[Comprehensive] There are thirteen days left until the collapse of the Honmaru

In fact, Yao Research was not fainted by the weight of the mind examiner—otherwise it would be too exaggerated.

Yasuhara Tokiha stared blankly at the hand that accidentally touched the opponent's cheek, which was stained with white fine sand and bloodshot.

"This is……"

She suddenly remembered that Hotaru once said that every knife in Honmaru has its own dark place-the candlestick cut turns into a monster in human skin at night, and Qingguang is cursed all day long. Even Hotaru also cut off a large piece of his rotten part... What about Yakuken?What will his performance be!

The answer is already out.

--weathering.

In the concept of geology, "weathering" refers to the disintegration or alteration of rocks in situ under normal temperature conditions at or near the surface.

This is what happens to rocks that have always been solid, but what about when it manifests itself in a human being?

The God Interrogator hadn't thought about such a terrible question before, but today, she saw the answer with her own eyes.

As a sword forged through thousands of years of tempering, do you want to watch yourself being turned into ashes inch by inch?

It's... how cruel.

So I want to find my relatives in the last and little time left.

The judge silently clenched his fists.

She used the sheathed knife in her hand as a crutch, propped it on the ground, and tried to walk two steps. She was surprised to find that the wound on her left ankle healed very quickly.

This should be a little bit of good news.

Then Yasuhara Tokiha picked up the unconscious Yakken again, and tied his back with a piece of rope left before, so as not to slip down from time to time.

In any case, she couldn't just leave him in the woods like this.

But how to get out now?

Yasuhara glanced sadly at the white top of his head, it was still shrouded in mist, but it seemed to be surrounded by exactly the same cedar forests.

I got lost.

No matter, take one step at a time.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yasuhara was so tired that he leaned on the edge of a tree to rest, but he heard a low sigh from the people behind him.

"Put me down, General."

"You're not heavy." Yasuhara Shiyu joked, "It's just a short knife, and I have a walking stick."

Yao Yan took a look at the saber whose scabbard was almost worn out, feeling very sorry for it.

"General, please be nice to the other sword men in this pill. Even if this is a sword that has lost its soul, it has fought for you."

"Huh?" The god judge was stunned for a moment, "Lost soul? But... I don't know who it is."

"Didn't Qing Guang say anything?"

"No."

"Oh..." Yao Yan was thoughtful, "Then it must be his consideration."

No, people just didn't have time to say it.

"General, where are you going to carry me?"

Yaoken's voice was very weak, revealing a faint sense of melancholy.

"Go to the exit."

Fu Sangshen had a glimmer of hope in his heart: "Do you know the way?"

"I don't know." Yasuhara Tokiha replied straightforwardly.

"..."

Yaoken began to sigh again.

Believing that this general is reliable is simply the stupidest thing he has ever done in his life!

"But the road has to be walked—even if it's a wrong road, you can only know it if you walk it, isn't it?"

"It seems to be very philosophical." Yao Yan closed his eyes and mocked, "But what's the use? In the end, you wasted your energy, but you can only lead me around in circles."

"Pharmaceutical research." The examiner said abruptly.

The black-haired Fu Sangshen was stunned, thinking she was angry, but unexpectedly, An Yuan said a word.

"Maybe you're right...but don't give up. I'll definitely...let you see you again."

Yaken Toshiro didn't speak for a long time, he suddenly laughed, but it was more like crying.

"yes."

What a beautiful word.

Although I knew I was being comforted by someone, but I was still... very happy.

"I'm not comforting you." Anyuan Shiyu said without turning his head, as if he had read his mind, "I'm just describing the facts - you are my knife, and so is the first issue, so I won't give up You, I will also find Yiqi Yizhen one day."

"But..." Yaoken Fujishiro replied with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... I'm afraid I won't last until that day."

When he said these words, some fine sand slowly fell, and some slipped into An Yuan's collar, which made her a little uncomfortable, but the interrogator still didn't show this.

Yaken Toshiro was very tired.

He couldn't walk anymore.

Whether it is the body or the mind, it has long been riddled with holes and cuts and bruises.

If there is a gust of wind blowing, it may be able to blow him away now.

Is such a fragile thing still a sword?

...or is he just an incompetent person who desperately wants to take another look at his old friend?

"It's painful to gradually weather like this?"

"...Not really."

Yaoken replied against his will.

It's actually quite painful, first in the limbs, then in the trunk, and finally in the head.

Little by little, inch by inch, it turned into countless fine sands, flying and falling to the ground, leaving no trace of his existence.

This weathering process is very fast, but it also lasts for several days.

During the whole process, Yao Yan could only watch helplessly as his physical strength weakened, and his body began to become fragile, until in the end, it became easier to be destroyed than the most fragile thing in the world.

Before the god judge came, he didn't want to live, but he was bound by his brother's agreement, so he could only clenched his teeth and persisted; but when the god judge came, he seemed to be relieved suddenly, and his whole body fell into a coma. Slack down - it's never going to be as strong as it was before.

With his back on his back, Yasuhara Tokiha walked forward tenaciously, step by step, "I can't help you even with my hands?"

"...can't help." Yao Yan laughed silently, how come at this time, the general is still as naive as ever?

"sorry."

However, the judge made a serious and serious apology.

Fu Sangshen stopped smiling, and from an angle that An Yuan couldn't see, his face showed an extremely sad expression.

"But, it's not your fault... General."

I know you have tried your best.

The judge thought for a while and said, "Now that things have come to an end, I hope you can hate me."

"Ha...why?"

"Whether it's love or hate, I can always support a person, and I have a little hope of living." Yasuhara Tokiha explained in a low voice, the fog in front of him seemed endless, and he didn't know when it would end—like this Life is the same.

Yao Yan was silent for a long time, and then he lay next to her ear and said softly: "But I don't want to insist anymore."

It hurts too much...the body, the mind, it hurts too...

No matter how good he is at medicine, he can't heal his own pain—for Yaken Toshiro, every extra moment of his life seems to be suffering.

Yao Yan originally thought that his words would not be understood, and it was more likely that the God Judge got angry and threw him down.

However, Yasuhara Tokiha neither threw her away nor got angry, she just said calmly: "Actually... I have been thinking about it for a long time since I heard about you from Hotaru and the others: when my subordinates face How can I help him when he is in such great pain that he cannot bear it any longer?"

"But I've been thinking about it for a long time... I don't know how to really help you, or to persuade you to live a little stronger——I don't have the qualifications to say that you don't have back pain when you stand."

"In the final analysis, I'm just a bystander. I'm not the one who fell into the dark, and I'm not the one who was tortured by weathering. Your life belongs to you. Only you can bear this pain. No matter how beautiful or sweet I say, maybe To you... it's all sarcastic talk."

"Not the person involved, who can understand this feeling?"

Speaking of this, she smiled helplessly, "But even if it's a sarcastic remark, I have to say it - if you are tired, if you can't walk anymore... just give me your unfulfilled dream. "

I'm going to help you make it happen.

This is probably the only thing I can do for you as a general.

Yao Yan was stunned, and after a long time, his hands trembled, and he slowly hugged her shoulders from behind, but his face was buried in the fabric around his neck, and he endured it stubbornly.

"Actually, I... don't want to give up just like this... I want to see Brother Yiqi again! I also want to see my younger brothers! Even others, whoever... As long as I live, I can do it! But now I have ...It's already painful, and I don't want to take another step."

The judge listened silently, and she suddenly found out in horror that the weight on her back seemed to have become lighter.

"Don't look back!" Yao Yan pleaded, "General, please keep going... Just go on like this..."

At least this will make me feel better.

Yasuhara Tokiha wiped his red eye sockets with the back of his hand, kept walking, and only said one word.

"it is good."

"General... General, please forgive me, I... I'm afraid I won't be able to swing the knife for you again."

"it is good."

Yaken Toshiro smiled lowly, and stuffed a small golden bell into her palm.

"If you really see Brother Yiqi one day, please return this bell to him—he will understand everything."

"understood."

"What you said just now, please keep it secret...don't tell anyone, even if it's Brother Yiqi, don't tell him." A look of regret appeared on Yaoyan's face, "I hope that in his heart, I have always been that strong and brave brother."

"……it is good."

"Then I... have nothing to say."

There is nothing to complain about.

Instead of being abandoned, he was carried for such a long distance by the general.Far enough to be worthy of this short and fleeting fate.

It's just that Yaoyan suddenly thought of an important question, and asked anxiously:

"General, do you think... I'm fragile?"

"No." Yasuhara Tokiha said firmly, "You are the strongest and boldest sword I have ever seen—the first time I met you, you dared to grab the God Judge's collar and roar—you are really powerful."

"Why are you still joking at this time..." Yao Yan smiled feebly, "I'm so sorry that day."

"Well, I didn't take it to heart anyway, and I've forgiven you a long time ago."

enough.

It's time to stop.

The agreement has been completed, the forgiveness has been obtained, and even the remaining dreams will be realized by someone.

That's enough.

But why... tears still want to flow down unstoppable?

"Since it's the last time, let me tell you...Actually, I've been looking forward to your arrival, General, but it's painful."

Hope comes from the confusion, the desire to be led, and the pain comes from the sadness of being left behind at the critical moment.

Yasuhara Tokiha finally stopped in her tracks. Instead of walking forward panting, she lowered her head and looked at the bell in her palm, as if she didn't hear the words of the person behind her, but only Yaoken knew clearly that in this At the last moment, the judge will listen more attentively than anyone else.

Countless fine sand began to slide down.

"General, I don't hate you anymore—because after knowing that you are not the kind of person who will leave us behind, my boring resentment has long since dissipated."

"Actually, I didn't expect to be here, and to see the general who came here to look for me again... So at this moment, in my heart, there is only unparalleled... gratitude."

"Thank you... You are such a gentle person."

I am really, very happy to have met a general like you.

According to legend, the origin of the name Yakuken came from the event that Hatakeyama Masaharu wanted to commit suicide in a temple after the failed coup d'état.

When the short knife that had been cherished for many years could not pierce the abdomen no matter what, Masashi Hatakeyama was furious, and directly threw the short knife at the Yaoken, which was used for pounding medicine, in the corner of the room. Unexpectedly, the knife pierced through A sturdy iron pounding tool.

From then on it got its name, Yaken Toshiro.

——Would rather pierce Yaoken, no matter how sharp it is, it will never hurt the master, the knife of loyalty.

Yasuhara Tokiha slowly raised his hand, and the knife in his left hand fell to the ground, accompanied by the nylon rope that was originally used to prevent the person behind him from slipping.

But she didn't care about these things at this time, she just covered her face tremblingly, and tears flowed silently from her fingers.

Because she no longer felt the slightest weight on her back.

Even the dagger on the main body turned into flying sand and drifted away with the wind.

"Drug research... Yao research!"

She knelt alone in the foggy forest, weeping uncontrollably.

【"Well, it's great to have this power! No matter what happens, I can protect the general!"】

Thank you, then this time, let me guard your dream.
