Chapter 16: Kenshin (Part 1)

The cumulonimbus clouds on the horizon change their posture and flow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the warm light, Arashi sat silently in the courtyard, and Ronnie and Alex, who had been sent aside by him, watched cautiously at the teacher's uncertain face.

But even as this scrutiny continued, they did not stop their discussions, although there was a certain laziness in them.

Lan rarely didn't blame them, the index finger and thumb of his left hand rubbed the freshly cut flower, the petals swirling in circles from time to time, and the palm of his hand still maintained a beautiful posture, but after all, it was just a dead thing.

Dead things, no matter how beautiful they are in life, have no value. Thinking of this, Arashi let go of her hand with a sigh, put it back on the floor, and got up and walked towards the room upstairs.

Seeing the figure of the teacher leaving, the two disciples who were cautious because of the excessive low pressure of the other party hurriedly put their heads together, and the discussion had extended from the teacher's dissatisfaction with the deduction of his hard-earned salary to the point where the teacher wanted to be angry and cut people and vent his anger.

Carrying a bottle of wine that had just been opened, Lan returned to the bedroom, sat on the floor, poured it on the white silk scarf in his hand, and the blue-brown traces spread like ink, and the aroma of wine began to waft out.

On the windowsill, the red lotus with its hair in the sun, with its back to the slanting sun behind it, likes this feeling of warmth all over its body, and will feel that even the blood is hot.

"You're going to start sharpening your sword again?" Honglian asked, looking at Lan's actions. After years of getting along, the two of them know a lot about each other's quirks.

"Keep it clean. Arashi said that he pulled out the sheath of the goods, and the silver-white shiny blade of the sword had a touching charm, and the craftsman who created it poured his life's work into it, including his own life.

From the moment of birth, it is no longer strange that it is intended to be an ominous murder weapon, and it is no longer strange that it is regarded as a karma by the world. Karma has the meaning of cause and effect. But people think more about the cycle of sin.

The silk scarf in his hand carefully wiped the blade of the sword, from the top of the hilt all the way to the tip of the sword, and from time to time a few drops of wine fell from above, seeping into the corners of Lan's clothes. The already clean karma has not changed much because of the owner's extra actions.

But for Lan, it is still the karma that has just cut down the giant beast, and if it has been killed, it has been killed, even if it is not in this time, but only his own heart cannot be deceived by this reason.

"What are you going to do about Ronnie?" Honglian, who licked her paws with her tongue, seemed to realize that her behavior did not match her IQ and hurriedly put it down.

"Kill. Lan replied neatly, and couldn't help but recall not long ago, the crying teenager, holding his deceased relatives in his arms, said to himself: Teacher, help me.

Red Lotus nodded, it was not surprised by its partner's answer, but remembered another thing that it was more concerned about, "I'm quite surprised that you actually agreed to me killing Caiyue in that way." ”

Lan wiped her karma silently, but Red Lotus's words continued.

"To be honest, from my standpoint, why don't you take advantage of Natsuki's powers?Lan, I know you see him very upset, in fact, I hate that brainless ...... too"

"No, I'm not hating him. Lan stubbornly shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "The lion doesn't care about the rabbit's thoughts and actions. ”

"What's that?" asked Red Lotus curiously, as long as she is a smart person, she can see the benefits of using the Pleiades of Caiyue, and she can correct things again and again, and change the unsatisfactory results like saving Ronnie. Now that you're in this world, why don't you choose to use it better?

"Heart!" Lan who put down the silk scarf and looked at the red lotus very solemnly, "Sadness may brew regret, but beauty will be like an addictive poison, as long as you taste it once, you can no longer give up your desire for it." ”

"Every time you encounter something you are not satisfied with, choose to start over. With such a greedy mood, it is impossible to touch the apex of kendo. ”

Arashi's gaze swept over the karma with satisfaction, and it seemed to him that the sharp blade with the smell of wine had been restored to its original state.

"Okay, okay, it's the end of the so-called kendo again. Honglian nodded helplessly, "What did Musashi tell you before he died? ”

In the third year after Kojiro's death, Arashi, who had been training hard, left home alone and traveled thousands of miles to find Musashi's traces. Half a month later, Lan, who came back from killing the other party, has since become a peerless swordsman in the world.

Honglian is curious about this place, and it doesn't know the process of their fight when it is left at home, so it can't understand Lan's current obsession.

Putting the karma back into the sheath, Arashi stood up and stretched, and said casually, "He just said something superfluous." ”

"I don't really know what you swordsmen think. Regarding the attitude of her partner, Honglian could only let out a long sigh.

Lan, who was smiling, neither explained nor answered, but after a long silence, he muttered: "So I'm a swordsman, you are not ......"

Flowing cumulonimbus clouds eventually obscured the glittering sunlight and cast a huge shadow over the standing royal capital, and the smiling children were the first to notice the situation, fantasizing about the brightness of their eyes on the other side of the clouds. And the adults just glanced at it in a hurry, praying in their hearts that there would be no sudden rainstorm that would disrupt their business today.

Caiyue, who has been sitting cross-legged in front of the Apple store, doesn't care at all even if the owner Cadmon keeps urging in his ear. In front of the kingdom's notice board, the crowd gathered together was still discussing the matter of the king's choice.

Carefully pulling open the collar, Caiyue Pleiades confirmed his left chest for the last time, there was indeed a small thing there, Caiyue remembered that it was when he was in the mansion, and the dog named Red Lotus made a deal with him.

Because it's inconspicuous and doesn't have any discomfort, except for when I take a bath at night, I think about it, and the Natsuki Pleiades, who have been troubled by various things these days, seem to have completely forgotten its existence.

But would it have been saved by it? If it hadn't exploded and destroyed his heart. How long will I be imprisoned by that pervert named Betrugius?

It's just that the power is too small, and it has no other effect than destroying the heart. Caiyue, who was in a trance, raised her head and looked at Rem in front of her with a curious face, feeling a slight pain in her heart.

She was supposed to stay in the mansion and fight side by side with her sister, but because she was abused to death by that man, Natsuki Pleiades, who was annoyed by weakness, finally stood up, and this time he had confidence.

That guy Arashi must have been in trouble, too, to use what he had on him, and isn't this just the right reason for him to help him?

If you can get his help, you will definitely be able to defeat the priest of the witch cult, after all, he is a guy that even Mr. Wilhelm is ashamed of.

"Rem, let's go, let's go back to Karsten's house first. Taking a step forward, Natsuki said to the maid, and a plan kept popping up in his mind.
