[Comprehensive] Peach blossoms are not cherry blossoms!

"..."

The four eyes met, and they were speechless for a moment.

In the middle of the yawn, the pair of half-closed eyes showed a bit of bewilderment. He looked over and subconsciously tilted his head, "Are you—"

Tao froze, her body quickly covered her face with her sleeve before her brain reacted, and then waved her other hand.

A gust of wind blew the peach tree beside it, the branches and leaves swayed, and the petals fluttered away with the wind. The deep and shallow reds soaked in spiritual power and revealing halos rendered the colorful night of falling flowers like a dream.

Before Giotto lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was the rain of flower petals and the girl in red and white kimono standing under the tree.

The figure swayed twice, and then fell down. Before he hit the corridor floor, Tao had already run forward to catch him.

"Why did you run out at night! You idiot!"

Sitting down by the corridor, carefully helping him to lie down slowly and let his head rest on her lap, the girl sighed, looked down at the sleeping face with some depression and muttered, "I was almost killed You saw it... just treat it as a dream—"

——I wonder if he will remember when he wakes up?

But, after waiting for hundreds of years, it's great to be able to touch him again and feel the familiar temperature...

Stretching out a slender index finger to lightly poke the delicate brow, the girl smiled unconsciously.

——It's a pity that I can't meet you in a fair manner, and I still can't let you see me.

She has been waiting for so long, she is not afraid of waiting for a few more years...

In her water-red eyes, there were tenderness like water waves and slight wrinkles. She lowered her head and pressed her face to his chest.

The heart beats regularly, every time, full of vitality.

It's real, warm, alive, right next to you.

"...that's great..." Closed her eyes, the girl muttered in a low voice, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings.

She looked up at him, touched his cheek lightly with her fingers, and said in a low voice, "Just wait a little longer."

The young man's face when he was sleeping soundly revealed a childishness that didn't match his age, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he had dreamed of something sweet.But the girl who looked at him turned her eyes away as if she couldn't bear it.

The moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the courtyard.The peach tree, which had lost its supply of spiritual power, returned to its normal appearance again, and the petals disappeared without leaving a trace like a phantom. The summer insects whispered again in the grass.

Tao recalled that it was also on such a summer night that she appeared here, then cried and made noises, and was finally pulled into her arms forcefully by this guy.

That was the first time he hugged her.

I always feel that it was a long time ago...

"Forget it, let's take you back, don't catch a cold." She let out a long breath, and said briskly, lowered her head, and kissed the young man on the forehead, "Good night~"

……

Because he was worried, Tao observed Giotto all day long and found that although he woke up in the morning and ran under the peach tree and walked around the tree for a few times, he seemed a little puzzled, but after that, the guy scratched his head and giggled "Sure enough I'm dreaming" and walked away, talking and laughing with my companions as usual, and my daily habits didn't change much.

——And, he still thinks that the tree in the yard is a cherry blossom tree.

Greatly relieved, she relieved herself and returned to the shrine.

……

In the days that followed, Tao would occasionally come to the yard where they lived during the day, hide her figure and sit on the tree watching them as she did many times before. Chao Li Yuyue loves music and often plays a nice flute Giotto would sit on the corridor by the courtyard and listen while drinking sake with a smile on his face. G would also come together sometimes. The sun shone into the courtyard and fell on the corridor brightly. This small courtyard Here, time seems to slow down.

Several times Bodo and Xiaoye also came together, after her repeated warnings, the two little guys (especially Bodo) obediently did not make a sound, quietly listening to Chaoli Yuyue's flute, even when When Tao was about to tell them to go back, she realized that the two little guys had fallen asleep leaning against each other.

Because such a day, although dull, is really warm and beautiful...

Looking at the two short knives covered in mottled light spots, Tao shook her head, but raised the corners of her mouth.

……

After the midsummer passed, the leaves began to turn yellow and fall off. After making a few rolls in the autumn wind, they fell on the water surface of the pond and there was a burst of microwaves. Then came winter. After the heavy snow, the weather gradually warmed up and the snow melted. The spring of the year is here.

At the beginning of the year, Chaoli Yuyue hired a girl named "Yingzi" to help with the housework, and one day, when she felt the familiar fluctuation of spiritual power appearing in the town, Tao knew that the past " She's finally here.

So from that day on, she never went to that house again.

……

"I can't help it, even if I know that person is 'me', I can't watch them together..."

When asked by the curious baby Fujishiro Hakata why she has been staying at the shrine all this time, Tao held her chin and answered, her face was dark, and she looked a little depressed and irritable, "I know it's just me Things that have been experienced in the past, but!!"

"Ah, I understand!" The short knife of Fujishiro's family hit the palm of his hand, and the eyes behind the red-rimmed glasses sparkled, "Is my lord really jealous of me!"

"..." Tao, who was hit by the rumor, glanced at him and turned her head away.

"Such a thing is really helpless, poor lord~" Hachisu Kakotoru shook his head, holding his face in one hand, showing a sympathetic expression, the translucent feather was draped over the glittering golden bathrobe, There was an air of nobility and a brilliance that people couldn't look directly at.

"Yeah~ human love stories are always like this, my lord must not be discouraged just like this~ just work hard~" the little fox standing on Minghu's shoulder encouraged, with his fluffy tail flicking, the taciturn Minghu Also nodded at the same time.

"..." Tao was speechless for a moment, she seemed a little embarrassed and a little angry.

Shiqiemaru looked at his lord whose complexion had completely darkened, and smiled helplessly. He turned his gaze to Sankaiyue who had been basking in the sun and drinking tea calmly.

Received Da Tai Dao's help-seeking gaze, San Riyue blinked and was puzzled for a moment. He looked at his master, then at the other Fusangshen, and then showed an expression of enlightenment.

He laughed "hahahaha" twice, put the teacup aside, then straightened his clothes and slowly stood up, tilting his head slightly, and the tassels in his hair swayed twice, "If that's the case, would my lord consider going again?" Take a trip?"

Hearing his suggestion, Tao was stunned, "Yuanyou?"

Sanriyue nodded and said with a smile, "Didn't that Lord Yato invite you to go to Kyoto to meet again?"

"Ah, there is such a thing..." Tao seems to have just remembered, she tapped her chin with her index finger, and then tapped her palm, "Yoxi, that's it, let's go to Kyoto for a while!"

As for Yato, the last time I met him was in the Warring States Period, how is that kid doing now?

"Eh, eh?" Bodo showed a look of surprise on his face, "It's decided so soon? Then, my lord, don't you care about that Mr. Giotto?"

"..." Tao glanced sideways at him, raised her chin and snorted, "It's clear what's out of sight."

Why does she want to watch Giotto kiss me with another girl, even if that person is herself!But she couldn't stop it, so she had to escape by herself!

Ah~~~ No matter how I think about it, I still feel so depressed!

……

The matter of the excursion was settled in this way. Ishikimaru was kept because he had to take care of the shrine, but Momo placed a barrier outside the shrine to prevent his spiritual power from being noticed by her in the past. Although now her strength is many times that of her past self, especially at this time, so there is basically no need to worry about such things, but she still told Ishikirimaru that she must not be discovered by her and her swords in the past.

This reliable Odachi took his instructions very seriously, and he did. After all, he is the only Fusangshen who has been showing his true body to receive pilgrims in the shrine, and so far, he has not been seen by anyone at all. Found something wrong.

Tao took a few swordsmen of her own family, and wandered leisurely all the way to Kyoto, eating, drinking and drinking all the way, although when they arrived in Kyoto, they were informed by Meiyu that Yato had gone to Edo to find her , The two of them completely staggered each other's advancing routes quite tacitly, and they didn't meet once in the middle.

But even so, Tao still stayed in Kyoto for a while, and did not return to the small town on the edge of Edo until the beginning of the second year.

——Although she was impatient to run around like this, it was just because she suddenly remembered something, the wedding between that guy G and Yingzi was held at the end of February of the next year, and it seemed to be held in his own shrine Yes, after much deliberation, she finally decided to come back and take part.

Well, she seems to understand again, why she was blocked by the barrier of this shrine back then, and why Yato appeared in Edo at that time...

"Hmm... I always feel..." She covered her face and said to herself with complicated emotions, "I dug a lot of holes for my past self..."
