Why is Miyashiki-sama like that?

[A story told to the system: "A Garland for Father"]

Shinka Ubuyashiki walked in the winding corridor of her house, holding the newly woven garland in her hand, and the flying birds may have smelled the fragrance and made bursts of brisk chirping.

This time, Zhenxiang weaved two garlands in total, and both parents participated.

This is called a bowl of water flat.As a child, there is absolutely no sense of favoritism in treating parents.

There is still morning dew on the leaves of the wreath, which is fragrant and faint, with a special vitality.

When Zhenxiang opened the door and walked into the room, her smooth black hair fell from her shoulders, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, like a flower fairy, sending blessings and magic to the kind-hearted Miyashiki couple.

[When the story reaches this point, the audience system can't help complaining: Why can you describe yourself as a flower fairy without changing your face?Just... sorry!I still want to continue listening, promise not to interrupt. 】

"Father, are you taking good care of your health today? You won't be bragging about going out again, right?" Zhenxiang asked.

Bad Yu Xing's father put on a wry smile: "The supervision is too tight, Zhenxiang, at least the first sentence should be to say hello when we meet, right? That's the only time I tried to be brave."

The mother, who was as beautiful as a flower demon, chuckled lightly: "It's my fault that I couldn't stop the child from worrying so much."

"It's not mother's fault." Zhenxiang shook her head repeatedly, folded two garlands in her hands, and didn't hand them out immediately, "Mother has always supported father, so father said that he would go to the cemetery to visit the grave, is mother right?" would say no, it's all a wayward father's problem."

"So it's only once, why do I remember it until now." The father was even more helpless, but he didn't refute anything. His concern from his daughter was actually very beneficial.

"Is it too much once? My father is really not conscious of his physical condition."

Zhenxiang snorted coldly, stretched out her hand and put a wreath on her mother's head, took the other wreath and stood in front of her father, but suddenly hesitated.

The father understood in seconds, and thoughtfully signaled the mother to leave with his eyes, leaving a space for the two of father and daughter.

"Is there something on your mind that you want to tell me alone?"

Zhenxiang was silent.

"Speak, I'm listening. It doesn't matter if you don't speak, I will leave today's time to you." The father's voice was so gentle that one couldn't help but relax as soon as he heard it, and wanted to talk about something.

But Zhenxiang has long been immune to this kind of aura, so she sighed deeply.

It's not that I find it hard to say, but that there are some things I don't want to say, at least I don't want to say it by myself.

My father has been the protagonist of the ghost killing team for many years, and he has faced countless doubts, and his heart has been tempered, but this is probably the first time from his daughter, right?

What's more, what Zhenxiang wants to question is far more stinging than "Why are you protected and let us fight ghosts?"

"Father, isn't it arrogance to regard Onimai Tsuji as a disgrace to the family?"

Father was a little surprised: "Why do you think so?"

Zhenxiang lowered her head and didn't look into her father's eyes: "How can there be a pure and flawless family in the world? No matter how good a family is, there will always be descendants of scum, just like there is no eternal dynasty in the world .”

She pinched a petal and fiddled with her fingertips. With lowered eyebrows, she casually watched the creases appear on the soft petals.

"Father, a scum appeared in our ancestors. This scum betrayed the family and committed numerous murders, but this is not the fault of our descendants. If I insist, it is also the fault of the person who raised that scum. Educate well at the beginning, or kill it early, and there will not be so much suffering and sacrifice today."

Talking angry, Zhenxiang finally pinched off the petals on her fingertips: "The curse that led to early death should not be on us, it should be on that scum."

"Zhenxiang..."

"Father, if the curse is really a punishment from the gods, isn't the god being too unreasonable?" Zhenxiang raised her head and stared at her father, "It's not fair at all. Every family will have shameful offspring, which will lead to curses." But only the Ubuyashiki family."

There was a long suppressed flame in Zhenxiang's eyes, which was a resentment that no one could ignore.

It was the first time her father came into contact with his daughter's hidden heart, but he looked so sharp and painful.

"Don't think so, Zhenxiang."

"Why don't you think so?" Zhenxiang couldn't help but make a sarcastic smile, "It's because it has to be like this. It's because no matter whether God exists or not, only us, the Ubuyashiki family, bear the curse of short life, so besides accepting it, we also There is no other way."

She tilted her head to avoid her father's distressed gaze.

Ah, my father lost his eyesight a long time ago, so he can no longer show distressed eyes.But why did she still feel it, and why was she so uncomfortable?

"Father, regard the existence of Kimai Tsuji as a shame, regard its elimination as a duty that must be fulfilled, and feel guilty because I have not been able to eliminate it...I can't do any of these. Rather, I don't understand why Generations of us have thought this way. At the end of the day, no one is forcing us to be responsible.”

The scene fell silent for a while, and both father and daughter slowed down their breathing.

After a while, the father said: "Zhenxiang, if you are tired, take a rest. You are a girl, so you don't have to bear these burdens."

"What nonsense are you talking about, father, am I being ignorant because of my gender?" Zhenxiang smiled, and her tensed nerves suddenly relaxed.

She gently rearranges the garland.

Just messed up the wreath a little bit with emotion.

She didn't come to quarrel with her father, but to wear flowers for her father.

"If you think about it, it's really unfair. Even the curse itself makes the men of the Miyayashiki family bear more burdens. The gods clearly want the family to be destroyed as soon as possible. If the future generations should be responsible for the scum that appeared in the ancestors, I thought we would have It should be an apology with death. It’s really shameless to have struggled to pass it on to this day, isn’t it?”

"Zhenxiang!"

The father was angry, but Zhenxiang showed a lack of interest in contrast.

"Are you angry? That's right. It is the responsibility of the head of the family to continue the family. What I said is indeed wrong... But, father, isn't it a kind of arrogance that the Ubuyashiki family has come to this day with this belief? ?”

She snapped her fingers: "Take the curse as an example. There is no clear evidence that it is a punishment from God. I am thinking, is the short life really related to Oni Wu Tsuji? What if it just happened at the same time? ? What if the curse can’t be ended by eliminating Onimai Tsuji? What if it’s just a genetic disease?”

Listening, my father wasn't too angry anymore, he asked: "In your heart, are there other things that can prove this kind of 'arrogance'?"

"Yeah, it's like... knowing that the offspring will be tortured by the curse, but insisting on giving birth to offspring, and letting the offspring continue to lead the ghost killing team, leading the team members to fight desperately against ghosts.

"From the beginning, the future generations were considered as a tool to be used, didn't they?

"Obviously it is possible to train the protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad, but only offspring who are always under the curse are the most reliable. Ubuyashiki is also a thorn in the side of Onimai Tsuji, so naturally he does not have the conditions for rebellion. So I know that the offspring are doomed from birth. If you can’t get happiness, you still give birth decisively.”

"Ah... so you think so." My father sighed softly, "But I don't feel that I have suffered all my life and have no happiness. I always feel very happy when I am with my wife. On the day you were born , I pray to the gods, I hope you can get more happiness than me."

Zhenxiang was not moved by such words, she even immediately thought of how to say that would further hurt her father: "But you know that you don't have a long life, but you still marry a wife, even though you know it well, it means that your wife will understand sooner. to the pain of losing her husband."

She showed a somewhat curious look: "What do you think? Don't you feel guilty when you face your mother? Mother is such a good woman, but she has to take care of her bad husband. Watching her husband die little by little Nothing can be done, and the children born will experience the same fate in the future, all of which can be foreseen from the beginning of marriage."

Father's fingers squeezed, and it seemed as if they were suddenly twitching.

Zhenxiang knows that it's enough to stop talking here, and she has gone too far.

But she couldn't stop.

"Father must feel guilty, right?

"After all, you are the one who is ashamed because you can't eliminate Onimai Tsuji Muyou; the one who remembers the names of all the members of the Ghost Slayer Squad who died; the one who is weak and insists on sweeping the grave.

"I have never doubted the love between you and my mother, but I am curious how you, who feel guilty, get happiness from my mother.

"Isn't it true that you can't help but apologize repeatedly before you feel happy?"

"Zhenxiang!" The mother who should have avoided leaving suddenly appeared. This was the first time Zhenxiang saw her mother angry, "Do you know what idiots you are talking about, Zhenxiang? It's too much!"

Zhenxiang didn't know how much her mother had heard, but it didn't really matter.

She said coolly: "It turns out that this is too much. It is too much for the Ubuyashiki family who have been passing the curse on to their descendants... But it is enough to say this, isn't it father? This is the last time I call you father."

Father caressed and took mother's hand, and took a light breath.

What else did he not understand?Zhenxiang didn't mean to hide it at all: "When did you contact Ghost Dance Tsuji?"

Zhenxiang was a little surprised, but not surprised: "Have you guessed it? It was yesterday. I was afraid of long nights and dreams, so I came to you today. Although it was not my original intention, if I can't give enough votes, there will be no tragedy." Adults won't believe me."

My father said, "Even if you take my head to see Wumai Tsuji, Wumai Guiwuji won't believe you."

"That's okay, I just want to end the curse of the Ubuyashiki family, and I don't expect myself to live. Genocide is also a way to end the curse."

Father closed his eyes: "Then, you are no longer a member of the Ubuyashiki family."

"Remove my name? Okay, I accept it. From now on, I don't have a surname anymore." Zhenxiang laughed.

All three people present had foreseen what would happen next, so the mother shook father's hand even harder.

Zhenxiang pulled out the hidden poisonous needles from the branches of the wreath.

In fact, yesterday, her father already had a bad premonition.

But because this premonition came from his own child, he did not choose to avoid this meeting.

"Forgive me, no matter how hard we struggle, it is impossible to destroy Onimai Tsuji. It is us humans who are sinking into the abyss of despair that should realize that the reality is being wiped out. There is no hope." Zhenxiang said in a voice that only she could hear clearly.

At the end of the story, Zhenxiang still puts the useless wreath on her father's head.

She left this sentence: "Father, I lied to you when I said that this was the last time I called your father. You can deny me, but you will always be my father."
