Chapter 111
The golden spiritual power turned into fireflies that lit up around the black-haired girl. This sudden change caused a young calico cat in the house to flutter around. Gradually, all the golden light spots flew right in front of Qingxi, gathering more and more, and finally turned into a golden cocoon.
The calico kitten bent its front legs, its cat eyes fixed on the front, and its furry tail swayed rhythmically behind it, expressing its curiosity about the big golden cocoon in front of it.
And curiosity kills the cat—
The calico cat, realizing there was no danger, kicked its hind legs before its owner could react, and pounced towards the place where the golden light was shining.
Finally, kill the cat——
Feeling held in a strange embrace, Taro the cat was stunned at first, and then he was shocked.
The meowing sound continued, and the voice was so miserable, as if someone was trying to steal a good male cat!
Qingxi was stunned as the golden light dissipated and a dark-skinned young man with brown hair emerged from inside. The cat's meowing at home was so miserable that it made her brain, which had been dead for a while, start to work a little. She opened her mouth and said, "Um, can you give Taro back to me?"
The brown-haired, dark-skinned young man looked down with golden eyes at the calico cat that pounced on him, then looked at the eight or nine-year-old girl who was obviously not in good shape. Feeling the spiritual power in the girl's body, and confirming that he was summoned by the other party, the young man put the calico cat on the ground.
As soon as Taro landed on all fours, he meowed and ran towards Qingxi. When he was about to get close to her, he pounced on her and then snuggled into Qingxi's arms.
"Um, who are you...?" Qingxi asked the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, but his eyes were fixed on the katana on the other person's waist.
The young man with brown hair and dark skin remained silent, but his golden eyes met the girl's blue eyes directly.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl seemed to react. She struggled to stand up from the tatami, but her knees hit the small round table before she could straighten her legs. She cried out and leaned forward due to inertia, throwing the calico cat in her arms out.
The calico cat's meowing suddenly stopped, and the cat's face was full of confusion, wondering how it could be flying in the sky.
The young man with brown hair and black eyes started moving. He used one hand to grab the calico cat flying in the air, and used the other hand to support the girl who was about to fall half of her body onto the small round table.
He supported the person and let her sit back on the tatami, then stuffed the cat back into the girl's arms and let her hold it herself. The young man didn't know what to do next.
He was a little bewildered as he looked at the little girl, who was only about his waist height and was shedding tears due to the pain. However, his bewilderment took on a different meaning to Qingxi, whose knee pain was so severe that tears kept falling from her eyes.
Cold, ice.
After the worst of the pain passed, she prepared to stand up again. "I don't know why I summoned you, but you're also a swordsman, right? Are you a companion in the same Honmaru as Tsurumaru and Yaken? Anyway, I'll take you to them first."
The girl looked miserable as she limped along. The brown-haired, dark-skinned young man following behind her hesitated for a moment, then took two quick steps and stood in front of her. He carried her away to her surprise, and then looked at her coldly.
Qingxi was a little slow to react, but she soon understood and reached out to show him the way. "This way."
Qingxi, who was carried by the brown-haired and black-haired princesses all the way from the Crow House to the Butterfly House, received sidelong glances from medical staff and patients.
"Ashi, who is this gentleman?"
Kanae Kocho was originally making rounds in the ward on the second floor, but a medical staff member hurried over to tell her that a stranger suddenly appeared and was walking in the Kocho ward holding Qingxi, and asked her to go over and check to avoid any accidents.
With this curiosity, Butterfly Kanae hurried over.
"Ah, he is..." Qingxi paused. Speaking of which, she still didn't know what kind of famous sword the other person was. She glanced awkwardly at the dark-skinned young man holding her, then changed the subject, "He's here to look for Tsurumaru and Yaken."
"General, who's looking for me?" Yagen Toushirou, who had also heard about this matter and came over to see what was going on out of curiosity, arrived before he even said a word.
After seeing the person coming, Yagen Toushirou paused, then walked over calmly, "Mr. Daikuri."
He turned his gaze and saw Qingxi's bruised knee, and roughly guessed what was going on between the two.
After confirming that the two parties knew each other, Kocho Kanae left.
Looking at the girl's figure, Qingxi couldn't help but shout at her back, "Sister Kanae, if you have nothing to do, you can go and rest. Don't forget that you still have to go out for patrol at night. Your daily routine is reversed, so don't squeeze your rest time. Be careful of swollen eyes and face."
In response to her, Kocho Kanae suddenly turned around and smiled.
However, when she saw Qingxi's eyes, she couldn't help but tremble.
She knows this elder sister very well. Although she always smiles at everyone, she is actually a dark person in private.
Dajurikara, who was holding Qingxi, could clearly feel the girl trembling in his arms, and he couldn't help but look at the back of Kanae Kocho.
"Mr. Daikuri, please take the general back to the house first. I'll go call Tsurumaru. We can talk later if you have anything to say." Yagen Toushirou said to the silent and talkative young man.
Daikurigara returned the same way carrying Qingxi. Before they could sit back down on the tatami, Taro, who had been left in the room, came up to them.
Yagen Toushirou, who went to call for help, came back quickly. When Tsurumaru Kuninaga saw the young man standing there in the house like a wooden stake, he screamed and rushed over.
"Oh, just now Yaoyan suddenly ran over to me and said that Xiao Jialuo, you are here. I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it was really you." Hooking the young man's neck, Tsurumaru Kuninaga pulled him to sit over at the round table.
Yagen Toushirou glanced at the "one-sided excitement of family members meeting each other" group over there, and squatted next to Qingxi with a medicine box, "General, let me treat the bruise on your knee."
"It's okay to just leave it alone. It will be fine in a few days." Qingxi said this, but she still stretched out her legs and let the other party deal with it.
"Yakuen, you just called him Daikuri, and Tsurumaru called him Kogara, so he is Daikurigara?" She asked softly to the black-haired boy who was rubbing his knees with his hands and lowered his head.
It was just that the other person's rubbing force was a bit too strong, causing her to gasp... This pain was really excruciating...
"Well, Tsurumaru and Mr. Daikutari once stayed at the Date family for a while, so Tsurumaru looked very excited after seeing Mr. Daikutari." Yagen Toushirou explained.
After he finished explaining, he also had a question for the girl, "General, can you tell me how Mr. Daikuri got here?"
Through the contract with Honmaru, he could be sure that the Great Kurikara in front of him was the Great Kurikara in the Honmaru between himself and Tsurumaru.
But seeing that he was alone and there was no one from the Time Government around him, he was a little unsure whether he came to this timeline to find himself and Tsurumaru under the arrangement of the Time Government or for some other reason.
"I just tried to summon the Sword Man, and then... I summoned him here." Qing Xiren was still not in the right state when he said this.
She thought that the summoning was to summon Yaken and Tsurumaru who lived in the same era as her. Moreover, because the summoning had failed again and again before, she was just doing a routine summoning today, but it ended up giving her a big shock.
Not to mention the fact that his summoning actually came true, what is more important now is that he can summon the swordsman from Honmaru to his side.
She asked hesitantly, "Well, if I summon him like this, can he go back on his own? Or can you and Tsurumaru contact the Time Government through him, and then he can take you back?"
If it was the latter, that would be fine, she would be happy for Yaken and Tsurumaru, but if it was the former, then she would have to raise another knife spirit.
She felt depressed when she thought of the other person's cold and aloof personality.
After that, I have to take him to the headquarters to report to Ubuyashiki Yoya.
Yagen Toushirou couldn't answer Kiyokuni's question, so when Daikurigara, who was being dragged by Tsurumaru Kuninaga to reminisce about the past next door, felt it was too noisy, he noticed two pairs of eyes falling on him.
He looked back and met two pairs of eyes.
The three of them looked at each other in silence. After a while, Yagen Toushirou coughed lightly and explained his and Kiyoki's behavior.
Pushing away the crane beside him, Daikurigara said, "As soon as we discovered you hadn't returned, we asked Kitsunesuke to contact the Time Government.
Soon, the Time Government sent people to investigate the historical node you visited, and ultimately concluded that you encountered a "time storm" on your way back.
Seeing that the two adults and one child all had small eyes and looked confused, Daijuligala continued to prepare to explain.
Suddenly, Qingxi, who was feeling a little thirsty, remembered that she had been sitting here listening without any tea or snacks prepared. After all, she was from the same main camp as Tsurumaru and Yaken, so she summoned her gourmet backpack and started to choose.
Although summer has passed, the heat has not dissipated at all. When there is no breeze, the house is quite stuffy.
So when Daijuligara was stunned by her actions, Qingxi took out a lot of things.
Herbal tea, juice, fruit, soy sauce balls, and senbei.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Yagen Toushirou were used to it and helped themselves. Those who wanted herbal tea or juice poured themselves, and those who wanted snacks just took them themselves.
Daikurigara, who was given a glass of juice by Tsurumaru Kuninaga, remained silent. His golden eyes, similar to Tsurumaru Kuninaga's, looked at Qingxi with complicated eyes, who didn't know what he had revealed.
"Have you heard of the butterfly effect?" he asked in a complicated tone.
"A butterfly from South America flaps its wings, and two weeks later it will cause a tornado in Texas, USA." Qingxi drank a glass of juice and then a cup of herbal tea.
Maha Kuligara: ...even more certain.
"The principle behind the 'Time Storm' is very similar to the butterfly effect. Things caught in the storm are carried into a certain timeline, just like Tsurumaru and Yaken," he said. "Unless something unexpected happens, this phenomenon wouldn't occur in history, but it's not a sure thing. It's just that the chances of encountering it are very small."
This phenomenon is generally not naturally occurring, but man-made.”
After he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Qingxi.
The other party almost hit Qingxi in the face with the words "You are the butterfly that created the time storm". How could she not understand?
Thinking of the true appearance of Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Yagen Toushirou brought back by Jiro, Qingxi was surprised and a little guilty.
In the end, was it because of me that the two of them lost contact with Honmaru?
Qingxi understood it clearly, and she also understood the "time storm". It should have been created by Atong when he took her through time.
"Sorry." She lowered her head and said to the three people.
"It's okay." Yaogen Toushirou rubbed the girl's drooping head and said, "General, you didn't mean it."
"Mr. Daikurigara, can you take Tsurumaru and Yaken back home?" Even though Qingxi was comforted, she was still in a bad mood. She looked at Daikurigara and asked.
He took out the portable time-turner that he used to return to Honmaru from his arms, “I was summoned here on my way to various timelines to find you, and I only have a time-turner with me.
I've already determined your timeline. I'll contact the Time Government after I return and come back..."
