[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

When Reiko and Kuro Seimei returned to the courtyard together, Bai Seimei, Yuan Hiroya, and Kagura were already waiting there.

Seimei's courtyard was once destroyed by Hei Seimei during the reversal of Yin and Yang in Heian-kyo. Although it has been cleaned up now, traces of damage can still be seen.

But these minor damages are much better than Heianjing, which is almost in ruins now.

At this time, the sky above Heianjing was filled with snake shadows all over the sky; the streets and alleys in the city were cracked, and snakes danced together.

Bai Qingming's memory is almost recovered, and he has no time to worry about the entanglement in his heart, but strode up to Hei Qingming: "There is no time, Yamata no Orochi is about to break out, we must join hands It kills! Where's the fragment of the Kusanagi sword?"

"Are you ordering me?" Hei Qingming still instinctively attacked Bai Qingming.

"I don't know what the original 'Abe Seimei' would think, but as far as I am now, I have to protect Heian-kyo—this is my mission." Bai Qingming no longer wavered.

Hei Qingming smiled ironically: "What will 'Abe Seimei' do? I'm afraid that while wishing for the death of the people in Heianjing, they will save people in a dignified way."

Bai Qingming can't refute, or the real "Abe Seimei" is such a contradictory community. He obviously hates the corruption of Heian-kyo, but he has to perform his duties.

It is precisely because Abe Qingming hates such a hypocritical self deep in his heart that Hei Qingming hates Bai Qingming so much.

Sometimes Bai Qingming is really envious of Hei Qingming, who can act recklessly and live such a real life.

If you like Reiko, then say it and make it out; if you hate Heiankyo, then just tear it down and destroy it.

Bai Qingming couldn't do this, because there were too many things in his heart.

If it really merges, I hope "Abe Seimei" can live a more real life.

Bai Qingming took out the fragments of the Kusanagi sword he got from the puppeteer: "Let's start."

In order to ease the atmosphere, Reiko took out the three fragments she had collected—one from Jiaotu, the girl in the box, and the other side flower.

Kuro Seimei glanced at Reiko, and threw the fragments from Atsuta Shrine and Ichimokuren in his hand into the air.

The six fragments shone with a dark light, attracted each other, and finally gathered together.In the blurred halo, the fragments that merged with each other gradually elongated, and finally turned into the shape of a sword.

"Hmm!" During the fusion process, Kagura who was watching suddenly covered his head in pain and fell down, Yuan Boya caught her in a panic.

"Kagura, are you okay? Kagura?" Boya carefully held Kagura, as if it was a delicate and fragile object.

Kagura shook his head in pain, but couldn't say a word, only beads of sweat continued to emerge from his forehead.

"Kagura, she died when the seal was completed as a sacrifice. Now it is the fragments of the Kusanagi sword that support Kagura's continued activities, and it is also the soul of Yamata no Orochi."

Reiko's mind came up with what Aaron had said to her.

The fusion of the Kusanagi sword also attracts the fragments in Kagura's body. The survival instinct and the Kusanagi sword fragments are constantly pulling, which is why Kagura appears to be in such pain.

"Seimei, the Requiem Curse!" Reiko said quickly after reacting.

Bai Qingming immediately put two fingers together, put them to her lips, and recited the spell.

Blue circles of light fell on Kagura's body, calming down the restless fragments.

Kagura's painful expression slowly eased, and Boya appeared in front of him anxiously: "Brother..."

Yuan Boya looked at Kagura in disbelief: "You...what did you call me?"

"Brother..." Kagura's memory had recovered when Kuro Seimei destroyed Heian-kyo, and after that she even met Arara secretly and learned about her mission.

Huang told her that there would be a person named Natsume Reiko to help her defeat Yamata no Orochi, but this did not guarantee that she would survive.

Therefore, there is no need for Boya to know that she is his sister.

Gaining and losing again is much more painful than a single loss.

However, Kagura, who was temporarily in a trance due to the shock of his soul, still shouted out those two words buried in his heart in that gentle and inconceivable embrace.

Brother, her elder brother of Kagura.

.

The first time Kagura and Boya met was during the cherry blossom season.

At that time, Kagura was only four years old, with a round face, short limbs, and a cute little milk voice.

A son of the royal family is about to become a member of the Genji family, and then her older brother.

Brother, what kind of creature is it?

Will he have the same dignified face and piercing beard as his father?

Little Kagura curiously hid behind the cherry tree, poked his head out and peeked at the heroic boy who was a head shorter than his father.

"Kagura, come out, it's impolite to hide behind and peek!" Father's dissatisfied voice came over, and Kagura could only walk in front of his father slowly.

"This is Minamoto Hiroya. From today onwards, he will be your older brother, so we must get along well." Father rubbed Kagura's hair, exhorting him like this.

Kagura raised her head, looked at Boya, who was much taller than her, and called out in a soft voice: "Brother."

Boya's face turned red in an instant, and she was at a loss for a moment: "You, hello!"

Kagura instantly felt that the new "brother" was very funny, and couldn't help but want to tease him: "My name is Yuan Kagura, brother, hug!"

Boya looked at Kagura's arm stretched out to him, and looked at Patriarch Genji as if asking for help, but Patriarch pretended not to see anything at this time, and looked at the scenery leisurely.

Boya could only helplessly turn his gaze back to Kagura, who knew that Kagura was pursing his mouth at this time, with an extremely aggrieved look: "Brother doesn't like Kagura."

"No! I, I like Kagura." God knows, this is the first time Boya has expressed his "like" so bluntly since he can remember.

"Hug!" Kagura weighed his toes, bringing his arms closer to Boya.

Boya had no choice but to carefully hug Kagura.

He received aristocratic education since he was a child, and he dabbled in martial arts, music, and literature, but he spent the longest time and also liked archery with a knife.

This was Boya's first contact with such a soft creature, and he was afraid that as long as he exerted force, Kagura would be crushed.

"Hehehe!" Kagura sat on Boya's shoulder without hesitation, "Brother, I'm going to see the cherry blossoms!"

Boya protected Kagura and walked towards the blooming cherry tree. While walking, Kagura patted Boya on the back, as if he was riding a horse.

The wind blew, and the petals of the cherry blossoms rubbed against Boya's skin, and slowly fell to the ground, with Kagura's innocent laughter in my ears.

The light fragrance of cherry blossoms and the milky fragrance of Kagura's body are mixed together, nourishing Boya's heart.

Boya felt the slight weight on his body, and sincerely felt that this kind of life might not be bad.

.

"Kagura, you are really Kagura, my sister, right?" Boya hugged Kagura with excitement on his face.

Although Boya already knew that Kagura was probably his sister, but it was never confirmed, so he always had the mood of worrying about gains and losses.

After all...everyone told him his sister was dead.

Kagura, who was completely awake, turned his head a little uncomfortably: "Brother idiot."

"It really is Kagura, isn't it? Only Kagura will always call me that. Really, I was so cute when I was a child..." Boya complained with a smile, but couldn't help tears from his eyes, "Seimei! What kind of broken yard are you? , Why is there so much dust! You see, it makes me lose my eyesight."

"Don't bully Qingming!" Kagura broke free from Boya's arms, and threw herself on Bai Qingming.

Boya awkwardly maintained a hugging posture, looking at Bai Qingming's eyes that were about to burst into flames: "An, Bei, Qing, Ming!"

Bai Qingming pretended not to feel Boya's anger, and embraced Kagura in his arms.

Kagura is very distressing, but at the same time very strong.

Much stronger than anyone imagined.

.

Nine-year-old Kagura was chosen as a sacrifice, and people locked her in a special room.

The house is not simple, but built according to the specifications of a princess. There will be someone in it who will take care of Kagura's daily life, but all the servants are forbidden to communicate with Kagura.

The only person who can talk to Kagura is Abe Seimei who is in charge of teaching Kagura Onmyoji.

"So, as long as I sacrifice, I can protect everyone in Heian-kyo, right?" After panicking at the beginning, Kagura gradually calmed down and listened to all the ins and outs.

Seimei still had the image of Kagura curled up in a ball, trembling and crying, feeling very guilty in his heart.

He actually has two choices, Reiko and Kagura.It's just that in the end he chose to protect Reiko, so the one who sacrificed could only be this nine-year-old child.

"If you don't want to, just refuse it. I'll think of other ways." Qingming frowned slightly as he slapped his fan on his palm.

At that time, Qingming didn't know the real purpose of offering sacrifices, so she was still struggling and hesitating in her heart.

He looked down on those nobles who used a child to survive, but he didn't dare to use the fate of the entire Heian capital as a bet.

"It's very distressing, isn't it? It's okay. I will study Yin Yang well and seal Yamata no Orochi. If I can save my father, brother, and Seimei by sacrificing myself, I'll be fine."

Kagura's firm gaze also illuminates Seimei's inner filth—he, too, is one of those people who live a life of mediocrity.

After living for so long, it is even better than the last child.

Seimei couldn't help laughing at himself.

He rubbed Kagura's head: "Trust me, there will be a way."

"Well, I believe Seimei." Kagura looked at Seimei and smiled.

Then, in the sealing ceremony two years later, Kagura finally became a container to receive the power of Yamata no Orochi.

And when he was about to die, he came back to life by relying on the fragments of the Kusanagi sword.
