Human, am I evil?

Di Ruiji didn't want to see the belief that she had insisted on for so many years be broken, so... she lied.

At this moment, Di Ruiji, who was unwilling to lie, lied in order to protect the cat's little wish, to protect that little hope.

Even though she did this kind of thing, she didn't regret it. If she lied for this kind of thing, she would be happy.

Because...she was very happy, especially when she saw that Jingzi smiled when she heard that Ah Xiang might come back, she felt that the lie was worth it.

"Di Ruiji..."

Di Ruiji shook his head, interrupted Shen He who was about to say something, took her hand and put it on his face.

Looking at her while feeling Shin Hak's touch, he asked, "Hey, Shin Hak. I did...didn't do it, did I?"

"Well, you did the right thing, nothing wrong."

"Really? I'm relieved to hear you say that. "

Di Ruiji showed a cute smile, hugged Shen He lightly, buried his head in her arms, and enjoyed this brief warm moment.

What's wrong with me?I just heard a story, and it was still an incomplete story, why did I make this kind of action?

Fortunately, there is only Shen He nearby. If there are other people here, Di Ruiji can only destroy the corpse.

With Shen He's reassurance, Di Ruiji's situation has improved a lot. Although he still wants to communicate with him, it would be inappropriate to continue, so let's save those things for next time.

"Next, I'm going to investigate the matter of Ah Xiang. If there is no accident, she should have worked at Narugami Taisha. Or she has a record at Narugami Taisha. Go there and look for it, and you should be able to investigate useful things. clue."

As a priestess, and also a priest of a shrine, Ah Xiang must have had a record at Narugami Taisha.

Yae Kamiko has existed for so many years, she must have been at Narujin Taisha Shrine when Zhenshi lifted the seal, maybe she knew something inside, and there would definitely be nothing wrong with going there to investigate.

In addition to Narujin Taisha Shrine, there is also the matter of Kombu Maru and Domeki. For some reason, I always feel that Domeki has heard of it somewhere.

Where is it?

Volume 263: [-]: The Story of Hibiki Asase and Kombu Maru

"Why are you here? My lord."

Naruto Taisha, Huasanli looked at Di Ruiji vigilantly, with that nervous look, Di Ruiji felt that if she was a little scared, she would turn around and run away at the fastest speed? (???;)?=3 =3=3.

Di Ruiji knew why she was so nervous. The effect of the photo punishment has not disappeared. I have to say that she is quite shy. It was obviously just changing clothes and taking pictures, and she was not asked to do strange things. This is necessary look like.

"I'm not here to find you this time, I'm here to find Yae Shenzi. There are some things I want to ask her."

"Miyaji-sama? She's not at the shrine now. It seems that Yae-do has something to deal with. Well~ I remember when she left, she said that Ya-e-do has some important things to deal with today, and she will be away for a while."

In addition to being the secretary of Narugami Taisha, Yae Miko is also the editor-in-chief of Yae-do, but the former is work, while the latter is a hobby. Although she is usually a little busy, she enjoys it.

Di Ruiji raised his eyebrows, thinking why this guy is not here at this time, and asked her to go to Daoqiu City to find someone.

"I see, I am Yaedo looking for her."

After finishing speaking, Di Ruiji took Shen He's hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Hua Sanli.

"Please wait a moment, although I don't know what your lord is looking for, Mr. Gongsi. But you can tell me, maybe I can help."

Although she had only accepted Di Ruiji's punishment some time ago, what Hua San felt most was shyness. She still wanted to help Di Ruiji very much, and hoped that she could help her in some way.

"I want to ask if she knows a shrine maiden named Hibiki Asase."

"Hibiki Asase? Hibiki Asase...ah, I know this person."

It wasn't that she knew Hibiki Asase in Huasan, but she knew Hibiki Asase from the memory she got from Husai Palace.

"That was four or five hundred years ago. At that time, Hibiki Asase did come to Narujin Taisha for an internship for a while. During that time, he made friends with Mr. Fox Saigong and became a good friend."

To be able to become friends with Fox Sai Palace, it seems that Hibiki Asase is also a pretty good shrine maiden.

Then what?What happened next?Where did Hibiki Asase go in the end?Do you know these flowers?

"Later, Asase returned to Asase Shrine after a disaster that was not detailed in the records."

At this time, Inagi Yingmei came over and joined the conversation: "This is his name that I read from the few well-preserved books of the shrine. She is the last generation of shrine maidens of Asase Shrine. The following records are not comprehensive. , that's all I know."

In addition to these contents, there is only so much Narugami Taisha knows about Hibiki Asase. If you want to find out more, I am afraid you can only go to Yae Kamito.

After all, compared to Huasanli, who knows a little bit from memory, and Inagi Hotarumi, who knows some inside stories from classics, the person who has experienced it personally knows more about it.

But she is not at Narujin Taisha Shrine now, and she is probably busy with her light novel work at Yaedo, so she won't be able to get away for a while.

But Di Ruiji really wanted to find out what happened at that time. What happened to Hibiki Asase at that time?

Suddenly, Di Ruiji noticed the god cherry tree, and a thought appeared in her mind, and soon she gave up the idea of ​​looking for Yae Shenzi, and took Shen He to leave Mingshen Taisha, and came to a place at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain.

Here is the root of the sacred cherry tree, and Di Ruiji took Shen He's hand to the root.

"Wait a minute, I will take your spirit into the sacred cherry tree. Don't worry, I'm right by your side, you know?"

"Well, I will hold your hand and never let go."

"it is good."

Because of the real relationship between thunder and lightning, Di Ruiji took Shen He's consciousness and entered the interior of the Shenying tree quite smoothly.

Di Ruiji had previously read the past of Lei Dian through the power of the divine cherry tree, and learned about Lei Dian's experience in the past 500 years, as well as her process of making General Raiden.

This time, she entered the consciousness space of Shen Yingshu again, and wanted to see if there was anything about Hibiki Asase in the memories stored by Shen Yingshu.

According to Raiden Zhen, the appearance of the god cherry tree was 500 years ago, and Di Ruiji can't guarantee whether the god cherry tree has recorded the relevant experience of Hibiki Asase.

No matter what, she has already come here, and since she has already come here, she should take a good look at it.

Through the power of the divine cherry tree, quite a few scenes appeared around Di Ruiji and Shen He, and those pictures recorded what happened to Daozu at various time periods.

Shen He found them in these pictures. Those pictures were the things they did when they came to Dao's wife, and even those things were recorded.

Although they felt a little novel, those memories were not the focus of what they were looking for this time. What they were looking for was about Hibiki Asase, and the memory of the Kumbu Maru that Hibiki Asase cared about.

Soon, Di Ruiji and Shen He came to the Narugami Shrine 500 years ago.

During this period, Huzhai Palace has not died, and disaster has not befall Daoqi.

Hu Zhaigong was chatting with a slightly immature girl. Seeing the girl's dazed look, Hu Zhaigong laughed and happily hit her on the head with a pipe.

"Presumably, Xiao Xiang must have met someone who is destined for marriage, right?"

"What kind of marriage can there be with that rude and reckless man!"

Presumably this girl is Hibiki Asase, facing the teasing from the Fox Palace, Asase retorted with a blushing face.

I don't know if it's because of anger or shyness. Anyway, Hu Zhai Gong laughed happily when he saw the girl's appearance. The girl next to him puffed up his face when he saw Hu Zhai Gong's performance, which was very cute.

As soon as the screen turned, Hu Zhai Palace disappeared, and a young man in his early twenties appeared in front of Hibiki Asase.

Hibiki Asase looked at the young man with disgust, and kept saying harsh words to the young man. Facing the young girl's words, the young man was not angry at all, but rather enjoyed it, smiling all over his face.

This picture kept appearing, every time the boy came to Hibiki Asase, Hibiki Asase would talk to him in a mean tone, but since when, Hibiki Asase couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

This young man who often haunts Hibiki Asase is probably the Konbu Maru who always smiles when Hibiki Asase mentions it.

That's how it is, because it's a lover's relationship, so whenever he is mentioned, the memories of the past come to my mind, and Asase Hibiki will smile.

Di Ruiji and Shen He thought that the relationship between the two would continue to heat up like this, and they might be together in the future, but what appeared in front of them was a completely different picture from what they expected.

Because of the bow skills he learned from Tengu and his increasingly sophisticated swordsmanship, Kunbu Maru soon became Banner and received the famous sword "Kirikiri Echo" bestowed by the general.

Kunbumaru, whose status has been promoted, did not marry Hibiki Asase as Di Ruiji thought, but was engaged to the daughter of a high school samurai, and was about to marry her.

How about this turning point?Di Ruiji recalled the words those people used to describe others when she overheard them arguing before.

Dog...cough!cough!cough!Still don't say the whole thing, don't swear.

However, it should only be a political marriage. After all, Kumbu Maru has become the banner. In order to win him over, marriage can be said to be a method that every noble will think of.

And that was Inazuma 500 years ago, and her values ​​are not judged by current concepts. Although Hibiki Asase was a little sad, Konbumaru did not want to forget her because of that.

He even gets along with her by teaching her to bow and arrow, and occasionally takes her to the beach for trysts to enjoy the time together.

Unknowingly, they are no longer young. When they get together later, they will talk about what happened in the past, so as to miss the lost youth.

It's all good from here, right?But everything takes a sharp turn as disaster strikes.

As the banner of the shogunate, Kumbumaru is naturally going to fight against disasters. Before going out, he found Hibiki Asase and made a bet with her.

Speaking of which, this guy likes to bet with others very much. At the beginning, he bet with Daitengu. In the end, the two sides were tied.

The reason why he became a soldier of the shogunate was also because Daitengu thought he was annoying and drove him to the shogunate.

He made a bet with Asase Hibiki on whether he would come back alive, and if he couldn't come back, the bow would belong to Ah Kyung.

If he can come back...he didn't say the latter words, but both Di Ruiji and Shen He could see what he wanted to say.

【marry me. 】

This is what this man has never said to Hibiki Asase. They probably understand each other's intentions, but because of their personalities, they can't say it properly.

It was the same this time, this man was timid at the critical moment, he just gave Asase Hibiki a familiar smile, and led the army to fight against disaster.

In the end, he was completely swallowed by the dark fog, and before the black fog completely swallowed him, Di Ruiji heard what he said.

"The outcome of the game has not yet been determined, I... must return to Asase."

It was under such a strong obsession that Kumbu Maru really crawled out of the abyss, but after being eroded in the abyss for many years, he has completely become a monster.

The only remaining obsession led him to find Hibiki Asase, who was no longer young, and after finding this lover who supported him to climb up from the abyss, blood and tears flowed down the dry black eyes to regain his spirit.

But at this moment, Di Ruiji and Shen He stared wide-eyed, and they saw that Kunbu Maru's regained spirit was pierced by a sharp arrow, and that sharp arrow was shot by Hibiki Asase.

Looking at the fallen kumbu pill, Di Ruiji's eyes widened, as if he had been hit by something, and his breathing became short of breath.

Everything was doomed to a tragic ending when Hibiki Asase pulled the bowstring.

Volume 264: [-]: She's been right all her life, let her be wrong once

"Oh, the recent light novels are all rebirth themes, nothing new at all."

In Yaedo, Yae Miko is reading the recently submitted light novels, and she is a little helpless in the face of the light novels of the rebirth genre, which account for more than half of the total.

Although this type of light novel is indeed the mainstream at present and indeed has a very market, but there are so many of them, and the quality is not uniform, it is easy to make people feel tired.

These novels are nothing to the readers who are just getting started, but to those old bookworms, they are completely inconspicuous, the kind that will die suddenly after the first volume is released.

"Are they just so dissatisfied with their own life? In order to eliminate this boredom, they put their hope in the next life? Really, it's okay if the writing is better, but it's okay to think about [long live] or something when you reborn. It's too bad."

Yae Kamiko shook her head, put the light novel aside, picked up the fried tofu beside it and ate it.

Originally reading light novels should be something worth relaxing, but after reading this type of light novels, Yae Miko said that she couldn't relax at all, and even her blood pressure rose.

"I don't know if there will be a new savior, which will inject new vitality into Inazuma's light novel world, and at the same time allow me to entertain myself."

Just like the plot in the novel, in the stagnant light novel world, a powerful existence suddenly appeared... well~ no matter how you think about it, it is impossible, and how could the reality be as simple as light novels.

"The main thing is entertainment, right? The so-called vitality is just incidental."

"That's natural. After all, the motivation to maintain is to have fun. Others... eh?"

If I remember correctly, before she entered the room, she said not to disturb her, even if there was something urgent, she should knock on the door.

Why are there other sounds in the room?Or did it appear without her noticing?Could it be some powerful monster?

No, most of the powerful monsters are gone, and this voice is quite familiar, if I guessed correctly, it should be...

Yae Shenzi turned around, and just as she expected, Di Ruiji and Shen He appeared beside her, and they looked at her expressionlessly.

"Oh, it's really sudden. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'd scream out in fright."

"You're not a little girl, and I don't think anything can scare you."

"You're thinking about it wrong. There are many, many things that can scare me. For example, every time that guy Ying slashes at me with a knife, I will be terribly frightened."

"That's what you deserve."

I guess it was too much, and the angry person couldn't hold back and drew his sword from the chest to slash you. As a result, instead of learning your lesson, you continued to provoke others, just like this again and again, constantly provoking Lei Movie's emotions.

"Cough! Cough! Besides her, there are..."

"I'm not in the mood to know this. If you complain about it, you should tell the other shrine maidens. I believe they will be happy to hear your complaints."

"Ah~ Well, if that's the case, then I'll go talk to Huasanli. She probably won't reject me."

Yae Shenzi made a habit of dying, and soon she paid the price for her actions. The terrible pressure and Di Ruiji's cannibalistic eyes made Yae Shenzi sweat coldly.
