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

Xinhai stared at her, watching her pick up the fluff floating from the sky for herself.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"

"...(shaking his head), although I really want to, but...Haiji Island still has matters that I need to deal with, so..."

"...Since it's work, there's nothing we can do..."

She didn't expect that the other party would go back so soon, how long would she stay...

In this case...

She glanced at the source of the sound again, her eyes tangled for a moment, then sighed, gave up on that place, and walked back to the sea of ​​​​heart.

"Let's go back with you."

signal to it.

"Huh? Aren't you going there?"

Xinhai was stunned for a moment and said.

"I'm not going. We are under the supervision of the agency. I think nothing will happen here. If you want to leave, I will take you to the dock."

After taking a look at the forest, he shook his head and extended his hand to the girl.

The general has become a little more proactive... I wanted to say goodbye to the other party simply like this, and return to Kaiji Island to treat today's incident as a sideshow, but I didn't expect... the other party would rarely get close to me.

She was a little relieved to have such a general. Sure enough, the general loved her.

"…okay."

He showed a warm smile, raised his hand to hold the other person's palm, and left with the other person along the exit of the forest.

Chapter of Akitsu ~ Time passes easily, life is like dew: Chapter 32 Qianhe, work harder!

After returning the fan they found to the shrine maiden, both of them subconsciously ignored the other's usual middle-class and Riddler-like words, and went directly along the stone steps leading to the outside world from the guard forest to the foot of the mountain, and walked side by side to Ming Ming. On the beach in the north of God Island.

Huhu~

The sea breeze at night was colder than during the day, blowing their hair around. Although it was cold, it was quite comfortable when the wind touched their cheeks. The sound of the sea breeze mixed with the regular waves of the sea was like the unique sound played by nature. The mysterious tunes that belong to the night make people forget to leave.

"Cold?"

Feeling the coolness on her face, she remembered and looked at Xinhai, concerned.

"Somewhat...but it's okay."

Xinhai rubbed her left and right forearms with both hands.

"..."

hum~

Seeing this, she took out her old shawl and put it on the girl's body as before.

"thanks…"

Xinhai tightened her shawl, and a warm blush appeared on her quiet and pretty face.

"Is there any shortage of supplies on Haiji Island recently?"

she asked.

"Not yet, the supplies are quite sufficient. Thanks to everyone's efforts, and Master Kage's lifting of the national lockdown order, Haiji Island can conduct business with other countries. Both the economy and... resources are richer than before. Much more.”

Not only that, the entire Inazuma economy is now several times better than before. This is all thanks to everyone's efforts. Whether it is business, trade or tourism development, it has reached a higher level.

"Yes, that's good...if you have any difficulties, just write to me."

she ordered.

"Um…"

Xinhai nodded gently and responded obediently.

"By the way... I will send you some specialties tomorrow, remember to check them?"

Xinhai thought of something and reminded her with a smile.

"Understood, we can just let them get it to the castle tower when the time comes."

This kind of safe mutual trust brings together their mutual thoughts, and their hearts will miss each other even if they are far apart. It is very warm, and she likes this feeling very much.

Looking at the distant sea and the fluorescent beach at this moment, Xinhai couldn't help but stop.

"……?What's wrong?"

When the general saw this, he stopped and looked over.

"The beach...don't you think 'the beach' has a special meaning to both of us?"

Xinhai put his hands behind his back and slowly stood on tiptoes and turned to look at her.

"...Does it mean anything? Let me think about it...well - yes, it's fate."

After all, the two of them often went to the beach before that time, both in the beginning and now.

So to say…

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

Xinhai asked.

"You mean the time when Shanluo's army was repulsed? Yes, we were on the beach at that time. You were still commanding on the deck of the abandoned ship. I saw you at first sight. After all, you were so conspicuous and tall. So a sign.”

She smiled.

"..."

Xinhai was stunned for a moment, feeling ashamed, and then his expression returned to normal.

"Huh... It's a bit unbelievable when I think about it now. I thought you already hated me when you left."

My mind was a little lost in memories.

"You are wrong... At that time, instead of hating you, I became interested in you... I thought you were an interesting person, and I couldn't figure it out."

"Haha... I still keep the handkerchief you gave me back then, you see."

Xinhai took out the handkerchief she had at that time. This was the handkerchief she had used to wipe the blood on her neck, but the blood was gone because she had washed it.

"Huh... it's all over. Who would have thought that we, who had never dealt with each other at that time, would be as close as we are now or even have... another relationship?"

The general felt a little emotional at this moment.

"Well... it's all over. Haiji Island has returned to your hands, to Inazuma, and is protected by you. We Haiji people are your people, General. Thank you for this journey. I will never forget this kind of care for Haijijima in my heart... Huh..."

Xinhai's eyes were a little red at the moment, as if he wanted to cry, but he didn't cry, he just thanked her sincerely.

Perhaps Lord Orobas will be satisfied even in the heavenly spirit?

"What are you saying? Now Haiji Island is some distance away from Narukami Island. The management of the island is still taken over by you, the living goddess miko. If you really want to thank me, then promise me to pay more attention to my health and work. You have to take care of both your health and your health, promise me."

She plans to make the navy to which Xinhai belongs become an independent party from Sanfengxing, and of course it will also be under her command. This will make it more standardized and avoid some cumbersome matters.

"it is good…"

Xinhai nodded silently.

The two walked side by side again and soon saw the dock in the distance. A small ship was waiting there, with Goro's figure looming on the deck.

"Send it here, General."

Xinhai stopped and turned to look at her.

Glancing at the docked ships…

"Be careful on the way back..."

"Hmm... I heard that there will be three rounds in the courage test. I wish you a good time."

Xinhai also blessed her.

"That depends on the situation..."

She shrugged.

"...You have to be happy for Miss Kamisato~?"

Xinhai smiled at her.

"That's right. If she is happy, I will be happy too."

"Haha...that's good..."

Xinhai paused for a moment when he turned around, then looked at her again and walked up to her, raised his hand and touched her arm.

"what happened?"

She also put her hand on the back of the other person's hand and asked warmly.

"Sir General...if you have time, do you occasionally come to Kaiji Island as a guest? After that time, you haven't been here for a long time."

Xinhai put his head against her body and rubbed it gently.

"Well...if I go then, I'll write to you in advance."

He hugged the girl's waist, lowered his eyes and put his lips on the girl's head, comforting her like this.

"Okay...I'll wait for you, chirp~"

Xinhai slowly let go of her, took off the shawl and handed it to her. Then he came close to her face and kissed her lips like a dragonfly. Under the shy look of the general with a slightly red face, he held her in his arms. The inner happiness turned away.

The girl's back on the beach at night looked so lonely and thin...just like when she first saw her.

After they were far away, the girl said a few words to Goro who came out, and then walked to the deck together. Goro informed the master of the ship and started the passenger ship.

hum-

The sound of the ship spread across the sea and reached her ears along with the sea breeze.

Watching the ship carrying the other party go away little by little, her heart felt complicated.

"...!"

Standing on the deck, Xinhai turned around and looked at the beach where she was, waving to her gently in the sea breeze.

Seeing this, she raised her hand in response.
