Chapter 17 (17) Confession to the bellflower
Another chapter owed...... Depressed......
"Today is the first day of training, as a witch, although spiritual power is very important, physical strength is also indispensable, so," Chu Yue looked at the little bellflower with a sweat towel on his head and said, "Physical strength is also good training, you and I run from the village to the bone eating well every day, you have to pass the era tree on the way, and then run back." This training is done every day. ”
"That...... Brother Chu Yue ......" Little Kikyo said, "The era tree is that tree?" ”
"Oh, the Tree of the Times," Chu Yue said, "it's the thickest tree outside the village." ”
"That tree is called the Tree of the Times...... Kikyo said with some curiosity.
"Well, let's go, let's go." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she took the lead in trotting towards the Times Tree.
"Yes!" Little Kikyo immediately followed behind Chu Yue, although Chu Yue was trotting, but Kikyo was running in a hurry to keep up with Chu Yue.
When she arrived at the Times Tree, Chu Yue stopped and saw the little bellflower running over panting.
"Okay, I'm so tired......" said Kikyo.
"Then take a break. After all, you are still relatively young, and it is the first time to run like this, and it will still be difficult for you to complete such a task. ”
"Yes......" Little Kikyo sat on the root of the Times Tree and looked up at the big tree.
"Legend has it that the Tree of the Ages has the ability to transcend time." Chu Yue looked at the little bellflower and said, "In the future, I will teach you the arrow of sealing, if it is on the tree that is sealed, it can keep the sealed person in its original appearance!" ”
"Sealed Arrows?" Little Kikyo said.
"Hehe, I'll teach you later." Chu Yue smiled, "Yo Xi, let's run to the Bone Eater Well together!" ”
"Yes!"
……
"Kikyo, what kind of attacks do you like?" Chu Yue asked.
"Attack?" Little bellflower said a little strangely.
"Well, that's the way to get rid of demons." Chu Yue said, "Some witches like to use swords, some witches like to use some strange magic weapons, and some witches like to use Shikami, such as Tsubaki, who is a witch who likes to use Shikkai." ”
"Is it a weapon, so to speak?" Little Kikyo asked.
"Well, it can be understood in this way," Chu Yue said, "Of course, you can also use mana to destroy monsters without weapons, but although this is more effective, it will take a lot of effort." ”
"So, is it okay to use a bow?" Little Kikyo asked.
"Absolutely." Chu Yue smiled, "I knew that Kikyo was going to use a bow, so ......" Chu Yue immediately took out the bow that had been prepared from the divine world.
"This bow, for you, Kikyo." Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you, Brother Chuyue!" Kikyo took the bow and said with some excitement.
"So, today I'm going to teach you the most basic and most important move as a witch who uses a bow and arrow, the Demon Breaking Arrow." Chu Yue said, "First of all, you must master the correct posture. After Chu Yue finished speaking, she took out another barrel of arrows from the gods, "Then, let's start practicing the most basic archery posture first." ”
"Yes." Kikyo immediately replied happily. He took the arrow and began to place it on the bow and pull it up.
"Well, the general movements are still correct," Chu Yue said, "mainly needs to revise some details." ”
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she walked to the little bellflower who was throwing the bow and was in a posture, grabbed the little bellflower's hand with both hands, and also attached the little bellflower to her body, saying, "The hand that pulls the arrow should be light, so as not to let the arrow deviate because it is too heavy when it is shot." The other hand should extend the index finger, yes, that's it, the index finger is parallel to the arrow, as a guide to the target......"
Chu Yue said, smelling the body fragrance on the little bellflower, a little fluttery...... (This bastard...... )
After teaching the little bellflower, Chu Yue let go of the little bellflower's hand and walked aside.
"Now, let's try shooting this era tree!" Chu Yue said, "Huh? Kikyo, what's wrong with you, you look a little red......" (Han Xue: This is a knowingly asked--Chu Yue: We just like it, what's the matter!) Han Xue: It's okay...... The plot needs ...... )
"No, it's fine." Kikyo replied immediately, but his face turned even redder......
"Pay attention to rest...... Chu Yue said, "Then shoot this arrow first." ”
"Yes......" Kikyo replied, and threw himself into archery in earnest.
"Whoosh-" The arrow flew straight at the trunk of the Tree of the Times.
"That's right, you can shoot so far with the first archery, and the deviation is not too far in general......" Chu Yue smiled, "Kikyo, you are really talented." ”
"Thank you, Brother Chu Yue." Kikyo said happily. Then he began to draw his bow and shoot arrows again.
"Well, you practice the strength and accuracy of archery now, and when these exercises are good, I will teach you the Arrow of Demon Destruction. When you learn how to break demons, you'll be a good shrine maiden. ”
"Yes!" Little Kikyo said with some excitement.
……
"So, how are you practicing with the Demon Breaker now?" Chu Yue asked the little bellflower.
"It's just practice now, and I haven't really fought with youkai...... So, I don't know what happened to my Demon Breaker now......" Kikyo replied.
"......Yes, too," Chu Yue thought for a while, "I thought that there would be monsters in our village occasionally attacking, but I didn't expect that there were almost no monsters coming...... There's no way to do it......"
"That...... Brother Chu Yue," Little Kikyo interrupted Chu Yue's train of thought, "We can go somewhere else to help eliminate the demon." ”
"But......" Chu Yue looked at Kikyo with some concern, "You're only 14 years old now...... If you're traveling long distances, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it......"
"It's okay," Kikyo said with a smile, "and that's practice." ”
Looking at the smiling bellflower, Chu Yue smiled with relief, "Okay, then practice for a while today, and we'll set off tomorrow!" ”
"Hmm!"
……
"Sister, do you really want to go with Brother Chu Yue......" Xiao Feng watched from the house as Xiao Kikyo was packing up.
"Well, Brother Chu Yue also agrees, we need to go out to fight the demon." Kikyo replied, "When I'm away, you have to be obedient and don't cause trouble to your neighbors." The food and clothes given by Brother Chu Yue are very sufficient, and we will come back soon. ”
"But......" said Xiao Feng, "you and I are the only ones left at home...... Now you're leaving, I, I'm ......" Xiao Feng couldn't say the following words.
Xiao Kikyo was stunned for a moment, then walked over and hugged Xiao Feng, "It's okay, Brother Chu Yue and I will be back soon......"
Xiao Feng also hugged Xiao Kikyo, "I, I also want to go with my sister and Brother Chu Yue......"
"No, Kaede-......," Kikyo said immediately, "it's dangerous to encounter a youkai...... You haven't been in training, so we can't afford to spend too much energy looking at you......"
"Then I'm going to train too, and I'm going to be a shrine maiden too!" Xiao Feng replied immediately.
"Yo! It seems that they are saying goodbye," Chu Yue walked into the room and saw Xiao Kikyo and Xiao Feng who were hugging, "Does Xiao Feng also want to be a witch?" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Feng immediately said, "I also want to go out with my sister and Brother Chu Yue to eliminate demons." ”
Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, Feng, I didn't take you into account when I wanted to go out......"
"No, it's not Brother Chu Yue," Xiao Feng said, "Brother Chu Yue wants to teach Sister Kikyo, it's hard every day, but I'm not like ...... person like this."
"Bear with me for a few more days, Kaede," Chu Yue walked over to Kaede and squatted down and stroked Xiao Feng's hair and said, "When I come back with Kikyo, I'll teach you how to be a witch." ”
“…… Well! Xiao Feng was silent for a while and nodded.
"By the way, Kikyo, this dress is for you." Chu Yue said, taking out a piece of clothing from the gods, "This is the clothes of a witch, wear him, others can know that you are a witch." ”
"Thank you, Brother Chu Yue." Little Kikyo took the clothes with some excitement.
"I'm so envious......" Xiao Feng said on the side.
"Why, why don't you try it now?" Chu Yue asked with a smile.
"Huh? Now ......" Kikyo immediately blushed.
"Alas...... Now you can avoid me when you change your clothes...... When you were a child, you always pestered me to go to the bath with me......" Chu Yue immediately fell into a memory......
"Well, that's when I was a child...... "Kikyo immediately retorted with a blushing face.
"Well~ just kidding." Chu Yue smiled, "Just change it tomorrow, I'll go first." ”
"Hmmm......"
"Brother Chu Yue, goodbye."
……
"Let's go, Kikyo."
After saying goodbye to everyone at the entrance of the village and Kikyo, Chu Yue walked towards the outside of the village.
"Brother Chu Yue, do we have any destination for walking like this?"
"Ah, if you have a destination, there is," Chu Yue said, "I'll take you to a place, and speaking of which, it can be regarded as my hometown in this world." ”
"Hometown?" Little Kikyo immediately said with some curiosity, "Is it the place where Brother Chu Yue was born?" ”
"No," Chu Yue said with a smile, "The place where I was born, the day after I was born, all the people in the village were killed by a monster...... Before I knew it, I killed that youkai, and that's when I did. I found myself with great spiritual powers. ”
"Wow, Brother Chu Yue was born with nothing but one monster?" Kikyo asked incredulously.
"yes, I was born to talk and walk, although I don't know why."
"And where are we going?" Kikyo asked again.
"It's the village that adopted me," Chu Yue said, "All the people in that village are demon slayers, and I trained this skill in that village." ”
"It's all a demon slayer's village?" Little Kikyo was a little surprised and said, "That sounds amazing." After saying that, Kikyo looked at the sky with expectant eyes.
"Looking forward to it, right? We'll be there in a few days. Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Hmm!"
……
"Let's spend the night in this village today," Chu Yue saw a village in front of her, "It's not early, let's go quickly." ”
"Well, if there are youkai, we can practice by the way." Kikyo said, "I'm still a little bit interested in meeting youkai......
"Hehe, Kikyo, it's not right for you to have such an idea!"
"I'm sorry ......"
When I entered the village, a villager immediately came up to ask questions.
"You're a shrine maiden and a mage, right?"
"Yes, we are travelling demon slayers, is there anything we can do to help you?" Chu Yue said.
"You're here just in time, it's been a long time since the village was haunted by a monster." The villagers said, "There is a monster that will run into the village and take away the children in a few days, and the bones of the children will be found the next day, so that everyone is afraid that their children will be taken away......
"Are you the monster who kidnapped the child......" Chu Yue said, "Leave it to us." We're going to catch youkai. ”
"yes, thank you so much."
Night.
Chu Yue and Little Kikyo stayed at the home of a relatively wealthy person in the village for a while, waiting for the monster to come again.
"We've got a room for the two of you, and you can go and rest at any time." The owner of the house said, "What is needed." The two of them may be told. ”
"That...... Why is it a room? Kikyo asked.
"Aren't you two husband and wife?" The owner of the house immediately asked with some surprise.
"No...... "Kikyo said immediately, blushing.
"Hmm...... But we only have one room left...... "The owner of the house said at once with some embarrassment. "In that case, I can only invite one of you to the house of another villager......
"That's still ...... Forget it, don't bother others......" said Kikyo "Just prepare a bed for two......"
"This ...... Okay......" said the owner of the house, and immediately retreated and prepared.
"What, doesn't Kikyo want to be with me? When you were a child, you often said that you couldn't sleep if you didn't sleep with me......" Chu Yue asked teasingly.
"That was all when I was a child...... "Little Kikyo immediately blushed and said, "Brother Chu Yue, don't mention it when you were a child......"
"Okay...... Chu Yue shrugged helplessly, "That...... Let's talk about growing up......" Chu Yue faced the little bellflower and said with a serious expression, "Kikyo, are you willing to be my wife?" ”
"Huh?" Little Kikyo didn't react for a while, "What, what......"
"Kikyo, I liked you when you were very young." Chu Yue said, "At that time, I had this idea, but after all, you are still young, I have been waiting for you to grow up, and when you grow up, I can say it."
Kikyo's face turned even redder......
"Now that you're 14 years old, it's still a little too young to get married, but in another 3 years, it's time to talk about getting married...... So......" Chu Yue continued, "So, I want to ask if you would like to be my wife?" ”
Steam rose from the head of the little bellflower......
"Kikyo?"
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Little Kikyo ran out of the house at a rapid pace. Chu Yue was left alone in the house.
"This ......" Chu Yue watched the little bellflower run out, "Is this a confession failure......"
Little Kikyo ran out, because he closed his eyes and didn't look at the road at all, and before he knew it, he had run to the entrance of the village.
"It's already here...... "Kikyo said with some disappointment, "...... the hell I'm going to"
Before the following words could be spoken, Kikyo immediately noticed a youkai walking towards the village.
"Huh?" Kikyo immediately focused on the monster, "That monster, is it the monster that eats the children in the village?" ”
Little Kikyo immediately hid behind a tree, thinking to himself, according to the villagers, this monster is usually very bold, and always comes to the village in broad daylight to kidnap children, which is why we dare to sleep at night. This time it came at night......
The youkai didn't notice Kikyo and walked straight into the village.
Little Kikyo really wanted to shoot an arrow from the back of the monster at this time, but he didn't take a bow and arrow when he came out, and the little bellflower was in a dilemma, do you want to go out now and fight the monster with spiritual power? This can catch it off guard, but it's the first time I've fought a monster, so I can't guarantee my win......
In the end, Kikyo decides to take a risk and unleash his spiritual power from behind.
"Ahh The monster immediately shouted angrily.
"Actually, it's all right?" Little Kikyo was a little surprised, but immediately reacted and released his spiritual power again.
"Ahh......h You, you're ......" The youkai was in pain from the spiritual power, but immediately took action and ran towards the little bellflower.
"Huh?!" Kikyo was startled by the monster's move, and suddenly forgot to dodge and closed his eyes.
"Whoosh-" An arrow landed on the youkai, and the youkai screamed, and was quickly destroyed.
Kikyo opened his eyes and saw an arrow on the ground.
"Kikyo, your spiritual power can definitely be strong enough to destroy that monster, but after being rushed by the monster, you forgot to continue to release your spiritual power, which means that your actual combat experience is still a little insufficient." Chu Yue walked in front of the little bellflower.
"Brother Chu Yue......" Little Bellflower saw Chu Yue, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"It's all right, Kikyo." Chu Yue said.
……
In the room, Kikyo looked at the bow in a daze.
"If you use the Demon Breaker, that youkai should be wiped out." Chu Yue said, "The arrow I shot, the spiritual power used is your current level, so you still need to do more actual combat." ”
"Brother Chu Yue......" Kikyo said, "That incident ......"
"Are you talking about the past......" Chu Yue was silent for a while, "Although I don't know what you think now, but...... I don't think I've hurt you or something......"
"No, no!" Little Kikyo immediately said, "It's just ......"
Chu Yue stopped talking and looked at the little bellflower quietly.
"Brother Chu Yue took care of me when I was very young, in fact, at that time, I wanted to marry Brother Chu Yue when I grew up, so I was always looking forward to growing up...... However, then I knew that people will get old, and when I grow up, Brother Chu Yue will already be very old......" Little Kikyo paused for a moment and continued, "However, I found that even though I keep growing up, Brother Chu Yue has never changed, and Brother Chu Yue seems to have never aged anymore, so my worry has disappeared for a while, but then I worried about another problem...... Because I'm not like Brother Chu Yue, I'm going to get old...... If you marry Chu Yue's brother...... I'm going to keep getting older...... Brother Chu Yue will definitely dislike me in the future...... So ......"
"What a fool," Chu Yue said...... "I will never dislike Kikyo." Chu Yue said, "Kikyo is the girl I like, how can I dislike you?" ”
"Even if ...... Am I getting old? ”
"No...... Because, I won't let the bellflower grow old......" Chu Yue said seriously.
"......" Kikyo was silent for a while, "I am a disciple of Brother Chu Yue...... A master and a disciple can't be combined, can they......"
"......" Chu Yue was silent, in this world, it is true that the words of the master and the disciple together are a kind of transcendent thing, although it is nothing for Chu Yue, but for the subtle bellflower, this influence is too great, if you want to change this influence, you can only slowly change the idea of the bellflower.
Alas...... What a hassle...... Chu Yue sighed in her heart.
"So...... Now that I can be with Brother Chu Yue, I am already very satisfied...... This...... That's why I chose to be Chu Yue's brother's disciple......"
"Kikyo ......" Chu Yue said, "I like Kikyo, this heart will never change, as long as Kikyo doesn't care." I'll try to change your mind. ”
"......" Kikyo fell silent, "...... Brother Chu Yue......"
Alas...... It's really troublesome.,It's full of favorability and you still can't get a strategy...... Damn the system setting, why don't you tell me in advance that there is a custom setting where master and apprentice can't be together! I knew that I wouldn't accept Little Kikyo as a disciple...... The strategy should be successful by now! Nima's current custom that a master and apprentice can't be together has stuck all my efforts at one point! Chu Yue's heart was full of broken thoughts......
……
A few days later.
"Here we are." Chu Yue said, "This is that village. ”
"Is this Brother Chu Yue's village?" Little Kikyo looked at the busy villagers, "There are a lot of monster corpses ......"
"Of course," Chu Yue said, "Because it's the village of the demon exterminator, there are a lot of monster corpses obtained, and because it is a monster, the strength and hardness of the corpse are very in line with the requirements of the weapon, so most of the weapons of the demon slayer in the village are caused by the corpse of the monster after removing the demon qi." Of course, youkai corpses are not only useful for these purposes. ”
"That sounds amazing...... "Kikyo added."
"Who are you?" A demon slayer saw Chu Yue and asked.
"Oh, I'm from the village, and I haven't been to the village for a long time because I've been out for a long time." Chu Yue said, "May I ask if the location of the village chief's house has not changed, right?" ”
"It's not the same, it's still the village chief," the demon slayer replied, "who is this witch in the back?" ”
"I'm a disciple of Brother Chu Yue, and my name is Kikyo." Kikyo replied immediately.
"That's right...... Well?! Chu Yue?! The demon slayer immediately asked Chu Yue in surprise, "You are, Lord Chu Yue?!" ”
"Hmm...... Well? I'm Chu Yue, that's right......"
"Lord Chu Yue is actually back, and the legendary Lord Chu Yue is actually like this...... It's been hundreds of years, Lord Chu Yue, you are still so young. ”
"Uh...... You know me? Chu Yue asked.
"Of course!" The demon slayer immediately said, "I have sorted out the information of Lord Chu Yue, you are a disciple of Lord Cuizi...... The information in the village is the same level as Tsuiko-sama...... No, maybe you're stronger than Mitsumi-sama Mizuko, because you're ...... right now."
"Stop-" Chu Yue immediately said, "Okay, I see...... Now take me to the village chief......"
"Yes, Lord Chu Yue." The demon slayer replied immediately.
