Chapter 10: The Tall One (For Shi Nayo Gamore)

"What do you think?"

Yae Ji said, pulling out the cherry blossom snow from his waist.

In an instant, the faint scent of cherry blossoms became even stronger.

"Oh~" Ned suddenly realized, staring at Sakurabuki's slender blade, "It turned out to be the fragrance of this thing, I thought it was ......"

Ned was interested, how to see how Sakura Fukiyuki loved.

If it were a sword, it would have killed those guys. ’

Ned thought and asked, "Can you cut love?" I guess the price is not an issue. ”

Sakurabukiyuki, in Yaeji's hand, continued to move forward, and the extremely sharp tip of the knife was about to reach Ned's face.

The fine hairs on the cheeks, except for the beard, are stimulated and stand on end.

"Don't change the subject." Yae Ji said lightly.

"Ha, haha." Ned laughed dryly twice, and pressed his fingertips against the back of Sakurabuki's sword, slowly moving on, "I didn't change the subject, I really like this sword."

By the way, what exactly do you call this weapon over there? Knife? Or a sword? ”

"There is no specific name, don't change the subject." Yae Ji's wrist turned slightly, and Sakurabuki's sharp blade immediately aimed at Ned's fingertips, and just by rubbing it, the skin on the fingertips was immediately cut.

Ned's eyes lit up instantly, "At first, I thought it was a sword to wear, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Before Ned could finish speaking, Yae Ji interrupted, "Don't change the subject. ”

"Good, good, good!" Ned was speechless, and just wanted to touch the back of the knife with his bleeding fingertips, thought for a moment, and then replaced it with another intact hand.

Yae Ji lightly knocked it with the back of the knife.

"Whew!"

Ned glared at Yaeki, but the smile returned to his face when he saw Sakurabuki's cold blade retract.

"I think ......"

Yaeji: "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel." ”

Ned: "...... Then what are you asking me to say, isn't it good for us to continue to discuss this delicate and beautiful noble sword? ”

Yaeki: "Sakurabuki has killed more Honkai beasts than you've ever seen. ”

Ned's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath and said, "Really? ”

"I don't believe you, let it slash you." Yae Ji half-lifted Sakura Blowing Snow and stroked back and forth on Ned's body.

"No, no, no! Weapons with a story are more collectible. Ned didn't give up, "You really don't think about it?" If money is an issue, we can discuss other prices. ”

Yaeji: "Give me Kurobuchi White Flower, and we can discuss it." ”

"Black Abyss White Flower?" Ned was a little confused, "What's that?" ”

"You can use it as a weapon like the Heavenly Fire Divine Judgment." Yae Ji replied.

Ned twitched the corner of his eye and said regretfully, "It seems that I can't get the beautiful Miss Sword." ”

Yaeji: "...... It's called Sakurabuki Snow. ”

"Sakura blowing snow? What a good name. Ned tried to touch it with his hand, and Sakurabuki's blade immediately rotated to its current direction.

Yae Ji can swear that it is definitely not in his control.

Maybe Ned's "Miss Sword" made Sakura Fukiyuki very unhappy.

......

At the end of a very common dinner, Ned eats with him in a way that puts aside the burden of nobility. This made Yae Ji wonder what the son of the archbishop was thinking.

It is estimated that it is impossible to get engaged and tie him to the chariot of the Apokalis family.

Because the scandal between him and the eldest lady of the Kaslana family has spread throughout the upper echelons of the Mandate of Heaven.

The benefits of befriending him were not great, and the Apocalis family even accompanied them to a Siti district.

Maybe...... It's his unwarranted sister that's working.

Yaeji thought.

At this dinner, he heard the specific plan of the Heavenly Mandate Holy See to move the capital, and from this point alone, the knight troops of the Heavenly Mandate Holy See were about to reach the point of invincibility in other countries.

The capital is moved to Italy or Austria, which are the closest regions to the center of the European continent on the map. The Mandate of Heaven moved the capital there, and the plan was very big.

The speed of the Celestial Destiny Knights' advance is still a little slow, as long as the Valkyrie troops recover from the shadow of the Great Beast Tide, it is only a matter of time before the Celestial Mandate Sect will land on the continent.

There is also the matter of inspecting the priests, Ned has already given him a package ticket, and he will be able to do it the day after tomorrow at most.

Yaeki in the courtyard looks up at the starry sky.

"I don't know what's going on over there......

"Does my brother care about Sister Karen?"

Sakura's voice suddenly appeared from behind, and Yae Ji's heart directly slowed down by half a beat!

He knew that Karen's stealth was extremely good, when did Sakura's stealth also practice to this point?

Yae Ji remained silent and continued to look up at the starry sky.

"There is one more person to protect, how can you not care? The big families in the Holy See, you can think of them as our village. As long as there are many people......"

"Sister Karen, too, is a poor person."

Yaeji didn't answer.

Yae Sakura stood behind Yae Ji and looked up at the starry sky like her brother.

"Sister Karen is very good, my brother has no problem with her combination, what Rin said...... Brother doesn't care. ”

Yae Ji turned his head sharply, and he found Sakura hugging him from behind.

Wrap your hands around your waist and abdomen, and rest your side face between your two shoulder blades.

"No matter what my brother does, Rin and I will support it.

I know my brother is very busy, and like Rin said, my brother is pushed forward by all kinds of things, and he can't stop for a moment. So...... When my brother is at home, we try our best to create a comfortable environment.

What happened that day...... I'm really sorry. ”

"It's obviously me who wants to apologize." Yae Ji forcibly turned around and picked up Sakura's little face.

His lips moved, his head lowered slightly, and Yae Ji quickly pulled away again, hugging Sakura with both hands holding his little face.

"When I was in the village before, I wanted to be with Sakura and Rin forever, and I didn't need anything else but everyone to be happy. After that, when I came to Destiny, I wanted to make life better, collapse and save the world, and leave it to tall people to carry it. As long as there are Sakura and Rin, what do I care about them?

Later I met Karen and met my comrades. Completed many quests, navigated the Honkai Beast Tide, and fought the rebels...... The beast tide is really terrifying, and the monsters in the village used to be like a cub that has not yet been weaned in front of them.

Clearly told himself that no one is important except for his family, and the feelings he infringed on are all disguises...... But I can't. When they die before my eyes...... I am afraid, I am afraid of death, and I am afraid of losing you.

You know, Sakura. The ferocity of the monsters was vulnerable in the face of the beast tide, and many warriors were trampled into flesh and mud, and when the funeral was held, it was only blood and mud dug from the battlefield.

I don't know what he thinks of the tall one, who has sacrificed himself for someone else, but he has a chance to escape. ”

Yae Ji rested his chin on Sakura's small brain, recalling the unexpected and cruel Purgatory battlefield for him.

"If I become the tallest one, Sakura, will you and Rin support me?"

......
