Soon after the production of "Madoka Magi" was completed, Yu Kamiya followed the verbal agreement with Uehara Eizuki not long ago to visit her in person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His mood was subtle and a little apprehensive, feeling as if he had done something unsightly and was discovered by his elders, Uehara Ezuki was probably one of the women who knew him best, so what would she think of this farce-like development.

"This way, please."

Dressed in casual clothes, Murasaki Kamijima led Kamiya Yu to a spacious but simply furnished Japanese-style room, where Uehara Eizuki knelt on a cushion in the center of the room, and what attracted Kamiya's attention were two things placed in front of Uehara Eizuki, one was a metal basin on a wooden shelf, filled with water, and the other was a delicate Japanese dagger placed on a tray and presented with a white cloth, all white, and the daggard was tied with a dark purple ribbon. Taken together, these two things feel like they're performing some kind of ritual.

Wash hands of? Seppuku suicide?

Yu Kamiya immediately thought of these two idioms in his mind, and then put them behind him, no matter how he looked at things, it was impossible for things to develop to the extent of these two states of affairs.

"Please be seated, Kamiya-kun." Uehara sat dignified and nodded to Yu Kamiya, his expression as calm and flat as usual.

"Thank you."

Yuu Kamiya sat on the cushion facing Uehara Eizuki, and Poison Island Murasaki, who followed him, knelt on the other side of the room and waited quietly for the two to talk, the solemn atmosphere in the room made Kamiya Yu dare not break the awkward silence.

Uehara Emitsu pondered for a long time, looking at Kamiya Yu's delicate phoenix eyes with a completely different sharpness and seriousness: "Kamiya-kun, I ask again here about Purple, are you already planning to accept Poison Island Purple's request?" ”

The solemn inquiry made Kamiya's heart beat faster, and he replied in a somewhat difficult tone, "Eh... Yes." ”

"That's good." Uehara Ezuki seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded to Poison Island Purple next to him, who also had a solemn face, and then explained softly to Yu Kamiya, who couldn't figure out the situation: "Don't worry, I don't have the right to ask Kamiya-kun and Purple about it, and of course it's impossible to do anything from a position of opposition." This time, Kamiya-kun was invited to visit the house only to complete a traditional ceremony between our Uehara family and the Poison Island family, as proof of the transfer of personal guards to Kamiya-kun. ”

The purple expression of the poison island next to him was unwavering, and it seemed that he had expected this result.

"I see, although I don't know what the ceremony is, if there is anything that needs to be done, please ask the teacher to tell me directly."

Hearing Uehara's explanation, Kamiya Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded solemnly, and looked curiously at Uehara Aezuki waiting for her next move. Seeing her holding the delicate dagger on the tray with both hands, and after pulling it out, she could see the blade with a cold aura, Uehara Ezuki looked at the dagger and said: "Every official member of the Poison Island family who is recognized will have a similar short sword, they represent the loyalty of that family member, and if the master who serves the member of the Poison Island family wants to transfer his own guards, he will also transfer this short sword representing loyalty to others." ”

"This tradition has been going on since the time of the RB war, and although I don't like it myself, this kind of ritual can reduce the trouble that may arise in the future." Uehara said flatly, he had already slashed his right index finger with a short dagger, and the oozing blood beads smeared on the blade, and then submerged the dagger blade in the water, washing away the blood on it.

After doing this step, Uehara Ezuki picked up a short dagger with both hands and sent it to Kamiya Yu and smiled: "Next it's Kamiya-kun's turn, Kamiya-kun can use his tail finger, as an animation supervisor, you can't take good care of your hands." ”

"The teacher used his index finger just now, so it doesn't matter if I'm here." Kamiya Yu smiled, took the short dagger and hesitated to swipe his index finger, and after a cold feeling, there was a sharp pain of cutting the skin with a sharp weapon, not very painful, but the act of cutting oneself with a knife would definitely have a lot of psychological resistance for ordinary people.

"Is that okay?" Yu Kamiya asked as he handed the blood-smeared dagger back to Uehara Eizuki.

Uehara nodded at him, took the dagger with both hands and walked over to Poison Island Purple with a soft smile. Poison Island Purple took the dagger with a complicated face, completed the last step of this ritual, and gently sucked the blood belonging to Yu Kamiya and swallowed it with a dagger. After doing all this, Uehara continued to wash the dagger with clean water, wiped the water droplets on the dagger with a white cloth and returned the dagger to the sheath again.

"From now on, this short sword belongs to Kamiya-kun." Uehara Ezuki holds the tray in both hands and presents a short dagger to Yuu Kamiya.

・・・・・・

After the seemingly solemn ceremony, nothing unusual happened, Uehara Ezuki first helped Kamiya Yu bandage the finger that had just been cut with a hemostatic patch, and Poison Island Purple packed up the metal basin and left the room. The atmosphere in the silent room fell into embarrassment for a while, and at this time, Kamiya Yu, who was in a messy mood, didn't know what to say, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to test Uehara Ezuki's true opinion on this matter.

Yu Kamiya, who was sitting directly across from Uehara Ezuki, asked in a uneasy whisper, "The teacher is not angry?" ”

"Why be angry? Kamiya-kun and Purple are both wishful thinking, and Purple is much better by Kamiya-kun's side than staying by my side all the time. Uehara Etsuki, who was in a daze, shook her head lightly when she heard Kamiya Yu's words, and her calm attitude made it impossible to see her true opinion on this matter. Indeed, it is the fate of Poison Island Purple to stay by her side all her life, and if she serves Kamiya Yu, life will at least be much richer, and this is the only time Poison Island Purple has requested.

Kamiya Yu was dumbfounded, and asked tentatively, "The teacher's reaction was much more bland than I expected, and I thought that the teacher would at least reprimand me severely." ”

Uehara Ezuki chuckled with his hands on the kneeling jade legs, "If Kamiya-kun doesn't treat Purple well, maybe this will happen in the future." ”

Yu Kamiya was embarrassed in his heart, he really couldn't guarantee to treat Poison Island Purple well, because by general definition, his behavior was now disqualified behavior between partners.

"Speaking of which, there is indeed a question that needs to be confirmed about the matter of purple, Kamiya-kun, what does the dome think of this matter?" Uehara Ezuki frowned and asked, the last thing she wanted was a change in the relationship between Yu Kamiya and Kamiya Dome because of the purple matter.

Kamiya Yu shook his head and said, "She said she didn't want to meddle in the matter with me Purple. ”

"That's right." Uehara Emitsu pondered for a moment and didn't ask, Kamiya Yu's words have already said a lot of things. (To be continued.) )
