Chapter 859 [Chapter 4] 276
He expected that she might cleverly avoid this straightforward topic, such as "Aren't you the most beautiful among the five swords in the world? You have already attracted followers from all over the world", or "You have already There are so many people who love you, what do you want me to do with the admiration of an unqualified god-judgment who is about to lose Honmaru?" and so on——
Look, in fact, he also knows her very well.He had a smile on his face, but in fact, a sense of indifference slowly emerged in his heart, thinking so.
Didn't he see it with his own eyes?Even though he is one of the five swords in the world, a famous sword that even the last samurai from a poor family like Hijikata Toshizo could never achieve in his lifetime, what attracted her was not the famous sword that had been enshrined in the general's hand for a long time, but the one that was destined to blend in with his figure. A poor samurai who disappeared without a trace at sunset.
Even if the last samurai who was born as a medicine seller has disappeared, she will not be like other women, in order to seek spiritual, spiritual or life support, she will hastily turn to the noble son in the famous sword who looks like a nobleman in the palace. My lord.
How can I attract her?How can I hold her heart firmly in my own hands?How can we ensure that she can only run to him in the end and stay by his side?How can I make her think that he is the most special and unique one in the world—not as a "famous sword among famous swords", nor as a "god residing in the altar", but——
Even though he is a god-like lord with a godhead, he doesn't know any of the answers to these questions.
This kind of situation completely escaped his control and the sense of helplessness that he expected, made him feel a layer of irritability slowly.
He also knew that his current reaction was a bit unusual.However, even if he is a god, there are always some moments that he feels beyond his reach.
Now, is exactly that moment.
He knew that Qingyuan Xueye came to this so-called bureau today to negotiate and negotiate with the big figures of the bureau about his future.But the uncertainty of her future, the way she seemed unable to make up her mind until she went out, made him feel a pang of deep-seated anxiety.
And now, in such an impressive—and almost life-threatening, way for mere mortals, she abruptly left the room where she was meeting with the bigwigs of her new agency.
there, what happened? ... This question gradually occupied his thoughts.
His instinct told him that this question was very important.It's so important that if you don't figure out the answer, you won't be able to find the way to her heart.
Thinking of this, he really heard her answer - about the question just now.
She said: "...There have always been so many people who admire and are willing to follow you...so—"
Sanri Yue Zongjin suddenly felt a loss of interest.These back and forth that he once thought were a little bit interesting, where words and subtle details are mutually offensive and defensive, and each other wins and loses, and they move people's hearts between subtlety and innocence - or, in other words, manipulate people's hearts - give All the pleasant sense of confidence and superiority that he brought had suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly understood one thing.
The one who can look down on everything in this world with such ease and aloofness, quietly observe the relationship, interaction, emotion and entanglement between other people and other swords, and even put himself in a detached world without a trace Above the position of "eternal senior, eternal winner" - all this is because he doesn't really care about these things.
There is no one who really cares about what cannot be lost, and no one who really cares about what cannot be lost.He is gentle and kind, like a reliable life mentor who is relied on by everyone, and guides other people or swords who are hesitant at critical moments-this is only because he feels that he can transcend everything in front of him, not for the sake of others. Sadness and joy really affect your mood.
Although he is calm and strong, although he is wise and calm, he is looked up to by many people, relied on by many people, admired by many people, and cared by many people - but in the final analysis, under his gentle appearance, his The heart is too calm to produce a ripple.
He doesn't think he has any deep and firm bond with everyone in this world.
...until now.
For the first time, he couldn't help indulging himself to put aside his calm and rational thinking and his gentle and almost ruthless response, and blurted out her answer that sounded so insincere.
"So?" He smiled slightly, but there was a hint of indifference in his voice.
"What I want to say... Can Xueye-jun leave those beautiful words to others?" Unexpectedly, his next sentence turned out to be such a puzzling question.
Liu Quan's expression froze slightly, as if reading some unusual meaning from it for a moment, but she quickly twitched the corners of her lips slightly, as if she wanted to try her best to show a smile there as a response and muddle through.
It's a pity that it didn't work out.
The sun moved slowly across the sky above their heads.At this moment, it had moved to a position, and it happened to cast the shadow of a big tree behind them to this side.The dense branches and leaves formed mottled shadows, covering the two of them, embellishing the expression on Sanri Yue Zongjin's face even more unpredictable.
Liu Quan couldn't help blurting out a questioning monosyllable: "...ah?"
Sankai Yue Zongjin stood in front of her, lowered his eyes, and stared condescendingly at her awkward look made of doubts, and suddenly... very OOC, he asked her a very straightforward question.
"When you met the 'big shot' in that room just now, something terrible must have happened..." His voice was still faintly smiling, but the pair of eyes staring at her, The eyes with the crescent moon inside are calm, just like the cold moon hanging alone in the sky on a winter night.
"...Otherwise, you won't be so shaken that you will reveal emotions that are close to openings."
Liu Quan:! ! !
...I thought this old man would be as empathetic as he has been countless times in the past, and he will go to the point.Aren't you embarrassing young people with such sharp questions that pierce the heart and lungs, you, an old man from the Heian period? !
However, since she has already used skills such as [Pretending to be deaf and dumb], [Taking a look at him from left to right] and other skills to answer the question just now, and it didn't work - the opponent refused to accept the move and responded with [Knowing Blow] ——Then it means that if you are here today, if you don’t come up with some real chapters, it seems that you can’t pass the test.
Liu Quan sighed, and replied: "Fujisawa-kun did give me a good proposal... promotion and salary increase to reach the pinnacle of life... and I can also get rid of the second-hand Honmaru inherited from Ms. Hitomi. Shadow, maybe one day in the future, he can become a "big shot" like that guy Fujisawa who can influence the fate and future of others—"
Sanri Yuezong's eyes sharpened suddenly.After a while, he gave a silent ah and nodded slightly.
"I thought it was because of this..." he said slowly.
"Besides, you really seemed to mind this matter yesterday - Hitomi-kun returned to Honmaru, and you felt that there was suddenly no place for you to stay there." He said sharply.
Liu Quan: "..."
You must not know the meaning of the new word "renjianbuchai", old people from the Ping An Dynasty? !
...It's a pity that this old man doesn't seem to understand her inner roar at all.Or, he was deliberately ignoring her inner growl(?).
Mikazuki Zongjin continued to speak in a slow voice: "...but, since you have already arranged the cherry blossom viewing meeting before leaving Honmaru in the morning, you will no longer be really confused about the existence of Hitomi-kun. ——I That's what I thought."
Liu Quan:? !
She froze for a moment, then smiled and shook her head slightly.
Yes, he was right.
Regardless of whether she really wants to hold a Zenhonmaru cherry blossom viewing conference in her heart, at least, her words are equivalent to a certain degree of declaration, indicating that even though she is the successor, she has not yet planned to give up that Zohonmaru.It means that she believes that the Honmaru and the swords there should be under her command, because she is a better master and general, and also has the qualifications to make the swords loyal——
She coughed and replied, "...that's right."
After a pause, she still told the final result of her negotiation with Shoji Fujisawa.
"I don't want to be kicked away after I have put in so much effort—" she said with a smile, and there seemed to be a hint of half-joking and half-ghost in her tone.
"So I applied for Ms. Hitomi to go with the sword that is willing to serve her. Go out and set up another Honmaru. As for me, I will stay in the current Honmaru and not go anywhere—"
"...Oh~?!" Mikazuki Zongjin raised the ending sound again with great interest, and gave her an imaginative modal particle.
Liu Quan: "..."
Every time he uttered this syllable, she always felt that something was wrong.Today is no exception.
Sure enough, near the next sentence, Sanri Yuezong asked the question with interest:
"'Not going anywhere'??" He repeated what she had just said with a smile, as if it was so rare and precious for her to say it.
He didn't sound like he was at all purely happy that she'd said something like a promise.After a pause, he threw a straight ball that was so fast that it almost roared towards her face and hit her in the face.
"...I thought that the degree of wavering you showed just now must be because... Fujisawa-kun gave you an opportunity that you could hardly refuse."
Sanri Yuezong was talking leisurely, his tone sounded very leisurely, like a chat over tea; however, Liu Quan could hear a bit of danger from it, and immediately became subconsciously terrified to the point that his hairs stood on end—
However, it was too late for her to prevent him from uttering his most terrifying deduction.
In the next second, one of the five swords under heaven, based on extremely thorough insight and extremely keen intuition, uttered a terrifying inference that could almost kill her to the ground with a single sentence.
"That Fujisawa-kun, gave you a choice that was so tempting that you couldn't refuse it?...Let me guess. Could it be that he gave you a chance, so that you... can go back to the previous era, Are you going to meet Hijikata-kun or Saito-kun?"
Liu Quan:? !
Her heart stopped suddenly for a moment, and then jumped up again suddenly, hitting her chest at a speed ten times faster than before, almost breaking out from there!
The author has something to say:
February 1:
My fever seems to be getting better...but the cold seems to be getting worse...
This chapter wants to use some space to write about grandpa’s perspective and his inner changes.If there is an OOC or a dead logic, please point it out graciously, and I will modify it after I recover.
The list of thanks will be added later today.
