[Comprehensive] Peach blossoms are not cherry blossoms!

When Peach woke up, it was the spring of another year, the peach petals were flying in the warm breeze of early spring, the warm sunlight fell on the branches, and there were birds resting on her body and making clear and crisp singing.

Of course, she would wake up not because of the above, but because a half-grown boy was circling around the peach tree while yelling her name.

- so noisy...

Turning around gently, the petals flying in the air gathered together, revealing the slender figure of the girl, she was still a little sleepy and confused, she rubbed her eyes sleepily and muttered, "Yato, you Can't you just keep your voice down?"

Seeing her suddenly appearing in front of him, the young man who was circling the tree was stunned for a moment, his delicate and fair face froze for a moment, then his brows and eyes gradually stretched, revealing a cheerful smile, he grinned, stretched his arms, and rushed over immediately. He hugged her and shouted excitedly, "You finally woke up! It's been 100 years!"

Surprised by his sudden intimacy, the sleepy bug immediately ran to the sky, Tao was stunned, turned his face to look at his silly smile, blinked, then raised his hand and patted him lightly. He said, "Okay, let me go—"

……

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't seen that you have grown taller, I wouldn't have realized that 100 years have passed..." Tao compared the top of the boy's head with his hands, and compared himself, "Last time you were only Up to my chest, now I'm a little shorter than me..."

Because of the long life of the gods, although they are still growing up, compared with the growth speed of humans, the words of the gods will appear much slower. In the blink of an eye, the Yato in front of him is very similar to the Yato who will be thousands of years later.

— especially now with this face smiling like an idiot

"..." Unable to bear his appearance, Tao rolled her eyes, then stood up and looked around her shrine, "This place is also much bigger——"

This shrine has been getting better and better in the past hundred years, and it looks like it is full of incense. You can actually guess that Tao has recovered most of his spiritual power.

"That's because Ye Bu has been helping."

Sitting next to Yato, Said with a calm expression on the artifact Hibiki, who has not changed at all from a hundred years ago.

Yabu is Yato's real name, and Yato's name is Sakura's misreading the word and has been used like this. Momo is also used to this name, so even if he knows his real name, he doesn't bother to change it.

"Ah! Don't talk about me!" Yato blushed and looked embarrassed, waving his hands to stop Fei from continuing.

Fei looked at him calmly, and then said "Oh".

"Huh?" Tao touched his chin suspiciously, "Does that mean that Yato has been fulfilling the wishes of those who come to the shrine to pray?"

Facing her question, Yato pursed his lips, lowered his head with flushed cheeks, and then nodded silently.

——Ah, this guy, there are times when he is so shy...

Momo blinked, remembering that when she saw him again in the shrine in the future, that guy took out the wine bottle with coins and asked her for a commission fee.

She is not used to such a pure and unaffected Yato.

Looking at Yato, then at Fei, Tao thought for a while, then tapped his palm, "Since I'm awake, why don't you walk around with me~ I don't know what's going on in the outside world now~"

"Yo Xi~"

Yato immediately jumped up from the stone steps, grabbed Tao's hand and ran outside, "I'll take you~"

"Huh?" Tao, who was being dragged away, subconsciously looked back at Fei who was behind. The little girl was sitting on the ground with her chin resting on her face, watching them run away indifferently.

……

For Tao, a hundred years is the period between closing her eyes and opening her eyes. I don't know if it is because of this long sleep that her original impetuosity and the rising hostility slowly subsided. Now In the wild in spring, seeing the verdant trees and birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, she felt in a very good mood.

All of a sudden, he became relaxed and happy.

The small village at the foot of the mountain is still in its original location, but the people living here are no longer the familiar ones. No human being can survive for such a long time, but their descendants are still there. They thrive here, just like their predecessors, they work from sunrise to sunset, living in poverty but comfort.

Tao thought of the little baby he met in front of the shrine who could see him. Even he should have already experienced human birth, old age, sickness and death, and entered reincarnation, right?

Everything is subject to change, even the gods, and little Yato will grow up.

Looking at the young man who was walking in front and jumping up and down all the way, looking so excited that he was about to fly, Tao was a little funny, and he didn't know how he got here in the past 100 years?

The dilapidated small village was still very poor, but it was much better than the thatched huts with few shelters from the rain. They passed the village and went to the Tenjin Shrine in Kyoto.

Mei Yu was still the same as before, whether it was her appearance or the action of cleaning the fallen leaves, she was still beautiful and elegant. When she saw them, she froze for a moment, then smiled slightly.

……

"Hey, Yato," Momo raised his eyebrows in surprise as he sat under the tree with his chin resting on his chin, watching the boy jumping around to catch rabbits, "That amulet is still there~"

Hearing her voice, he turned his head subconsciously, but the rabbit he was catching just ran away, Yato showed an annoyed expression, "Ah, damn—"

Then I scratched my head and smiled triumphantly, "Of course~ I'm very powerful if I'm with Fei now, I don't need any amulets to protect me at all!"

Peach nodded.

Originally, it was just to take care of her a little bit, and she was a little worried because she had slept for so long and had no one to take care of her, but now it seems that this kid doesn't need to worry at all~

That's right, he has lived peacefully and vigorously for thousands of years, so there is no need to worry about his heartless temperament.

"During this time, have you become a god respected by people?" She asked with a smile.

Yato's movements of looking around suddenly froze for a moment. Although he was not noticed because his back was facing Tao, those bright eyes suddenly darkened, just like the pool of stagnant water at the beginning, unable to reflect anything. light.

"I, I'm working hard~" He suddenly turned his head and snorted.

"Oh?" Tao, who didn't notice anything strange, stood up and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Not bad, keep working hard~"

——However, judging from the fact that after thousands of years, he is still an unnamed god who has no shrine and is still struggling to let humans remember himself, it seems that his efforts seem to be useless...

How strange, why?You obviously look very hard~

Tao was a little puzzled.

"I know that kind of thing—" Yato curled his lips, put his hands behind his head, and looked at him sideways, "Speaking of which, have you finally woken up? It's been so long since I slept. I'm worried that I won't wake you~"

"Ah, that's not enough..." Tao stretched her waist, looked up at the clear and pure sky, "It will be bad if you oversleep, you have to wake up."

"Oversleeping?" Yato looked at her suspiciously and muttered, "Is there anything important?"

"Yeah, there are very important things to do in a few years. If I miss it, I will definitely want to die." Tao said in a joking tone, then stretched out her hand, grabbed the boy's fair cheek Pulling on both sides, "But, fortunately, you didn't forget to call me, thank you~"

"Ah, it hurts! Let go—"

Slapping the girl's hand away, Yato rubbed his blushing face in dissatisfaction, and glared at her.

Important thing, what is it?

Yato didn't ask, but seeing the eagerness and longing in her expression when she occasionally looked into the distance, he thought, there must be something very, very important to her there.

It is so important that 100 years ago, because she couldn't bear the waiting time, she willingly chose to turn into an ordinary tree and fell asleep.

……

Although she probably remembers the year in the Western calendar, she is not too sure about the year number in Japanese history. In addition, she has slept for so long, and she is not very sure about the exact number of years. That's why I asked Yato to wake her up in advance. .

I'd rather wait a few more years, and definitely not to miss it.

"... Ajinhe Zhishan?" Mei Yu pointed at her chin with one finger, pondered for a while, then shook her head, "I haven't heard of it, is Miss Tao looking for this mountain?"

"Hmm—" scratching her head, Tao stomped her feet on the ground in annoyance, "I have to go there, but after asking many people, they don't know where this mountain is."

She stopped for a while, then raised her head suddenly, her eyes sparkling, "By the way, didn't you say that the god of learning is the god of learning, or else, Mei Yu, you can help me ask the god of heaven?"

Mei Yu looked at her earnest face and nodded, "Okay, wait a moment~"

During the time waiting for the rainy season, Tao walked around.She also inquired about the news in the capital city before, but in the past, this kind of thing was done by Yaoyan. It was only when she did it by herself that it was so difficult to inquire about the news...

Even so, she had heard some rumors.

For example, it is now the Wenzhi period, such as the sensational battle between the Heike family and the Mina family last year, and the destruction of the Heike family.

——Although Tao is not interested in this kind of war and power struggle at all, the reason why she remembers these is because she heard a familiar name among the current events discussed by the public.

——Original Yoshitsune

The Minamoto General, who made great contributions in the decisive battle of Danoura that wiped out the Heike family, can be said to be famous all over the world.

And the most important thing is that he is the former master that Jin Jian has been talking about, never forgetting and being proud of.

The little dagger that was always bouncing around said that he was Yoshitsune’s protective sword and was with him until the end. Tao once heard from other swords that the present sword is also Yoshitsune’s Ziren Dao, for not protecting Yoshitsune well, this little tengu who looks lively and innocent and always smiles, is actually quite sad and guilty in his heart.

... I don't know what kind of person Minamoto Yoshitsune is?

Having seen Souji Okita, who is remembered by Anding, and Toshizo Hijikata, whom Izumi Mori Kanesada admires from a distance, Momo is actually quite curious about the original owner of his short sword.

However, if Imaiken is here, you will be very happy, right?

She thought so, then shook her head again.

How is this possible~

However, just as she finished thinking about it, she suddenly heard the very familiar clear voice of a child coming from the entrance of the shrine.

"...My lord, my lord!!!"

Different from the voice that always had a cheerful smile in her memory, there was a strong sense of grievance and choking in this shout. She thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when she looked up, she was shocked. Stand up from the ground.

"To-today sword?!"

The single-toothed wooden clogs hit the solid stone bricks like a rapid drumbeat, and the metal ankle rings collided with each other to make a crisp and familiar sound. He was like a little tengu with real wings, rushing in like a gust of wind, and then straight Straight into Tao's arms, hugged her tightly.

The author has something to say: ... Well, yes, Jin Jian met Tao on the road of extreme cultivation.

I just found out that the first letter of Imaken’s letter mentioned that he came to Kyoto, and Minamoto Yoshitsune hid in the mountains of Kyoto and Nara in 1186, and then fled all the way to Oshu, and committed suicide in Oshu in 1189...

It turned out that Touken Polarization seemed to be out for three days and then returned, but in fact Imaken has been with his original master for three or four years——

Currently Tao and the others are also in Kyoto, so we met like this~
