"By the way, I haven't seen Miss Danzo since this morning. Has she gone to Tajima Mori-sama?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said and glanced in the direction of Fuma Kotaro.
The relationship between Fuma Kotaro and Kato Danzo is obviously not simple, but it is definitely not a superficial relationship.
Fujimaru Ritsuka could probably tell it from Fuma Kotaro's eyes.
Although I don’t know how Fujimaru Ritsuka could see Kotaro Fuma’s eyes since his eyes were always covered by bangs.
"It should be... Lord, you better not look at me."
Fuma Kotaro was a little embarrassed and quickly waved his hand.
"Oh, it looks like you guys are having a great time chatting."
Just when Kotaro was about to explain further, a voice that sounded a little excited sounded.
Princess Kiyohime's figure appeared in front of the door, staring at Fujimaru Ritsuka with gleaming eyes.
"Let me join you in chatting—Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka!"
Zuo Cun subconsciously closed his eyes - the sound disturbed his eyes.
Musashi was snickering.
"Princess - you are too close, princess! Stay away from them!"
The guard brother I had seen that day was crying without tears, trying to stop Kiyohime who almost jumped directly on Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Ah, you are still alive."
Miyamoto Musashi said subconsciously.
"Yes, he is still alive...so princess, come here quickly!"
The guard brother wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare to stop it, looking extremely conflicted.
"Hmph - I don't care about you!"
Saying that, Princess Kiyohime wanted to pounce on Fujimaru Ritsuka willfully.
But fortunately, a reassuring voice sounded at this time.
"Your Highness, if you are too willful, you will cause trouble to the retainers."
Yagyu Taimamoru's figure appeared behind Kiyohime and said calmly.
Qingji finally stopped, with an expression of distress and helplessness on her face.
"...It's true, but Lord Ma Shou is really strict."
"...Forget it, as a woman, you really need to be dignified and virtuous."
She regained her composure and smiled lightly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Perhaps--Fujimaru-dono would also like this style?"
But Ma Shou coughed twice again.
Qingji sighed, took two steps back, and straightened her clothes.
"Then, let me introduce myself once again and greet you again, Fujimaru Ritsuka-sama."
"I am Kiyohime, the daughter of Matsudaira's chief warden."
"The few here are your guards, right... Oh? If you look carefully, there seems to be an extra one."
Kiyohime's somewhat puzzled eyes lingered on Fuma Kotaro for a moment.
"But I don't seem to have seen those two children this time. Although you can't tell, actually... I like children very much."
Kiyohime had been making secret glances at Fujimaru Ritsuka since she entered the room, and now her thoughts were written all over her face.
Fujimaru Ritsuka is a little... at a loss?
But when Qingji delivered the spinach, she was actually observing Qingji carefully.
They are exactly the same...except for the clothes they wear, which can be easily changed, and other places are basically the same...
But you still have to say hello properly.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Highness the Princess."
Standing up, Fujimaru Ritsuka bowed to Kiyohime.
"Yeah! I haven't seen you for a few days. One day is like three autumns."
The expression on Qingji's face became anxious again.
The most surprising thing is Kotaro, he is exactly the same as Kiyohime of Chaldea, there is no difference at all.
The problem is - it doesn’t matter that you look the same, what the hell is your name?
But...this is definitely not a Servant.
Fuma Kotaro can feel that both Kotama and Kiyohime are living human beings in this era.
But from this perspective...
In the history of their world, there was no doubt that Kiyohime was a monster, but here, Kiyohime was actually a human being, and the daughter of Matsudaira Shimomoru who didn't even exist in their world...
This is a questionable existence.
It's not that Qing Ji is worthy of doubt, but - this world is worthy of doubt.
As Zuocun said before, it is very likely that this is not a singularity, but if it is not a singularity, where should this be?
There are many differences from the original world, but there are also many similarities. Harmony and disharmony coexist in this world... It feels very strange to people.
very strange.
This kind of strangeness is visible to the naked eye. Whether it is Miyamoto Musashi who came to this world accidentally, Samura who summoned himself, Fujimaru Ritsuka whose soul traveled through time, or Fuma Kotaro who followed Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Feel it very clearly.
"What are you thinking about, Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka? Sure enough, everyone should have their own little secret. Can you tell me what you are thinking about now? In exchange, I can tell you one of my secrets."
Kiyohime still moved closer to Fujimaru Ritsuka and spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka implicitly.
"Uh, um, I'm thinking about...things related to this world?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka really didn’t lie.
"Then my secret is that I can talk to snakes? I once told my maids about this, but they didn't believe me."
Qing Ji looked a little unhappy.
"Can you talk to snakes?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned.
This kind of detail... No, can this be considered a detail?
That Qing Ji from Chaldea doesn't know how to talk to animals, not even snakes.
But it’s almost completely consistent with the fact that I have a close affinity with snakes...!
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Miyamoto Musashi was a little confused and looked at Fuma Kotaro, who was a little surprised, even a little frightened.
The feeling of weirdness deepens...
"Um?"
Qing Ji also looked a little strange.
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru glanced at the sun in the sky.
"Your Highness, time is running out."
He reminded Qing Ji, who was a bit crazy.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Tajima Mamoru-sama... Then, you all have worked so hard to come all the way, and I heard that you have made great achievements in the battle against weirdos——"
Kiyohime's expression and words suddenly became official after Tajima Mamoru's reminder.
So fast!
Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were stunned.
"Please allow me to say to you on behalf of my father, Mr. Matsudaira, thank you for your hard work."
"You will be given rewards. Please collect them from the maid later."
"At the same time, as a woman living in Xiazong, I also sincerely express to you——"
