Outside Rigao's house.
When she heard the message on her phone, Tsukuyomi lowered her head and looked at the content of the message. She breathed a sigh of relief after waiting for a long time, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"It seems that this is my time to appear."
She whispered to herself, put away her phone, clasped her hair with both hands, and threw it neatly behind her. She straightened her back, stepped forward confidently and elegantly, and her white bell sleeves with simple creases were raised and swaying slightly. .
That was when Tsukuyomi raised his hand to ring the doorbell of Hidaka's house.
"Dingdong——"
The doorbell rang and fell, and soon a woman's voice came from the doorbell's intercom speaker.
"Excuse me, are you..."
There was obvious nervousness and hesitation in the woman's voice, but she lacked the necessary doubts when encountering strange visitors.
It seems that Tachibana Sejiro has sent his "letter of recommendation" to Hidaka Midori.
In other words, the other party already knows his identity, and now, he is just testing and confirming.
With this realization flashing through his mind, Tsukuyomi said directly without any politeness: "Historical Bureau, Tsukuyomi."
"..."
The other party was silent for a while.
Even if they are not face to face, Tsukuyomi can still imagine the expression on the other person's face at this time.
It must be very confusing and tangled.
Just imagine, a person with extremely dangerous power and from a mysterious organization that you have never heard of before suddenly comes to visit. However, your boss not only fails to give instructions to retreat and be vigilant, but instead asks you to open the door and open the door. He carefully welcomed him into the house and cooperated well... Tell me, who can he not panic about this matter?
Anyway, Hidaka Green is in a panic right now.
In this regard, Tsukuyomi expressed understanding.
But the next moment, she spoke without mercy, urging Hidaka Midori to open the door.
"Mrs. Hidaka, what's the current situation? I believe Mr. Tachibana Sejiro has already told you roughly. So, can you please open the door quickly? Orochi's awakening is imminent. Our time is precious, so don't do this again. Just waste it on meaningless hesitation, okay?”
Under Tsukuyomi's ruthless urging, Hidaka Midori finally slowly opened the door.
Although her movements were slow, she did choose to follow Tachibana Sejiro's instructions and welcome Tsukuyomi in.
…
living room.
Seeing that Hidaka Midori didn't recognize him, Tsukuyomi didn't rush to acknowledge her. Instead, he calmly took the tea offered by Hidaka Midori, took a sip, looked around, and returned his eyes to the one in front of him. Hidaka and green body.
"Necessary vigilance is proof of excellence, but you should hide it better...for example, hide those nervous hands that don't know where to put them better, instead of putting them where I can see them at a glance , Mrs. Hidaka."
She made critical comments from a professional perspective.
Hearing this, Hidaka's green hands immediately hid behind his back as if he was electrocuted, his cheeks turned red, and his whole body became very stiff.
To be honest, it's kind of cute.
But this was caused by himself.
Faced with such a scene, Tsukuyomi couldn't help but feel sad, thinking back to the time when her mind was pure and white, but now it was stained black.
As the saying goes, those who are close to ink are black.
No matter how you think about it, this is all the Demon King's fault, right?
It was probably Tokiwa Shogo who really led the way. Now, whether it is Gates or Tsukuyomi, when they do some "bad things" that are full of intrigues, they all choose to use Tokiwa Shogo to blame him. way to come to terms with your own heart.
Just like now...
[Alas, I also learned bad things... It's all Zhuangwu's fault. ]
Thinking like this, Tsukuyomi picked up the tea cup again and sipped the tea to cover up.
Although they were rushed before, in fact, their own family knew their own affairs, and although the situation was urgent, according to Tokiwa Shougo's plan, they actually had a lot of time to spare for their actions.
In other words, let alone waiting for ten or twenty minutes, even if she waits for half a day, she can afford to wait.
The previous urging was actually to put pressure on Hidaka Midori.
Looking at Hidaka Midori's current performance, it is obvious that her trick was very successful.
In this way, when it is reversed later, the effect will definitely be better...
With such thoughts flashing in his mind, Tsukuyomi put down the tea cup. In the process, the floor plan of Hidaka's house unfolded in the world of thought, contrasting with reality, and his eyes swept in the direction of a certain bedroom without leaving a trace.
"Click!"
That was the sound of the bottom of the tea cup colliding with the table.
"Da da da!"
At the same time, there was an illusory sound of the clock hands moving and stopping.
Time stops!
In the space enveloped by the state of cessation, Tsukuyomi loosened her fingers from holding the tea cup, stood up, and walked straight past the motionless Hidaka Midori as if there was no one else around, and walked straight in the direction of the bedroom she was looking at before.
He walked to the door, twisted the door lock, pushed the door... but didn't push it open.
It doesn't matter, with a little special trick, the door was successfully opened by Tsukuyomi.
Looking at the familiar little girl in the bedroom, Tsukuyomi's lips raised and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's really here..."
She walked up to the little girl, leaned down, raised her hand, and gently touched the top of the little girl's head.
"Did your mother ask you to hide? How pitiful."
Tsukuyomi looked at Hidaka Mizutori lovingly, continued to lean forward, leaned into the little girl's ear, and whispered softly.
"Mizutori-chan is already sensible enough, so it's okay to be a little naughty at this time... rather, that would be cuter."
She condensed her words into grains of sand of time, floating in the air.
“Do you remember Brother and Sister Christmas who gave you a deer at Christmas?
"If you remember...
"If you still want to meet Brother and Sister Christmas...
"Mizutori-chan, do your sister a favor, okay?
"Just do this..."
After saying that, Tsukuyomi smiled and kissed Hidaka Mizutori's ear, looked at the moon-white hourglass mark emerging behind her ear, and finally said.
"Please, Mizutori-chan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sands of time floating in the air automatically gathered and were put into the moon-white hourglass.
They will flow together as time resumes operation.
Tsukuyomi stood up, backed away, and left the little girl's room.
She slowly closed the door, but did not lock it again, leaving a small gap.
She returned to the living room, sat back on her seat, raised her hand, and held the tea cup on the table.
And the moment her fingers touched the tea cup...
"clatter!"
Time that had stopped inside the house resumed its flow.
Tsukuyomi released her hand from the tea cup with a natural expression, and looked at Hidaka Midori who was still standing after serving her tea. His eyes were slightly focused, and his eyes filled with pressure paused for a moment before he said "please" to her. gesture.
"sit."
Hidaka Midori: "..."
Isn't this my home?
