the world

The 30-second countdown just ended after the rabbit mask raised his arms and shouted, and the three disappeared in place.

"It seems right to say goodbye in advance." Taki Ruoye got up and left the empty room.

"Yakiri Hasebe, they're gone?" Liu Yu saw the rabbit mask rampaging in the general's mansion on the road, and naturally understood that she was here to pick up Yakiri Hasebe and Dadian Taiguangshi back, "Already gone, It's a rush, but the day always comes."

"..." Hyakkimaru observed Taki Wakaba's expression, after he regained his eyes, his expression seemed much more agile.

"There will always be such a day." Taki Wakaba patted Hyakkimaru's head, "Is Hyakkimaru reluctant to part with them?"

"Both Hasebe and Mitsuyo Ohori are very good people."

"General." Shou Hai walked over, "The "Wu Family Laws" mentioned earlier has been drafted."

As he said, he presented a stack of documents, Taki Wakaha took it, and instead of flipping through it, gave it to Hyakkimaru, "Hyakkimaru, first see what you want to say."

Hyakkimaru accepted the document.

"General, Bai Die and Hu Ji were asking for an interview outside, so I brought them here." Seeing Taki Ruoye, Xi Mang hurried over, followed by Bai Die and Hu Ji.

"Hearding that Lady Tianzhi has been awarded the title of Great General Zhengyi, we both have to come and celebrate." Baidie said after saluting.

"Have you traveled a lot? Just stay in Kyoto these few days, and I will reimburse you for shopping." Taki Ruoye also had a smile on his face.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you General." Baidie said, "During this period of time, we have visited many places we want to go, and the scenery in each place has its own characteristics and fun."

"We just heard Mr. Simao talk about overseas affairs, which is really refreshing." Hu Ji said.

"Simang is our country's diplomatic advisor and trade officer. If you are willing, you can go to sea with him next time." Taki Ruoye turned to Simao, "You have to protect them."

"The sea is more dangerous than the general's territory...if the ladies like it, they are willing to do it."

Seeing everyone gathered, Lian Haidu also walked over. A stubble of hair had already grown on his head, and it was the time when it was strange how to comb it.

Behind him was Adi who couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahahaha, Lian Haidu, your appearance is too ridiculous."

Adi had just stayed in Yishui for a while, and Lianhaidu's appearance had a greater impact on her. She smiled and said, "Have you finally returned to vulgarity? That's right, Lady Tianzhi has been suppressing the bald donkey recently." Bar?"

"I told you I'm going to call the general now!" Lian Haidu responded impatiently.

After laughing, Adi immediately corrected his expression when he saw Taki Ruoye, "General, Bandai is a little restless in Yishui. I can't deal with her, so I came to you."

"What's up with her?"

"Just calling your name all day long, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, it's like going crazy. If I didn't stop you, she would probably want to drag her huge body to the capital."

"I haven't been back to Yishui for a long time. I'll visit again in a few days."

Seeing Adi's expression, Taki Ruoye knew that she didn't want to work and wanted to stay in Kyoto to play, but she didn't tell her, "Shouhai, come with me to Yishui."

"Yes!"

A few days later, Taki Wakaba and Shoukai returned to Yishui, and Mio and others were waiting to welcome Taki Wakaba back.

"I haven't lived in this mansion since I moved to Shancheng, and I miss it very much." Mio wiped the floor until it was spotless.

This mansion was originally given to Liu Yu when he was promoted to a retainer by the Lord of Isui, and they lived here for several years until Taki Wakaba became the daimyo of Isui.

"Pipawan? When did you come?" Ziye saw Pipawan sitting on the corridor, he was sitting on this corridor just like many years ago, with the tea that Mio made for him beside him, "Didn't you just bid farewell after the Heavenly Wisdom Lady conquered the capital?"

"Haha." Pipamaru let out a hoarse laugh, "Seeing that the karma of Hyakkimaru has come to an end, and the woman of heavenly knowledge captured the capital, I don't think there is any need to watch it anymore, everything is a foregone conclusion."

"Then you knew that Lady Tianzhi would come back, so you waited for her here?" After so many years, Dororo has grown into a young girl, and she is curiously leaning towards Pipawan.

"After all, she is a member of the world now, and I want to see the people of the world too, old man."

"Why don't you meet in Kyoto? We will also move to Kyoto in the future." Shingo was already looking forward to this day.

"Pipawan is different from us, it's a wild crane." Mio laughed.

"I'm so happy." Sang Nu looked up at the sky, "The era of peace has finally come, I never thought I could see this day. Shingo, although your father can't come back, but you can live in a place where you don't have to worry about precarity." years of growth."

"The girl of heaven... the girl of heaven... the girl of heaven!"

Bandai underground suddenly started commotion again, protruding from the ground and roaring.

"Pipa Wan! Wandai her!" Mio hurriedly called Pipa Wan.

"She's back." Pipawan didn't move, just said something.

Wan Dai's movements were extremely fast, her entire body emerged from the ground, revealing her ugly body, and rushed outside.

"Heavenly Wisdom Girl! Since you want to abandon me, why did you keep me in the first place! Come back! I have been waiting for you to come back! Waiting for you to see me!"

"What did you say to abandon you, it's just that you haven't returned to Yishui for a while." Taki Ruoye replied.

When Bandai saw Taki Wakaba, he wanted to rush over but didn't dare, "Why? Why can't I stay by your side? Why can they?!"

"Bandai, where do you want to go?" Taki Wakaba didn't answer her question.

"...You can't use me anymore? Yes, you have already won the world."

Bandai actually started to cry, the mimicry of her tail was numb, and it was her body that was crying, and she had no time to control her mimicry.Her ugly body trembled, and tears rolled down from her wrinkled eyes: "Since you will abandon me one day, why make me so obsessed with you?"

"I'm not polite to you, it can even be said to be harsh."

"But in the end, you asked me 'where do you want to go' instead of executing me. I hate your tenderness. In the end, you didn't become a ghost as I wished. Your strength is not only you Your strength, and your unwavering heart."

"You and I have made a covenant that cannot be broken in this lifetime. Even if you are set free, you will not be able to harm anyone. Let me ask you one last time, where do you want to go?"

Wandai looked at Taki Wakaba fixedly, she knew that if she didn't give an answer, Taki Wakaba would never care about her again.

"I don't want to be a ghost anymore." After Wan Dai said this, he committed suicide in front of Taki Wakaba.

"...It will really cause me trouble." Taki Ruoha sighed, she lifted Wandai's broken and wriggling body, cut her fingertips with her nails, and dripped blood, "Since I don't want to be a ghost, this The returned body is more like a human being."

Bandai's body began to grow rapidly, and the resulting body was much smaller than before. It turned into a human woman that was exactly the same as the previous tail mimicry, and shed its huge and ugly body.

"With your current appearance, you can already walk into the crowd and learn about human thinking and behavior." Taki Wakaba said.

Bandai moved his legs unaccustomed, using his five-fingered palm like a human.

Pipamaru gave a low laugh. In his eyes, the red color on Wandai's body faded and turned into innocent white: "Evil thoughts recede, and ghosts and gods no longer exist. Wandai didn't turn Tianzhi women into ghosts and gods, but Tianzhi But the woman makes ten thousand generations no longer ghosts and gods."

Wanda was stunned for a while, and suddenly her head was close to Taki Wakaba's cheek, Taki Wakaba turned her face away, and Wan Dai kissed Taki Wakaba's hair.

"What do you want?" Taki Ruoye asked.

"Your lips are very attractive, I want to kiss you." Bandai said frankly.

"..."

"I want to take off your clothes, see your beautiful skin, and hug you."

"..."

The first thing Bandai encountered after he took over the human form was being beaten by Taki Wakaba.

"It's scary." Dororo murmured, "Mother, what should I do when I meet such a person?"

"..." Ziye stared at Wandai, who was getting more and more excited, "Don't hit her, she will feel good."

After dealing with Bandai's matter, Taki Wakaba and Shou Kai did not return to Kyoto immediately, but embarked on another path.

"I still remember that we met here." Taki Ruoye said.

The wooden house in front of the two was more dilapidated than in memory, but it still retained its previous appearance.

Shou Hai walked to the back of the wooden house. The plain where Taki Wakaba buried the dead soldiers' bodies no longer looked like it did back then.The bare land was covered by green vegetation. No one would have imagined that this was once a tragic battlefield.

"It was here that the general erected a tombstone without words, and that's why I made up my mind to follow the general."

The tombstone is long gone, but Shouhai still clearly remembers its location, "It's not just me who has been redeemed..."

Taki Wakaba thought of the moment when she woke up in this world, and the hug that held her, "At the very beginning, I wanted to find someone."

"Who is that person? Why didn't the general look for it?"

"I can't find him in this world."

"Is he also a fairy?"

"I don't know what he will look like the next time I see him."

"...Thank you, Lady Tianzhi." Shouhai looked towards the jungle, "I hope you can find that person in the future."

"Hopefully."

"I'm so happy." Shouhai said to himself, "I feel very happy just standing here at this moment. General...Miss Tianzhi, you have brought everything to us, so you can go away at ease."

"Is it okay?"

"That child...Hyakkimaru is already able to take charge of his own affairs, he has inherited everything you taught him." Shoukai's voice trembled, "Even if you say that, it seems like it's against my feelings, and I can't bear you but it is so comforting to know that people like you will not die. Others may not know, but I am the one who has followed you the longest, so I can say this discourse."

"Not so fast yet." Taki Wakaba smiled, "It's a pleasure meeting you all, I'm not cutting Hasebe and Odeno Taimitsu, I still have time to say goodbye."

In the next few years, Taki Wakaba was diligent in government affairs, promulgated laws and regulations, launched diplomacy, established a new system, and rectified the land under his jurisdiction.

In view of the experience of the collapse of the Ashikaga shogunate, Taki Wakaba further strengthened the centralization of power and concentrated power in the shogunate.

While thinking about the daimyo of his subordinates, Taki Wakaba chuckled while writing the scriptures.

"What's wrong?" Hyakkimaru asked.

"I just think that the laws I have written and enacted will be overturned sooner or later."

"Your law is written based on the experience of predecessors. If it is overturned, it will overturn everything before."

"Yes, Yakiri Hasebe said what the era we live in will be called... feudalism in later generations. Hundreds of years later, this world will undergo earth-shaking changes."

"What we do now will become one of the cornerstones of future generations."

"Hyakkimaru." Taki Wakaba solemnly called Hyakkimaru's name, and Hyakkimaru then knelt down in front of Taki Wakaba, "Can I hand over this world to you?"

"Yes, General."

Hyakkimaru stood up, hugged Taki Wakaba, and buried his head on her shoulder, "...Mom, are you leaving?"

"Correct."

"...I can't imagine the day when my mother left me. You never left me. But...if I begged you to stay, let you watch me grow old and die, and the people around me one by one It’s all gone, isn’t that just satisfying our wishes? It’s enough, mother, what you have done for me is enough. I am very happy now, and everyone is very happy.”

Hyakkimaru turned around and took out a lacquer box, "Everyone has prepared this a long time ago. If you want to leave, at least bring something with you."

In the center of the lacquer box is a set of exquisite priestess costumes. It is a textile work assembled by Sangnu with the highest technology in the country.

"Take it away." Hyakkimaru removed the demon sword Nichiru from his waist, and the demon sword Nichiru felt the move and trembled excitedly, "It is the same as Bandai, it must be you, but it is just an item, You can take it away. If you take it away, there will be no more ghosts and gods in this world."

Taki Wakaba took over the demon sword Nizhi, she changed into a priestess costume, and packed her luggage.

"Hyakkimaru, I am very glad that you are the first person I met in this world. What you have brought to me and what you have done for me are equally precious to me." Taki Wakaba showed a pure heart Smile, "Goodbye, Hyakkimaru."

"In this world, there are no more ghosts and gods."

Hyakkimaru stood there for a long time before walking out of the room.

Outside the door was a weeping Liu Yu, who could no longer care about his face and shed tears.

"...You really like your mother."

"How could it be possible to say that you don't like it if you don't like it? Besides, I didn't say I didn't like it anymore." Liu Yu didn't even care about the honorific title.

"..." Lian Haidu's expression had never been so deep, "This way... that's fine."

"Although mother is smiling, she just wants us to feel at ease. How could I not know." Hyakkimaru said, "The name of Bawang Taki Wakaba will always stay in this world."

Liu Yu nodded.

"..." Hyakkimaru suddenly sighed again.

"what happened?"

"I'm just thinking about how future generations will arrange this period of history. Almost all of General Taki's servants are bachelors."

"..." Liu Yu was silent, but Lian Haidu said, "How about you go first, general? Miss Meixu or Miss Dororo, which one does the general prefer?"

"..."

"Hahaha, I'll just laugh at you this time, General." Lian Haidu laughed out loud, and he restrained his smile, kneeling down towards Baiguiwan, "I once swore loyalty to Tianzhinv and gave her everything I have. , now, this loyalty is completely dedicated to you."

"...When did Lianhaidu become so pretentious?" Liu Yu felt that Lianhaidu's behavior was unusual, "Everyone must think so, you have to show it. If you are sentimental, just—"

"Liu Yu, are you crying and talking hard?"

Hearing the rare arguments between the two, Hyakkimaru laughed.

"Everyone thinks so. Next, it will be our era."
