Higemaru took out the communicator and sent the exact location to Hasebe Higekiri, who quickly replied. Higekiri was still trying to find a topic to talk about, but he pretended to recall after only a few words, forgetting what he was talking about.

Hinata Masamune: “…………” He always felt that this Higekiri-dono did it on purpose.

The hand used its cool fingertips to touch the pointed white bone spur on Hinata's neck, and pressed it lightly with interest. The bone spur grew there exactly and would not retract like a spring.

Feeling that it was not interesting, Higekiri loosened his grip on the two men and turned to Hasebe who had come over and said, "You are very fast, Hasebe."

Veins bulged on Higekiri Hasebe's forehead, and the hand holding the knife was ready to move. However, due to the current situation, it was not easy for him to refute, so he simply ignored Higekiri's call and looked at the wandering god of death who remained where he was.

"Then please join us."

The windows of the castle tower were tightly closed and rarely opened. Hasebe looked over, but the judge was not there. It seemed like an illusion when he stared at it just now.

The wooden steps inevitably made a slight sound when stepped on. Hyuga Masamune fell behind and noticed two figures in the farmland not far away when he came out of the conversion device. He didn't have time to take a closer look, and Hasebe was leading the way to the room of the judge.

Most of the wandering Demigods are former judges who have resigned. They are Demigods who suddenly awakened while the main castle was closed. The spirit does not know the reason for this phenomenon. Shizheng tried to test it but got no results.

The unexpectedly awakened Fu Wangshen remembered all his past memories, but he did not have the corresponding ability to appear. He could only go to the battlefield to collect some weak spiritual power that appeared after the battle with the Tracing Army.

Hinata Masamune unconsciously became a little nervous and recalled the instructions for the live attack. Kokaruma quietly retreated to his side and whispered to comfort him.

The sliding door on the second floor was wide open, posing a welcoming attitude.

098 The Honmaru judge was sitting in the room, with a few pens and a sword book scattered on the table. The page was turned to a page with two empty spaces, where the two swords of "Hinata Masamune" and "Kokarasuma" were located.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you two." The judge's face revealed a bit of falseness. "Since you two chose to come to Honmaru, I think you have already made up your mind."

The conversation was interrupted because the judge received an invitation message, and in the end, they just made a simple arrangement for Hasebe to take them to their accommodation before leaving the castle tower.

The layout of different honmaru is also different, mostly arranged according to the preferences of the judges.

098 The Honmaru is not connected by simple straight corridors. The routes are winding and you may miss your destination if you are not careful.

The farm is the easiest to find, located opposite the castle tower. Two red silhouettes intersect in the vast expanse of green. Hyuga Masamune recognized them as Izumi no Kami Kanesada and Horikawa Kunihiro. A little to the left are the blooming Many-leaf cherry blossoms, with light pink petals adorning the branches, which is a magnificent sight from a distance.

When passing by Mikazuki Munechika, the sword-wielding god who was squinting his eyes to enjoy the warm sunlight put down his teacup, and Hinata lowered her eyes and turned to meet his gaze.

"New partner." He said, "If you have time, come and have tea with me."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to have a cup of tea with you, too."

"Hahaha, of course you are welcome."

The meaning of the two swords' death myth was all obscurely hidden between the words. Not only did Okiri Hasebe not understand why there was a sudden hostility, but Hinata was also a little confused. He intuitively felt that this Mikazuki Munechika was a little more troublesome than the one he knew.

The test ended there, Mikazuki stopped talking and returned to his leisurely state.

The residence of the Shinsengumi is not remote. Hasebe chose the room according to his own wishes, unlike other sword schools. The corridors are connected by bends, and Hinata wrote down the route to avoid mistakes later.

"We're here." Hasebe interrupted his thoughts. Everything in the room was neatly arranged, and it looked like nothing was missing. There was a single plate of snacks on the small table.

The mission of leading the way was completed, and Hasebe Yasuo took his leave. He still had some documents from the Judge that needed him to deal with.

Xiao Karasuma found the matching tea set and tea leaves in the side cabinet. He took the pot out and returned with it half full of hot water. The tea leaves swirled and sank lightly on the water. Xiao Karasuma took out two teacups, poured half a cup, and pushed one of them to Hinata's hand.

The two did not discuss any information about the mission, nor did they say much. They simply sipped tea and chatted leisurely. The miniature communicator that could be used to directly contact the active attacker was hidden in his sleeve and was not easy to find.

This mission did not exist at first.

No matter how many times the search team secretly inquired, other people who had come into contact with the 098 Honmaru Judge had no negative impression of him, but the search team received anonymous reports one after another.

Like a prank that went on too long.

Finally, there was no choice but to reply to the sender of the report letter to ask if there was any evidence. There was silence for a long time, and then a short video was attached, which was taken from a hidden angle. It showed a faint black gas lingering on the ground outside the 098 main castle - this black gas was unique to the Time Travel Army.

Later, when Huo Ji led the team to inspect the main castles in various districts, he noticed the place in the video. It was clean and nothing was there. Even so, the political side was also alert to the 098 main castle. They secretly investigated the psychic and went through the resume and documents of the period over and over again. There were doubts, but there was no real evidence.

That's why two Fukujins are now dressed as wandering Fukujins and enter the battlefield waiting for the correct team to pick people. However, it was probably just a coincidence that the two people who drew the lottery tickets were exactly the swords that the 098 Honmaru Judges did not have.

The temperature of the tea continued to drop in silence before someone took a sip.

"I hope it goes well."

Ma Dangban's job is relatively easy, except that the partner assigned by the judge is Catfish Tail.

Hinata: “…………”

He sighed and reached out to touch the horse's head, which was obediently lowered to his hand. The large bale of feed was spread out and placed almost evenly.

"Hinata!"

Catfishtail called him excitedly, and when he turned around, he saw Catfishtail holding a bucket of an unknown object that could be used to create mosaics, which can be generally called horse feces.

"I collected all the horse poop." Catfishtail happily put the bucket on the ground, and it was indeed full.

Hinata: "..." He was silent for a while.

“But there’s nowhere to use it.”

"Eh? Can't it be used as fertilizer?"

"Fertilizer is fine... but it needs to be processed first."

"Is that so..."

The depression only lasted for a short while. Catfishtail quickly cheered up and regrouped. He carried the full bucket to one side. Another horse came over and rubbed Catfishtail's cheek, and the latter did not avoid it.

A familiar figure approached from the other side. It was Hasebe Yasaki.

"The master is looking for you."

"Did you tell me what it was, Mr. Hasebe?"

"I don't know for now. Xiao Karasuma-dono just came back from the battle and has already passed by."

There is nothing wrong with this Honmaru, at least on the surface.

Manyozakura, who was opened up by the pure spiritual power of the Judge, interacted with other Honmaru Fukuei gods in a way that was not much different. She was relaxed and happy from the inside out. Even the Judge himself did not show any signs of -

Not true.

Although I have never seen how the judges and the gods of the dead get along with each other with other people, but as a sword that puts life first, is Hasebe's attitude towards the judges a little cold?

The judge didn't notice Hinata's distraction and tapped the table with his fingertips: "As for the contract, it's up to you two."

Two Yu Shou were placed in front of him, full of spiritual power.

"Consider this as a gift." The inquisitor smiled again, without the fakeness that he could not hide when they first met. "Please accept it, both of you."

"Three-day Moon Palace?"

Hinata was stopped by Mikazuki Munechika as he passed by the corridor, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. A warning about the man in front of him inexplicably arose in his mind - he was very dangerous.

Mikazuki Munechika pretended not to hear him and motioned for him to sit down: "Grandpa, it's a bit boring to drink tea alone. Isn't the little Karasuma-dono here?"

"Yes, the Judge said they were short of manpower, so I was temporarily assigned to the battle team."

"Will you find it hard to get used to it?" Mikazuki suddenly changed the subject. "After all, the Judges can be quite strict sometimes, and I prefer to be alone."

"Hasebe felt bad for a while because of this."

098 The fact that the Honmaru judge likes to be alone is recorded in the search team. Hinata pursed his lips, his blue eyes were dull. He had a feeling that Mikazuki Munechika knew something, but was telling him indirectly without saying it. Hinata even felt that the sword master had guessed something about his and Kokarasuma's identities.

"Does Mikazuki-dono like drinking tea?" Hinata asked. The Mikazuki Munechika he knew once said that he didn't like drinking tea, but he just had too much free time and wanted to have some fun.

When the spirits of the dead gods are summoned, their personalities are similar, but they will change to some extent due to the spiritual power of the judge. For example, Kashuu Kiyomitsu in Nanari Honmaru is a little confused about dressing up, and sometimes even forgets what color nail polish he bought.

Several colorful konpeito are placed in the palm of your hand, like colorful stars.

Hinata Masamune followed the hand and saw the sword-wielding god tilting his head, his fringe hanging down and a gentle smile on his lips.

"A few days ago, the children of the Awataguchi family sent a small bag of Konpeito. Grandpa doesn't like it very much, but I think everyone will like it, right?"

He picked one at random, and the sweetness of the candy slowly melted and spread in his mouth.

"It tastes good." He smiled back, "Would you like to try one, Mikazuki-dono?"

"Hahaha, then I'll try it too."

The two of them shared a small amount of konpeito. Hyuga Masamune didn't see the small bag of sugar, so he didn't know where Mikazuki Munechika got the sugar from.

As the sun sets, the last rays of sunlight gradually fade away, and the colors fade away like fire, turning into ink-colored.

Under the moonlight, you can only see the general appearance of the Manyozakura, which is not as beautiful as in the daytime.

From a distance, it looks more like a demon. The branches growing out of the tree are like the ugly outstretched hands of a demon. It seems that it will come alive in the next moment and devour the entire Honmaru.

A golden light silently lit up and broke the darkness. Hyuga Masamune looked over there and saw that the team had returned intact.

"Don't you want to go take a look?" Mikazuki Munechika casually brushed away the non-existent dust and put the tea sets in order. "Grandpa, it's time for you to go back and rest."

On the other side, Kokarasuma hurried to where Hinata was. When he arrived, Mikazuki had already left with the tea set, leaving Hinata sitting alone.

"Although it is a little later than the scheduled time, I have returned safely according to another agreement."

"It's not too late. Welcome back, little Karasuma-dono."
