Chapter 66: Steamed Buns
This is the dream after the Sakurazen showdown.
Even though it was in a dream, Kenya knew very well that he was dreaming.
The dream is not only this time, about his life, since he came to Gensokyo, he has seen it three times.
Then this is the fourth time I've seen the past of the Eight Meanings Sword Ya.
He's a very unscrupulous, venomous, and whining guy.
But a good guy.
This is the conclusion reached by Kenya, who has inherited part of his memory inheritance.
This time it was on a very dark seaside, with a bright starry sky in the background, releasing an infinite expanse.
He sat there, drinking, with the two men beside him.
And all that is left for Jian Ya is the back.
Those two are the most important people to him, right?
For some reason, Kenya can feel this feeling just by intuition.
Standing beside him was a friend, leaning on his shoulder...... Probably lovers, right?
This kind of warm family happiness is something that Kenya dreams of now.
He had the impression that the originally unruly face of the Eight Intentions Sword Ya might only show that kind of laughter when facing those two people.
In his own friendships and loves, in his own warm memories.
It was in the end of his life.
Such a real smile made Kenya even more convinced that such a guy could not be a villain.
Believing that he is a good man - this is probably the only reason why Kenya still inherits the name 'Kenya' without knowing the whole thing about his past.
In the distance of the Black Sea, there was a brilliant starry sky, and his real smile.
Really, this guy, can't you talk to me properly? Is it so difficult to always leave such and such suspense and treat people sincerely?
…… But forget it, I'm used to it anyway.
Just when Kenya thought so.
Suddenly, it dawned.
The three figures turned into two, and the sky was no longer dark, but brighter.
Their faces no longer laughed, and some of them were just heavy.
Kenya's original consciousness began to blur, and the world in his eyes began to distort and frenzy.
Before that, I only vaguely saw a very tall green gorge.
In the dream, Kenya didn't know how long time had passed, only that the Eight Meanings Kenya had been moving towards him, walked a long way, spent a long time, and killed a lot of people.
The green shirt on his body was stained with blood.
He walked in front of Kenya with a smile, and it wasn't until he saw the figure reflected in his pupils that Kenya realized that the person he was looking at was not himself.
It's Bayi Yonglin.
Kenya's dreams are like his memories, and Kenya's presence in him is like air.
His unorthodox appearance was almost the same as on the altar, but Kenya saw a sense of relief in his smile.
So when he passed by, Kenya didn't do anything.
Because in his eyes, narrowed by true happiness, there was only that person.
"Goodbye, Lynn. 」
Before he had time to consider the meaning, Yonglin in the dream asked him as quickly as he could.
"Why?"
Why?
Why did you come here all of a sudden, and why did you leave all of a sudden?
Why are we bound by fate, and why are we separated by fate?
"Don't you know?"
He smiled and touched Yonglin's head—something he would never normally dare to do.
"I got my wish, I don't have to fight anyone, my wish has been fulfilled - there are no regrets. 」
The fool was stubbornly giggling all the time, as if it was just to make her believe.
Dreams, about to wake up.
He cut off Bayi Yonglin's head, just to stop her vexatiousness.
The moment he held his head, the extra tears in the corners of Yonglin's eyes were the remorse she left for him, or the memory he left for her?
Kenya has no way of knowing.
The final picture is that the young man in green shirt dragged his tired body to the front of Qingxia, facing the group of bull ghosts and snake gods who wanted to live forever.
He raised his head proudly, as if to say the most magnificent confession of his life.
"Starting today, my surname is Bayi. 」
"Eight Meanings of Sword"
……
……
The dizziness was terrible, and by the time I woke up, it was already morning.
My eyes are still a little confused, is it because I was tinkering with koji for too long yesterday, or because I can't sleep because I am excited to drink for the days when I will have alcohol in the future?
Thinking of this, Kenya looked over the wine jar on the bookshelf, and he began to look forward to his future life.
I quickly changed my clothes, finished washing, and walked out of the room.
When you come to the main hall, you will see the letters left by Huiyin and the rice bowl with a plate behind the back.
Touch your right hand next to the rice bowl and feel the temperature.
It's a little cold, and it looks like it's gone early.
Jian Ya usually gets up early, and although it is a little late today, it is also the time for normal people to get up.
Sometimes, in order to take care of Jian Ya, who gets up early to exercise, Huiyin will also prepare meals a little earlier.
Therefore, based on the dishes that were already a little cold, he estimated that Huiyin got up very early today.
In the blink of an eye, he looked at the letter again.
The content of the letter is relatively simple, and the general meaning is to tell Kenya that his boss is going out to report his daily work to some big families in the people, and the food is placed in the cupboard, and how about steaming himself when he is hungry.
Don't go to some strange place to die.
The delicate font is matched with Huiyin's thoughtful words, and the red row in the lower right corner is 'Otherwise, wages will be deducted'. Let Kenya completely put an end to the idea of running around the Red Devil Pavilion alone.
They treated me like an ignorant child.
Jian Zai, who complained so much in his heart, also understood that this was Huiyin's concern for his own safety, and it was a manifestation of his closeness.
For him, it's more disgusting that he is treated like a child by Huiyin than he can't go to the Red Devil Pavilion, right?
…… Suddenly, I kind of understood how Takumi and them felt when I was preached by me.
Educational experience comes from life, and Huiyin really doesn't deceive me.
Most of the home visits have been completed, and many children have to help their parents with work or play on Sundays, and the risk of disturbing them will affect the teacher-student relationship.
Huiyin's steamed buns have always been delicious, and many of the ingredients were sent by the parents of the students at the temple.
Most of the villagers are kind and enthusiastic, and when they come to the temple house to pick up their bear children, they will occasionally bring some home-grown vegetables and fruits.
Especially in recent years, Gensokyo has been very peaceful, and some monsters or gods in Monster Mountain have also begun to move around frequently among people.
More or less, even unintentionally, they will bring favor to the crops of the land here.
Kenya's current meals are getting richer and richer, and it's also thanks to this.
Kenya nibbled on Huiyin's handmade Shangbaizawa steamed buns while reading a medical book from the Eternal Pavilion.
It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a medical book, but in fact, the content in it is closer to some first aid knowledge.
It is mainly a temporary hemostasis, disinfection, emergency measures to deal with bruises and sprains, etc.
Like the careful Huiyin, before being sent to the temple house, Yayi Yonglin also marked some annotations in some corners, accompanied by pictures, so that it was easy for simple-minded people like Kenya to understand.
All the advanced professional vocabulary was skipped, and the easy-to-understand annotations were directly used to let Kenya appreciate a corner of medicine.
His reading speed has not been very fast, and because of eating steamed buns and admiring Dr. Yonglin's handwriting, half an hour has passed unconsciously.
Wash the dishes and place them on a shelf.
Kenya looked up at the sky, calculated the time in his heart, and estimated the distance from this side to Youkai Mountain.
Stooping down and picking a small blade of grass from the shade in the corner of the door, it was sandwiched in a book and served as a bookmark.
Carefully placed the medical books on the shelves, and then picked up the two Budu Imperial Soul Swords, left a note, and locked the doors and windows.
Embarked on a journey.
