Sword Raiders II

"You are still protecting the lord as usual, Mr. Candlestick Qie." Of course Bing knew Taidao, and even joked, "But in terms of temper, it is much better than that one."

Confirmed, just by looking at the housekeeper, you can know how familiar I am in this area.

"Good evening, Miss B." Yu Li raised his hand to say hello, "Where are the ingredients?"

"Miss Bing?" The beautiful banshee with a thin pipe in her hand smiled lowly, "You who have lost your memory are also very interesting. As for the ingredients, they are not far from here, and I will take you there."

The banshee walked in front, and Yu Li followed behind. The way to store the ingredients was not far away, but along the way, she saw the monsters she saw in the video with her cousin before.

"Master Xinggong, have you really lost your memory?"

"What does it feel like to lose your memory? Will you have a headache?"

"Here, the water from the clear spring on the top of the mountain, you worked hard up the mountain!"

"Some gods in Gaotianyuan are really unreasonable, you have suffered."

Monsters with different personalities have different concerns about her. Yu Li thought it was very interesting, and answered them one by one with a smile.

"I am amnesiac.... I won't have a headache....Okay, thank you, wow! The water quality is so high!...The main reason is that I have amnesia, so I don't feel it anymore. Anyway, my father said that they didn't get any good, and it's enough. gone."

After some conversations between you and me, the monsters in Yayuan also confirmed that this person had indeed lost his memory, and his way of speaking was different.

——But it seems to be getting closer.

As soon as the group of monsters thought about it, they saw the cooking master suddenly yelled "Wow wow wow" and jumped into the pile of ingredients, and then he didn't look up again.

"That's why I don't want her to go up the mountain at this time." Candlestick scratched his head and stroked his forehead, "It will definitely take another night if this continues."

The two middle-level monsters who just handed Yuli water couldn't help muttering: "What's the matter, it's no big deal if you don't sleep all night..."

"No—!" Candlestick Kiri and Izumi Mori shouted together this time.

"Human beings are not monsters, how can the body survive without sleep?" "The main hall will be in charge of the banquet for so many people tomorrow, how can it be done without sleep!"

The cold and serious faces of the two Sword Fusangshen managed to scare the timid mid-level monsters aside, and at the same time let out the C-level monsters who had been snickering behind them.

These guys who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement!

Because I often come to Yayuan with Yuli, Candlestick is more familiar with these monsters than Izumi Shou and the others, it is better to expect them to persuade people...

"Sister Yuli, I can handle these in time tomorrow." Pulling out Yuli who was buried in the ingredients, Natsume also looked helpless, "And many residents here can also handle these ingredients, and some of them are even taught by you. , so there is really no need to worry about lack of manpower.”

Go back quickly, the two fusangshen eyes in your family are going to eat people.

"No, I don't want to." Still holding a shimmering mushroom in his hand, Yu Li shook his head with a rattle, "I won't go back!"

"Sister Yuli..."

"I'm going to sleep here tonight! I'm going to sleep with them!"

The owner, who was obsessed with supernatural ingredients and couldn't help himself, was finally carried down the mountain by the servant who couldn't bear it directly by the waist and carried it on his shoulders.

And listening to them saying, "Put me down, you nasty deputy long knife! I'm not your team member!" If I can't beat it, I'll go back to sleep!" In the conversation, Natsume who stayed where he was, nodded to Candlestick and greeted him, only to smile helplessly.

It's hard for them to take care of Miss Yu Li who has become self-willed.

The lord who was carried down the mountain by his subordinates went up the mountain the next day pouting.

"Guizhi-jun, why do you think I keep so many knives? Is it to find a bunch of housekeepers for myself?"

She complained in her mouth, but the movements of her hands were not slow at all.

At least Natsume, who was sitting next to her and helping to peel the taro, watched her peel off a snow-white taro fruit the size of an adult's palm in a few breaths with an absent-minded gesture, and then looked down at his own... Well, let's not say up.

"They're also worried about you." Natsume, who didn't intend to compete with her cousin, calmed down quickly, and spoke slowly while peeling, "Especially Yuli, you have amnesia now, and you don't even have enough force to protect yourself, so you will be more nervous And it should."

"I also want to restore my memory as soon as possible." Yu Li pouted, and the strength in her hands became more ferocious, but the taro that came out was still in a complete shape and no piece of skin was wasted. "A month doesn't sound like a long time, but after a while It's not right now...Especially now that it's best not to go out unless necessary, it's pretty bad." She muttered the last sentence in a low voice.

Seeing her depressed look, Natsume didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, there was a noise not far from them.

"Master, master! Come and see us!" The rather cheerful boy yelled, making Yu Li and the two turn their heads to look, and saw the short knives headed by Baoding Toshiro running to her with a small basket of ingredients: " Look, the taro, potatoes, and burdock are all peeled clean!"

"Oh, oh, it's great!" Yu Li immediately clapped his hands vigorously and praised, "It's worthy of the sword to pay the gods, and the use of the sword is really reliable!"

"Hey hey!" Baoding and the others who received the praise were also very happy, and the leader of the short knife seemed to have thought of something and made a serious statement, "But master, although I was called Baoding because the blade looks like a kitchen knife, it's not true. Don’t forget your kitchen knife!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his head was rubbed by the master: "I know, I know! You have repeated it several times before!"

Seeing Baoding being treated so affectionately by his master, the other short knives were unwilling to be left alone: ​​"My lord is eccentric, I will also be praised and patted on the head!"

In an instant, Yu Li was surrounded by the young ladies who were vying for favor, laughing non-stop, and after coaxing the gang of short knives to let them disperse, her little depression before had disappeared.

"The preface is retracted, it's good to raise them." A certain owner said afterward.

Natsume:"……"

Sanxiao, the leader of the monsters in Yahara, does not like palaces and pavilions but prefers to be close to nature, so both the kitchen and the banquet venue are open-air, and you can see everything on the mountain to the end as soon as you look up.

As the head chef, besides cooking, Yu Li is of course also responsible for all the helpers in the kitchen. Although the cooking is not as smooth and natural as before because of amnesia, the effect is also very good.

"It's not difficult, just remember all the procedures clearly in your mind, and then proceed with a good rhythm. The only trouble is to deal with accidents that may occur at any time, so as not to disrupt the existing rhythm." Alright." Yu Li looked at the busy surroundings with her hands on her hips and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's continue with my... Hey, who's calling?"

The phone vibrated in his pocket, and Yu Li raised his hand to take it out, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Asajiro Sifengin.

"Dad!" She answered the phone and called out happily.

【Xiao Yuli, Dad heard about it! 】Dad's voice came from the microphone, 【You are making a banquet for those monsters at Yayuan, right?Dad is coming too! 】He was still wheezing when he spoke, as if he was running fast.

"Didn't your aunt tell you to go back to work in the clan, and you couldn't come back for a long time? Why are you suddenly free?" Yu Li was not surprised how his father knew her whereabouts, but only wondered about it.

【Dad just went to work and not to jail, of course he can come back. 】The wind on the microphone seemed to be getting louder, and even the voice of the old father was a little fluttering, and the picture of his father changing from ordinary fast running to extremely fast running appeared in Yu Li's mind instantly.

You used "Shunpo"... Wait, what is "Shunpo"?

Before this doubt could be uttered, besides the sound of wind, there was a slight sound of thunder and lightning from the other end of the microphone.

thunder?

[Boom——] There was another thunder from inside, followed by a scream from Dad, [Ah——Sister Smelly, you... 嗄! ! 】

This scream made Yu Li shrink back his neck, and before he had time to ask about the old father's situation, another woman's laughter came from over there.

【Heh heh heh, you dare to compare your speed with me, Asajiro, the more you live, the more you can't control yourself. 】

[Damn it, it's almost there!Little Yuli... woo woo woo... Ugh! 】

Dad seems to have been beaten again, so miserable.Yu Li was worried, she wanted to intercede but was subconsciously afraid, but she couldn't really let her father be abused.

"Well, auntie..." He yelled tentatively, and the other party responded immediately.

【Yo, Xiao Yuli, I know that I don't need to worry when I hear your energetic voice. ] A sassy female voice came from it, 【Your father is fine, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so he still has the ability to resist blows. 】

"That's good." Yu Li nodded, and then said, "Will you come to the Yayuan banquet tonight? I'm in charge of most of the dishes here."

[Ahahahaha, I can't see that you were quite slippery when you were young! 】The female voice laughed directly, 【Yes, we will participate, after all, our little Yuli has protected his father like this. 】

【Hmph, big sister, are you envious?If you are envious, you can give birth to one yourself...cough! 】

Yu Li: "..." At this time, I felt that it was not wrong for my father to be beaten all the time.

Two more guests joined, and Yu Li subconsciously felt that these two people were not small, and the movements of their hands increased a lot, and they were destined to be busy before the dinner began.

This is a late-night banquet with 2 guests. The number seems small, but everyone's food intake is at least 3 times the starting, 5 or 10 times the normal, and [-] times the non-human beings who may not be able to cap it. I can eat to my heart's content, no matter Yahara's youkai or Honmaru's sword, everyone has contributed to help.

The excessive workload also doubled Yu Li's pressure, because thinking about getting everything ready, the body's ability that was originally restricted by amnesia was released little by little.

Until it was dark, Yu Li was surprised to find that he was not as tired as he imagined amidst the complaints about back pain.

"As expected of a big monster, this food preservation technology is really amazing!" Before leaving the kitchen area, Yu Li gave a thumbs up to a barrier warehouse stacked with countless dishes. As long as you are in this barrier, all The temperature, freshness and taste of the dishes can be kept at the moment when they are just out of the pan, which is simply an artifact.

Thanks to it, Yuli doesn't have to be busy in the kitchen when the banquet starts, and can prepare all the dishes in advance now, and then change into beautiful clothes and wait for the banquet to start.

It would be great if human technology can also reach this level.

As night fell and the full moon had just risen, the banquet scene, which had been lit up early, gradually became lively.

Both the monster and the swordsman worked together for the punctual opening of the banquet during the day, so after the two parties sat down, they talked, laughed and got along well.

"Father!" Yu Li also waited for Asajiro who finally came from the world of souls...and, "Auntie."

She yelled at the woman behind her father, with the same Gutong complexion and similar facial contours, no doubt she was a sibling.

Then Yuli's head was rubbed by her aunt: "Oh, it's really different. After amnesia, the whole person's spirit is different. The little Yuli in the past has never called me so sweetly." Until Both father and daughter were in a hurry, and the black cat-like woman withdrew her hands and looked at Yu Li with a smile, "I'm Yeichi Sifengyuan, and I've watched you grow up since you were 14 years old."

"I know, you deserve a lot of credit, so let's go." Asajiro didn't want his elder sister to show off his merits, so he dragged his daughter to the banquet, "Dad didn't come late this time, did he? He even brought a gift here, where is the leader?" Well, I want to thank him for allowing us to participate in the full moon banquet."

After saying hello to Yayuan's leader, Daiyo, Yuli's family can take their seats.

"Sister Yuli, here!" On a table next to the core, Natsume waved his hand to indicate that the position is here.

Not long after the three sat down, the banquet officially began.

On a specially vacated piece of land in the center of the arena, there are big and small monsters with strong artistic skills playing music and dancing to add to the fun, accompanied by the smell of vegetables and wine in the air, the scene is very lively.

"Oh Huo, I thought your culinary skills would deteriorate a lot if you lost your memory, but I didn't expect it to be so good!" Another plate was emptied, and Ye Yi casually wiped his mouth, obviously not satisfied, so he took another plate and continued to eat.

"That is, when did my little Yuli's cooking not taste good?" Dad looked terrified, but he didn't stop talking, "Sure enough, supernatural ingredients taste better, and the same method is more delicious than ordinary ingredients. One grade. No wonder Xiao Yuli, you always like to pursue more advanced ingredients."

"That is to say, these ingredients are all great dad!" Yu Li also nodded in agreement, "I was shocked when I saw it last night, it is even better than the top ingredients I have seen, I almost fell asleep On these ingredients!"

"Just sleep on the ingredients, be careful of catching a cold." My father only cares about this, "By the way, did you bring all the knives at home? Why do you feel that there are more than before?"

The god of death has good eyesight, so he randomly counted the number of people and found that the number of fusangshen was wrong.

"Then I don't know." Yu Li replied more bluntly, she was also actively enjoying these spiritual food dishes, "I lost my memory."

There is nothing wrong with that.So Asajiro simply didn't ask.

Yu Li originally thought that his next task was just to bury his head and eat hard, but he panicked when a monster came up with a wine glass to toast.

"Master Xinggong, I offer you a toast! Tonight's banquet dishes are really great. I have been hungry for a long time since your gods and demons restaurants closed. Today I can finally have a delicious meal. I am so moved to tears." .please!"

The above meaning can be repeated over and over again with various sentences, and the core idea is still "Come on, do it!"

Fortunately, Yu Li is not alone now, just now he was embarrassed, and there was a sudden burst of laughter from the side: "Mmm, hahahaha, if you drink, don't embarrass the lord, she is still young, and it's the same if I, my servant, replace her."

The bold and beautiful Otachi left the table at some point and walked behind her. He was her valet today, but because everyone was busy during the day, no one cared about it.

"Mr. Jiro..." Yu Li looked up at him and murmured, and saw him smiling at her with his wine glass raised, and after turning his electric eye, he confronted those toast demons.

Compared with drinking or something, as the top three alcoholics in Honmaru... oh, after not doing photopolarization and quitting alcohol, there are only two big alcoholics left.As one of the two major alcoholics, Jiro Tachi never gave up drinking.

Dressed as a woman, he is coquettish and beautiful, but at the same time he has the boldness that a man should have. Under the moonlight and lights, his posture of drinking with his head up is also very seductive, which naturally attracts the monsters who are naturally escaped. attention.

Not only him, many of the ancient swords who were sitting in their seats also left the arena to find other monsters who like to drink with others in the arena, and they quickly became friends with each other.

Yu Li, who was finally no longer being stared at, breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he heard his father next to him snort suddenly: "It's pretty capable, it's not in vain."

Then she got a sideways glance from her aunt: "It's very capable! When you can't reach people, they are the ones who take care of Yu Li. You won't die if you just nod your head generously."

The old father who had been bullied suddenly had a resentful expression on his face, and he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Yu Li, who was listening by the side, moved the tea soup he was holding to his mouth again, fearing that his snickering would be seen by his father.

Suddenly, a shimmering pale pink petal fell into her soup bowl.

"Sakura?" Yu Li was taken aback, "Are there any cherry trees on this mountain? I didn't look at them during the day before..."

Subconsciously looking up, I saw a huge ancient cherry tree growing out of thin air in the open space that was originally just a performance stage.

The huge crown of branches spread out in all directions, and the crown of cherry blossoms in full bloom above filled the branches like piles of snow, almost covering the banquet hall below.The most dazzling thing is that every petal on the tree is a glowing fluorescent pink, which is especially spectacular under the full moon night.

"So that's it, it's the phantom of Gu Ying condensed with demon power." Ye Yi suddenly said at this moment, "That guy Bai Zai will also use this trick, but he never wants to make it just for viewing."

"It's a good show to add to the entertainment as the finale." Asajiro also nodded, "It's quite elegant."

Hearing Dad mention the word Fengya, Yu Li couldn't help but turn his head to search for a certain blade in Honmaru who always used the word on his lips.

Sure enough, when he saw him, the second generation Kanesada was standing with a gray long-haired sword, and the Wendao group output a haiku to Ye Sakura.

Quickly shifting her gaze, she saw a table of Five Swords of the World and Pingan Dao not far from the Wen Dao Group. These blades were also close to the center circle. Looking up at the cherry blossoms falling with the wind from time to time, she was talking and laughing happily.

The liveliest daggers had already left their seats, and went directly to look up at the flowers under the tree canopy.

Not only them, but also many monsters, and some even reached out to pick up the fallen petals.

Cherry blossom viewing is always an eternal romance.

The cherry blossoms are flying like powder snow. Under the canopy, every face has a happy smile.

Yu Li stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling a little strange in his heart for some reason.

At this moment, the wrist was grabbed and gently pulled up, Yu Li raised his head, and it was his cousin's smiling face right in front of him: "Sister Yu Li, do you want to go over and have a look?"

He pointed to the cherry blossom tree in front of him, under the trunk, there were already many guests gathered there.

Following his strength, Yu Li stood up slowly, and Asajiro and Yeichi, who were sitting on the other side of her, also stood up: "If you want to go, let's all go together. Speaking of which, I haven't enjoyed cherry blossoms with my daughter for many years."

"You haven't seen cherry blossoms with me and Yushiro either." The elder sister's complaint came as expected, "I have never seen what you look like after you got married, but I know what you looked like before marriage. It would be a good thing to just sit down for a while."

Yu Li was amused by the conversations of the elders, and when she was about to say something, someone waved to her under the cherry tree in front of her.

"Master!" Fu Sangshen, a boy with black hair and red eyes and blue hair and blue eyes, stood there, "Master, come here quickly!"

When the swordsmen of the Okita group smiled brightly at her, a spotlight flickered, which also surprised them.

It was Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki who was taking photos everywhere with the camera, and he even took a picture of the four of Yuli, and then he put it down and waved to her: "Oh, master, this cherry tree is really amazing , how about we take a group photo under the tree?"

This proposal has been responded by many swords, and the short swords just below have begun to gather and line up to pose for group photos.

"Excuse me!" Banshee C and leader San Xiao also raised their hands to intervene at this time, "Can you take us with you if you take pictures?"

"Of course there's no problem!" Tosao smiled heartily, "But we'll have to wait until we take a photo with the master."

Bing and the others, of course, had no objection, they backed away to give enough distance for taking pictures, and then turned their heads to look in Yu Li's direction.

The leader did this, and of course the little demons below followed suit.

And the swords that belonged to Yuli have been waiting for their masters for a long time, and the group photos gradually gathered under the flower trees.

Among the fallen flowers, Yuli looked to one side, and saw Touken Fusangshen who gathered together talking and laughing, and would smile when they met her eyes; she looked to the other side, and saw the strange but cute Yahara monsters, Even the way of greeting her is all kinds of weird.

So she withdrew her gaze and looked to her side. The cousin on the left was smiling at her, and the father on the right had just exchanged words with her, but his eyes were fixed on the top of her head. A petal: "Okay, Dad didn't mess with your hairstyle."

It's a phrase she heard a lot when she was a child asking her dad to fix her hair, and five times out of ten she would get a whiff afterwards.

Inadvertent childhood memories made Yu Li couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but just as he frowned, a string of tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

"Ah?"

Yu Li raised his hand subconsciously, and another line of tears rolled down.

"Why, why?"

More and more tears, Yu Li was not the only one who was frightened, but the people around were also frightened.

"Sister Yu Li?"/"Little Yu Li?" The people around them all changed their faces and surrounded them, "Is there something wrong with your body?"

"I, I don't know." Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, Yu Li was also confused, "I'm obviously very happy, and I wanted to laugh just now, but why...why can't the tears stop?"

Trying to blink her eyes so that her vision would not be blurred, she looked up at the lively scene in front of her, but her face was full of bewilderment.

"Obviously so happy, everyone is with me, I enjoy this banquet very much. But why do I feel sore and sore all of a sudden and feel sad? It seems that there is a hole leaking in here, and I suddenly feel very uncomfortable...! Why? ?”

Natsume was shocked all over, he couldn't help but looked up at Sifengin Asajiro opposite, the cousin's father had the same dazed expression as him at this time, and added a bit of guilt and pain.

Why would I want to cry without warning in such a relaxed, happy and even happy environment?

Because standing here are all the things my cousin once lacked and longed for the most.

In her carefree teenage years, her father, who was suddenly separated from heaven and earth, almost killed her, and she was so afraid that she lived in secluded places to avoid monsters, and the monsters who accompanied her all the time but were broken in front of her eyes... These are all her The important treasures that have been lost and even the rift in the heart.

Although the amnesia made her seem to have forgotten all the pain in the past, in fact they never disappeared.

Now that these treasures are all gathered together by accident, how can it not stir up waves in the bottom of my heart, so that the subconscious releases true emotions.

Happy and sad at the same time, other than his kind, there are others who can understand this feeling...

"Yu Li." Accompanied by a deep call, the god of death in black with a bronze complexion stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug his daughter, "I'm sorry."

"... Dad?" Yu Li was still a little dazed when suddenly hugged by his father.

But hearing her daughter's suspicious call, the voice of Death God trembled even more: "I'm sorry, Yu Li, I'm sorry..."

The father's embrace trembled just like his hoarse tone, and the emotions conveyed from it seemed to be contagious, making Yu Li, who was still wondering about his abnormality, suddenly feel more and more sad.

"...Dad...Woo...Dad...Woooo Dad, Dad! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Obviously don't know why, but the huge sense of grievance is overwhelming, pouring out from the bottom of my heart like a flood breaking a bank, wanting to vent it out.

Yu Li couldn't restrain this emotion anymore, she grabbed her father's clothes and yelled over and over again, hiding in his arms like a child and wailing loudly.

The author has something to say:
