Why is Miyashiki-sama like that?

There must be a talk, and before that, Zhenxiang first had a good meal.

The food that Sakunosuke brought back was just ordinary farm food, but he was willing to take the initiative to carry the food box and run so far, but he really had a heart.

The more precious Zhenxiang is, the more she doesn't want to let her go. It feels so comfortable to be taken care of in such a small way.

Kagura, who was sleeping, smelled the food, and crawled over like a zombie in a daze. He was about to pick up the rice with his bare hands, but Sakunosuke hurriedly stopped him, put the chopsticks into Kagura's hand, and guided Kagura to correct the food in a state of unconsciousness. Have a meal.

This real big eater probably won't wake up until he has eaten all of it. He is not picky at all, and can eat whatever he is given. In a way, he is actually quite easy to feed.

Maybe this child eats a lot to make up for the consumption caused by the ability?It's pretty scientific when you think about it.

Zhenxiang ate her own amount, and exited the house with Sakunosuke, leaving Kagura to eat to her heart's content alone.

Outside is the setting sun, and you can see gray birds flying in the sky from a distance.The breeze was blowing, the temperature was pleasant, and the clouds were smudged into several strong colors.

Zhenxiang had a rare childlike innocence: "Sakunosuke, how about we go to the roof of the house to talk?"

She didn't have the ability to climb up by herself, so the subtext was to ask the bodyguard to take her.

Sakunosuke first confirmed the firmness of the top, then nodded in agreement, and hugged Zhenxiang up.

It is very strange that Oda Sakunosuke is obviously only a 20-year-old young man, but when he hugs Zhenxiang, he has a very strong feeling of "an old father holding a child".Maybe it's because the down-to-earth life in him is too strong, or maybe he just can't help but want to take care of others.

Zhenxiang doesn't mind being "carried" by a "children" at all, on the contrary, she is quite happy.

After reaching the top, Sakunosuke naturally withdrew his hand: "I was rude just now."

"There's nothing impolite about it." Zhenxiang smiled and stood still, looking towards the setting sun.

Standing at a more open high place, the scenery seen by the eyes seems to be more magnificent and gorgeous. The clouds and the sun are burning and boiling like a fire. Although it is a silent picture, it seems that there is passionate music playing.

"Sakunosuke, if I don't have to worry about life and death anymore, I might happily watch the sunset every day. The mountains are full of poetic sentiments, and it's really a grand sight to stay when the sunset is infinite... Do you like it? View?"

The setting sun dyed Sakunosuke's reddish hair into a very eye-catching red, which added youthful vigor, but did not weaken his calm and dull temperament. Perhaps some people have never had a chance with words like "lively" all their lives.

"In my case, I prefer the sea." Sakunosuke said, his sincerity was hard to tell because of his lack of tone. "Maybe I will buy a house with a view of the sea in the future."

"If you don't resign, you will be able to earn enough money in a few years." Zhenxiang took the opportunity to seduce him.

"Sorry, although I am very grateful that you have offered me such a high salary, but I think this job is different from what I imagined." Sakunosuke paused, probably to emphasize his distress, but he didn't show anything Come out, "I don't want to be a swordsman who kills ghosts."

Zhenxiang felt that this must be a misunderstanding: "I gave you the job of bodyguard, not the job of killing ghosts."

"Although there are some differences, it is always necessary to kill ghosts." Sakunosuke affirmed.

This statement made Zhenxiang unable to refute.Sakunosuke never beats around the bush when he speaks, so it seems very annoying at certain times.His words were so to the point that Zhenxiang didn't even have the mood to argue.

Employers who need to be protected always take the initiative to find ghosts, and do not choose to flee after encountering ghosts.Correspondingly, it is only natural for bodyguards to often fight ghosts.

Zhenxiang doesn't want to say that she must hide from ghosts in the future, so as to stabilize Zuozhisuke for the time being.

She knew that Sakunosuke would not be fooled just like that. Although the young man looked dumb, his brain was not stupid.

She had no choice but to sigh and said: "It seems that Sakunosuke thinks that ghosts can still be regarded as 'human beings', but like Kanae, they are very gentle. But in fact, most people think that ghosts are another kind of existence, a kind that cannot be seen. Those who are sympathetic to others only need hatred and hatred to exist.”

"Even if everyone thinks that way, I have my own insistence." Sakunosuke shook his head calmly, "And what you hold is not the opinion of the majority, is it?"

Zhenxiang was silent for a while, and smiled lightly: "Maybe, but my thoughts are not important. Because I am the leader of the ghost killing team, my responsibility is to lead everyone to defeat ghosts, eliminate ghosts, and make unremitting efforts towards the final victory. that is it."

Sakunosuke was speechless for a moment.

He felt that the lord lord needed to be comforted at this time, but he did not have such qualifications.He was just an intern bodyguard who was favored by chance, and he was still trying to resign. There was really no reason to go beyond and express his concern.

The relationship between them has not been that close.

Zhenxiang suppressed her smile, and turned her head to look at Sakunosuke: "Actually, I'm curious why Sakunosuke decided to give up fighting, but if you ask directly, you may refuse to answer, so I will use one of my secrets to tell you." Exchange it with you."

She turned her head and continued to admire the sunset, and without giving any chance of being rejected, she continued, "I, actually, can't live for too long. Don't look at how healthy I am now. I'm actually in a situation where if I don't work hard to fight against fate, I will die." dead state."

She said it lightly, as if she was casually commenting on the clouds in the sky, but Sakunosuke felt it was the truth.

The red-haired young man couldn't help feeling heavy. He didn't understand why Zhenxiang told him this. Could it be that he wanted to ask for help?

But asking for help from an ex-assassin who has no talents other than killing can make an ex-assassin feel helpless.

Zhenxiang blinked and smiled again: "The Ubuyashiki family is a cursed family. Thousands of years ago, there was an Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi in the ancestors. After that, no one can live to be 30 years old. Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi is all ghosts. It is the source of the original ghost and the king of all ghosts, and it has lived to this day. It’s ironic, right? It’s as if the life of the entire Ubuyashiki family has been sucked away, flowing continuously along the invisible blood ties Send it to Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumi."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Sakunosuke again, and was really amused by Sakunosuke's expression at the moment: "Why do you look constipated? Well, let me also hear your secret."

Sakunosuke said with mixed feelings: "It's not a secret, I just don't think it's necessary to tell others, it's not for any particular reason... I decided not to kill people because I think people who will take other people's lives are not qualified to write life .”

[Huh?What kind of magical idea is this?Is it similar to the concept that people who eat rabbit meat are not qualified to raise rabbits? ] Zhenxiang feels surprised.

She had actually guessed it before, but all she could think of were some heart-wrenching plot routines.

For example, Sakunosuke lost his lover and repented; another example was that after killing someone, he found out that he had killed himself by mistake and then repented; another example was that after killing someone, he found out that his lover who had been in a platonic relationship for three years through letters had lost contact. Killed his lover with his own hands, so he was so painful that he felt remorseful and completely realized...

Guilty, sin, all bad conjectures.

But why does the actual situation feel more nonsensical than sad jokes?

The system casually echoed: [Rabbit, good metaphor. ]

[System, you are so perfunctory, you also want to do something similar, think about it quickly. ]

[Uh... Then, people who steal texts are not eligible to live? ]

[Wonderful! ] Zhenxiang was overjoyed, wishing to be amazed, [Enough ruthless!but I like it!This is too right! ]

So Zhenxiang understood Sakunosuke's thoughts in an instant: "I see, so you want to become a novelist?"

"Yeah, someone encouraged me, and I really wanted to try it."

"No wonder Sakunosuke doesn't want to kill any more people, he also doesn't want to kill ghosts." Zhenxiang nodded, "Ghosts used to be humans, they were 'wrong lives' following 'life' and had a 'distorted life'. In that case, Sakunosuke, can I ask you something? It's a personal request."

"what?"

"Create a book about ghosts in the future." Zhenxiang's purple eyes were full of profound brilliance, "Ghosts are a kind of sad creatures. After being wiped out, even their bones cannot be preserved. If their stories can be read Write it down, even if it's just a few strokes..."

...It feels like it has a little value, and it seems that this thing that once existed has become meaningful.

But in the final analysis, ghosts are meaningless existence after all, they are just derivatives of the desperate nature of this world, even if they are written down, they will not be really valuable.

Ah, the system must not let the system know about this disrespectful thought to Onimai Tsuji.

Sakunosuke felt distressed: "If you want to describe ghosts, you must first understand ghosts."

"Yes, that's true." Zhenxiang said slyly, "Or ask someone who understands ghosts, such as me."

How could he still say that.Sakunosuke couldn't help but feel admiration.

No wonder Zhenxiang can lead an organization at this age. Compared with Zhenxiang, he is extremely ordinary.

"If Sakunosuke doesn't want to be a bodyguard, just be my friend, and I will provide funds to support your book writing. If you don't want to be funded, then it will be counted as my investment in you. In the future, please work hard to create a book that can If you sell novels, make more money to give back to me."

"Ah..." In the end, the original intention was to talk about resignation, but it became like this while talking.

Zuozhisuke was a little hesitant. After all, he was not good at words, and he couldn't use words to evaluate Zhenxiang's apparent reckless behavior.

But he can be sure that he has been persuaded.

Do you want to be friends?He found himself willing.

"Well, that's the only way to go." Sakunosuke said finally.Because I can no longer say no.

He still doesn't want to get close to fight and kill, but after hearing Zhenxiang's confession, he can't let go of it anymore.He couldn't help caring about Zhenxiang, just like he couldn't help caring about Kagura who was exiled to a foreign country.

Zhenxiang smiled slyly: "Great, don't worry my friend, I understand your situation, and I won't let you kill ghosts in the future. As a friend, I will fully support your creation. Now I plan to go back to Yokohama, do you want to go together?"

"...Well, let's go together." After all, there is no way to say "no".
