Chapter 18 Onikiri (Part 2)(1/2)
After hearing that, I felt my voice hoarse, so I couldn't say a word. I clenched the letter and the book in my hand, pulled the sleeves of the ghost cut, and walked towards the door.
"Miss?" Guiqi lowered his head to look at me.
"Put it away."
“…”
Guiqi obediently asked me to pull him away, and Xiaoxue's voice came from behind again. This time, it seemed to be filled with all her resentment.
"Miss Kagura ignores you and doesn't want to forgive you! You don't deserve to be forgiven for someone like you!"
After leaving the yard where the witches were, I let go. When I returned to my room silently, my brother came to my courtyard with slightest amount, sitting on the edge outside the room, as if waiting for me
, it doesn't seem like I'm waiting for me.
Seeing that I was back, I got up and left. I felt a little strange, so I called him: "Do you know more about the witch?"
The brother spread his hands and said, "What do you think?"
I pursed my lips: "What are you doing here?"
"Test the predictions." He replied calmly, "It seems that I can speak well in front of that person tonight."
"What?" I haven't recovered from Kagura's affairs yet.
"I forgot, you can't go that place now." My brother's clogs were trampled in the snow. "If you can come, I'll tell you a big secret."
Where? A scene appeared in my mind. I was just thinking that I should call him, but turned around but saw only Ghost Che standing behind me.
Seeing me turn around, Guiqi squatted down and asked me, "Miss, do you have any instructions?"
"Has your master arranged all the arrangements?" I stared at his red eyes and asked, "Actually, I wanted to break my longing for Kagura. After all, when he gets into the position of the head of the family, Kagura will be even better than God.
Hidden."
Gui Qi frowned and replied to me, "Miss is trying to ask if the matter of going to see the witch girl was arranged by the master? Gui Qi thought it should be. Gui Qi does not have the ability to escape so much alert, so he took the lady directly in.
.”
The cold winter breath was sucked in by me, and I woke up my mind: "No, what I asked is, why did your master agree to me go in there."
Gui Qi lowered his head slightly.
"Please answer me."
I should have understood that Yuan Lai Guang never regarded me as a human being. The reason why he taught me so many things was just because my power was strong and it was beneficial to him. He had to completely control me, otherwise I would be like a mad dog
Likewise, bite him back.
"When practicing sword skills with the lady, the lady would look at a place from time to time. Guiqi thought it was a very dangerous move, so he found that the lady was looking at the forbidden area." Guiqi lowered his head completely, "I saw you this morning
When I looked at each other there, I realized that this was the longing between humans. As the guardian of the family, I could not understand it immediately. I asked my master a lot later..."
Holding the letter's hand, he suddenly felt relieved. I don't know if it was because he was relaxed by the unsupervised or if he felt that he was doing something spontaneously, but in short, he was relieved.
Although he is the patron saint of Genji's ancient sword, he is still a monster in essence. Those who don't know the inside only think that he is just a samurai, a samurai who was trained by Genjiu.
"...Why? Why do you do this for me?" I asked in confusion, "Just follow your master's orders, I can't give you anything."
When I was a maid at Yuan Boya's house, I never thought about what others were doing to me.
Guiqi turned his head to the other side, and his tone was less serious and serious for the first time: "Miss gave Guiqi a lot... and Guiqi probably... wanted to see the lady's smile again."
Apart from surprise, I think there is nothing to describe my mood now. Smile is like... By the way, it was that time... when I smiled at my brother, he happened to be by my side.
"That kind of thing, just tell me directly." I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway... I'm sorry for what happened just now."
“…Why should the lady apologize?”
“Eh?”
"It should be that Gui Qi apologized to Miss. Gui Qi made a decision without telling the lady..."
"That doesn't matter." Looking at his depressed look, I suddenly had an idea, "But... I'm in a good mood now. If you want to see a smile or something... turn your head now."
Ghost struggled for a while, and finally looked at me.
"Incredible, you actually blushed... You are a treasure sword that is famous inside and outside Genji..." After I said these words, Gui Qi was even more afraid to look at me.
Even if it won't take long, I may die in the retreat, or I may soon hear the news that Kagura was hidden by the gods. At least for now, it is a rare happiness in these depressed days.
"Hey, Ache, I thought of a game. Can you play with me?" I approached him and asked.
"..." Maybe he was still struggling to see me, but Guiqi didn't answer me.
I stuffed the letter in my hand into his arms: "If you don't say it, I will act as your default."
I ran straight behind myself. My yard was very big, and the yard covered with snow was even more empty and lonely. I put my hands beside my mouth and made a trumpet shape.
"Are you ready? You're ready, I'm rushing over!" I said loudly, but without waiting for the ghost to respond, I ran towards him directly.
I threw myself into his arms with all my strength. Ghost Cut hugged me, but I fell into the snow with me.
"Miss?" Gui Qi was a little panicked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." I looked up at him and smiled.
Suddenly something fell out of the ghost-cut clothes and rolled onto the snow. The delicate carvings outlined a fat goldfish, stranded in the snow.
Seeing that I was stunned, Guiqi asked, "Does Miss need to read the letter? This seems to have fallen out of the letter."
That was Kagura's favorite goldfish wood sculpture. Her favorite brother gave her birthday gift.
"Miss?" Guiqi's voice was very soft. I never knew that he would beat me so fiercely in the exercise field and would take my feelings into consideration when he spoke.
"It's okay..." I didn't go to see the goldfish wood carving, but because I was too sad, I could only bury my face on his shoulder first, "Ache, please read it for me."
"Yes, Miss."
I didn't understand the place my brother said, and I was not sure about it. So, I didn't go there either. Bored, I sat on the side of the rim while carving cherry blossoms with a knife while listening to the ghosts.
Although Genji has many serious books such as Yin-Yang Technique, he can't resist me looking for it several times. Since Genji has treated me like this, it is not an exaggeration to find a few books.
The legend of monsters is always more mysterious when it comes to ordinary people. It is more magnificent than what you have seen with your own eyes.
When I saw the goldfish wood carving that Genboya gave to Kagura, I thought wood carving was an easy thing. It was not until this afternoon that I chose a piece of wood and started carving.
Regarding the retreat in two years, I guess Yuan Lai Guang was still thinking about a more careful plan at this time. Xiao Zi has never come out since September, and I classified it as snakes and all need to hibernate.
"Suji, do you regard Genji as your home?"
This is the third time I have seen Gen Rai Kwang today. Kagura said in his letter, "When he was talking those words alone, he was actually a little pitiful."
I paused the movements on my hands and replied, "I dare not forget the hatred."
"If you were by my side since you were a child, you wouldn't say that." Yuan Lai Guang brought two jars of wine and sat down, "Ghost cut, come and have a drink together."
I continued the carving in my hand to hide my emotions. And Guiqi put the book at my hand and poured wine for Yuan Lai Guang.
"Ground Spider?" Yuan Lai Guang flipped through the book that Gui Ji put at me, "What? Are you interested in it?"
"I'm sorry, there is no at all." I looked straight.
Yuan Lai Guang reached out and handed me a glass of wine: "Sooner or later, that guy will become my sword ghost."
After hesitating for a moment, I still reached out to take it and tilted my head to drink it. The smooth wine entered my throat with a strong aroma of pear blossoms.
"Man and ghosts have never had a symbiosis, and humans are the ultimate winners."
Putting down the cup, maybe because of what Kagura said, I asked, "Does anyone understand these thoughts?"
"Understanding?" Gen Lai Guang sneered, "That kind of thing doesn't need at all. More than ten years ago, the fox demon Tamamota burned Kyoto, and Genji Onmyoji suffered huge losses, and it has only improved in recent years. If humans are weak,
They will only be killed by monsters.”
Yuan Lai Guang leaned against the door and looked at the view in the courtyard while drinking.
"Zi Ji, do you know why I cut the ghost to you?"
I glanced at Guiqi, who was sitting very respectfully. When he saw me looking at him, his face remained unchanged, and he just held the wine glass and lowered his head slightly.
"Because of his loyalty?" I thought of my previous guess again, "It is because of that that you will feel at ease. Someone who watched me, no matter what, I would not dare to escape from the Yuan family or do whatever he wanted."
"This is indeed a reason." Yuan Lai Guang turned his head to look at me, "Because you two are very similar. Once you have identified a thing, you will do it with all your strength. Unfortunately, you are not as enlightened as him. Now you
, still in chaos, not knowing the true good and evil."
True good and evil? Is it good like him?
"In time, I will let you understand that the path I am walking is the most correct one." Yuan Lai Guang raised his head and drank another glass of wine.
In time, maybe I will die after the retreat. Anyway, my brother is living here quite well. Even if something goes wrong, as long as my brother still has the value of exploitation, Yuan Laiguang will not give up on him.
I was not in the mood to listen to him again, so I stood up with the wood carving.
"Miss is going to rest?" Guiqi asked when he saw me get up.
Yuan Lai Guang sat upright and said, "Ghost Cut, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?"
There is indeed one thing that happened to be investigated...but Yuan Lai Guang sent a lot to Gui Qi.
"I already know the truth."
As expected, with Gui Jie's strength, it is quite simple to find out something...
To be continued...
