[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

51# Drug seller

In the place of the half-demon.

The seam between the human world and the demon world.

Among the sea of ​​flowers blowing from thousands of mountains, there is a man sitting here alone.He is wearing a colorful kimono and a purple turban.The fair face was painted with coquettish patterns with rouge, and it was so handsome that it was almost coquettish.He casually leaned against the big medicine box beside him, teasing the cat in front of him with his slender fingers.The hand stopped suddenly, and he slowly raised his eyes, staring at the young man who came here.

"Oh..." The man's tone was meaningful, "Excuse me, what do you want to do when you come here?"

Nuliang Rikusheng stopped in his tracks, the wind blew the mountains and the sea of ​​flowers, and also disturbed his voice.

"I want to borrow something from you."

"...I'm just a drug seller."

"Sword to Exorcise Demons, according to the medicine seller, he must have it."

There was a long silence, only the sound of the wind passing through the flowers and leaves. The man stared at the sea of ​​flowers shaking in front of him. When the wind stopped and the flowers calmed down, he slowly opened his mouth in a chant-like tone.

"What do you want to borrow...to do?" He cast his deep eyes on Lu Sheng, with unclear meaning in his eyes, "Young master of Nuliang, you don't need such a thing, do you?"

Lu Sheng stroked his waist subconsciously. Under the thick bandage, the wound was still aching.He slowly lowered his hand and looked at the man selling medicine.

"The sword, of course, is for 'cutting'."

"Oh?" The man prolonged the ending in an unclear manner, "It is really rare to make the young master of Nuliang feel so embarrassed. Here, please allow me to ask offensively, it is necessary to borrow this sword , can we solve something...?"

Lu Sheng closed his eyes.

"What I want to cut off is...her cause and effect."

"Karma?" The man asked slowly, "This sword can't cut that kind of thing."

Lu Sheng fell silent.

The man stared at him quietly for a while, and the corners of his lips gradually evoked an unpredictable smile.

"...That's all."

The first drawer of the big medicine box beside me was pushed out, revealing the delicate treasure box inside. Accompanied by the toothache creaking sound, the treasure box was slowly opened, and the sword wrapped with charms flowed coquettishly in the sunlight. The luster of the sword, the gemstones on the sword are shining brightly.

"I'm just a drug seller."

The man who said this raised his hand, let the sword stand up from the box, and slowly flew in front of Lu Sheng.Nuliang Lusheng hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to hold the sword.

Seeing this, the man bent his lips meaninglessly.The purple upper lip gloss is hooked on the corners of the lips, even if you don't smile, you still have a full smile.He looked at Lu Sheng casually, and after a while, he smiled.

"I'm not curious about the reason why the young master of Nuliang borrowed this sword of expelling demons, as long as you don't forget—"

The man narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This sword is used to kill monsters."

***

"You're back, Lu Shengjun."

Nuliang Rikuo put the sword in his hand back into the box, turned around, and showed a gentle smile to Kuroko Mana.

"Yeah, I'm back, how are you doing today, Mana?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Mana came over and sat beside Lu Sheng, "Speaking of which, where did Lu Sheng-jun go today?"

"Ok?"

Mana reached out and took a petal from his collar, the golden petals of Yamabuki flower made her fingers whiter, she raised the petal slightly, so that the sunlight passing through the window reflected it into an almost transparent color.The warm flower color fell in the water-blue pupils, like a distant song.

"Shanbuki flowers bloom seven or eight times..."

Lu Sheng took it subconsciously.

"...It's so pitiful that it has no children."

After reading this waka, Lu Sheng suddenly fell silent.

What a distant story that is.

The story of his father, and the girl named Yamabuki who is as delicate and beautiful as Yamabuki Hana.

——A sad love song.

"The blooming Yamabuki..." As if looking at the unknown place through the petals, Mana smiled slightly, "That must be a beautiful sight, Lu Sheng-kun?"

"...Yes." Lu Sheng held Mana's outstretched hand, "Next time, let's go together?"

Mana opened her eyes slightly, then slowly rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Okay."

In the touching palms, every texture of Yamabuki Hana soaked the warmth of the two of them, Lu Sheng smiled, interlocked fingers with Mana, and gently pulled the girl into his arms.

--bell--

That is, the gloomy ringtone.

Lu Sheng's arms tightened, and Mana raised her head subconsciously, but was pressed into his arms.

"...What's that voice, Lu Shengjun?"

There was a strange tremor in the girl's voice.For some reason, she almost instinctively feared the ringtone.Nuliang Rikuo stared at the wooden box, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes.However, he ended up just hugging Mana a little tighter.

"...No, nothing." He gently covered Mana's eyes, "Nothing."

The wind brought dark clouds from afar, covering the overwhelming sunlight, and the clouds swallowed up all the colors, and the colorful scene gradually dimmed, and Nuliang Rikusheng's expression also cast a thin layer of shadow.

Showers are coming.

The girl's snow-white arms slowly climbed onto Lu Sheng's shoulders, forming an embracing posture.Mana quietly raised her head and leaned against his shoulder and neck, letting her cold cheeks press against the side of his neck.

"...It's okay, Lu Shengjun." She said with a smile.

"what?"

"It doesn't matter. Whatever you want to do... it doesn't matter."

"..."

"Now, there is no one who hopes that I can survive and stay more than Lu Shengjun. So, if Lu Shengjun also makes a decision, there is really no other way."

Mana's voice is soft but firm, it is obviously so gentle, but it can make people feel her determination.

"At that time, as long as you decide, just do it. No matter how you do it...it doesn't matter to me, I understand everything."

"..."

"Don't show such an expression, Lu Shengjun is not wrong. There is no way, isn't it?"

Mana gently touched Lu Sheng's cheek, her eyes were quiet and soft.

"...I'm the one to say I'm sorry."
