Chapter 147 A Look in the Eyes Confirms It~
"Now that everything has been resolved satisfactorily, it's time for Bu Yue and me to leave."
Yu Bai slowly looked around, deeply imprinting the picturesque scenery of Sanyu Mountain in his eyes.
He thought that he and Bu Yue wouldn't be coming back anytime soon.
"By the way, Mr. Natori, and Natsume, let's exchange phone numbers. It's summer vacation now, so Natsume can ask me to hang out later," Yu Bai suggested with a smile.
As he was about to leave, Yu Bai exchanged phone numbers with Natsume Takashi and Natori Shuichi, and he also warmly invited Natsume to get together again next time.
After all, Yu Bai truly loved this gentle and kind young man.
Because of his ability to see spirits, Takashi Natsume is usually quite lonely at school. Few people are willing to be his friends, let alone take the initiative to come and play with him.
Therefore, Natsume Takashi was actually quite happy to receive Yu Bai's sincere invitation.
Meanwhile, Natori Shuichi was looking at the newly added contacts on his phone screen, feeling a sense of unreality.
I never imagined that one day a deity would appear in my phone's contact list.
Later, after overhearing Yu Bai and Natsume Takashi's conversation, I learned that Yu Bai was actually a middle school student among humans.
Are gods nowadays so humanized?
Not only do they go to school like humans, but they are also so adept at using modern technological products such as mobile phones and computers.
That's really amazing.
"No, Shinano, let's go then," Yu Bai said softly.
He turned and waved goodbye to the little demons of Misumi Mountain. With their tearful eyes watching him go, Yu Bai, along with Bu Yue and Shinano, used their divine power to soar into the air.
This time, he planned to fly back with Bu Yue. He never wanted to hear about having to transfer and take the long way again!
……
"Fuzuki, this is my Honmaru. Let me show you around."
Back at the citadel, Yu Bai happily led Bu Yue to the courtyard, where the little swords were busy bathing Gokotai's tiger cubs.
Seeing that the Saniwa had returned, Ran Toushirou, who was vigorously scrubbing the tiger, came happily to Yu Bai with his head full of white foam.
"My lord, my lord, you're back! We're giving the little tigers a bath. Oh, who's this?"
The orange-haired "girl" wearing a short skirt smiled brightly at Yu Bai, and then Ran Toushirou curiously looked at Fuyuki, who had been standing silently beside Yu Bai.
Ran Toushirou's question successfully attracted the attention of the other short swords.
They quickly put down what they were doing and used several large towels to carefully wipe the wet tiger cubs from head to toe.
After making sure there were no visible water droplets on the tiger cubs, they wiped their hands clean and gathered around Yu Bai.
They blinked at Bu Yue, their eyes wide. Although they didn't know the identity of the person their lord had brought back, they could clearly sense the divine aura emanating from Bu Yue.
Instantly, an ominous premonition surged into their hearts. The few short swordsmen exchanged glances. The last time they had this premonition was when their lord brought that golden angel back.
Sure enough, they then heard what their lord said.
"This is the God of the Unmoonless Earth, my dear friend. He will be living in the citadel from now on, so you should get along well with him."
Upon hearing that the deity before them was also their lord's close friend, the alarm bells in the hearts of the short swordsmen were instantly rung.
Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert!
I recognized him instantly; he's yet another one trying to steal their lord!
"Hello, Lady Tsukijin, I am Yagen Toushirou, the general's short sword. These are my brothers."
Yagen Toushirou adjusted his glasses and was the first to step forward, greeting Fuyuki with a smile. Then he introduced the short swords around him to the black-haired deity one by one.
Although their interaction seemed very ordinary, only when Yu Bai couldn't see him was Fuzuki staring at Yagen Toushirou, who was much shorter than him, with a scrutinizing gaze.
Yagen Toushirou remained completely unfazed by Futsuki's gaze. His face maintained a standard smile, but his purple eyes behind his glasses met Futsuki's gaze without flinching.
"Uh... I see you're giving the tiger cubs a bath. You can continue, continue. I'll take Buyue to see other places."
Although he didn't see the two make eye contact, Yu Bai still keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere in the air.
Afterwards, Yu Bai dragged Bu Yue around the entire citadel, getting a general idea of everything from short swords to spears.
Next, Yu Bai used his spiritual power to modify the layout of his castle tower.
While expanding the castle tower, he also added several new rooms next to his own room, one of which was specially prepared for Futsuki.
Without hesitation, Bu Yue chose to stay in the room right next to Yu Bai's right.
……
夜晚
The lights were on in the Awataguchi room of the citadel, where a small meeting was being held quietly.
The young swords sat neatly in a row in the center of the room, while Ichigo Hitofuri, the head of the Awataguchi family, and Narukuni watched the scene with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection.
Ran Toushirou, dressed in an adorable nightgown, stood before the short swords, his face now adorned with Yagen Toushirou's glasses, which he had somehow acquired.
He tapped the small blackboard placed in front of everyone and coughed a few times to clear his throat.
"Ahem~ Today we're going to discuss a very important issue! This matter concerns the future of our Awataguchi!"
The short swordsmen responded in unison: "Oh!!!"
Ran Toushirou nodded and continued, "Today, the Lord brought back the Moon Goddess, who is another close friend whom the Lord has recognized. Everyone should remember what that golden-haired Heroic Spirit looked like when he came to the citadel last time, right?"
"I remember, that Gilgamesh was so arrogant. He always thought we weren't good enough for our lord," Goko said, hugging the little tiger with a hint of grievance.
Hirano Toshiro then recalled the history he had read: "That Gilgamesh, I have read the epic description of him, he called his general 'close friend' and 'Enkidu'."
This should be the first time the Admiral traveled back to the Uruk era, when he became Enkidu and participated in history.
Yagen Toushirou instinctively pushed up his glasses, forgetting that the glasses on his face were already on Ran Toushirou's face.
The finger that was pushing up his glasses paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew its hand as if nothing had happened. Yagen Toushirou continued, "According to the description in the Epic of Gilgamesh, it's no wonder that Heroic Spirit was like that. After all, before meeting Enkidu, Gilgamesh was a well-known tyrant. But... let's not discuss the King of Heroes for now."
At this point, Yagen Toushirou changed the subject and looked at Shinano Toushirou sitting to the side: "Shinano, these past few days you've been by the general's side, do you know what the origin of that Fugetsu-gami is?"
……
Yu Bai: This is Bu Yue, my best friend. You two should get along well!
Bu Yue: Stare~~ (Cat staring)
Short swordsmen: I've seen the look in their eyes—we've encountered someone trying to steal our lord! Attention everyone! Level One Alert! Level One Alert!!
