16 The seeker on
Under the cherry blossom tree, the girl dances with a sword.
The clothes worn by the half-spirit swordsman were the same as on weekdays, but under the breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the garden, it was cooler than usual.
Under the refreshing breeze that made people feel comfortable, she swung the sword in her hand smoothly.
The sword in the right hand is extremely long, close to the length of the sword, but the sharp lines of the sword are very different from the curved sword.
The sword in the left hand is extremely short compared to the sword in the right hand, and I am afraid that it is only the size of the rib difference. But the clear cold light also shows that this thing is extraordinary.
Yes, the one with the length of the sword is called the Louguan Sword, and the one that resembles the rib difference is called the Bailou Sword. Both swords are unique in the world.
The sword is superb...... So, what about the people who use them?
Now it seems that it is by no means extraordinary.
The tip of the sword gently slashed through a flying petal, and the thin snow immediately and silently split into two halves.
Accurately capturing the feel of the sword, the half-spirit girl smiled with satisfaction.
The abundant spiritual power circulated in the girl's body, and taking advantage of the high momentum, she wielded the moves of the family tradition.
The spiritual power condensed on the body of the sword, causing the sword to emit a moon-like white light.
The footwork under his feet changed, and the first thing he used was a sword move called [Enlightenment into Fantasy], and then he used the two moves of [Delusion in the Present World] and [Karmic Wind God Flash Slash].
The air hissed like a crack, and even the atmosphere could not remain calm under the high-speed blade. But even with such terrifying power, the figure of the swordsman is still calm. It is by no means the posture of a person who blindly vents violence, but the bearing that only a warrior who adheres to the spirit can have.
The double swords, one long and one short, swung freely in the girl's hands, and there was no sign of stiffness at all. It must have taken her a long time to master how to use both swords.
I was in really good shape today.
The swordsman, who was aware of this, had a little other thought in his heart.
Do you want to try that trick that you haven't practiced yet?
As soon as this thought appeared, it wrapped around her heart like a vine. As a swordsman, it's irresistible**.
"Hoo ......"
Taking a deep breath, she put the Baiguan Sword in her left hand back into the scabbard at her waist, leaving only the Louguan Sword in her right hand.
Then, she aimed at the distant sky of the underworld and unleashed the mystery.
The white sword light sped away. In an instant, the world in the girl's eyes reached eternity.
No, nothing has changed in the world. What has changed is the girl herself, and the boundary between eternity and the ephemeral is infinitely blurred at this moment.
In the eyes of onlookers, I am afraid that this sword is enough to divide the sky as well.
And the girl held the Louguan sword in her right hand in a natural posture and looked up at the sky.
The sword qi that rushed into the sky had gradually faded, and now only a faint white trail could be seen hanging high in the sky.
"Alas......
She sighed in disappointment.
This sword, still unsuccessful.
A sword that may be almost perfect in the eyes of others is still an unqualified product in the eyes of a girl. After studying swordsmanship for more than ten years, at this moment, she couldn't help but once again experience the profundity of the family tradition and the second sword flow of life.
"Youmeng, why do you look depressed?"
The sudden voice of the voice made the half-spirit girl shake, and she immediately walked out of the disappointment.
"Yuyuko-sama!"
Respectfully bowed to the other party.
She looked like a pink-haired woman in her twenties, but her almost transparent white skin and ethereal atmosphere made her aware that she wasn't human.
If you're not human, you're left with only demons and ghosts in this Gensokyo -- no, there are occasional aliens and futurists.
And this woman is the undead who also belongs to the upper level in Gensokyo.,Yuyuko of Xixing Temple.。
"Youmeng, I'm hungry."
After nodding her head and accepting the gift of the demon dream, she said something very abruptly that was already very familiar to the half-spirit girl.
"Okay, I'll go cook for you."
"However, there must be a problem to be solved before eating."
However, before Yumu can actually go to cook, the undead stop her actions.
Why is that?
Although she didn't say the question, the curiosity and shock in the eyes of Youmeng had completely betrayed her.
Although it is rude to think so, the half-spirit is actually very aware of the true face of his lord under the elegant appearance. Not only is it lazy to eat.,It's also extremely unreliable.,I like to play pranks on others to have fun for myself.,Compared with strict self-discipline.,Diligent and thrifty.,Compared with a girl with a pure personality.。
Especially on eating...... Seijiji Yuyuko is simply the embodiment of one of the seven original sins. What was it that allowed her to grieve her appetite, and Youmu was very curious about it.
Under the girl's gaze, the undead spoke.
"Youmeng, were you practicing swords just now?"
"Yes. What's wrong?"
"Is sword training a painful thing?"
Yuyuko's question made Youmu shake her head.
As a swordsman, she never thinks that sword training is a painful thing. It's more enjoyable.
Only a true swordsman can understand what a joy it is to put his spirit on the sword.
"Well, I'm not happy at all when I see your expression."
"Ugh...... This ......"
The appearance of the demon dream was exchanged for the silent gaze of the undead princess, and the attitude that could not be seen made the girl nervous.
"Huh?"
"Well, actually, it's a swordsmanship thing."
"Swordsmanship? Any questions? I saw that sword just now. It looks like even the sky can be split in half."
"It's not enough."
Looking at the Lou Guan Sword that was still in his hand, Youmeng said with an almost obvious disappointment.
"It's because I've seen my grandfather use this trick that I know very well that I haven't reached the highest level yet, and I haven't yet comprehended the true Sui of this mystery."
"Oops, oops...... Is the sword such a profound thing?"
Yuyuko's self-talk in Saiyuki Temple was heard by Youyume. However, the half-spirit did not react to this. If you are not a swordsman, you will naturally not be able to understand this emotion.
"In other words, you've hit a bottleneck, right?"
"Hmm...... Let's just say so."
"That's good."
He slapped his palm gently. Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple seems to have found a solution to the problem.
"You go to the Eternal Pavilion to find the Martial God and ask for advice."
The words that were taken for granted made Youmu think that she had auditory hallucinations.
"That...... Do you mean Flying Will?"
"Uh-huh. If you want to talk about martial arts, that guy is the number one in Gensokyo, and he will definitely be able to help you."
The undead who nodded again and again seemed to wonder why Youmeng had such a question.
Why?
People have nothing to do with Bai Yulou, so why should they guide you?
Could it be that your master and the monster sage are good friends?
That's great.
However, it is precisely because his master and the monster sage are friends that the demon dream also knows that the relationship between the martial god and the realm monster is not very good.
"That, Yuyuko-sama, my position ......."
"You don't have to worry about that. Ah Zi won't be angry because of such a trivial matter."
"No, I mean...... Why do people help me? Yuyuko-sama."
This should be considered a key issue. Youmu doesn't think it's right to go straight to the point and ask an unfamiliar person for a question.
Unexpectedly, Yuyuko didn't answer, but asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Now, Youmu. You've seen that guy, right?"
"That guy? Is that Mr. Feili? Of course I saw it at a drinking party at Hakurei Shrine not long ago."
"What do you think he is?"
"Huh? What to say......"
This really stumped the half-spirit girl, what can she say about a guy who hasn't seen it a few times? However, if she had to say it, she had heard Feili's name before...... From the mouth of grandpa.
"Grandpa also mentioned him to me before, saying that he had never met someone so strong in martial arts...... But............ What shall I say?"
"But you don't feel it at all when you see him in person, do you?"
Yuyuko smiled and said the words for the hesitant demon dream.
"That's right, that's what it feels like!"
Now the expression on Youmeng's face can really be described as "suddenly opened".
"Mr. Fei Li is as unfathomable as the sea and as unpredictable as the breeze, just like a floating immortal, but this is not the temperament of a warrior...... But even though he's a person who can't see through the depths, I don't think he's a bad person."
"That's right...... Youma, but don't be fooled by that guy's appearance. He's a great liar."
"Huh---?"
The rare Yuyuko of Saiyuji who speaks in a serious tone that is easy to misunderstand the words has made the half-spirit girl have a great impact.
I thought that I had such a master, and no matter what happened, I should be able to keep my face unchanged, but now, Youmeng finally found that she was still too tender.
Could it be that there is some entanglement between Yuyuko-sama and Mr. Feili?
A big misunderstanding formed in the girl's mind.
Thankfully, the words that came out of Yuyuko's mouth immediately afterwards made this great misunderstanding disillusioned before it didn't exist for more than a second.
"That guy is a ghostly figure on the battlefield, and even if he becomes harmless to humans and animals now, he will surely happily return to his true colors if necessary--if you only underestimate him because of his current performance, then what awaits you is definitely not a happy ending."
"Ugh...... Is this a word of thumb? Yuyuko-sama."
"No, to be precise, it should be a lesson from the past."
Yuyuko of Xixing Temple smiled.
Youmeng was very sensible and didn't ask who the car of the "previous car" referred to.
"But don't worry too much. That guy isn't as harmless as he seems, but he's an easy fool to deal with."
「…… Huh?"
"Don't look surprised, Youmu. That man is one of those things, who has always believed in the path he has chosen, and who has not hesitated to move forward every time, even if there is an abyss ahead, and Pan Ran has not woken up - if this is stupidity, then it is."
The half-spirit girl disagreed with her master's words. Because, although the words on his lips are almost slanderous, there is no contempt in the eyes of Yuyuko of Xixing Temple.
"Are Yuyuko-sama and Mr. Feili familiar with each other?"
"I'll say hello when we meet, that's how I have a relationship with him."
Hearing such an assertion, Youmeng couldn't help but cover her forehead.
"I thought you and Mr. Fei Li were old acquaintances! Since you don't know him well, why do you dare to assert what kind of person he is?"
"You don't have to know someone very well to know him, but you have to say why I dare to assert it......
At this, Yuyuko paused, and then showed the kind of smile that often made Youmu dizzy.
"As a child, you can't understand the world of adults."
"No, I don't think that's right......
"Anyway, it's okay to go straight to him. Just go ahead."
With that, the undead princess waved her hand directly. It's like you're letting Yumu go.
"Ugh...... Yuyuko-sama, aren't you eating?"
"Ahh......h I'm not hungry yet, so you can get out of here."
In this way, the half-spirit girl who had not fully reacted was sent out of the White Jade Building by her own master in a daze.
