[Comprehensive] Peach blossoms are not cherry blossoms!

The little short knife threw herself into her arms, tightly hugging her hands.

After a short period of shock, Tao slowly regained her senses, the warm little body in her arms made her realize that this was really her little dagger, not an illusion.

She squatted down slowly, hugged him, and gently rubbed the head with the little hat as she did a long time ago.

"it's me."

Imamori's body stiffened for a moment, he raised his head, his ruby-like clear and beautiful eyes opened wide with tears in his eyes, and looked at her without blinking.

"My lord, I finally found you! We have been waiting for you for a long time..." His voice was full of grievances, as if he was acting like a baby, or complaining, but he said with tears, but the corners of his mouth were raised high Saying, "Great, seeing you again!"

Momo looked at him crying and laughing, even with such a mess of emotions, Imai is super cute, hey, why didn't she feel it before?

Tao rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Well, that's great, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"My lord, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Princess, is this your shrine?"

"My lord, are you lonely by yourself?"

"My lord, how are you doing during this time?"

"My lord, do you miss us very much?"

……

It was rare for Tao to answer the nagging questions very, very patiently. She couldn't help laughing as she looked at the little guy who was sitting next to her while clutching her sleeve.

In spring, the sun is bright and bright, and when it falls, everything looks vibrant and bright. In such a beautiful season, reunion is a particularly beautiful and warm word.

very nice.

"My lord ~ ​​are you listening to me?" Jin Jian complained suddenly with his mouth pouted.

"Eh?" Tao blinked, confused, "What?"

"Ah——really! Sure enough, I didn't listen carefully, I'm going to be angry!" Xiao Dian Dao seriously opened his eyes wide and looked over, and said with a straight face.

Tao burst out laughing, she couldn't help but reached out and touched his head again, facing the little guy's puzzled eyes, she just tilted her head with her chin and sighed, "Because Jinjian is so cute, I've always been so cute." I looked at you and didn't pay attention."

"..." Little Short Knife blinked blankly, facing his lord's first praise for his cuteness, he seemed a little unable to recover, and his complexion became a little weird instead.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Peach asked amusedly.

"My lord, you—" Jin Jian looked at her smile, which was completely different from the past, which was always capricious, coquettish or domineering, a very very flat and gentle smile, he shook his head, Showing a cute smile, "No, it's nothing, I'm so happy, I was praised by the lord~"

Tao looked at him suspiciously.

……

When Mei Yu reappeared, the little fusangshen boy had already fallen asleep on the lap of his long-lost reunion, and Taozheng gently stroked his long hair. Seeing Mei Yu, he spoke quietly to her. He smiled and made a silent gesture.

Mei Yu nodded lightly, showing a gentle smile, lowered her voice, and said as if she understood, "It seems that this is the reason why Miss Tao has been unwilling to accept the artifact..."

Tao raised her eyebrows, smiling triumphantly and proudly, "My swords are stronger than ordinary artifacts!"

Mei Yu looked at her expression and covered her mouth with a chuckle.

Tao took advantage of Jinjian's sleep and healed all the minor scratches on his body and face. It seemed that the little guy who had had a hard time during this period fell asleep even if he was extremely tired, and his fingers were tight. He grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go.

According to what he said before, it was just a year and a half since Tao sent them back to Honmaru. The swords in Honmaru are all fine, and everyone firmly believes that even if there is no contract, the lord will not really want them, so they Very firmly and categorically rejected the government's decision to arrange for them to be judged again, and is still patiently waiting for the day when she goes back. The daily affairs are the same as when she was still there, going out to battle, expeditions, internal affairs, etc. Methodical.

——Speaking of which, in fact, even if Momo was still in Honmaru before, she didn't bother to take care of these things, and basically left it to Candlestick Kiri and Hasebe to do it. It really didn't make much difference whether she was there or not.

But what Jinjian said made her feel relieved a lot.

He came out this time because he made a request to the government of time to practice, and the government agreed and brought him here.He came to Kyoto two months ago, and not long after that, he met the former master Minamoto Yoshitsune who was hiding from the enemy in the countryside, so he stayed with the former master to protect them all the time.

At this moment, he came to the city to inquire about news, and happened to pass by the shrine.

"Because the lord is also a god, so I thought, if you talk to the god, maybe the lord can hear it~ So I came in! In the end, the lord really heard it! I'm so happy!"

When the little tengu said these words, he jumped up and down and turned around excitedly in front of her, his long hair dangling with his small body, so cute.

……

When Yato came to look for Tao routinely, he was woken up by the sound of yelling. He was surprised to see this god again. When the lord acted like a baby and could still hold her hand, when we got along with each other and showed all kinds of intimacy and the lord didn't dislike him at all, Jin Jian was not happy.

——It’s so disgusting, actually taking advantage of everyone’s absence and only the lord alone...

"Is this little guy Tao's magic weapon?" Yato looked curiously at the little guy who was staring at him with red eyes with an unfriendly face, "I haven't seen it before~"

Tao nodded, appearing to be in a very good mood. She stood behind Jinjian, put her hands on his shoulders, and showed off in her tone, "It's not a divine weapon, but Jinjian is more powerful than a divine weapon!"

Because of his lord's words, Imai's originally angry face instantly smiled like a flower, and he held her sleeve tightly against her side, with a sticky look that wouldn't let go even if he was killed. The appearance made Yato feel a little uncomfortable.

"Speaking of which, it's getting dark." Tao subconsciously looked at the top of Wanxia Mantian's head, and frowned, "Jinjian, do you still want to go back to that Yijing Gong?"

The little boy who was staring at Yetou was stunned when he heard her words, and then he was startled, "Ah, it's already this time, Yoshitsune must still be waiting for me...but—"

He bit his lip, and looked helplessly at Tao who had finally met again, "But I don't want to leave my lord..."

——What if the lord disappears again?

——What if, this is actually just a dream of him, and he wakes up from the dream after he leaves, and what should we do if the lord is gone?

Tao touched his head, stretched out his hand to hold the hand that was still clutching his sleeve, raised his eyebrows, "Imaken hasn't been to my shrine yet, right~ I'll take you there~"

"Eh?" Little Short Knife was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently and followed her footsteps.

"Ah, me and me!" Yato walked to the other side of her not to be outdone.

The three of them came to the shrine at the foot of the mountain, looking at the small dagger looking around the shrine curiously, Tao said with a smile, "I've been here all the time, so if Imaken wants to see me, feel free to You can come here, I will wait for you here."

Jin Jian opened his eyes wide, looked up at her seriously, "Really, my lord, can I really see you again anytime? You won't suddenly disappear again?"

Seeing his eyes full of anxiety and eagerly waiting for an affirmative answer, Tao nodded, "I'm right here."

……

Watching the little boy take one step and three turns to leave reluctantly under the sunset glow, Tao's expression also seemed a little dazed.

Not only Jinjian felt that this scene was like a dream, but Tao also felt that it was a bit unreal because he was too happy.

She really saw her sword again, and the thought of it made her feel so happy that she was about to fly.

——Just seeing it makes her so happy. When they were together every day before, she still disliked them always chatting around

But, Jinjian is only here to practice, and he has to go back when the practice is over.

——We just met, so we are worried about parting

I'm so sorry.

It would be great if he could stay with her all the time, but as soon as this idea came up, she was vetoed by herself.

Leaving aside the idea of ​​what the annoying Tokino government will do if the sword that goes out to practice never comes back, it is not sure whether he can return to Honmaru through the space-time channel smoothly, and Momo doesn't want Imken to take such a risk.

After all, waiting for this kind of thing is really hard. She has endured it for more than 150 years, and she doesn't want that happy and innocent little dagger to go through it again.

——She didn't even tell Imamu that she had been waiting for more than 150 years, because she could completely imagine that if he knew, he would feel sad.

With a nerve-wracking sigh, Tao withdrew her eyes from looking at the little figure in the distance, and when she turned around, she met another pair of eyes staring at her full of resentment.

"??" Tao looked inexplicably at the black-haired boy leaning against the gate of the shrine, "What are you doing?"

The boy with an expression of "I'm very upset" curled his lips, turned his head, and muttered, "It's nothing!"

"..."

Tao gave him a speechless look, shrugged, and walked into the shrine.

"Hey,"

A young boy's awkward voice came from behind, "Is that little guy the one you are waiting for?"

The author has something to say: I made a mistake in my predictions, and I can’t hold back my thoughts when I save the manuscript. I may extend another volume at the end orz
