After I confessed to 5t5

Yoshiyuki Tomioka occasionally dreams.

Dream about people who are no longer there.

Those dreams are different every time, but they are all the same. No matter what kind of beginning, they will end in the wet and cold air in the middle of the night, waking up from the fictional plot and returning to reality.

Among the relics brought by [Yin], there is only a broken sun wheel knife and a broken disaster-dispelling fox mask that Lintaki gave her before she left.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki still remembers that he had a nightmare that night, and the same scene was in the dream.

After waking up, I looked at the cold room, got up and walked out of the room. I didn't realize it was not a dream until I saw the small mound with the half sun knife inserted.

If no body was found, the fox face could only be buried instead of her.

Makoto was crying for several days in a row. Although Satoshi looked the same as usual, his breathing was messed up during practice. After all, they had been taken care of by her since they were adopted.

I have lost enough, and it is understandable that I cannot accept it now.

But even if you can't accept it, you have to accept it.

Ghosts never give them a choice.

So all they can do is to pick up the sun wheel sword in their hands and kill more ghosts. One day, they will surely kill Kiwu Tsujimu under the sword and end the suffering of all people who have been victimized by ghosts.

After that day, Yoshiyuki Tomioka rarely dreamed, but he still had dreams sometimes.

The girl in the dream was wearing a familiar haori, just like the first time she met, touching his hair gently and patiently, comforting him with a soft voice saying "Giyu has worked very hard".

No, he wasn't trying hard enough.

Just relying on the current situation is not enough to defeat the enemy.

But Tomioka Yoshiyuki still couldn't help but relax in such a dream, giving his tense nerves a chance to breathe.

He doesn't hate this kind of dream, but from time to time he will question whether he is qualified to relax like this in the dream of having a girl, but every time she will tell him [it's okay, just sleep well].

So in the dream he was more easily tired than in reality, after relaxing, it was already morning when he opened his eyes again.

This is the first time that she talked so much to herself in a dream.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked at the girl in front of him in confusion.

She didn't seem to be any different from before she left that day. If it was different, it might be that Haori had changed into different clothes, and her figure was more mature than before.

It was his subconscious mind that after so many years, if she was still alive, she should have grown up a lot.

It turned out to be the case.

Truth found that Tomioka Yoshiyuki was silent for a moment, as if he had convinced himself of something.

He didn't speak, and the truth didn't know what he was thinking, only the strange statement before as a clue.

"What dream is too long?" she asked.

I always feel that the timeline of this world is too fast, and something happened after she left for too long, so that she can't understand what her junior and junior are thinking at all, and it is difficult to communicate.

"It's nothing." Tomioka Yoshiyuki saw the haori on her body. The original blue haori had been stained red by the blood of the previous dead, and it was quite eye-catching on her body.

Not even in a dream.

He thought, turned around and took the lead.

"Let's go."

Truth originally wanted to ask where she was going, but now Yiyong always felt that she didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask any more questions, and followed directly.

It didn't take long for her to see the town, and she quickly took off her feathers before she walked to a place where people lived, so as not to scare others with blood all over her body. She was wearing a navy uniform underneath, and the white one was not stained with red at all. .

Tomioka Yoshiyuki noticed her movements, slowed down a bit, and said something inexplicably: "...like a real person."

truth:?

Then Yoshiyuki Tomioka took her to the hotel so that she could freshen up there.

There was a lot of dust in the forest. After Truth cleaned herself, as soon as she came out, she saw Yoshiyuki Tomioka by the side of the barrel, cleaning the blood on the haori for her.

Only at this time did Truth realize belatedly, why the haori on his body is so familiar.

"Yiyong?" Truth asked subtly, "Did you cut my feathers?"

The young man who was still rubbing the haori seriously stopped when he heard the words, all the words before did not make him react, but such a common question made him uneasy.

"Feel sorry."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka suddenly apologized.

"Eh?" Truth thought he felt guilty for cutting his own feathers, and quickly said, "It's nothing, it's useless to leave it anyway."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki didn't know which part of her words he agreed with: "It's really useless."

truth:……

Don't you need to say that?After all, she quite likes her haori.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the blue haori in his hand, which had almost been washed with blood, thinking that if he could be more useful, he would be able to participate in the final selection with her at that time, and she might not die in that case.

He is really useless.

While the haori was drying, they went to have dinner.

Putting on the dried haori early the next morning, Truth was ready to follow Tomioka Giyuu back to Sagiri Mountain.

He seemed to have nothing else to do for the time being, and after she asked to see Master Rinaki, he nodded, indicating that he could send her there.

Although Giyuu is a bit difficult to communicate with when he grows up, he is still a considerate person.

Truth couldn't help but think so.

It’s not that far from here to Sagiri Mountain, and it’s not that close. The journey alone takes about three days. During this period, Truth needs to return to Honmaru to arrange battles from time to time. After confirming that this is the world she was looking for, she also went to the Navy. Temporarily asked for leave.

But I don't know why, Tomioka Yoshiyuki adapted well to the fact that she would leave here occasionally, and then couldn't find anyone for a period of time. He didn't even ask where she went during the whole process.

Every time she came back, Tomioka Yoshiyuki would quietly lean against the tree, and wait for her to come back before starting on the road.

It's normal for her to disappear suddenly, and she doesn't seem surprised.

I also encountered some ghosts on the road, and Tomioka Yoshiyuki was there, so she didn't need to do it herself.

Every time after killing a ghost, Yoshiyuki Tomioka would look at his Japanese sword and mutter in ecstasy: "...it feels like the real thing."

truth:"?"

During the years when she was not around, the younger brother seemed to become more and more incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Master Linlong is normal.

After returning to Sawu Mountain, everything became very familiar. After all, it was the place where Truth lived for two years. She recognized the small house at a glance, and she couldn't help running quickly before she saw anyone. past.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was far behind, and unlike her eagerness, he looked quite calm.

When they arrived, Zuo Jinji was chopping firewood.

All the apprentices have already joined the Demon Killing Squad, and there is usually only Rin Taki Zuo Kinji living here alone. There are no other disciples for the time being, and life is relatively cold, but he is used to it.

"Master Lintaki!"

The voice reached his ears first, and then he raised his head to see who was coming.

As soon as she saw who was coming, the ax in her hand involuntarily let go and fell to the ground. There were scattered firewood everywhere on the ground, but the girl avoided it nimbly and stretched out her hand to him.

Fell into his arms as before.

Ryotaki Sakinji almost caught the person in a daze, with the temperature of a human being, and it is daytime and it is impossible to be a ghost, so he turned his attention to Tomioka Yoshiyuki who was walking a step behind.

Tomioka Giyuu, who received the old man's gaze, was expressionless, and nothing could be seen from his face.

But he didn't deny it, which means...

Until this time, Rinaki Zuojinji's hands trembled slightly.

No matter how well he concealed it in front of his disciples, the loss of the child who was regarded as his family still caused him considerable harm. He blamed himself all the time, but he had to be unwavering in front of other children.

Because once he was too sad, the other children would be even more sad.

Truth felt the hands lightly tightening around her, and Lin Taki hugged her for the first time, but her usually tough body trembled a little at this moment.

Those hands stroked her hair, and the old man said softly, "It's good to be back."

She hugged him back and nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

After entering the house, Rinaki Zuojin poured hot tea for them to warm up for the first time, and Truth also briefly talked about what she encountered, from encountering a hand ghost to waking up in another strange place after coma.

Skipping the unexplainable part about the government of time, the truth said that he has been living in another place, and found the family he thought he would never see again. road.

Ryotaki Sakinji has been listening quietly, the most important thing for him is that people are okay.

As long as you are still alive.

Truth knelt down on the tatami, watched Ryotaki Zuojin stand up again.

He walked into the inner room, heard the sound as if he had opened the drawer of the cabinet, and he came back after a while, holding a mask in his hand.

It was the same disaster-dispelling fox mask as the one she had worn before.

Truth took it and carefully put it on for herself.

Lin Taki Zuo slightly adjusted the position of the fox mask that was worn on her head for her last time. Truth sat on the spot obediently. When the master pulled away and left, he smiled and said, "Maybe it is the fox mask of the master who protected me."

Lin Takizuo had killed countless ghosts recently, and it was impossible to remember every ghost, but even so, he could sense from the little details that the girl deliberately concealed that the ghost on Fujiji Mountain was probably Chong. Follow him.

And the fox face he delivered to his disciples became the basis for ghosts to distinguish their targets.

How kind is this child to say such a thing? He was obviously implicated by him, and he was almost killed by a ghost.

Ryotaki Zuo couldn't speak for the last time, he just patted her head.

"I'll write to Sabitaki and Mako, they'll be glad to know you're fine," Rinaki Sakumo said.

This is also the reason why Truth wants to find this world and come back, and wants to report everyone's safety no matter what.

Truth said: "Master Lindaki, can I write a letter to them too?"

Rinaki Zuo's voice under the mask was kind and gentle: "Of course."

After he got the pen and stationery, Truth began to worry about what kind of opening statement to use.

When the girl was seriously writing the letter, Ryodaki Sakonji couldn't help looking at Yoshiyuki Tomioka who was always sitting by the side without saying a word.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka should be the happiest among them that Rinaki Sakuchi thought that Truth was still alive for the first time.

After all, when this child was adopted in the first place, only she, who was cheerful by nature, could brave the negative attitude at that time, no matter how depressed he was, she would still treat him with the most cheerful attitude.

They should be on good terms.

Ryotaki Zuo Jinji didn't understand why Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked so bitter and bitter on his face at this time.

"Yiyong, come here with me." Lin Taki made a deep voice for the first time, and called him out alone.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was sitting upright, finally moved at this moment, he stood up and followed out.

Noticing their movement, Truth raised her head and saw them going out one after the other. She raised her hand and touched the disaster-dispelling fox noodles made by Master Linlong. The force was put back on the letter paper.

Ryotaki Zuo Kinji outside the door asked directly: "Is there any sequelae in her body?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki probably didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he was taken aback.

Under Lin Takizuo's more serious attitude recently, he shook his head and said, "No, Senior Sister looks fine."

That Lintaki didn't understand the last time.

"...Are you not happy that the truth is still alive?"

When Truth finished writing the letter and came out, she heard Master Rinaki ask such a question to Yiyong, so her steps stopped involuntarily.

In fact, Truth really wanted to know how Giyuu would respond.

At the beginning, she was very happy to reunite with the younger brother whom he had been taking care of, but Tomioka Yoshiyuki couldn't stand his cold attitude. Although he would listen to what she said and do it, but other than that, he almost regarded her as someone along the way. Air.

Even if you try to convince yourself that many years have passed in this world, and it is normal for the relationship to be estranged, it will inevitably be frustrating.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the ground with eyes as silent as stagnant water, and said calmly: "...There is nothing to be happy about."

It's just a dream.

If it is a dream, there will be a time to wake up, this time it is only a little more real than usual, and a dream that is too good will make people weak, Tomioka Yoshiyuki does not want to indulge himself in fictional fantasies.

Once you have experienced the beauty of your dreams, you will feel an equal amount of emptiness when you wake up.

"I don't like this kind of thing." Tomioka Yoshiyuki said.

"..."

Quietly listening to the truth in the corner, she touched the wooden knife in Master Rinaki's room for newcomer disciples. She stepped out of the room and asked Rinaki Zuojin, who had been silent since just now, for advice.

"Master Lintaki, can I hit him?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka:?
