My Boss, the White-haired Nun

Leiden Mei replied.

The bright sunshine in the afternoon shone in through the window, and in Gong Ming's sight, it shone on the profile of Lei Dian Mei's face.The long hair that was originally navy blue reflected a faint golden color under the sunlight, like silk and satin, just like colored glaze.In the light, the girl was lying on the pillow, her eyes narrowed slightly, her smile was bright, delicate and beautiful.

"..."

Gong Ming suddenly fell silent.The Raiden Mei in front of her eyes overlapped with a certain smiling face in her memory, as if she had crossed time.

There used to be a girl who stayed in the same room with him like this, and he also sat on a chair beside the girl like this, researching inventions that seem meaningless now for the girl, and lying down The girl on the hospital bed laughed and joked.It was the first time in his long life that he learned how to take care of a person so seriously. It was the first time his hands that used to hold a sword picked up the broom and mop, the first time he picked up the pots and pans, For the first time, he learned to wash and cook, and for the first time to think about how to solve the problem of daily necessities.

Even today's so-called drop-style medicated bath is just one of the results of a random effort back then.

It was a rare bright day in his dark and gloomy life, like a night pearl shining fluorescent in the darkness of the sky.Before that, he was a bohemian and wandering traveler, but after that, he had scruples and concerns.It's like a lonely wandering soul between light and shadow suddenly has a place to stay.

However, later on, he entrusted the treasure he regarded as his life to the man who was as romantic, proud and heroic as his close friend five hundred years ago, but that man did not protect her well.

In fact, even the people back then, including Otto, have never been able to understand why he wanted to leave Tianming so suddenly and firmly 500 years ago.But in the final analysis, Tao is not a reason that is completely incomprehensible.

Back then, a man named Ogg Kaslana entrusted a girl named Kallen Kaslana into his hands.For whatever reason, he didn't protect her well.So he has no face to continue living in the place where he used to be side by side with that man.

That's it.

He owed Kaslana a full 500 years for this.

After the incident in Siberia, the guilt of the entire 500 years was swept away.

Except for Otto, who has been with him through the 500-year journey, it is really hard to imagine how deeply the girl named Cecilia left this man's thought.Even today, when she has passed away for a long time, she still influences this man all the time, completely restraining this unruly and unscrupulous man into an invisible cage.Even Otto, who planned this matter at first, didn't expect that this chess piece he had placed at random would have such a shocking effect on him.Cecilia completely broke the delicate balance of power maintained between the two for 500 years, and even almost completely destroyed this man.

That's why Otto has such an indulgent attitude towards this man now, and the Valkyrie troops who were chasing him were also abolished.

Perhaps in his eyes, a certain man named Nicholas was dead.In the explosion that lit up all of Siberia, died along with the Second Herrscher and the woman he manipulated as a pawn.

After Siberia, there is no Nicholas in the world.

……

"Teacher?" Lei Dian Mei, who faintly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, looked at Gong Ming who suddenly fell silent, and asked softly.

"Ah..." Gong Ming suddenly recovered from his memories, and smiled subconsciously at the girl in front of him. "Sorry, I was distracted."

There was a bitterness and reluctance that Raiden Mei hadn't noticed in that most gentle smile.

"Oh, that's right." Gong Ming changed the topic before Leiden Mei's doubts arose, "I remember you once said that your swordsmanship teacher is your father?"

"Hmm." As soon as Raiden Ryoma was mentioned, Raiden Mei's attention was diverted immediately.

"Did you choose the way of swordsmanship under the influence of your father?" Gong Ming asked.

"Yes," Leiden Mei nodded seriously, "My father taught me the way of swordsmanship when I was very young."

"Is that so..." Gong Ming raised his eyebrows.

"What's the matter, teacher? Is there any problem?" The girl rested her head on the pillow, looked at Gong Ming and couldn't help asking.

"It's not a problem, but... To be honest, from my point of view, you are not very suitable for using a sword." Gong Ming replied with a smile.

"What do you mean?" The girl suddenly became nervous.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not denying your talent or anything. In every sense, your physical condition is very suitable for practicing swordsmanship. But... Well, in my eyes, you lack a little potential, the potential to reach the pinnacle. You may be able to become a master of swordsmanship, a master of swordsmanship, but it is very difficult for you to climb to the peak of pure swordsmanship, that kind of supreme state is almost not destined for you." Gong Ming said calmly.

"Uh..." Lei Dian Mei was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Gong Ming to say such a thing, but he said immediately: "Although from my point of view, I don't expect to become the pinnacle of the sword. How about it, but I still want to hear what the teacher said."

Although Gong Ming's words were already extremely high praise in a sense, there was still a hint of reluctance in the girl's words.

"Your heart is not quiet enough, and you have worries and constraints in your heart, so naturally you can't climb to the ultimate level of swordsmanship."

"Not calm enough? Is there concern? Is it difficult to become the ultimate in swordsmanship only by exterminating emotion?" Hearing Gong Ming's words, Lei Dian Mei asked.

"Although I really want to say that you have misunderstood it, but in fact it is like this." Gong Ming nodded and said, "Although people often say that only a caring heart can be motivated, and a protective heart can be the ultimate. It's not that these things are Wrong, but in the final analysis, these are just reasons for yourself to become stronger, a reason to persist. It is not something about kendo. All distracting thoughts, concerns, and temperament are actually obstacles to kendo. Concentration and uniqueness are the foundation of kendo. The more extreme the way of the sword is, the more the mind is clear, the mind and thoughts are as clear as a mirror, and then finally achieve the state of being the only one with the sword."

The girl frowned, "If it's such an ultimate, then it's fine."

"If you say that, it's not necessarily true." Gong Ming shook his head, "Only me and my sword is just a state of mind. As long as you have reached this level, you can make such a sword when you need it. It’s not that you have to exterminate love and sex.”

The girl's complexion is better now, but then she can't help but ask curiously: "Does the teacher know someone who can achieve this level?"

"Three." Gong Ming stretched out three fingers to the girl and shook them, "I know three people who can achieve this level."

"Which three?" The girl was a little curious.

"One is my teacher, and the other is the old friend who taught me the swordsmanship I used when I trained with you last time..." Gong Ming's voice paused for a while.

"And another one?"

Gong Ming's face suddenly revealed a look of complacency, and he withdrew his finger and pointed at himself.

"And me."

"Teacher, bragging is not a good habit." The girl suddenly laughed.

"Hey, hey, how can you not believe it?" Gong Ming became anxious immediately, "I'm serious!"

"Then can I ask the teacher to demonstrate it?"

"It doesn't work now, you came more than ten years late, and I demonstrated it to you more than ten years earlier."

"..." Lei Dian Mei stopped talking, and just looked at him with a half-smile.

The teacher is only in his twenties, ten years ago?How old are you?
