Thirty-ninth blow The time of the elixir
"It's finally coming to this day, isn't it......" Kaguya sighed faintly as she looked at the moon hanging high in the sky, "How do you tell Sanuki's father?" ”
"Your Highness the Princess. There was no undulating female voice in the darkness, and silver hair reflected Kaguya's eyelids, "It's ready." ”
"Is it Yonglin? Kaguya didn't look back, and said to the figure behind him, "Concubine, what should I do?" ”
"......" Yonglin shook his head and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. ”
"You're not alone. ”
"Well... However, when it really came, I still felt sad. ”
……
"Kaguya has been looking at the moon and lamenting lately, and this situation has been happening more and more recently......" In the room, Sanuki's mother-in-law said with a sad face, and there was an ominous premonition in her heart that was constantly magnifying.
"......" Sanuki Zomaro didn't speak, but he had the same feeling as his mother-in-law.
"That kid used to have a smile on his face. Sanuki's mother-in-law seems to remember the past, "but now ......"
“… I'll ask her. Sanuki Zomaro stopped Sanuki's mother-in-law's words, he may have sensed something, but he didn't want to face it like this, "Old woman, don't say it again..."
However, it is impossible to continue to drag on, and the reason must be understood.
"Kaguya, what the hell is on your mind. ”
“… Huh?"
So, in the early morning of one day, Sanuki Sakumaro asked Kaguya like this.
Kaguya, who was asked by the sudden concern, felt a little overwhelmed.
"Kaguya, tell me why you are looking at the moon so sadly. Sanuki Zomaro's attitude was a little tough, but his eyes were full of worry about Kaguya, "Your life is very happy, and there is nothing unfree." ”
Kaguya pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Thank you for your concern, my father, I don't have any special sorrow and lamentation, but when I see this moon, I feel that this world is sad, so I feel unhappy." ”
"Well, then don't look at the moon anymore. Sanuki Sakumaro was at ease for a while, he just needed a reason to convince himself, "Think more about happy things, and you will be happy." ”
"Well, I see, Father. ”
……
However, just one day, Sanuki Zomaro walked into Kaguya's room and still saw Kaguya's sad look.
This time, he knew that he couldn't deceive himself, and asked Kaguya with a little excitement,
"What the hell are you thinking, what are you thinking?"
Kaguya still replied in the same way, saying, "No, Father, the concubine is just unhappy for no reason." ”
But the sorrow in her eyes can be seen at a glance by Sanuki Zomaro, who grew up with Kaguya.
Sanuki had no choice but to persuade Kaguya: "I advise you not to look at the moon anymore, why do you feel sad just by looking at the moon?"
"Can't the concubine just look at the moon like that?" Kaguya shook his head and said.
She is still the same, as long as the moon comes out every night, she sits in front of the eaves and laments, which makes people feel distressed.
But the strange thing is that on a moonless day, Kamiya is no longer sad. And as soon as the moon came out, Kaguya changed back to that sad look, and the two old men had no choice but to watch her anxious.
……
"That's it, Miss Saga. Sanuki Sakumaro sighed, "What the hell happened to Kaguya?" ”
“…… This kind of thing, come and ask me what I do. The girl put down the teacup and said lightly.
"Aren't you Kaguya's friend!" Sanuki said Soro, "I think the old man thinks you'll know something, right?"
The girl showed a helpless wry smile at Sanuki Zomaro, and said, "As long as you ask carefully, you will definitely get the answer, you can try it again." ”
"The old man cares about her. Sanuki Samaro grimaced, "But no matter how much you ask her, she won't say." ”
"Then we can only say that the time has not come. The girl took a sip of tea.
"Timing?" Sanuki Sakumaro accurately grasped the concern in the girl's words, and the uneasiness in his heart began to rise exponentially, "Saga, tell the old man, what time is it!"
“……”
"Yes, it's Kaguya," Sanuki Sakumaro said intermittently in a panic, "... Is Kaguya leaving?"
"Go ask Kaguya, you need to give her some time. ”
The girl's answer made the little luck in Sanuki Zomaro's heart instantly extinguished, and he sat in place in a daze, unable to say anything.
……
However, Sanuki Zomaro didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Just as in the past, Kaguya looked at the moon and mourned. But this time, Kaguya told the truth that Sanuki Somaro couldn't accept.
"Actually, the concubine should have told you both about this a long time ago..."Kaguya's eyes were rolling with tears, and her voice was actually a little trembling.
"Kaguya, Kaguya?" Sanuki Sakumaro looked up, surprised. Sanuki's mother-in-law also stopped what she was doing.
"Because I was afraid that the two of them would be sad, I was scared and didn't say anything. Kaguya looked at the moon in the sky, and for some reason, the moon, which was supposed to be a new moon, was now large and round.
"But there's not much time left... I have to tell you all about it today. ”
……
"The concubine is not a person in this world. ”
"It's the moonmen who live on the moon. ”
"He was banished by the moon...... Forever with the sinner of the moment, Penglai Mountain Hui Night. ”
"On the fifteenth day of this month, the people of my native country will come to meet me. ”
"Kaguya, what the hell is going on?!" Sanuki Zomaro yelled in disbelief, and the old body burst out with a force that did not match the shape of the body, and pressed Kaguya's shoulder, "You turned out to be what I found from the bamboo. You were really no bigger than a vegetable seedling back then. Now that you're as tall as me, it's definitely not going to work to meet you!"
Saying that, Sanuki made Maro old tears flowed: "If this is really the case, it is better to let the old man die!"
"Please don't say anything like that. Kaguya wiped away Sanuki Zomaro's tears with his sleeve, and said, "Although the concubine is the person on the moon, although there are my parents there, the concubine doesn't miss the relative who doesn't care about the concubine, but I think that the two people who really stand in front of me are the ones who really care about the concubine and really love the concubine." ”
"The concubine doesn't want to go back to the cold and boring moon capital, but she is really helpless and has to go. ”
With that, Kaguya and Sanuki Sakumaro hugged each other and cried.
……
"The concubine doesn't want to go back, and she won't go back. ”
"So I ask my father and mother to accept this. Kaguya took out a small pot from his sleeve.
"This is the medicine of Penglai, which allows people to never grow old and die, existing outside of reincarnation. ”
"Please don't be sad about the departure of the concubine, if, maybe, maybe in the future, we will still have the opportunity to meet. ”
"You're gone, so why should we spare this life? Sanuki Sakumaro shook his head, and did not take the medicine pot containing the medicine of Penglai, "Even if you live, who are you living for?"
“……”
Afterwards, Sanuki made Maro and turned white overnight.
……
"Today's moon is really round. The girl looked at the moon in the sky and kept looking.
【…… Saga-san, how can you be in the mood to go to the moon today?] Isara wondered, "Could it be that there is something on your mind?"
"Ishara, it's not that I'm getting sentimental. The girl replied lightly, "It's that human beings have a longing for those illusory beauty." ”
The girl pointed her palm at the moon and shook it hard.
"However, the unreal is illusory after all, and it can't be grasped, so it makes people yearn for it, make people feel beautiful, and they don't want to destroy it. ”
The hand is released, and the moon remains.
