Chapter 863 [Chapter 4] 280
Mikazuki Zongjin:! ?
Rarely, one of the five swordsmen under heaven showed a look of surprise on his face.
For a moment, he seemed to want to ask "what happened to that person", because things like [the predecessor has passed away] would never happen to everyone, and he didn't believe that he could get someone who she took so seriously People can suddenly become villainous bosses; so that's -- there's some sort of irresistible force at work?Let that big man's promise become a falsehood?
…However, at the end, he just let out an indiscernible humming laugh, and didn't say anything bad, such as "So you only came to me because you were desperate elsewhere" or "Since this is the case, you should give up."
It seems that he can see what he didn't ask - even in the midst of rage, he still maintains a certain kind of calm reason, knowing that some words are not suitable to speak out directly to poke people's hearts; His thoughtfulness seems to be one of his little-known strengths that make people feel soft-hearted——The female judge blinked her eyes, and her tone seemed to soften a little inexplicably, becoming a little gentler.
"I, in his favor." She said in an astonishingly frank tone.
"He was the first person to tell me that I have strengths too... the first person to take action to rebuild my self-confidence and guide my direction. I am sorry to miss such a person."
Sanriyue Zongjin: "..."
He was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking about; the five fingers of his left hand that were holding the tip of her hair seemed to be slowly tightened unconsciously, slightly hurting her, but she didn't make a sound.
Then, he slowly raised his eyes again, staring at her through the phantom in the mirror.His famous pair of eyes with the shape of a crescent moon seemed to be covered by dark clouds at this moment, presenting an almost black dark blue, bottomless.
"I'm listening," he said unexpectedly slowly.
He didn't smile and say ridicule words, and he didn't say any words that were so deep that they hurt people's heart. Among the five swords in the world, the most beautiful, noble, and most beloved one stood quietly. Behind the female examiner, staring at her figure in the mirror, he said word by word:
"...You, have you finally started to tell me the real truth?"
"That's good."
He paused.
"Mr. Xueye," he lowered his voice, his deep and magnetic voice was simply breathtaking.
"Tonight is special. . . . If you have a secret, I can listen to it."
"It doesn't matter how embarrassing...or ugly the truth is."
"...As long as that's what you said to me, I'll listen to you carefully."
"……do you understand?"
The Goddess was silent for a long time.She quietly looked back at the most admirable of the five swordsmen in the world from the mirror.
Finally, she slowly raised the corners of her lips.
"Although I feel sorry, I also said goodbye to him well."
Without warning, she began to describe what had happened in that room that day.
"I also deeply understand the ideals and righteousness he wants to teach me..."
"I feel that I can say that I have a clear conscience... I have worked hard enough all the time, and I feel that the self I have so far is worthy of being favored by him, and I have not failed the righteousness he has kept and maintained—"
She choked up a bit when she said this, but the tears only flashed in her eyes.In dim light indoors, it may not be noticeable.
"That's it." She raised her chin slightly, as if to hide the fleeting tears, her voice sounded a little stiff.
"This is a simple story... and things can only go like this now. Fortunately, there is a beginning and an end; what I want to convey has been well conveyed..."
Five Swords Under Heaven was silent for a long time.
Then, he chuckled under his breath.
It was different from his usual "ah ha ha ha ha" magical laughter, this time his laughter seemed to come from the depths of his throat, it was low and somewhat depressing, as if he wanted to use that kind of laughter Laughter to forcefully suppress the ferocious monster hidden in the heart, preventing it from coming out to make trouble or destroy the world——
"Hehehehehe—" He laughed softly, and slowly leaned down again to get close to her ear; but this time he stopped near the back of her neck, raised his left hand to squeeze the hair The tip of the hair held in his hand was passed to his nose, as if he was taking a deep breath to identify the aroma of the shampoo she used, and as if he was touching the scent with fresh fragrance and light water vapor with his lips. A kiss on the long hair.
This kind of action full of love and compassion seemed to horrify the female examiner for a moment; in her reflection in the mirror, she could clearly see that her eyes widened suddenly, but her body stiffened and she did not dare to move. moving.
"Remember? Mr. Xueye." He said slowly.
Because he was close to the back of her neck, the breath he exhaled this time lingered in her most sensitive and ticklish range; but she didn't even dare to shrink her neck, relying entirely on the intuition of a small animal Rubbing his back, for fear of offending the usually gentle and elegant opponent behind him, who is actually powerful and dangerous.
"Remember... what?" she stammered.
Mikazuki Zongjin smiled.
He approached the back of her neck, and this action made his left face reflected in the mirror almost completely blocked by her, only the right face was exposed.He suddenly lowered his head and kissed the white back of her neck that was exposed because the ends of her hair were lifted up, and then raised his eyes to look in the mirror.The expression in the exposed right eye was deep and unpredictable.
"That day, after the battle in front of Sensoji Temple... In order to save your life, I once suggested that I should hide from you." He suddenly said in an extremely polite tone—even though his thin lips were still intimately He hovered near the back of her neck, touching her skin intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.
Liu Quan tried his best to tighten his facial expression, and responded rigidly: "...Yes, yes. I still remember..."
Sanri Yue Zongjin suddenly sighed.
"At that time, in order to convince you to agree to my proposal, I even told you... I can allow you to return to the present world and stay by the side of the person you think is important, even if it takes a little longer..."
Liu Quan: "Yes, is it...?"
Mikazuki Zongjin slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Hey~ After all, the lifespan of a mortal is limited. Ten years, twenty years... no matter how long it is, it is just a short moment in the eyes of the gods." He said cold words with a smile.
"I said, you can return to the God Realm after that... I don't care if you set aside a short time for those short-lived mortals—"
Following what he said, Liu Quan's face slowly darkened.In the mirror, her reflection was the same as herself, she slowly lowered her shoulders, raised her head, and looked at Sanka Yue Zongjin's only exposed right eye from the mirror.
"Really..." She replied with a sigh.
"If you think about it carefully, you will feel your consideration for me..."
"This is...how generous. Why did I decline such kindness in the first place, probably...maybe because the world cannot survive without sacrificing one person...?"
Sanri Yuezong snorted and laughed.
"So, in the final analysis, you rejected me once for Saito-kun's safety."
Before Liu Quan could say "I didn't have one" in his defense, he continued with a grin.
"Before, in Hakodate, you abandoned me there in order to save Hijikata-kun..."
"And now, you are honestly telling me that there is actually someone as important as them—"
He sighed a long time, suddenly closed his eyes, and bit the back of her neck lightly as if in revenge.
"I've changed my mind," he said suddenly.
Liu Quan:? !
For a moment she thought he was going to say something like "I don't like you anymore" or "I'm planning to leave this Honmaru, you should think about how to summon another 'Mikazuki Zongjin'"; but he raised his head , let go of her long hair, and put her hands lightly on her shoulders instead.
"I don't intend to give you that kind of opportunity, let you come back to me after spending decades with other people to your heart's content." He said coldly.
"Mr. Xueye is a cruel person...why can't you just choose me from the beginning like everyone else~" He sighed leisurely, as if there was a hint of accusation in his tone.
"Like everyone else, you only looked at me with admiration from the very beginning... instead of turning around to look at me after everything is over like now—"
"Five swords in the world, is that just in your eyes?"
"...No!!" Liu Quan blurted out.
Intuition kicks in before reason and cool thinking come into play.She blurted out his cold accusation.
"...I didn't come back because I was desperate elsewhere."
She looked directly at him standing behind her through the mirror.
"I'm not the kind of willful and irresponsible person who narcissistically believes that even if I do too much, I can be forgiven and accepted..."
"In my opinion, I will come back only after I have properly ended the fetters of the past."
"Because you want to treat Sankayue sincerely... just like Sankayue has always treated me—isn't it possible?"
Sanri Yuezong was slightly taken aback.A layer of astonishment appeared on the pretty face.A moment later, his left hand on her left shoulder suddenly pushed hard, and at the same time, his right hand pushed her right shoulder back——
Unprepared, she was led around half a circle by him, and now she was standing facing him.
His hand slid to her beautifully curved jaw, gently stroking the skin there.
Then, he flattened the five fingers of his right hand and put them together, slowly stroking her slightly opened lips.
"Mr. Xueye, you are always able to say shocking words—" he whispered like a sigh.
"But what I said, no matter how beautiful it is, it seems that it is not enough to really shake Mr. Xueye—"
His intoxicatingly beautiful voice fell to a whisper.
"That's not fair."
