[Comprehensive] Peach blossoms are not cherry blossoms!

Tao never thought that the first meeting between himself and that guy Yato would be like this in terms of time.

The water-red eyes narrowed slightly, staring straight at the little boy who was pinched by her neck under the cherry blossom tree, and she said word by word, "What do you think is wrong with Sakura?"

The black-haired boy who looked about the same age as Wuhutu blushed, and kept struggling to break her hand away because of suffocation, but when he heard the name "Sakura", his struggling movement stopped suddenly He came down and looked up at her in a daze.

His eyes were dull like stagnant water, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but his expression was still numb to the point of ignorance, and there was no light in those eyes.

It was completely different from the grown-up Yato she remembered later.

But even after a thousand years, the young boy who has become off-line and funny, every time he hears her say the name "Sakura", his face will turn pale, and his eyes will wander away subconsciously.

In the past, she thought he was showing a guilty conscience, but now, she seemed to understand the pain that had never been shown in those eyes.

She slowly let go of her hand, allowing the little boy to slide and sit on the ground, coughing while covering his neck.

-Sakura was killed by him

This was what he had answered her just now, not so long ago.

Tao knelt down and looked at him, "Tell me what happened."

The sound of the little boy's cough stopped abruptly, the redness on his face due to lack of oxygen had disappeared, and his complexion turned pale, his eyes that were as calm as ancient wells appeared on that young and immature face. Some lifeless.

He raised his head and looked at Tao's coquettish eyes. The eyes in the still red eyes did not flicker or avoid, and his voice was too calm, "I told her her name before she was alive."

"..."

Tao's hands on her knees were clenched tightly for a moment.

——The name of the artifact during its lifetime, that is the most secret thing about the gods, it is a taboo, and it is something that must never be told.

Every god will know the memory of the artifact when it is named for itself, and if they tell the artifact their real name, the artifact will immediately remember everything in life, including the pain of death , Regret and hatred, the negative emotions at that moment will immediately swallow the artifact and transform it into a powerful demon. It is a tragedy that cannot be recovered by any method, and only death can be relieved.

Tao raised his hand, and the little boy immediately closed his eyes tightly, showing an expression of enduring pain.

But the raised hand still didn't come down in the end, she pursed her lips tightly, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't slap her.

——She didn't have the position to blame him...

but……

"Are you an idiot!" She picked up his skirt and wanted to throw him out angrily, "Even if no one tells you, as a god, don't you know that kind of thing from birth, the most secret thing of a god , how can I tell her?!"

"..." The little boy was quiet for a long time before he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Sakura said, she really wants to know."

——Because that was her wish, he wanted her to be happy, so even against his own will and the deep-rooted warning, he told her what she wanted to know.

but……

"you--!!"

Tao was speechless at this answer, and after a long time, she let go of her hand as if discouraged, and sighed.

What can she do about this kind of thing? The artifact transformed into a demon is irreversible. After being killed, it will completely disappear in the world, and even reincarnation is impossible.

It turned out that this was the reason why there was no Sakura Kiri around Yato afterwards.

If she had been a little earlier, or at the very beginning, she would have agreed to her request...

——Ah, after all, what’s the use of regretting and thinking about such things now!

Tao stood up and looked condescendingly at the boy squatting under the cherry blossom tree with his knees in his arms. He just kept this posture in a daze. Tao remembered that Sakura once said that she met under the cherry blossom tree Yato, her name is also derived from this.

The snow started to fall again, falling one after another, in the icy cold wind, the white snow drifting past in front of them, like the faded April cherry blossoms, fell on the heads and shoulders of the two of them.

- so cold

Momo stretched out her hand towards Sayoto.

The little boy looked at the palm protruding from the wide sleeve in front of him, then raised his head in a daze, and looked at the girl in front of him who was about to kill him just now.

"Let's go." Facing his ignorant gaze, Tao pursed her lips, "Even a god would catch a cold. Do you want to die here?"

Sayoto looked at her quietly for a while, and then, as if hesitating, he slowly let go of the hand holding his knee, and put his small palm on it.

His hands were so cold that they seemed to have no warmth at all, just like those eyes that lacked emotion.

——Ah, that's why, this guy, how did he grow up to be that stupid and delusional bastard?

……

Momo took Sayato to the Tenjin Shrine to temporarily avoid the snow. After Meiyu found out about Sakura, she also sighed, and then brought them thick quilts and hot tea.

In the winter that followed, Yato would come to the shrine from time to time. Unlike the noisy him when he grew up, now he was always sitting quietly by the side, looking straight at Tao, without going out. The voice is not noisy, but it makes Momo, who is used to the grown-up version of Yato, a little uncomfortable.

When the weather is good, they will also go out to the villages below the mountain to help some people who cannot survive the winter.

Although the spiritual power has not recovered much, it is not a problem to treat some frostbite and wind-cold, and it is very simple to manipulate the trees in the forest to catch prey and find the remaining wild fruits. Sometimes Yato will help her find it together For food, when others thank you, the lifeless eyes on the delicate face will light up for a moment.

……

puff

The small figure fell from the branches and fell straight into the thick snowdrift, and was buried under the snow in an instant.

Tao laughed and walked over and pulled him out by the back collar. On the tree beside him, the squirrel tilted his head and looked at them with the fruit in his arms, then turned around quickly and shook his big furry tail, like Laughing at that overwhelmed little guy.

The little boy who was carried in the air shook his head, shaking all the snow from his hair, and then puffed up his cheeks and stared at the squirrel fiercely.

Tao put him back on the ground, took out a bunch of bright red wild fruits and shook them in front of him. Sure enough, the little guy's eyes were immediately attracted by the bunch of brightly colored and beautiful fruits, and his head followed the shaking. The wild fruit also shook together.

He took it with both hands, looked at her, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Bah-ah-"

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing Sayato who was so sore that she spit it out immediately and wrinkled her face together, Tao laughed unceremoniously. She folded her arms, raised her eyebrows, and looked at the bitter face who was about to burst into tears. The boy said, "That's why, don't think that if it looks good, it will be delicious. You can't just eat it without knowing what it is."

It was obviously a deliberate prank, but she still had to say it in a righteous way. Probably only the inexperienced Xiaoyato would believe her words, right?

The little boy looked at her, pursed his lips as if he was aggrieved, but didn't make a sound, and lowered his head silently.

"Okay, let's go back." Wiping some melted snow on his hair with his sleeve, Tao reached out and pulled him up, "It's getting dark, didn't you say that there are still people waiting for you at home."

Koyato's body trembled, his eyes widened slightly, he reached out his hand and touched the top of his head carefully as if subconsciously, then quietly turned his head to the side and raised his face to look at Tao, and after a while he gently "hmm" With a sound.

"Be careful when you go out recently, there seems to be some monsters around here again," Tao has become accustomed to the little guy's gaze, and said to himself, "Recently, I have encountered several times——"

And I don't know if it's her illusion, I always feel that those monsters have been following her for a purpose.

Some time ago, she managed to escape into the woods because of the thinness of her spiritual power. She didn’t suffer a big loss by using the trees, but she was still injured. Recently, her spiritual power has recovered faster, so she doesn’t have to worry about it.

And ever since her spiritual power recovered somewhat, those monsters have not appeared in front of her openly again.

Sure enough, it's still a bit strange. When did you know how to judge the situation with that kind of thing?

——But no matter what, if you don’t have a magic weapon, Yato is basically a scumbag. He will be treated as rations when he encounters monsters in the wild. Although Tao gave him a talisman, it’s always right to pay more attention .

Hearing Tao's instruction, Yetou's footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, as if he was afraid of something, his face turned pale, and he looked at her in bewilderment.

"Of course, I'm not afraid of those things," Tao looked at him, carelessly rubbed the short hair, and said confidently, "But your words are different. If you meet, you will Hurry up and run into the woods, I have already greeted those trees~"

Yato looked at her smile, bit his lip, and then nodded slowly.

The author has something to say: Hey, the prediction was wrong, there is no time flies... that is the next chapter Time flies~

A little explanation for the little angels who haven’t read Noragami’s comics. After being told the name in life, the artifact will instantly degenerate into a powerful demon because of the memory of the pain before death. If you don’t kill her, the god will be killed. , but here, Xiao Yato was actually deceived by Fei (Nora, also Yato's artifact) and his father (the person who gave birth to Yato with his own wish), thinking that telling Sakura's name didn't matter... As a result, Sakura— —╮(╯_╰)╭

Of course, Yato's father sent the demon who has been following Tao here, but Tao doesn't know who Yato's father is, so he is still a little confused.
