[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

The author has something to say: This time, it also tortured my fragile glass heart for a while

It's cruel, but next...

There are still a few more chapters to be abused.

So don't hit me after reading this chapter! 【Hold your head】

Sitting in Seimei's room, Changhao told Seimei everything about the Tuyumon Temple. Seimei stroked his beard and looked at Polaris, which was covered by black miasma outside.He sighed and told Chang Hao what had happened before he was going to find Prince Xiu Zi Nei.But looking at how he got along with his Shikigami Guren, it was a state that couldn't happen even for him, so he laughed out loud.

Changhao bid farewell to Qingming, then sat in the corridor and closed his eyes, chanting a spell.

Promised, promised that Zhang Zi would save the child.

But in front of Qingliang Hall, they didn't expect what happened next, they were sucked in by the opened miasma cave.Looking at the pitch-black interior, Chang Hao felt helpless but also uneasy.Because before this, His Royal Highness Toshiji and his grandfather had seen his face, and it was said that he might lose something important recently.

The sachet in his hand exudes a faint fragrance. This thing has been well preserved and should not be lost.

At this time, the beads in the sachet seemed to guide him, projecting a blue line in one direction.Believing that what Zhang Zi gave would not bring him bad luck, Chang Hao walked along this blue line.When you see the troubled look of the three gods standing in one place, jump over the hill and run over.

"Taiyin, Xuanwu, Liuhe!"

"Chang Hao."

Tai Yin came over and said to him with a very complaining but relieved expression.

"Really, where did you go! Don't make us worry!"

"Uh... that's what I'm going to say..."

Chang Hao, who was about to refute, looked around, but he never saw the white monster.

"Where did the devil go?"

"I haven't seen the Soaring Snake yet."

"That's right..."

Hearing Xuanwu's answer, Changhao gripped the sachet tightly.I don't know why, but the uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"As for Soaring Snake, even if it's alone, it's definitely fine."

"Exactly."

Smiling reluctantly to Tai Yin, Chang Hao asked how they got here, but seeing the crying figure not far away, Chang Hao knew that they had found the person they were looking for.In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Chang Hao decided to have a good talk with that child.

However, in the process of dissuading, Xiuzi complained loudly, and also mentioned that Zhangzi, Zhang Zi, was rejected even if she wanted to go to be with her.This made Chang Hao stunned for a moment, thinking that the girl who was worried about Xiu Zi even though she was in pain would never do this.

"Allah...you're crying so sad, you're turning into a cat. Your Highness Xiuzi."

Just when Chang Hao didn't know how to comfort the girl, the sachet emitted a burst of bright light again, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw an unbelievable scene.

The girl who was supposed to faint in the Tuyumon Temple was squatting in front of the weeping Shuko and stroking her head.

Taiyin also blinked several times in disbelief, and even pulled Xuanwu's face once, only to realize that it was not a hallucination when he heard him cry out in pain.

"Akiko..."

"Hmm. Your Highness Xiuzi, let's go back. You must be terrified in this cold place. Lord Dingzi and the Emperor must be very worried about you right now."

"But, but I'm a bad boy, isn't that why you didn't let me go to Feixiangshe?"

Zhang Zi chuckled, and comforted Xiu Zi in his arms.

"How is it possible? I don't let His Royal Highness Xiuzi go down because I'm sick now, and I'm far away from Feixiangshe."

"Sick? Is it serious? It's all my fault... I said that to Fengyin."

"No, it's not to blame His Highness Xiuzi, it's just that my body is too weak."

"real?"

"Well, then let's go back? When we were in Feixiangshe, didn't we say that we must greet my brother with a smile with Master Dingzi?"

Thinking of the agreement with Zhang Zi in front of Feixiangshe before leaving, and how she was looking forward to the birth of this child before Dunkang was born.Xiuzi tightened Zhangzi's clothes, she regretted it so much now, why did she become like this?

"...I want to see my mother."

Caressing the wrinkled face from crying, Zhang Zi hugged her tightly and nodded.

"I want to see Mother! I want to go back! Go back to Mother!"

"Well, let's go back, let's go together."

Picking up Xiuzi Zhangzi, standing up and facing Chang Hao who was still in a daze, he smiled and stretched out a hand, Chang Hao recovered his senses and touched that hand carefully.This hand has warmth, not the cold but warm hand at that time.

When Chang Hao was biting his lower lip and was about to say something, the monster who suddenly appeared behind Zhang Zi was distorted by the miasma of the underworld.Pupils constricted for a moment, he rushed over and hugged Zhang Zi and Xiu Zi in his arms and hid behind Xuanwu.

Looking at the youkai who would be healed by the miasma no matter how hard you beat him, he looked down at the girl who was hugging Shuko tightly.

"Wait here for my return, Zhang Zi."

After hearing this, Zhang Zi nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, I'll wait for your return."

After smiling at Zhang Zi, Chang Hao ran out of Xuanwu's protection area to fight the monster.Zhangzi hugged Xiuzi and looked at Changhao who was fighting there. It was the first time she saw this scene, Changhao fighting with dangerous monsters.

"Are you really Miss Zhang Zi?"

Faced with Xuanwu's doubts, Zhang Zi smiled and did not speak, but Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile.That's right... that smile can only be bloomed by that girl, that one-of-a-kind smile.

But Xiuzi seemed to sense something, loosened Zhang Zi's clothes and walked in one direction.When Zhang Zi was about to pass, she saw Feng Yin who was dressed in rags and was very weak, so she stopped in her tracks.Because she knew that that young girl would not hurt Xiuzi, even if she did something too much.

"Feel sorry……"

After she said this in a low voice, she disappeared in place when Xuan Wuna had no time to reach out her hand.

Then Chang Ho saw something that he will never forget in his life.The golden crown on Honglian's forehead was gone, and there was a grin that he had never seen before, but these were not...

In an instant, Guren's hand passed through the girl in twelve singles in front of her.

There was no blood splatter as imagined, but a hole as thick as an arm was exposed at the place where it was pierced.Honglian, who didn't feel anything, seemed to want to attack her again. Changhao, who came back to his senses, shouted Taiyin's name, then hugged the weak girl tightly and floated back to be caught by Liuhe.

"... Zhang, Zhang Zi..."

"Changho, don't cry..."

It turned out that the one who fell down was Chang Hao who had already cried at some point.He didn't know where to put his hands, he just shrank his arms blindly.

And seeing the fluorescent light that began to change from that hole, the generals knew what kind of form Zhang Zi appeared here.But this is something more serious than physical injury.

"I originally existed to protect Changho."

Chang Hao, who heard this sentence, broke away from his closed eyes, and was stunned when he saw those eyes gradually becoming shallower.

"In the past, every time Chang-ho came over, I would see the wound, which was not too big or small, and I was always worried."

On that night, she knew that she might forget all about that in the future, only that she would be a normal person.So when she saw the girl, she stretched out her hand and said the strange spell, and then swallowed the blue bead.

This is as a last resort.

It's for Chang Ho, so I can't give it up.

Never forget, must remember!

This sentence kept repeating in her mind, even when she saw the familiar boy, she persisted in the end.

Zhang Zi stretched out her hand to caress Chang Hao's face, looking at the hand that had begun to disappear, she smiled regretfully.

"Grandpa Qingming is here, so I'm relieved. Don't get hurt again, or I will be sad."

When Tianyi and Suzaku arrived, what they saw was Changhao who was holding onto the illusory fluorescent lights and crying loudly.The last spiritual power saved Chang-ho's life, but gave Chang-ho the most painful memory.

Tianyi turned his head away and wept softly, Suzaku held Tianyi in his arms and gave her silent comfort.

Tianyin and Xuanwu who were standing aside just lowered their heads.

>>>

And Xue Ling, who was sitting next to Zhang Zi's real body, suddenly opened her eyes. She dreamed that Zhang Zi had disappeared, in the arms of the boy in red in the place full of black miasma.

But...the one lying there is still Zhang Zi, she hasn't disappeared.

"Ugh... ah!"

Zhang Zi's mournful cry made Xue Ling immediately set up a barrier to prevent anyone from discovering the abnormality here. She looked at the wrinkled little face and her gradually pale hands clutching the bedding.

"Zhang Zi! Zhang Zi, what's wrong with you!"

She also saw it at the same time, and the darker things were completely absorbed by her.And that blue spiritual power never appeared again, Xue Ling stretched out his hand in cold sweat to give her his spiritual power, but it was all bounced back into her body.

"What, what's going on!"

After a while, Zhang Zi yelled again and forced Xue Ling back a few steps, but she also felt it at the same time.The girl inside... was no longer angry at this moment, but only had the same aura from that adult Gao Tianyuan!

"Give her to me."

When Xue Ling turned her head and saw the figure, she immediately assumed an attacking posture.Because of this girl, because of her, Zhang Zi ended up like this!

"What are you doing here!"

The ball condensed in his hand attacked the girl standing in the corridor.The girl didn't dodge, and took the attack abruptly, and the golden ponytail was also scattered. She was wearing... the costume of the maid next to Zhang Zi, and beside it was a black wig.

She picked up the wig and put it away, then walked over slowly.

"do not come!"

Just when Xue Ling's next wave of attack was about to hit, she knelt down, knelt down in front of her and bent over to the ground.

"Please, give her to me!"

"Do you think you still have some credit! It would be great if you didn't wake up! Then Zhang Zi won't, won't enter this cold place!"

Papa papa, tears fell on the tatami, Xue Ling withdrew her attack and trembled.She wanted to attack again, but she couldn't do it again.Because standing in front of the girl was Zhang Zi who was unconscious but took the initiative to protect the girl.

"Why……"

Why protect the person who hurt you!Why!

Everything has become like this!Why are you still protecting her!

"Because...she is my...important family..."

After saying this, she fell down, and the girl hurriedly stood up to catch her, her beautiful face was also sobbing.She knew she was wrong!Everything is wrong!

At the market that day, she approached Zhangzi while the general was not paying attention, but she didn't expect that the familiar aura was just an amulet held by Zhangzi!

The girl she has been looking for is the barnacle girl who was forced into Feixiangshe by her!

I have always regretted myself, and I have always hated her quick temper.

The girl picked up Zhang Zi and disappeared into the bedroom, and Xue Ling stopped chasing him.She was just venting, venting the hatred that had been suppressed all this time. It was a fact that she hated this young girl, but she already knew it the moment she knelt down.

"...She will bring Zhang Zi back intact."

"I know."

Xue Ling stood up and turned her back to her mother. After the bell on her left ear rang, her figure changed into that of Zhang Zi.Kong Huan sighed, and transformed his appearance into that of Qin Zi.

——『I will definitely protect her this time! 』

She came back in a daze that day, and spoke firmly the next day.

——"No matter what method you use! 』
