Chapter 104: The Cherry Blossom Girl
"Seriously, I admire your courage, at least none of the countless admirals who have died at my hands have made decisions that are inconceivable to them like you." Yamato looked at this admiral who dared to draw a sword in front of him, and felt a trace of pity and curiosity in his heart. Even if Deadpool around her doesn't show up, she can easily let all the shipwives die in the sea, and she doesn't even have a chance to fight back. But instead of doing so, she set the rules of the game for choosing between the ship's mother and the admiral, she just wanted to see how the admiral who made Atago was different from the others, whether he was as brave as a fool as she said. Now it seems that this is really the case, when making the most difficult choice in the eyes of others, there was no hesitation in his eyes from beginning to end, but he showed reluctance to the ship's girls.
It's really like Atago said, a complete fool, incorrigibly stupid. Yamato sighed weakly in her heart, she had actually thought about countless scenarios, but none of them were the current result. There was no fear, no fear, no crying, no kneeling and begging for mercy, just bravely raising the weapon in their hands as they are now, and carrying on the game to the end with the determination to die.
If...... If he had been like this fool now, he probably wouldn't have stood here and become a cold deep sea. Yamato chuckled inwardly, exhaled heavily, and waved Deadpool to pull them off. As if to wash away the lead, all the emotionless monsters sank and disappeared at the king's command, and the sea returned to its former blue, reflecting the golden sun.
"You're stupid, you know?" Yamato said with a smile, but there was no mockery or contempt in her smile, she now regarded Jiqi as a respectable opponent, no matter how weak and insignificant the opponent's strength was, but at least his courage deserved respect. "I've never seen an admiral like you, exchanging your life for the life of the ship's mother, do you think it's a good deal?" She continued to ask, as if wondering what the fool was thinking.
"One person for so many people, of course, is a very good deal." Jiqi nodded in the affirmative, "Even if I have to make another choice, I don't think I will hesitate." ”
"Admiral? Ship mother? Yamato looked at the other party's serious eyes and smiled coldly, like a trembling flower branch, "Do you know how many admirals there are in this world?" Less than a thousand, what about the ship's mother? There are at least tens of thousands. And the ship girl can use the construction machine to manufacture in batches, as long as there are resources, as long as the face is not too dark, it can be built in batches. And what about cultivating a qualified admiral? I don't know how much time and wealth it takes, and the person who can become a commander can be said to be one in a million, and without talent, it will never be possible to become a commander, this is an eternal law, so this is almost a rare existence. The existence of these two kinds can't be measured by quantity at all.,No matter how many ship girls are sometimes not as good as an excellent admiral.,Didn't your teacher tell you these things? There was a kind of regret in her tone that such an being, whom Carmel considered to be the hope of humanity in the future, could give up her life so easily, and the purpose was only to save a group of ship wives who seemed to her to be ants.
"Listen to your tone, are you feeling unworthy for me?" Jiqi frowned and asked, he didn't know why the other party was talking so much nonsense to him, wouldn't it be better to understand himself directly?
"I just don't think it's worth it for you, you could have a better future, and now you can only die here." Yamato replied. She didn't know why she was saying such a thing to this fool, and she didn't know why she couldn't kill him, obviously in the past, when she saw the Admiral, she would have an incomparable disgust from the bottom of her heart, but now she only felt deep regret. And the other party's stubborn eyes have not changed in the slightest because of his words, maybe in his opinion, this is the best choice. She sighed silently.
"It's worth knowing for me, and you don't have to feel sorry for me." Ji Qi looked at the pity in the other party's eyes and replied, at this time he suddenly remembered the question that the avant-garde had asked him, why did the nobles choose the girl who worked as a waiter at the roadside stall as the bride, just because they liked it and for no other reason. Because of like, the groom can not care about anything, because of like, the whole wedding can be without anyone's blessing, and they will also wear rings on each other's ring fingers. There is no other reason than to like it. "This kind of thing is good as long as I think it's worth it, just like the love you don't understand, there is no so-called worthiness or not, only willingness and unwillingness."
"Love?" Hearing these two words, Yamato sneered, it was as if he had heard a big joke. She had seen countless admirals abandon their wedding ships on the battlefields of the deep sea and run away alone, without looking back. Since then, she has labeled such ethereal things as discreditable, and she has a hard time believing that an admiral would make sacrifices for the sake of his wedding ship, especially between life and death. "So you're the kind of fool who is willing to make sacrifices for love?" She stared at Jiqi, her eyes gradually turning cold. She originally believed in love, but when she saw countless admirals choosing to sacrifice their marriage ships in order to survive, and those stupid ship girls were still willing to pay for their beloved, her heart, which was not so cold, was completely cold, and became as cold as an iceberg, and she would never believe in this deceitful fairy tale again.
"It is not the fool who sacrifices for love, but the brave forward." Jiqi shook his head in denial, and he said firmly, like a stubborn stone that would not change. "Just because you don't believe in her existence doesn't mean she doesn't exist, at least I can prove it."
"Since you can prove it, then you can prove it to me!" Yamato was completely angry at this moment, with a surging sense of oppression like mountains and seas released in an instant, the coercion set off huge waves, and the surrounding sea water rolled and surged in an instant, hovering around the hideous girl. She hung her head slightly, her delicate fingers gripping the long, unsheathed knife, straight without the slightest arc. The cold knife was slowly pulled out by the girl, and the oblique cut of the tail pierced everything, as if nothing could stop its killing. "Then tell me, what is love that can make you disregard life and death like this!" Yamato's black eyes flashed with anger, she hated to hear these two ridiculous words in other people's mouths, even if she was like a sister, Atago, let alone the stupid admiral in front of her.
She bent down slightly, and the clogs under her feet were violently forced on the water, like a rushing falcon, treading the waves. The ship-slasher in your hand is placed on the side, ready to swing at any time. If she was still bitter before, now she is cold-faced and ruthless, and will not give her opponent the slightest chance, ready to kill with one blow.
Ji Qi's expression was solemn, and in his eyes, the speed of the other party was so fast that he couldn't even catch the movement, but he just saw a rough idea with the blessing of talent. Since he awakened his talent, he has never met such a powerful opponent, even the kimono girl who destroyed his own town guard at that time was not as perverted as the current one, and the two don't seem to be on the same level at all. At that time, she could at least see the other party's movements, and now she could only see the other party's drag in the air.
Maybe this is the real strength of the other party, Ji Qi smiled helplessly in his heart, he now knew that even if the other party was only one person, with such a fast speed, he could easily cut himself and the ship girls under the knife, and it didn't even take much effort. He gritted his teeth, clenching the only hope in his hands.
It's just this one knife that decides the winner. He bent down slightly to draw his sword, waiting until he swung a life-or-death sword.
Suddenly, the falling petals of the cherry blossoms fell to the surface of the sea, and the sea was covered with countless pink petals. Yamato walked through the sea of flowers, his side hand slammed out, and the straight long knife cut the petals in front of him one by one, and the blade as thin as butterfly wings rushed towards Jiqi with a sharp sword aura, as if to cut him off.
Here it comes! Jiqi's blue pupils instantly turned into a blue blue, and the horizontal in his hand was blocked in front of his chest to block the killing opportunity hidden in the cherry blossom rain.
The crisp sound of "Ding-" echoes in the falling rain of cherry blossoms like a ringing ancient bell, like the opening song of grand music, played in this sea sprinkled with flower petals.
Jiqi was hit head-on by the huge impact, his chest seemed to be directly hit by a speeding stone, and in an instant a mouthful of scarlet liquid was spurted out, and the broken sternum pierced into his chest mercilessly, and the torn alveoli burst out, and the blood that burst out flowed backwards. Jiqi squatted weakly on the surface of the sea, leaning on the water glider on his feet to support his buoyancy on the surface. He looked at the command knife in his hand that trembled violently, the blade swaying back and forth made the sound of a bell chime, and the blood that he had just spurted flowed on it. He opened his mouth wide and gasped, and the smell of iron filings filled his mouth, dripping down the corners of his mouth, and his mouth was full of salty taste, as uncomfortable as someone had sprinkled thick sea salt.
I lost, and I lost completely. Jiqi curled up and looked at his embarrassed self in the sea trembling and smiling bitterly, like a powerless child, all he could do was cry bitterly. He looked at the command knife in his hand, the blue in his pupils gradually turned the original inky black, and the pain of his lungs being torn was surging towards him like a roaring landscape, but he didn't feel such intense pain now, and his eyes seemed to be about to be dusk near night, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, as if they were filled with lead. Is this what it looks like before death? He felt that everything around him had become unusually quiet, and all that could be heard was the thumping of his own heartbeat. He raised his eyes to look at the girl who had begun to blur, her little white jade-like feet stepping on clogs and walking towards him, and the falling cherry blossoms fell on her black silver lotus kimono, adding a touch of softness and tenderness to her cold eyes. The long, straight knife without arc was also put into her scabbard, the black blade carved with hollow patterns, and the deadly murder weapon was quietly pinned to the girl's slender waist, swaying slightly with her steps.
Jiqi watched as the shrine maiden who seemed to have cut off all the evil in the world walked away towards him step by step, her jet-black clothes swaying in the wind, with a girlish grace and delicateness. He opened his mouth slightly, and said softly and affectionately to this girl who did not believe in love in a gentle voice, "Really...... It's so beautiful, as gorgeous as a withered cherry blossom. ”
He tried his last strength to touch this beautiful figure, but the blood in his lungs poured into his chest, making the world in front of him pitch black, he collapsed weakly on the sea, the power shoes on his feet also stopped running, everything seemed to fall into eternal darkness at this moment, without hope and light.
Jiqi slowly sank into the water, the cold waters gradually soaking him. In the last moments of losing consciousness, he seemed to hear a strange sigh in his ears, and then the scent of cherry blossoms gently surrounded him, like a soft cloud around him.
