until the end

Tsurumaru narrowed his eyes slightly, his golden eyes seemed a little hazy at the moment.

The surrounding is very lively, and everyone seems to be very happy, but...he slightly shakes the wine glass in his hand and looks around.

strangeness.

He inexplicably felt a sense of distance.

Although the distance has become so close, the surroundings are no longer as silent as before, and everyone looks happy, but he still feels... a little lonely.

Suddenly, Tsurumaru snorted lightly, shook his head slightly, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and stood up.

Sure enough, it was the illusion caused by a group of people who gathered around him to drink with him just now... Otherwise, how could he have such an idea.

Tsurumaru looked up at the full moon in the sky, and stretched slowly.

Obviously before...he was looking forward to such a life.

Everyone's faces are no longer numb and cold, but Honmaru is full of laughter, sometimes he comes to do some pranks and make some splashes...he always thinks so.

If there is such a place.

That was where he wanted to be.

Tsurumaru looked around again, and sighed softly, "Is this the so-called ruthlessness of time...?" He felt a little alienation inexplicably, could it be because he really left for too long...

Tsurumaru's gaze unconsciously began to search for someone's figure.

"Mr. Crane." Suddenly, he was patted on the shoulder.

Tsurumaru turned around abruptly, and habitually touched his waist with his hand. Only then did he realize that the knife was not on his body after changing into the inner uniform. At the same time, he also saw the person behind him clearly.

Tsurumaru instantly relaxed, "What, it's Kobo!" His hand stiffened, and he put it down quietly.

There was still a bit of surprise on Candlestick Kiri's face, he didn't look at Tsurumaru's momentary movements just now.

"Mr. Tsuru..." Candlestick Kiri looked at Tsurumaru worriedly, "You... haven't you forgotten..." After speaking, Candlestick Kiri saw Tsurumaru's stiffened expression, and immediately realized his mistake.

"I'm sorry... Tsuru-san, I..." Candlestick Kiri was about to say something when he saw Tsurumaru wave his hand slightly towards him.

"It's nothing...don't worry about it, it would be better to say, it would be strange if you forgot about it!" Tsurumaru crossed his arms and leaned gently on the wooden pillar beside him.

The atmosphere around the two of them suddenly became strange.

Fortunately, the direction he walked just now was far away from the banquet, and no one would notice this side... Tsurumaru thought in his heart.

Otherwise, it would be bad to ruin such a beautiful scenery... Sure enough, it was a mistake to drink!He wouldn't have said that...

When Tsurumaru was about to say something to fool him, the Candlestick who had been silent all this time cut his mouth.

"Mr. Tsuru's mood... I can understand a little bit, I didn't think of it for a while... I'm really sorry." Candlestick Kiri looked at Tsurumaru with a doubtful face seriously and said.

Without giving Tsurumaru a chance to speak, Candlestick Kiri continued, "I also appeared in Honmaru later... At the beginning, I thought...it was strange, everyone seemed happy, I felt They are all full of... hope for the future, but I can't, as soon as I close my eyes, the past memories start to be entangled, I feel a sense of distance, and the excitement when we first met is also from the heart."

Tsurumaru showed some surprised looks, unexpectedly... not only he felt this way.

Candlestick cut continued to talk with a calm expression, "But not long after, Master Li Xia talked to me." He watched the brightly lit and bustling banquet not far away, and said softly, "Master Li Xia said to me, She can't empathize with my feelings, but she understands one thing."

"Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the companion." Candlestick Kiri turned to look at Tsurumaru, seeing Tsurumaru's expression that seemed to understand something, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he happened to see Tsurumaru going out, otherwise... Candlestick Kiri smiled wryly in his heart. According to Mr. Tsuru's personality, he might be persistent on this matter for a long time!

He understands that Tsurumaru Kuninaga's sword, although always showing a casual and lively appearance, is actually delicate in mind and very reliable in important matters.

But...maybe it's because of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's past of wandering around, where he returns...for him, it's also important!

At least that's what Candlestick thinks.

But... Candlestick Kiri looked at Tsurumaru who had thought of something and became a little tangled, with a smile in his eyes.

"If Mr. Crane really doesn't understand, why don't you ask that adult!"

Candlestick Kiri looked at Tsurumaru's eyes that looked over instantly, and said to him seriously——

"After all, to Mr. He, that big man is important!"

Just like the meaning of Lisha-sama to him.

--------

Fell asleep.

Jing Yecha looked at Xiaobai who was curled up on his lap and felt sorry.

Although she didn't know what Xiaobai was, but if it wasn't for her, Xiaobai wouldn't have become... like this.

Sleep is a situation that occurs to replenish energy. Of course, it does not mean that sleep is caused by insufficient energy, but it is indeed the case in Xiaobai.

Xiaobai will not waste time on unnecessary things, the current sleep is indeed replenishing the lost energy.

"If it wasn't for me..." Jing Yecha couldn't help but whispered while touching Xiaobai's smooth fur.

"because of you?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, Jingye Chashun turned around and saw Tsurumaru as expected.

"Why are you here?" Seeing the person who was supposed to be the protagonist of the banquet appear, Jing Yecha was surprised and changed the subject accordingly.

Tsurumaru raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to change the subject, it's okay, he will know one day.

"I always felt a little strange, so I came to you!" Tsurumaru shrugged and sat down in front of her.

Jing Yecha didn't quite understand this logic, she expressed why it was me with her eyes, and looked at Tsurumaru.

"You pulled me out and made a contract with me. If you don't look for me, who else can I look for?" Tsurumaru rested his head on his hands and looked straight at Jing Yecha.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Jing Yecha spoke first, "Okay! What do you want to say?"

Tsurumaru tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned to look at Jing Yecha and said seriously, "I'm looking for my home."

"And then?" Jing Yecha was very calm, but she felt a little... lost.

Sure enough, Tsurumaru felt that Honmaru was his home, but he accidentally concluded a contract with her, so he was troubled!

But he can rest assured that she is not the kind of forceful person, if he wants to stay, it is only natural, she will not do anything.

Just... a little lost.

"I don't understand...what kind of feeling is the feeling of finding a home?" Tsurumaru's eyes revealed a little bewildered.

Jing Yecha paused for a moment, she raised her eyes to look into Tsurumaru's golden eyes, and said with a little hesitation, "Home... I am also... looking for this kind of thing." She saw Tsurumaru felt a little uncomfortable with his focused eyes, but continued on.

"But once... I had a place that I was very attached to and wanted to take as my home." Jing Yecha clenched his hands slightly.

"A person once told me that if there is a place that makes you feel very comfortable, very warm, and there is even a feeling that it doesn't matter if it stays like this all the time, that is nostalgia."

"And a place that can be called a home must be nostalgic...at least that's what I think."

Tsurumaru looked at Jing Yecha who looked a bit lonely, and asked inexplicably, "And then?"

"Ok?"

"Your home, have you found it?"

Looking into Tsurumaru's eyes, Keinocha answered him in a strange way.

"No, it's gone!"

"I'm sorry..." Seeing Jing Yecha's slightly bitter expression, Tsurumaru came back to his senses in an instant, and realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked.

Jing Yecha shook her head to indicate that she didn't care, she had never told anyone about these things like this, but...in fact, it's okay to talk about it.

Although she still feels the pain, maybe if she talks too much, it will gradually disappear!

"That person told me that this is not where I belong." That's right, that sentence that I couldn't hear clearly when I was young, now that I think about it, it is indeed the case.

Jing Yecha looked straight at Tsurumaru, "If one day, you really find a place that you think you can take as your home, Tsurumaru, you must take good care of it." This is her suggestion as someone who has experienced it.

"...It sounds like you really have to work hard!"

"That's right, if you don't take good care of it, it will be very painful. How happy you are when you are together, it will be double the pain when you lose it."

"...What about you?" Tsurumaru leaned closer to Jing Yecha, looked at her and asked.

Jing Yecha looked at Tsurumaru's clear golden eyes and shook his head slightly.

"I'm still in pain." Jing Yecha asked Tsurumaru, "You are the same too! The pain of being entangled in past memories."

Tsurumaru was taken aback, then suddenly smiled.

"Until just now." Tsurumaru stepped back slightly, looking at Jing Yecha's puzzled expression.

He seems to understand that for Candlestick Kiri, Master Lisha is his home, but for Tsurumaru Kuninaga...his home seems to have been found.

It's strange that there is no sense of distance beside Jing Yecha. Is this the so-called co-production?

Maybe it's because she's the one who found him, maybe it's because of the contract, but either way, it's all he really has, so...

It is not surprising that Zhenhe Maru Kuninaga, who has these emotions, thinks that Jingyecha is the home.

He looked at Jing Yecha, who still had the word "confused" on his face, and smiled brighter.

He will remember it well.

He will stay by her side well.

For..... no regrets!
