Interlude: The end of peace

"This ...... Bastard!"

The sound of its slap echoed in the mountains.

The cheeks that were slapped by Huiyin produced a dull ache.

The reason is now fully understood.

So why do you have to cause a conflict in that situation?

I know very well that if I don't die, I won't die.

Is...... bFoolishness.

But more important than anything now.

Huiyin burst into tears.

Just looking at the usually virtuous and dignified Huiyin's pain, he felt a pain in his chest.

This made Kenya feel more remorseful than any other words.

Kanako and Suwako walked away without saying anything.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of a slap that Kanako opened her mouth first.

"Sword...... I'm a little concerned about something, and I want to ask. Do you ...... Haven't you thought about your life since the beginning?"

Kenya didn't answer.

That silence means yes.

Suwako bit her lip tightly and said this.

"Lost my memory...... At the end of the day, it's also about losing oneself. So Jianya, compared to not cherishing life. Rather, it's just a fantasy to think that your actual situation is actually just a fantasy. Right?"

"That's right...... That's it! Who am I? Who am I?

What's the name?

What is hometown?

Who are the parents?

Who are the brothers?

Who are the friends?

What the hell did I do, and why am I in such a place!

No kidding, what does Gensokyo mean! Such a cruel thing is a bastard!"

For the first time, I shed tears in front of others.

Like a waterfall, like a spring, it falls down the cheeks.

Kenya spit it all out as fast as possible.

Loneliness, sorrow for hometown, and then spit out all that I longed for in words.

Unlike Kanako, who accepts it with a stern eye, a compassionate remark appears on her face.

Huiyin hugged Jian Ya tightly.

With a trembling hand, he stroked Kenya's hair and stroked it gently.

Kenya, who was being held by Huiyin, was close enough to hear his heart beating, and that soft heart surrounded Kenya's face.

Ruthless was defeated by Huiyin's motherhood.

overriding the destiny of the sword.

I couldn't help but whimper.

He had lost his strength from his heels, and his knees were weak, so he could only sobble in Huiyin's chest.

She didn't say anything, just accepted Kenya's sadness and loneliness and continued to hold him.

Time passed, and Kenya, who had a red nose and eyes, apologized to Huiyin.

"I'm sorry ......"

"It's already good. I'm also a little angry, and there are so many things that get angry.

Honestly, it's a pleasure.

Indeed, that report was also unkind to me.

The sight of the village stung me.

However, this is a very common thing, so I gave up, but I didn't expect Kenya to come here for my sake, my business...... and so on."

Suddenly, a storm raged in the forest, and the figures of Semeimaru and Kurama Tengu were seen from above, and it didn't take long for Tsubaki to arrive.

"I'm sorry, everyone, thank you just now!"

"Shotmaru ......"

Looking at the sharp gaze that was reflexively revealed, the sharp sword ya, the shooting pill waved his hands left and right and kept retreating.

"Well, please wait a minute! I have no intention of writing about the two of you! I just want to apologize......"

"Wow Ka Ka! Boy, if you're a man, don't be so small-bellied. ”

"Mr. Kenya, I also ask you. Mr. Wen also thoroughly reflected. ”

Kenya, who didn't blink his eyelids, kept staring at Shotimaru's face.

Hearing the persuasion of so many people, the originally burning anger slowly cooled, and Kenya slowly stretched out his hand towards her.

"Okay. ”

"Ah, yes!"

Shotimaru Wen excitedly shook Kenya's hand.

Names and addresses were exchanged.

Everyone returned to Moriya Shrine with a smile on their faces, and Sanae, who was cleaning the precincts, was waiting there to greet them early.

Sanae saw Kenya first, abandoned the bamboo broom he was holding, ran to him, and put it in his strong chest.

Of course, after that, it was indispensable to be Suwako's **, and there were a lot of jokes.

Huiyin on the side nodded, as if she understood something.

Shotmaru is the eyes wide open and wants to write something, but he looks distressed.

Tsubaki has a bulging mouth and looks a little angry.

Only the Great Tengu, Kurama sighed from the side.

"It's nice to be young. ”

========================

After that, of course, the beginning of the banquet.

It starts with Kenya, Huiyin and Shotimaru, the place where the exchange of sake glasses of reconciliation begins.

Kanako and Kasumoko, as well as Kurama Tengu, also began to drink heroically.

The youngest Tsubaki is engaged in chores with Sanae.

The drunken life-shooting pill is entangled with the upper visitor, well...... After that, he was taught another lesson.

Death doesn't change.

Shaking his head, Kenya continued to take a sip of wine.

The sake of the gods tastes like no other.

Before you go back to the world, why don't you ask Sanae for a little more?

In exchange, when you get paid, you can come to the shrine from time to time.

Ahem...... Hakurei Shrine will not be less.

Although very reluctantly, it is.

"Wow Ka Ka Oh, I haven't been so happy in a long time!"

"His Royal Highness Kurama, thank you very much for this incident."

"Ah, thank you very much for your business. Last night's sword dance was so enjoyable."

"No, no, among the youkai, only a few youkai such as His Royal Highness Kurama Tengu will be tolerant of people. ”

"Yes, too. You want to inquire about His Royal Highness Bai Ze, right?

Humans are very interesting creatures.

In the past, when he was in Kurama Mountain, the old man did not do his job properly and trained a human being, and before he knew it, he made a lot of contributions with some small skills in the Battle of Genpei.

The children of nameless commoners will also have a time to unify the world.

The world is impermanent, and the longer you live, the more interesting it is, and most human beings are creatures that do not change throughout their lives.

Only a few are different, just like you."

"Me?"

"Hmm. The old decay has also been a tengu for a long time.

It's not the first time I've heard anyone say such a boiling word to the Heavenly Demon Lord!

However, as a human being, I feel that you are facing the tengu.

It's a wake-up call for some tengu to look down on humans on weekdays. ”

"But, I heard the Heavenly Demon mention the sage of the youkai, and that's why he won't attack me. ”

Huiyin answered Kenya's question.

"She's a big monster who doesn't even know where she lives or when she appeared. At the very least, it's confirmed that she's one of the most powerful big youkai in this Gensokyo. A youkai among youkai named Yakumo Murasaki"

"Yakumo Purple ......"

"Creepy, bizarre facts.

In fact, she also appeared at a banquet in the world.

The person who moved the drunken Kenya to the bed was none other than Yakumo Murasaki.

Do you know where you met?"

"Ah, then Marisa's house has encountered incredible youkai.

It's the first day here.

Long blonde hair and white and purple clothes, people coming out of the cracks. ”

"Sure enough,?。 I always feel that the appearance of that lazy monster is exactly the same."

The little monk believes that everything has an order of things. If the other party is interested in you, you can't hide it anyway. How about the disciple who is a humble monk?"

"His Highness Kurama?"

"Hmm. The main thing is that you have room to practice.

Isn't your swordsmanship based on the speed of our tengu?

So why don't you just teach the tengu's immortal arts?

Just like my past disciples"

"Did you teach him not only swordsmanship, but also immortal arts?"

Hearing Huiyin's surprised tone, Kurama puffed out his chest with pride.

"Not all, of course. Otherwise, how could he have died so stupidly?"

What a fascinating proposal it is.

Immortal art aside, the teaching of Kurama Tengu swordsmanship, even the sword is very excited.

There is not a swordsman who does not love swords, and there is not a swordsman who does not want to learn swords.

However, he remembered the agreement he had made with Huiyin.

"I'm building a dojo on earth. I had a teaching agreement with the children.

However, I want to learn any skill. ”

"In that case, it's not unacceptable! It doesn't matter, even if you can't come to the humble monk's side.

There are too many strong people in Gensokyo for you.

If you play against such guys, your swordsmanship will improve greatly.

Even so...... Miss Shrine Maiden, this appetizer is a superb!"

"Hehe, thank you. Mr. Kenya also ate a lot."

Eat to your heart's content, drink to your heart's content, and talk about your life ideals to your heart's content.

In such an environment, the dispute with the shooting pill has completely disappeared.

Well, the main reason is that Kenya slaughtered her in Go.

Although it didn't take long to be beaten badly in chess.

Enjoying the pride of the shrine's hot springs, the women enjoy a gorgeous bath.

In a normal bath in the corner of the shrine.

Kenya and Kurama Tengu rubbed each other's backs, and put a handkerchief on their heads to solemnly clean their bodies.

"Alright, young man, bathing is one of the few opportunities for human beings to be alive!

Therefore, if you get rid of the vulgar dirt, your body and mind will be completely cleansed.

Also, your little friend is quite small compared to swordsmanship, wow Ka Ka "

“…… Ulusai"

The lights at Moriya Shrine have gone out, and late night has fallen.

But the hearty laughter still didn't disappear, resounding above the mountain of monsters.
