Chapter 858 [Chapter 4] 275
Behind her, on the monitoring wall inlaid with countless light screens, many different pictures still flashed.
In those pictures, there are tennis courts under the bright sun; there are scenes of fighting in the street late at night, people in blue uniforms and civilian clothes - around them, on their swords and hands, it seems that there is still danger. There are blue and red flames; of course, there is also a scene of a group of people wearing light green haori on the streets of the Edo period rushing past with their knives...
However, all of that has been left behind by her.
Although she was well aware of all the images and faces shown on those light screens, she didn't look back.
There was a sharp and turbulent emotion churning in her chest, like waves that surged up and could not retreat, as if they were about to break through her chest.
Under the urging of this emotion, without any warning, she supported the upper edge of the window frame with one hand, stood up straight with strength, then jumped forward and jumped onto it—— from the top of the building, she pulled it obliquely. A banner celebrating the establishment of the brand new "Non-Real World Authority"!
Her magic wand was one of the preferential items for a series of skills and props that were urgently unlocked in order to secretly sneak into the main control room of the Government of Time—this is why her spiritual power was endless that night, but her various skills were so weak. The reason for using it without hindrance-now it has been taken back by Shoji Fujisawa.
And without the assistance of the wand, she cannot use some advanced spells-such as "apparition".
So now, if she wants to run directly from this height to the face of Fu Sangshen, the most beautiful of the five swordsmen in the world, she has no choice but to take a risk.
Of course, even though the tea break time had passed, there was still more than Sanri Yuezong staying there alone in the courtyard under the window.And her extremely dangerous behavior caused a burst of exclamation from the people in the courtyard.
However, the handsome young man standing in the middle of the crowd had a very calm expression.
Of course, the focus of their attention did not stop because of this.
The moment she jumped, her hair suddenly turned white.But what was brought about by the obviously abnormal white hair was not a mistake of being unable to do what one wanted.
On the contrary, she appeared to be more at ease. With the remaining strength of her leap, she swayed twice on the solid banner, stretched her arms, maintained her body balance, and slanted from the height of the banner like a glide. Sliding all the way - when some inertia could not maintain the speed of the descent, she was able to take a few small steps and re-accelerate, making her look like an adventurer walking a tightrope in the air at this moment, with an extremely chic posture .
The exclamations of the people in the courtyard gradually turned into exclamations and cheers, and they rang out in disorder.However, the expression on the face of that handsome young man in the blue safari gradually became colder.
At the end, with an almost expressionless face, he watched as she slid all the way down until she reached the bottom of the banner, jumped forward so lightly, and her feet hit the ground with a thump without incident.
He watched her lower her head to glance at the ground first, then raised her face, and grinned at him amidst the cheers of the crowd—as if nothing had happened.
He quietly watched her smile hugely at him with an expression that was too cold for a few seconds.Then, suddenly, he turned completely around, and without saying a word, he started to stride in her direction.
He strode up to her and looked down at her with no emotion on his face.
"Your landing is really impressive." He praised in a wonderful tone.
He saw her tilt her head, and then, her white hair suddenly turned back to black.
She smiled.
"Does it shock you?" she asked slyly.
Sankai Yuezong continued to reply in that wonderful tone with no expression on his face: "Oh, yes. It's really surprising to see you suddenly taking such a risky behavior that puts your life on the line for no reason."
After a pause, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So... what happened in that room upstairs? That's why you vent your emotions in such a wayward and risky way, and you can't wait for a moment?"
Instead of squinting his eyes to emphasize his anger, he noticed that her pupils dilated slightly after he said this, as if surprised.
Then, she laughed and said in a smooth tone: "... something important happened~ that's why I came here."
The wording of this sentence sounds a bit weird, and of course Sanri Yue Zongjin, who has always been as careful as a hair, cannot miss it.
He frowned slightly, trying to calm down the surprise, worry and anger in his heart just now when he saw her slide down such a piece of fabric from a high place in a desperate manner, and showed his usual gentleness again. An expression that is enough to paralyze the defenses of others.
"...Tell me." His magnetic voice sounded calm and gentle, as if he had regained his usual image of a caring and reliable elder (?) in Honmaru.
"Is there anything important that would make you rather jump off the stairs directly?" There was actually a hint of soft joking in his voice, as if he was tolerant and concerned at the same time. Soothe her emotions - this kind of performance really couldn't be more perfect.
...It looks like a perfect and elegant nobleman, you can't tell at all that there is a black mud rolling inside this person, can you?
For some reason, this thought made Liu Quan burst out laughing.
Sanri Yuezong's eyes flickered slightly.Although he still looked at her with a smile and patiently waited for her to answer, but the moment his eyes flickered, a certain anxiety called displeasure and the situation was out of his control seemed to come out of him.
"What do you want to say, Mr. Xueye?" He asked with a smile—but Liu Quan could almost tell from his changed address that her delay in avoiding talking about what happened in that office was almost coming to an end. Destroy the bottom line of his patience.
...how strange.Thinking back, when they first met—even a few months ago, after she had become the lord of the Honmaru where he was for a while—she still felt that this white-and-black old man in front of her was difficult to understand and dangerous, even though He also seemed so unapproachable around him; every time he was with him, he used up all the few brain cells in him.
But now, she can even accurately predict his current emotions from the slightest changes in his eyes, expressions, tone, and movements.That's an amazing big step forward, isn't it?
The thought made her smile deepen.She simply abandoned those tricks (?) of making a fuss with him, and said bluntly: "I was thinking, you used to attract ignorant girls like this, and let everyone open up to you without knowing it. trust you?"
Sanri Yuezong was almost taken aback. "……What?"
The content of this sentence is actually a bit provocative, but when she said it with a smile, there was a sense of playfulness in an instant, and——
It's half narrow, half intimate.
As if he was sure that even if he said that, he would not be abandoned by him, knowing that he was well pampered by him, so occasionally biting him with his sharp teeth would be regarded as some kind of Like a coquettish child in the world - until this moment, he didn't notice that when she stood in front of him, with her arms stretched behind her back and her head slightly raised to speak to him, with the extension of her words and emotions, she His head was also slightly tilted playfully, and a small dimple was floating on the corner of his lips.
For the first time, that kind of demeanor made people feel that she was no longer the high-ranking, dignified, and courageous general or lord, but she was like the kind of ignorant girl she just described in her words?
This sudden thought made him almost throw away the gentle mask firmly covering his face, and burst out laughing.
Count it—since they met, so many years have passed, so many people have met and left, and even experienced the sinister scene of facing each other with swords and fighting life and death; she once threatened him with hypocritical tenderness Let go, he also mercilessly swiped at her chest and abdomen...
Time, love and hate, meeting and parting, victory or defeat, life and death... After they have experienced so much together, she is still in front of him, tilting her head and smiling playfully, looking at him like a cat stretching out its small sharp claws. He spoke provocative words; as if like a... living ignorant girl, as if as she said—waiting for him to attract, to subdue, to use various means to make her open her heart to him—
It's just... unbelievable.
Sanri Yuezong lowered his gaze, stared at Liu Quan's face, then slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
This time, the smile seemed to come out of his eyes—the famous crescent-shaped pupils had no sense of scrutiny, nor of coldness, nor of aloofness and looking down. The distant meaning of all beings; the pupils of the eyes seemed to be extremely bright, reflecting the crescent moon with light.
Then, he actually nodded and replied:
"Hahaha... Maybe it's really like this."
Following his devilish and familiar laughter, Liu Quan also laughed out loud, as if he was very happy.
"If it was in the past..." She dragged her voice and said narrowly, "Maybe you would have to say something like 'So are you attracted to me'..."
After a short meal, Sanri Yuezong let out another burst of hahaha laughter.
"Hahaha, it seems to be very reasonable." He responded as if he was doing good (?), "It seems that I should add this sentence——"
His laughter stopped suddenly, and his eyebrows were slightly lowered.
"Then Xueye-jun, are you attracted to me?"
