As we all know, winding zero is a human being

Ji Guoyan Sheng's pouring hand trembled slightly, and he let out a slow breath.

After he came back to his senses, he didn't seem to care much about the address: "You should call me by my name, Zero."

Nodding dispensably, Zero said he understood what he meant.

Well, the opinions of the parties are always taken into consideration, although he doesn't know how Yan Sheng has the same title as Teacher Yuanyi, maybe he just isn't used to it.

Ji Guoyan Sheng suddenly felt that he wanted to laugh.

It's always been like this, he's always been like this.

Even the markings that block the future by borrowing longevity from the sky, like a life-threatening talisman, can be gently pushed away, just as a beautiful decoration.

In his eyes, there is nothing that he can fight for in the future, so why can he do this?

Most of the swordsmen of the ghost killing team have a deep hatred for ghosts, and they are actually pursuing Zebra fanatically, just wanting to wipe out the ghosts before they die?

And Yuanyi's words seemed to be in his ears: "If we will die tomorrow... But a child in this world whose talent far surpasses ours may have already been born. The rules of the world will not change because of you and me, my lord brother." .”

"We just have to face death in peace."

Yuan Yi's smile came from the heart, but Ji Guo Yan Sheng only found it extremely harsh.

That answer was irrelevant to him.

It's like going back to when I was a child, when I asked him how to use such a powerful swordsmanship move, Yuan looked around and said to him, facing the kite and the double six game, as if it was something more important.

They were not the same way from the beginning.

And the young man who is by his side now, who seems to be able to easily see the edge, is also drifting away from him?

"Why didn't your elder brother come together?"

The two of them were already galloping side by side on the road leading to Daigo Country, passing by Mizusawa and stopped for a while to sort out the dry food and water bags on his body, while fetching water, Ji Guoyuan raised this question with a bit of regret .

It's a pity to say that look is not too rigorous.

"Yan Sheng didn't say yes or no that day, but I wanted to find him when we set off. Purgatory Swordsman said that he had already accepted the task and left in a hurry."

Ji Guoyuan nodded silently, subtly not being disappointed.

The long and curly black hair with the touch of red at the tip floats in the wind, gently fluttering along with the reeds in the water.

In fact, Teacher Yuanyi is very similar to Yan Sheng. Yan Sheng may be because he was always unsmiling because of his previous position as a lord, while Teacher Yuanyi is naturally calm about everything.

But to be different, after getting along with Teacher Yuanyi, no matter who you are, you will think that he is an exceptionally gentle person.

Just like now, they have returned to this quiet small village where everything started. When Zero proposed to go to Yuanyi’s previous home to put down his things and clean up the dust from the journey, Ji Guoyuan told him: " In the house where Shi and I used to live, we have already lived in another family."

"Ah...ah?!"

A beautiful fallen leaf blows past the eyes.

Teacher Yuanyi, you are so generous, does Miss Shi know?

Ji Guoyuan thought about it for a while: "That happened when I was hunting ghosts outside. The family I saved had nowhere to go, so I invited him here."

As if he heard what he was thinking, he added: "Poetry is also known."

No wonder, the small house a few steps away is still the same as it used to be. The chopped firewood is piled outside the house, and it is full of life. It looks like daily utensils that are often used.

"Eh...? Is it Mr. Yuanyi? Mr. Yuanyi is back!"

They have all walked to the door of the house, and the new family living in the house naturally found them. The male master carrying a bundle of firewood quickly put down the ax in his hand and the firewood on his back, and greeted his wife in the house with a bundle of firewood in his arms. The children greeted them together.

The greetings of old friends reuniting are naturally unavoidable, Ji Guoyuan is not very good at doing this kind of thing, so he listens more.

Always busy, either hunting ghosts or walking on the way to hunt ghosts, Mr. Yuanyi doesn't think that the short things in the parents are boring.

"Look, when you left last time, Xiao Jin was just born, and now she can call her daddy!"

The young man named Tanji touched his nose in embarrassment, and when he mentioned the child, his warm eyes shone with unparalleled brilliance.

"Ah, hug!" The girl with the little tangle twitched in the arms of Zhu Mizi—Tanji's wife—with round eyes open, and was about to go into Ji Guoyuan's arms. flutter.

Yuanyi didn't refuse, he took Xiaojin quite skillfully, and lifted her over his head like he was treating his own child.

Under the warm sunshine, several people who were not from the same family laughed together.

Standing by the gate, Ling also looked at this warm scene with a smile, and at the same time felt that the scene in front of him had a very strong sense of sight.

He only thinks that there should be the BGM of Lion O King here.

After being put down by Yuanyi, he still stayed in his arms, but the gifted child ate from the bowl and looked at the pot, pulled Teacher Yuanyi's skirt and stretched out his little hand to Ling: "Hold! Hug!" hug!"

Nodding his nose, Zero felt a bit of novelty: "Me?"

Zhu Mizi covered his mouth, and didn't see anything strange coming out of his mouth: "Yeah, Xiaojin likes high places very much. You and Mr. Yuanyi are much taller than Tanji!"

Tanji looked a bit embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, and he had a clear view of his family members.

Hearing what others said, Ling picked up the child like a gentleman.

Before he could hold it high, Xiao Jin blinked at him for a while.

"boom--"

Luckily, he didn't throw the child out, so he sat back and propped himself on the ground, not caring to cover his own spot that was about to swell, and hurriedly looked at the forehead of Xiao Jin who was currently riding on his chest——

Well?What's the matter, is he dazzled?

Or Newton's coffin can't hold it down anymore, and the effects of forces in this world are not mutual?

Xiao Jin, who was still babbling and laughing, had a smooth forehead, and her eyes were full of puzzlement at his sudden fall.

"Xiao Jin, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zero!" Tanji hugged his daughter back in a hurry, and said in a guilty voice: "Xiao Jin always likes to play forehead games with me...I have to apologize too! I'm sorry ! Mr. Zero!"

...the culprit has been found.

Mr. Tankichi who is holding Sumire, the heads of you and your child are really not something that others can bear!

"No, it's okay, as long as the child is okay." With tears in his eyes, Zero rubbed the place where he was still in pain, facing Tanji who sincerely apologized, and said this kind of thing about visiting relatives and friends very sadly. What adults should say to children.

But Xiao Jin was not the kind of heartless child, she looked around with her big eyes, and seemed to understand what she had done wrong.

Using her small arms and legs, she crawled down from Tanji's arms, stumbled but walked over firmly, tugging at Ling's sleeves: "Woo——Uncle, I'm sorry!"

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Seemingly hearing a belated soft laugh, Zero raised his head and looked over——

Ji Guoyuan looked at him innocently, as if he was not the one who smiled just now as if he saw his brother.

...All right, you are a teacher, whatever you do is right.

After such a fuss, it was time for dinner.

Cooking smoke rises, engulfed by curling heat, steaming and indistinguishable from the clouds in the sky.

"Well, Teacher Yuanyi, why don't you come to see me tomorrow morning?" Seeing Tanji and his wife busy in the kitchen, Ling whispered to Ji Guoyuan, "Talk to Mr. Tanji for me, I'm going to Meixu's place first."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Yuan Yi didn't understand his movements, but he didn't stop him, "If you're really in a hurry, I'll go with you too."

Even if he returned to the relatively safe territory of the Shitou family, Yoshizai Miyashiki, despite all his illnesses, did not forget to arrange for him to have a few days of leisure to revisit Mr. Yuanyi's old place, and at the same time In order to ask Hyakkimaru, who has been absent from work for more than a month, to come back and continue working together.

"No, it's very close and Hyakkimaru is here, I'm going back... to catch up with them."

Hearing that he was evading like this, Ji Guoyuan couldn't continue, so he thought about it and followed his wish, with a gentle and flat tone: "Well, also help me and Shi, and say hello to Miss Meixu. "

In order not to disturb the Tanji couple who were enthusiastically preparing dinner to entertain them inside, they turned over the fence and crossed the zero, with their backs behind their backs and Yuan waved as a response.

Tanji, who seemed to have sensed something, opened the door and looked out: "Eh? Where did Mr. Zero go?"

"He and Miss Mio are old acquaintances, so I went to Miss Meio's first."

"Speaking of which, this village was also built with his support." Yuanyi didn't know why he suddenly talked to Tanji about the past, "He once served as the lord of this territory , the current lord is his elder brother."

"Eh, eh?!" Tanji was a little shocked, and after regaining his senses, he wiped his hands on the front of his shirt, "Then it's time to get Mr. Zero back! I haven't even been able to treat him properly—Xiao Jin is still like this naughty!"

"No need." Yuanyi slowly shook his head, "He doesn't care about these things."

Tanji looked back with disapproving eyes: "You are the savior of me and Zhu Mizi, if it is true as you said, we also need to thank Mr. Ling - after all, it is because of him that we can have the life we ​​have now ah!"

He wanted to chase after him, but Yuanyi pointed to the horse tied outside the door: "We came here on horseback, and he should have walked to the rice field by now."

"...Then tomorrow! Tomorrow, please invite Mr. Zero to your home! Be sure to let us treat you well!"

After saying this sentence, Tanji was a little curious again.

"However, it seems that I have never heard you say these things. What is Mr. Zero doing all these years? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Tanji, whose eyes are as penetrating as Ji Guoyuanyi, seems to always be able to see some premonitions, and there is a sense of worry in his tone.

Ji Guoyuan looked at the setting sun that was about to end in the sky, and lowered his eyes.

"Probably come, let's say goodbye."
