It's Auntie Benmaru!

……

With Ghost not around, Tianqing had no way of knowing how long she had been unconscious.

It's just that after getting off the bed, the feeling of sweat sticking to the clothes on her body became more and more clear, and she vaguely smelled the sweat on her body, so she took the replacement clothes from the bag and walked to the open-air bathing area of ​​the hotel alone.

The night is gradually falling, the warm yellow that I saw when I woke up just now has faded, and the sky is full of purple and blue colors. Fortunately, the hotel that Guiqie chose seems to be of relatively good quality, and the walk from the room to the bathing area There are lit lanterns along the way, and the little monsters living in the hotel are kind and harmless.

"...There is a women's bath in front of me. It happens that there are not many guests in the hotel at this time. Today, all the guests except you have washed, so we cleaned the bath just now, and no staff will come in to disturb you. You can use it as you like."

The lady proprietress of the hotel said with a kind smile, while raising her hand to lift the curtain in front of the bathroom door to let Tianqing in.

"If you want to have dinner after bathing, you can tell the receptionist. Although your guards have refused in the past few days, I don't think he is with you today. If you are hungry, no matter how late, we can still let our daughter Prepare some simple food for you."

"Thank you, I will call you if necessary."

Tianqing smiled politely, and was about to take the opportunity to enter the bathing place, but felt that the proprietress seemed to have something to say—the eyes were fixed on her back all the time, and she was about to stare her out of the hole, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Tianqing had no choice but to stop, turned around and asked curiously, "...what's wrong?"

"Oh... Oh, I was discovered by you... Actually, I shouldn't ask, but I'm really curious, who is that excellent and handsome samurai and your guest..."

The proprietress held her face together, with a curious and gossip look on her face, Tianqing was startled when she heard the words, before she could think of how to answer, the proprietress was even more embarrassed to explain.

"After all, that samurai is really excellent, but I'm not sure if the two of you have a marriage contract, otherwise, I really want to take my daughter..."

"……this is not OK!"

Before the proprietress finished speaking, Tianqing interrupted anxiously, but she was stunned as soon as she said the words, her face quickly flushed red, and she explained in a panic: "Uh, I... no, I... "

"Oh! So that's the case, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, this guest, you just pretend you haven't heard my question..."

The proprietress also immediately saw from Tianqing's reaction that although there was no marriage contract between them, they were still close men and women.

However, this is similar to what the proprietress guessed at the beginning. Although the girl has not come out of the room for the past few days, she is still quite impressed. When the stern warrior brought the girl in, he hugged her naturally. She came to check in because she was "frail and sickly and often fell asleep".

If it was just an ordinary guard, it is estimated that the attitude on that adult's face would not be so calm - plus a samurai with his aura would not be willing to be anyone's attendant in the current Edo period.

Furthermore, although he seemed clumsy and incapable of handling many trivial matters such as check-in procedures and room arrangements, he chose the best without exception when it came to matters concerning the young lady in front of him.

Although there is a possibility that the guards will take the young miss on a trip, she still feels somewhat ambiguous...

It's just that the girl in front of her didn't dress up like a married woman, so she didn't speculate randomly.

Anyway, no matter how much I asked from the man, the other party didn't show any opportunity.

"It's just that my daughter has been mentioning it a few days ago... No, I'm taking the liberty, you should understand that we mothers really can't stop worrying about our children... But now that I have asked clearly, I will go back and let Daughter give up this heart..."

"No, it's okay, I understand..." Tianqing shook her head, remembering that she suddenly interrupted others just now, after all, she was thin-skinned, so she hid in the bathing place in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, then I went to wash first..."

"Well, please take it slow..."

The proprietress also apologized repeatedly, didn't bother her any more, and left quickly from the entrance of the bathing place.

Only then did Tianqing heave a sigh of relief.

……

Taking off her kimono that was wet with sweat and tears, she held a towel to wipe her body in her hand, and carefully immersed her body in the scalding hot spring.

The sky outside has completely darkened, the whole sky is blue-gray, countless stars are blinking lively in the sky, except for the sound of water and the whispering voices of little monsters living in the cracks, there is only There is no one else, and she is happy to be quiet.

After all, even if she was not seen since she was born, at least she is the daughter of the Shiratori family. When she took a bath in the Shiratori's house, the environment was clean and comfortable-probably because she was spoiled at the time, so after she came out with the sword, it was all the same. I can't accept the bustling appearance of the bathing place in the local hotel.

Many aunts, girls and children who don't know each other candidly meet in the same pool, and it really gave her a wave of culture shock when she walked in for the first time.

Later, if it was not necessary, she would rather go back to Honmaru to take a bath with her dirty body, rather than take a shared open-air hot spring elsewhere.

After carefully wiping her face with water and rinsing her body, while staying in the smoky hot spring, those dream images popped up in Tianqing's mind again.

"After waking up, I actually remembered a little bit..."

She submerged her body a little more in the water, allowing the spring water to cover her entire body before poking her head out.

The water slid down the lines of her cheeks to her neck and collarbone. She lowered her eyes and recalled the memories that did not belong to her.

Just... the memory of her mother Shiratori Chu.

She is indeed a remarkable person, and it's no wonder that Touken didn't seem to be in high spirits when he first took over as Honmaru.

Because now it seems that Bai Niaochu is really a kind person who is almost perfect and no one will dislike.

... As the only daughter of the last wife of Shiratori Yangtian, Shiratori had a pair of distinctive amber clear eyes since she was born. It's not this eye color either.

Even grandma said that she had only heard of a great onmyoji in her ancestors' generation in her distant hometown, with the same eyes as Shiratori Chu's.

It is not unheard of related legends that Bai Niao Yangtian has heard of, so he has high expectations for the youngest mother.

And the mother seemed to live up to the family's concern for her. Part of her memory is the chatter of relatives, saying that when the mother just turned one year old and was taken out by the grandmother, she grabbed a strand of hair sticking to her shoulder with her bare hands. The miasma in the air was purified instinctively with spiritual power.

At the banquet, Bai Niao Yangtian also proudly agreed, saying that he was there when this happened, and even praised a few words, "A Chu must be the most anticipated child in this generation"——Bai Niao Yangtian would be so It is not that Tianqing does not understand. After all, although there are many children in the Bainiao family, most of them are born with the ability of spiritual vision and spiritual hearing because of the blood of the onmyoji. train.

The Shiratori family's training for children starts at the age of three, and she also took such lessons briefly when she was three years old.

Even for her, it was only when she was in class that she first realized that she could condense spiritual power. Although she was indeed the fastest learner among her peers, her mother...

It is said that she learned this without a teacher before class. From a few years old, Shiratori Yangtian would even take her directly to the place where monsters live, and practice directly in actual combat.

This incident displeased all the children of the same generation as the mother and the elders of the various clans, but they quickly shut up, because Ah Chu was able to recruit shikigami by himself at the age of five, and the monsters who could be cured at the age of seven had already caught up. The level of five-stage Onmyoji in my family is now.

Soon, even the famous people in the family sighed, saying that the scope of mother's inspiration is unparalleled, and what her eyes can see seems to be different from their ordinary people. They can see farther places and can distinguish good things at a glance. Evil, it is impossible to hide any crooked thoughts in front of her.

She is such a kind and transparent, upright and great genius born in the sun.

It is also because her growth rate has long been perverted far beyond what all the elders of the Shiratori family can educate, and gradually there is no such thing as Shiratori Yangtian taking Ah Chu out to fight monsters, and Shiratori Chu has become the only one before he is an adult. Although she is not yet old enough to apply for the rank of Onmyoji, no one in the entire region would doubt her ability after seeing her.

Gradually, she also put the matter of rank behind her, dealt with the matters between monsters and humans every day, and reached the age where she could marry.

At that time, because of her frankness, cuteness, kindness and bravery, there were not a few monsters or humans attracted by her, so Shiratori Yoten had received many "letters" from other noble families when she was ten years old, but she It seems that he has no interest in these things, and is only obsessed with things about supernatural beings.

Even, on her birthday, she suddenly found Shiratori Yangtian, and suddenly said...

【"...Father, I found an enchantment that I want to be interested in. I want to live in it and practice my Yin Yang art. I may not go home for a while, so don't worry about me!"】

——whatever, he left in a hurry, even the stern and rigid Bai Niao Yangtian couldn't stop this gifted daughter he was used to.

Now Tianqing naturally knows that the "enchantment" her mother mentioned is Honmaru.

She thought that even her grandfather was very angry with her back then.

But my mother still smiled and lived every day as brightly as a sun, bringing salvation to different people, such as the many monsters she rescued, the many humans she helped, and the sword that fell into the dark. And the Master Yimulian she met later...

She thought, there should be no one in the world who doesn't like her mother.

In the pictures in her mind, in almost all the pictures of her mother chatting with Bai Niao Yangtian, the person Tianqing only had the impression of loathing her had the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes full of pride.

Just because it was my mother standing in front of me.

"So, why did it become like this at that time..."

Tianqing held up a lot of spring water with both hands, the texture of the hot spring gushing out from the mountains was smoother than ordinary water, the water flowed slipperily from between her fingers, leaving only her skin that was red from soaking in the hot spring.

She desperately recalled the details of that time, awakening all the memories her mother gave her.

【"Father, I have seen it all. There is a secret room hidden in your dormitory, and that dangerous spell is stored in it..."】

【"When I was young, I touched it because I was playful, so I know the way to get in. Father, I don't want to doubt your intentions. It's just that when I go home today, I really feel that there are some traces of curses in the house..." 】

【"Those traces are really uncomfortable for me. Our Shiratori family usually does not take on the task of removing the curse. It is impossible for the filth of the curse to stick to the enchantment..."】

【"I had no choice but to pay attention secretly. I thought someone was going to harm Shiratori's house, but I didn't expect that the more I investigated, the more evidence would point to you..."】

In her memory, her mother accused her father in a unwilling voice—after all, Bai Niao Yangtian had always been the greatest person in her heart and the person she respected the most, so when she found out that this person had always given her The existence of pride and the courage to live with head held high was so dark, she was in pain.

【"I didn't want to say it at first, I even ran to Honmaru to hide from all of this, just, just... the recent events in Kyoto are all affected by the cursed objects in the room? Father, I have seen you and the Kamo family The person who came and went, that person is full of evil spirits, it is really dangerous..."]

She tried to tell Bai Niao Yangtian everything she thought of—for the first time since she was born, she could confidently say all her thoughts, see through other people's hearts, and even win the favor of animals.

Standing in front of that indifferent Shiratori Yangtian, she felt that the more she tried to speak, the more her tongue became knotted——

Bai Niaochu was really afraid that she needed to speak more and more bloody and straightforward. She didn't want what she said would offend the person she respected the most. She didn't know how far she needed to speak so as not to subvert her all-time Believe in everything in the world.

She obviously didn't want to say anything, didn't want to cry, and didn't want things to become like that.

But she can't stop - although the person standing in front of Dayi is her closest person, it is precisely because the person in front of her is her closest person...

"Well……"

Tianqing recalled everything Shiratori had faced back then, the night when she confronted Shiratori Yangtian, Ah Chu's heart-piercing pain seemed to be imprinted in her memory at the same time, just thinking about it, she felt a splitting headache , Heart pain.

The feeling of sadness covered her body domineeringly, even if she was soaked in the hot spring water, she still felt very cold and helpless, and wished that all the spring water would drown her.

Just wanted to hide myself.

Tianqing slid her body down a little, then frowned.

Then... how did it go after that.

... Later, it seemed to be consistent with what my mother said in the dream.

Then came the appearance of Kamo Naruto, Shiratori Yoten's sudden decision to imprison his mother, but at this time... the mother was found to be pregnant.

This incident made the grandfather furious. The daughter was pregnant with a child before she was married. It was something that was ashamed to talk about, let alone the child's father was a monster.

It's just that the mother insisted on giving birth to her no matter what, and even threatened her life, which made Bai Niao Yangtian's heart soften.

Next, in order to conceal the fact that the mother was pregnant, the mother was confined in the room for nearly two years, and even the childbirth and recuperation were completed in the room.

So Tianqing herself had a vague impression of that room, but one day, after her mother was taken away from the room... she never came back.

She has been puzzled countless times, and it is only now that she has part of her mother's memory that she knows the truth.

It was the mother who wanted to secretly take her away from Shiratori's house that day, but was discovered by her grandfather. Later, Kamo Chengxian restrained her mother who was constantly resisting and almost defeated Shiratori Yoten with a spell, and then...

Shiratori Yoten came with Anshiba, listened to Kamo's words and opened the seal of Anshiba in front of his mother.

"hiss……"

What emerged in my mind was the turbid blackness, bit by bit swallowing my mother's vision, followed by the pain of tearing the body.

The feeling of repression and the overwhelming malice pierced her head, and she gasped in a natural reaction.

Soaking in this unmanned hot spring, Tianqing suddenly felt that the surroundings were too lonely, and she was tired from digging for memories, and she hadn't eaten yet...

She tried to get up from the pool, but, at the same time as she got up, she felt a throbbing pain in her calf.

She frowned, and her half-upright body had to sit down, but the pain in her head became more intense, and soon she felt that her whole head was hot and heavy, so heavy that she had no strength to support it.

"Oops, I'm actually dizzy..."

She frowned and complained, wanting to get up and leave the hot spring immediately, but her body was too uncomfortable, so she supported herself with her hands, and fell forward again...

At the same time, she squinted her eyes in dizziness, and her uncontrollable body plummeted into the water with a thud.

The splash of water startled the small animals that were resting near the hot spring to keep warm.

And just as the spring water poured into her mouth and nose, and Tianqing choked on the smell of sulfur, a huge hand picked her up from the water.

She only felt that her body had suddenly shifted from the hot and oppressive environment to a bitingly cold place, and she felt that a big hand was placed in someone's arms. In the next second, her naked body was covered with a snow-white lined bathrobe .

The man then skillfully clasped her chin to help her spit out all the water in her mouth, and then hugged her, carefully examining her face, hands and feet.

"Hey, wake up!"

It was the magnetic voice that Tianqing was familiar with and loved to hear. After a long absence, he added panic and anxiety into his speech.

She hasn't heard him speak in such an exasperated tone for a long time. Recently, he always looks calm and calm, and it seems that he has shouldered a lot of her troubles. No matter how much she wants him to relax, he is still not easy. Play with her like before.

She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she foolishly called out his name in his arms: "Onikiri..."

"...What's wrong? Do you need anything?"

"very dizzy……"

"...I really admire you!"

He scolded again, but then he didn't click his lips anymore, he just frowned and picked her up resolutely by the waist, using the way he broke in, holding her things and jumping onto the eaves, three steps and two Step back to the guest room where they live.

She was quickly placed on the dry floor by him, warming her body with the quilt—his footsteps sounded in the room, he seemed to leave the room immediately, and then found the proprietress, she remembered that she was unconsciously beaten by someone After feeding something, the dizziness gradually eased.

So she fell asleep again because of fatigue, and didn't wake up until late at night.
