found for the time being can also do other things.

After all, there is no reason to find Mikazuki.

It was possible that they missed each other while walking in Honmaru, so he didn't think too much about it.

However, when he looked towards the direction of the castle tower, he suddenly thought that the most important thing to do during the rest period in this main castle is to get everyone together to do some activities and strengthen their relationships.

They were once family, but for Chidori and Touma, this reunion is fundamentally different.

The bond between the judge and the sword is one of mutual trust and support, just like comrades-in-arms and also like family.

New ways of getting along always require adjustment.

The general gradually stopped rejecting them, but Yao Yan wanted to get closer.

At least, I should catch up with half of the Mikazuki that I depend on.

I wish Chidori could feel more secure.

…

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Kitsunesuke, who dared not breathe, finally exhaled the breath he had been holding for half a day. He breathed rapidly for two seconds and was almost suffocating to death!

The light coming from outside the paper door dimly illuminated the small and crowded place, and Munechika huddled in the dim closet holding Kitsunesuke.

The front and back of his body were filled with clothes that he had squeezed out, including battle clothes and inner clothes. The sleeves of his outer clothes pressed against his hair. He supported Kitsunesuke's back with one hand and used the other to support his body to stabilize himself.

Underneath his body were stacked armor and various accessories for his battle uniform, and any movement would cause them to collide and make noises.

The decibel level is quite high.

In those few short minutes, Munechika was like a stone man, without even changing his center of gravity.

After making sure that Yakumi had left, Munechika opened the sliding door and walked out of the closet. In the process, he inevitably bumped into the broken pieces, making a rustling sound.

“Wow… I’m so scared QAQ!!”

Kitsunesuke quickly jumped out of Sochin Mikazuki's arms and shuddered with fear after saying this.

When Kitsunesuke first heard footsteps approaching from afar in the room, he didn't take it seriously. After all, walking back and forth in the corridor was normal.

If you were scared every time you heard footsteps, you would probably have two big fists in your chest.

The main reason was that he had just heard that Yagenden had left not long ago, so Kitsunesuke had been keeping his vigilance on Kadokudaikiri-dono.

Yakenden seemed to have something to do, so it might come over to look for Mikazuki at any time. In its opinion, the possibility of it being Kadokadaikirin was greater.

So it wasn't alert at all.

It was Munechika who first noticed something was wrong.

When the doctor left, he took the plastic bag with him. This bag inevitably made a special sound, which was quite easy to identify.

Although Munechika didn't take any special notes, he heard the other person from the time he left the house to the time he passed by, so he had an impression that he was probably going to take out the trash.

After the tea was brewed and Munechika finished the final finishing touches, he was just asking Kitsunesuke to take a picture of the finished product for the audience to enjoy when footsteps were heard again.

This time it's from the outside in.

There is a difference in size between Candakiri Mitsutada and Yaken Toushirou, and Yaken estimated that due to the characteristics of the short sword, the noise made when walking in the corridor would be lighter, so Munechika easily recognized it as him.

Also because of this, when a sound can be heard in a room, the distance between the other person and the door is also quite close.

If you ask Munechika what the criteria are for judging actions, it can probably be called intuition.

A long time has passed since Yao Yan passed by his door.

Munechika was not very sensitive to time, but he knew how long each step of brewing tea took, and he was able to do it when he brewed tea himself, so he figured it out to be about fifteen minutes.

But it doesn’t take that long to throw away the garbage. What did the other party do outside?

There are few people and things in Honmaru, and Chidori basically stays at home in the castle tower, so it is easier to speculate the possibility.

Should I chat with Cangdai-kiri or look for someone in Honmaru?

The room of the Yaken Research Institute is the closest to the intersection of the castle tower and the main hall. If you go to the kitchen or the castle tower, you will not take the road from the gate to this side.

Therefore, there are currently only two possible purposes for taking this route: one is to go directly back to the room, and the other is to find someone.

Yao Yan is not the kind of person who would kill time by daydreaming, so he must have done something during this time.

But it would be impossible to go to the kitchen or the castle tower and then walk back to the main gate, unless he spent all his time walking.

And Kadakiri was tidying up the garden, so Yaken would not stand there and disturb him, so he went to chat with him. If he wanted to help, it would be impossible given the time he would be back.

That……

According to Mikazuki's normal movement trajectory, the length of the Honmaru's outer corridor, the delay time, and the opponent's movement towards this side.

These thoughts are actually just a thought.

He did not come up with a specific outcome, but when he came across this possibility, he took action.

He picked up Kitsunesuke and patted his head twice - they agreed on the secret signal to turn off the live broadcast. He opened the closet and hid in it, while making sure there was no exposed fabric and closing the sliding door tightly.

Just two seconds after I hid, I heard Yagen Toushirou's questioning voice.

…

"Luckily you took me to hide." Kitsunesuke glanced at Munechika Mikazuki who was wearing the battle uniform of Kameka Shinmune. The moon-like Fukuei God was dressed in pure white, with an ethereal temperament, wavering between alienation and gentleness. She was as beautiful as ever, but it was impossible to ignore the fact that she was wearing the battle uniform of Kameka Shinmune!

Kitsunesuke couldn't imagine what would happen if Yakugenden saw Mikazuki-dono like this...

No matter what, I'm going to die!

"Change your clothes quickly, Mikazuki-dono, Yagen-dono is looking for you, you must change your clothes immediately..." Kitsunesuke thought for a while and decided that Munechika could not take the initiative to look for Yagen-dono Toushirou, otherwise it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

It suddenly had an idea: "We have to create chance encounters!"

Otherwise, Yaoyandian will definitely notice something is wrong!

However, before it could think of where it could go to meet Yagen Toushirou, it discovered that Sochin Mikazuki had taken out a camera and was setting up the tripod and adjusting it a few meters away from the closet.

While I was doing this, I heard Kitsunesuke's voice, and he said "hmm" in agreement.

“That’s the truth.”

Afterwards, Kitsunesuke was carried to the front of the camera with the angle adjusted and turned on, with a confused look on his face, and then he heard Fukuinomi say.

"Can you take a picture for me? Please."

Well, he couldn't bear the same experience any more times, so he decided not to broadcast live today.

But he also has to give back to those who have been helping him.

Munechika took out the long red rope that had been hidden, and went into the closet again. He showed his professional cosplay skills, messed up his collar, tangled the red rope, and let his half-frame glasses slide down slightly as he looked at the camera.

He knows best what kind of photos will be liked by people but will not cross the line.

"Master, may I bother you?" Yaken stopped in front of the castle tower door and asked.

Chidori's response came soon.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a relatively cozy bedroom appeared in sight. Chidori sat on the small round table, put down the book in her hand, and asked, "What's going on?"

He still looked a little cold, but it was much better than the first time Yao Yan came to him alone, when he was full of rejection.

"It's like this..." Yao Yan explained the purpose of his visit.

Actually, I just want everyone to get together in the living room or in the corridor. After all, today is a day off and everyone has some spare time. It will surely be fun to communicate or just sit together and drink tea.

If you're willing, it would be even better if we could make snacks together or take a walk.

"..." Chidori was silent for a while, then asked, "Did they agree?"

This question is a bit strange. Usually, if the Inquisitor agrees, the Swordsman will basically not refuse.

Yagen Toushirou was slightly stunned, and quickly replied, "Chodaikiri would definitely be happy to do so, but did the Admiral... see Mikazuki? He was not in his room, nor in the outer corridor or tea room. I thought he would be with the Admiral."

However, there was obviously no one in the castle tower.

Chidori holding a book

Ye's fingertips tightened, his face remained calm: "He was here just now. I asked him to go to the kitchen to prepare snacks."

He closed the book and stood up.

"Then let's do it. It's good to get together."

After Chidori and Yaken Toushirou passed by, he turned back and added, "I just saw Kadakiri cleaning the pool in the yard. Please ask him to clear the bushes next to it. Let's meet again after taking a bath. Yaken, can you come with him later?"

"Just meet in the tea room."

This request was a bit strange, but Yaken Toushirou did not question it: "I understand, General."

Chidori walked down the stairs and seemed to be heading towards the main hall, but she actually walked to the front door and turned into the inner corridor. After making a big circle like this, she went straight to Sochin Mikazuki's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the inner corridor, he started running.

"Bang." The roller under the sliding door made a sound as it rubbed against the door edge.

Due to lack of exercise, Chidori took a few breaths, stood up and looked towards the door, where Mikazuki Munechika was wearing her underwear and kneeling in front of a low table opposite to the door, holding a teacup in both hands.

Fu Cangshen tilted his head and looked sideways, his eyes slightly widened in surprise at the visitor.

"Owner?"

The author has something to say: There will be photo CG in the next chapter.

In the end, I still had my period. I was in so much pain before that I felt like I was dying, like a dead fish, and I couldn't even speak loudly. Painkillers are good, but they take an hour to take effect.

Anyway, it's still higher, no need to add it to my debt!

ps: About Chidori.

If you look at him from a different perspective... for example...

Well, forget it, you have to guess it yourself. I will write about this point later, so I won’t spoil the plot.
