Kenya closed his eyes and leaned on Ihime's shoulder, and the reverberation of each step of the road came to his mind clearly. The road went straight ahead, but unfortunately he couldn't open his eyes, and there was only lonely darkness in his eyes.

He was so tired.

In the silent twilight, there was no accompaniment of birds and insects, but the ticking of Yiji's toes and the peaceful breathing of Jian Ya were like a serenade with tragic colors, lingering between the young swordsmen.

In the corner of Yiji's eyes, seeing the faint loss on Kenya's face, he subconsciously whispered and comforted, "Sir is just a human, but he is willing to take risks, which is already quite brave. 」

After a moment of silence, Kenya said, "I'm still a teacher, but I've never done what a teacher should do. 」

Yi Ji was slightly stunned, and then understood that the other party was not sad because he had affected many people, but only because he had not fulfilled his due obligations?

This made her a little puzzled, but she also felt a little taken for granted.

Really, it's paradoxical.

"Why haven't the shrine maidens of Hakurei stopped these actions of Yokai Mountain until now, and why did all the tengu intercept us as if they knew we were going to the Sunflower Field?"

"There are a lot of things I don't want to think about, and then I'm worried that I won't be able to trust anyone. 」

Kenya bit the tip of his tongue, rejuvenating his somewhat sleepy consciousness a little, because he was too hard, the tip of his tongue had been bitten and bleeding.

The corners of Ichi's brows gradually furrowed, and her face was full of doubt.

She knows Gensokyo, she knows more than Kenya imagined.

She didn't understand why the Yokai Mountain would know about their trip to the Sunflower Field, nor did she understand why the current Hakurei Shrine Maiden hadn't come to stop the rampant activities of these youkai to this day.

Now, thousands of years later, the shrine maiden has completely lost her position and is biased towards youkai?

Iki said as she looked at the sunset in front of her.

"I don't know why, but since the shrine maiden didn't take action to cure them, there must be a reason for it. 」

She clenched Kenya's hand, clenched it tighter, and felt Kenya's gradually lower body temperature, and became a little agitated.

"When I left, I was confused. In the teacher's plan, we should arrive at the sunflower field quickly. But if we can really consume the opponent's combat power, we should fight with the previous ones. Why did the gentleman order me to leave?"

Kenya was silent for a moment...... Said slowly.

"Since you're going to die, it's better to kill only me. 」

Ihime's long eyelashes blinked slightly, and after confirming the reason for Kenya's decision, a faint feeling of admiration arose in his heart, and this simple answer often seemed incredible in many cases.

"These vendettas and resentments are inexplicable to me, and even more so to my friends and the people around me. 」

Kenya said softly.

"I have accepted some of the things of the Eight Wills Sword Ya, and it is only natural that I should bear his sin and punishment. Renli is my home, and Huiyin is my family. No matter how I think about it, I have a duty to protect it, but the friends who came to help me didn't have that responsibility. 」

"Understood. 」

Yi Ji's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Jian Ya's side face with great appreciation, and said with a faint smile.

"I hope that one day, my husband will be able to protect me like that. 」

"I will. 」

Jian Ya lowered his eyes and said with a sincere smile on his face.

"If there is a day, I will do everything to keep you safe as I do today. 」

"I never saw that Sir was such a confident person. 」

Iki felt Kenya's breath and muttered.

"Everyone has what he is good at, and for me, the sword is my only one, as long as I hold the sword tightly, I don't know why, I will be a little confident and even arrogant. 」

Kenya shook his head and said to the girl who was carrying him on his back.

It was the first time he had dragged down so many people. However, whether it is the bamboo pole that the soul is jealous of, or the silent eyes of Alice in the bamboo forest, or this long and unknown journey. None of them could interfere with his composure.

There was no excitement or panic in his heart, only a slight excitement.

"'He'...... Something similar was said. Although Mr. is very different from 'him', it is really similar in some ways. 」

Kenya understood who 'he' was, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Actually, I respect him a lot, no matter how much I resist his existence on the surface. Admittedly, there are still many traces of him on my body. Now that he's causing me so much trouble, I'm naturally even more disgusted with him. 」

"But that doesn't stop me from respecting. 」

"I really respect him. 」

Repeating it vigorously again, Kenya felt the faint aroma of Yiji, and had no idea in his heart, and suddenly remembered that Fujiwara Meihong would probably light a cigarette at this time, and couldn't help but smile.

If you can make it back alive from this trip, let's have one.

The sun is about to set, Gensokyo is about to fall into the night, running in the twilight, and the road to the sunflower field is peaceful but full of sadness.

Ichi, who was running silently towards the south, suddenly stopped when she was about to enter the Nameless Hill.

Feeling the breath coming from the air, Yi Ji reached out and touched the Budu Imperial Soul Sword on his waist, and then said to the sword on his back.

"Sir, please hold me tight. 」

Jian Ya was slightly stunned, and reluctantly opened one eye, seeing that the black qi in the sky had realized something. As Iki instructed, my hands wrapped slightly around Ichi's neck, and after two seconds, they released it awkwardly.

Yi Ji touched the uncomfortable neck that she had just been strangled, and she was a little speechless, and she understood what Yonglin meant when she said that Mr. was stupid in some places.

She took a deep breath and sensed that the other side of the hill was night, and the night was quiet.

However, there was a faint sound of agitation in the hills.

Avalanche.

It wasn't an avalanche, it was an innumerable white wolf tengu gathered together and galloping down the hill, their footsteps and the heavy thumping of the ground.

Hammer on this pair of men and women.

Two swordsmen, appearing in front of the Nameless Hill.

The next moment, countless tengu surged out from the hills.

PS：…… You've been playing white lately.

Here's a joke from the white scientists in the group.

In the eyes of Bayi Yonglin, there was an inexplicable emotion.

I didn't expect it, and I couldn't predict that I would see the Eight Meaning Sword again...... Such a thing.

It should have been a happy one, but when I saw the side of the Eight Meaning Sword Ya, there was another her.

Such Yonglin, moving, that heart, is such a movement.

Whispering, eight-meaning Yonglin, the whispering of consciousness.

"Yes, I should have been used to the days without him for a long time, but now I understand that whether it is hugging, being together, or liking the partner, it should be a happy time like a dream, it should be what I want. 」

"Now, the sword, the eight-minded sword, died and was reborn, and they have thrown me away. 」
