Chapter 14: Maple
This is the moment before the first rays of morning light will descend on the earth, and it is also the time when the darkness is at its deepest, of course, this difference, the thickness and shallowness of this darkness, only those who have not touched the warm light for a long time can discern it, for Sakura, this is just when it is almost dawn, and day and night are about to alternate, and that's it......
Kikyo is a shrine maiden who is almost a saint.,This is how Sakura feels about her.,All the actions of this girl can't find any flaws.,If there's so-called perfection.,Sakura thinks,That's probably it.,But,Such people are undoubtedly very tired......
Sakura has also seen people who once believed in nobility and completely dedicated themselves, and even suffered a lot because of that person, at least the pain, the sense of emptiness that can never be forgotten, Sakura is deeply remembered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, for the Knight King, Sakura really doesn't have any disgust, and even said that she can't have any ideas, and if she has to say something, she probably only has the emotion of pity, but Kikyo is different, although there may be some overly subjective factors and different positions, but she is really the object of admiration.
Putting aside these unimportant digressions for the time being, Sakura had already opened her eyes at this time, but the moment she opened her eyes, she frowned again, raised her left hand, and blocked the light that happened to be coming at her.
Her left eye was slightly open, a little blurry, and her right eye was closed, and after a while, after she had used to the light, she opened both eyes, and although it was not long, Sakura still spent a few hours in a very comfortable dream.
This is completely different from the past, in the past, Sakura slept so peacefully in a handful of cases, not like now, although there is some understanding, but only known for a long time to sleep peacefully, but this is not something to worry about Sakura.
Unlike in the past, although indifferent, but the heart was caused by too much indifference and vigilance, Sakura at this moment, even her heart has been calm, but in the past she was a doll that had nothing to do with "people", and now she is a "person"......
Kikyo is no longer here, and Sakura can guess a little bit, that the shrine maiden probably left the shrine a very early time, and it is estimated that it is about the same stage as the sun's light touching the earth......
Letting Sakura stay at the shrine like this,I have to say,This is also a very bold approach.,That witch must also know that she has the power to take away the jade of the four souls from here.,But,It's so simple to let herself stay here.,This also made Sakura a little surprised.。
"Are you awake? Sister Kikyo had already gone out to collect medicine before, so she wasn't at the shrine now. ”
At this moment, another girl's voice came, and before this voice appeared, Sakura already knew that it was just a little girl who didn't have much power, and turned around, only to see that this was the girl she had seen following Kikyo the day before.
"I know she's not at the shrine.,Besides.,You don't need honorifics for me.,My name is Sakura.,You can just call me by my name.。
Looking at the little black-haired girl, Sakura said calmly, and after the girl heard Sakura's words, she didn't think much about it, so she smiled and nodded, and looking at her smart eyes, she seemed to like Sakura's name very much.
"Okay, Sister Sakura, my name is Kaede, and when I was before, Sister Kikyo ordered me to treat you well!"
Kaede smiled innocently and said to Sakura, who also noticed the teapot and cup in her hand at this moment, and after nodding, let Kaede kneel and sit on the cushion that happened to be opposite her, which was also before Kikyo, and poured two cups of tea for the two.
“……”
Picked up the cup and took a small sip, Sakura didn't take the initiative to say anything anymore, her temperament also decided, most of the time, she would never take the initiative to speak, this has become a habit, or rather, an instinct......
"Listen to my sister, Sister Sakura, are you a half-demon?"
After sitting down, it seemed that after a long silence, probably not being able to bear this dullness, Kaede smiled, looked at Sakura with those eyes of deep curiosity, and took the initiative to ask, she was very curious about this girl who was similar to Kikyo in many ways.
"Well, yes."
After Kaede asked,Sakura didn't have any reason to answer,Calm demeanor,And this only deepened the exploration in Kaede's eyes a lot.,If it's in front of Kikyo,,Kaede probably wouldn't be able to talk so much.,And Sakura is different.,It's so similar to Kikyo.,But it's still only a living person.,For Kaede,,There is no "sister's majesty.。
"So, Sister Sakura, are you a cat demon? It really looks like a cat! ”
Taking this opportunity, perhaps also to pass the time, Kaede continued to ask, and her gaze had shifted to Sakura's undisguised cat ears, as well as the cat's tail that leaked out of her clothes, which was not very obvious.
"No, I'm not a cat demon, but a half-demon of shadows."
Shaking his head slightly, his body was still sitting there upright, but the cat's tail, which was a little shaky, disappeared at this time, and he looked at the clothes with a short hem, and he could guess that Sakura had hidden his tail in his clothes.
Speaking of which, among the reincarnators who came back here, Sakura's body is the most normal, and it is completely different from other people's outfits that are completely out of touch with this era, Sakura is wearing a kimono that is very similar to Hanfu, and that style is the same as what Sakura wore when she was in Daikoku, but there are no lines that highlight her identity.
So, in fact, when I sat down on my knees, because of the slit of the hem, most of the two legs were almost completely exposed, and the cherry blossom that had always had a well-hidden tail was exposed.
"Shadow youkai? I've never heard my sister talk about such a monster......"
Cute turned her head away, and the cloth that wrapped her right eye shook because of this, and at the same time, there was a flicker in her eyes, as if she was puzzled, and seeing her like this, Sakura also squinted her eyes a little and understood something.
"It shouldn't have been that long since you injured your right eye, right?"
"Huh? …… Hmmm......"
Just when Kaede was thinking about something with her head tilted, Sakura suddenly opened her mouth and asked, and this made Kaede stunned for a moment, not knowing what it meant, so she could only respond softly, and after that, she slowly said what happened not long ago.
It was probably a month ago.,There was a time.,There were a lot of monsters who came to snatch the jade of the four souls.,Although it didn't cause any problems to the bellflower.,But that number also caused her to be unable to clean up quickly.,And at that time, because he wanted to help and didn't hide, Kaede was unfortunate enough to be hit.,But fortunately,The bellflower reacted very timely.,So in the end, it just lost an eye.。
"It's just that for a little while, the inside is not completely dead, and your 'right eye' is still very faintly alive."
Ignoring Kaede's surprise when she heard her words, Sakura raised a hand and reached out to Kaede's enveloped left eye, and subconsciously, Sakura tilted her head back slightly, but this didn't hinder Sakura's movements.
However, Sakura didn't touch it directly, but stretched out her fingers as if she was caressing something, and it was at this time that she was completely sure that what lingered there was a faint vitality that only she could feel.
"Sakura, Sakura-san, what do you mean......"
Shrunk a little as if she was both scared and a little happy, Kaede said weakly to Sakura, she was not stupid, on the contrary, following Kikyo for so long also made her very smart, so she could also guess the purpose of Sakura's words.
"Just as a reward, I'll help you restore your right eye."
Sakura said calmly to Kaede, and before Kaede could react, Sakura had already stood up and untied the strip of white cloth that wrapped Kaede's right eye, exposing the entangled parts little by little, and at the same time, Sakura's empty right hand took out a green wine cup.
The sparkling golden luster of the wine began to slowly gush out from the bottom of the wine cup, and the mellow smell began to escape, this is the light wine, with this wine cup, plus some of the characteristics of the cherry blossoms themselves, in any place with life, even if it is not a place where the spiritual veins gather, this fountain of life can be called, but without the spiritual veins, the limit of the day is only this full wine cup.
"Can it really cure my eyes?"
Sakura didn't answer immediately, instead, she turned her gaze to the entrance of this small shrine, and standing there was Kikyo who didn't know when she came back, and she was carrying a big bag at the moment, looking at Sakura, although the look in her eyes was indifferent, it was very similar to Kaede.
“……”
didn't make a sound, but just nodded at Kikyo, Sakura was also waiting for Kikyo's decision, from just now, the object she spoke to, not just Kaede......
"Huh? Sister Kikyo, are you back? ”
At this time, Kaede also turned around and saw Kikyo who was already standing there, and immediately put behind what Sakura was still talking about, and ran towards Kikyo a few steps with a smile......
"Kaede."
Kikyo handed over Kaede's name in a very cold voice, and Kaede looked away a little embarrassed after glancing at Kikyo's eyes, she knew that the relative who knew her best must have known her previous little abacus, but Kikyo's next words made Kaede even more surprised.
"Try it, maybe Sakura-san, it can really help your eyes."
A hand was placed on Kaede's head, even if there was no movement, the temperature seemed a little icy, but I could feel the gentleness, and at the same time, Kikyo also looked at Sakura calmly and nodded slightly......
So, I guess it's a way to say thank you......
