Chapter Seventy-Seven: Tatsu's Mind
Ancient Temple of the Lion City
It is one of the oldest ancient buildings in Singapore, and one of the first temples built by monks who crossed the sea to the Lion City, although it has now gradually declined to its former glory. But it is still a place that many devout believers yearn for.
At this time, on the slightly dilapidated stone road of this ancient temple, there are several young people, wearing slightly strange clothes to this ancient temple, walking in the front is a girl wearing black and white clothes and carrying a longbow, and behind him is a pair of young girls who look like they were born in middle school, they seem to have a good relationship, some talk and laugh, which attracts the girls in the front row to look back from time to time.
"The front is the base of the division, of course, this is also the last stronghold of the division in Southeast Asia......," the girl with the bow on her back looked at the ancient temple under the moonlight, and said with some regret.
"That's right...... I received news from the division headquarters that the dependents operating in Southeast Asia are mainly 'Typhoon no Sera' and 'Yama', both of which are very formidable enemies, and according to the headquarters, these two S-class division members who have defeated several other strongholds, and the division has given us a plan to focus on defense. The girl suddenly became nervous and said seriously.
"Neither of these two seems to be easy to mess with,......" the boy said, perhaps noticing the slightly tense atmosphere, and also said this a little strictly.
"'Typhoon no Serra', also a member of the I-U main battle faction, is an archer who can control the wind, and is said to be a descendant of the famous British thief Robin Hood, who can control arrows to shoot two kilometers away, and is an inhuman long-range attacker. The golden girl on the side also said what she knew.
"If it's the wind's ability, I might be able to interfere, and if it's the bow...... Miyashizuku shouldn't be weaker than her, right?", the boy said with a smile, looking quite confident.
"I'm sure I'm not weaker than her in archery alone, but even so, there are Yama who need to be dealt with. That guy's power is also in the inhuman stage, which is more difficult to solve in comparison. The girl with the bow on her back carefully analyzed.
"Huh...... Hakumao-chan is very powerful, isn't it?", said the golden girl with a smile.
“...... But it still can't be compared to a guy like Chen...... It's really too exaggerated, the dual abilities of wind and ice, as well as amazing swordsmanship and physical skills. ", the girl looked at the young man on the side helplessly and said.
“...... Let's go in first", the young man looked at the ancient temple not far away and changed the subject.
............
Although the ancient temple is shaded by cascading trees, you can still see the historical traces of this ancient temple from a distance, the slightly dilapidated walls, the stupa standing upright, and still see many fine structures and missing corner of the eaves, all of which show the glory of the past. But no matter how many amazing stories there were in the past, they have all faded away, and only a lonely ancient temple remains.
In a quiet room next to the main hall, a middle-aged man in a pale monk's robe was holding a scripture and looking at it, so engrossed that he didn't hear the knock on the door.
The knock on the door intensified, and finally turned into a roar, click!
The door to the ashram was broken open with a massive force, and three figures appeared behind the door.
"Shizuku Komiya...... I said don't knock on the door so violently. The middle-aged man in a monk's robe said in a gentle tone.
"I'm not young at all! I'm sixteen years old!Don't always treat me like a child!", Miyazuku said with a pout, looking concerned about it.
"I think the way you lose your temper now proves that you're still a child......," Chen said aloud.
"Ahh
"So these two are the assistants of the teacher?", the middle-aged man asked, looking at Miyazuku.
"That's right...... It's true that the teacher ** came to help us, and these two are also my friends, and their strength is also amazingly strong!", Gong Shizuku began to introduce the situation of Zhongchen and Riko to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man also listened very carefully.
Tatsumi felt that the middle-aged person in front of him might be a relative or an elder of Miyazuku, and he always felt that Miyazuku had inexplicably become more like a child in this situation.
Although I feel that the current teenagers and girls are getting better and better, I still welcome the arrival of the two. After listening to Miyazuku's words, the middle-aged man looked at Tatsumi and Riko with a little surprise and said.
Miyashizuku also sat down at this time, wearing a black and white exorcist suit, and asked the middle-aged man, "Master, where are the two dependents now?"
"It's not clear yet, but I don't feel their existence within the scope of my enchantment, so I can rest assured for the time being. The middle-aged man felt it carefully before saying to Miyazuku.
"Huh?" Riko looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with some confusion, and Miyazuku seemed to understand Riko's eyes, and said loudly: "This master is also the left-behind person of the Lion City stronghold, and he can freely manipulate a large range of enchantments for early warning and reconnaissance, just like what Tamamo-sama did in Tokyo." ”
"Huh...... Is that so?", Riko looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with curiosity.
"There's a world of difference between me and the barrier that Tamamo-sama has laid out...... Tamamo-sama's enchantment can prevent and weaken the dark dependents in the enchantment, but mine can only serve as a warning. When the middle-aged man mentioned Tamamo, he said her name a little respectfully.
"That's right...... Miyashizuku: Wouldn't there be just four of us in the defenders of the Lion City stronghold??" asked Tatsumi a little strangely.
Like the Armed Detective High School they brought at the beginning, that is, the scope of the Tokyo base, including the Baskerville team, there are about ten people in total, and the personnel are very sufficient, so Riko and Tatsu can leave Tokyo, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out a complete defense if the number of people is not enough.
And now the situation in the Lion City seems to be a little wrong, at least Tatsumi thinks it is a little strange...... There is only one person in the so-called stronghold of the division, so the defense here is too empty, right?
"That's right...... Chen, there are only two of us left in this stronghold, and if you arrive a few days later, maybe I will have to consider giving up the stronghold. Miyazuku explained the situation very simply.
"So where are the others?, Lion City, as an important base in Southeast Asia, can't it be that it doesn't have enough troops?", Tatsumi asked a little strangely, curious about the situation here.
"Many of the companions in the other colonies were captured by their dependents, others fled the battle when they saw that the situation was not good, and some did not participate in the battle because of a disagreement. When Miyazuzuku said the last part of the people, the expression on his face became very subtle.
"If that's the case, then the defense here will be troublesome......," Tatsumi said with a frown. Originally, the members of the division who came to Singapore to help here were just an excuse, thinking that they only needed a little help...... But now......
"That's true...... But stick with it anyway...... After all, this is one of the core strongholds of the division," Miyazuku said in a resolute tone.
"Alright...... Shizuku Komiya...... We have to give up when it's time to give up...... There's always something to give up!", the middle-aged man said to Miyazuku.
"Hmm......", after Miyazuzuku heard the middle-aged man's words, he was a little unhappy, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only take Tatsu and Riko to find a room to rest and escape the words of the middle-aged man just now.
...............
late at night
At this point in time, most people have already fallen asleep, and even Riko, who was walking with Chen, fell asleep because of some fatigue, while Chen was as much energy as ever, and even at this point I didn't feel tired.
Bang ...... Dressed in clogs, Tatsu walked on the corridor of the ancient temple, looked at the dilapidated courtyard around him, and sighed slightly.
"Time is stronger than anything else...... Even if it was once brilliant, it would not be there......," Tatsumi said with regret.
"Really...... Things have changed so much under the influence of time, ah......", a girl's voice rang out.
"Miyazuku?", Tatsumi didn't have to look back to sense who the owner of this familiar voice was.
"Tatsumi is still the same as always...... I haven't slept all the time......," Miyazuku said as she slowly emerged from the darkness and greeted the moonlight.
"Why hasn't Miyazuku slept? I think you should have a physique that needs sleep a lot?", Tatsumi asked with some confusion, he still knew a little about the companion in front of him.
"Because I'm in a bad mood right now...... There's no sleepiness, ......," Miyazuku sighed.
"I always feel like Miyazuku has changed a lot...... It's just two or three months, ......", Chen looked at this familiar face, but with a look that would not appear before, which made him sigh a little.
"Tatsumi is the same...... It's only been a long time since I've seen Riko and get to this point?", Miyazuku patted Tatsuna's shoulder and said with some exaggeration.
"What", Tatsumi asked, looking at Miyazuku a little strangely.
"Huh...... Don't hide it...... The spark of love between you and Riko is about to bubble up...... I was scared when I walked with you!", Miyazuku said with a smile.
“...... Not a cover-up...... I'm just a little unsure of my mood......", Tatsumi was silent for a long time before finally saying this.
"How can it not be clear?Tatsumi should understand it very well, right?", Miyazuku said seriously.
“...... I always feel a little lost...... Although I was probably aware of this, I still ...... There's a little confusion in my heart......", Tatsumi slowly told Miyazuku about his state.
"Tatsukun, it's really nice if you can be with Riko...... I'd love to see you two together, too. Gong Shizuku suddenly changed his tone and said with a serious face.
"When I saw you and Riko this time, both of you have changed a lot...... Sure enough, the two of you have changed each other!", Miyazuku said as if remembering.
"So...... Early morning...... Don't you know what's going on in your mind? You should know this very well, right?" After Miyazuzuku said this, he disappeared in place, leaving Tatsumi alone.
“...... These things can't be escaped......," Tatsumi said as he slowly stood up and looked at the moonlight.
