"I told you, stop it in moderation -" My brother frowned and looked at me with great disgust.

Two years ago, he would have definitely been able to push me out of the door, but not now.

"Why do you have to wear this?" My brother said as he wanted to tear off the cherry blossom wood carving on his haori clothes. "It's rough and ugly..."

"Because if I die, Onii-sama can at least destroy this to achieve the purpose of my death in Onii-sama's hands." I answered without changing my expression.

"...Childish. As long as I am by your side, your life can only be mine." My brother said coldly.

I curved my lips and said with a smile, "Brother, you should protect yourself first."

After saying that, I turned around and left my brother's room.

I don't know how I got here in the past two years, I just feel that my true emotions are gradually being hidden. Smile and gentleness are the best ways to survive in my Genji.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu is quite satisfied with my changes, especially since last year, after I defeated my brother on the training ground, he asked me to deal with some family matters with my brother.

However, they are just trivial matters. The matter of sacrificing sacrifice to the miko is still far away from me, and I have almost no chance to see Kagura. It is even more difficult to get news from my brother. Or in other words, this matter

The matter was so secret that even my brother couldn't pry into it.

I carry Kagura's goldfish wood carvings with me everywhere. I made two cherry blossom wood carvings on New Year's Eve two years ago. One was given to my brother and the other to Onikiri.

Xu Shi chose to retreat in winter to celebrate the Great Recession. As early as June, Minamoto no Yorimitsu began to reorganize his troops.

I remember that at that time, when Minamoto no Yorimitsu proposed to withdraw from Oeyama, many people in the Minamoto clan disagreed. My brother and I observed their every move in the dark. In the end, Onikiri appeared, which shocked the clan members.

.

"If those old guys knew that you and I were about to take over all the family affairs, how do you think they would lose their expressions?" My brother looked at the family members outside the bamboo curtain with a subtle expression.

"I don't care about those things, Onii-sama, I just need to deal with the monsters that need to be dealt with."

The bamboo curtain blocked most of the light, and in this dark place, the expressions and whispers of the family members were clearly visible. Minamoto no Yorimitsu arranged for us here, intentionally or unintentionally, for the mission.

Made very useful.

My brother's eyes flickered and stopped on my face: "I didn't think so before, but now I think we are really similar."

I couldn't help laughing: "Brother, are you kidding me? We are actually twins."

Later, I conducted my own investigation and found that what Onikiri said was not much different from my life experience. In order to cover up this fact, Minamoto Yorimitsu erased our original existence. In order to achieve his goal, Minamoto Yorimitsu used any means to achieve his goals.

We, half humans and half demons, gradually brought Genji under control.

He controlled us, used us, and controlled Genji. However, this was only part of his plan.

My brother became a Genji earlier than me, came into contact with Minamoto Yorimitsu earlier than I did, and also knew about the snake demon Kūuri earlier. It was easier for Minamoto Yorimitsu to control him than it was for me.

If I hadn't accidentally learned two years ago that Minamoto no Yorimitsu also wanted to abandon me, I might have been hidden as a sacrifice to a shrine maiden.

"Just because we are twins, I know what you are doing." My brother narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

Two years is enough time, and there are indeed deeper secrets in Genji. Every year, girls enter Genji for training, but in terms of number, there are only a lot more. All the information ends here. With my current strength,

There is no way to continue to trace it. Fortunately, Kagura has not been hidden by the gods in the past two years.

People started to disperse in the main hall, so I stood up and said, "So, what will brother do? I'm looking forward to it very much."

My brother also stood up, with a faint smile on his face: "I don't plan to do anything. Speaking of which, that guy Onikiri treats you really differently."

From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Onikiri waiting for me not far away, but I didn't ignore what my brother said in my ear.

"As far as I know, he is no ordinary monster."

"Miss, are you worried about the treatment tomorrow?" Onikiri's voice interrupted my thinking.

When I regained consciousness, Onikiri had already stood up and walked in front of me. After tidying up the bedding, he looked at me and said, "Miss, don't be afraid. Onikiri will definitely protect the master and the lady."

I shook my head slightly and said, "I'm not afraid."

An unusual monster? Speaking of being powerful, Onikiri is indeed powerful. If he is not strong enough, how can he become a guardian angel? But I really can't figure out what is so unusual about it.

Onikiri taught me swordsmanship not long ago, and I don’t know if it was Minamoto Yorimitsu’s order. Every time he and Minamoto Yorimitsu came back from fighting against another country, they were the first to see me.

"I didn't sleep. It seems I came just in time." My brother opened the tent curtain and came in, wearing a blue feather cloth on his shoulders.

Onikiri still didn't like him very much, so he got up and left.

"Do you know why Yorimitsu Minamoto chose Oeyama to retreat?" He didn't hide anything and asked me directly.

It really resonates with me. I have been thinking about this issue for a while, but I don’t know.

"If you want to say why... I don't know. If Minamoto Norimitsu is just for his own justice, that is possible. But I guess he chased the remnants when he went to eliminate the earth spiders." I rubbed my temples.

Said, "I think the latter statement is more reliable."

"Forget it." My brother sat in front of me and said, "When you said that, I remembered it. This is indeed the case. So, why did the remnants of the earth spiders run to the big rivers and mountains? Could it be that their lair is here?

?”

I didn't answer the call. Dajiangshan was full of demonic energy. I would have felt uncomfortable, but I felt very comfortable.

"...Who knows." I murmured, "But what on earth is going on with the ghost you are talking about?"

"I can tell you. But you also have to tell me what happened to the mark on your arm."

Mark? I raised my left arm: "This?"

"...I always feel familiar." My brother said, "It seems like I've seen him somewhere many times."

That being said, something like this seemed familiar to me. I took out the silver comb I was carrying close to my body and held it up to show my brother.

"How do you feel about that jade ring?"

The elder brother stared at the jade ring for a while, and finally said stiffly: "It gives me a headache, take it away."

"Okay... this mark was given by a person. There seems to be a strong evil spirit on the mark, and sometimes a big snake will come out. That's it."

My brother reached out and grabbed my arm. His cool fingertips ran across the inside of my arm, pressing the mark. He looked at me again and said, "Onikiri? Some people say he is an evil ghost, created by Minamoto Yorimitsu."

Come out. Of course, evil spirits have their own thoughts, you should have discovered it, right?"

...Based on his unnecessary insistence on something, not to mention this, I also think that he does have his own ideas. However, he almost obeys Minamoto Yorimitsu's words. If Minamoto Yorimitsu wants Onikiri to kill

I, Onikiri, may hesitate, but I will never refuse.

"What? You don't believe it?" My brother seemed to notice my surprise and lowered his voice, "Don't forget what those witches are used for. Sacrificing witches naturally exists as sacrifices. The problem is,

Who enjoyed the sacrifice."

"...a god?"

"That's it for now." My brother turned his back, "Originally, you followed me to that place on the Great Dark Day two years ago, and you might have unexpected gains."

I didn't say anything, closed my eyes and slowly digested the news I just got.

"Speaking of which, do I have to take this with me tomorrow?" my brother asked.

I opened my eyes and saw him holding up the cherry blossom wooden sculpture.

"It's very important." I answered him, and silently held the goldfish wooden sculpture hanging around my neck tightly.

"Yorimitsu Minamoto is really a terrible person." My brother put away the cherry blossom wood carvings, "If you and I were raised and raised in his hands, he would be able to do more than just retreat from the country."

"..."

"If you go down the same path as him, we may still be able to maintain our current relationship."

I didn't answer my brother, I just leaned forward and hugged his neck, burying my face in his arms.

"……let go."

"I wanted to do this a long time ago, but I couldn't beat my brother--" I tightened my strength on my hand, "But now, my brother can't beat me, so now you listen to me."

"...Do you want to see him?" My brother's voice was cold, with a hint of tolerance.

Yuori, who was leaning in her brother's arms, felt a little wet.

I remembered the afternoon after I defeated my brother that day. Yorimitsu Minamoto allowed me to rest for a long time. The spring mountains were smiling and the wind was gentle and quiet. It was considered an excellent weather in spring.

I raised my head and watched the cherry blossoms falling, and the sunlight passed through the cherry blossoms and hit my face. Suddenly there was a shower of cherry blossoms. Onikiri jumped down from the tree with many branches of cherry blossoms, and said with a serious face, Miss, come and take a look, this

Is there anything you like in it?

Looking at his clean and serious eyes, I was stunned and immediately asked him, Archer, has anyone said that you look like a child?

Onikiri shook his head and asked me in a low voice, did the lady miss that child?

Onikiri didn't know Kagura's name, but he knew that Kagura was very important to me. Seeing me shaking my head, he was slightly disappointed.

"Actually, I'm thinking that it might be more suitable for Archer to be a child, at least more suitable than me." I pulled him to sit down with me. I smiled and took out a few cherry blossoms from his arms and said unambiguously.

He patted his head lightly and said, "I am now the one who can defeat my brother. I am also the 'Purple Princess' that scares the outside world. There is no need for Ache to worry about me like this."

My actions and words caused a suspicious blush to creep onto Onikiri's face and the tips of his ears. Only I know that I treat him completely differently from other people. In front of him, I can act like a normal child.

get along with him.

Such a clean and pure life, now tells me that it is an evil ghost, or was created and cultivated by Minamoto Noraimitsu. How should I face him?

I have become stronger and less prone to crying than before. Naturally, I have also become silent. When my brother and I took off our disguises, he also told me that you are completely different from the one you were before.

people.

"Aki, why are you fighting?" Sometimes Onikiri would wipe the sword with a crescent moon on the edge after returning from the battle with Minamoto Yorimitsu. Watch Onikiri wipe his three swords

, I will ask this.

"In order to kill all the evil spirits in the world, I am the sharp blade of the Genji, and the banner of the Genji is my justice." He answered this tirelessly every time, with a very serious look in his eyes.

The only time he looked at me with his pure red eyes and asked: "Young lady should also fight for the flag of the Yuan family. If you work so hard, you will definitely become as good a person as your master."

That's not right... Onikiri. That is your justice, not mine. I never thought about becoming a person like Watsumoto Yorimitsu.

I have never cared about justice, nor how many evil ghosts there are in the world, nor how many humans have been eaten by evil ghosts. What I care about is always what I care about.
