Since she was left alone four years ago, all her efforts, including asking her grandfather for advice on how to summon a high-level god, were all about making herself stronger.

Then find the youkai Nine-Tails and kill it.

She didn't want to give up this opportunity for revenge at all, but Hanari knew very well in her heart that once she revealed her magic power, it had already opened

The fact that she couldn't keep the water.

Seeing that her eyes were a little wandering, Nightmare couldn't help but raise her voice: "Miss Huali!"

"I—I'll think about it," Hua Li glanced at Zhishui secretly, and quickly retracted her gaze, her voice a lot more sluggish, "Nightmare, will you give me one night?"

"But it's not safe here, and if Miss Hanashi leaves without her luck, she could be in danger at any time. ”

"It's okay," Hanari lowered her eyes to look at the ground, and then sighed lowly, "I'm going to be fine, and besides, the water is still there." ”

“…… Ah, I heard Momiji say, he saved you several times, and I also know that he is very strong," Nightmare glanced at Shisui, his fingers gradually clenched, and he made a tooth-aching sound, "However, this time the enemy is different, the Nine-Tails is the strongest youkai among the hundred ghosts, and even Changhao-sama ......"

As he spoke, Nightmare's face suddenly changed, and he lowered his head with some remorse: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it." ”

“…… It's okay, it's been so long," Hanari shook her head and smiled, "Trust me, Nightmare, I won't die in vain." ”

"......" Nightmare was silent for a while before he whispered, "Miss Hanali, in the past four years, Momiji and I have believed in you very much. ”

"If Momiji was standing here, she would definitely say believe you," a hint of helplessness appeared in Nightmare's eyes, "But I can't, four years ago, Momiji and I didn't dissuade Changhao too much because we believed in Lord Changhao, so that something like that happened...... That incident was a big blow to Momiji, and I didn't want to see her cry again. ”

"Momiji and I, as Shikigami who have been passed down from generation to generation in the Yakumo family, watched Lord Changhao grow up and get married, and then I had Miss Hanali, and now Lord Changhao has passed away ahead of schedule, and we ...... I definitely don't want to see Miss Hanashi go down the same path. ”

Nightmare, who has always been silent, said so much in one breath, Hua Li was a little speechless for a while, her hands gradually clenched, and the pain of her nails sinking into her palms made her somewhat chaotic brain miraculously calm down.

"I have made a decision," Hanari hung her head and looked at the ground, and only squeezed out the second sentence with some difficulty, "...... I'm going to stay. ”

"But ......"

Before Nightmare could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Hua Li, who laughed with a complicated expression: "Actually, my magic power is almost restored. ”

Nightmare was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little incredulous: "...... So fast?"

"That's right, it started this morning," Hanari pretended to be calm and explained, trying to restrain herself from looking at Zhishui's expression, "Probably, tomorrow will be back to normal levels, so nightmare, you don't have to worry." ”

“…… Yes, I see," Nightmare bowed respectfully, "I'll tell Momiji the truth, and since Miss Hanari's magic power has been restored, please call us whenever you need our help." ”

Seeing that the nightmare's body began to gradually dissipate, Hanari nodded seriously: "I will." ”

After the nightmare disappeared completely, the surroundings were completely quiet, and this silent atmosphere made Hanari feel very uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to speak, and Zhishui probably blamed her...... After all, he hid such an important thing from him.

"So I'm really restored," Shisui's smiling voice sounded, "I thought I was wrong." ”

"Yes, yes," Hanari looked a little uneasily, but she didn't dare to look up at him, and wanted to explain a little nervously, "That's because ...... Because it hasn't fully recovered, I didn't stop the water...... I didn't mean to hide it from you!"

"I know. ”

The gentle voice seemed to contain the power of trust, and Huali's nose suddenly became sore, and she almost burst into tears.

She was clearly prepared to deceive him.

"Tomorrow...... My magic power will be fully restored," Hanari took a deep breath to raise her head to look at him, and then smiled lightly, "Tomorrow, I'll send you back." ”

"Tomorrow?" Zhishui was visibly stunned, "Why?"

"Why do you ask ......" Hanari was also a little dumbfounded, "Didn't you say you wanted to go back to Konoha?"

"Ah...... That's what I said," Shisui laughed, rubbing his broad palm on top of her head, "but not now, or does Hanari no longer want to be with me?"

"How come!" Hua Li retorted almost subconsciously, "I really hope that the water stop can stay forever!"

"Poof......" Zhishui suddenly laughed, and seeing Huali glaring at him dissatisfied, he slightly restrained the smile on his face, trying to make himself look serious, but joy and bitterness came to his heart at the same moment.

"Well, stop the water," Hua Li's toes circled on the ground, and asked with some trepidation, "Have you already discovered that my magic power has been restored?"

"Almost, Hanari still can't lie," Zhishui's fingers slid down from the top of her head and landed on her smooth and delicate cheeks, the fingertips rubbed lightly on the side of her face, and a smile appeared in her eyes, "Don't tell me, are you afraid that I will choose to leave?"

"......" Huali hung her head silently, did not retreat or blush, but let out a soft "um".

It's rare for her to confess so much, Zhishui was stunned, his face became a little hot irrepressibly, and his heart was beating rapidly, his fingers unconsciously moved down, stopping at her lips, his fingertips gently caressed her soft lips, his dark eyes were full of unconcealable infatuation, and then he leaned down and slowly approached her.

After perceiving the intention to stop the water, Huali's whole body froze there, unable to even take a step back, and her mind became blank.

The originally silent alley seemed to suddenly become noisy, the sound of birds flapping their wings, footsteps, insects, the rustle of the wind through the leaves, all kinds of sounds converged and were infinitely amplified in her ears.

The flow of air slowed down instantly, and it seemed as if time had stopped, and the slow passage of minute by minute was incomparably slow, and she could clearly see the dark and focused eyes that were close at hand, as well as the eyelashes that were too long and slightly raised.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and the fiery breath was gradually intertwined, and the fingers of the water stop clasped her chin and lifted it slightly, and it only took one minute closer to touch her.

However, at this moment, Zhishui suddenly stopped, and his eyes, which were full of fascination just now, became clear at this moment, he straightened up and looked at Huali, who was still staring at him blankly, and the chagrin in his eyes flashed: "...... I'm sorry. ”

"......" Huali blinked, but there was a sudden sense of loss in her heart, and she blurted out the words inadvertently, "Why?"

was asked by Huali like this, but Zhishui seemed to be choked, a little speechless, hesitated for a long time before smiling bitterly: "...... Because, it's not fair to you. ”

Huali couldn't help frowning, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of Zhishui and pulled it down, Zhishui had to bend down in cooperation, but she didn't expect her to come over quickly at this time, Zhishui instantly felt a soft and warm touch from the corner of his lips, and the itchy feeling disappeared.

It happened so fast that before he could react, Hanari quickly took a few steps back and distanced herself from him, she turned around and covered her already red face with her hand, and then stomped her foot as if she was embarrassed.

Subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the person who was still facing away from him and didn't want to look at her: "That, Hua Li......"

"Don't talk and let me be quiet," Hanari took a long deep breath, feeling her drum-like heartbeat gradually subside, before turning to look at him, "What, why did you show that expression, didn't you want to do this to me just now, I just finished what you didn't finish." ”

Hanari's expression looked extremely serious, as if what she had just done didn't have any charm in it.

"......" Zhishui was silent for a while, and then sighed lowly, "Huali, you should reject me completely." ”

The contradiction in his heart has intensified, and the thoughts that have been forced down by him have quietly broken through the soil and begun to take root next to the big tree called Konoha.

"No," Hanari raised her chin and snorted softly, "I like you, so kiss you, what's wrong?"

Huali, who has always been awkward, suddenly became straightforward, and Zhishui froze completely, he looked at her with a complicated expression for a while, and then laughed softly: "No, what Huali said is right." ”

A love affair without results, full of the sweetness of despair, and even then, he is willing to do it.

The sky has gradually darkened, the sound of the waves on the seaside continues to sound, Zhishui led her to walk slowly on the beach, from time to time there was a cold sea water splashing on her legs, but Huali didn't realize it, her attention was almost all on Zhishui beside her.

"Now, when are you going to leave?"

"......" Zhishui's hand subconsciously clenched and gradually loosened, "I ......"

He found that he didn't want to leave anymore.
