Chapter Ninety-Seven: Heavy
Because of Huiyin's insistence, there is still no contact with the current Renli garrison tonight.
In fact, neither Jian Ya nor Mei Hong took the strength of the current garrison too seriously.
Fujiwara Meihong aside, Kenya's strength has reached the first-class level of young monsters, and with the power of Budu's imperial soul, no one can treat him as an ordinary martial artist.
Kenya leaned against the door wall of the temple house.
He also has a peculiar fate with the Renli Garrison.
Many of the students at Terakoya are the children of current members of the security team. These children in turn basically became his students, receiving his instruction in the dojo.
In this way, he actually embarked on the path of many young Fujiwara girls.
can also understand why when the dojo opened, Mei Hong repeatedly interfered in the selection of dojo students.
The composition of the garrison is very simple, roughly men between twenty-five and forty.
Since the last generation of Hakurei witches pacified the youkai, the human garrison no longer needs to fight the youkai directly.
The older members of the garrison are also retiring one after another...... The current members of the garrison are all young people who have never fought against youkai.
The members of the garrison who have been in the last few phases of Fujiwara's father are now living with peace of mind, and they are retired peacefully.
In a very tactful tone, he rejected the kindness of the current members of the garrison, trying to keep them from falling into this crisis.
But the young members of the garrison are different after all, and they have an indescribable pride, especially in front of the temple house.
So there was a situation after that.
He looked at these strong men standing in front of the temple house calmly with a plain gaze.
"I have great respect for Daddy Fujiwara's deeds, but that doesn't mean I can send his descendants to their deaths. 」
Jian Ya looked at the big men in front of him who were much older than him, and suddenly shook his head again.
"Standing here, at least it means that you are already my respected predecessors. In this world, there is no reason for juniors to send their predecessors to death. 」
A big man who was in a stalemate with him was stunned, figured out some of them, and shook his head unwillingly.
"It's not something that the orders of the garrison can decide, we're only standing here because we've all been students of the temple house. 」
At this, the big man paused.
"We know that although Kenya-san is young, he already has a strength far beyond us...... But Mr. Kenya, you have to understand. Although the garrison is not the kind of great man who can fear life and death, it does not mean that we can watch the teachers of the past die. We can't change our attitudes and decisions because of your words. 」
"It's Mr. Kenya...... You're the real outsider. 」
Listening to these touching words and evaluations, Jian Ya didn't agree at all, just listened quietly.
When the big man stopped speaking, he reluctantly said with a cold face.
"I can't give you a chance, because this is definitely not something you can meddle in. I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of facing Daddy Fujiwara in a coma, and I can't use your lives to honor the garrison. 」
When Jian Ya said this, he suddenly smiled slightly.
"You have a point, and I understand what you're thinking. But you must know that now I am better than you, and according to the orders of His Highness Barnyard Field, I am also your superior, and your children are also my students. Then you can only obey my orders, and if you resolutely do not cooperate after this incident, you will be disobeyed, and you will be dismissed from your duties. 」
The big man clenched his fingers hard and said coldly.
"It's better than watching Teacher Huiyin die. 」
"You have your thoughts, and I think it's good, but I also have mine, and I don't think it's good. 」
Kenya tried to make his smile as kind as possible.
"What if I don't let you cross this threshold? ?」
"If Mr. Kenya really wants to suppress me with his strength and stop us, then I will do whatever it takes to let Mr. Kenya know our glory. 」
The guard took a deep breath and spat it out heavily.
"Unless you kill me. Otherwise, I'll always be standing in front of this door. 」
As soon as these words came out, the front of the temple house was suddenly cold and almost frozen.
Because the members of the garrison team present knew very well that no matter how young Kenya was, the fact that the other party had fought the Great Tengu alone was indeed undoubted, and if he really made a move, the members of the garrison would inevitably shed some blood here.
However, it is impossible for Kenya to kill this group of lovely and respectable members of the garrison after all, this kind of thing is not in line with his kendo.
So he drew the Budu Imperial Soul Sword very calmly.
"There are three things wrong with what you said earlier. 」
"One, I do see you as a burden, your presence does not bring me much convenience, if you have such sincerity, it is better to use it for daily patrols. If you hadn't been lazy at the spring festival, maybe Daddy Fujiwara would have been able to avoid this attack. 」
He stood up, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the member of the garrison who was already a little angry at what he had said.
"Two, with me and Fujiwara Meihong, no matter how powerful the youkai is, it's impossible to hurt Huiyin-sensei. 」
"Three, that's the most important point. 」
He unceremoniously slammed his sword abruptly around the neck of the guard.
"Huiyin can't die, as long as I'm here, she will never die. 」
"I won't let Yashamaru cross this threshold even if I die. 」
"Death won't. 」
……
……
Kenya sat in the shade of a tree.
Some of the members of the garrison are young adults with enthusiasm and ideals, and they are invisibly influenced by the heroic stories of their predecessors every day in a peaceful environment.
It makes the young adults who are already easy to get hot-blooded even more reckless.
Using cold words stimulated the other party's self-esteem, which was not the way of the sword.
But in this case, it is obviously more difficult to get this group of upright people to trust and give up.
Jian Ya has fully realized the pride and glory in the hearts of the human garrison, and it has been almost a month since he came to the world.
But in the past month, the garrison has never invited him to enlist because of his wonderful performance.
While attaching importance to strength, I pay more attention to the age of the other party. Even if he has superb swordsmanship, Kenya should probably be a teenager in their eyes.
Once he thought that he had deeply stimulated the self-esteem of those big men with that attitude, Kenya was a little unhappy.
Suddenly, I wanted to drink.
As he thought so, a flask hit the tip of his nose.
Kenya opened his eyes and looked at Fujiwara Meihong in surprise.
"Thank you. 」
Kenya nodded in return, and at the same time unceremoniously opened the flask and tasted it.
"Tsk, I thought it was liquor, but I took it and it was still ordinary rice wine. 」
"It's forbidden to bring spirits in the temple, and it's not like you don't know the rules set by Huiyin. 」
Fujiwara Meihong looked at Kenya's posture of pouring wine, and suddenly her heart moved, she took out a cigarette from her pocket and handed it to Kenya.
"Smoke?"
Kenya glanced at the cigarette, suddenly shook the flask, and quipped.
"Smoking is also prohibited in the temple house, don't you know the rules set by Huiyin?"
"There is still a good way to learn. 」
With a sneer, he snapped his fingers, and a small flame suddenly ignited on his right index finger.
In a skillful move that even an old smoker could not match, Fujiwara Meihong spat out a smoke ring.
But when he thought of Jianya's previous words, he glanced at the direction of the main hall with palpitations.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said.
"It's hard for you, a rotten good person, to stimulate others with such a face. 」
Kenya lowered his head and drank wine, and suddenly when he heard this, he looked at Fujiwara Meihong with some distraction.
Fujiwara Meihong has never been too good to him, but Kenya knows in his heart that the other party is definitely not a bad person.
Such an abrupt and slightly apologetic word shocked him.
He thought for a moment and said, "I can understand what they think, I'm too young and I don't know enough about people. If I were a member of the garrison, I would not have been able to entrust my teacher's life to a young teenager.
Even if you know a little about swordsmanship, you must change to a more experienced swordsman. 」
Kenya looked at the apologetic Fujiwara Meihong and said with a slight smile.
"Actually, I also understand that their behavior is actually a fear for my personal safety...... I suddenly understood why Daddy Fujiwara has a lot of respect for you, it is rare for a leader to be able to make his subordinates loyal, and it is even more rare to make his subordinates as respectable and loved as her. 」
"You ......"
Fujiwara Meihong held a cigarette and looked at Kenya, suddenly not knowing what to say.
However, Kenya restrained his smile and looked at Fujiwara Meihong seriously.
"I'm afraid the members of the garrison have guessed something, and their real purpose is probably to give us time to escape with their lives the moment Yakshamaru appears. 」
"If you really want to stay, you don't have to talk to me so much, their real purpose is to make me contradict them, so that when I sacrifice, I won't throw my blood behind Huiyin and go to die with them. 」
Kenya pointed to his heart, took a deep breath, and whispered.
"Even they can perceive it, I'm afraid that things more than ten years ago were more unpeaceful than I imagined, and neither you nor Huiyin told me the truth. I don't go back and ask. It is because I like you that I trust you. 」
"And this kind of liking and trust, I think, will get deeper and deeper over time. 」
Fujiwara Meihong was slightly stunned, and she didn't notice that her fingers were burned by cigarette ashes. For various reasons, in fact, her age is not as young as it seems, so I can understand that Kenya's liking is not like it in the usual sense.
It's not that Kenya didn't realize that Huiyin was hiding something from him, but he realized that he also chose to trust.
Because he likes Huiyin, the temple house, and the world, he stays here.
It has nothing to do with time, nothing to do with age, just because I love it.
As she took another deep puff of her cigarette, she suddenly remembered what Kenya had said earlier.
"Death won't. 」
Clench the cigarette butt firmly into your fist.
Only then did she realize that the sincerity contained in the other party's words may be much heavier than she imagined.
