Chapter 104 Fanwai
……
Late at night, the mountain behind Honmaru.
Yaoken, who is good at tracking and detection, easily caught up with Onikiri, who hadn't run very far.He stood in the middle of the woods and looked at the long-haired man with his back to him, seeing that he was just standing under the tree silently and desolately, Yao Yan spoke first again.
"Onikiri, what are you so anxious about?"
"It has something to do with you?"
"You've made the general sad, of course I can't sit idly by..."
It's just that before Yaken could finish his sentence, Onikiri flew a blade in Yaken's direction again. He just dodged it with a backflip, and saw that the white robe he was accustomed to wearing had been attacked by Onikiri. Torn.
Yakuken knelt on one knee on the tree trunk, looking down at Onikiri's dead eyes, the black-haired boy with gentle and calm personality raised his mouth slightly, and there was a flash of war in his eyes.
"...It seems that I really can't talk to you properly, Onikiri."
"I never intended to talk nicely to you."
Not to be outdone, Guiqie looked at Yaoyan with a contemptuous arc.
And Yaoken understood what Onikiri meant, so he jumped down from the tree trunk without saying a word, and then easily pulled out Onikiri's sword stuck in the tree trunk with his backhand, holding the sword with sharp eyes He rushed towards Onikiri coldly.
In a moment, the clash of swords and swords resounded in the forest!
The silver light shone, and the rustling sound of toes falling on the dead leaves could be heard endlessly in the forest.
The two men who had been displeased with each other for a long time finally let go of their hands and feet and gestured with the blade, using all their strength to defeat each other with each knife.
And Yaken looked at Onikiri with fierce and focused eyes in front of him, as if he didn't expect that the two of them would have such a serious day, after thinking about it, he just opened his mouth to tease him.
"Speaking of Onikiri...you broke her hammock on purpose the day she woke up, right?!"
"Otherwise? Could it be that you thought I was slipping? Just thinking about it now, my knife should be thrown directly at your forehead!"
After the two of them finished talking, the strength in their hands became a bit heavier.
"Ah, is it? Speaking of which, I also regret that I didn't give you a make-up knife the day you first came to Honmaru and passed out!"
"Heh, aren't you afraid of being called cruel by her? Good brother?"
Sword light and sword shadow, silver light flickering.
"Is a person who is about to kill her the first time he meets him qualified to speak?"
"I've been pretending to be good from beginning to end, aren't you tired?!"
Onikiri turned around and pulled out the second sword, turned around and slashed both blades in the direction of Yakuken——
"At least I'm working for her, but you seem to have been a worry from the beginning?"
"Then where did you go when she needed you the most? A coward who only appeared in the middle of the Domeki battle!"
Onikiri spoke harshly.
But Yaken's face changed slightly, and in the next second, he held a Taidao horizontally, blocking both of Onikiri's knives, and then he stared fiercely at Onikiri's again with his stern eyes, Although there was sweat on his forehead, the smile on the corner of his mouth was hearty——
"...Speaking of disappearing, then you have been avoiding seeing her since she woke up! What on earth are you afraid to admit?" Yao Yan raised his leg to force Onikiri to take back the two knives, then turned around again Kicked Onikiri to the ground, then sat on top of him, pointing the sword at his throat neatly.
"Tell you... I will not lose to a man who dare not even face her directly."
Under the moonlight, Yaoken's purple pupils were stern and cold, but the ghost who was told by Yaoken in the center gritted his teeth, and pushed Yaoken away from him without saying a word.
But Yaoken took a few steps back steadily, and then stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood stains on his cheeks caused by the fight with ghosts.
The black-haired boy looked up at the monster who had been awkward all the time. During the battle just now, the two people who were always secretly hostile to each other finally scolded all the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and Onikiri was condescending. Looking at the boy with black hair and purple pupils, he found that the irritability in his heart just now was gradually calmed down after venting it out once.
Only Yaoken's sentence remained in his mind - he will not lose to a man who dare not even face her directly.
His mind was filled with the girl's serious and sad expression just now.
He obviously knew that she didn't mean that, and she definitely didn't mean that.
But he still lost his temper at her because of his restlessness and uneasiness, which made her even more sad.
Indeed... What kind of man is he like this?
Onikiri gasped and glanced at his wound cut by Yakuken, without even reaching out to wipe it, he just silently controlled the blades back to his side, then turned and walked into the forest bearing the pain all over his body.
At the same time, leave a word on the medicine research.
"Don't follow me anymore, the person I want to see is not you, and I don't want to see you again for a second."
He spoke directly, and his figure was gradually hidden in the darkness. Instead, it was the black-haired boy who stayed where he was, and when he heard what Onikiri said, his expression was full of dumbfounding.
"Aren't you able to speak your heart out to others?"
……
...
By the time Yaoyan went down the mountain alone and found the sky was clear, it was already midnight.
Because of worry, the girl stayed up all night, but waited for the two of them to come back.And Yao Yan approached the room with lights on, saw the girl who was waiting, and greeted her with a smile: "Yo, general."
"Yaoyan! No, why did you have so many injuries..."
"It's nothing, I just had a little argument with Onikiri."
"Hey! It's not that you didn't bring your own dagger, isn't that..."
"No, Onikiri gave me his own sword, and we fought straight and square."
The boy smiled brightly and said, as if the wounds on his body were not wounds, but Tianqing naturally didn't think so. He was the one she liked, and she actually went to quarrel with others in the middle of the night to solve the problem for her , came back with a change of injury...
Tianqing's eyes were full of distress and sadness, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she took Yaoyan to sit down in her room, and then used her first aid kit to treat his wound.
"Sorry, if possible, I really want to sew this robe back for you..."
"It's all trivial, General."
Yaken caressed the gauze on his face, but the girl could only use her left hand to clean her wound and insisted on doing this, which really moved him.He stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's hand that was left on his body for inspection, and said to her with a smile, "There are really no other wounds, so you don't have to worry."
"but……"
"Or general, do you think I will definitely lose if I fight Onikiri?" Yaoken feigned a dissatisfied expression, he stared suspiciously at the girl with raised eyebrows, and then saw her face become anxious.
"Not at all!" She was about to die of anger from Yaoyan, and then lowered her head again, and put away the messy first-aid supplies on the table one by one: "I'm not worried about you, no matter how strong you are, I don't want to I saw you hurt..."
The girl was aggrieved and directly expressed her worries about Yaoken, but Yaoken looked down at her, noticing the girl's increasing care and concern for herself recently, and her heart gradually softened due to this.
He just stared at her so intently, wishing he could hold this cute girl in his hands and it hurts.
……
On the other side, outside the door.
"..."
Onikiri, who had just driven down the mountain, looked at the overly beautiful and harmonious atmosphere in the house with some silence.
The girl was shyly arguing with the black-haired boy, the timidity and curiosity in her eyes were something she didn't have for herself.
And at that very moment, Onikiri understood something.
...that is the fact that there may be no room for self-intervention between those two people.
His eyes gradually dimmed, and he felt that he could hardly bear to look at the scene in front of him, and was about to turn around and leave, but the words Yao Yan said to him just now, "I will not lose to a man who dare not even face her directly" Suddenly, it was like a spell that tightly bound him, making it impossible for him to move away from her courtyard for half a step.
Yes, he never talked to her about his affairs and ideas.
Onikiri lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and turned back along the way, then opened Tianqing's door without saying a word, and then looked straight at the girl who was obviously surprised by his return.
"I want to have a few words with you alone." Onikiri looked down at Tianqing, with a calm attitude and emotion.
"Yeah, yes." Tianqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked to Onikiri's side with a smile, and then the two of them stepped out of the courtyard like this, while Yaoken watched them leave without saying anything. The meaning of trouble.
... The night is quiet.
Onikiri led the way and walked in circles until he brought Tianqing to a pool where he had confirmed that there was no one there. He was dressed in white and was gently tugged by the night wind before turning his face to face Tianqing. eyes.
He wanted to speak, but Tianqing preempted him.
"I'm sorry Onikiri, I said something like that just now!" The girl apologized honestly, her amber eyes filled with guilt: "I just don't want you to be stressed, you should understand..."
"Well, I understand." Onikiri lowered his eyes slightly, his slender eyelashes cast two faint shadows on his cheekbones.
He understood everything, but he was unwilling to admit it and pretended not to understand.So now, after having a fight with that boy, he should learn to be honest.
Thinking of this, Onikiri opened his mouth a little more gently, and the thing he had been hesitating in his heart finally came to an answer: "I decided to leave here with Ibaraki to find a way to restore Shuten's memory, maybe... it will take a lot of time. long time."
And Tianqing widened her eyes, looking at Onikiri's gentle and calm appearance under the moonlight, as if he was going to disappear in the wind in a second - thinking of this, she walked towards him without a trace He took a step closer, then grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked him: "... Onikiri, aren't you saying goodbye?"
The girl's tone was a little anxious, even hurt.
But for some reason, her loss fell into Onikiri's eyes, and it turned out to be a comfort.
Yes, if his departure will cause someone's heartache and sorrow, it turns out that the feeling is both sad and moving.
Onikiri closed his eyes: "No, I will also look for a way to restore your right hand along the way, this is not a farewell."
"Onikiri, isn't it as good as it should be? You just stay here..." Tianqing said with some fear, but she stopped in the middle of the sentence. That's right, Onikiri is not her shikigami, she What qualifications do you have to keep him?Speaking of which, the beginning of this bond was hasty and reckless, so she...
"Sorry, you don't want to be restrained."
The girl's many thoughts finally turned into an apology, but her meaning was wrong, Onikiri chose to accept it without explaining, he looked down at her, and then stretched out his hand to pat the top of her head.
"Tomorrow, make me a practical bento."
After finishing speaking, he left the girl's side with a smile that was too good to be true.
The girl was left alone in place.
……
Tianqing didn't know how she got back to the room, she only knew that it was almost dawn before she had time to explain everything to Yaoyan.
Thinking of Onikiri's last request to herself, she could only run to the kitchen in a daze, and listened to his request and made him an extra-large onigiri bento.
...She clearly knew that she and Onikiri would meet again.
But why was she so sad just now?
Tears once again blurred her vision and made it almost impossible for her to organize her thoughts.
...Is it reluctance, reluctance to that man who is awkward but still thinks of himself and protects himself time and time again.
The girl's mind flashed a lot of things she had experienced with Onikiri, and found that although she and Onikiri had not known each other for a long time, they had experienced many things together.
From the time when Atsushiyama met the crazy Onikiri, to when he followed her to Honmaru, to when he opened up to himself little by little, and was willing to cooperate with everyone in Honmaru... Then he met Higanka in the present world together, and then he was in Honmaru. When I felt the most lonely and helpless, I firmly stopped Kaguya Hime and the others for her, and helped her regain her memory.
After that, she was accompanied by Onikiri for several days and nights, until she sensed the danger in this world, and it was Onikiri who accompanied her back to the real world to fight against Domeki, and then in the forest, because he didn't want to hurt her, he used the blade instead. Stabbing his own thigh, forcing himself to regain consciousness.
She saw every little change in him.
Although she was really happy to see Onikiri let go of her knots, follow her no longer obsessively, find her own goal and start his journey alone again, but thinking that she might part with Onikiri...
Tianqing sniffed, then stretched out her sleeve and quickly wiped away her tears.
"No, I must be good at my identity later on, and send him away with a great smile!" Tianqing muttered softly, but the corners of her mouth could not be hooked no matter how hard she tried.
……
When the morning light came out completely, it was time for Onikiri to pull Ibaraki Doji away from Honmaru.
The girl who had just finished making the bento box chased to the side of the time-traveling device, looked up at the black-haired warrior who was more than a head taller than her, and then raised her hand and stuffed the agreed-upon bento box into his arms.
The morning light sprinkled a layer of soft and warm gold on the silent two people, and the girl's crying and swollen eyes couldn't be concealed falling on Onikiri's eyes, which brought him a heart-wrenching feeling.
Now, Onikiri couldn't help but speak, his deep eyes showed tenderness and tolerance only for the girl, and his voice was very soft: "Why are you crying? Didn't you always want to drive me away?"
"I want to drive you away?" Tianqing was stunned, and then scolded him angrily: "...You idiot, stupid, childish! I never thought like this, you are..."
"Well, I know." Onikiri interrupted her quickly again, her voice was as steady as ever.
"Then you still have to say that kind of thing..."
"I just want to hear you deny it yourself." Onikiri lowered his brows, and then turned his attention to the bento box that the girl had made for him. Just seeing this warm box, many silent exchanges with the girl in the past came again. At this moment, little by little, passed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
It was all crazy, but it was the warmest memory in his heart.
If he left this time, he probably won't see the girl for a long time.
Thinking of this, Onikiri quietly set his eyes on the girl's face again, as if he wanted to imprint everything about her in his heart.
And looking at the petite girl in front of him all the time, his face that usually does not show any emotional fluctuations, unexpectedly raised a helpless and doting arc without him noticing.
His smile gradually melted into the morning light, making Tianqing a little distracted for a moment.
The two looked at each other quietly until Ibaraki Doji impatiently urged.
"...I'm leaving." Onikiri withdrew the smile on his face, and in an instant he returned to his usual self, then turned around and prepared to embark on the journey——
Just in an instant, the anxious Tianqing subconsciously stretched out her left hand to grab Onikiri, and the force with which her fingers fell was so strong that the edges and knuckles of her fingers were slightly white.
Onikiri was startled, then turned back to meet her gaze: "What's wrong?"
"I..." Tian Qing's eyes wandered, looking at the warrior who was about to leave her far away, for some reason in his heart, he remembered the scene of parting with important people in the past, and his eyes gradually became moist.And she quickly suppressed the tears back, and then stretched out her hand and pulled out Onikiri's blade to directly cut her finger——
"What are you doing?!" Onikiri didn't know why she suddenly wanted to hurt herself, so she hurriedly reached out to stop her, but unexpectedly, Tianqing's movements wiped a little blood on Onikiki's wrist faster than him.
Then, the blood quickly melted into Onikiri's wrist, forming a small imprint, which brought him a warm feeling.
Onikiri looked at the imprint on his hand a little unresponsively: "This is..."
"This is not a contract." Tianqing replied immediately, and explained anxiously: "I know you don't like it. So let it be...my unilateral seal."
Onikiri's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the girl in front of him without saying a word.
"This...is my mark, it doesn't mean you belong to me, but if you are in danger, no matter how far away you are, I will go and save you, I will definitely!" Tianqing desperately explained, It was as if she was afraid that Onikiri would object to her doing this.
But maybe Tianqing didn't expect that after she explained this, Onikiri just showed a helpless smile on her face: "You think too highly of yourself, and you also like to look down on me too much."
"I didn't..."
"I'll be back soon," Onikiri lowered his eyes and explained, then bent down in a strange way, and gradually moved his face closer to the girl's cheek: "If you dare to forget me, you will die, stupid onmyoji .”
After finishing speaking, the samurai, who is always cautious in words and deeds, couldn't hold back the emotion in his heart, and placed a soft kiss on the girl's forehead.
But Tianqing only felt a moist feeling brushing over her forehead, and then her neck sank, and a pendant fell on her chest. It was a jade ornament hung by a small rope, and it looked plain at first glance. It's strange, but when you look closely, the slightly cool black jade seems to give Tianqing a feeling similar to Onikiri.
As if she didn't expect that she would get something from Onikiri, she raised her head in astonishment.
"...This is my only jade pendant." Onikiri turned his back on her: "It has the same purpose as your mark."
"It is true that I will not make a contract with anyone again, but I can give it to you."
"...I will be there when you need me."
"Take care of yourself."
