The Tale of Genji

01

Matou Sakura has always known that there are actually many choices in her own life.

And the different choices she makes will create different futures.

After becoming a Heroic Spirit, this kind of cognition is more accurate—Matou Sakura on the Heroic Spirit Seat is a collection born after all the possibilities of the individual "Matou Sakura" have been closed,? In essence, she is no longer alone Individual,? But a blend of countless possibilities.

Countless "Matou Sakura", the same birth and the same experience-and then at a certain point,? To a different future.

The previous sameness cannot be changed under the affirmation of the world, and their futures are different.

When they met the white-haired samurai, their fate went to different futures because of their different choices.

Some Matou Sakura stayed with Ozaki Hongye, was brought up by her, received her education, and then succeeded her as the leader of Hong Kong Black.

Some Sakura Matou was sent to Genji, accepted the resources and training of this huge family, and became the strongest onmyoji in the world.

Some Matou Sakura left with Minamoto Raimitsu, but stayed in the Government of Time, working for another man, and finally led the God Judge and Token Fusangshin to completely wipe out the time retrograde army.

There is also Matou Sakura...following Minamoto Raimitsu to a thousand years ago.

She became Genji's miko.

Accepting the call this time, it is this aspect that appears in the world.

Matou Sakura as the Genji Priestess.

Because of the love of the head of the family, he also got the surname "Gen", so he can also be called Yuan Ying.

In Genji's millennium history, there is no doubt that she is the top priestess. According to Genji's records, she was brought back from the outside by the head of the family at that time, Minamoto Raimitsu, and she was very fond of——

After Minamoto Raimitsu died, she became the leader of the shrine maiden at that time.

There are many romantic rumors with Guanghua Gongzi Guanghua, and in later generations, she is almost regarded as Guanghua Gongzi's spiritual lover... But in fact, it is just two pathetic guys who have lost the person they love and miss. Just someone.

"After you left... the time has become very long."

"Sometimes I also think about the spring we walked together... If it was a lifetime, it would be fine."

Accompanied by such a sigh, a beautiful figure appeared in the summoning circle.

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened. It was a very strange voice and a very strange tone... For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and tears seemed to flow from her eyes.

She did indeed cry, after seeing clearly the face of the heroic spirit she had summoned.

The master can see the attributes of the heroic spirit.

So Tohsaka Rin saw the name of this purple-haired girl in witch costume——

Her name is Matou Sakura.

I really want to say that this is just a coincidence. It is just a coincidence that she has the same name as her younger sister who disappeared at a young age. It is only a coincidence that she looks similar to her... Ahhh, if this is really just a coincidence How wonderful it would be.

I am just a sister who is tortured day and night by guilt and longing for her sister.

Tohsaka Rin thought, how can I convince myself, let myself be a blind man who turns a blind eye, and say to myself, isn't this Sakura?

Can't do it.

This kind of thing... really can't be done.

Tohsaka Rin couldn't do such a thing.

So she could only rush forward with tears all over her face, hugged her younger sister who had become a heroic spirit, and called her with sobs: "Sakura."

02

Matou Sakura still remembers her—her own sister, Tohsaka Rin.

Although I didn't remember this incident when I was alive - I was too stimulated in the worm warehouse of Matou's house, and I subconsciously forgot the previous memory after being rescued - but after death, after becoming a heroic spirit After that, all these things came to mind.

From this point of view, Heroic Spirit's memory is too good, and he can even remember some trivial things.

It's like when they were young, the things they did together, the words they said, the promises they made...all are vivid in my memory.

When she didn't think about it, Matou Ying could not care about this elder sister, but after thinking about it... the friendship between sisters, even after such a long time, still exists.

So she didn't push Rin Tohsaka who rushed forward, but opened her arms and hugged him.

Is there anything you want to say?

Of course there are, but to the heart of the matter... I feel that it is better not to say it.

"It's been too long... I have nothing to say." Matou Sakura replied when Tohsaka Rin asked why you didn't speak.

As a result, the eyes of the black-haired girl with double ponytails had water vapor again, but this time she didn't cry out, but bit her lower lip, tried hard to control her emotions, and said, "Back then... Your home is gone, where did you go?"

Jian Tongying thought for a while, and said: "I met a very good person, he took me away from Jian Tong's house..."

Tohsaka Rin: "What happened to you again, you became a heroic spirit... Did you go through any sad things?"

Heroic spirits are the existences of heroes whose great achievements are left as legends after death and have become objects of belief-and in Tohsaka Rin's impression, few people of this type can have good results, more or less There will be so few unforgettable sad things.

And, and—

Heroic spirits are dead!

Tohsaka Rin almost didn't dare to think about it anymore. Her sister, her most cherished sister, is she so young... already dead?

03

Tohsaka Rin's guess was of course wrong.

When Matou Sakura died, although she was not yet eighty years old, she was already over sixty--at that time, this was already within the scope of longevity.Her death was not due to illness or injury, but just the most ordinary life span.

My lifespan is up, so I die—that's all.

This is already the ending that many people dreamed of in the Heian era.

"In my whole life...in fact, I haven't suffered much." When asked about her life experience, the look on Matou Ying's face is nostalgic, the color of nostalgia and reluctance, as long as she is not blind, she will not see it. less than.Her smile is also very sweet, it is a smile that only those who have truly experienced happiness will show. "I had a good life when I was young, and then I went to Matou's house..."

"It was only at that moment that I suffered a little, and soon met the Patriarch."

Tohsaka Rin: "Is that the one who saved you?"

"Yes." Matou Ying said, "Master Patriarch rescued me from Matou's house... He wanted to send me back home at the beginning." She lowered her eyelashes and did not look far away. Ban Rin's expression continued, "It's just that I had forgotten everything about the past at that time, and I still didn't want to leave him... and I cried a lot."

"Master Patriarch couldn't screw me, so he took me back."

And then what happened?

Oh, she became a miko who was brought back by the head of the house.Because it was brought back by the head of the family, and the talent itself is high enough, it has become a key training object.

The little girl who is still ignorant does not understand the changes in the environment around her, she only knows to hold on to someone tightly and not let go—seeing that the dependent person is injured and vomits blood, the only thing she can do is to hold back her tears and not cry out , don't disturb the Patriarch.

So later, when she was studying the maiden homework, she was very serious, and she would spend [-]% of her energy on everything. She only hoped that she would become a teacher soon so that she could help the Patriarch.

At that time, Guangyuan really hated her, hated her being brought back from the outside by the Patriarch, hated her being raised by the Patriarch...but later, he could only sit with her and miss the past.

Kagura left too early. She was originally a priestess with outstanding spiritual power. The unqualified supernatural power crystal saved her life in the belly of Yamata no Orochi, but it also greatly damaged her health.After marrying Minamoto Hiroya and raising their children for more than ten years, Kagura has already left.

Without Kagura, Yuan Boya lost half of her energy and spirit, and the decline was severe.

Matou Sakura also fully took over the work in Yuan Boya's hands, and became Genji's spokesperson in Yinyang Dao.

She and Guangyuan's... two people, unexpectedly came to the end like this.

I am looking for the shadow of the Patriarch in you, and you are looking for the shining points in me that I am valued by the Patriarch, and try to live like the Patriarch.

Tohsaka Rin knew that she was dreaming, otherwise she would not have seen such a building, such a scenery... and her sister in a witch costume.

The purple-haired maiden knelt in the courtyard and made tea. The cherry blossom tree was full of flowers, and the cherry blossoms fluttered and fluttered non-stop.The sky was sunny and blue, and with such a scenery, it was just like a dream.

What's more, there is that noble young man who is walking slowly——

How can there be such beauty in the world?Such a beautiful landscape will also be dimmed in front of his beauty.Tohsaka Rin didn't hold back and wavered for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly looked at Matou Sakura, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the quiet face of the purple-haired priestess.

Then she heard the grown up Sakura say, "Where does the Patriarch come from?"

The moment Matou Sakura raised her eyes, everything fell apart.

After some whirlwinds, the scenery was still the same, but the person sitting there was changed.

It was a white-haired samurai with long hair flowing on his shoulders and back. The red streak on his forehead echoed the color of his eyes, and he had a dignified and noble temperament at a glance.He was sitting in Matou Sakura's place, and he was also making tea, but he was not interested in the cherry blossoms falling from the book, not as gentle as Matou Sakura——

But Matou Sakura also really likes these cherry blossoms.

The girl, who uses the description of a cheerful bird, ran over cheerfully, took a sip of the tea prepared for her by the white-haired samurai, and hugged the young man's arm with a bright smile, hugging him intimately, happy Said: "Patriarch, I was praised by the senior again today!"

"Senior said, I only need two more years to get rid of the demon alone, and I will be able to help you soon!"

05

"I was born... too late, and my talent is too stupid." The purple-haired witch murmured, "If I can grow up, if I can be smarter... Will I be able to help the Patriarch? gone?"

These are just hypotheses, and Matou Sakura knows it... But it is always inevitable to assume in this life, it is inevitable to think about these.

Matou Sakura has always hoped to help Kamimoto Raimitsu.

But in the end she couldn't do anything.

So this became the nightmare of Matou Sakura's life.

06

"Don't worry, sister." The purple-haired witch smiled softly, but her tone was firm, "I will definitely win for you."

"I won't have a second failure."

The author has something to say: a little fragment.

Miko Sakura's branch is very sad, because Guangmei quickly left everything behind and died, so the ones left behind are...
