fictional spring

To be honest, Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi has actually hesitated for a long time whether to tell her the name "Oni Wu Tsuji Wu Mi", not only because the name has a special meaning to him, but also because... in the eyes of Mutsuki Ji, Wu Mi Just flawless from start to finish.

This is the "name" she personally gave him.

Perhaps until the day of her death, she could not accept the fact that Wu Mi became a "ghost", let alone accept...his name of "Ghost Dance Tsuji Wu Mi".

But Guiwu Tsuji told her the name completely. He heard the words flowing out of her mouth, and a slight smile appeared on the girl's slightly pale face.

In the end, it changed back to "Wu Mi".

Mostly accepted.Oni Wu Tsuji thought silently.

But Mu Yue Ji never called him that on weekdays, and it didn't seem like it was because of rejection—whether it was Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi or Wu Mi, she was rarely mentioned from her mouth.

The most commonly used address for her is "Miko-sama" who he disguised as.

I don't know why Onimai Tsuji became like this. The current Mutsuki Hime may have changed, so even her thinking and personality are different from before.

It is very difficult to see her thoughts clearly, and it is also not easy to understand his own mood. Even if he is sitting face to face with her like this, Guiwu Tsuji still does not feel that he has seen her clearly.

What does the real her look like in this body?

My thoughts suddenly returned to Heiankyo a long time ago. At that time, they used to be like this, sitting together in a warm Japanese room on a cold winter day, listening to the subtle burning sound of the charcoal in the brazier. Just raise your head a little. Seeing the other person's face, the tranquility and peace that emerged on her face has always been a distant place that Oni Wu Tsuji couldn't touch.

And at that time, it was not she who needed this warmth.

The physical weakness caused by the frailty of the body was once an inextricable knot in Wu Mi's heart, and it has been eating away at his reason like tarsal maggots for a long time, making his not-so-kind temper even more weird.

At the beginning, the family members felt pity for him because he was the youngest son in the family—even though Wu Mi never liked such pity.They were also worried about his physical condition, so they sought medical advice everywhere, prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha, but after a long time, who could maintain that sympathy as always?

So Wu Mi was thrown into a remote courtyard, those so-called family members came to visit him less and less, and the communication between them became weaker and weaker. When he was 20 years old, it was rare for anyone to see him once.

What's more... His love affair with Mu Yueji once made the whole family implicated.

That man would blame his most beloved daughter, but he would not do any actual harm to her, so that anger would only be transferred to other people - Wu Mi who was liked by her, and Wu Mi The Ubuyashiki family where he lived was the first to be vented.

So even when he saw her, even when he was the quietest... some kind of dark emotion would always creep into his heart silently.

That is the ugly heart called "jealousy".

In the past, Mutsuki Hime could always easily do things that others couldn't do, and she was able to reach realms that others couldn't touch at will. She was once the most famous noble lady in Heian-kyo, and she was once surrounded by the admiration of others.

Healthy body, outstanding talent, noble status...

What she has is exactly what Wu Mi desires most.

So he said in front of the current Mutsuki Hime, "There are people who are far more talented than me."

That said exactly her.

But Mu Yueji just looked at him quietly, with that look on her face, completely unaware that the person he was talking about was actually her.

Oni Wu Tsuji suddenly felt unable to face her. Seeing her ignorant and curious expression, she seemed to be really guessing about the person he was talking about, and seemed to be really imagining the "Miko-sama" in her eyes. The appearance of someone I have admired...

Oni Wu Tsuji couldn't stand it anymore.

He pretended that he was unwell, and even left her room as if he was running away.

I thought that I would get a moment of peace if I didn't see her anymore, but in fact, the influence she brought is far more than revealed when I face her, even if I stay alone in the room, those who have been killed by Gui Wuji The habit of throwing away Wu Mi, but being picked up again by her... was unknowingly engraved into the bones of Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi.

The reason why he realized this was that Mutsuki Hime came to his room on his own initiative.

She probed behind him with a cautious tone, just like a sapling that is about to emerge from its branches in early spring, soft and childish...

But at this moment, she called his name.

She asked him, "Wu Mi, what are you thinking?"

Oni Wu Tsuji also wanted to ask her like this - what are you thinking?

But he still held back, suppressed the questioning words, and talked with her as calmly as possible, asking her what she thought of other people.

Guiwu Tsuji Wucan should not have cared about her opinion of other people, but unexpected thoughts popped out from time to time, as if probing for something, asking her mind awkwardly and stiffly.

It's a very strange self, Oni Wu Tsuji thought miserably.

But Mutsuki Hime, who was sticking behind him, made people feel extremely familiar.

Ghost Mai Tsuji Mucan "reconciled" with her.

But this kind of relationship didn't last long. When he heard the news that Mutsuki Hime was going to marry to Kyoto, Onimai Tsuji's mind even went blank for a moment.He went to inquire about the news from the maids, and heard them tell him that Mu Yueji's marriage partner was also a weak nobleman like her.

For some reason, Guiwu Tsuji Wumi suddenly felt a little ironic.

But he didn't take the initiative to ask half a word, but waited for Mu Yueji to tell him personally - her voice was as calm as usual, and she didn't seem to have any resistance to this engagement.

Gui Wu Tsuji was speechless, he lowered his head in silence, and asked her after a while, "Did you agree?"

In fact, Oni Wu Tsuji knew the answer a long time ago.

Mutsuki Hime herself agreed to the marriage.

Not saying anything means acquiescing, Guiwu Tsuji suddenly felt ferocious anger in his heart, but it wasn't just for her—it was also for those who made this decision, her "family".

It is almost impossible for Onimai Tsuji to reflect on his own mistakes. More often than not, he will blame these crimes on others, because in his opinion, those who make mistakes will never know their mistakes.

So he needs to point it out.

As soon as such thoughts surfaced, they were suddenly dismissed by what she said.At the moment when she heard the question of leaving together came out of her mouth, Onimai Tsuji Wuyou couldn't care about anyone else anymore.

"Let's go together."

he said to her.

Get out of here together, to a place where there are only them.

Oni Wu Tsuji Mucan thought it was like this.

Even if she doesn't know his real identity now, she just thinks he is an ordinary witch.But as long as there is the right time, everything has a chance to be revealed.

But their ideas diverged.They clearly said the same words, looked at each other with similar eyes, but expressed completely different meanings after opening their mouths.

Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi suddenly didn't know what to do. It could almost be said that his confusion spread in his chest, and what he brought was a feeling of being at a loss that made him almost panic.

But at this moment, Onimai Tsuji suddenly remembered something—the feeling he had once had, wanting to do something for Mutsuki Hime.

For her, is marrying that person a must?

it's not true.

It was a rare time for Oni Wu Tsuji to figure out the correct answer. For her, marrying anyone is the same-this is the answer she told herself.

The emotions called joy and loss were mixed together, causing Guiwu Tsuji's heart to become distorted suddenly, and some kind of inexplicable obscurity came to his heart.

He did what he thought was the best thing to do.

Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi spoke in a calm voice and asked her if she wanted to hear her play the pipa. The treasure of the pipa named Xuanxiang was placed in Mutsuki Hime's room, and she used the excuse of going to her room to get the pipa , Guiwu Tsujiwu came to the city lord's courtyard quietly.

This is her current father, and he is also the human being who presumptuously accepted this marriage for her.

The moment I saw him, this man's figure seemed to overlap with a certain figure from many years ago, as if it were some kind of shadow that was difficult to get rid of, and the powerlessness of the Heian era was also clearly placed on the scene. in front of you.

But today's Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumi is no longer the one who has no resistance.

He stood condescendingly in front of the man, stretched out his hand to choke his neck, and injected his own blood before he could make a sound—the blood that belonged to ghosts entered his body, completely devouring human reason.

He turned the castellan into a ghost.

In Oni Wu Tsuji's view, this is the most convenient way - no ghost can disobey his order, it's just a matter of one sentence, and Mutsukihime's marriage is like a casual joke, voided.

Ignoring the woman who looked in through the crack of the door when he turned the city lord into a ghost, Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou, who had dealt with the matter and returned to the room, suddenly became enlightened, and even thought of asking her to hurry up and prepare suggestion.

Because that day will never come.Oni Wu Tsuji thought condescendingly.

At that moment, he looked at her as if looking down, which was the superiority of those who had grasped all the truth over the ignorant.

—You will thank me.

Ghost Mai Tsuji thought sincerely.

——Everything I do is for you.

So he asked about his position in her heart with great interest, and after getting an affirmative answer better than anyone else, the emotion that emerged from the bottom of his heart could even be called complacent.

Because everything is a "curse".

No matter how long it takes, no matter how he becomes, in Mu Yue Ji's heart, he will always be the most important one.

It should be like this...

Oni Wu Tsuji's affirmation did not last as long as he imagined - in the days when the water column in the Ghost Killing Squad arrived not long after, something he didn't want to see had appeared for the first time Clue.

Because "ghosts" appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, people began to disappear everywhere in the city.Oni Wu Tsuji Musan didn't care much about these things at all. It is true that the members of the Ghost Killing Squad were troublesome, but they were not something they couldn't handle.

So until the day when the swordsman from the Ghost Killing Squad arrived, he still didn't think there was any problem.

Until he went to find someone in Mu Yueji's room, only to learn that she had talked with that swordsman for a long time, and because of that person's words, he went to the city lord's yard to check the situation...

Probably something unexpected happened.Oni Wu Tsuji thought like this, and his mood darkened unknowingly.

His changes can always be clearly perceived by Mutsuki Hime, and I think of it belatedly, Kiwu Tsuji Mumi doesn't have much intention to hide it deliberately—maybe more is still the intention to test her reaction , he appeared in front of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad.

Human beings are naive and stupid creatures, and the Ghost Slayer Squad are just annoying bugs. Even if they stand in front of them, they can be ruled out of suspicion because of mimicry.

Even though the name he uses in front of others is still "Wu Mi", Shui Zhu of the Ghost Killing Team also denies that he is actually a ghost because of his female appearance and the aura of "ghost" that is deliberately hidden. The possibility of "Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumi" that the killing team has been looking for.

To be honest, although the Ubuyashiki clan has been following his tracks and trying to defeat him, in Onimai Tsuji's view, this series of actions are just small troubles - human swordsmen can't kill him, If it weren't for the Ubuyashiki clan being too cunning and good at hiding their whereabouts, I'm afraid the Demon Slayer Squad would have been wiped out by him long ago.

But this is not the moment when you need to care about the Ubuyashiki family, Onimai Tsuji Musai is more concerned about it, it should be Mutsuki Hime.

He watched the girl's face become paler due to what happened recently, and suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to end it as soon as possible.

After dealing with everything here, they can take her away, and they will never return to this place, even if Mu Yueji will feel a little bit of blame for him, it will definitely not last for too long.

As long as a few years passed, she would forget these things that she didn't really care about at all. Mutsuki Hime, who was used to her new life, could even ignore the possibility of thinking about these things.

And at that time, no one else will bother them again.

They will hold a wedding ceremony after the Spring Festival and when Mutsuki arrives, and the unfulfilled promise in the past will become a reality now...

Just when Oni Mai Tsuji thought so, he came to the castellan's room, gave him more blood, and watched the irrational ghost eat his wife and servants on a snowy day when there was no sun , and also watched the water column of the Ghost Slayer Squad come from the courtyard next door.

For the next thing, he no longer needs to continue to participate for half a point.

Oni Wu Tsuji returned to his room, and stood at the door waiting for Mutsuki Hime to wake up. His eyes fell on the barrier door across the courtyard, but his mood was rarely relaxed.

Everything is coming to an end.he thinks.

There is no need to face her in this disguised witch appearance, and there is no need to cater to the so-called "friend" game anymore. After everything here is settled, he can go to the new residence with her.

Such a future gradually emerged in Oni Wu Tsuji's mind. He had also considered Mutsukihime's physical condition, but these were not issues worth caring about, as long as she gave her his own blood—to turn Mutsukihime into a ghost , everything can be easily solved.

Just as she accepted his name of "Onimai Tsuji Mumi", she must also accept his blood.

They will also be by each other's side for hundreds of thousands of years to come.

In the past hundreds of years, Onimai Tsuji has never been punished in any way.Gods don't exist, he thought, and the so-called "God's punishment" of the Ubayashiki family is just the result of their self-righteousness.

What Mutsuki Hime looks like now is just a coincidence.

And his appearance is precisely to change all this.

Genji, who had turned into a ghost, ran to Mutsukihime's yard in embarrassment, and asked him for help timidly and greedily. Kimai Tsuji embraced Mutsukihime beside him, and asked her what she thought in a soft voice.

He was probably smiling.Onimai Tsuji Muyou stared at the reality created by him from above, lowered his head slightly, and pressed Mutsukihime's forehead with a bright mood.

She should be happy now too.Guiwu Tsuji has no tragic thoughts.

From now on, she doesn't need to cater to anyone's ideas, and she won't be forced to do meaningless things anymore—no matter what she thinks, she should be happy.

But Mutsuki Hime's body began to tremble.

Such a change made Guiwu Tsuji Wumi stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment, he couldn't understand the reason for her reaction.

—Are you afraid?

Afraid of the so-called "ghost", or afraid of... him?

wrong.

No, no, no, Ghost Dance Tsuji Wuyou denied such a guess.

Mutsukihime should have had enough of this kind of life—she must have had enough of those human beings who, relying on their status as so-called family members, made decisions for her arbitrarily.

——Everything I did was to free her.

Guiwu Tsuji told herself that she didn't need anyone but him.

The existence of those people meant nothing to her.

But from the beginning to the end, from the time he personally killed her "father" and that annoying ghost hunter, until he said those words, it was like his one-man show - Mu Yueji didn't say a word , also did not respond.

When she raised her face, all Wu Mi saw was an extremely calm face without any expression.

There was obviously no anger or blame, but Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi suddenly had an illusion of almost panic, as if he was being condemned.

Because she asked why.

I didn't know how to answer, so Guiwu Tsuji asked her back. Although she had deliberately suppressed the churning emotions in her heart, the clues of those inexplicable complexities were still revealed in front of her.

Maybe he was explaining, at least Kiwu Tsuji thought so, she was the only one who could make him explain his approach and hope that the other party could understand him.

But Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi didn't know what happened to his explanation when it fell into her ears, because that person denied him.

She said his name word by word, and also said: "It shouldn't be like this."

Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou suddenly understood something.

He watched her pick up the sun wheel knife and use the sword technique she had never learned without any hindrance. The blade of the sun wheel knife passed before his eyes. The thing sharper than the blade came from her denial.

The man said he was wrong.

Oni Wu Tsuji's anger rose to the extreme in an instant, he didn't care what other people thought, and he didn't care about the annoying ghost killing team's entanglement, but every word she said, Oni Wu Tsuji It's hard not to listen to Wu Mi.

When the anger towards a person reaches a certain level, such feelings will change, and what is deeper than anger is hatred-almost just a moment, such a transformation has already occurred.

Guiwu Tsuji felt that she could always capture his thoughts quickly.

It was obviously she who was asking if Onimui Tsuji hated him, but it just gave Onitou Tsuji the feeling that she was the one who hated me.

In her opinion, everything he did for her was a mistake from beginning to end.

Unexpected demon slayers appear.

The swordsman who uses the breath of the sun has a deterrent power that Onimai Tsuji has never felt. The moment they fight, he has already noticed the opponent's ability.

Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi wanted to take her away with her, but the result was that his arm was cut off the moment he touched her.

At this time, he also saw the way she looked at him.

——Without the slightest nostalgia.

Rather than saying that she was afraid of this ghost killer team member she had never seen before, it was more like she was touched by her appearance, because she didn't know what to say or what to do. will run away.

Just like at that time before, Onimai Tsuji chose to escape again.

But she joined the ghost killing team, and even took over that person's position, becoming the new "Water Pillar".

Reading her appearance from the memory of his subordinates, Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou suddenly found that even if her thoughts were different from his own, even if she didn't approve of his actions at all... Guiwu Tsuji still wanted to keep her by his side .

But he didn't go to find her in person, but when he met Yue Zhu from the Ghost Killing Squad, he invited her to become a "ghost".

Even the "pillar" in the ghost killing team still has the possibility of becoming a ghost.

After confirming this fact, he brought her to him through Ji Guo Yan Sheng.

This is the residence he prepared for their future life. It is a mansion deliberately restored and imitated according to her former residence in Beijing. It is also the place chosen by Yuan Mutsuki.

Onimai Tsuji Mucan thought she would change her mind when she saw the mansion, but before hearing her speak, he saw something hanging from her earlobe.

It was the flower earrings that originally belonged to another person, the swordsman of Breath of the Sun.

She has already learned the breath of the sun from him, and got the flower earrings from him, thinking that Mutsuki Hime has changed to such an extent due to others, Onimai Tsuji Musai clenched uncontrollably fist.

——It's not fair.

he thinks.

Obviously the person who has been influencing him all the time, the person who made him look forward to, but now he is becoming more and more like another man...

Oni Wu Tsuji Wuyou couldn't accept this fact.

But he still restrained his thoughts of wanting to do something, and restrained the anger that was about to climb on his face.only……

Mutsuki Hime did the exact opposite.

She raised the Sun Wheel Knife towards him again, and the breathing method she used changed from water breathing to solar breathing.

very strong.This was Oni Wu Tsuji's first reaction.

The swordsman named Tsujikuni Enichi already possesses great strength, and Mutsuki Hime, who learned the Breath of the Sun from him, also has no less strength. A knife... without the slightest hesitation.

It's like... really wanting to put him to death.

Realizing this, Onimai Tsuji suddenly lost the ability to think, but when he realized it, he found that he had slit her throat.

Why... did it become like this?

Guiwu Tsuji was silent for a long time. He didn't know why Mutsuki Ji, who was clearly in the upper hand, was lying on the ground covered in blood at this moment, and he didn't understand what kind of mood he was holding to drip blood on her bloody body. neck, he just felt...

Even if they hate each other, he still wants to keep her by his side.

Even if they hate each other, they should last forever.
