Ever since——
With this idea in mind, the three of them tidied their clothes and followed Kiyono Hachiro on the journey to pay homage to the Shogun.
only……
As he walked, Ian suddenly realized that something was wrong.
How...are we going to the nearby mountains?
"Okita..."
"Well, I noticed it."
Okita Souji looked around vigilantly.
"It seems like we're going to a very strange place..."
"Sai San, be careful."
"Okay, you too."
After quietly informing Kondo Isami, the three of them remained extremely vigilant and continued to move forward.
only--
When they finally reached the top of the mountain, they were all stunned.
because……
The "General" who came to meet them was dressed like a shrine maiden.
"The beasts of Mibu Village—"
"You finally came to me—"
879. Minamoto no Yorimitsu and the Changes of the Minamoto Clan/The Disappearance of the Fujiwara Clan (4k)
"..."
The general's identity completely confused the three people who came here.
No one had ever thought that the general mentioned by Seino Hachiro would be a shrine maiden.
"Did I see it wrong...?"
Kondo Isami was the first to grumble.
"General...how could he be a shrine maiden?"
"That's a bit rash of you to say that."
The general in front of him covered his lips slightly, and actually looked somewhat charming.
"No one ever said that a general couldn't be a miko, right?"
"..."
"I heard it all." Kondo Isami turned his head away, looking a little embarrassed.
However, the general in front of her obviously didn't care about these things. She quickly said:
"Come in first and talk—"
"It's not a proper thing to stand at this door."
Ever since——
Led by the general, Ian and his group of four came to the depths of the mountain shrine.
The environment here is quite quiet. If you close your eyes, you can even hear the spring water flowing through the mountains and the birds singing in the air.
"The environment here is really nice..."
Okita Souji felt all of this and couldn't help but sigh.
As the eldest daughter of the Okita family, the beauty she has felt since childhood is similar to the scene at this moment.
"That's natural."
The general's proud voice came, and it could be heard that she was quite happy about being praised for her "residence".
"These are all places I carefully selected. It would be a shame if I couldn't let you experience the beauty of nature right away."
"..."
"But General, you can't just let us admire the mountains and flowing water, right?"
Kondo Isami spoke again.
"If that's the case, I feel..."
The girl hesitated to speak, but everyone understood what she meant.
If you are bored, just call someone over. What's the difference between that and being a psychopath?
The general himself was of course no exception.
She quickly responded to Kondo Isami's question:
"Don't call me General for now. I have my own name too."
"Fujiwara Yuuka——"
"Call me that."
"..."
[This is the first time you have learned the General's first and last name.]
[And contrary to what you might imagine, she doesn't seem to mind making this information public.]
【only--】
[After hearing the name, Okita Souji actually reacted.]
"Fujiwara Yuuka...?"
Okita Souji muttered the name, seeming to feel great surprise.
"what happened?"
Ian looked at his friend in confusion.
This was the first time he saw Okita Souji become like this because of a name.
"This... this is the surname used by a previous Empress Dowager, right?!"
"oh……?"
Fujiwara Yuuka also looked a little surprised.
"I didn't expect that anyone would remember this incident. I'm really surprised."
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone naturally knew that what Okita Souji said hit the nail on the head.
Kondo Isami mustered up the courage to ask further questions.
"Ms. Fujiwara!"
"So what exactly is going on? Can you tell me in more detail? About the Queen Mother, and why you called us here?"
"..."
Fujiwara Yuuka was not angry at Kondo Isami's reckless remarks. She quickly nodded and then explained further.
"Just as the young lady said—By the way, what's your name?"
"Okita Souji." The girl responded.
"Just as Okita said," Fujiwara no Yuuka stated, then continued, "My ancestor is indeed Fujiwara no Tokuko, the mother of the 76th Emperor Konoe."
"My surname, 'Fujiwara', is derived from her honorific title."
"That means, the General... was originally the same as the Emperor..."
Kondo Isami was about to say this when Ian covered his mouth.
Then, the girl heard his "warning".
"Don't say some things casually."
"..."
Kondo Isami suddenly realized that he almost said something he shouldn't have said.
If we go by the information that Fujiwara Yuuka just reported, it actually means that in a sense, she has a bloodline that is comparable to that of the Emperor.
If we extrapolate further...
Doesn't this mean that she also has the possibility of inheriting the throne?
If you say something like this, who knows what the consequences will be!
but……
Ian's vigilance was actually relieved by Fujiwara Yuuka.
She just smiled and said:
"Don't worry, there are no ambushes nearby, and all the guards have been banished to a place where they can't hear the conversation."
"If you want to say something, just say it - just think of it as a topic of conversation after dinner."
"correct."
Fujiwara Yuuka fell on Ian.
"Your name is—"
"Hijikata Toshizo." Ian reported truthfully.
"Um……"
"In that case—"
Fujiwara Yuuka's gaze fell on Kondo Isami.
"You must be Kondo Isami from 'Bear, Wolf, and Eagle', right?"
"..."
"You actually knew that."
"Of course." Fujiwara Yuuka opened her fan suddenly, looking very proud.
"I, but I already knew about your affairs a long time ago."
"Right, Kiyono-kun."
"Eh?!"
The sudden familiar address made the three of them confused.
This is the General—
Why would you use such a name for Kiyono Hachiro?
“If we can see it earlier, the effect will be better.”
Kiyono Hachiro's tone was still fanatical, and it was obvious that he had absolute respect for Fujiwara Yuuka.
"This requires more time to investigate—"
Fujiwara Yuuka was indifferent.
"Now, isn't it just right—"
"First-rate demon exorcist and swordsmanship, perfect!"
"..."
You always feel that Fujiwara Yuuka and Seino Hachiro have "reached" a secret that cannot be revealed.
【This is what you need to figure out on this trip. 】
