701 699 [Return Chapter 4] 124
Undoubtedly, the object of the "irreplaceable person" in this sentence seems to be clear.
Yanagizumi is not a fool without EQ, and although he would not be a Mary Sue to the point of pretending that he could take the entire Honmaru as a harem as a god inquisitor, the attitude that Mikazuki Sect has always treated himself, and now that he thinks about it, it has exceeded the scope of what a samurai should do to his master, or a time-honored elder to a lonely and brave junior (fog!).
Although everyone knows the meaning of not marrying He Lu, but the Three Sun Moon Sect is the most beautiful one among the five swords in the world, and it has always been inherited in the hands of the general's family, and no one will not understand his importance and significance, and there is no need to use such trivial means to justify his name, gain attention or expand his influence.
Dabaoping is still angry that he has not been ranked among the five swords in the world; the central iron of Yingmaru's main knife is unprocessed and has never been on the battlefield; Ichijo and Cinderumi have both suffered from burning; Kokomaru actually only exists in the legend of Noraku's "Little Forging"; Shuzhumaru has been lost for more than 200 years and has a questionable background, and even the shrine where it was originally enshrined later refused to be re-received; Tsurumaru Kuniyong was adrift and stolen from the tomb. It was stolen from the shrine where it was enshrined, Dadian Taiguangshi was entangled in the cold reception that he had been placed in the warehouse and couldn't get out of the battle, and Jiang Xuezuo didn't want to fight at all-
Almost all knives have their own sad things. Only from the time of his birth, the Three Days, who had been admired and respected by everyone, was in the hands of nobles, was treated with the highest and most solemn treatment, and also fought against the enemy with the generals of the time in the Eiroku Rebellion......
Such a person, or rather, such a famous knife, does not need to receive special treatment from its current owner in order to get additional satisfaction.
...... Unless, in his own opinion, the kind of special treatment that is necessary for him, very important, must receive.
However, Liu Quan could not answer him anything, nor could he receive these kindnesses from him in surprise and joy like those simple and sweet lovely maidens, because of the favor of the most beautiful and highest-ranking Fu Fu God among the five swords in the world, his eyes lit up with excitement, and his heart slammed into him, and then poured out all his love and admiration to him, just as he expected.
His chin was propped up, unable to move, or to turn her face away from his gaze, so she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and made up her mind to say the lines of the vicious service.
“...... I used to hear a song. She whispered.
"There are a few lyrics that I love. ”
didn't get her enthusiastic response, and the three days of the moon didn't seem to be disappointed or angry, but responded with a soft smile: "Oh~?"
Liu Quan whispered: "'Countless sorrows have been deposited here, and the irreplaceable ones are laid to rest here, and the white clouds that have witnessed the war are sent to the heavens full of light...... There is no other way to embark on the journey than to move forward, and the future that awaits not far away, even if it is unknown, must move forward'——"
The Three Days Moon Sect seemed to be silent for a moment before responding: "...... Oh. ”
Although Liu Quan closed his eyes, he could feel that his breath was not as infinitely close to his face as it was just now. Although his left hand still held her arm, and his right hand bent his five fingers to support her chin, a subtle, somewhat ambiguous atmosphere that had permeated the courtyard a moment ago had been banished by the words she had recited.
She reluctantly curled the corners of her lips in disappointment, and reopened her eyes to look at him, and there was a hint of gloom in her tone.
"In Bentendaiba of Hakodate...... Also, in the Infinite Light Temple......"
"I remembered this song before I left those places. ”
"Sometimes, it's not that I'm not trying hard enough...... But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stay. ”
"In that case, I shouldn't do anything superfluous......"
"Because I can't take the initiative to create more sadness, which shouldn't be. ”
The Three Days Moon Sect was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
“...... That's right. ”
The five fingers of his right hand holding her chin slowly opened, sliding from her jaw to the side of her cheek, and with a slight stroke of his fingertips, he outlined the arc of her cheek, then withdrew his hand and slowly took a step back.
"So, what about the menacing affection you had for Toshizo Hijikata, the desperate followers, the courage to change history and keep him alive at the cost of the shadows? Actually, it's all because that's what you have to do, isn't it?" he asked sharply, and the honorific title that he had abandoned reappeared.
Liu Quan was silent for a moment, then replied.
“...... Yes. She replied low and clear.
Three Days and Moon Sect Near: "......"
It is rare that her affirmative answer is exchanged for a rare speechlessness from Fu Fushen.
The Three Days Moon Sect was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed again.
"Ahahahaha. He shook his head with a smile and threw out an even sharper and more difficult question to answer.
“...... So, you were in ...... In front of that temple in Asakusa, I was also deliberately asked to kill you, right? Because you can't stay with that young man with good swordsmanship in Shinsengumi anyway, it wasn't possible from the beginning...... So you just played a terrible exit at the last minute, and you ended up dying to stabilize the world, and you didn't really have anything to lose yourself—did you?"
Liu Quan: "......"
Ah, finally got the question straight to the point.
From the moment they reunited in this honmaru, she knew that sooner or later she would have to face such a question. Mikazuki is not a fool, nor is he simply carried away by feelings or guilt - after a meticulous analysis, he will always get close to the truth.
Even if he couldn't have guessed her true identity as a player controlled by the system, he would have come to the conclusion that "even if you die once, it won't hurt you, because you're now alive and standing in front of me unharmed."
And such a conclusion is enough to make people angry to the extreme. Although the Three Days Moon Sect has lived as a sword for more than a thousand years, and his cultivation skills are unmatched, it doesn't mean that he will think about "Oh, so she is also forced to do it, there is no way" and then easily tolerate the deception behind this tragic exit.
Now, how do you answer him?
Liu Quan was silent for longer than before. And the Three Days Moon Sect was just standing a few steps away in front of her, waiting patiently.
Finally, she lowered her gaze.
"Yes. ”
She replied clearly.
"Because what I thought at the time was that if one of us had to die to stabilize the world, then I would have to die. She said.
"Because I know I have a chance to be resurrected, but I don't know if you have such a chance after you die. I thought it would be better to die myself than to have the best of both worlds – to save both of us...... It's just the simplest trade-off. ”
She won't shirk her responsibility, but she won't deliberately not speak out about her considerations in order to play some misunderstanding.
Although it doesn't sound like a noble motive to leave the other party speechless after saying it, the facts are the facts.
The truth is, although she doesn't know what side of the world he will live in when she dies, she feels that she can make them both safe at the same time, so she does it.
It was rare that the Three Days Moon Sect did not react with any excitement or shock when he heard such words recently.
His eyes flashed, his lips moved slightly, he made an "oh" gesture, and then with a slight bow, he said in a very formal tone: "I am very grateful that you chose to trade your life for my safety." ”
Then, without waiting for her to answer, he turned and strode in the direction of his room, leaving her alone in the courtyard late at night.
This was the first time since she came to this Honmaru - to leave her where she was, and leave on her own or something......
Liu Quan stared at the wide hem of his blue hunting coat that fluttered slightly with his steps, and unconsciously showed a wry smile.
"Ah...... I'm really angry......" she said as if muttering to herself.
Dead. In the deserted courtyard, there was only the occasional sound of insects. The flowers and trees at night give off a particularly fresh and vegetal aroma.
Who knows what kind of price you have to pay to be the owner of such a beautiful Honmaru and control countless famous swords in history.
Liu Quan looked at the corner of the corridor where the back of the Three Days Moon Sect disappeared, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
“...... It's not the time to think about that. She muttered.
Looking down and thinking for a moment, she spat out a name as if in deep thought.
"Kuro...... Yijing. ”
She playfully curled the tip of her tongue, as if by doing so, the pronunciation of the name would remain between her teeth for a little longer.
"Why you......"
Why is it that you are the only one who has traveled through history and life and death to become a judge of the gods, and to live in the afterlife that no one else can reach?
[After saying goodbye to you like this, I can fight without distraction]
A familiar voice, incomparably similar to the voice of the Three Days Moon Sect, suddenly echoed in her mind again.
...... Yasuhiro Fujiwara.
This name came to mind almost at the same time as the name "Genkuro Yoshitsune". With this, there is also indescribable sadness and regret.
[I want you to spend a long life in regret and regret...... That would be my victory. 】
She still remembered those eyes as sharp and deep as a falcon, and as she strode out of the Infinite Light Courtyard, those eyes followed her all the way, and their gaze was like a substance, nailed tightly to her back, as if they wanted to engrave her back into a memory with their gaze.
But how long did his memories last after that? a month, two months?
He must die according to history...... However, Genkuro Yoshitsune, who died before him in history, survived and came to the modern world, under a pseudonym, commanding so many famous swords in history, and doing the same thing as her-
It's not fair.
Such a rebellious thought suddenly surged in her heart.
Why?!If there is such an extra chance to be forgiven and reborn, why is it Jiurou and not Taiheng? Is it because Jiurou in history has fought many victories for his brother, and Taiheng has the title of "Izumi Champion", but he lost the whole of Hiraizumi to Minamoto Yorito?
"Kuro...... Taiheng ......"
She repeated the two names, which were almost a control group and had once existed as friends.
The government of time here, since even the gods of war in history can drive it, must have more secrets that no one knows - and the system fungus, that is a guy who can't afford to be early. Is it just for the sake of friendship to aid the government of the time? is it not good for itself? is it just for the graduation placement of good players? However, what about leaving the players alone? Will the players in turn hack the system to the point that the server crashes?......
I'll find out the truth behind this. Because that's why I'm here.
She thought so silently, but didn't say it.
