Chapter 13: Old Friends
The snow and fog are gradually dissipating, and with the sun shining through the clouds for the first time in a long time, it is still a good day in Tokyo.
It was a straight, shaded path with good sunshine, and the students walked by the side in heavy cotton jackets, but still vibrant.
The boy stood at the end of the road and looked out over the town.
It's a seaside town more than 200 kilometers from Tokyo, away from the bustling city, and the streets of the town still have the feel of the fifties of the last century, lined with wooden Japanese-style houses, but there are also a few three-story buildings occasionally.
The town is facing the sea, next to the mountain peaks, the weather is clear, the view is very clear, and you can also see several mountain trains slowly rising here. In spring and summer, you can still see the dense canopy of trees next to the train tracks, but even in winter, you can see a few cherry blossoms in full bloom.
"Hello, I'm very sorry, do you see this is a kitten?"
The boy turned his head and saw a girl standing there with a "cat search notice", looking at the costume should be a nearby student, fifteen years old, with tension and patience on her face, and a girl's unique youthfulness.
"It's called Xiaoyu, have you seen it?"
This cat named Xiaoyu is a black and white folded ear cat, the small one looks very cute, on the cat search notice, it is a selfie of the girl holding the cat in front of her, and in the sunset, the girl and the cat rolled on the lawn, showing a happy smile.
The boy smiled, nodded politely, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here for the first time today, and I haven't seen Xiaoyu. ”
"Oh, that's a pity...... "The girl's eyes were dejected, but she still looked around.
"Are you here for a tourist? My name is Ogawa Moe, I'm offended, I've seen you standing here since just now, is there anything I can do to help you?"
What a kind girl, who lost her beloved pet and still extended a helping hand to the confused tourists, such a girl must be an angel descending to earth, revealing a golden light all over her body.
"Hehe, okay, I'm looking for a "two-in-one" gym, do you know where Moe-chan is?"
Maybe it was because of the name being called by a stranger, Xiao Chuanmeng blushed, lowered his head and pursed his lips, peeked at the handsome and handsome boy in front of him, secretly changed a few breaths, and said, "Well, it's over there, you can see it if you walk down this cherry blossom rain trail." ”
"Sakura Rain Trail? Sounds like a meaningful name. ”
"That's right, as long as it's the rainy season here, it rains with cherry blossoms, and it's the kind of rainy season mixed with cherry blossoms, which is very beautiful and ...... Troublesome, hehe, it will be very troublesome to sweep up. The trail is flanked by cherry blossom trees, hence the name of the cherry blossom trail. ”
The boy nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "Thank you so much for telling me this beautiful story." ”
Xiao Chuanmeng blushed, looked at the bag the boy was carrying behind him, shook his teeth and said, "Are you going to learn kendo?" I heard from the elders that it is very strict there, and many travelers who come to find it have suffered. ”
"Yes, I'll try it, and if it doesn't work, I'll go back. Aren't you still going to find Xiao Yujun?
"Oh, by the way, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, uh, I don't know your name yet......"
"My name is Yi, it's good if you call Yi. ”
"Yi, Yijun, is a rare surname. Xiao Chuanmeng silently read the name in his heart, then ran a few steps into the distance, waved his hand, and said, "I wish Yijun a smooth success." ”
"I wish you could find Xiaoyu too. ”
In this way, the morning episode ended happily, looking at the figure of the girl leaving, the boy who called himself "Yi", shook off the blood on the folding knife, the red blood droplets were thrown out, and the liquid was mixed with a few lines of white hair, and after a while, the folding knife was put into the cuff, and the boy turned and left.
"Xiaoyu...... Great name, but alas, I don't like critters. ”
......
......
The boy came to the gym and glanced at the huge wooden sign hanging in the air, "Two in one". The wooden sign as a whole was black, and there were not only traces left by the wind and rain on it, but also a few deep knife marks, I don't know what he thought, and the corners of the boy's mouth rose.
Knocking on the door, he asked, "Excuse me, anyone?"
It wasn't long before the wooden sliding door was pulled open from the inside, and it was a young man with a grim face and a tall head, and the boy saw that he needed to put his head up completely.
"What's the matter?"
"Tell Miyamoto Tsuyoshi that your emperor is back. ”
"What!?Who are you??How dare you know the name of the head of the house?Don't think about leaving without an explanation!," said the young man, who reached out and grabbed the boy.
The boy frowned slightly, and the next moment, he saw a bang coming from the front door!
Several people in the house rushed out when they heard the sound, and before they could see what was happening, they saw the black shadow pressing down, and a huge object smashed towards them, and several people were smashed over for a while, they were all students who came to the Taoist hall to study, and no one expected such a thing to happen.
It was not an "object", it was the young man who went to open the door, and at this time he was unconscious on the ground, with blood stains on the corners of his eyes, ears, and mouth, which was very miserable.
"Who dares to do it here!"
Several people in black robes rushed out, and unlike the previous ones, they looked like people at the level of a gym teacher.
At the same time, the dust gradually cleared, and the boy walked in slowly, and said helplessly: "It's good to pass on a word, why do you want to do it? Why?"
"Who?"
"I'm looking for Tsuyoshi Miyamoto, huh...... As for who I am, hehe, I'm just a kicker. ”
"Kick the gym? Do you know where this is? This is a "two-in-one" gym! Not everyone can kick it! Come here today, don't think about leaving!"
The boy said in Huaxia: "Fool. The next moment, the backpack fell off, and a black katana was exposed to the air, I don't know if it was a mental effect, I felt that the appearance of this knife, the surrounding air became moist.
"Look at that knife, it doesn't look like an ordinary person......" said the man next to the shouting man.
"Well, I was outside the door just now, and I don't know what he did, so Oizumi-kun flew out. ”
The shouting man came back to his senses, thought for a while, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Excellency, please wait inside, and I will inform the master of the family." ”
The boy shrugged, "No problem, after all, I don't want to kill more people today." ”
Several people looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the museum, and the backpack on the ground that the boy picked up did not put the katana in, but took the knife in one hand and the bag in the other, and calmly walked up the steps.
Inside the hall, the head of the Miyamoto family had already heard the movement outside the house, and when he saw that everyone looked panicked, he asked loudly, "Why are you so panicked, what happened?"
"Someone outside the house wants to see you, and directly report your name, saying that they are here to kick the gym. ”
Miyamoto just frowned, just wanted to be angry, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "What kind of person is he?"
"Very young, probably just an adult, carrying a katana, which we have never seen. ”
"Katana, katana, katana......" Miyamoto just repeated these three words, his face changed, he stood up suddenly, and walked quickly to the back door, but before he could touch the handle, he stopped again.
"Alas, you guys go first, let everyone go, the gym closes early today. ”
"The head of the house, this ......"
"Don't ask, tell me to go down, by the way, tell Yumi, hasn't she always wanted to go to Huaxia? I'll take her with me when I come back today." ”
Like a samurai who had been silent for a long time, he slowly straightened his waist, his wide kimono moved with the wind, and the people in the room dispersed, and he slowly walked to the statue on the side.
It was a demon carved out of bluestone, with three heads and six arms, a hideous face, sharp fangs, and on its teeth, a katana was quietly placed.
As soon as Miyamoto picked up the knife, the shadows in the room kept flickering.
......
......
The large hall is surrounded by Japanese-style sliding doors, the floor is made of solid mahogany, and the walls are decorated with portraits of the heads of the Miyamoto family from various eras.
The boy sat on his knees, like a guest waiting for his master to come out, straightened his back, a smile on his lips, and beside him, the black katana.
"I should have guessed it was you. ”
Miyamoto's voice came out, followed by a slow and progressive pace, and he walked slowly, slower than ever.
"Hehe, long time no see, head of the Miyamoto family. ”
"I don't want to see you......" Miyamoto just smiled helplessly, he should be fifty or sixty years old, but he showed childlike helplessness.
Miyamoto looked at the boy and slowly knelt down in front of him, also putting the knife aside.
"I have known the news of [Dugu's] coming to Japan for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would come in person. The age difference between the two is obviously dozens of years, but when they talk about the sky, they are like a pair of old friends who have not met for a long time.
"Well, there was an important person who wanted to bring it back, so he came in person. ”
"You can also have important people?"
"Haha, that's the people from the hospital...... You know. ”
"Huh?" Miyamoto just frowned, as if he didn't have the impression of this person, he tried to remember. Fifteen years ago, there was no secret list at that time, YF reagents were very rare, and like other families, in order to find the most suitable candidate for injection, he chose to go to Huaxia, and it was there that he met the boy in front of him.
It was a psychiatric hospital, big, dilapidated, surrounded by dead trees, and it looked like an abandoned place, with a lot of skinny kids in it, all trying to test candidates for the YF test.
And the boy is one of them. He still remembered the boy's eyes at that time, which were completely different from now, revealing coldness and unyieldingness.
He called himself emperor, and yes, he was an "emperor", an emperor that even the head of the Miyamoto family could not conquer.
"Give you this knife, can you spare my family?"
The boy thought for a moment and smiled, "Of course it's no problem, but Miyamoto-sensei, after so many years, I want you to see if my sword skills have improved." ”
"Hehe......" Miyamoto just smiled self-deprecatingly.
The sword and sword shadow are the real duel between the two samurai.
