"Haa......"
The undead girl running through the cherry blossom forest let out a rapid gasp.
The garden of the White Jade Building is very large, and if you enter it in the spring, you will be dazzled by the blooming cherry blossoms and you will not be able to get out for a while.
But even so, Yuyuko's breathing shouldn't be disordered like this. Although she looks like a normal human, she is not human after all.
How can a human being, who relies on an inefficient chemical reaction called aerobic respiration to keep his body moving, can be compared to Yuyuko, who is a spirit. In a physical sense, the word fatigue should be completely insulated from Yuyuko.
But now the girl was gasping for breath in pain. This is not because her physical strength has dried up, but because of the burden of the mind.
Dragging her body affected by the pain in her heart, Yuyuko rushed towards the westward demon.
I blame myself for my immaturity, and I am anxious about the anxiety that I can't put down. How pitiful a girl who is in such distress is this.
Yuyuko, who was running, couldn't help but show an expression as if she was about to cryββββ
Looking at her, Purple will show a very gentle expression.
Looking at her, Purple will smile with pleasure.
However, Saigyoji Temple also knows very well. The person she was looking at was definitely not herself.
Every time I looked at the undead girl, the figure reflected in Yakumo's eyes was not this empty shell. The nostalgic and sad emotions hidden in the depths of his eyes did not escape Yuyuko's eyes.
That's why the girl can feel that Yakumo Purple is overlapping herself with others.
Remember the past through the figure in front of you.
I'm just a substitute for someone...... Or a mutilated replacement.
Such a fact has been hidden for a long time, but it is the first time that the anxiety and sadness in his chest have been poured out like today.
However, this does not mean the beginning of a break between the undead princess and the realm monster.
ββββ subconsciously ran towards the girl who was called the westward demon and saw the familiar figure under the tree.
β¦β¦ Even if you close your eyes, you can remember each other's smiles and smiles.
"Purple ......"
The monster sage standing quietly under the westbound demon was still as beautiful as ever, but her expression lacked that extraordinary compulsion compared to usual.
With a little bleakness, there is a faint sadness and remorse between his eyebrows, which really doesn't look like the high-spirited monster sage in the past.
If Ibuki or Yoshikuma Yuyi had seen her like this, they might have been surprised to squirt out the wine.
"Yuyuko, I'm ......"
This is no domineering tone, and it is no different from ordinary women.
In fact, Yakumo Murasaki is regretting it.
If she had changed her attitude earlier, maybe this situation would not have happened today.
As long as she can realize as soon as possible that the girl in front of her is not the Yuyuko of Xixing Temple that she is familiar with and knows.
Even Yakumo, who claims to be able to manipulate any concept, can't convert life and death in the true sense. So she should know this very well...... The deceased do not return to the living.
The Yuyuko who has memories of getting along day and night between the two has long since disappeared on that day. And this undead who reawakened under the westward demon, no matter how similar her appearance is to Yuyuko, no matter how similar her personality is to Yuyuko, she is not the human girl Yakumo Zi knows.
Failed to recognize this in time.,Purple, who still has a nostalgia for the past.,Mistakenly thought of the undead girl as the human who accompanied him in the past.γ
Now she has broken free from this delusion.
But yesββββ even if your friends don't exist anymore. It can't be denied that the undead in front of him is the life of his friend...... A certain continuation.
Similar yet distinct beings.
There is no reason to abandon it.
"If I win. Tell me the story of you and that man."
However, Yuyuko interrupted Yakumo Murasaki with a resolute attitude, and she was now far from her usual empty appearance.
But Yakumo Murasaki knew very well where this resolute attitude came from. That's the kind of temperament that only people who have made up their minds will have.
I've seen it many times today, and I've never stopped fighting even though I'm dying, and Yakumo Murasaki has encountered it many times in the past thousand years. It is the firmness of a person who puts everything aside and only wholeheartedly achieves a certain goal.
However, compared to those people, Yuyuko is less murderous and combative, and more indifferent.
It's like embracing the coming pain with a clear mind.
It's so tragic that it's heart-wrenching, but I can't help but have respect for it.
"Just let my "emptiness" go and bury your "past"......
γβ¦β¦ There's no need for that."
The ruby eyes stared at the graceful undead, full of solemnity and coldness unlike before.
This is proof that the monster sage is none other than Yuyuko of Saigyoji.
"You are not an empty shellββββ the emotions and tears that have poured out of you are the best proof of this."
From today on, Yakumo Murasaki will no longer regard Sekyuko of SaikyΕji Temple as a shadow of the past.
"Huh...... You finally have what I look like in your eyes......
The tears that slipped down his cheeks may have come from joy.
All sounds seemed to be erased, and disappeared into the chirping of cicadas.
And Yuyuko waved the folding fan and danced in a graceful posture.
This is not a life-or-death battle that will determine your life.
It's just a communication that can be achieved through action.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Purple ......"
γβ¦οΌγ
Still under the westward demon, Yuyuko is leaning on Yakumo Murasaki's lap.
The hat that always wore on his head was gone, and only the pale pink hair was spread out.
"I also know one, you who don't know Purple."
"Hey ......"
"The Purple of me, who always looks at me and doesn't know, always has a regrettable expression."
"I'm so sorry."
Purple's expression is always the same. Calm. However, it is not difficult for Yuyuko to see the sadness beneath this surface.
"This is the first time I've cried."
As she spoke, Purple reached out and stroked the top of Yuyuko's head.
"yes, for the first time. I was just...... I want to know you."
"Me too... I never thought I wanted to know you that way."
Yes, if you had gone earlier to get to know the girl in front of you more deeply, instead of immersing yourself in the memories of the past. None of this would have happened today.
But for some reason, at this moment, there was no special remorse in Zi's heart.
"I lost...... I'll tell you if I want to know."
With a frank mood, she plans to tell Yuyuko about the past.
γβ¦ That's enough, that's enough for today."
"Yuyuko?"
The undead girl stood up from Purple's arms. Although she couldn't see her expression, Purple could feel the girl's breath...... Unprecedented mildness.
"That's enough...... And I have my first memory, don't you?"
γβ¦β¦ yes."
Hearing Yuyuko's words, Purple couldn't help but smile with emotion.
"So, next year's tribute, let's use steamed buns!"
Suddenly, there was an extremely serious deviation in the direction of the topic, so that even Yakumo Zi couldn't help but be stunned for a momentββββ but maybe she was just smiling at Yuyuko's unimaginably brilliant gaze that she had never had.
"Huh?"
"After the two of you drink tea together, don't you have new memories? What do you think?"
From a certain point of view, it is really a refreshing proposal.
"Poof...... yes."
Although she wanted to laugh, Purple finally resisted the urge.
"That's what we are."
ββββ gloomy atmosphere has been swept away.
This is like the words, tears should be left for the past, as for the future......
Of course, I faced it with a smile.
