In the quiet of the night, the magnetic voice of the Three Days Moon Sect echoed in the bedroom that seemed to suddenly seem cramped.

For some reason, even though he was half-lying and she was standing at the moment, she was the one looking down on him condescendingly—yet his aura seemed to cover the entire room for a moment, showing an overwhelming and involuntarily convincing momentum.

At this moment, his presence seemed to expand infinitely, until it filled the entire room, as if he was about to rush to her, and his smile and words were slowly enlarged in front of her eyes until they occupied her mind.

For a moment, Liu Quan felt that he couldn't say a word.

As the words of the Three Moons came out, her eyes seemed to reappear in front of her on the battlefield outside the Nyorai Hall, in the intertwining of the rubble, black smoke and fire from the cannonballs falling on the mountains, and he said the line of serious injury from the original work, and walked out of the explosion and gunsmoke that was almost impossible for anyone to survive, and spread his hands in front of her, so that she could see the scene of the broken Gomori Ji.

Ahhhh Could it be that scene is what he said, that there is such a person who understands her choice when she is ugly, tolerates her suffering, and fights for her with all his might?

Almost at the same time, however, another scene came back to her memory.

It was outside the Sensoji Temple, where the wind was raging and the earth was shaking, and when the foundations of that world were inevitably shaking, as if the whole world was about to collapse, it was as if a solid castle was crumbling and collapsing, and she resolutely sent her chest to the blade of his main sword, the famous sword that had been admired and admired by everyone for more than a thousand years, and slashed her flesh and pierced her heart that belonged to Rakshasa—

In the end, what came out of his mind was a rough shouting from Izumi Morikane, to hide his annoyance.

[Who, who would want to sleep with someone who stabbed him!]

Liu Quan slowly curled the corners of his lips.

Facing the almost overwhelming, calm and powerful aura of the Three Days Moon Sect, she slowly-

Said something unadorable, unpleasant.

"You say that because...... Have you ever stabbed me? ”

Hearing her answer, the light in the crescent-shaped eyes of the Three Sun Moon Sect suddenly brightened.

Then, he still looked straight at her gaze, not at all as if he was empty-hearted, just lifted the thin quilt, stood up, and walked in front of her step by step.

For some reason, as he stood up and approached her, she stepped back as he approached her, as if trying to get out of his control, but the room was limited, and after taking a few steps backwards, her back slammed against the door of the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe in the corner.

Looking at her unavoidable embarrassment, the Three Days Moon Sect did not stop. The corners of his lips slowly approached her with a smile that seemed to be high up and down, and finally stopped a step in front of her.

When he stood up, the difference in height between the two was reversed in an instant. Now, it was he who looked down on her condescendingly, and the breath of both men seemed to tense with this unyielding gaze.

He stared at her so deeply, without saying a word, that she could not retreat from the cold door, a situation that undoubtedly put more and more pressure on her, and at last she spoke as if she had to be intimidated by that pressure.

“…… At that time at Hakodate, when we parted......" She blinked slowly, as if a little embarrassed or embarrassed, but finally told the truth that was in the way.

"Even if ...... You kissed me and didn't really do anything to me...... Special emotions for it. ”

She hesitated, carefully choosing her words, as if for a moment she wanted to look away because she couldn't stand the pressure of his scorching stares, but she barely held on because of her unspeakable pride, and continued to look back at his face with a faint smile but as if covered with an iron mask.

"Later...... In front of Sensoji Temple, you didn't hesitate to swing your sword at me. ”

Sanri Moon Zongjin was still looking down at her with a smile, the smile on his face did not move at all, as if he had no intention of opening his mouth to defend himself.

Liu Quan felt that the next words seemed to be more and more difficult to speak, but she still had to say them, because she felt that she was already afraid of the kind of kiss that was based on emotion in the name of increasing spiritual power—

"You've seen me at my worst, and you've seen me chase another person's back......"

"Under your watchful eye, I've failed, I've tried my best, I've fallen in secret, and I've even become that terrible monster—"

Liu Quan raised his eyes, stared directly at the crescent moon eyes that seemed to suck her divine soul into the Three Sun Moon Sect, and took a deep breath.

"We've fought side by side, we've fled outnumbered battles together, we've fought each other, I've cut off your arm, you've stabbed me in the heart......"

"At the end of the day, in retrospect, I didn't even actually summon you, nor did I give you the physical ...... you had when you took on a human form."

She looked up at his handsome face, and finally said the deepest questions buried in her heart word by word.

"It's not that I'm presumptuous...... But I don't think I've shown anything precious enough to make you choose my virtues or benefits without hesitation, at any time?"

While it's embarrassing to discuss your weaknesses with such a high-minded, elusive and dangerous opponent, there's nothing to fear when you say it. Liu Quan's pace of speech was smoother.

“…… I don't even have the spiritual power constitution that I was born with. Unlike the masters you have met, and unlike the inquisitors you have met who can give you human form......"

"I'm just human. Mortals who have no choice but to keep moving forward with their heads held back and courage ......"

Feeling the slight tingling sensation of his snort gently blowing on her face, she blinked slowly.

"Why are you here tonight?"

“…… Why are you standing in front of me, Three Days and Moon?"

Three Sun Moon Sect's eyes flashed, and for a moment he seemed to show a slightly surprised expression, as if he didn't expect her to be able to say so much frankly, but he quickly regained that sense of being rich and leisurely.

He was not in a hurry to answer her series of questions, but suddenly stretched out his right hand, and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand and slightly curled knuckles, and then, lowering his face slightly, and whispered with a smile at the distance between the two of them breathing:

"Haven't you already told you all the reasons?"

Liu Quan: "...... What?"

The right hand that was brushing her face lightly for a moment paused, and the next second, he turned his hand over, and his slender fingers supported her chin, lifting her face slightly.

"I've seen you in the most embarrassed way, stabbed you once, stabbed by you, and had to temporarily serve as a slinger to help you escape your titular brother in Edo......"

He slowly curled his eyebrows, a smile staining his brow.

"When I kissed you in Hakodate, I was not so much emotionally motivated as I wanted to take revenge on you for leaving me behind, and I didn't hesitate to take risks for the sake of others......"

"When I stabbed you at Sensoji Temple, it was just to purge you from the darkness. ”

An iron-masked smile on his face flickered.

"I also know that as the five swords of the world, there are many people who want to get me, and you are not among them. ”

"But—"

He suddenly dragged out his last note, and his expression became solemn and serious.

"Maybe it's because I stabbed you that I want to do what you say...... Occasionally give in to the 'desire to be a mortal'. ”

Liu Quan: "...... What, ......?"

[Now that you have obtained the body of a mortal, how about trying to obey the desires of mortals?]

In the empty square outside the gate of Sensoji Temple, where the wind was blowing and the sand was flying, his life was hanging by a thread, and he finally said something like that to him...... In order to be able to subtly have a limited upper hand mentally at the end of the day, right?

In fact, in the final analysis, it was because she thought that she would never meet this person again from then on, and at the end of the day, she wanted to overwhelm him spiritually, and wanted to gain an advantage in front of him in some cognitive aspect—in fact, these somewhat childish moods arose because of ...... In her subconscious, she has always thought that she is weak in front of him, she is looking up, and she is cautious, right?

Now that she thinks about it, she has yelled more than once in front of the Shinsengumi's famous deputy chief, and she has more than once defied his impersonal and unreasonable orders. However, she had never done that kind of thing in front of the Three Days Moon Sect.

This is precisely because I never thought that this person would have any emotional involvement with me.

It is precisely because she does not simply treat him as "a man". In her eyes, he was the embodiment of a venerable—even awe-inspiring—famous sword, the embodiment of a god, and a being who deserved to be enshrined on the altar, no matter how amiable he was.

…… When did such a god descend from the altar and from the legend to her room and come to her, becoming a being to be reckoned with?
