Chapter 196 196
Snapped!
The crisp sound of the bamboo knives striking each other reverberated violently.
Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada held the bamboo knife for practice, and while twisting his hands to hold the hilt tightly, he said seriously: "Darklight, your reaction speed is too slow. If you really encounter an enemy, you will be cut in two. "
Yuna across from him sighed heavily and said, "I will try my best."
The knife itself of Sunshine Changguang did not have the conditions to become Fusangshen, it was her spiritual consciousness attached to it that became the Sunshine Changguang's Fusangshen.I don't know if it's because of this reason that her strength is much smaller than Candlestick Che's. I'm afraid she will have to train more in the future to make up for the original gap.
Bamboo knives struck each other, and it was another close combat.She had to pay 12 points of concentration so that she wouldn't really lose to Candlestick Che's men; compared to her forehead covered in cold sweat, Candlestick Che seemed much more relaxed, and even had the leisure to laugh teasingly.
Finally, he had seen enough of her tense posture, put down the bamboo knife, and said, "Take a break. I have prepared fruits from Kyoto, do you want to eat?"
Yuna breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling sore in her arms.But after hearing Candlestick Cut's words, I became a little curious: "The fruits in Kyoto? Where did they come from? Speaking of which, we Fusangshen don't need to eat."
"It's true that you don't need to eat, but it doesn't matter if you really eat something, anyway, it will be integrated with the aura of the lord in the end." Candlestick Che sat down in the corridor and pushed a small long and narrow box, "This fruit can You can buy it directly in Wanwu, or you can ask Fu Sangshen who went out to bring it back from outside."
"Bring it back from the outside world?" She was a little puzzled, "Aren't you afraid of changing history? The so-called 'butterfly effect'..."
"If it's just a box of fruit, then it doesn't matter." Candlestick cut looked very relaxed, "History itself will be closed. This kind of small change, history itself can handle it-whether the steamed bun shop under Antu Castle sells it today How many steamed buns, the Honnoji Temple will be burned down; if a hundred people go to buy Western-made clothes, the hunting knife order will be promulgated in the same way. You don’t have to worry about such trivial matters. Come, have a taste?”
She nodded and picked up a piece of fruit pastry.The raw fruit pinched with arrowroot powder and red beans is soft.If you put it in your mouth, the sweetness of red bean paste melts on the tip of your tongue.
"How does it taste?" Candlestick asked.
"It's delicious." She laughed, and handed another piece of fruit cake in her hand to Candlestick Che, "Brother, try it too."
"Hmm..." Candlestick cut took the piece of pastry, glanced at it, but saw the sticky kudzu powder sticking to her fingertips, which was an eyesore.So, he simply grabbed her hand, lowered his head and licked off the ball of white powder with the tip of his tongue.
"Don't waste food." He said solemnly, and stuffed the remaining pastry into his mouth.
Yuna glanced at the candlestick, then at her palm, and suddenly felt that something extraordinary had happened just now.But seeing Candlestick Cut's serious face, she was too embarrassed to bring it up.
...Forget it, just pretend nothing happened.
Maybe this is the brotherhood of the man who sent the sword in the long boat.
In the courtyard in the distance, there was a loud commotion.Yuna couldn't help but looked up, but saw six or seven people gathered there, all dressed in full armor, complete with armor, cloak and saber, obviously about to go out into battle.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the Fu Sangshen who were about to take part in the battle seemed to be extra dizzying.Not only is the saber gorgeous, with a golden red color and sun and moon patterns, but even the clothes are also extraordinarily gorgeous, with a faint sense of peace and prosperity.When they stood together, it was as if thousands of cherry blossoms and thousands of leaves were opening together, and people couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
"Brother, who are those...?" She couldn't help asking.
"Oh, that's the one who is about to go out." Candlestick leaned back and supported it with his arms, with a bit of emotion in his tone, "These are Fusangshen who the lord relies on the most, and they are also Honmaru. Among them, the ones with the most combat experience. Usually, only when encountering a particularly difficult team, the lord will send a few of them. Depending on the situation, the enemy encountered this time is probably very difficult to deal with."
As he spoke, the head of the candlestick was tilted, and he introduced to Yuna from left to right the favorite knives that these protagonists rely on the most: "Sankai Tsukimune, Xiao Karasuma, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Yingmaru, Xiaohumaru, one phase one Zhen, Occasionally Shumaru Temple will also take part in the battle.... Well, the lord will particularly prefer some swords from the Heian era, such as Ko Karasuma Temple, but they are often called to the battle. Because the lord seems to be from that era, it is also unreasonable. It’s a matter of method. From the age of birth, only Yiqi Yizhen is barely the same age as us.”
"One issue, one shock? A familiar name..." She fell into deep thought.
"Have you met in Osaka Castle? The Horio clan participated in winter and summer in Osaka." Candlestick Chebi gestured, "However, you may not remember."
"Ah... I really don't remember." She smiled shyly.The fire in the Ming Dynasty lost the memory of Sunshine Changguang, and this is something that can't be helped.
She raised her head and looked at the Yiqi Yijin who she might have seen in Osaka Castle.It was a thin young man with short water-blue hair, a handsome figure, and a short black cloak with knife patterns on his shoulders.Probably sensing that someone was looking at him, he turned sideways and cast a distant glance.
Very gentle eyes, completely different from the candlestick, more generous and soft, like a piece of water without waves.
"Enough rest, let's continue training?" Candlestick cut's voice sounded beside her ears, "Daylight, don't look, that's not a team that the newcomer Fu Sangshen can squeeze into. Even if you are going out, It’s also not their turn to be on the same team as them.”
"Ah...that's it." She looked away.
It's not that I can't understand it.Those glamorous Senior Ping An probably look like... oiran?Such an existence?It is the facade of Honmaru.She is a Lv1 knife who just arrived, so she can only hang out with other newcomers in the cute new training ground.
Practice continues.
Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada is a very kind mother and a good opponent.The afternoon's training gave her a lot of combat experience.It's just that sweating all over the body is inevitably sticky and uncomfortable, so I went straight to the bathroom as soon as I got out of the training ground.
When she came back to the house after taking a shower and wiping her hair, she saw the candlesticks shining brightly in front of her door again (...).
"Brother, what are you doing..." She pulled the towel off her head with a suspicious tone.
"Ah...it's nothing." Candlestick straightened up, "Did Sunlight take a bath? Do you need to change into new clothes? Well, the gift we gave this morning... Do you want to try it?"
"........."
She sighed, looking helpless against him: "If you want to see it so much, then I will
Just change it.Wait a mininute. "
"Huh?" Candlestick was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.He didn't expect her to let go so easily, and the million sets of excuses he had thought up before seemed useless, "Riguang, are you really... willing? It doesn't matter if you don't wear them. I'm afraid you don't like skirts... "
"It doesn't matter." She really didn't care, as she said that she had dug out the gift box sent by Xiaolong and Candlestick in the morning.With quick hands and feet, he put on the miniskirt in two steps, then turned around and showed it to Candlestick Cut, "Is that so? Brother, you want to see this, right?"
Candlestick cut: ...
He looked at Yuna with a complicated expression, not knowing where to start complaining.
——Why do you put the short skirt over the trousers of the suit! !What a weird combination!We Longboats don't dress like this!
When he was full of complexities, he could hear the instigator in front of him laughing uncontrollably.When I looked again, I saw that she was covering the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, trying her best to hide the fact that she was snickering.
"...Sunshine, did you do it on purpose?" Candlestick clenched his fists, his eyes darkened, "Are you making fun of your brother?" He said, deliberately rolled up the cuffs of his coat, revealing his muscular forearms , "It's really amazing that you dare to make jokes about your brother."
"Eh?" Yuna was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out whether he was really angry or fake.However, she is the best at coaxing children, no matter how vicious a man is, she dares to treat him like a kindergarten kid.Immediately, she obediently took Candlestick Che's arm, leaned against his chest, and said docilely, "Sorry, brother, I was wrong."
Candlestick cut's complexion eased a bit.
Not only did his expression soften, but his mood changed instantly.He was a little annoyed at first, but once she came closer, all he was left with was nervousness and, a little bit of a strange eagerness to move.
If possible, he would like to hold her in his arms.
Yuna didn't know what he was thinking, but she was afraid that he was still angry, so she decided to coax her again: "Could it be that brother will lose his temper with me because of the short skirt?... Among the seniors of the long boat school, I like it the most. It's the elder brother." After she finished speaking, she opened her arms and put them around his waist.
His body is very solid, even through two layers of clothing, he can still feel the texture of his body, and he is quite comfortable to hold.
"..." Candlestick's eyes froze for a moment.
For a moment, he also wanted to hug it back, but his reason did not allow him to do so. ——Sunlight just doesn't understand the difference between genders, but he himself does.How could he easily take advantage of her?
"Brother?" She raised her head and saw Candlestick's hesitant eyes, showing a pure and puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
……
So cute.
do not care.
Candlestick Qie Guangzhong lowered his body and hugged the person in his arms tightly.Her stature was a little thinner than imagined, and she was weak and boneless when hugged, like a willow leaf that would break when it was folded.
"Brother, I'm a little... out of breath." Her muffled voice came from Candlestick Che's arms, "Is this the brother etiquette of our Longboat Sect?"
"...Yes." Candlestick Cut's voice was a little erratic, "It's a way to express brotherhood. But... only for me."
"What do you mean?"
"
Neither Xiaolong nor Daprajna can hug you like this. Candlestick closed his eyes, and started talking nonsense, "This is something that only your most respected brother can do... Do you understand?" "
"understood."
Finally, Candlestick Che took a long breath and let go of his arms.Yuna got out of his arms, her face flushed a little, and the original white ears were also stained a little cherry red.
Candlestick looked at her face, and his Adam's apple slipped slightly.
He didn't know where the idea came from - just hugging wasn't enough, he wanted to do more.Like try something like a kiss...
No!
Candlestick cut immediately stopped his thoughts, punched himself heavily in the abdomen, knelt down in a corner beside him, and started brainstorming in a muffled voice. ——How could he be so shameless? How could he be so shameless? Why not go after Sunshine's younger sister who doesn't understand gender distinction at all? Although Sunshine is cute and has a pretty face, it's not a reason for him to take advantage of others!
——But just now, it was obviously Sunshine who took the initiative, right? She hugged him and said that he is the one she likes the most. Does that mean that he likes him? Is he not wishful thinking?
"Brother?" Yuna squatted halfway to see the appearance of the candlestick huddled in the corner, a little puzzled.
"It's nothing." Finally, Zhu Keqie stood up, his complexion returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "You go to rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything I need to help."
--Next time.Candlestick thought so.
It's just too abrupt to say "want to kiss" all of a sudden now.Ask her next time.
With this in mind, Candlestick Che left her room.
Yuna looked at his heavy leaving back, and became more and more confused.
/ / /
--
In the evening, the sky was getting darker, and a piece of golden crow's light spread on the horizon.Yuna couldn't relax, and practiced swordsmanship alone in the open space of the courtyard for a while.When he was tired and wanted to rest, the sound of children playing suddenly came from the corridor behind him.
"The retreating little tiger is hiding here! There is another one here!"
"When you find them all, give them back!"
I don't know what game they were playing, but I saw three short-cut kids in short black uniforms running over from the corridor.The kid at the head didn't see Yuna, but rushed straight into her arms.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Before he could cry out, the kid with the short knife realized that he had bumped into someone, and quickly got up to apologize, "I'm sorry..." That's all, he took a peek at Yuna's face, and immediately added the respectful name, "Sunlight gentlemen."
She used さん, but she didn't feel that there was anything unusual in the title of male or female, so she smiled happily: "It's okay, just be careful."
--
Just as they were talking, a gentle youthful voice came from behind the three dagger kids: "Don't run and frolick in front of other people's doors. Some seniors like to be quiet."
The young man's voice probably had a lot of power for the lively children. The children immediately stood upright, and their expressions became more obedient: "Brother Yiqi, we have already apologized."
The man known as the "first phase brother", since
Step out behind the corridor wall.She recognized immediately that this man in a well-tailored high-necked military uniform, gold tassels and cape, was a man whom she had glimpsed from afar during the day.
It must have been out to complete the task and come back.
"It's you..." She recalled Candlestick Chee's respectful name for him, and hurriedly greeted him, "Mr. Yizhen, Yiqi."
"You can just call me 'Phase [-]'." The young man showed a slight smile, "Have we met before?...It feels familiar."
At closer inspection, he seemed more and more handsome and well-proportioned.Not only the gold-red main color of clothing, but also because of those golden eyes, it seems to reflect the bustling majestic city.
However, his question left Yuna at a loss as to how to answer it.
The first issue of Yizheng burned once in Osaka City, and she burned once in the Mingli fire.Both of them are in a state of amnesia, the blind meets the blind, and neither of them remembers whether they have been on the battlefield before.
"Ah... big, probably?" She said a little embarrassedly, "I don't remember clearly either."
"It doesn't matter." Yiqi accepted this reality with vigor, "Those things are over, we only need to serve the current lord and that's enough." As he spoke, he reached out his hand to touch the heart of his younger brother.
Ichishin is the only tachi work by swordsmith Awataguchi Yoshimitsu.The swordsmith who forged him is good at short knives, so Yiqi Yizhen has a lot of short knives younger brothers, and several younger brothers are also partners in the small black house where Nikko Nagako was at Tokugawa's house.
There are many auras around him, such as "The World Is Vibrated", "Famous Items and Imperial Tools", "Toyotomi Taidao", in short, it is quite a legendary sword.Even though he is in Honmaru now, he is still highly regarded by the lord.But after such a period of excitement, there is no feeling of inaccessibility, alienation and aloofness on his body, on the contrary, he seems approachable and has a good temper.
Maybe it's because he is the eldest brother of the Awataguchi family?
The so-called "masculinity"...?
"Qiqian, can I ask some presumptuous questions?" She thought about how good-tempered Yiqi was, so she didn't ask for nothing.She didn't think that the Ping An famous knives in the first echelon of Honmaru were so easy to touch, "It's about the lord."
"Ah... please." Yiqi Yizhen accepted her question with a good temper.
"Does the Lord usually like to read Buddhist scriptures?" she asked, "Are there any Buddhist scriptures in the room?"
"Huh?" In the first issue, Yizhen thought that she would ask questions like "how to get the lord's love" like other swords, but she didn't expect that she would be interested in Buddhist scriptures.However, Yizhen often went in and out of the lord's court, so he knew about it, so he replied, "My lord does have a lot of Buddhist scriptures. I gave one of them as a gift to Jiang Xuezuowenwen."
"Will my lord actually give Buddhist scriptures to Fu Sangshen?" This was beyond her expectation.
"Yes." Yiqi Yizhen replied.After a pause, he asked, "Do you... want the master's scriptures?"
"Hmm....But, it's a very distant thing." She sighed a little, "I don't even have experience in battle, let alone becoming the beloved general in front of the lord and receiving gifts from the lord."
"Don't say that." Yiqi Yizheng's smile became softer, "As long as you work hard, one day it will come true. At first, I was just an ordinary sword with no experience. Because of the trust of the lord and senior guidance, I can grow to such a
today's situation. "
"'Ordinary'?" She teased in a low voice, "If you still count as 'ordinary' after one episode, then I am truly unknown."
Her words made Yiqi Yizhen feel a little embarrassed.He said a little shyly: "Riguang, you will grow up in the future. Sooner or later, we can fight side by side."
He was comforting her, Yuna knew that.
Yizhen's combat experience is one of the best in Honmaru. The so-called good steel should be used on the blade. Fu Sangshen like him will only be sent to deal with the most difficult and powerful enemies, instead of staying with her like lv1 The cute new hands.
Even if it is really "fighting side by side", it should be a long time later.
"In short," Yiqi Yizheng lowered his eyes, half hid the golden light, and said softly, "I'm waiting for the day when you become strong enough, so that we can fight together."
Although it is a polite remark, it is also inspiring enough.
It's almost like the championship team player of a sports competition grabbed the little boy in the audience as soon as he came up, and encouraged him with a smile like a spring breeze: "Come on, when you go to high school, you can become No.1 like me." !"
Moved.jpg--
Yuna was bathed in the aura of healing and gentleness, when she suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind her.Immediately, Candlestick Qie Guangzhong's nervous voice sounded: "First issue, isn't your own younger brother enough for you to take care of? This is my younger brother!"
"........."
In the first phase, he turned sideways and saw the candlesticks rushing towards him nervously, as if he saw a foreign pig digging the cabbage in his backyard.Candlestick cut is much taller than Yiqi Yizhen, but judging by his tense appearance, he has no courage at all.
Yiqi Yizhen looked at the appearance of the candlestick, and couldn't help laughing.He said cooperatively: "Yes, yes. I won't bother you, I'll take my leave first." After speaking, he took the hand of his younger brother Fujishiro and walked out.
When parting, he specially smiled at Yuna and said, "Daylight, I am waiting for the day when you will fight with me."
Healing light waves, full power output.
Yuna shook her head, and couldn't help but sighed: "Qiqi is really a good-tempered person. He doesn't put on airs at all, speaks politely and takes care of him, and looks good..."
Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, who had just been killed, looked nervously at the back of Yiqi Yizhen who was leaving, and asked: "Riguang, are you... think Yiqi Yizhen is very handsome, gentle, and good at caring for others, Is it suitable to be a big brother?"
She nodded: "Oh, I really think so."
Candlestick became even more nervous: "No, Nikko, you are the sword of our Osafune family, and my brother will not allow you to marry into Awataguchi!!"
"???"
She was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Zhu Keqie brainstorming again, she thought it was funny: "What, I just said a few words to Yiqi Yizhen. To be honest, neither of us have a complete memory." , I can’t even remember whether I’ve met or not, the atmosphere was so embarrassing when I spoke just now.”
Having said that, Candlestick Chee heaved a sigh of relief.
But thinking of the soft and moving gaze she had just looked at Yiqi Yizheng just now, Candlestick felt nervous from the bottom of her heart.How good the first round is, how can he not know?Sunshine is a girl, if she is accidentally taken away by Yiqi Yizheng, wouldn't the Longboat faction be ashamed?
"Brother, forget it, forget it." Seeing that the candle holder was still struggling, she quickly comforted him, "Don't be so nervous...do you want a hug?"
"..." Candlestick Cut's face froze.
What's the matter with sunlight?Did she learn some amazing new trick to coax people?
"'Hug me'? You can't say such words indiscriminately." Zhu Keqie immediately lowered his voice to teach her, "Except for me, you can't casually say such words to others, understand?"
"I know.... Then, do you want to hug me, brother?"
"...not outside." Candlestick Che said struggling.
"Then go back to my room?" She said it as a matter of course.
"........."
In the end, he still surrendered, and was honestly shut up by her with a hug.But just holding the other party in his arms, this can no longer satisfy him.He really wanted to try something else.For example...
"Daylight, I think, um..."
"Eh?"
"Can you try...something else?"
"??"
"I want to try kissing."
