How many people have passed away in ancient and modern times, how can they make up the sky with candles and tears? It's rare to get Hyosung, so why not drink and talk with the flowers.

――――――――――――

When Zhibei arrived at Meihong's house, it was already late at night when he only heard the wind.

The whole city was asleep in the dark, but from time to time the nice voices of the maidens could be heard from the hut in front of them.

"Sister Hong, that's great! You're finally refreshed! This is the voice of Kaguya who can't hide her joy.

"Yes, that's great...... this is Zi's unhurried voice, "Little sister Hong, you are really a strong child!" ”

Hearing the words of these two people, Zhibei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Mei Hong, this kind, cheerful, and upright child, it is precisely because that heart is too yearning for beauty that Zhibei is very worried, worried that she will not be able to get out of this painful cage.

However, judging from Murasaki and Kaguya's words now, it seems that the situation is not bad.

Relieved, Zhibei gently knocked on the wooden door.

The room was quiet for a while, and then the door in front of Zhibei was opened.

"Ahh I'll just say it...... Sure enough, it's my brother! Purple's golden eyes appeared in the night, and she blinked cutely, her mature voice tinged with joy.

"Hmm...... It's me. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Zhibei touched his purple silk-like hair with a hand that was still intact.

Purple also showed a vague smile, but when she glanced at her brother's body, the smile disappeared: "Huh!? Brother...... You're hurt, show me! ”

"Well...... It's just a small injury, it's just a scrape of skin during the fight, don't be so nervous......" looked at his embarrassed appearance - covered in mud, and his clothes were torn a few times, in order not to worry Zi, Zhibei had to say lightly.

"I didn't say anything about your injuries! It's just a small injury, I'm talking about your right hand...... That's not a small injury......" Zi said a little nervously, she grabbed Zhibei's right arm hidden behind her, and put the already bloody palm on her left hand.

This time, Zhibei didn't stop Zi's kindness, because he knew that it would only make Zi more worried, so he let Zi fiddle with his hand. Although the pain in this hand was so painful that he was almost unconscious, Zhibei still felt the faint temperature coming from Zi's smooth skin.

I guess it's a psychological effect...... Zhibei smiled bitterly, he had originally planned to deal with this wound by himself, but now he was easily discovered by Zi.

"It's obviously very badly injured! Brother, you're such a big idiot! Zi glanced at Zhibei and roared dissatisfiedly, and then she used the purple demonic power, "The realm of the virtual and the real." ”

Empty umbrellas were held up on their heads, blocking the falling drizzle.

"The realm of movement and stillness...... the blood that was constantly seeping from the wound stopped flowing.

Looking at Zi, who was going to continue, Zhibei interrupted her treatment, "Zi, don't go on." ”

"Why? I can cure it, but if I leave it like this, I might get infected! ”

"It's not a wound from the fight, it's a wound I made myself, and I want it to be intact through my own strength...... Because I want to use this pain to remember this lesson. ”

Zi gently stroked Zhibei's hand, and complicated emotions flowed in her golden eyes, "Really?" Lessons...... All right! Then let the wayward brother solve it himself! ”

"It's really empathetic! Purple ......" Zhibei praised and took his hand back, he tore a rag from his body, scalded it with the power of fire, and then wrapped his hand. He forgot to do this before, and as a result, Purple found this wound, but now, he should still be able to hide Kaguya!

"Father, what's wrong with you, why haven't you come in yet?" Kaguya shouted to the two standing in the doorway as he stood under the eaves.

"Don't worry, Kaguya, it's just that your father is a little injured!" At Zhibei's signal, Zi turned back to Kaguya and said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, now that I've taken care of it, we'll go over." ”

When Zhibei and Zi walked to the eaves, he was stunned for a moment, because, in his eyes, it was no longer the innocent and lively girl with black hair before, but the girl with white hair, pale face, exuding a withered and desperate atmosphere. This great difference made Zhibei feel a strong sense of strangeness for a moment, and then he fell into the quagmire of worry.

However, he quickly put his mind at ease, because Meihong had a strong smile on her face, the smile born in weakness, just like a pink lotus flower blooming in the sludge, even if she was uneasy, even if she was worried, even if she was still afraid, she had regained the courage to live.

It can be said that the most difficult hurdle has passed!

"Sister Hong," looking at Sister Hong's somewhat unnatural expression, Zhibei said very naturally, "Your smile is very beautiful!" ”

"Mr. Zhibei, Mr. Zhibei." Hearing Zhibei's sudden compliment, Mei Hong was a little at a loss, but she still said very politely, "Thank you!" ”

"That ......" a hesitant look appeared on the girl's red face.

"What's wrong...... If there's anything you want to ask, just ask! Zhibei said seriously, the expression on Meihong's face had already made him almost guess what she wanted to ask.

"That...... My father he," Mei Hong suddenly abandoned her hesitation, expressing her resoluteness in a vicious tone that she had worked hard to make, "Isn't Fujiwara still alive than waiting for him?" ”

"......" was silent for a while, Zhibei touched Mei Hong's head, revealing a smile mixed with gentleness and guilt, "Don't be so painful, Mei Hong, don't take other people's sins on yourself." Moreover, I want to say that I am sorry, because I did not kill Fujiwara Fubi, and I did not avenge your teacher, my kind friend. But well...... Maybe it's justifying your own weakness! When I realized that Kanata had really died, I didn't regret letting Fujiwara go for free. Because, I don't want to give that ugly soul an easy relief, death is not the same as atonement! ”

"Yes...... ......Hearing this complicated news, Meihong's heart welled up with mixed emotions, both hatred for Fujiwara and the fact that he was not yet dead, and strange relief that her father, although he was no longer alive. She listened to Zhibei's words, but she couldn't tell whether they were right or wrong, but she suddenly understood quickly—like a drowning man grasping at straw, she grasped the target.

"Well...... Sister Hong, I know your heart is very messy now, but don't let other people's fate become your chains, don't let precious fetters become piles of dust, you can still think about it, and you can continue to think about it, people...... As a living person, you should not let go of the will to continue living. ”

Listening to Zhibei's earnest words, Mei Hong shook her head, "Mr. Zhibei, I already understand, I won't want to ask for death anymore, because, I already understand what you mean." Thank you, Fujiwara Fubi's life will be ended by my own hands. ”

Looking at Mei Hong's pursed lips, Zhibei suddenly had a feeling of regret - did he do something wrong?

He seemed to see a sad future to come.

So much so that the feeble sigh naturally came out of his mouth.
