The moment she came out of the space-time tunnel, the dazzling sunlight made her raise her sleeve subconsciously to cover it, and then she saw the figure waiting not far away.

"..." Putting down her hands, the girl with a slightly complicated mood looked at him, then turned her head to the side.

——Although she was not so angry anymore, she still felt a little depressed seeing this guy's innocent expression.

But the next moment she thought about it, she saw a hand stretched out in front of her. She lowered her eyes and looked up along that hand. It was the smiling face of the young man.

Those warm eyes that seemed to melt into the sunlight looked at her quietly, as if they knew everything, "Let's go."

She bit her lip, put her hand on it, and was clenched as usual.

The two walked slowly towards the mansion where Giotto lived, without saying anything along the way, a bit too quiet, but not awkward, as natural as if they had been walking like this for many years, Tao raised her head and looked Looking at his side face and sensing her gaze, Giotto turned his head, and then seemed to suddenly realize that he had ignored her.

"A little bit nervous..." he said, with a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, "unknowingly...sorry——"

--nervous?

She looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you nervous?"

"Hmm..." He pondered for a moment, "You'll find out after a while."

--Um?Mysterious, isn't it just a gift?

She looked at him with a little dissatisfaction, but at least she had the patience not to continue asking, and Giotto was not used to Tao's rare obedience.

"Barrettes are nice."

"Of course, it was sent by Qingguang~"

"The brooches are cute too."

"This is a gift from Wuji."

"Bracelet……"

……

The awkward chat didn't last long, and just when Tao couldn't help complaining, they finally arrived home.

——How nervous is this guy?Along the way, he said some inexplicable things.

Tao looked at the gate that was not different from usual with a little concern, and then looked at Giotto who had stopped, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Let's go in." Exhaled a long breath, the young man who seemed to be mentally prepared closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression had become very calm and calm. He walked forward, pushed open the door, and smiled He reached out and made a please gesture.

Looking at him inexplicably, Tao stepped forward, then turned to look at him belatedly, "Where are you going?"

"Ah, it's Miss Peach~"

A brisk and melodious girl's voice suddenly came out from the room. Tao turned around suspiciously, and saw a little girl who had grown a lot taller than before running out, with short ear-length hair. Shaking by her cute cheeks, she ran forward and grabbed Tao's sleeve, then looked at Giotto with a smile on her head, "Mr. Sawada, my sister asked me to entertain Miss Tao, you can go first~"

Giotto froze for a moment, then laughed and nodded, "Then I will trouble you, Xiao Ling."

He looked at the girl who was wondering, reached out and stroked her head lightly, "Come in with Xiaoling, see you later."

"Huh?" The girl who was still dazed but had already been led inside by the lively little girl couldn't help but look back, and saw Giotto still standing there watching the back of them leaving, and met her eyes, he He smiled and waved to her.

So what the hell is it? It is said that she was asked to come here to receive gifts, but somehow it turned into being asked by Yingzi to take care of the children?

Tao's eyes followed Xiaotuanzi who had walked steadily, and the chubby figure swaying from side to side because of wearing a thick winter coat was running around on his own, but 300 years appeared in his mind. The face of the little ghost named Gujiji Hayato in the back.

——It’s unimaginable

"Eh? Be careful!" Seeing the little guy walking to the side of the corridor, he suddenly lay down on his stomach and stretched out his chubby hand as if he was about to grab something, Tao hurriedly stepped forward to hug him back, "Really, what if I fall? Do it?"

She stretched out her finger and poked the fleshy cheek, but was grabbed by the little guy.

"Hua, Huahua~" He opened a pair of big reddish-brown eyes, waving his little finger and pointing in the direction he was in before.

"Flowers?" Tao looked in the direction he was pointing in doubt, and then froze.

It was still early spring, and the peach blossoms that should have bloomed when it was slightly warmer had already bloomed silently, and Kazuki was gorgeous and full of vitality.

——However, when Mingming first came in, there were only faint green shoots on the tree...

How did it suddenly bloom in such a short period of time?

Since regaining the spiritual power of the main body, Tao, who had lost the connection with this peach tree, was a little puzzled, but when she saw the young man walking out from behind the peach tree, she suddenly understood.

— Surely he did it?Use that big empty flame...

But why let the peach tree bloom?

She didn't quite understand, but when she saw him walking towards her, she still subconsciously put down the little ball she was holding, and jumped from the corridor into the courtyard.

"What is this for?" Obediently, he held her hand and brought her under the peach tree. She raised her head in bewilderment, and the peach blossoms were blooming extremely brightly, as if the sunlight in this corner had been dyed red. , the petals falling down from time to time are as light as a beautiful butterfly spreading its wings.

Then at the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the image of the young man in front of her suddenly kneeling down on one knee was reflected in her water-red eyes like peach blossoms.

He was still smiling, his eyes were warm but slightly nervous, "If Tao, would you like to be my wife?"

The peach blossoms falling from the top of the head slowly passed before the eyes, and the sun was shining brightly. The spring of this year seemed to have arrived ahead of schedule.

……

When he returned to Honmaru, Tao was in a daze. Yamato Shou'an, who was sweeping the ground in the courtyard, saw her and was about to wave hello as usual, but found her looking at him, suddenly He raised his hand and covered most of his face with his sleeve, and then, he simply turned into flying petals and ran away.

"...??" The raised hand was still in the air, An Ding tilted his head, flicked his furry ponytail, drew his hand back and stroked his chin thoughtfully, "What's wrong?"

"What else can I do~" Qing Guang, with one hand on his waist and one hand on the broom, curled his lips, showing a little unwillingness, "Master, she is shy, ah, she was eaten to death, really—— "

……

The following days were still as usual, although the swordsmen in Honmaru were a little curious about what happened that day, but apart from the fact that there was something wrong with the protagonist when he first came back, the next day he behaved as usual again, gossip Although the heart was there, no one dared to ask directly, but a careful sword noticed the little ring she occasionally held in her hand.

"Huh? A ring?" He clasped his face in both hands, his eyes sparkled, "Did that Mr. Giotto propose to the lord?"

"Looks like it should be..." An Ding said uncertainly, "But if you don't wear it directly on your hand, it means..."

"The master hasn't agreed to him yet." Qing Guang nodded and completed his words, "It was originally, how could it be so easy to agree~"

"Ah~~ I'm so looking forward to it, the lord's wedding~~" He didn't care about other people's words at all, and his chaotic face, which was immersed in dreams, blushed.

"... Chaos..." Yao Yan looked at him helplessly.

"Damn it," Hasebe suddenly hammered down the table, and then lay down on the table with a look of unwillingness, "Although it is the Lord's will, but, but..."

"..." Candlestick Che shook his head, patted his colleague's shoulder with a wry smile, "Probably not that fast."

"Eh? When will it be?" Hotaru asked curiously, his voice was soft and light, revealing a strange sense of tranquility, "If Mr. Giotto is a human being, his life span is very short, and he will Do you want to wait any longer?"

"..."

The green eyes of this Otachi who looks like a child reveals ignorance and innocence. He just expressed his doubts very simply, but after hearing his question, several fusangshen who had been discussing eagerly before They all suddenly became quiet, and even Hasebe, who was expressing his emotions exaggeratedly, froze.

Although they all sincerely send blessings because of their lord's wishes, what Hotaru said is true. Although the lord is happy now, if one day that gentleman leaves, what will she do?

"Well~"

The one who broke the silence was Yingmaru, who had been drinking tea by the side. While smiling, he reached out and touched Hotaru's head, "My lord, she has her own thoughts, so don't worry or feel sorry for her."

Hotaru looked at him suspiciously and tilted his head.

Although he said so, there were still some heavy emotions that could not be dispelled, and the atmosphere became a little depressed.

At this moment, a white head suddenly popped up from the corner of the corridor, accompanied by a sudden "wow", the air that was about to stagnate resumed its flow.

"Mr. Crane..." Candlestick looked helplessly at this energetic and childlike senior who was actually quite old.

"I was almost scared again~" An Ding laughed.

"Hahahahaha, life always needs to be frightened to be interesting~" Tsurumaru waved his hands indifferently and walked over.

"Hey, Mr. Tsurumaru is wearing the battle uniform, did he receive the mission again?" Kiyomitsu asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I almost forgot what my lord asked me to convey." Scratching his head, Tsurumaru blinked his eyes with an innocent face, and laughed, "I said I'm going to the world, so Qingguang and Yingwan should make preparations." , I have to inform other people."

"To the present world?" Candlestick was stunned.

——If it’s not going out, why do you need to bring so many swords with you?Normally, the protagonist will bring at most two people with him when he goes to this world.

"Ah, that~" Tsurumaru looked at the sky and rubbed his chin, "My lord said, 'I don't know what those guys have messed with again, it's really troublesome' so—"

— those guys?
