Carrying an astonishingly large bento, Nina and Asakura took the delivered Huolingfei to a forest somewhere around Tokyo.

Although it is a forest close to the capital of the island country, it is deserted during non-holidays, with no one in sight.Fortunately, Ma Cang was at the edge of the woods and jumped out of the fire spirit with Nina in his arms. Like a thousand years ago, he walked into the woods step by step with his back to the village.

Thousands of years ago, they were always like this. Most of the time, they walked out with their backs to the places where the crowds gathered.The more deserted the place, the more secure he and Otochiyo felt.

Nina is just the opposite. Nina likes places where humans gather more than wilderness.

Although it is still to be discussed whether it likes people or the things made by people.The woods in early spring are still dead, the dark green leaves that haven’t fallen in winter are hanging weakly on the branches, and the new shoots are still small gray bumps, not the beautiful appearance in the works that is full of vitality when spring arrives.

In fact, the end of winter and the beginning of spring are the most difficult periods of time.The truth is similar to what people often say, the darkness before dawn is the darkest.

If there is no hope, it may be numb. If there is hope but it cannot be realized for a long time, then it may step into the abyss of despair.Ma Canghao put Nina down, and one person and one cat walked slowly into the depths of the woods.

"I used to think that the world you live in, Nina, is a very beautiful place." The dark wine-red long-haired boy looked at the sky with only a few layers of clouds and said suddenly: "There are many delicious things like sugar. Eat well and dress warmly, everyone has the opportunity to read and read... There are many other things that I don't know but sound desirable."

"But in fact, no matter how good the material life becomes, as long as human beings are alive, they will hurt each other. What I have experienced will be repeated countless times, time and time again, no matter which land or era , there will be no change.”

He raised his slender arms and pushed his hair.

"Actually, when I started to study the law of reincarnation, I just wanted to see you again. After all, you said you would wait for me. If you can't fulfill this agreement, then you are really useless. Many things happened after that, and I slowly Slowly forgetting my original intention, even for a long time, I didn’t know what I was doing. I was doing what a great onmyoji should do, numbly listening to people’s compliments and flattery.”

"Of course there are people with malicious intentions, but I can hear their voices, so there is nothing to be afraid of—after all, human beings have always been like this, and it's not the first day I know."

"It's just that I'm always treated as a different kind or a monster like this, even I would be upset."

Having said that, he lowered his head and shrugged at Nina with a helpless smile.

"Ah, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."

"That guy, Zuo, committed suicide. Just because the opponent used despicable methods when playing chess, he bumped his head to death on the chessboard... Isn't it ridiculous?" Asakura picked up Nina, and with She said face to face, "Stupid, isn't it? Obviously facing this kind of person, he should take revenge fiercely, and finally take away everything he values, and let him go on this dead end. In the end, that foolish chess idiot But he just let him go.”

"After he's dead, he can only let the other party arrange himself at will. After all, no matter what that person said, he can't open his mouth to refute." When talking about these things, Ma Canghao's eyes were unusually calm, neither There is no anger nor sadness, not even a trace of nostalgia.

It's like talking about something trivial.

"I didn't try to vindicate him. After all, I have no reason to work hard for someone who never cared about me, right? At that time, as long as he can think of me a little bit, I believe I can prove his innocence You wouldn’t choose this path of desperation, would you?”

Regarding the death of Sato Fujiwara, he was far more confused than sad.

Why not think about them who were left behind?Why not try to ask them for help?

Obviously this is just a very simple matter, with the help of him, a great onmyoji who is famous in Heian capital, what problem can't be solved?

He couldn't understand Fujiwara Sakai's approach, but he understood one thing very well, that is, this world cannot tolerate pure existence.

Whether it is Otopo Chiyo or Fujiwara Sakai, such a pure existence is destined to be unable to continue to exist in this filthy world.

Nina could not comfort him.

Although she can say that humans still have a good side, it cannot be more true that he and they have all been hurt by humans.Maybe they have also felt the kindness of people and received their help.

But those injuries are much more than these, and they are much more painful.

She has not experienced those things, and if she just makes a judgment as a pure bystander, it would be too unfair to the person involved.

And this is already a thousand years ago. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a heart-wrenching injury or love, it has probably been worn away by time... Time is a very terrible thing.

Some things will rise from it, and some things will die from it.

Some obsessions will deepen over time, and some feelings will gradually fade over time.

As far as Nina is concerned, she used to be so afraid of becoming a cat, and was so confused when no one could tell her whether she was a human or a cat.

However, two years later, these things that he once cared about have become trivial matters.Maybe it will pop up when you are in a bad mood or when you are angry, but it is really just a short moment.

It couldn't affect her any more than to elicit an exclamation.

It's only been two years.

But Ma Ye spent 1000 years in reincarnation.Even if he did not live the 1000 years, but after 1000 years, hemp leaf is still hemp leaf, and everything is borne by hemp leaf, not the experience of different people with the same soul .

So Nina couldn't say anything about it.

She could only pat Ma Ye's head with a little bit of sadness.

Anyway, it's really nice to see you again.

"...It's good to see you again, Nina."

No matter how time turns, no matter how the world changes.

At least you're still there.

"Speaking of which, I had cats later on, and one of them was a cat named Gu Zong, who looked a bit like you." Just when Nina was immersed in such emotions that she didn't know how to describe, Ma Canghao spoke again. "It's a yellow cat with patterns that look a bit like a tiger."

"But after all, it just looks a bit... completely different from you." At this point, he shook his head with a smile, and resumed the posture of holding Nina in his arms.

Nina put away the emotions she couldn't figure out, and twitched the corners of her mouth.

Although there is nothing wrong with having a cat, but...why does it sound so awkward to me?

After eating a considerable amount of bento, they spread their cloaks as cushions and lay down again.However, considering that the ground is too cold and lying on it may cause stomach upset, after careful consideration, Nina still lay on Ma Canghao.

Although today's weather is considered sunny, the temperature is not too high, and the woods are dusty and there is no scenery to speak of.

The reason why I lie in such a place without aesthetic feeling is also out of a feeling of reminiscence.

A copy probably won't have future feelings.

In this world, Nina has many little friends she can't rest assured about, and Asakura also has a wish that he must fulfill no matter what the cost.Their pursuits in this world were completely different from the very beginning.

Although they still cherish each other, Nina will not abandon those important people because of him, and Asakura will not change his obsession for thousands of years for Nina.

Thousands of years ago, they were the only ones for each other, and there was no other involvement. They would listen carefully to what the other party said, and would hardly refute.Even if there is occasional noise, it is more intimacy than anger, and maybe not even angry at all, just for fun.

Nina suddenly remembered a poem by Nalan Rongruo.

Bowl.

Some people are suitable for running into a tacit understanding in getting along, but there are also some people who are suitable for staying in the memory of the amazing first encounter.

For Nina, Bai Lan is undoubtedly the former, and Asakura... Maybe he used to be the former, but now he is only the latter.

The encounter is always short. After finding the feelings of the past and feeling no regrets, they returned to Ma Canghao's self-sufficient base camp on the Huoling.The results of Nina's crazy shopping before were piled up in the center of the field like a mountain.

Although there were quite a few people present, there was no Ma Canghao to speak, and they just looked at each other from time to time, and no one really stepped forward to touch...even the two children.Nina could feel their curiosity and yearning, but neither of them took even one step forward.

"My lord, these are...?" A hesitant voice.

"This is a gift from Nina to everyone." Ma Canghao answered very simply. "Take what you want, and leave the rest to Brocken to manage."

"Thank you very much, Nina."

Although I am content with the status quo, I feel that there is nothing wrong with this, but people will always like a better life.Therefore, the people present showed a little bit of excitement.

Let's just say it's a happy result.

Of course not everyone is so happy.

When everyone is happy like this, there is one person who is very, very unhappy.That is Bai Lan who received the bill records of Nina's consumption immediately at home. Such a large number of things don't seem to be things that Nina wants to use or take back, although he is not short of the money. , but the bastard used the things he bought with his own money. No matter how you think about it, it's a terrible thing!
