[Comprehensive] Love and Hunter

Chapter 244 244

Only when Yuna herself became a servant, did she know how busy the lord who seems to be copying Buddha every day is.

Taro Tachi went out to practice, and Yamabuki Kirikunihiro came.It is said that there is a place called "Juledi" that he is very concerned about, and he especially hopes that the lord can send him there to fight.

After Yamabashi Kirihiro left, California Kiyomitsu led Yamato Mori Kanesada to come. This time, he wanted to invite the master to taste the newly knitted scarf and the newly designed manicure.The lord nodded appreciatively, "Not bad", and the two pioneer JKs left.

After a while, Karasuma floated over again, and opened his mouth to the lord and said "for father", so scared that Yuna almost covered his mouth—although Karasuma is indeed very honorable, an old senior of all swordsmen Not bad, but calling yourself father to the lord is not okay...! !

After being busy for a while, it was already evening.

She stood guard on the Ming corridor, looking at the afterglow of the western mountains in the courtyard and sighed.Now she realizes how difficult it is to count Zhumaru Koji, not only to report back and forth, but also to deal with all kinds of strange emergencies, listening to the singing of Izumi Mori Kanesada.

Just like this, Shuzhu Wandian can still maintain an expression of indifference and few desires, as if he has entered the Tao, strong and invincible.

The branches and leaves in the courtyard are stained with the layered golden glow of late summer, which has a graceful beauty.There was another creaking sound on the corridor, she averted her gaze from staring at Xi Hui, looked sideways, and saw a person she hadn't seen for a long time.

A young man in military uniform with short aqua blue hair was walking towards here while brushing the dust from his sleeves.

"Mr. Phase I..." She clasped her hands, "Long time no see."

"Daylight." Yiqi lifted his head up, and when he saw her, there was a soft smile in his eyes. "It's been a while since I've seen you. You became the captain, went to practice again, and now you're a valet..." For some reason, this handsome young man sighed vaguely, "You have become a very trustworthy young man. partner."

Seeing that Yiqi Yizhen's clothes were a little messy, she remembered that he had gone to the underground city of Osaka, so she asked: "Have you come back from Osaka Castle so soon? I heard before that the underground city in Osaka needs It took a long time to search for it.”

Phase [-] shook his head and said, "There was a little accident... my brother was injured a little bit, just in case, I'd better go back to Honmaru first."

"Is that so... all right?" she asked.

"It's nothing serious, it's just a minor injury." Yiqi Yizheng's voice was quite soft, "Although the time I went was short, I gained a lot, so I came back to my lord."

Yuna also laughed, she moved away from her side and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to communicate now."

"Wait—" Yiqi Yizhen suddenly called out to her.

Her footsteps stopped.

There was a soft creaking sound on the corridor, and the young man walked up to her quickly and put his arms around her.

"Mr. Phase One...?"

The setting sun cast down from a distance, casting the shadows of the two on the wall obliquely.A slender figure was outlined in the golden light, and the leaf shadow swayed slightly, occasionally breaking the hugging silhouette.The wind is blowing slowly, which seems to slow down the time.

Yiqi Yizhen hugged her for a long time, then slowly let go of her hand and said, "It's been a long time since I saw her, that's why I'm here.

So...sorry.excuse me. "

She shook her head and said, "It's fine."

Yiqi Yizhen looked at her face, smiling slightly. "If possible, I still want to fight side by side with you." He said, seemingly regretful, "I just don't know, whether my lord is willing to agree..."

Yuna looked at him and asked, "Why does Mr. Yiqi want to fight with me?"

"Ah... this..." Yiqi raised his brows lightly, and seemed a little embarrassed, "I don't quite understand why. It's just that I have such a wish in my heart. Maybe it's something that happened when we were in Osaka Castle..."

She was a little helpless.

Because of the fire in the Ming Dynasty, neither of them can remember what happened in Osaka Castle.If you say that, it is really incomprehensible.

"And," Yiqi Yizhen chuckled, "it's normal to want to spend more time with the people you care about."

She lowered her voice and whispered: "Don't say such misleading words. Everyone is Fu Sangshen who is loyal to the Lord. Compared with me, there are more people who deserve Mr. Yizhen's attention. "

"However, daylight is special." Yiqi Yizhen said so persistently.

"Forget it... I'll pass it on to you first." Yuna sighed, there was nothing she could do, she walked towards the sliding door with the rotten leaf pattern, entered the room, and said to the monk, "My lord, one phase, one vibration Returned from Osaka Castle."

There was silence in the room, and the monk did not answer.

She squatted on the ground and waited for a long time without hearing any reply, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.She looked up secretly, but found that the monk was standing in front of the window, lost in thought, his eyes slightly dazed, as if he had never heard her voice.

"My lord...?" She called out again, "I came back to life after a while."

Only then did the monk return to his senses belatedly.

His eyes fell, and he flicked across her face lightly, and asked: "Just now... were you and Yiqi Yizhen Jiguang talking on the Minglang?"

She blinked, somewhat unable to understand what the lord said.After a while, she realized that the lord was asking about her and Yiqi.In her impression, the lord rarely asks such strange questions.Still, she replied, "Yes."

For some reason, the monk stretched out his hand, stroked his temple slowly, and slowly closed his eyes.Immediately, there was a low murmur of chanting Buddha's name, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Love and glory cannot be kept forever."

"Everyone should leave, there is no one to be happy."

"Love and glory..."

Seeing the abnormal behavior of the monk, she didn't dare to disturb him for a while, but held her breath and knelt down.After a while, the monk finally let go of his clasped hands, regained his usual steady appearance, and said, "Let Yiqi Yizhen come in."

She nodded, moved the door away, and said to Yiqi who was guarding outside: "Mr. Yiqi, please come in."

The young man was staring at a Xia Ye poking into the corridor in a daze, when he saw her figure, he immediately showed a gentle smile and said, "OK." I just feel that the golden sunset behind him is dimmed in comparison.

The sliding door was closed, and she was bored guarding the door again.

The sun sank towards the horizon little by little, and the sky opened up a bit.

A strange deep cyan color.She was staring at the horizon when she saw an excavator frantically driving past in front of her.

Yuna:?

The excavator drove forward with a bang, rolling two deep tracks on the ground, and slowly went away.She still doesn't know who the person sitting in the driver's seat of the excavator is. She only knows that Hasebu, who is pressing and cutting tonight, will definitely go crazy.

After a while, it seemed to get darker.At this moment, a white thin blanket suddenly floated in the wind.The thin blanket was blown fluttering by the night wind, swirling lightly in the sky.After a while, the second, third, and fourth thin blankets floated over——

"Quick! Put the blankets back quickly! It's all blown away!" Gaxian Kanesada, who was dressed in an inner uniform, led two short knives, and ran all the way behind the thin blankets, looking crazy.

"It's not elegant at all—" After they ran away, the voice could still be heard in the wind.

Yuna:? ?

A little more time passed, and night fell in Honmaru.There was an afterimage floating in the air, and she couldn't see the figure clearly at all.With a little jewelry on the hem, she recognized it as a press-cut Hasebe.

"Why is the excavator in the vegetable field?!" Hasebe roared.

Yuna: ...【. 】

As a close servant, I see the mentally handicapped Honmaru every day (3/3)

There was a soft knock from the sliding door behind him, and Yiqi Yizhen finally came out.He saw Yuna, and opened his mouth to say something, but he heard the lord in the room say: "The sun shines brightly."

Yiqi Yizhen swallowed what he wanted to say, and said: "My lord is looking for you, you go first, Sunshine."

"Okay." She bowed to say goodbye to Yiqi Yizheng, and entered the door.

The monk is rarely seen standing behind the sliding door, and seems to have sent Yiqi Yizhen all the way here.He twirled the beads and slowly recited the Buddha's words; when she came in, he opened his eyes and asked, "Riguang, you must be tired as a servant at the beginning, right?"

She shook her head: "Not at all."

"...I have an unfeeling request." The monk murmured, "Dance that white beat dance for me one more time, and then you can go to rest."

She was a little surprised, but agreed anyway.

She had a vague idea of ​​the lord's past, and understood that the lord was very concerned about a prince named "Ren Dun".The child seemed to be the prince raised by the lord himself, but he died at an early age, and the lord felt very guilty about it.Since she learned the dance steps of the ballad chanting Prince Rendun from Jing Yuqian, the lord would often ask her to dance it again.

Bai Paizi's clothes are in the side hall.She went to the side hall to change the snow-colored dance dress and red hakama, inserted the red sun-patterned juniper fan into her belt, and returned to the lord.

The monk sat far away at the head, and he was the only spectator of the performance.

Yuna closed her eyes for a moment, and quickly recalled the tune of the ballad, and suddenly opened the folding fan in her hand, revealing the green hills and sunrise on the fan.The snow-colored sleeves were raised, like a flutter of catkins.

The sky is bright, the moon is snowing at night——

When she sang this line, she suddenly remembered the past stories about the lord that she had heard about.

The lord's real name... what is it?She should have heard of it, right?

She remembers...

The folding fan closed and opened again, and the red tassels swayed gently.She half covered with a fan

His face was closed, and his eyes were full of thoughts.

The lord's name is...

The lowest mage.It seems to be this.

She remembered.The lord's dharma title is "Mo Xia".

The lowest person in the world... what is it?

While she was in a trance, at some point, the monk who was sitting far away at the head had slowly walked in front of her, standing an inch away from her.His steady gaze like the sea was staring at her deeply, he didn't know whether he was looking at her or someone from the past.

She slowly stopped dancing and looked up at the monk in front of her.He stood very close, his breath almost fell on her skin.The night was dark, without light or fire, and his eyes were also a silent dead sea without any fluorescent light.

"My lord," she put away her fan and looked up at him, "I have a question."

"Yeah." He still stared at her.

"What is the lowest... in the world?" she asked.

"..." The monk's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly stuffed the beads into his sleeve.After a while, he said slowly, "The lowest in the world... should be 'Love and Glory'."

She was startled, not expecting to hear such an answer.

Before he could think about it, the monk folded his body and walked away slowly.While walking, he said: "The sun is shining, you should go back and rest first."

"Yes." She inserted the fan back into her belt and replied respectfully.

"...I have thought about it for a while, and it is really unfair to you to detain you here as a close servant." The monk murmured again, "Do you have someone who wants to be your companion? It may not be right to stay here all day long to copy scriptures and chant Buddha's name." It's what you want. After a while, ask Yakiri Hasebe to be your servant."

——It is unfair to you to detain you here as a close servant

——After a while, let Yakiri Hasebe be a servant.

Yuna was surprised.

Her eyes flickered, and she had the urge to argue: she didn't find copying scriptures and chanting Buddha boring, and she never felt that being a close servant here was detention.Even though she also likes the time of fighting with her companions, there is nothing wrong with being loyal by the lord's side.

However, when she thought of her lack of ability, she fell silent again.

She doesn't even know Sanskrit, and she is as embarrassed as a painted tadpole when transcribing scriptures, and she still needs the master to teach her with a pen in hand... How can she be a servant like this?She really shouldn't be here anymore.

So, she was silent for a moment, and finally replied softly: "...Yes."

Hearing her response, the monk's body stiffened slightly.Immediately, he nodded and said, "Go down and rest. Just leave me alone."

Her heart was a little sour and complicated, but she, who was always docile, didn't say much. She just obeyed the order and quietly left the residence.When stepping out of the sliding door with rotten leaf patterns, the night outside the house was getting dark, and a piece of moonlight was shining on the Ming Corridor, as light as running water.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and walked out quickly.

Walking to the edge of a clear pond, she saw her own reflection.The water in the pond is clear, and several colored carps are swimming downstream of the pond waves, causing soft ripples on the water surface.She knelt down by the pond and saw the tiny gentian flower on her forehead.

This gentian flower was painted on her forehead with cinnabar by the former master Horio Tadashi, but it couldn't be washed off no matter what, and it remained on her body.Nobody seems to be surprised by this

, it was only when she came back from extreme cultivation that she changed.But she knows that this gentian flower has its unique meaning——

The past of the Horio family has been let go, and she should dedicate everything to the current lord, and even make up for the current lord with the regret of "not being able to do anything" in the past.

but……

She couldn't even do such trivial things as transcribing Sanskrit, so that the lord didn't want her to continue to serve as a valet.Speaking of which, it really did not live up to Mr. Zhong's original intention.

She rested her chin, looked at the water and sighed, and slowly returned to the room.

Because of her low mood, she didn't even talk to her brother who came back from the battle.Although he still chatted and laughed with Candlestick Qie Guangzhong for a while out of etiquette, he left after a while with the excuse of "being a servant is so tiring", and went back to his room to rest.

In the silence of the night, she lay down in the room.Not long after I closed my eyes and fell asleep, I vaguely had that dream again——

The sky is bright, the night is moon and snow.

The fine snow rustled and fell into the boundless green field.The monk's robe was blown full by the wind, and he walked towards the depths of the mountain.She seemed to want to chase after her, but she was getting farther and farther away from the figure of the monk.

"sunlight……?"

Someone is calling her in the ear.Looking sideways, it was a shock.

There was also thin snow on his water-blue hair, and a pair of golden pupils filled with gentle concern.In the winter snow, he stretched out his hand and held her hand, with a slight warmth in his palm.

One episode, one shock...is it also in the protagonist's dream?

She was in a daze, unable to tell whether this was a dream or reality.When he came back to his senses, he seemed to be standing on the side porch of Honmaru, looking blankly at the dark and clean courtyard.

Is she in a dream, or in reality?

It must be in a dream.

Thinking of this, Yuna slowly walked towards the lord's residence.A stone lamp was lit under the Ming Corridor, and the dim light danced lightly, casting her figure on the wooden floor.She walked through the corridor silently, moved the sliding door with rotten leaves pattern, and looked into the lord's residence.

The candlelight was dimmed, and the monk was flipping through the Buddhist scriptures on one side.Seeing her suddenly appearing in front of the door, the monk's face was slightly surprised.

"The sun shines forever..."

Looking at the monk's face, Yuna remembered what the lord had said to her during the day.

——It is unfair to you to detain you here as a close servant

——After a while, let Yakiri Hasebe be a servant.

Although she knew that this was a dream, and it was useless to express her dissatisfaction to the person in the dream, but she didn't want to worry about it anymore, so she walked close to the monk and said, "My lord...did something too much."

The astonishment in the monk's eyes seemed to intensify.

He stretched out his hand, stroked her heart, and said, just like how he treated all the children in the past, "Why do you say that?"

"I... still want to be a servant." She whispered, "Although I understand, I am a useless person... The former master died, and I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't fulfill the former master's commission. I might as well count the beads As noble as the temple, not as powerful as Hasebe-san, just a person who can't do anything. Even so..."

She bit the corner of her lip and said in a low voice, "I still want to be a servant, guarding the lord's side."

The monk's eyes flickered, and the hand hanging over her heart seemed to be frozen.After a while, Yuna heard his sigh: "I... just don't want to detain you here. You also have your own wishes..."

Her wish...?

What is her wish...?

As Sunshine Changguang, she has only one wish, and that is to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the lord, to achieve the goal of "loyalty".She is the sword given to the Horio clan by Tokugawa Hidetada, which symbolizes "loyalty", which is the whole meaning of her existence.

So she said persistently, "I want to stay by the lord's side."

Because this is a dream, she is not as restrained as usual.She pursed her lips, and instead of calling out the respectful title, she called out the Lord's past Buddha's name over and over again.

"...Lord mage, please let me stay by your side."

The monk's eyes were shocked, and he stepped back a few steps, as if he had witnessed something incredible.Immediately, he murmured: "The sun is shining, forget that name quickly... the past is in the past..."

If Fu Sangshen learned of the lord's real name, then she would no longer belong to him.She will fall into the obsession with the lord, and it will be difficult to break free——

This is what he was told when he became a god judge.In the past, Fu Sangshen was too curious about the past of the lord, so that he couldn't bear to witness the death of the lord in history, and took action to change what had happened, which eventually led to the fall.something like this...

Never happen.

She felt that the lord was very strange.

Obviously, every time in the dream, the protagonist is deeply trapped in the past, so why can he still say such self-deceiving words as "the past is over"?

"Lord Master, you are so obsessed with the past, and you still can't forget the death of Prince Rendun, so that you are haunted by that dream... Even so, you can still say 'the past is over' Is that the case?" She stepped forward and asked seriously.

The monk turned his head sideways and took another step back, as if he was avoiding some inner demon.But behind him was the wall of the house, he had no way to retreat, he could only watch the woman in front of him slowly step up.

The girl was dressed in white pajamas, her face was gentle but full of compelling beauty.The black hair fell down one shoulder, and the eyelashes opened upwards, revealing the gaze like a morning flower.She stopped in front of him, slowly raised her toes, and brought the realization to be level with him.

The monk stared at her stiffly, and murmured: "The sun is shining, forget that name."

"I don't want to forget." She said persistently, "Lord Master Mage, please let me accompany you."

The monk opened his mouth, and loosened his five fingers that had been tightly closed. The Buddhist beads fell to the ground and broke apart, and the sandalwood beads rolled to the ground.He looked at the woman in front of him, recalling her appearance in dance clothes and with a folding fan unfolded, and he couldn't say any harsher words of rejection for a moment.

The sun shines—

This is Fu Sangshen who he watched grow up with his own eyes, just like Prince Rendun who he raised with his own hands.He looked at her, from the ignorant appearance in Honmaru at the beginning to the current posture.

How can he cut it off?

The monk's eyes flickered slightly, but the woman had already moved close to him and put her arms around him.

"My lord mage...this is a dream." She murmured, pressing her lips to his cheek, "When I wake up tomorrow, everything will be forgotten....Please leave everything to me."

The night wind swayed, and the wick of the candlestick was blown off.

In the night, it seemed that someone was whispering the words of Buddha.

"Love and glory cannot be kept forever."

"Everyone should leave, there is no one to be happy."

"Love and glory cannot be kept forever..."

◎The author has something to say:

uu: I announced that none of this Honmaru can fight.
