3. Secluded cherry blossoms

That's me, my proudest sister.

Yu watched as Sakura hugged the trunk of the tree and turned into cherry blossom petals with the dryad.

It's beautiful and dangerous, but as long as Sakura is there, Yuki will be fine.

It was a common tacit understanding that only belonged to sisters.

Yu wanted to shout, because she suddenly began to regret it, if at this time, if she and Sakura were together, like when they were children, they went to retreat monsters together, and faced the enemy together, then what kind of scene would it be?

Sakura once said that she likes to travel with her, even if she only provides some pointless assistance in the rear, even if her original strength is far beyond herself. She just enjoyed the feeling of hiding behind her sister.

It's not strength, it's affection.

The current Sakura,Must be very eager to fight with herself.,Obviously dragging such a weak body.,Obviously has been eroded by witchcraft and has no strength.。 She's just working hard for herself.

"Sakura!"

Yu hurriedly tried to reach out and grab her sister, but the other party disappeared like a withered flower, with the petals scattering.

Even this last minute...... The apology was not uttered.

However......

It's not over yet, really, it's not over yet......

The witchcraft is still there, and it continues to erode everyone's bodies, along with themselves.

There is nothing surprising about this, Sakura's body is already extremely weak due to the essence sucked by the demonic arts, not to mention that in such a situation, she is still holding on to her own choice to work hard.

Originally, she didn't have a retired dryad. When we meet again. It's grown more lush. So. Categorically, the current Sakura must not have the ability to retreat. The dryad is still alive, but it's withered a lot.

We can't let her stay here, and we can't let her do harm to others. It had to be made clear, not just for the innocent people, but for all the efforts Sakura had made, and for herself......

Enable yourself to atone for your sins!

That was when Sakura no longer had the strength to read. A secret method that I got by accident. To put it more strictly, you can use the method of devouring monsters to strengthen your strength. To put it mildly, it is absorption.

However, such an approach must be accompanied by an obvious drawback, that is, the body must be tested, in other words, it is just to move the battlefield with the monster from the outside world to the body.

But. This is already the only way, if even you fail. Then the witchcraft will only become more unscrupulous. Therefore, even if you are not sure, even if your strength is far inferior to Sakura, even if this Dryad is a Dryad who can't even retreat from Sakura, even if you will die with the Dryad.

It doesn't matter, because I'm going to atone for my sins to Sakura, and if I say that, it's a slight apology...... So......

I won't hesitate!

......

When she opened her eyes, she was already looking at a different landscape. Although, it looks so beautiful.

All around was wafting, white flocculents.

It's a strange thing, it looks a little scary, but it's a little cute.

She reached for it, and, of course, missed. It occurred to her that she seemed to be the same as these floating things.

These things, for sure, are ghosts, so ...... She must have been. Even though she had a body, she couldn't figure out why she had a body.

However, do you have to rack your brains so hard to think about it? Even human beings, don't they have things that they forget selectively and unconsciously forget? If you want to forget, you must have memories that you can't use and are harmful to yourself.

Therefore, forgetting is not a bad thing.

But...... There is one thing that must not be forgotten, that is, who you are, why you are here, and what you should do now.

Can't remember......

She clutched her head, her head aching, as if it was about to explode. Memories must have been preserved, but they were crushed under a boulder called "oblivion". "Forgetting" doesn't want her to know these memories, "forgetting" must be a part of herself, therefore, "forgetting" must be for her own good.

But how can this be forgotten? Even if it is a harmful cigarette, there are many people who smoke it in pursuit of spiritual satisfaction!

Pull out! Pull out the memory! Hurry up!

I must have forgotten something important, otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious to know. Obviously, as a ghost, you just need to wander around.

Yes!

Cherry Blossom Tree, Dryad, Yu, Sakura, Sisters, Atonement, Apologize!

That's right...... I remembered that the last scene was the dryad in the flower of prosperity. And ...... for yourself

So, I should be you, the bastard sister who squeezed out every bit of her sister's role and finally watched her die in vain.

I'm Yu, and my sister is Sakura. What Yu needs to do is to apologize to Sakura and atone for Sakura's sins. Even if none of this is forgiven, Yu must do it. Because this is the meaning of being a ghost.

What an ugly, how sublime, how monotonous, what a complex meaning.

It's simple, but there's no way to start. What should I do?

She looked around at the floating ghosts. Are they, like her, forgetting what they did in their previous lives?

You remembered some, so you are different from them.

Will there be a place for Sakura among these ghosts?

Find her.

The ghost moved, she spied on the identity of each ghost, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that she had already mastered such a method before she knew it.

This must be Sakura's meaning, this must be her, and she wants Yu to atone for her sins. So......

......

"Ahem...... Ah......h

Cougher. Wheezing. Struggling in the place of the dryad that has turned into petals.

She used all her strength. Devoured the Dryad. However, the other party will not let her go so easily, no matter how reluctant she is, Yu will have to fight this dryad.

It's not the body, it's not the magic, it's the mental struggle.

I'm tired, and I don't want to move even when I'm tired, but. You can't lose here. Because once you succumb to the dryad, what will happen after that is already obvious. Because in other words, now I am already a dryad.

And what the dryad needs to do, the only thing he can do is to unconditionally suck the essence of others.

But, how could she lose? Obviously Sakura worked so hard for herself, and obviously she even gave her life for her bastard sister. Himself, he can't spoil Sakura's mind anymore.

Don't be too arrogant. Dryad!

The dryad had taken on the exact same posture as herself, and she laughed at herself in her heart.

Yes. Is it really a long-term dryad? It turns out that it already has a lot of human feelings, and it seems to be quite smart.

What the...... You say, everyone sucks the essence together, and does not invade each other?

Hahaha!

Yu fell to the ground, but a smile of victory hung on his face. No matter what kind of battle it is, if either side proposes a compromise, she will definitely lose!

Why......

Don't ask yourself why.

You lament your own fate, how unfortunate it is. Just lament, why did you hurt your sister?

You are frightened, you are facing a genius-like onmyoji!

The dryad had lost its vitality and turned into petals in You's body.

Won, but ...... I don't have the strength to get rid of the filthy part of this dryad.

In other words, he has become a dryad, and he needs to suck essence qi to maintain his life.

It's a bit annoying, but ...... A little excited, too. Maybe that's how I planned to do it at the beginning. Maybe I just fell in love with the characteristics of this dryad.

As long as one of them sucks the essence, he can survive forever. In that case...... In that case!

There must be a way to see Sakura, even if at that time, she hates herself so much, she will hate herself, she will beat and scold herself, and she can bear it happily.

I must atone for my sins, because this is the only mission that exists in the world as a dark dryad.

......

Still can't find ......

Every point in time, every place, every ghost......

You rummaged desperately, looking at all she could see, any ghost, despite this qiē, even she knew it was futile.

There are too many ghosts, and every minute and every second, there will be a lot of new ghosts mixed in to disrupt their vision, how can it be so easy to find?

However, perhaps for self-comfort, while looking for these ghosts, I still found some interesting little ones.

Well, it looks like there's a cute little bone dragon in front of it, although it must be a product of a foreign country.

So, let's call her dragon sauce for the time being.

Long Jiang is really obedient, although in her eyes, there has always been sadness similar to herself, but different.

He hasn't fulfilled his wish yet, and Ryu-chan seems to have fulfilled that wish and came here with great peace of mind. Although she still forgot what she had done before her death, that feeling of peace of mind had remained in her heart.

Perhaps, I just envied her, so I left her behind. Or maybe he just wants to follow her example and give up the excuse of looking for Sakura?

However, you must not stop, although you can take a break when you are tired, but you must not give up.

Once you give up once, there will be a second, a third, and until the end, a complete renunciation.

Sakura must still be waiting for herself somewhere, waiting for herself to atone for her sins. No, maybe now that I'm desperately looking for her, it's already a kind of atonement.

"Tea. ”

It is tea made with dragon sauce.

Well, even after teaching so much, it's still a little bitter, but considering that this is something she is not good at, I would better forgive her.

"Don't be so, tired. ”

"Thanks, but it's fine. ”

Ryu-chan must be caring about himself, and this has gone beyond the category of belonging to the master and servant. Could it be that he can't even stand Longchan anymore with such a practice?

"Na, Ryu-chan, if I have to find someone, do I spend all my energy on searching, or do I wait quietly, something called a miracle?"

“...... Both, yes. ”

"But...... I don't want her to wait. Because that's what it means to be a zài. ”

"That'...... Also pay attention to the body, she, it will be sad to see you like this. ”

“......”

Will it be sad? Sakura?

However, it seems that Ryu-chan is not wrong.

As Yu, she has to atone for her sins to Sakura. And as Sakura, she must not want to see Yu working so desperately.

I don't know why, but this is clear to me. Incomparably clear, affirmative, convinced.

“...... Like, that's what it is. ”

Lying down on her back, her eyes brightened for the first time, "Well, I'll take a nap first." Remember to wake me up, Ryu-chan. (To be continued......)
