"Lord Prince?!"

Su I Tu, who ran up from the side, was out of breath, the elixir she absorbed had the best effect, and she also maintained her youthful appearance, but her body did not enhance much.

Now she is a little rude, that is, she suddenly heard what Huo Qing'e said: The Ministry of Monobu will not be with personnel soon.

"Tu since ancient times? What's wrong? ”

A little surprised Tu Zigu appeared here, and the god son put down the "Three Classics and Yishu" that had just been compiled in his hand and looked at the other party.

“…… The Crown Prince...... Where is Budu now? ”

"Alas...... In Soga home. ”

Budu's problem was only told by Qing'e, so since Tu Zigu knew...... So... Only Qing'e told her.

"I see, Prince!"

After immediately thanking the Divine Son, Tu Zigu didn't care about the sweat on his forehead because of running, and ran in the direction of his own house.

"Qing'e...... Who told you to do that? ”

"No, no, no, Lord Prince, I didn't do it myself this time."

After Miko sensed that there was no one around, he turned to the wall on the side, and just in time, Qing'e passed through the wall and floated into the house.

“…… Why? ”

Qing'e can still be trusted in following orders, so Shenzi didn't dwell too much on this, but directly asked the core question.

"Because, as a mother."

She snapped her fingers slightly, and then she was still smiling, but this time it wasn't so hearty, but a little sad. But Feng Cong'er, who knew each other well enough, just kept a straight face and looked at the evil immortal.

"Bou doesn't want his children to be an outlier, Prince.

… It's pathetic......"

"So, what did you come up with to get Budu to accept?"

"Let Tu die as a human being since ancient times... That's it. ”

Bang dang!

Suddenly, the sword blade directly hit Qing'e's eyebrows, and the table in front of Shenzi and the document that had just been compiled were just thrown aside.

Drawing his saber, Miko stood in front of Qing'e, staring coldly at Qing'e, who was still smiling in front of him.

"You're the one who interfered with Budu's choice, right?"

"That's right, Prince.

I didn't expect your ears to guess my heart even if they weren't so good now. ”

Qing'e stretched out her index finger and pressed it against the tip of the sword.

"Since Budu wants her daughter to die as a human... You've also said that the knife girl is really a bit clumsy since ancient times, and unfortunately, she has a lot of ideas.

In that case, why not a lady of the Shan Da Lang? Even if she is also a non-dexterous person, she has absolute loyalty to you? ”

“………”

The regent didn't say anything, but the sword didn't move at all, so Qing'e pushed a little, and her index finger was embedded in the tip of the knife, as easily as a willow leaf cutting through the breeze.

"As a ruler, you understand that loyalty is more important than ability.

And Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what disgusts you the most is the self-inflicted wisdom of incompetent people. ”

Following the sharp blade, the fingers slashed down it, and the blood stains slowly stained the trajectory along Qing'e's movement. This made Miko a little disgusted, but Qing'e looked as if she had nothing to do, and it looked like her finger was about to be cut in half vertically.

“…… Other than that...... I didn't say that Tu Zigu would not accompany you, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

She raised her saber slightly, so that Qing'e's fingers could leave her weapon, as if blood would insult it.

The evil fairy looked at the fingers and blades dripping blood in the air, and said with a smile.

"You'll understand, Prince.

Your intentions, I have not intended to go against them. ”

"Crazy man."

Casually dragged the other party's floating shawl, completely used as a dirty cloth to wipe the sword, Miko directly wrapped the weapon with it, and then wiped it vigorously, not only the blood marks, but also the silk, were cut together.

Then, without looking at Qing'e, she picked up the scriptures she had compiled, and left her room.

"Alalala...... The prince really can't afford to joke? ”

Wiping his fingers with the broken shawl on the ground, Huo Qing'e muttered to herself while applying the ointment.

"You say, don't you, youkai-sama who is always secretly observing?"

Then, her eyes suddenly turned to the door where Miko had just left, and then she really showed herself, smiling from the bottom of her heart.

"Huhu, it's a god, an immortal from the West."

Then the door was opened.

……

……

……

"Really...... Tu since ancient times... Why do you want to come here? ”

Budu, who couldn't even get up now, looked at the sweaty child in front of her with a miserable smile, this gaffe and non-compliance with etiquette only made her feel heartache.

“…… Call...... Am I ...... No... Let's take a look...... My stepmom ......"

Tu Zigu, who was panting heavily, didn't care about her own situation, and then immediately knelt beside Budu and checked her physical condition.

Compared with the previous Tie Qing, his complexion is much better now, and he even has a ruddy appearance that he has never had after taking the elixir.

This is a completely young body, but the current cloth is not able to accept it, so through the bright eyes, hidden behind is an extremely weak soul.

"I'm going to die, Tu Zigu......

But it won't be long before I wake up......"

It was a complete joke, Bu Du smiled at Tu Zigu, for some reason, now Su Ma Zi and other relatives did not appear in this place.

Boo didn't understand, but she did.

At the beginning and in the final moment, it is this child who accompanies himself.

“… Why now? …”

Tu Zigu, who didn't know how to speak, had to ask such an unknown question.

Budu felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes.

"Who knows? …… The prince thinks so highly of me.

So I have this opportunity to try for the crown prince, whether what Huo Qing'e said is true...

If it's true, it couldn't be better..."

"But what if it's fake?"

"So...... The crown prince will look for another way to pursue immortality...

It's just that I'll follow the prince a little later......"

"Then you're not ......"

A tool that doesn't matter? Tu Zigu thought like this, but there was no way to say it at all.

But suddenly, cold fingers clumsily brushed her cheeks, and it was a biting chill, like winter ice.

But Tu Zigu was not disgusted at all.

"Tu Zi Gu ......"

Budu opened his eyes again, resting one hand on the other's hot cheek, and the other hand supporting the weight of his body and forehead, allowing himself to sit up reluctantly.

She said word by word to her adopted daughter, who was crying silently.

“…… Can you call me mother?

… Even if... Only this time......"

“………”

"I'm afraid...... I really didn't have a chance to hear it. ”

Her eyes shrunk, and her hands were gagged in front of her mouth, as if trying to hide her voice in her heart, but she could no longer hold back the expression on her face: distorted by grief.

So, Tu Zigu hugged Budu without hesitation and cried bitterly.

The small figure is now supporting the other party's body, and is still stiffly patting the other party's back.

"I'm sorry......... I really want to be your mother..."

When the shaking of the other party's body was no longer so obvious, Budu half-closed his eyes and whispered.

"It's okay...... Mother......

Mother's ......"

The choked sound is so slight that if you don't even listen carefully, it will be muffled by the shaking of your clothes.

But Boudu heard.

She closed her eyes in contentment.

“… I love you...... My daughter ......"

Then, two cold tears fell on Tu Zigu's clothes.
