With sore legs, Lily walked out of her place of work, ending her all-night work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cold wind blew, and the thin fabric on his body could not resist the chill at all. Lily shuddered, draped her thick coat over her body, and put on another layer of poncho, and walked briskly towards the house.

She kept her head down her way, her coat and poncho covering the revealing clothes she was wearing, but the inadvertent gazes of the people on the street made Lily feel like a sword.

Lily walked briskly, relieved only slightly when she saw the familiar alley. The pace is faster, walk home from here, one minute is enough, and then don't think about anything, get a good night's sleep.

In front of a house stood a man, a man who Lily recognized at a glance.

"It's him!" Lily felt like she had been struck by thunder, and although she quickly covered her mouth, the overflowing exclamation still made the man turn his head to look at her.

It's him, Lily can fully confirm, it's him.

He glanced at Lily, then turned his head away again, staring at the old door.

Lily felt a deep sorrow, and she walked briskly towards the house with her head down, but the tears could not stop dripping.

She wiped the tears mixed with the rain from the corners of her eyes, but wiped off her hands full of cheap foundation.

"yes, yes, how could he recognize me?"

"How can you recognize me? I am...... I'm ......."

Bang!

Lily slammed the door shut, and fell to the ground as if she had collapsed. She let out a rapid sob, and wanted to cry bitterly, but she couldn't.

"Woo......"

Suddenly, as if she had gone mad, she took off her poncho, took off her coat, and tore up the revealing clothes on her body that showed her occupation at a glance.

She frantically rushed to the bathroom, scooped up cold water and poured it on herself, holding a brush and brushing her skin vigorously over and over again.

"Dirty...... Dirty...... Dirty! “

"It's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty!"

"Can't erase it, can't erase it, can't erase it......"

Lily staggered to her feet, and she smiled sadly, there was no going back to what she had been.

"Musashi...... I ......"

She dried herself and slowly walked out of the bathroom, taking out a set of clothes from the depths of the closet and slowly putting them on.

Squeak.

She gritted her teeth and pushed open the door and walked towards the house she had just had.

……

Musashi looked in horror at the small house in front of him, which he hadn't seen for five years, as if this house was a monster that would devour him.

He slowly stretched out his hand, which was trembling, trembling wildly. Slowly, he inserted the key he had treasured into the door and slowly twisted the doorknob.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Musashi said as loudly as he could, as if an illusion arose in his mind, as if his parents, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, were looking at him in surprise and delight.

However, reality shattered his illusions, and he was greeted only with dust, the dust that covered all the furniture.

Musashi collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "I'm going to visit a friend, it must be." That family is so enthusiastic, they must have kept their parents overnight, and they must have stayed for a long time. “

"Really, after living at a friend's house for so long, don't you clean up after the house is in such a mess? It's already so much ash, forget it, I'll sweep it up. ”

Musashi tried his best to pull out a smiling face, but tears were streaming down his face, and blood was dripping from his clenched hands.

Knock, knock, a slight knock on the door.

Musashi turned his head stiffly, and then, as if he had encountered something he was looking forward to, he jumped up from the ground at once.

"It's back, it's back, it's definitely my parents back."

He twisted the doorknob vigorously and couldn't wait to open it, but it wasn't his elderly parents standing in front of it, but the strange woman he had just seen.

Musashi's gaze became wary.

The woman with her head bowed looked up, and Musashi was stunned by the deep sadness in her gaze.

"Brother Musashi, you're back."

The unfamiliar face tried to show a different expression, a different expression from the usual work. Even though she hadn't had an expression outside of work for a long time, she still wanted to try, at least, at least to make him recognize herself.

Little by little, a familiar feeling came to the unfamiliar face. Eyebrows, eyes, lips, bridge of the nose......

"Yes...... Lily? Musashi asked in disbelief.

Lily broke down and burst into tears: "It's me!" It's me! It's me! “

"Brother Musashi, you're back! You're back! You're back! “

Musashi almost couldn't believe that his childhood sweetheart, that innocent and optimistic girl. That's right, just now, she walked through her door with heavy makeup on her face and a tired expression!

He took a few steps back in disbelief, and Lily smiled sadly.

She walked in and closed the door.

"Brother Musashi, it's good that you're back."

"But you're late, do you know?"

Faced with her sad expression, Musashi wanted to speak, but couldn't say a word.

Lily's tears flowed: "Uncle and aunt, they ......"

"I ...... a year ago Just ......"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Musashi was stunned.

"Just kidding, hey, kidding, kidding!"

Musashi roared nervously, "Just kidding! ”

Lily covered her mouth: "Hunger strike......"

Musashi burst out and grabbed Lily's slender neck with both hands: "Shut up! Shut up! Deceitful! Deceitful! “

Lily's eyes were filled with anticipation and relief, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Musashi let go of his hand and fell to the ground weakly: "Liar...... Deceptive ......"

"Ahem! Ahem! Lily coughed violently, tears streaming down, "I'm dirty." “

"I'm dirty, because I'm dirty."

"Uncle and aunt don't want to eat my food," she lowered her eyes, "I'm dirty, my uncle and aunt are very stubborn people, no matter how hungry they are, they will never eat my food." “

She collapsed and knelt in front of Musashi: "Brother Musashi, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you!" “

"I can't help it, I can't help it, the way I can earn food, it's ...... That's all there is to it! “

"I ...... I ......"

Musashi interrupted her: "They...... Where is it now? ”

Lily stood up silently: "Outside the city." ”

"Follow me."

……

In the midst of the torrential rain, Lily struggled to make her way out of the city.

Musashi hesitated slightly, but held out his hand to her.

Lily froze, then squinted and smiled softly. She shook her head, wiped the splash from the corner of her eye, and continued walking.

It became clearer and clearer, and the time spent playing together as a child came to mind little by little, and the innocent and lovely Lily gradually coincided with the image in front of me. Musashi no longer hated her, he only felt a deep sadness, a sadness for fate.

Lily's tears grew less and less, and with a soft smile on her face, she hummed softly as she sang the ballad she used to sing with Musashi as a child.

"This is it." Lily lowered her gaze and pointed to a raised mound, "It's a joint burial." ”

Musashi's body trembled, and he looked at the mound engraved with his parents' names, kneeling weakly, kowtowing again and again.

"I'm sorry ......"

"I'm sorry ......"

"I'm sorry ......"

"I'm sorry!!"

Lily looked at Musashi tenderly, gently trying to lift him up, but her weak hands and feet couldn't do anything.

"Now, Brother Musashi, it's been a long time since I've been sacrificed. In this way, my uncle and aunt will be hungry. ”

She handed a bunch of keys to Musashi: "I can't walk anymore, there is still food at home, you can go and bring it and sacrifice it to your uncle and aunt." Let me rest here for a while, okay? ”

"I'm really sorry, it's dirty food, if you don't want to, just say it to me."

Musashi looked up, blood streaming down his forehead.

He looked at Lily, nodded heavily, and said astringently, "Thank you......"

Lily shook her head, brushed the hair on her forehead, and smiled softly, "You're welcome." ”

"Hurry up, it's getting heavier."

Musashi stood up, nodded to Lily, and walked briskly towards the city.

Lily had a soft smile on her face all the time, just like she had back then.

……

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Musashi walked with great difficulty carrying the offerings.

"Lily......"

He shouted, and the whole person stayed there.

Lily fell to the ground, red blood staining the ground, still with a gentle and innocent smile on her face.

In her hand she held a dagger that was now deep into her heart.

On her body, a page of paper had been wet with rain.

"I'm sorry to shatter Brother Musashi's impression of me."

"I've thought about ending my life for a long time, but if I don't see Brother Musashi, I'm really unwilling. I'm very happy to see you again today. ”

"Obviously, I always wanted to be Brother Musashi's bride, but in the end, Brother Musashi saw me who was so unbearable...... But at least, at least, if I die cleanly, will I be able to forget my filthy things? Can you touch my head again like you did before? It's good to have a little bit, and I'll be even happier. ”

Musashi hissed.

"Ah!!!!!!h

……

A few days later, several bloody killings occurred in the city, and several government officials were killed.

Outside the city, another mound was erected.

"The Tomb of My Wife Lily."

Musashi raised his head, clenched his fists, and walked in the established direction.

His journey of revenge has only just begun.
