After the incident with Shigeru Yu's faithfulness,

It had been more than ten days.

It was another quiet afternoon.

Junka Hoshino sat in the ox cart.

She slowly watched the scenery by the side of the road pass by. She turned to Komusubi and said, "Are we going back the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"That's a pity." Junka sighed. "I haven't seen Qing Ming Gong yet."

She had come to visit Tu Yumen many times.

However, she had never seen Haruaki Abe.

Occasionally, when she heard that Qing Ming was at home today, she excitedly prepared gifts and came to visit.

However, the Shikigami by the bridge and in front of the house told her that Qing Ming Gong was in reverse today.

She could not receive guests.

Over time, she also knew that Haruaki Abe did not want to see her.

Komusubi smiled slightly and gently placed his chin on Junka's head, like a large canine acting coquettishly to its owner.

"Master, do you look forward to Qing Ming Gong?" he asked.

"It's not that I look forward to it. I just have an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy." Junka reached out and carefully stroked his smooth and soft long hair.

(Such good hair.

I should have bought a better quality comb for Kohimaru Hall.)

Perhaps he had sensed her thoughts, Komusubi chuckled softly.

Junka put down her hand.

She changed the topic. "… Speaking of which,

I always feel that Ping'an capital is very familiar, as if I've been here before. "

"Oh?

What about Prince Asakura? "

"He's not." Junka looked at him strangely. "What's wrong?"

"Master's attitude towards him is like an old friend who has known him for many years." Komusubi looked at her gently.

He said, "We are very pleased that master has a friend of the same year, but …"

They would also feel puzzled and uneasy about this.

Especially Tsuru Maru, this crane had been jumping up and down since a few days ago. It was not just hanging from the beam that gave them a fright.

It was when he covered half his face in the middle of the night and stuck his tongue out at him by the pillow. It made him and Sanchū want to send him back to the This Pill immediately.

However, Junka was still tolerant of Tsuru Maru's pranks. Even if she was frightened by him, she would only sulk for a while. Then, under Tsuru Maru's continuous apology and comfort … she would choose to forgive him.

"'We'?

Sorry, I thought it was only Tsuru Maru. "

Junka sighed and looked outside through the curtain. "Tsuru Maru doesn't seem to be in a good mood. I think it's because he hasn't been in contact with the world for a long time.

I'm actually quite happy that he's able to vent … That's why I don't pursue his various pranks. "

"Master is very perceptive." Komusubi paused. "But there's something wrong."

Junka made a sound of surprise and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"We don't feel uneasy because we've been away from the world for a long time. We feel uneasy because we might lose our master." Junka was stunned and tried to explain, but Komusubi's gaze stopped her.

"You're a human after all. Will you really not get tired of living like this with us day after day, as if you're being hidden by the gods?"

Komusubi lifted the curtain and saw a lively crowd.

"After getting to know the lively world again and making new friends, will you be able to endure the boring life with us, the Fu Mourning God? This is what I, Tsurumaru Hall, and Sanchū are worried about."

Junka pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere in the car gradually turned from warm to cold.

"Let's talk about it later. I'll tell you the answer with practical actions."

She ended the topic forcefully.

This incident was just an interlude.

The next morning, Junka Hoshino gave orders as usual. "Today, Sanri Yue Temple and Kohimaru Hall will go out to investigate. Tsuru Maru will go find Ye Wang on my behalf. He'll tell you what to do."

Sanchū pressed Tsuru Maru's shoulder.

"Then, what about Master?" he asked.

"I'll be fine. Ataka is still here."

Ataka/Bank of China was the sword that Haruaki Abe used as a gift to return Little Wumaru.

"His Highness Ataka should be in a state of serious injury." Komusubi politely doubted Ataka's usefulness.

Junka calmly replied, "Ye Wang helped me find a suitable place to repair my sword."

After saying this, she put down the cutlery and left.

"She's running away," Tsurumaru commented as he looked at her back.

Junka Hoshino did run away.

Ye Wang and a suitable place to repair my sword were all fake — according to the degree of damage caused by Ataka/Bank of China, only the old way would work.

What old way?

Stab yourself, repair with blood, and nourish with Wakan.

Since last night, Junka had been preparing for today's work. She finally finished her work late at night. She was about to go to bed when she thought of what Komusubi said to her during the day.

We are not uneasy because we have been away from the world for a long time, but because we will lose our master.

Thinking of this, she couldn't fall asleep.

So she was in a daze all night. When she woke up, it was already dawn.

She had no choice but to hurriedly cast a simple spell on herself after washing up to cover up her haggard appearance. Then she hurried to have breakfast with the Fu Mourning God.

But she knew that this spell was too crude and would be discovered by Sanchū and the others if she wasn't careful. So she hurried back to her room after giving the order.

(It's too embarrassing.)

Junka leaned against the door and breathed out nervously. Then she carefully set up the enchantment to ensure that the swords couldn't break in, and couldn't hear or see everything that happened in the room.

Then she picked up Ataka/Bank of China.

When she was making This Pill, Aizen and Firefly had introduced Ataka to her.

They said that Ataka/Bank of China was a very lazy sword for some reason: it would never stand if it could sit, never sit if it could lie down, never look for trouble if it had nothing to do, and always try to avoid trouble if it had something to do.

Junka heard this and broke out in a cold sweat.

But if the Bank of China comes, Ying and I will definitely reform it.

Aizen Kunitoshi clenched his fist and said confidently.

Firefly nodded seriously.

"Sigh, I hope you can be more powerful, Your Highness Ataka."

Junka first used her spiritual power to protect the fragile part of the vibrating sword that was about to break. Then she pointed the tip of the sword at herself, inch by inch, she slowly stabbed Ataka/Bank of China into her body.

She didn't notice that the blade of Ataka/Bank of China trembled slightly.

In Prince Asakura's bedroom, Tsurumaru Kuninaga seemed to feel something and looked back.

'Master … is injured?'

Prince Asakura's movement of placing a piece paused.

"Tsurumaru Hall, there are some things that are better left unknown." He sighed softly.

Tsuru Maru turned his head and his face darkened slightly. "Lord Ye Wang, I want to know, what conditions did you and Master exchange?"

"Interesting... Even the agile crane that she spoke of would show such an expression?" The Makura Leaf King's smile flashed across his face for a brief moment.

He raised his hand and placed a piece. He said casually, "I helped her change history, and she helped me change history. That's all."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga immediately wanted to leave.

"I advise you not to go and find her."

Prince Asakura placed another piece.

Two huge shadows appeared in front of Tsuru Maru, tightly blocking his way forward.

"To be honest, I'm also very curious about your relationship with her." His tone was full of interest. "Master and servant?

Or family?

Or friends?

Tsurumaru Kuninaga, have you ever considered this question? "

Tsuru Maru's back was facing him and he remained motionless.

Prince Asakura chuckled softly and messed up the chessboard.

"Look forward to it.

What I'm chasing, what she's hoping for, and what you're wondering about, will all come to a conclusion a thousand years later. "

End of the Peace chapter.

The author has something to say: I'm going to edit the Peace chapter for a bit.

Let me explain the timeline of the Peace chapter. The Peace chapter is a continuation of the Memories chapter, which happened a year after Junmei signed the contract with the government.

As for what happened to Ataka after that, please refer to Chapter 13.

There are fewer chapters today, but I'll make them up for free in the next chapter.

Why are there fewer chapters?

Because the author, who's been idling for the past few days, is preparing to work hard!!!

Oh right, I promised everyone in the group today that I'll write six chapters!

I'll work hard to write two chapters!

Everyone, please help me out!

Preview of the next chapter:

Owamaru: Long time no see.

Prince Asakura: Interesting.

Lihai University Tennis Club: H-there's a ghost!
