Chapter 20: The Cherry Blossom Girl
The white-haired royal sister is also the first time to see the girl's resolute expression, and after following her all these years, she also understands the girl's feelings at this time. After a moment of confrontation, she was defeated.
'Alas...... There's really nothing you can do, let's go, Miss, go back and prepare hot water first. We have to deal with his wounds first. ’
Under the girl's firm gaze, the white-haired royal sister shook her head helplessly and said to the girl.
'Hey! ’
When the girl heard this, she showed a cheerful smile, and the innocent arc was like melting the winter snow and ushering in a new spring breeze, shining dazzlingly. She stood up, her long pink cherry hair, and when she got up, she brought up the dew on the grass, and shone in the morning light.
The white-haired royal sister looked at the back of the girl leaving in shock, but she didn't expect the girl known as the dead princess to exude such a charming color at this moment.
She lowered her head and looked at Yakumo Kaede with a complicated expression. She had been taking care of the girl since the disaster, but she had never seen her smile. It can be said that the girl has never seen a real smile since she was born.
But this accidental intruder made her see the smile of the young lady, and realized that it was an ordinary girl, not a dead princess who smelled and changed color.
'Intruder, you say I shouldn't thank you......, Yi, aren't his clothes dirty and torn? Why is it getting better and cleaner now? Looks like this dress of his must be a treasure'. Although she was a little confused, she still picked up Yakumo Kaede and walked to the house.
The courtyard is small, but it is too large for only two people.
The white-haired royal sister found an empty room, and then put down Yakumo Kaede. At this time, the girl who had just left pushed open the door and walked in. There was still a wooden basin in his hand, and the white steam was still rising.
'Sister Enchantress, hot ...... Here comes the hot water, ah!! ’
The girl walks in a hurry, and naturally she is not the kind of person who can install a lamppost when she walks, but she is not flexible. In his anxiety, he didn't take a few steps before he kicked on his heel.
'Be careful, Miss! ’
The white-haired royal sister, known as the enchantress queen, saw her young lady's embarrassment, and instantly came to her side, holding her with one hand and holding the wooden plate with the other.
'Ah~ saved, thank you, Sister Enchantress. ’
After standing firm, the girl patted her chest and caused a wave. The girl is only fifteen years old, but her figure, in addition to her height, is not much better than Yakumo Purple.
White as snow, the skin is as white as snow, the girl's unique blush appears, and the long straight cherry hair dances with the body, it is hard to imagine that this beautiful and innocent girl is actually the princess of death who changes color by smell.
'Miss, just pay attention. ’
The enchantress held the wooden basin and came to Yakumo Kaede to sit next to him, and was about to undress Yakumo Kaede to clean his wounds, but found that there was only white smoke of hot water in the wooden basin.
The Enchantress felt that she had to have a few black lines on her head in order to express her feelings. Helplessly, he turned his head to look at the girl and asked:
'Well, miss, where's the towel?' ’
'Huh?! Yes! Towel, I forgot to take it. ’
The girl was reminded by the enchantress that she had forgotten to take the towel, and before the enchantress could continue, she stepped on her little feet in the footbag and ran out with a bang.
'I didn't realize until now that Miss was a confused person, and I was really a failure as a court master. ’
The girl didn't let the enchantress wait long, and walked in with a towel.
'Sister Enchantress, give. ’
The Enchantress's serious face was expressionless, and it was hard to know what she was thinking. Take it, put the towel in hot water and soak it, and then I'm ready to loosen Yakumo Kaede's clothes.
'Sister Enchantress, I, I'm here to help!' ’
For Yakumo Kaede, the girl is very enthusiastic, but don't get me wrong, this will be known later. Seeing the action of the enchantress, the girl wanted to go over to help again, but when she went over and saw Yakumo Kaede, who was about to be undressed by the enchantress, she was stopped by the enchantress.
'Miss, please go out. ’
'Why?' ’
The girl, who hadn't realized anything yet, innocently tilted her head and asked in confusion.
His injuries were too severe to be tossed any longer. Miss, you don't have any experience in this area, and you won't be able to cope with the next situation. ’
The enchantress said solemnly, and then the obedient girl was persuaded by her to go out. On the one hand, what she said was true, but half of it was unspoken.
Fifteen years old, the age when people could marry in ancient times, Yakumo Kaede's wounds were all over his body, and it can be said that he was almost going to see his fruit body in the next moment. In such an environment, it is naturally not suitable for the girl to stay here, even if she herself does not seem to have the consciousness to do so.
'Looks like we'll have to find a way to let the young lady know about this.' ’
Thinking of this, the enchantress had another headache. She looked like she was in her twenties, but she was twice as old. And she is like a sword, and she is not married at all. Therefore, she is also half-understood.
Ordinary girls are usually taught by their mothers or nurses, but for this dead princess, this is undoubtedly a luxury.
If she hadn't been able to stay by the girl's side, she would probably be the only one in her life. Thinking of her, the heart of the enchantress was full of pity, the enchantress had no children, although she adopted a daughter, because of work, did not stay by her side. So the girl is in her heart, not only the young lady who serves, but also her family, her granddaughter.
As a swordsman, the enchantress naturally has no taboos about this aspect. But when she unbuttoned Yakumo Kaede's clothes, she couldn't help but be shocked. Although Yakumo Kaede was covered in blood, there was no wound at all. This makes the demon mistake it for the resilience of the youkai. So Youji just wiped the blood off Yakumo Feng's body, and then dressed Yakumo Feng.
Although the enchantress didn't have any taboos, after helping Yakumo Feng clean up, her face couldn't help but turn red.
………………
After the girl left, she did not go away, but sat on the corridor and stared blankly at the rising sun in the distance. Even though it's close to summer, probably because of that, the cherry blossom trees are still in full bloom. In this way, the girl looked into the distance in the garden where the cherry blossoms were flying.
A red and black butterfly fluttered along the flowers planted in the garden, and the flying dance quickly attracted the girl's attention. The pattern of this butterfly is not pretty, but it is gorgeous for a girl.
The instincts of wild animals are sensitive, and because of her, there are no animals in this mountain. The only creatures that move here are insects. So butterflies are naturally the favorite of girls like her.
The innocent girl did not have any filthy thoughts, and when she stretched out her fingers, the butterflies wandering in the flowers did not refuse her. Flapping his fluttering wings, he came to her side.
But......
The butterfly did not stop at the girl's fingertips, not that it was unwilling, but that it could not ......
The moment she got close to the girl, the red-black butterfly had lost its vitality and fell in front of the girl.
'Sure enough, it's still ......'
As if she hadn't seen it, the girl kept moving, looking at the blue sky. A drop of crystal sparkle slid down the girl's face and fell to the ground.
'I'm sorry......'
