The boy who suddenly appeared was named Eiji Hu Die.

After calming down, the Tomioka brothers and sisters who heard him introduce themselves hurriedly reported their names, and then invited him to a clean Japanese room for tea.

Of course, the young man's offer of compensation for the glass was rejected by them with great gratitude.

After lighting the lamp and serving tea, Yoshiyuki Tomioka was able to take a closer look at this mysterious boy.

He looked a few years older than Yoshiyuki, wearing a black uniform with a stand-up collar similar to a military uniform and a white-blue gradient haori, with an amiable face and a good look.

He is a bright person with a smile as bright as the sun.

Kneeling and sitting face to face with such a person, coupled with the kindness he had just saved them, made Tomioka Yoshiyuki, who is introverted and not good at getting along with others, unconsciously nervous, and asked with a cold expression (in fact, he was just at a loss). : "Why don't you drink tea?"

——It's delicious, the best tea in the house, and I'm preparing to entertain guests at the wedding tomorrow.

However, the strange thing is that as soon as he said this, the elder sister's expression froze for a moment, and even the young man was slightly taken aback, looking a little dazed.

Tomioka Tsutako hastily bowed and saluted in a panic: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Eiji! This kid didn't mean anything malicious, what he meant was..."

"Ah, I understand, you want me to drink this tea, right? You guys are interested, it smells really good!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Hu Dieyingji laughed heartily, and when she picked up the teacup, she glanced at him, her beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons, "I'm sorry!"

...?Feel sorry?Why say sorry to him?

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was at a loss and frightened, but when he saw his sister winking at him and his benefactor drinking tea with crooked eyes, he thought he understood what his sister meant, and said frankly: "It's very fragrant, because it's very fragrant. Expensive, I only bought two cans at home, and they will be used at my sister’s wedding tomorrow.”

"Puff—cough cough cough!!" Hu Die Yinger choked suddenly.

Sister Tiaozi's face turned red suddenly, she glared at him with hatred, and scolded him eagerly in a low voice: "Yiyong! What are you talking about!"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki: ...?He was just telling the truth—

"This, is this tea actually used in tomorrow's wedding?!"

Before he could figure out what went wrong, Hu Die Yinger said in shock, holding the teacup almost in awe, "No wonder Yiyong complained that I didn't drink it...Miss Tsutako, how can you be ashamed of such a good tea—— "

"No, no, Mr. Eiji, don't listen to Giyuu's nonsense! He never meant to blame you! You saved our lives, we can't thank you enough, how can you be stingy with two pots of tea?!"

Tomioka Tsutako interrupted the other party in a hurry, her cheeks were flushed with shame, she looked like she was about to cry because of this misunderstanding, and hurriedly pulled on Giyuu's sleeve: "Yiyuu! Hurry up to Mr. Eiji Apologies! Look at what you said!"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked indifferent (dumb).He knew that since his sister said so, then he must have done something wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what he did wrong, and his head was full of cold sweat, so he could only salute his sister in a dazed and flustered manner.

Eiji Hu Die looked at the siblings, especially Yoshiyuki Tomioka's clumsy but soft-hearted appearance, and stayed blank for three seconds.

"——Child Yiyong, it turns out that he is such a character!"

The boy's voice of sudden realization reached the ears of Tsutako and Yiyong.

Not mentioning the confused Giyuu, Tomioka Tsutako almost cried with joy: "Yes! Do you understand? Giyuu just doesn't know how to speak! He really doesn't have any malicious intentions!"

?Can't speak?him?

Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked at his sister with a dark (shocked and hurt) expression.

"I understand." Hu Die Yinger nodded deeply, and looked at Tsubaki with understanding and even pity eyes, "It must be hard work."

"Yes!!" Tomioka Tatsuko nodded dumbfounded.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "..."

My sister and benefactor, for some reason, suddenly stopped talking to him.

Too much.

After the absence of righteousness, the atmosphere of the conversation immediately became cheerful and relaxed (Yiyong:?). Seeing that the two siblings had come out of the shadow just now, Hu Dieyingji straightened his expression and began to introduce the word "ghost" to them. It is said that ghosts are afraid of sunlight and wisteria, and then there is...

"Is that the knife in your hand?" Giyuu, who had been listening silently, spoke again.

He had seen the benefactor's sword a long time ago - a quiet dark blue color, with beautiful silver cloud patterns on the blade, and an inspiring word engraved near the blade: [悪鬼打杀].

Such a special knife, like the uniform he wears, gives people a mysterious feeling of "that is another world".

So, is this the only knife that can kill that man-eating monster?

Hu Dieying Er heard the words and glanced at him, but he didn't answer his question, but asked instead: "You know this, what do you want to do?"

"I..." Tomioka Yoshiyuki was taken aback, and fell into a dumb and confused silence.

Seeing this, Hu Dieying Er smiled, and changed the topic as usual.

That night, Tomioka Tsutako entertained Eiji graciously and repeatedly begged him to stay at home.Hu Dieying'er politely refused but failed, so she could only agree with a helpless smile.

The next day, Tomioka Tsutako's wedding was held as usual even though such a terrible thing happened last night.

No, it should be said that it is precisely because of the misfortune that almost lost his life that he is more eager to welcome the upcoming happiness.

When the women in charge of grooming the bride came to the door, Eiji Hu Die was also ready to leave.Although Tomioka Tsutako repeatedly begged him not to bother, he still picked from the gifts he bought for his younger sisters, found a beautifully colored lip balm and gave it to her, and offered her his blessing .

Tomioka Tsutako gratefully accepted.

She put on the lip balm given by her savior, put on solemn black sleeves, and put on a high bun of Wenjin Shimada's hair. She bid farewell to her brother and benefactor who sent her to marry with tears, and went in a brocade sedan chair. The town where the groom lives.

Those were not tears of sadness, but tears of happiness and joy, as well as a trace of reluctance.

After watching the wedding procession leave, Hu Die Eiji looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka who was also in tears, and raised his hand to rub his head.

"What are you going to do next? I actually suggest that you find a job in the town where Miss Tsutako married. At your age, you can be an apprentice first, and then earn a living by yourself when you grow up. In this way, you can work with your sister Having a caregiver can prevent her from being bullied in the future."

Yoshioka Tomioka wiped away his tears, and shook his head quietly when he heard the words: "My sister married a gentle and considerate person, and I have nothing to worry about since I was a childhood sweetheart with her... I have already asked her to plant wisteria flowers at home. My sister is ingenious , she has grown the scallops very well before, and it will definitely be fine if it is replaced with wisteria."

It was the first time for this little boy to speak so many words, and Eiji couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then turned to look at Tiaoluo in the yard of Tomioka's house: "Your sister's name is Tiaozi, so it's Tiaoluo... Was it planted by the parents?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki nodded silently, and after a while, he added sullenly: "My mother died early, and my father passed away when I was young. My sister and I have always depended on each other and lived on my father's inheritance. Now that my sister is married, she was really was going to take me with her, but I told her this morning... said..."

It was rare for him to hesitate, and he turned his small head hesitantly, looking up at the boy who was more than a head taller than him.

In his still ignorant eyes, there is a soft light of admiration and dependence, like a scallop that must grow by climbing on pines and cypresses—that is Tomioka Yoshiyuki's own personality: immature, easy to be weak and dependent Others need someone with a firm mind to guide and correct them, otherwise they will easily fall into the past.

He is such a clumsy but gentle child. He is not good at expressing himself, but he regards other people's lives far more important than his own, so he is very easy to feel inferior.

...However, it is precisely because of this character that he can unleash unlimited potential and power in order to protect others.

"Please tell me how I can slay evil spirits like you."

Under Eiji's watchful eyes, the child who was still ignorant and weak last night clenched his palms tightly, his sea-blue deep eyes bravely looked directly at him, engraving his appearance in the deepest part of his eyes.

"I want to protect the happiness of a kind person like my sister with a knife!"

Hu Dieying stared at his eyes with lowered eyes, and after a while, she couldn't hear the emotion and asked: "Has it been decided?"

"Yes!"

"Even if you have to work out like hell for it?"

"Yes!"

"Even if you save a kind person, you will lose your own life?"

"Yes--!"

It was a louder answer than before.

As if he came back to his senses after shouting, Tomioka Yoshiyuki stood there in a daze, and after a few seconds, he suddenly pursed his lips without saying a word, and his ears turned red.

This is not surprising, even he understands to some extent that such beautiful words as "will sacrifice himself for others" are a bit ridiculous to be uttered by a weak self.

But Hu Die Ying Er has seen his determination.

"Awakening is good, but don't think about sacrificing yourself before you start."

He smiled again, raised his hand and rubbed the young man's fluffy hair, "Miss Tsutazi did not hesitate to use herself as bait to save you last night, this firm awareness is not for you to waste."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was startled, and looked up at his smile under the sky for a moment.

"You have to pass on what she passed on to you, Yiyong. She gave you hope and a future, so you should also give others hope and save their future. Before you can become that kind of person, I Will be responsible for protecting you and guiding you—"

"But you have to keep in mind at any time, you must continue to pass on what Miss Tiaozi and I have passed on to you. Do you understand?"

"Yes... yes!" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's ear tips protruding from the black hair became even redder, and the delicate red even spread to the roots of the ears and neck.

He responded nervously, but felt an unparalleled sense of security in his heart at this moment.

Because this person in front of him—this person who is as reliable and warm as the pines and cypresses and the sun—told him that he would definitely guide and protect him.

Then his twig, which can only rely on others to survive, will definitely respond to his expectations.

"Go to Sagiri Mountain to find an old man named Ryotaki Sakinji, and tell me that Eiji Hu Die introduced you."

At the time of parting, while exhorting Giyuu like this, I tied the wisteria flower sachet that I carried with me to him.

"I have to go on my way, so I don't have time to take you there. You must concentrate on training with Mr. Rinaki. If you are talented, we will see you again in a year."

After saying this, I patted him on the shoulder again, and smiled emotionally under his dependent eyes: "Come on, brave."

Yiyong nodded indifferently (I can vaguely tell that he is serious now), waved his hand at me, and said as if driving away: "Hurry up! Don't waste time!"

I want to say a few more words: "..."

Seriously, if I didn't know that you, a little fool, meant that I don't have to worry about you and go about my own affairs, I would definitely not be able to resist beating you—isn't this treating my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs? !

hateful.

... By the way, is his character really okay?

As the referrer, I was worried for a second, and then I put this matter behind me with a big heart.

Forget it, it will probably be fine when he grows up.Master Eiji, I am so popular, it is impossible to bring out a junior who everyone hates, right?

a ha ha ha.
