As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

A small fish made of water elements in the room slowly swam in front of her face.

poke~

And he poked the tip of her nose with his cute little mouth. When the petite body touched the tip of her nose, it bounced back a little distance, like a balloon floating in the air.

"call……"

She closed her eyes, frowned slightly and then relaxed calmly, with no other reaction at all.

ding ding~

The peaceful atmosphere in the next second was broken by several crisp ringtones. It was a mechanical alarm clock in the shape of a jellyfish placed on her bedside, shaking its body like a mother who wanted to wake her up.

"Um...Goro...turn off the alarm clock."

Xinhai, who didn't want to get up at all, silently wrapped himself in the quilt again and huddled into the bed. He was a little confused and murmured in a hoarse voice that he had just gotten up from.

ding ding~

However, this move only existed in her fantasy. No one came to turn off the alarm clock, let alone Goro, who seemed to be getting more and more excited.

"Goro...turn off the alarm clock."

She called out again drowsily through the quilt, as if she was still sleepwalking.

ding ding~

"five……!!"

She couldn't bear it anymore, opened the bed, and slowly stood up. Then she looked at her bedroom in confusion, and then at the alarm clock that was still ringing, and ruthlessly pressed it without saying a word.

Click!

——The world is clean.

"...Five what kind of man...really."

She complained to herself. She felt like she had fallen asleep. The last memory she had was when she was lying on the table last night. Why did she wake up from bed in the morning?Her mind was a little confused at the moment. There was no one in the room except her, so she could only go to bed when she was in a daze.

The evidence is that she hasn't even changed her clothes now. She is still in the same white and purple jellyfish-like clothes. The ribbon furisode behind her is also lying limply on the surface of the bed. Because she just woke up, her shoulders are The skirt of the upper part of the clothes was still a little exposed and fell down a little, revealing the white and tender skin of the chest, as well as a ray of spring light.

But fortunately, the socks were taken off, and the pair of white stockings with lavender color at the top were thrown by her casually beside the bed without folding them.

"Phew...my head hurts so much. I really slept like a mess."

Perhaps due to the influence of staying up late, my head hurt when I woke up in the morning. Her delicate face showed a look of self-blame. Then she laughed at herself in a low voice and put it back on her feet. The white stockings with lavender gradient were now on. It perfectly outlines her slender legs. She holds her knees with both hands. The white silk legs underneath are gently bent and folded back and forth. She is fully awake and turns her head to look at the set given by someone... At this moment, she is hanging The purple raincoat beside the wall and the umbrella standing in the corner made me stunned for a while.

"call…"

Sighing slightly again, she got out of bed and walked to the window and opened it to the left and right, revealing all the blocked golden light. The morning sun shone on her face and she couldn't help but raise her hands to cover it. She opened the window to let in fresh air. In the bedroom.

After a few minutes--

After saying hello to the witches, she finally walked out of the Coral Palace and came to the vestibule, holding the seaweed hair ornament in her small mouth.

"Lord Coral Palace!"×N

However, when she just walked out of the door, she heard several male voices calling her. The voices were all very familiar. They were her team leaders.

"You guys...it's so early."

She paused and glanced at the people standing in front of her, then moved her gaze away and walked to the edge of the pool to use the reflection of the water to tie a hair tie on herself, and replied casually in the process.

"..."×N

But then there was no movement, no one replied, they just stood there quietly.

"...?"

She glanced back at them in confusion.

"You guys came here so early...do you have something going on?"

She asked, and by the way, she finished her hand movements. She stood up and smoothed her hair. Her beautiful pale pink hair was perfectly tied into a long ponytail like a bow.

Originally, tying her hair was supposed to be a job done for her by the miko. However, she was still used to styling her hair alone. She had also specifically told her before that she should forget about these little things. Now the purpose of her soldiers coming here...even if the other party doesn't Said she actually knew it.

"Uh..."×N

Everyone in front of them looked at each other. No one wanted to be the first one to ask a question, but there was always someone who wanted to ask——

"Lord Coral Palace!"

Okubo spoke first.

"What's the matter? Captain Okubo?"

She didn't show any surprise after seeing Okubo speak, because she had already expected that such a thing would happen to him.

"Ahem, we heard that you plan to let us rebels negotiate peace with the shogunate army?"

He cleared his throat and straightened his chest and asked.

Sure enough...you don't need to think about it to know that she is helpless, but——

"It's the Coral Palace Army."

She did not answer directly but corrected in a clear tone.

"Eh?"

The other party was taken aback.

"The war is over, and the resistance army no longer exists. Now you are the Coral Palace Army. Captain Okubo, please pay attention to your wording."

She silently crossed her chest to correct him.

"Okay, okay, Coral Palace Army."

The other party had no choice but to obey, and then felt a little unwilling in his heart, and it could be heard from his tone that the other party was not particularly willing.

"As for the peace talks, you are right. I really want to do that."

She didn't beat around the bush and admitted it straightforwardly. In the process, she walked up to a few people, across from the conference table where daily meetings were held, and silently held her arms.

"This..."×N

At that moment, everyone started whispering to each other, looking at each other back and forth with expressions of embarrassment on their faces. Just by looking at them, it was clear that they did not want to make peace.

"Lord Coral Palace, you must not do this!"

A general next to Okubo walked out of the team and asked her for advice.

"Yes! Sir, please think again!"

"Lord Coral Palace, I don't think it's appropriate either!"

Several people persuaded her.

"Lord Coral Palace, how many of our soldiers have sacrificed for this battle! This road is made of the corpses of brothers... We are about to get the result, but you said that you want to negotiate peace with the shogunate army. This Isn’t all your previous efforts in vain?”

"Yes! Sir! Do you think this approach is really worthy of the wounded and wounded soldiers?!"

"……call."

Seeing this scene, Xinhai felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort or sadness in her heart. She remembered what she had said with the general before.

"When the Resistance Army was formed, it was to fight against the Eye Hunting Order. But now that the Eye Hunting Order has been abolished, the Resistance Army has no meaning in existing, let alone fighting."

She explained to everyone in a clear and sharp tone.

"In my opinion, only negotiating peace with them is the most correct result. Because many people died in the war, now we have to stop the war and solve the problem peacefully. I think this is truly worthy of their sacrifices."

"!"×N

Everyone showed differences in their expressions, but even after she said this, they didn't dare to refute again, but the unwillingness deep in their hearts still kept pouring out, making them very uncomfortable.

At this moment, they have forgotten their original intention and have gradually become victims of the war and puppets of the war. Perhaps they did not want to simply stop resisting in the beginning, even if the Eye Hunting Order is no longer in force.

"Okay, if there's no problem, please step back."

Seeing their still unwilling state, Xinhai sighed helplessly, and then asked them to retreat.

"As ordered..."×N

Everyone answered and walked away one by one.

"call……"

She slowly sat on the stool, put her hands on the conference table, and buried her face in her arms to rest for a while.

"...Energy is getting less and less."

She felt that her body was getting weaker. She was not in good health to begin with, and due to the influence of long-term and high-intensity brain use, she felt weak every day. In addition, as a military advisor, she had to work hard on the war, so she often stayed up late, and even I can only sleep for a few hours during the day.

For a long time, she felt more and more that there was something wrong with her health, and she would even have nightmares while sleeping. Last night was a rare dreamless night, and it was also the night she slept more deeply in the past few days.

(Well...so tired.)

My backache is really... terrible. Is my body already broken?

Gudou Gudou~!

Tea was boiling in front of them, and the delicious fragrance of tea filled the entire hall of the castle tower and penetrated into their nostrils.

During this period... Ying, who was sitting on his knees opposite the desk correcting documents, stopped when he smelled the aroma of tea, and looked up at his daughter who was making tea for her.

"...?"

After feeling the gaze behind him, the general slowly turned his head and looked at her, with a puzzled look on his face.

"…nothing."

Ying seemed to see her expression and shook his head slightly.

"almost done."

Thinking he was in a hurry, he comforted him.

"Um…"

Yingya didn't refute, he nodded along with her intention, then lowered his eyes to look at the documents on the table, and continued to tilt his head and start writing.

click...

After turning off the fire, he picked up the brewed tea by the handle, put the tea set together on the tray, picked it up, and walked to Kage's side. He took a step behind his feet and knelt down next to him, quietly placing the tea tray. Put it on the table and skillfully place the tea sets in the corresponding positions.
