His gaze fell to her hands propped up on the ground at his side.

It wasn't a pair of delicate white hands. He knew that if that hand was turned over, he could still see a shallow layer of cocoons in his palm that had been sharpened by holding the sword for a long time. His gaze went up her right arm, and finally on her right upper arm.

Although it was now covered by thin clothing, he knew that during the investigation mission of the Eiroku Change, she was slashed by the sudden fall of the "Three Days and Moon Sect" in Nijo Castle, and it was there.

She has never been the kind of flower who likes to live in a greenhouse and is well cared for. As she once described herself, she is a wildflower that grows and blooms wherever the wind blows.

He stared at her arm—the hand she used to hold the knife on the side—and finally sighed silently, and stretched out his left hand, slowly covering the back of her right hand, which was still propped up on the floor of the hallway.

Then, his gaze slowly rose again, to her face.

"Lovers"——?

So many years have passed, so many things have happened, and she has finally admitted that she is her "lover" after all those who meet and leave along the way.

He heard his own voice, softly ringing.

"So...... One of the criteria for being a lover should it include telling each other their real name?"

He smiled, listened to his calm and harmless voice, hid the anxiety in his heart, and asked:

"Do you want to be my lover forever under a pseudonym, Yukiba, shouldn't I know who I love?"

Liu Quan was slightly stunned.

This is a - send proposition...... ?

She looked at the Manyo cherry tree in the garden, looked at the laughing and noisy people in the garden, and the sunlight fell through the dense branches of the Manyo cherry tree, casting a sparkling light on the green grass under the tree.

And the song in the courtyard that loops infinitely is still echoing.

[If you can get through the cold winter.]

Hold on tightly

Ideals that rise far away

It will be in the days to come

Blooming

In the shape of a flower】

Liu Quan closed his eyes, slowly held his breath, and then opened his eyes and slowly exhaled the suffocating breath that was entrenched in his chest.

How long can this kind of time last from now on? Whether it's fighting or being hidden, one day it will be a topic that can't help but face.

Just like the wishful thinking of the original lady Kannahiko, who once thought that she could be forever young, forever willful, and forever pampered, but the wheels of time rolled forward, and she gradually grew old, gradually declined, and gradually despaired, but still had to look at the young and handsome as yesterday, and always so gentle and detached, obedient and tolerant to meet her every request, but made her feel more and more dissatisfied day after day— Such fear will slowly kill a woman who was originally looking forward to the future, right?

Liu Quan took another deep breath.

She's not going to be like that. She wouldn't allow herself to be like that. She is not afraid of her ugly posture, because she has experienced how embarrassed, ugly, and struggling postures she has experienced on the battlefield in the past, and the man in front of her has also seen -

From the majestic "Wolves of Mibu" on the streets of Kyoto to the end of the road in the Hakodate wilderness......

From the noble daughter of Genji who dressed in the "Twelve Orders" costume and entered the solemn Hiraizumi Taisha Shrine to complete the wedding, to the murderer who dressed as an undersized teenager and ran through the streets of Edo late at night to hunt rakshasas......

From the ruthless God Inquisitor who perched high on the house and shot at his former lover to prevent him from winning, to the poor worm who ran in the countryside outside Aizu Castle and watched the Fu Fu God under his command fade away from human form and return to his body because of his lack of spiritual power, and finally even he had to turn into a rakshasa to avoid the fatal injury-

Oh, now that I think about it, the Three Days Moon Sect has actually seen her different images in almost all different scenes.

The song in the courtyard sang:

[Past and future.]

Always with a smile on your face

It's like a miracle that won't go away

When it is in full bloom

Just keep yourself in the way you should

Walking on their own paths】

Oh, yes.

The gods who incarnate from the sword, the gods who are high up and kind and detached......

Eventually, she descended to a mortal like her, and, before she knew it, she was just as expectant, warm, adoring, and deeper desire/hope as a mortal—

With all this, what will the future look like, and what does it matter?

Maybe one day she will be unable to bear her aging face, maybe one day the "non-current World Authority" will squeeze her so that she can't bear it anymore, or maybe one day she will be tired and can no longer fight......

At that time, "Shen Yin" is not an unacceptable thing, right?

Hitomi Gojo had said that she didn't want to follow a spirit back to the divine realm, like being an inconsequential concubine of a samurai.

That's true.

She wouldn't let herself be a simple concubine who lived by the gods.

Even if the worst situation is that after being hidden by the gods and following the spirit to reach the divine realm, the spirit is recovered by the main body, and she goes from "occupying all of the spirit in the heart" to "not knowing the thousands and hundredths of the spirit that appears in the mind because of the return of the spirit of the spirit", then it doesn't matter.

She has met those people who shine incomparably in her brilliant life, those lights that have always been tenderly present in the depths of her memories, those lights that guide her to keep moving forward, those that as long as she remembers and guards those memories well, they will never be taken away by any other external force - the pillar of the soul will always accompany her, support her, and encourage her to move forward indomitably, right?

In the myth of neon, there are gods who have died, and there are gods who have fallen into demons. It can be seen that there are times when gods cannot achieve their wishes - no different from mortals.

However, as a judge of the gods for a long time, one day when she was too weak to go out of battle, to handle official duties, or even to maintain the existence of the god of mourning, she had to retire to the mortal world, which was almost two hundred years after her birthtime. At that time, will the "Non-Current World Administration" still allow the Three Days Moon Sect to exist next to her?

Liu Quan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It's nerve-wracking......" she said.

Then, without waiting for the Three Days Moon Sect to comment on her words, she simply pulled out her right hand neatly from under the cover of his palm.

Three days Yue Zongjin's face changed suddenly.

However, before he could get angry, he saw her raise the middle finger of her right hand, her lips squirm and say something silently.

Three Days and Moon Sect Near: "......"

He remembered for a moment what Daihanna Nagamitsu had mentioned after returning to Honmaru during a certain dinner party, as if by chance during a casual conversation—

“...... If it weren't for Xue Ye-kun's use of that kind of disguise in a moment...... Uh, 'Spell' - the two of us can only cling to that too small shadow, and we can't hide our whereabouts at all, and we will be discovered~"

At that time, the annoying new member of the Longship faction said with a meaningful smile and a tone that was both appreciative and ostentatious.

Enchantment...... That is, a type of spell, right?

The spell that disguises the figure, the spell that hides the voice...... In addition to excellent swordsmanship, how many other incredible skills does she know.

Now, then, is her puzzling gesture also intended to disguise her figure — or her voice?

He thought so, watching her quietly, waiting for her to follow.

She did drop her right hand after that gesture, and although she didn't put her right hand back into the palm of his left hand, she gave a surprising answer with a crisp and crisp answer.

“Izumi。 She said.

Three days and moon sect near: "...... What?"

Sure enough, she raised her gaze and smiled at him. This time, a simple explanation was added.

"It's 'Spring'. She said with a smile.

"My name. ”

Three Days and Moon Sect Near: "......"

This time, he was sure that the gesture and the spell she had just uttered were used to mask her voice.

Because what she gave is undoubtedly her real name, right?!

His pupils widened slightly, staring at her face for a long time before he slowly curled his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips.

“Izumi...... ? He read the word slowly, and the smile on his lips gradually became a little funny and playful.

"Miss Quan......" he prolonged the last note and repeated the name. This time, he added an honorific title to his name.

He heard her hum and looked back at him with crooked eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

"What a surprise~" He said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to tell me your real name so simply~"

Then, he saw her eyes flash. A sly look flashed through those dark crystal-like pupils.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he knew that she had deliberately looked at him so sly and proudly, with those sparkling eyes—

“...... So, what about your last name?" he asked bluntly, suddenly losing interest in fighting with her.

"Izumi—" he repeated the name.

There's actually a word in the same name as Izumi Mamoru. No wonder he takes care of Izumi Mamoru with that kind of attitude of an older sister tolerating her younger brother—right?

He frowned slightly.

Hmph, unpleasant. Very unpleasant.

Yet she didn't seem to mind his unpleasantness.

"Isn't one name enough to make you happy, Three Riyue?" she tilted her head slightly, and looked at him mischievously and slyly.

Then, her tone changed, adding something half-joking, half-tentative.

"Even if ...... Isn't it enough to risk being hidden by you, and then becoming 'one of the samurai's concubines' that Hitomi said—and I also gave up my real name?"

Three days and moon sect near:!?

His eyes widened slightly in surprise for a moment.

But then, he realized that the issue was finally officially put between the two of them by her.

Hidden.

The reason why she candidly asked this question is to show that she has actually thought about this question well, right?

Moreover, she only said her first name, but not her last name, also because...... She still has her own thoughts and concerns about "being hidden", right?

Saying your name to show your sincerity, hiding your surname to avoid losing your initiative - is it really like what a thoughtful, reliable, independent, determined, and powerful woman would do?

April 20:

There is definitely a big sugar before HE!

However, in this chapter, I think that since it is the truth line, we should discuss the issue of "hidden gods".

Speaking of which, I have a very bold idea about Shin Yin. Not so wonderful, of course.

Fu Fu's spirit may be gradually fused by the spirit after returning to the divine realm, and his feelings for his lover are gradually thinned out in the process of fusion, that is to say, after he completely returns to the spirit, he becomes one N part of the spirit, and his love for the lover 100% becomes one N part of the soul's feelings.

Thus, even if he can still exist in the body of the Spirit, his feelings are not enough for the Spirit to be extraordinarily enthusiastic and special to his lover.

If one spirit does not respond, there will always be other spirits who respond, and after responding, they will come to the present world and manifest, and will be bound to this knife until the end—that is, either the knife will be broken, or this Honmaru will be dissolved and become ownerless again.

The spirit will not remember what happened in the divine realm when he comes to this world.,Otherwise, all the people who are in love with the knife man will have to think about it carefully.。

Imagine that your wedding knife agrees to be your wedding knife while remembering the lover who was hidden by him before...... It's just horrible.

So I don't think they'll remember.

The moment he returns to the Divine Realm, he may regain all his memories in the Divine Realm, and then things will be very bad-

Shura Field. It must be Shura.

How can a god who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years be asked to remain pure and unloved before he meets you? In hundreds of thousands of years, will there not be a girl as good, so lovely, and so wonderful as you?

Of course, we can also continue to write a Xiuxian text with a girl as the protagonist [Hey!

The reason is that the girl worked hard to cultivate immortals in order to get the opportunity to stand by her grandfather's side as a god in 1v1, and finally ascended to the upper realm and became a god www

But when I think about it, the system of this god is not quite the same

Soundtrack for this chapter:It's still the ED song of the last episode of Hanamaru's first season.,Kiyomitsu and Stability's "いつ、何時も。

Well, then we'll continue tomorrow at 0:00

I'm thinking about the last big spoonful of candy before the end, but if that candy is going to be sent, it looks like grandpa is a bit OOC, do you think I should send it?
