"She was unconscious at that time, and I had to enter her conscious space... It was a place like a pure land. There we said our final goodbyes, and I cried so sadly that I still don't understand what she was thinking. ”

"Why wasn't it me but her who arrived in Kanria first? Why did she hide it from me, is this what is called favoritism? ”

"It was there that I made up my mind to pursue eternity. In order to witness this determination, I saved her consciousness space that was about to collapse and brought it back to Inazuma. Shadow looked up at the cherry blossoms that were floating towards the mountain.

I don't know if she wants to see the cherry blossoms or if she wants to hold back her tears. But Shadow's tears didn't slip in the end.

"When I returned to Inazuma with the real consciousness space, I was surprised to find that a huge cherry blossom tree suddenly appeared on Mt. Kage, which is also known as the Divine Sakura Tree."

"Huh? Wait a minute? Anhei raised his head with the shadow, but unfortunately he couldn't see the sacred cherry tree on the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

"What do you mean by appearing out of nowhere? Didn't I hear that the sacred cherry tree has existed since ancient times? ”

"At that time, everyone told me as a matter of course that the sacred cherry tree has existed since ancient times, and everyone didn't understand what I was surprised about, and no one questioned it. The existence of the sacred cherry tree is so different from my memory that only I seem to be able to sense that it appears out of thin air. Shadow lowered her head slowly.

To this day, she still can't figure out how the sacred cherry tree suddenly took root in Inazuma, and even in the memory of the people of Inazuma.

"Hearing you say that, how do you feel so close to what I just saw... Could the appearance of the sacred cherry tree be the memory instilled in the Inazuma people by the leylines? Anping frowned as he looked at the slowly falling cherry blossoms and pinched his chin.

"I don't know. But I found the true breath in the sacred cherry tree, so in the end, I could only think that it was a miraculous phenomenon caused by the real consciousness space, and it was really helping me. Eventually, with the help of the sacred cherry tree, I was able to put an end to the monster disaster in Inazuma. ”

"If it's true... Then it doesn't seem like I can't figure it out... The power of the gods, there is nothing wrong with it..."An Ping took a falling cherry blossom and looked closely, but he didn't see any difference between the petals of the god cherry tree and ordinary petals.

Shadow didn't say anything. She knew very well that modifying the memories of so many humans was not something that could really be done.

"I had decided never to talk about it again. It's a painful thing to face parting, but... It's time to face all of this. The sadness in the shadow eye gradually turned into determination.

"Looks like you've finally figured it out?" An Ping looked at Ying with a smile.

"Yes, I used to be, as the Son of God said, like a coward. More than the love of this land, the love of humanity... I'm still far from it. But now I'm not going to run away anymore, and I'm not going to stand still anymore. Now I admit that the truth is further than I thought, and it seems to her that the state called the dream is more illusory and abstract than the wish. Wishes refer to most of the actual substances or conclusions, which are always exhausted and will always be replaced by the desire of rebirth. ”

"What is really concerned is the motivation that drives human beings to constantly produce desires, which are rooted in instinct, in other words... It's also a kind of eternity. At that time, I couldn't understand why everything was flowing forward and still eternal. It wasn't until now that I realized that her seemingly innocent idea was right. When I pursue the eternity of myself, I am actually pursuing the true eternity. Shadow's eyes were incomparably clear at the moment.

"It's complicated... Why is it that when you pursue your eternity, you are already pursuing true eternity... Paimon felt completely incomprehensible..."Paimon frowned, trying to think about the meaning of the film's words, but his brain instantly overheated and hugged his head.

"It's a philosophy, it's hard for you to understand." Anping rubbed Paimon's head.

"To put it simply, Shadow is standing on the second floor, so she thought it was really on the first floor, but in fact, it was really on the fifth floor."

"Paimon seems to understand... Anyway, Paimon is in the basement right now, right? ”

"The son can be taught..."An Ping nodded with satisfaction. Yingbai glanced at Anping.

"By the way, Ying, since Ying personally experienced that battle, then..."Paimon suddenly remembered about Ying's brother and hurriedly reminded Ying.

"Ei, I want to ask you one thing, did you see my brother when you were in Kanria?" Ying also finally reacted and hurriedly asked.

"Brother? Could it be that your brother had something to do with the disaster in Kanria? Shadow looked at Ying in surprise.

"From what we've learned, it must have something to do with it..."Paimon can't say it all.

After all, Ying's brother should have been quite close to Kanria at that time... Dain, the last captain of the court guard in Kanria, is still Brother Ying's traveling companion... But Ei's sister really died in the battle against Kanria... If you are not careful, you may become an enemy.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't able to make it all in person. By the time I got there, the worst battles were over. And... At that time, my heart was completely occupied by the misfortunes of Inazuma and the people around me, so I am afraid that there is no information for you and you. Shadow shook her head.

"It's okay Ying, you can also treat me as your brother... Sister, I'm coming for you. Anping didn't know when it turned empty again, and looked at Ying affectionately.

Ying was speechless, and kicked Anping in the ass with a lightning bolt, giving Anping a tom cat-like scream.

"I'm kind enough to help you, and you're still kicking me! Think about it... If I become like your brother and mess around outside all day long, it won't be long before your brother can't bear to come to me for trouble, and then we can take it down for him first, and then talk slowly when we have something to say?! Why do you have to work so hard to find him everywhere like you are now?! An Ping covered his ass and complained aggrievedly.

I have to say that Anping's proposal really moved Ying's heart.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, we've been delayed here for a long time, so let's hurry to the next place." Shadow took a step forward after saying that, and then her figure suddenly staggered, almost not falling to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Anping immediately held Shadow's arm. It was the first time he had touched Ei's body.

It's so soft, it's so warm. It's not like a made body at all...

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired just now... It's good to take a break. Ei pulled his arm from Anping's hand and moved.

But this excuse is a bit too perfunctory. Just like the physical strength that is manifested in the pure land of one mind... Feeling tired?

"Really, didn't you break the general's body last night? It's okay... There's no shame in that... After all, the general's body structure is complicated, isn't it? An Ping looked at Ying strangely.

Shadow was speechless.

"Okay, it's okay already, don't worry, let's hurry up, otherwise the beast hound will destroy the roots of the sacred cherry blossoms, and it will be troublesome." After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Shadow set off for his next destination again.

"Is Shadow really okay?" Ying whispered to An Ping worriedly.

"I guess the general's body was definitely damaged by her last night... After all, the contraction of the thunderstorm to Inazuma before was caused by the Shadow Adjustment General's authority... Now that there are a lot of people, she's just embarrassed to say..."Anping muttered quietly to Yingdi.

"Ahem!" The shadow walking in front coughed heavily. An Ping and Ying immediately stopped their voices and whistled as they looked at the surrounding scenery.

No matter how low the voices of the two of them were, how could they hide the shadow? But... Alas. If it wasn't necessary, Shadow didn't want to get to know her for the time being.

Now Shadow doesn't have that much time... Soon, the three of them came to the last place where the beast realm hound gnawed at the root of the tree, and the moment they saw the beast realm hound, the shadow directly rushed over with a knife.

The beast hound didn't feel the danger at all, and gnawed at the roots of the tree on its own. Anping's mood is a little contradictory at the moment, both because of the hatred for the beast realm hound caused by Kitamura's memory, and because the beast realm hound is his own little brother's heartache... Seeing that Shadow's blade was about to fall on the body of the Beast Realm Hound, An Ping could only cover one eye in pain... But Shadow's knife is getting slower and weaker... As soon as An Ping had this idea, Shadow's knife fell into the air.

The beast hound reacted the moment the blade was raised, dodged to the side, turned around and bared his teeth and roared at the shadow.

Shadow's hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble.

"What's going on!?" Ying senses that something is wrong and rushes to the front of Ying to protect her. An Ping didn't need to act, he just looked at him, and the frightened beast realm hound didn't dare to move.

At this moment, the torn roots flowed out

The "juice" shimmered again.

"It's... Where is it? Out of thin air, the memories of three samurai came out, and they looked at the unfamiliar environment around them with some doubts.

Then they noticed the shadow standing there.

"Ah, the Shogun is here, too! There are monsters out there! The three samurai immediately rushed in front of Ei, drawing their swords to protect her.

"Is the Shogun injured?" The samurai could also see that something was wrong with the shadow.

"It's okay... It's just that the body is a little stiff..."The shadow voice is a little lacking at the moment.

"I, the shogunate samurai, will definitely protect the shogun until the last moment! Brothers! Protect the Shogun's retreat! ”

"No, it's too dangerous!" Shadow wants to stop the memories in these leylines.

"That's where we do! If you are afraid of danger, you will not take up arms from the beginning. Don't worry, Shogun, it is in this predicament that the power given to us by the gods is more meaningful. "On the waist of these memories, there is an object that shines.

Even in the memories of the past, the brilliance of some things cannot be erased.

"That's... Vision of God? Paimon noticed the glittering items on the samurai's waists.

"Yes, I know that the gods are omnipotent and willing to give power to mankind, which shows that the gods have deep expectations of us. Now that the shogun is in trouble, it is time for us to keep our promise. "The hearts of the samurai, through the eyes of the gods, through their words, reached the hearts of all present.

"Everyone doesn't know where the general has gone, and they are all desperate. But we've found you now, and you're here. As soon as you reappear in front of you, hope will be reborn in our hearts. This hope will be the light that guides us through the darkness. The samurai's words made Shadow blame himself and close his eyes.

"Everyone! Fight with me! The warriors drew their swords and rushed towards the beast hounds.

"Ugh." An Ping sighed, followed and rushed towards the beast realm hounds, kicking these beast realm hounds out with a few kicks.

Although he held the life of the beast realm hound, it is difficult to say that those few feet are not mixed with some personal resentment.

The beast hound wailed and left the place.

"Knot... It's over? The samurai looked at Anping's back in disbelief, the beast realm hound that had taken away many brothers was kicked away by an ordinary person who didn't even have the Vision of God?

"Thank you—" Shadow's feeble tone drew everyone's attention back to her.

"Your skills are really impressive, those monsters will definitely come back, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it won't just be as simple as the beast realm hound."

"You send the Shogun back to Inazuma Castle as soon as possible and join the army led by the Shogun."

"Seeing the return of the general, everyone's morale will be boosted!" The three samurai, you and I will arrange the next action for the shadow and them.

"What about you?" Paimon asked curiously.

"We're staying here to stop the monsters, we can't let them go any longer. As long as the brothers work together, no matter how many monsters there are. The three samurai looked at each other, and as they said, after seeing Kage, they saw hope in each other's eyes.

Paimon and Ying glanced at each other, and Anping looked at Kage, and the three of them were on the same mind. They may have died in dark despair five hundred years ago, but no one wants to disturb the reality in their hearts at this time.

"Then please."

"Leave it to us! Combat is what we are most familiar with! But the Shogun is special, and only the Shogun can reverse this hopeless status quo and lead us into the future. No matter what kind of threat Inazuma encounters, we have reason to believe the shogun! The three samurai looked at the shadow.

Shadow was silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "Thank you very much, I promise you that I will give Inazuma a bright future." This promise came a little late, but at least, it was from now on. "Ei has made up her mind.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, with your words, we will never give up! Together with you, we will be able to regain all of what Inazuma has lost! ”

"Chang Dao is magnificent! Narukami is eternal! The samurai disappeared into the slogan that soldiers still shout when they go to battle.

"Just the promise, you are saying to them... Or say it to yourself? Ying asked, looking at the shadow with feelings in her eyes.

"It doesn't make sense to say anything to them, they're just a wandering memory in the leylines. Even so... I will also give an account to them, and to the people who have believed in me until now. The feeling in Shadow's eyes vanished, and with it came a powerful will that could not be shaken as a god.

"This is the best time, I want to cut the past and move into the future!"
