gentle and affectionate

Chapter 51.

As a result of my hotheaded confession in public, when I came back to my senses, both of them had become the target of public criticism and were teased by everyone. I only felt that my cheeks were very hot.I can imagine how embarrassed I am now without looking at him. I peeked at Hei Gang from the corner of my eye. His face didn't look too red, but the corners of his mouth that were always tightly pursed were raised in a rare way, and there was a hint of smile in Danfeng's eyes. meaning.

Under everyone's suggestion, Heigang took off his shirt and tried the prosthetic on the spot. There were a few unhealed scratches on his chest and back, and Amaterasu and Zhishi gave me an ambiguous look, which made me want to dig a hole. The other party didn't care about it.

Hei Gang put on his prosthetic limb, moved twice, and punched the void.

"Although it feels strange, but..." He glanced at me, "It's not bad."

Of course, everyone was very happy to see this, and expressed their congratulations or asked about the situation. Only I pretended not to see the smile on his face, turned away with a sigh of relief, and fiercely fanned the hot face, thinking that this The guy is really getting more and more shameless, he actually laughed at this virtue in front of so many people, what about the cold-faced general he promised? !

But such a pleasant atmosphere didn't last long. Just as we were about to chat for a few words, and I happened to be thinking about something, and I was about to ask Princess Zhishi, a familiar magical atmosphere suddenly came from behind us. We turned around to look, only Seeing the enchantment protruding from the ground to the height of a person, it is clearly the magic that crossed from another world.

When we saw who was coming, we were even more surprised:

"Seishirou!"

I subconsciously took a step forward, but I didn't expect Heigan to be faster than me, blocking in front of Princess Zhishi, while I took a step obliquely forward, protecting him and everyone behind me.

Seishirou, an unscrupulous vampire hunter to achieve his goals, sacrificed his right eye in order to obtain the magic of crossing the world, once used feathers to create chaos in the Sakura City, and even wiped out all those who stood in his way... And he did all of this , nothing more than to find the pair of vampire twins in his mouth.

——No, it should be said that it was only for that "Subaru".

Although there are reasons, but no matter what, he is definitely not our friend. After all, he once "killed" Xiaolang and me in Yingdu Country, and almost died with Heigang.Hei Gang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the things I stood in front of him, and gently tugged on my clothes. I didn't have time to say anything, but Xing Shiliang had already spoken:

"It can be said... Long time no see?" He smiled, "I just don't know if the time I and you have experienced is the same."

They both said the same thing as Feng Zhen, and seemed to have completely bad personalities, but their behaviors were quite different. I really didn't know whether to say they were too similar or too different. I sighed silently, this pair of brothers is really worrying.

Everyone looked at him warily, but he accepted our unfriendly attitude very naturally, narrowing his eyes slightly as if he should have done so, with a dangerous atmosphere in his smile.

"You still seem to be the same, Seishirou-san."

"It's the same with you, Feng Zhen." Seishirou turned his head and looked at Heigan and me. "But the two over there seem to be no longer the same. They seem to have changed quite a lot. In many ways..."

"It seems that I lost my magic power and got other powers—I got the blood of a vampire!"

"Fay-"

The surprise attack and Mokona's exclamation were almost at the same time. I was only thinking about how to protect the people behind me, but I never thought that he would attack so suddenly, or maybe I forgot that the person in front of me was a lunatic, and I It was the blood from the vampire twins that could drive him crazy.

I stood in the front before I could dodge, and he grabbed my throat so fast that even Heigan behind me couldn't react. Now that I was restrained, he couldn't act rashly.

Seishirou looked at me dangerously, and said very firmly:

"Is that Kamui's blood?"

"So what?"

"Where are the two of them?"

He looked at me with his godless right eye, and met my equally empty left eye. This coincidental similarity made me inexplicably funny, and I felt a little sad for a while. I suddenly felt that the person in front of me, no matter how powerful he looked, was still He is just an idiot who is willing to lose an eye for the one he loves.

However, it would be too arrogant for him to think that this can restrain me.

I took a step back and squatted down at the same time, obliquely relieving the force he was holding on my throat, and swung my right hand quickly into a knife, and instantly grew foot-long nails sharper than a sharp knife. Seishirou couldn't retreat in time, and his left sleeve was caught Cut a long slit.

Now that you have recognized my identity as a vampire, let me let you taste the power of this identity.I squinted my eyes towards Seishirou who jumped far away, counting that he escaped in time, otherwise I must give him a big gift.

But as soon as I broke free, the dignified atmosphere that permeated the world just now immediately relaxed, and there was also a conversation between Princess Zhishi and Feng Zhen behind me.

"Is that Brother Ling?"

"Yes," Feng Zhen sighed, "it's a troublesome person."

"My sister is the same..."

"You mean what about me?" Lady Huang expressed her dissatisfaction.

I was amused by the gossip, and my body was immediately infected by the relaxed breath. In addition, Seishirou had retreated far away, so I only kept a small part of my mind and continued to be on guard. The nails on my right hand were silently retracted, laughing with everyone ;Heigan roared loudly at this moment, perfectly attracting everyone's attention:

"Is that the attitude of asking people?!"

Hei Gang blushed with anger, and stared at Seishirou opposite him with righteous indignation, with an expression as if someone had bullied his wife, protecting his shortcomings like the best in the past and present.I was stunned for a moment, and didn't realize what he said until the next second. I was already used to General Hei's bad temper, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. It's because of his politeness to talk to people.

"Are you qualified to talk about others?" I teased him.

"Crap!"

The black dynamite bag glared at him fiercely, with an aggrieved look on his face that "good people are not rewarded".The people behind him were already attracted by his roar, and when they heard my rhetorical question, they all nodded in agreement.

"That's right."

"That's right."

"...That's why you guys are noisy!"

It is rare for a black ninja to be so embarrassed, and it inevitably becomes the laughing point of everyone.And after Heigang made such a fuss, the tension just now disappeared without a trace, and even if he really wanted to fight, the atmosphere would have long since disappeared.I turned my head and raised an eyebrow at Seishirou on the opposite side:

——Do you still fight?

--forget it.

Seishirou raised the corners of his lips in a kind manner, and instantly recovered his gentle appearance. He bowed slightly as an apology:

"Sorry, start over then,"

He said quite sincerely,

"Have you seen... twin vampires?"

When it comes to the twins, one has to think of the city where the world is gray.I felt the sight from my side and the sudden change of atmosphere again, and I sighed secretly in my heart, it really is impossible to forget, that place.

Heigan glanced at me indiscriminately, I smiled and signaled him not to worry, then turned around and said to Seishirou:

"It's a different world from here," I said calmly. "It's in 'Tokyo'."

"Are the two of them still in Tokyo?"

This is impossible to know.At that time, we were too busy to take care of ourselves, and left in a hurry with injuries and grief. Hei Gang and I looked at Feng Zhen who stayed there longer, and saw him shaking his head.

"No, already moved, just after you set off."

"Where have you been?"

"Do you think they'll tell your brother about me?"

The conversation ended awkwardly, and the two looked at each other with half-smiles, but they didn't see how embarrassed they were. What a strange pair of brothers.

Seishirou was silent for a moment, then sighed with some regret:

"It's said that hunters will be attracted by their prey, but... I just haven't seen the vampire I really want to see."

In the tone, the meaning of loneliness suddenly appeared, and it also made us more curious about what happened in the past, and what kind of relationship he had with Subaru, so that Kamui was so wary of him, because it didn't look like an accident. It's a simple game of chasing after me, and the reason for it is intriguing.Hei Gang and I looked at each other and saw the same puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Seishirou's inquiry was fruitless, so he activated the magic circle of the mobile dimension again, as if he came here just to ask us a word.His movement magic has a limit on the number of times, so he shouldn't have such a meaningless move, then...

Looking at the moving magic, I suddenly remembered something, and I was about to ask it but was intercepted by the boy:

"Wait a moment!"

Seishirou looked surprised, but he didn't say anything. Fortunately, he put away the magic circle with a good temper, and looked at the boy in front of him with a smile.

"Are you a little wolf too?"

The boy didn't answer.

"How's the feather?"

Hearing him ask this question, I stopped talking and just watched quietly.

"It's still there, it's here," Seishirou stroked his chest, "From the Sakura Capital Country... no, actually it should be the Sakura Country. After I got it there, I kept it with me."

"Again!"

The young man's voice was full of firmness that could not be retreated, even Seishirou could not be underestimated, his eyes gradually lit up, but his face was still smiling.

"That power is so powerful that it can turn a fictional world into reality. Even if you want me to return it, I can't answer 'OK, please accept'?"

The words have come to this point, and the meaning is clear.

The young man slowly raised his hand, and pulled out the family heirloom sword from his hand.Seishirou also transformed into a shadow sword, but continued to chat like an old friend:

"Can't it be resolved through negotiation?"

"Because I have been watching all the time, so I know what you are."

"Through another you... is it?"

The young man was silent, but his brows and eyes showed resoluteness, and he never backed down.

"In this regard, you are exactly the same as your father," Seishirou smiled meaningfully, "However, maybe it is because you are the biological father and son that you are like this."

My eyebrows jumped, and then I heard Mokona's question.

"Did he mean... Daddy who traveled with the pup?"

"No...Mr. Fujitaka and Xiaolang should not be related by blood."

I thought about it, and I seemed to feel that there was something that could be connected into a thread, but I also felt that my thoughts were complicated and I couldn't find a breakthrough for a while, so I had to suppress the doubts in my heart and focus on the current situation first, so I didn't find that Heigan was throwing at me. Come with an inquisitive look.

Hei Gang clenched his fists for a moment, he probably wanted to help the little wolf, but chose to give up after thinking deeply.Hei Gang and I looked at each other, and everything was clear in our eyes——

This is his fight.

And in front of us, the boy and the hunter, each holding a sword at this time, bet pride on their different or common thoughts, and invite a battle.

The shikigami becomes a sword, and the flat mirror reflects the chill in the hunter's eyes.

"Then let's begin."

Strong opponents face each other, neither side backs down, the decisive battle is about to start, but is interrupted by a heroic female voice:

"Wait—!"

Gentle and majestic, irresistible, this is Amaterasu.

"If you keep fighting like this, Bailu City will be destroyed," she said to Princess Zhishi, "The battle is carried out in the barrier."

Because I had something on my mind, I couldn't help but take another look at Princess Zhishi, but I didn't expect that she was also looking towards me, and signaled me to be calm with her eyes.I understood it, and then I watched her put her palms together and cast the spell, then opened her palms and pushed forward, the lavender light shot straight into the sky, and instantly opened a crescent-shaped barrier, making people admire that she is indeed the most powerful in Japan Princess Miko.

But when the light faded and everyone looked at the two people in the barrier, Zhishi and I quietly walked around under the cherry blossom tree on the other side of the barrier, facing everyone, but not enough to hear the voices. It's a good place for a private conversation.Thinking that Princess Bingxue of Bailu City is smart, she probably knew that I had something to say to her, and that's why she led me here.

"Just let Heigang and sister watch the battle next to those two." She said briskly, as if she didn't seem worried, she turned to me and said, "You have something to say to me."

I smiled and agreed.As she looked into the barrier, it was a little blurry from this side of the barrier, probably because of the distance, but she could still make out two figures, one black and one white, and she had already handed over her hands.

Heigang and I know the strength of Seishirou, so it is impossible for us to be concerned about the safety of the young man, but if you look closely, look at the young man's sword, his every move, and his His facial expression and demeanor make people trust him wholeheartedly, willing to believe from the bottom of his heart that what he wants to do will be accomplished in the end.

I looked away, let out a long breath, and gathered myself together, then turned my head and spoke to Princess Tomoyo, although this may also be a conversation that made people sigh.

"I heard that you are a 'dream', and you can see things in the future in your dreams."

She smiled and nodded, motioning for me to continue.

"However, when I came to Japan and saw you..."

I turned my face away, thinking back to the day I first arrived in Japan, naturally, that was also the day I escaped from Thrace.

That day, Hei Gang was seriously injured by Wang’s lightsaber during the fight, and he broke his own arm in order to take me away. He almost used his will to hold me tight to his chest until he opened his eyes and saw the sunshine of the new world. , Seeing me kneeling in front of him intact, I finally passed out with peace of mind.

But he passed out as if he had died, which frightened me at that time. At that time, blood gushed out from his large and small wounds, and I was so flustered that I even forgot how to stop the bleeding. There were only tears bursting, and The despair of being swept away by the fear of losing the black steel.Fortunately, Princess Zhishi had already arrived, so she immediately rescued Hei Gang, saved Hei Gang's life, and told me that Hei Gang would not die.

That day she wiped away my tears, behind her was the hopeful morning glow, like a fairy.

At that time, I only had Hei Gang in my heart, and even until Hei Gang was out of danger for several days, I was in a state of high mental tension. It was not until I thought about it later that I realized something was wrong at that time.

"But when I came into contact with you that day..." I paused, "I couldn't feel your power as a 'dream',"

As if she had expected that I would ask, she just smiled faintly.

"Just like you."

"I have given the ability to that person as a price."

She smiled so calmly, as if it had nothing to do with me, but my heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

"That... is for us to..."

The memory seems to have made a mistake. What happened a month ago seems like a lifetime ago, but once I recall it, it is still so clear.

Because of Thrace, I went back with the determination to die; because I trusted them from the bottom of my heart, so when I thought about leaving the tyrannical king that day, and thinking about my own destiny, I could almost predict the end of this trip. Dangerous... That's right, all of this is my fault, I got them involved, but I can't stop them from going with me.

There is no reason, nor is it possible.

Therefore, before leaving, I did not hesitate to use my magic to communicate with Miss Witch, it was only this time, and it was for my own selfishness.

"After going to Thrace, I don't think we will be able to leave safely," Of course, I omitted my mortal intentions to Miss Witch, and only mentioned the part of my wish.

"So I hope that the next country will be a safe place for them."

"Is it a country after Thrace?" Miss Witch pondered, "When it comes to safety, it also has many meanings."

"At least... a place where you can heal and rest if you are injured is enough."

"..."

"What's the price?"

"Because it is to decide the whereabouts of four people, so four people are required to pay."

Miss Witch's insistence seems a bit rigid to me, not to mention that this is just my personal wish - once I return to Thrace...how could I still need a place to go?

"But... this is just my wish..."

"Because of this, in addition to the prize money from the chess game, you have to pay another price... When you go to Thrace, please use movement magic."

"……Yes."

The magic of moving the world is a huge price for me today. Miss Witch and I know it well. She is a bit unbearable to mention it, but it makes me feel at ease, because I pay more.

Taking a ten thousand step back, I am willing to give my life for them.

I was just about to turn off the magic of communication, but I heard Miss Witch whispering to herself. She didn't seem to notice that she said it, and I never asked about it later, but I didn't expect the answer. Today, in such a peaceful conversation, was revealed.

"At that time, in order for us to move to Japan after Thrace, 'the insufficient part of the price has been received from another person'," I paused, "The person Miss Witch said at that time was you, right? , Princess Zhishi?"

She smiled and raised her head slightly, looking into the distance.

"Those of us who can see the future can only see the future, and because of this, we hope that our loved ones can walk on the road of happiness," she said with a faint sigh, "but, what we can do It’s very rare, too.”

she looks at me,

"Just like your king."

I was stunned for a moment, then understood.

"Do you know King Ashura?"

"Well... because dreams are connected, you can see the 'dreams' of the future through those dreams, and at the same time, you can know each other's existence in the dream."

I was silent for a moment, although nearly a month had passed, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I mentioned the king.

"So... the king has already learned about the future through dreams?"

"The king has seen the future, so he has been looking for a way to save you," Zhishi said, "At the same time, he himself gradually collapsed."

"However, it is very difficult to change the future. A little bit of words, actions, and intentions will have an unpredictable impact on the future, just like ripples spreading on the water," she said, looking up. Xiang Yingshu said, "Princess Sakura is the same. It is because she understands this truth that she didn't tell you anything."

I looked up following Tomoyo's gaze, and Sakura was still quietly lying between the branches of the century-old cherry blossoms, as if she was just asleep, as if nothing had happened before; but we both understand that everything has changed long ago, we Can never go back to the past.

Sakura's thin body is wrapped in a fat long skirt, and she looks thinner than when I first saw her. It reminds me of her sitting alone in front of the window in the endless darkness of Infinity City, looking at the endless sky. Lively streets, silent.

I used to think that it’s okay if my little daughter doesn’t want to mention it to me. Who would have thought that she would protect us with her life in the end. In order not to let the one she loves die, she used her strong luck——using her last bargaining chip to start a fight with the witch. Take a gamble.

And Wang Ta is the same.

"Many of the king's actions and things are irrational," I murmured, "It really is..."

"Yes," Zhishi replied, "that reason is gradually disintegrating, because of the dream of Flying King Reed."

Shiro Shadow in the barrier was knocked down to the ground, but he never gave up.Perhaps for this young man, as long as he lives for a day, he will never really fall down, he will definitely stand up - for his wish, for the love in his heart.

Wouldn't it be a heinous crime to stop such a sincere desire.

I saw the boy get up again, the firmness in his eyes seemed to be able to burn out all despair and sin.

"No, it should be said that breaking common sense is exactly that person's wish, Flying King Reed," Tomoyo continued, "That's right, that's probably everyone's wish."

"But... At the same time, that is the truth that no one can reverse."

Even if I have understood everything, the pain in my heart will still come clearly, after all, it has supported me to live through the years of more than 100 years.

"...It must be the same wish as mine."

I spoke with difficulty.

Fei Wang destroyed Suwa and Thracian kingdoms, let the princess's feathers fly away, and let us embark on a journey to find feathers; but the so-called feathers are just a cover, and the person who killed the person we love the most is tantamount to forcing us to make a wish ——

"Bringing the dead back to life."

This is an impossible wish.

Negating this wish seems to negate all of myself in the past. If I put it in the past, I'm afraid I will really go crazy; but if I don't let everything go back to the original track, how can I be worthy of the young man who is working so hard.

The girl will definitely support him, I think.

In the crescent-shaped enchantment, the princess's feathers suddenly shone with dazzling light, and then almost out of thin air, a huge and twisted enchantment was transformed. The world is entangled and devoured. "I'll come back with Princess Sakura—!"

In our anxious eyes at the last moment, he made such a promise to us, only Princess Zhishi knew it.

"Together with Sakura...?"

"He went to the dream world." Princess Zhishi mused.

I suddenly realized, I suddenly understood Seishirou's intention to come here, subconsciously looked at him, the latter put away the broken flat mirror with some helplessness, walked to his brother, seemed to complain a few words, and then joined everyone, Looking up at the sacred tree full of cherry blossoms.

Hua, who has the same name as the girl, accompanied her quietly, waiting with a century-old aura, connecting the ancient wood with the dream with the feather that concretized the phantom, connecting her and his dream into a world, so that we can finally meet again.

The road ahead is unknown, but we can only believe.

Hei Gang and I looked at each other and smiled, then jumped onto the ancient tree at the same time.

The girl still fell asleep quietly.
