save the lost girl

The sun was very bright that day, and the light orange color reflected the whole fish pond shimmering with lingering waves, and the golden carp in it also swung their tails very freely.The warm sun seeped through the window sill and shone into the cold room, as if feeling the warmth, Sakai Mirai's closed eyes moved and slowly opened.

Just after waking up, Sakai Mirai is still a little ignorant, there is no pain that has been precipitated by time in the black pupil, only the cleanliness of a newborn.But soon, Sakai Mirai, who was awake, put a thick barrier on her pupils again, she blinked her pupils, and then sat up on the bed.

Sakai Mirai stretched out his hand, staring at his outstretched five fingers with deep black pupils, weak and powerless hand, weak body, it turned out that she had already reached such a point.

Mirai Sakai was still wearing the crimson feather, sitting in the corridor looking at the lively carp in the pool, his pale face was slightly rosy under the light orange sunlight, and his black pupils seemed to be dyed warm. Meaning, quiet and long.

"Master Sakai." Footsteps came, and someone was sitting some distance away from Mirai Sakai, and Patriarch Tsuchimikado's old voice came, "May I ask if this place suits your needs? Are you well-trained?"

After being in a coma that day, she just woke up today, she nodded: "Not bad, very quiet." It is suitable for her to cultivate here until she is almost recovered.

Then Mirai Sakai suddenly thought of the boy from Tsuchimikado whom she saw on a busy day, and she asked, "Did the child from that day...belong to Masahiro's name?"

The head of the Tuyumen family smiled and said: "Yes, that child is very talented." The tone was full of emotion, which was enough to see the expectations he and the entire Tuyumen family placed on the child who inherited the name of the ancestor, "We hope that he Can be like the ancestors of Changhao."

Sakai Mirai turned his head to stare at the red carp that had been swimming in front of her, and said softly, "Like Changhao...it really looks like that child." That huge spiritual power, and those clear eyes His eyes, that simple and straightforward heart - they all resemble that former child, Masahiro Abe, Seimei's grandson.

"Master Sakai, in fact, he shouldn't have appeared in this world." Patriarch Tsuchimikado, who was quietly basking in the sun with Mirai Sakai, said suddenly.

"Ah, yes." The mild sunlight was very warm, but Sakai Mirai felt a little sad in his heart, "Hundreds of years ago, the node of time and space appeared. Since then, the world has produced two branch lines. Although the two sub-worlds With the same past, but a different future, the two sub-worlds have been unable to connect since then, just like the world I live in has no Nuragumi, and the Tsuchimikado family has disappeared, so there is no 'I' in this world. ’, and there is no future that I am familiar with.”

If it wasn't because of this world, because of the bifurcation of nodes, it would be impossible for Sakai Mirai to come to this world as an outsider.Sakai Mirai can only go forward along the initial timeline, but cannot turn back, so every time she leaves is a farewell, otherwise she would have ignored the timeline and returned to Heianjing, but she can't—she can only keep going go forward.

"So Sakai-sama..." Patriarch Tsuchimikado hesitated to speak. As a descendant of Abe Seimei, from Abe Seimei's records and letters, he naturally knew how deep the friendship between Sakai Mirai and Abe Seimei was.

"That's right... After this farewell, there will be no connection with Seimei or Tsuchimikado." Sakai Mirai said lightly, she stretched out her hand to block her eyes, as if the sunlight was dazzling enough she weeps.

Maybe it's a cover-up, maybe it's reckless, the black pupils full of crystals slipped from the corners of the eyes, Sakai Mirai thought, maybe the sun is too glaring, otherwise why would she cry?

Patriarch Tsuchimikado had already left at some point, Mirai Sakai sat alone on the promenade, as if watching the years go by like this.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps stepping on the wooden floor, and it could be heard that the person coming was very anxious and nervous: "Master!" California Qingguang ran over from the other side of the corridor with a very hasty expression.He just went to fetch food and came back but found that Mirai Sakai was gone. Although he knew in his heart that there was nothing to worry about in Tsuchimikado's house, he still hurried out to look for her. I have to say, when he saw Mirai Sakai sitting quietly on the porch At that time, California Qingguang was relieved.

"Master, why did you run outside? You don't wear any more clothes." California Qingguang's tone was rarely reproached. Although Sakai Mirai wore a haori outside, California Qingguang was still worried that she would catch cold because of it. After all, she is not in good health now.

As soon as Sakai Mirai heard California Kiyomitsu's voice, she raised her face and wanted to say something, but the next moment she was startled by the sudden increase of weight on her shoulders, the extra haori on her body had warm body temperature and the tip of her nose The familiar aura strongly bears the aura of Haori's master.

Mirai Sakai suddenly became speechless, and after a long while, she said helplessly, "Qing Guang, you really don't have to worry about me, the weather is fine today."

California Qingguang glanced at the bright sunshine, curled his lips, and said, "Master, you are too weak now."

It was obvious that he didn't want to pay attention to her words, Sakai Mirai could only sigh when he saw this, he gathered the haori on his body and didn't speak anymore, he just patted his side and motioned for Kali Qingguang to sit down.

California Qingguang was already thinking of finding some reason to stay, so he would not refuse at this time, and sat down straightforwardly.Then he looked at Mirai Sakai's quiet profile, hesitant to speak.

Mirai Sakai asked softly, "Qing Guang, do you want to go back?"

Sakai Mirai's sudden question made California Qingguang a little surprised, he asked slightly hesitantly: "...Go back?" Where to go back?

"Well, yes, go back. Go back to the world where you were born." Sakai Mirai tilted his head and looked at the black-haired and red-eyed knife-wielding boy beside him.

"Huh?" California Qingguang tilted his head in confusion, his red pupils were bright, he looked at Mirai Sakai, "Then does the master want to go back?"

Sakai Mirai was stunned, a little puzzled why California Qingguang would ask this question, she turned her eyes and stared at the carp in the pond for a long time, until California Qingguang thought he might have asked the wrong question, she said softly: "Maybe Yes... want to go back." The voice was very soft, very soft, as if the wind could easily blow it away.

Even that era is still a strange era to her, but that place...is the past of the world she lives in after all—the past that many people have created together, with an infinitely extended future—that There is a future in which she was born.

It’s just that California Qingguang still heard clearly, so he shrugged, put his hands back, leaned half of his body back, looked at the sun above his head, and said, “Then I want to go back too.” There is nothing wrong with it, the important thing is that wherever the master is, he will be there - no matter which world or where.

Where there is Mirai Sakai, there is Kiyomitsu of California.

It's just that Mirai Sakai, who was in a trance at this time, didn't hear the indifference in California Qingguang's tone, and couldn't hear his intentions, so she just thought, that's great, Qingguang also hopes to go back, then...she It's not like I did something wrong, right?

The Onmyouji family will naturally have a unique way of self-cultivation, and the Tsuchimikado family is no exception. There are still places where spiritual energy can be gathered. With the relationship between Sakai Mirai and Tsuchimikado, Sakai Mirai can withstand a large amount of spiritual power in the body. When I entered, I went to the holy land of Tuyumen's family for self-cultivation.

It is also the special situation of Sakai Mirai. If ordinary people use the forbidden spell that overdraws their vitality like her, they will age quickly and die soon, or die immediately after the effect of the forbidden spell is exhausted.It's just that Mirai Sakai is not an ordinary human being in simple terms. Time has stopped on her body, so she doesn't see the side effect of overdrawing her vitality at all.

It's just that it doesn't mean that she can use this forbidden curse indefinitely. Although she didn't see it on the surface, it hurt the foundation after all, and a hidden danger was planted in her body. Maybe it will explode one day in the future, maybe never .

After negotiating with the laws of this world, Sakai Mirai, who was able to stay in this world for a while, could barely recover more than half of her strength. If she was given a few more years, she could fully recover, but the tolerance of the world is limited.

"Then, Sakai-sama, goodbye." Patriarch Tsuchimemon led the core staff of Tsuchiyamen, and said goodbye to Mirai Sakai.

Sakai Mirai was still wearing the crimson haori, with California Kiyomitsu beside him.

Mirai Sakai smiled slightly: "Well, goodbye, Seimei's descendant." Before leaving, she said a word to the child named "Chang Hao", "May you one day understand the name 'Chang Hao' meaning.” That is Seimei’s education and expectations given to Abe Masahiro—it is not the hope of becoming the most powerful onmyoji, nor the hope of becoming Abe’s family.

Without needing any extra words, Mirai Sakai turned around without looking back.

Even if they both know that once they say goodbye this time, they will never see each other again.

The author has something to say:

Hahaha, I feel that I wrote very fast today, and sure enough, once I write about the future and Qingguang, I will not be able to restrain the power of the prehistoric! 233333

This chapter leaves the world of slippery ghosts. By the way, it explains clearly that this world is the same as the future source world, and the reason why the future, which can only follow the timeline, can come to this world.

The next chapter is to go back to the end of the curtain, and meet the Souji who looks like a child! 2333333 As for how Qingguang was wiped out by the future, and how he became the chief's sword... Well... In order not to be beaten, I still won't talk about it!

ok~ see you tomorrow
