Chapter 769 [Chapter 4] 190
Because she was suddenly pushed back and hit the wooden frame, and then struggled because she tried to get rid of his restraint, her hair is slightly messy now, and her face is flushed because of the breathless kiss just now. A little movement seems to touch her back The place where she hit the wooden frame just now caused her to grin her teeth in pain.
...And, what's worse, I feel that one of the five swordsmen in front of me is completely OOC by her!
"reason."
Facing her embarrassment, Sanriyue Zongjin didn't seem to show the slightest sympathy or intolerance.He took a step back and released her, but the light in this small storage room was dim, so now the shadow cast by his body standing in front of her seemed to completely cover her; I don't know if it was because he was so excited His aura overwhelmed her, and now this storage room looked extremely cramped and oppressive.
Perhaps because of the aftermath of the kiss just now, his voice was a little hoarse.But his voice was deep, and it sounded like there was an unfathomable storm.
Liu Quan understood what he really meant.
...But convincing him is really a super difficult task.
She lowered her gaze slightly and sighed.
"As you know, it's not that simple to go to the Government of Time this time....Even if I just received the mission and returned to Honmaru in the end, during my stay there, my every move will be taken care of by those big shots." Where are you watching..."
Sanri Yue Zongjin snorted inexplicably, and did not comment further on this.
Liu Quan continued: "And...the matter of Kanna Lin'ne, do you think it's just a coincidence?"
Sanri Yuezong's eyes flashed slightly, and finally said: "...what?"
He unexpectedly cherished words like gold, but maybe this was also his way of probing.
And Liu Quan didn't mind speaking more clearly.
"You... the past, you didn't intend to make a big deal of it. I also don't think the other Fusangshen who witnessed all this will make a big deal about it..."
"Perhaps Shenwujia still can't let go of Miss Xiangzi's experience, but let one of the descendants of Shenwujia also become a god judge, and so happened to become friends with me, and was sent to fight with me in Aizu... I always feel that all these coincidences happened too coincidentally."
Her gaze moved slightly, and her voice lowered a little.
"Of course we can say that Kanna Rinne hated you because of Kyoko-san's fate, and wanted to take revenge... Furthermore, I also think that she is the same as the 'Mikazuki Munekin' from her own Honmaru. Uncontrollably produced extraordinary emotions, but failed to get the same response, this incident intensified her hatred and extremes, making her desperate to take revenge on you... However, provide her with an excellent Isn't it the government of time that gives us a chance for revenge?"
Her tone was calm, and her attitude was unexpectedly frank, but the content of her words was thrilling!
"In the case of so many god judges, it's not that I don't have other friends who seem to have a good relationship, but I chose me to cooperate with her on the mission..."
She paused at this point, then raised her gaze, and looked deeply into the depths of Sankayue Zongjin's eyes.
"I'm worried that your existence has been noticed by the Government of Time. It's not because you have done something wrong, nor is it because you have become an unstable and dangerous element in their eyes, but because—"
She hesitated again inexplicably, before continuing:
"...Because you met me."
Sanriyue Zongjin:? !
These words seemed to exceed his expectations, his famous crescent-shaped pupils slightly widened, and his face froze, revealing a bit of unexpected surprise.
"What did you say...?" he asked in a low voice.
Liu Quan blinked his eyes.As if it was only at this time that she felt that her blunt speech had accidentally brushed the lower limit of shame, her face became hot again, she lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, and said: "And ordinary, You probably know best what kind of person I am... Is this kind of me, can the Government of Time use it with confidence? Now that the Honmaru has calmed down, maybe They also feel that my mission has been completed..."
Mikazuki Zongjin:! ! !
He stared at her slightly in surprise, but he could only see the curls on the top of her drooping head.Because her hair was cut short for various reasons during the battles—first at Hiraizumi’s Taisha to fight the wraiths, and later in Hakodate to pretend to be Hijikata—her hair has always been long. It was roughly truncated by the owner, and now it still maintains the length of just shoulders, unable to tie a neat long ponytail behind her head like before; so at this moment she lowered her head, and the slightly shorter hair was parted from both sides of her cheeks It hangs down to cover her face, preventing him from seeing the expression on her face clearly.
In the end, he reluctantly said: "...everything you have done is to be loyal to your mission. Besides, no one will know—"
She lowered her head and suddenly let out a chuckle.
"San Riyue, you are so gentle." She said.
Sanriyue Zongjin: "..."
He would not be so stupid as to be moved just because of this sentence.Just looking at the current situation, one would expect that she must have something to say—just like today she asked him to follow him to pick out a new knife, and in the end it was just to refuse him to be a servant. What she will say next is definitely nothing good--
Sure enough, the next moment he heard her say: "...Maybe it was such tenderness back then that made Miss Xiangzi have unrealistic expectations."
Sanriyue Zongjin: "..."
Although she knows that it is unwise to mention the names of Hijikata Toshizo or Saitoichi, but she keeps mentioning Kanmu Kyouko's name...is this really a bit irritating?
Do you think that poking his old wounds or dark history can stop his decision today?
"...Hahaha." He let out a familiar (?) laugh, and responded in a tolerant tone: "Then, it's really a pity that Mr. Xueye didn't waver."
"...will not be shaken."
Unexpectedly, she answered him in a particularly frank tone.
Then she raised her head and looked directly at him.He noticed that there seemed to be some kind of undeniably bright brilliance dancing in her bright eyes, as if she had made some kind of brave decision.
"If you are in unnecessary danger because of me, I... will be sad too."
Her eyes were bright, her voice was frank, and she said these words so frankly.
Sanriyue Zongjin: "..."
For a moment he felt speechless.When he was finally able to make a sound, he heard that his voice was a little hoarse - it was not because of the strong anger that made his voice extremely low like before, but because he tried his best to suppress those Unfamiliar, complex, and almost chest-breaking emotions will not be revealed, but the force is so strong that the voice is hoarse.
"……why?"
In the end, he could only ask such a sentence.
Then, he saw her blink again, and suddenly lowered her eyelids to isolate those bright eyes from his gaze; her voice also became a little erratic.
"But, maybe it's because—"
At this point she paused again, turned her face away unnaturally, her eyes seemed to be fixed on the ground beside his feet; her voice was also quieter.
"Because, because, I have an illusion..."
She moved her lips, as if she had worked hard several times, and finally squeezed out the shame-like words.
"I, I think, cough, you treat me... still, pretty good..."
Her voice sounded even more unnatural.Every syllable is like a stick reading when it pops out.
"It has always been...very good for me."
She stuttered uncommonly.He seemed to be amused by this performance. From where she couldn't see, he stared at the hair on the top of her head that was exposed to his view because she lowered her head, and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
"...So?" He waited for a few seconds, but he didn't see her continue, so he quietly reminded her.
She seemed to be startled by this sentence, and her body shook slightly; then, her voice became softer, and she could hardly hear it if she didn't listen carefully—this is really huge for an old man who has lived for thousands of years test?
"Since, since before, I, I have been losing people who are very good to me..."
However, to his surprise, her next sentence was actually this.
Sanri Yuezong raised his eyebrows in surprise, staring at the top of her hair, thinking that the most interesting thing about this girl is that sometimes people can't guess what she's going to do next, and people can't help but obey Given the trajectory of her thinking, people can't help but worry about her bravery and adventure.
Now, standing in front of her, he heard her say something unexpected again.
"It's not that I was abandoned by them, but... due to some helpless reasons, we just separated like this, and we will never see each other again..."
ah.He frowned slightly.
...Who are you talking about?Hijikata Toshizo, or Saitoichi?Or, there are some people that even he doesn't know, he has never seen, but she misses deeply as the years go by?
In short, he stood before her and heard her say in a serious tone:
"So, I want to cherish people who treat me well."
"It is precisely because of the gentle treatment I have received from everyone so far that I can have the courage to keep going."
"Sankayue... has always been gentle with me since before."
"However, it's not unprincipled connivance... When I do something that violates your morals, you will want to correct me and hope that I will do the right thing..."
"You will tolerate my willfulness and give me plenty of opportunities... Then, when I can't turn back, you will not completely lose your principles and indulge me unreasonably because you are kind to me..."
"I know that this is something that people who are really good for me will do."
"Although I have my own reasons... However, I have always known that Sanriyue is thinking about me."
She finally raised her head and met his eyes again.
"Thank you so much for treating me so tenderly all the time."
"I know that's what makes you strong."
Watched by her bright eyes, Mikazuki Zongjin finally moved his lips.
"Ah," he said, "you said—"
He originally wanted to stick to his usual style of painting, and said leisurely, "You say so, so it is so."
However, at this moment, he was slightly inappropriate, and suddenly thought of the person from before.
God has no sound.
He still remembered that Kanna Kyoko had said similar things to him back then.
At that time, the pure and innocent girl clasped her hands on her chest with a little nervousness, and asked him with an expression of anticipation and prayer: [Hey—Your Excellency Sanriyue, you have always treated me gently , then, you must also... like me, right? 】
At that time, he was a little surprised and didn't answer for a while.
As a result, the girl's expression gradually became pale and embarrassing following the silence.It wasn't until she showed a sad expression that he exhaled slowly, and gently looked down at the top of the girl's head that was lowered because of her sadness.
Then, he said: [Ha ha ha.If you say so, then so be it. 】
Seeing the young girl in front of him suddenly change from an anxious and pale look to a shy and joyful one full of radiance, he smiled tolerantly.
Since this kind of answer can make her happy, then... so be it.
But, thinking about it now, at that time, he didn't understand what mortal feelings were.Therefore, I had to answer in ambiguous terms.
Later, he gradually understood—he made that answer at that time, perhaps because, as a subordinate, as the sword awakened by the girl, he felt that he seemed unable to refuse the master's request that was not too much; That girl has never experienced the weak and warm, firm and stubborn, irresistible emotions that a mortal can produce.
However, what Shenmu Xiangzi failed to teach him back then, now he has fully understood.
Now, facing the person who taught him all this knowledge, he still habitually wants to deal with this difficult and difficult question with the attitude he used to have at first.
...But, is it the same situation now?
In his mind, she...is different from Kanmu Kyoko, right?
He said slowly: "...you are right."
That's right.
Yukiha-kun, I really...have been watching you all this time?
Although it's not like you said, I have always upheld the mood to treat you tenderly, maybe at the beginning, I just wanted to observe you, who seems to be different from other women, who is brave and Blind, as if he would give everything for a goal that you can never pursue without asking for anything in return, full of overpowering and foolish guy; but when did the feeling of leisurely looking down on this small mortal begin? It's slowly changing.
He looked down at the woman in front of him.
No, now, his looking down at her is just a natural visual movement due to the difference in height.It was completely different from before, when he watched her, he no longer had the kind of leisurely way of looking down on this tiny being called a mortal from the clouds, watching them produce feelings, greed, love, hatred, extravagant desires, etc. that he didn't understand. The distance and separation experienced when waiting for all kinds of empty and indescribable emotions.
Like mortals, he seems to have developed some greed now.However, he didn't seem to reject such a change from the bottom of his heart.
Why is this.
He stared at her, the stern look between his brows slowly softening.Asked in a low voice: "...so?"
So, do you have something else to tell me?
I am looking forward.
As he expected, she really responded to his expectations.
"So, even though saying that sounds a bit like flagging..."
Ahhh, she was saying something he couldn't quite understand again.However, when she saw her saying this, she suddenly burst out laughing because of her own words, and her expression became much warmer; so he didn't continue to pursue it, but smiled along with her.
"...However, I will come back properly." After she finished laughing, she raised her face and said to him without warning and very naturally.
"So far, as much as I've wanted to say something like this to someone, I've never really had the chance..."
She was saying something meaningful again that he didn't quite understand.However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.
because--
"I have things to do. When I finish those things, I will definitely come back here safely. Because there are people here who treat me very well..."
As she said so, she blinked suddenly, and a lovely blush appeared on her cheeks.
"I...I want to come back and find that person."
He was silent for a moment.
Then, he suddenly stretched out his right hand towards her——
The hand in the leather glove landed precisely on the top of her head, paused for a while, and gently rubbed her hair a few times.
"Hahahaha, very good, very good."
said the man.
