[Touken Ranbu] Wisteria

#34

In the end, I agreed to Maeda and fulfilled their wish to help Yiqi Yixing who was trapped in a nightmare.

"Ugh……"

When the night fell, I changed into the Bai Wugou with the pattern of one phase and one vibration of the knife, and carefully traced my face in the mirror, with complicated emotions.To be honest, I still feel that something is not right, and I have a very strong feeling of being calculated.But to Akita's shining eyes, to Wuhutui's shy and strangely satisfied eyes, to the bones who rarely express their gratitude to me directly... If you want to go back on your word, you can't say it. export.

In a sense, it is also fooled.

Putting down the lip pencil, my eyes were tightly glued to the corners of my mouth, and the corners of my mouth were pursed. In a trance, I remembered that something similar happened in the village when I was a child.Although the Zhipi God is enshrined, some people in the village believe that there is also an unnamed god in the flowing river.

——Send off for marriage.

Is that how it's called...?Too much time has passed, and my memory has begun to blur.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. The scene I saw at that time was vaguely printed in front of my eyes.The pure white horns floated up and down along the flowing river, floating around.The girl who was thrown into the water and dressed in white without any dark lines was shaking her arms back and forth. Those hands expressed the owner's infinite memory for the world. She tried to seek help from others, but after she couldn't grasp the hope, she collapsed and recognized it. Reality, buried in the bottom of the river together with heavy stones.

At that time, what was I thinking?

The hands in the sleeves were clenched into fists, but there was no ups and downs in the expression on the face. I just watched, watched and recorded silently.The life and death of the girl has nothing to do with me, let alone the Grand Priestess.We serve only the direct god, and the existence of the river god is not even necessary to verify.

What the villagers believe, what they want to do, and what they harm, we have no right to stop them.

The gods have the power to prevent humans from killing each other, but they have no obligation to prevent it.After all, human beings have not yet been destroyed. As long as there are human beings who can give them the power of faith, there is no need for them to do things that may be suspected by human beings or cause conflicts with human beings.

Ruthless gods.

— ruthless human beings.

"Hey, Gu Gu." I called out to the white-haired boy who had been standing outside the door for a long time, "What are you planning?"

"..."

"I know." With a chuckle, I opened my eyes and looked at myself in the mirror, "Helping for a while is just an excuse, the proposer of this solution...well, it should be Minghu. You guys What is the real purpose?"

The tone at the end of the sentence is as light as a feather, lightly sweeping over the tangled and restless heart.He clenched his fists tightly, put his hand on the handle of the knife several times, and then moved it away in the next instant, as if his hesitant emotions were on the verge of getting out of control, and he could only try his best to stop it.

"The main hall... Where did the main hall know that it is—"

"Tch." Thinking of the appearance of the girl who was given away for marriage, I couldn't help but sneer, "Why don't you guess others? Because only the little fox Minghu would give you such advice."

I still believe in Minghu himself, but his fox... really often speaks amazingly.

"...Ciaowei said, I hope the main hall can trust us more."

"But, I can't do it."

Even though there is a thin screen door, even though I can only see the silhouette of the bone figure reflected on the screen door through the faint light, at this moment I still clearly feel his loss.

But I have no regrets at all.

Trust - easier said than done.I don't even believe in my own human race, so how can I believe in a more ruthless god?

Even the orthodox gods scare me. Strictly speaking, there is no godhead Fusangshin——

unbelievable.

"The so-called trust is a restricted area." I got up and opened the door. I looked at the stunned bone with a smile on my face, and there was an aura around me that could make others feel oppressed. "It's like you are always persistent. As for the past that has been lost, I have also been obsessed with that not-so-pleasant past, Gu Gu."

Yes, it is a lie to say that you have forgotten something, and it is a lie to say that you don't want to remember anything.

I was just kidding myself, trying to forget about those things that way.

"You have Cattail to accompany you, and you will come out one day."

"But I don't, I'm always alone."

His eye sockets were wet, his eyes were blurred, and even Gu Gu's figure became unbearably distorted.I heard a slight sob in my voice, and it seemed to be the cry of a girl who was too weak to face reality.

"You lie too, and humans lie too."

"The great witch will lie, Aoi will lie, and the villagers will lie."

"Everyone will lie to me, they will all lie to me because of their own little thoughts, won't they?"

"The main hall..."

Subconsciously clamping the shoulders of the person in front of him with both hands, Gu Gu panicked for some reason.He opened his mouth slightly, trying to refute himself, and tried to explain his true thoughts to the main hall who was crying with a smile but faintly showing signs of collapse.

But he didn't do it.

The person who was about to be embraced by him pushed him away at the last moment, wiped away his tears and turned back to the back room.Through the glove, there is still warmth in the palm, with a slightly sweet and greasy aroma.

—that was the smell of his lord.

His eyes froze on his palms, and he folded his hands together, not wanting the sweet scent to just dissipate.The next moment, he realized that something was wrong with what he was doing, and hurriedly turned his gaze back to his main hall.

"Let's go." Picking up the horn, I glanced at the gradually deepening night and said coldly.Putting the horn on the head without the help of others and adjusting the position, I suddenly thought of Hidekiri.

"I told women not to be jealous so as not to turn into ghosts, but I still gave them a chance to hide their ghost horns..." I whispered unconsciously, and I shook my head quickly when I noticed the doubts of the bones, "It's nothing, talking to myself That's all."

Humans are indeed an amazing species.

Accompanied by Gu Gu, I walked towards Awataguchi's room, and suddenly I understood where the sense of disobedience I felt from time to time came from.

"Hey, Bones." Stopping, I put my hands back into my sleeves, and held them tightly just in case I stuffed them into the spell, "How did you manage to make it so that no one else would notice?"

As if he didn't understand, Gu Gu tilted his head in doubt, "The main hall?"

——It was really strange.

Aren't they afraid that other fusangshen who wake up at night will see me like this?Even if it happened for a reason, I don't think everyone would stop it from happening.

Especially Tsurumaru and Higiri.

The former will definitely help me make jokes to get past these things, while the latter may turn on the cynicism mode the moment they see me in Bai Wugou.Besides... there's another problem.

——Pharmaceutical research.

"Did the medicine research agree?"

He avoided answering my question, and his eyes flickered slightly.

What else do you not understand?

"I'm sorry, Lord Hall."

Grabbing my wrist, Gu Biao strode forward with a vague sense of anxiety.He controlled me with terrifying strength, his wrist seemed to be crushed by him, and he didn't give me a chance to escape at all.

This is a trap, a trap created by most of Awataguchi's knives.

What exactly do they want to do, and what is their purpose?

Should it be—

"Stop! Bones!"

The author has something to say:

Ah... like an old salted fish...

Lujiang probably won't have a real cp_(:3」∠)_

She's so stubborn...I can't get her mistrust right at all, she's really stubborn and contradictory

I have to stimulate her a bit more, she is really going to have an accident if this goes on _(:3」∠)_ I’m afraid she will be imprisoned before the solution is resolved
