Qi Li suppressed his anxiety and waited for three hours as the government said.
She believed Shizheng's reply was true, but more questions arose: Why did the location of the battle suddenly change? Why can't I send out a contact or even an emergency recall?
The time-space conversion device produced by the Time Government has never had any problems before, but today, it was sent to a special battlefield due to an error during its first deployment.
The more Qili thought about it, the more he felt that these things seemed to be connected by an invisible thread, but what was that thread?
"general!"
Three hours passed unknowingly, and the conversion device in the courtyard glowed with golden light, which gradually condensed into thin lines and dissipated in the air, with spots of light dancing all around.
Yaken's voice came from the castle tower. Nanari stopped thinking and immediately looked out of the window to check on them. There were six people in the team, and Hyuga Masamune was the most seriously injured. Although the others were also injured to varying degrees, they all returned intact.
Yagen Toushirou only had time to see Nanari looking out the window for a short while before she disappeared. Before he could wonder for two seconds, the door of the castle tower was slammed open.
Nanari was holding the sword in his hand, his eyes were still a little swollen.
"Hurry up and get to the hand room for me!" Nanari saw that they were all standing there and not going directly to the hand room to repair the body. The suppressed worry and anger burst out, and he immediately stuffed Yushou into Hinata's hands, but he didn't dare to push him hard, for fear of touching any wound and aggravating the injury.
The room was filled with people like never before.
"I'm sorry to have worried you." Hinata Masamune said to her while soaking his body in the recovery pool. "I'm very sorry."
Nanari squatted down and poked his cheek: "Yaoyan explained it to me clearly. Why do you insist on fighting three people alone when you have no defense?"
Hinata Masamune tried to evade the question: "Hmm... Speaking of which, Master, aren't we going to Wanwu today?"
Qi Li poked him twice more in annoyance: "Just take your time to fix it. We'll talk about it after it's finished."
Wanwu is a shopping mall specially opened by the government of time for judges and gods of the dead. There are also some shops opened by judges, such as the snack shops and restaurants on A2 Street, and the clothing stores on A7 Street.
Not many people come to Wanwu during this period of time.
Behind Nanari were Hyuga Masamune and Cangdaikiri Mitsutada. The other deities in Honmaru had directly declined the invitation and had no intention of going out.
In the end, only Hyuga Masamune, who had to deal with some missing supplies, and Candlestick Mitsutada, who had to buy more seasonings and ingredients in the kitchen, accompanied the judge to Man'ya.
There were two rows of shops neatly lined up along Wanwu Street. Zhutaiqie said hello and left the group to go to the food store.
Hinata was not familiar with Wanwu and could not think of what to buy. After walking around for a while, Nanari led Hinata to a candy store.
Toushirou and his friends in Honmaru liked the sweets from this shop the most, and all other shops had to wait in line. Nanari, who couldn't tell the difference, once wondered if she and they were eating the same kind.
Usually, he buys candy for Toushirou and the judges and gives them to the judges for a one-go-one-spin. Occasionally, Nanari comes along to see if there is anything he is interested in. The sword-carrying dead god will only buy and distribute a fixed amount to prevent the judges and the short swords from having toothaches in the middle of the night.
"Hinata, do you have a favorite flavor?" Nanari stood in front of the huge box of candies, looking through them row by row, occasionally putting the ones she picked out into a small basket. Most of them were fruit candies.
Hinata Masamune stood in front of the candy cabinets across the street and seemed troubled: "Actually, I don't know which one to choose."
"How about picking a little bit of each?"
"Eh? That's too much. It will melt if you don't finish it."
"It seems to be true... But speaking of this matter, should we install another refrigerator and freezer in Honmaru?"
“Because there are so many people?”
"Yes, Honmaru cooks more meals every day now, but the refrigerator doesn't have a large storage capacity. Although it will be full, it will be eaten up soon."
Hinata Masamune thought for a moment, "Then we do need to install another one. Mr. Kadakiri said before that the cabinet is not big enough to hold things."
"Well, the cabinet will expand the main castle after we return."
While chatting with Nanari, Hinata picked up two candies of different flavors and walked slowly to the corner of the store. There were only two kinds of candies in the cabinet, wrapped in simple candy wrappers of different colors, and there was no indication of the flavor.
Hinata Masamune pondered for a moment, then picked out some of the candies wrapped in various colored wrappers, and the small basket was half full in an instant.
This way, the judge won't put candies of strange flavors into his basket, right? Hinata thought.
The piece of paper that should have been stuck on the candy cabinet was lying quietly at the bottom of the cabinet, with the words "Surprise Candy" facing the ground. Even if it was facing up, only the wooden cabinet could appreciate it.
When checking out, the shopkeeper looked at Hinata Masamune in surprise, probably thinking that it was a surprise that a deity other than Tsurumaru Kuninaga would choose this candy.
"I didn't expect that a mature person like you like this kind of candy." The boss thought solemnly.
Hinata Masamune and Feng Ping were killed.
"Yo!"
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was hiding behind the converter, and when she saw Nanari come back, she jumped out and scared her.
Hinata Masamune who came to Honmaru yesterday was stunned. He seemed to be more frightened than the Shinto judge, and more because of the destruction of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's image.
After all, yesterday was not a long time, and all the holes dug by Tsurumaru were filled early. The only shocking thing was that the wine of Yamaubakiri Kunihiro was replaced at dinner, and Hinata was not there when the culprit was caught afterwards.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's appearance can easily lead to misunderstanding of his personality. If no one reminded him or he took the initiative to reveal his true colors, Hinata Masamune would never have imagined that this person had such a quirky side.
If the judge knew what Hinata Masamune was thinking, he would probably remind him seriously to be careful as he could easily fall into a trap. Of course, Hasebe was the most vulnerable. During that period, the number of times Hasebe and Tsurumaru fought increased sharply.
"It's candy." A few uneaten candies in Hinata Masamune's hand caught Tsurumaru's attention. He walked over, picked up one and examined it carefully, confirming that it was the kind he used to buy at Man-ya. The wrapping paper had been newer, so he almost didn't recognize it.
"If Tsurumaru-dono needs it, please take it." Hinata Masamune said.
He picked up four or five pills from Hinata Masamune's hand and put them in his pocket. He also peeled off another one and put it into Hinata's mouth: "Thank you, it's exactly what I need."
The candy wrapper fell into Hyuga Masamune's palm, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga took advantage of his distraction to slip away.
--mustard?
When you put the candy in your mouth, the sweetness turns into a spiciness that explodes.
Hinata Masamune covered his mouth and wanted to vomit but didn't know where to vomit, so he could only hold it in for the time being. Nanari noticed something was wrong and turned around to see Tanto Fukushin's eyes were red.
"Hinata! What's wrong with you Hinata?!"
"Sugar... so spicy..."
"How can sugar...wait, spit it into the tissue first, and let me see the sugar."
Nanari handed over the tissue, took out the candy that Hinata Masamune bought from the small package, unwrapped the candy wrapper and carefully identified it, but after a long time, she still couldn't tell what it was. So Nanari took a deep breath, prepared for the spiciness, and ate one herself.
This time, the bitterness was overwhelming and it took Qili two seconds to remember that she had some tissues left. She quickly spit it into the tissues and wrapped up the candy, which had an absolutely unacceptable taste.
The short sword-wielding god of the underworld and the judge looked at each other, and a sense of sympathy could be vaguely seen between them.
"It looks like a surprise candy..." Nanari said weakly, "The packaging paper wasn't like this before. I didn't recognize it."
Hinata Masamune felt the burning pain in his mouth and on the tip of his tongue. He covered his cheek and said, "I didn't see the instructions on the cards, so I just bought them randomly... I'm so sorry."
"No, it's nothing serious, just a taste shock."
Nanari stuffed the small bag into Hinata's hands and suddenly remembered something: "By the way... where is Candida Kiri?"
"Mr. Kadakiri's words seem to still be there, Man-ya?"
Nanari:!!!
Hinata Masamune:!!!
"My lord, when will you change your habit of losing things after buying them?" Kadakiri Mitsutada had a helpless look on his face. In his hand that was not holding the vegetables, he was holding a portable device, which helped him return to the Honmaru smoothly. His movements were so skillful that it was heartbreaking.
Each of them listened with their heads down as if in mourning, nodding their heads from time to time, looking like they were listening attentively.
Considering that Nanari and Hyuga Masamune had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, Cangtai Kiri didn't say much, and his attitude was to pick it up high and put it down gently.
"I'm going to the kitchen first."
After saying this, the sword god touched his two drooping heads and left.
The Many-leaf cherry blossoms in Honmaru bloomed even more beautifully after the inquisitor injected spiritual power into them, and the petals fluttered and fell, floating into the cup and swirling.
In the evening, Hinata learned that the others were planning to hold a welcome party. Kadokiri and Kasen were in charge of the food, and occasionally when they tasted the food, they would catch a white dumpling that tried to add to the soup.
The surprise candy that Hinata Masamune bought by mistake was just right for Tsurumaru.
He was lucky enough to get a strawberry flavored one, and he shared the rest with the others. Toushirou and his friends were also hit, causing Ichigo Ichijin to smile and pick up his wooden sword to chase Tsurumaru halfway around Honmaru before stopping.
The Tsuru in question was not only unafraid but also laughed heartily, and Hinata Masamune could hear it clearly across the corridor.
Hinata Masamune: "...Tsurumaru-dono, you are so energetic."
The welcome party was held at night, all the lights in the Honmaru were lit up, and the Manyo cherry trees were also surrounded by a circle of small colored lights.
It was a rare opportunity for Nanali to taste some sake, but knowing that he could not drink much, he took a sip and put the cup down, watching the deceased gods sitting together and chatting animatedly.
The Gokotui's companion tigers used their claws to fiddle with the white cloth hanging on the ground by Yamaubakiri Kunihiro, and then jumped up one after another and successfully landed in Yamaubakiri's arms.
The young man with the katana sword was half lying on the top of a thick tree. The cloth that usually covered his head slipped down. Unfortunately, Nanari didn't have time to see the face underneath the cloth before it was covered again. Yamaubakiri held the tiger in his arms, who was sleeping with his eyes closed. He lowered his eyes to meet the face of the judge who looked up at him.
Yamaubakiri: “…” He understood the judge’s expression and pulled the cloth down to block it more tightly.
"Don't call me pretty!"
"Yes, yes, Yamaubakiri is handsome. Very handsome."
Nanari knew how to poke Ubagiri, and she spoke the compliments without hesitation. She was so satisfied that she couldn't speak when she saw the steam coming out of the shaving head. She was concerned about the tigers sleeping soundly, so she could only hide herself under the lush petals.
"You're still so shy."
"Master, you like teasing Yamaubakiri too much."
"No way, I'm telling the truth. Isn't Qingguang cute too?"
"Of course—no, you're trying to change the subject?"
"No, yes, oh——"
Kashuu Kiyomitsu's face was full of disbelief, and he turned around and responded when Yamato-kami Yasunari called out.
"This is for you. It's a gift." Kashuu Kiyomitsu stuffed two small cloth bags into the judge's hands and ran away quickly, sitting down with Yamato no Mori Yasunari.
"Hairpins?" Qili opened the cloth bag, which contained two obviously handmade hairpins and some other small items.
"California is so cunning—"
Luantou was the first to notice that Kashuu Kiyomitsu was giving a gift to Nanari, so he immediately rushed over and stuffed the candy he had received today into the hands of the inquisitor, smiling adorably.
Seeing this, the other short swords followed suit. In an instant, Qi Li was submerged in the crowd. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Ichiki Ichijin could actually bear the weight of so many younger brothers. He was worthy of being the head of the family.
Hyuga Masamune tilted his eyes and looked at the Judge, who was sitting with Yaken and the others.
"Everyone is very nice." He said, "It is also a blessing to meet the master."
"Yes." Yao Yan replied.
