Leisure Holiday [Comprehensive]

After that, everything was calm.

Mana Ohara was brought back to Honmaru by Sakura to recuperate, and autumn slowly approached in a blink of an eye.

During the period, Sakura received a call from Conan, and as soon as she got through, she was asked a lot of questions, but in conclusion, these questions had only one purpose, which was to ask Sakura for an answer.He went there a few times but never found the capital house on the [-]-chome of Mihuacho. Maybe Sakura has done something wrong.

Sakura's answer was "Yes." She used an enchantment to hide the capital, and ordinary people would no longer notice that building. If anyone wants to break in, they must be prepared to die.

Conan, who was holding the phone, pursed his lips, and asked in a deep voice for a while, "Can't you tell me?"

Sakura chuckled softly, very lightly, if you don't pay attention to it, you can easily ignore it.But this laughter is not ridicule, nor does it mean to perfuse Conan at all, it is just a very ordinary and pleasant laughter.

Sakura said: "Ohara Mana's incident was weird from the very beginning. Starting from the two police officers and Conan, the other party was trying to lure me into the bait step by step. Perhaps even the first forgiveness was the bait they released for me. The other party He tried his best, was ruthless, and didn't care if innocent people were involved. That's it, killing so many people is just to pull me into the game. So, can you understand, Conan."

Conan held the phone silently, how could he not understand.

After a while, just when Sakura thought he was about to hang up the phone, Conan asked again: "The last question is related to the 'inner world', isn't it?"

"Yes..." Sakura replied without any hesitation, "So stop here, don't get involved anymore. Think about Xiaolan, Ayumi and the others, and those people you care about. Let go of this matter and don't Take risks for this. Even I can't guarantee 100% that I can protect everyone."

"I see...Sakura...be careful." After a long silence, Conan softly uttered a sentence.

"I will, thank you." In a place where Conan couldn't see, Sakura showed a relieved smile.

Since then, Conan will occasionally send messages and emails to Sakura, talking about some interesting things in life or various cases encountered in daily life.When Sakura didn't reply in time, she would immediately call to confirm.Although he promised not to participate in Sakura's affairs, he still silently followed her in his own way.

Sakura understood why Conan did this, so she didn't refuse his email checks, and even developed the habit of replying emails regularly for this reason.

It wasn't until school started that the frequency of receiving emails from Sakura decreased slightly.

On the first weekend after school started, Sakura received a call from Atobe.His voice on the phone was a little tired, but he still asked Sakura to meet him, and he wanted to ask about some things in person.

Sakura looked sideways at Mana Ohara who was lying on the bed and still didn't respond, and agreed to his invitation after thinking about it.After the two agreed on the place and time to meet, they didn't continue to exchange pleasantries, and soon hung up the phone.

Sakura walked out of the room where Mana Ohara was temporarily staying, and let out a soft breath after closing the door.Inadvertently, she recalled what Ohara Natsuki said before his death again.

"Kyoto..." She sighed softly, leaning against the door, raised her hand to gently cover her left chest.The heart was beating there gently and quietly, but Sakura didn't know why, every time she mentioned Kyoto, the beating frequency obviously didn't change at all, but her heart always throbbed one after another.As a result, she still hasn't made up her mind whether to go to Kyoto until now.She seemed to instinctively not want to get close to it.

When the throbbing pain gradually stopped, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, left the lightly leaning door, and slowly walked back to the room.

"The old man lives in the old place, and the heart becomes hard to know. Only the plum blossoms are there, and the fragrance is like the old days." Back in the room, Sakura took out the maple leaf she got in the dream, and read the poem on it softly.

Sure enough, it was still foreshadowing something.

Putting the maple leaf back into the book and pressing it down, Sakura suddenly lay limply on the low table as if her spine had been pulled out, and soon fell asleep.

When Hasebe came to report yesterday's battle situation, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Sakura lying asleep on the low table.

It seemed that he was used to this scene, Hasebe didn't say anything, just sighed lightly, picked him up and put him on the bed.

When covering Sakura with the quilt, Hasebe inadvertently seemed to see black fine lines like scales appearing on her fair neck.

Hasebe's hand holding the blanket paused, but when he looked carefully, he found that there was nothing there, and it was still white and tender as before.

Hasebe, who just thought it was him who was dazzled for a moment, didn't think much, and quietly retreated after covering Sakura with a blanket.

The moment Hasebe closed the door, Sakura who was supposed to be asleep suddenly opened her eyes.

Her pupils were full of blood, and the pupils of normal humans had turned into vertical pupils that only beasts had, looking coquettish and dangerous.She opened her eyes quietly, and stretched out her hand under the quilt to cover her neck, where a large black scale grew, spreading all the way to her collarbone.

"It won't be long if this goes on..." She closed her eyes and murmured.

From a long time ago, Sakura knew that her memory was incomplete, and even some memories were slowly disappearing with time.But what she didn't expect was that after coming here by accident, some memories were gradually revived, those that were once forgotten, or that had become indifferent.

Just like that person.

The person whose memory has long been blurred, his appearance became clearer and clearer as the memory recovered, and those things in the past also came to mind clearly.

The opportunity can no longer be pursued, whether this matter is good or bad, Sakura herself cannot make a judgment.

However, as she digested the sudden influx of memories, Sakura also felt a change in her body.

For a long time, Sakura thought that she was just a human being who had lived a little longer, but the scales on her body and the vertical pupils that were different from ordinary people seemed to remind her that she was not what she thought.

"Seimei..." Turning sideways, Sakura closed her eyes and gently uttered the name that she hadn't called again for nearly a thousand years.

Sakura entered the dream again.

Still under the huge ginkgo tree, the golden color all over the ground seems to have never changed.

Sakura approached the tree, raised her hand to cover the thick trunk of the ginkgo, closed her eyes and quietly felt the familiar aura on it.

The wind blew gently, rolling up the yellow ginkgo leaves on the ground.Accompanied by the rustling sound, the footsteps of someone walking were very clear.

Sakura opened her eyes, and turned her head to look at the place where the voice came from—behind herself.

The visitor was still dressed in white hunting clothes, and he still walked in that calm and unhurried manner.He walked up to Sakura and stopped, holding a juniper fan, beating his palm one after another.

Sakura looked at him quietly.

His face was still covered with a layer of mist, making it hard for people to see his appearance clearly.

This time Sakura knew very well that she knew this person, no longer the hazy feeling before, even though he still covered his face, she knew who he was.

"Seimei..."

Sakura looked at the person in front of her and called softly.

With this call, the mist covering the visitor's face dissipated completely, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Seimei stopped tapping her palms.He looked at Sakura, and there was some emotion in his eyes that she still couldn't understand. He sighed and said, "Long time no see, Sakura."

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

Seeing this person again after being away for thousands of years, Sakura wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but she didn't know what to ask when the words came to her lips, and in the end she just answered Seimei's words.

After that, the two fell into an unspeakable silence.

At this time, the ginkgo tree in the dream has quietly turned into the appearance of the many leaf cherry, the orange on the ground is replaced by the cherry powder, and the breeze blows, and the pink snow falls.

Raising his hand to catch the falling petals, Seimei asked aloud, "How much... do you remember?"

"Sure enough, you did it." Sakura didn't answer Seimei's question, she chuckled and returned with a smile.After a pause, she suppressed her smile and continued, "I'm not human... You already knew that when you brought me back to raise me, right?"

"Yes." Seimei replied without concealment.

"Why did you do that?" Sakura laughed, with deep doubts hidden in her tone.She didn't dwell on the fact that she wasn't human, but wondered why Seimei would do anything to her memory.

He obviously saved her, picked her up when she didn't know anything, raised her carefully, and taught her everything, but why did he deliberately seal her memory so that she would gradually forget those pasts?

"It's a long story." Qingming replied lightly.

"Let's make a long story short." Sakura said with a deadpan expression.

Presumably he didn't expect Sakura to say such a word suddenly, Seimei's eyes widened suddenly, as if meeting Sakura for the first time.However, this stunned look only existed for a second, and in the next second, he laughed endlessly as if his laughing acupoint was suddenly tapped.

When he laughed enough and the corners of his eyes were soaked with water, Sakura, who had never been darkened at any time, could already use black ink to describe her complexion.

Qingming coughed twice, stopped laughing, but the corners of her lips were still raised and said: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is the first time I saw Sakura like this, I couldn't hold back..."

Sakura clenched her fists hanging by her side. If the person in front of her was not Seimei, who had the grace of nurturing her, she might have already done it.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from the ground, and all the fallen flowers on the ground were swept up in the air, whistling and blowing past.

Sakura stood at the same spot and saw the lips of the person who was blocked by Sakura Fubuki opened and closed, as if he was talking about something, mixed with the sound of the wind, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

After the wind stopped and Sakura blowing snow stopped, there was no one in front of Sakura.

Sakura stood quietly on the spot, recalling Seimei's last words, blinked her eyes, and in the next second, she left the dream.

Sakura woke up and sat up from the bed. At this time, it was just the time for the sunset outside the window, and the fire clouds in the sky were extremely beautiful.

However, now is not the time for her to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Looking at the cherry blossom petals all over the room, Sakura pressed her throbbing temple and groaned in pain.

——The last time it was ginkgo, this time it was cherry blossoms. Cleaning the room is exhausting, Seimei!
