In the quiet late night, Sanri Yuezong's magnetic voice reverberated in this bedroom that seemed suddenly narrower.

For some reason, even though he is half-lying at the moment, and she is standing, she is the one who looks down on him from a high position——but his aura seems to cover the entire room in an instant, showing an overwhelming and overwhelming People can't help but want to be convinced.

At this moment, his sense of existence seemed to expand infinitely until it filled the entire room, as if he was about to rush in front of her, slowly enlarging his smile and his words in front of her eyes until it occupied her mind.

For a moment, Liu Quan felt that he couldn't say a word.

Following the words of Mikazuki Zongjin, her eyes seemed to reappear that day on the battlefield outside Tathagata Hall, amidst the gravel, black smoke and flames from the cannonballs falling on the mountains, he said that day This sentence comes from the seriously injured line in the original work, walking out of the explosion and gunpowder smoke where it is almost impossible for anyone to survive, and spreading his hands in front of her, so that she can see the scene of the shattered Amulet.

ah ah.Is that scene what he said, there is such a person, no matter how ugly she is, she understands her choice, tolerates her difficulties, and fights for her with all her strength?

However, almost at the same time, another scene also emerged in her memory.

It was outside the gate of Sensoji Temple where the wind was blowing and the ground was shaking. When the foundation of that world was shaking inevitably, as if the whole world was about to crumble, it was like a strong castle was collapsing. She resolutely put her chest in front of the blade of his body knife, the famous knife that has been revered and amazed by everyone since more than 1000 years ago, cut open her flesh and blood, and pierced her body. That broken heart——

In the end, what popped up in his mind was Izumi Mori Kanesada's gruff yell, which was used to cover up his embarrassment.

【Who, who would want to sleep with the person who stabbed me! 】

Liu Quan slowly curled the corners of his lips.

Facing Sanri Yuezong's almost overwhelming calm and powerful aura, she slowly——

Said unlovely, spoiling things.

"You say that because... have you ever stabbed me?"

Hearing her answer, Sanri Yuezong's crescent-shaped eyes suddenly flickered on and off.

Then, he still looked straight into her eyes, without seeming guilty at all, just lifted the thin quilt, stood up, and walked in front of her step by step.

For some reason, when he stood up and approached her, as he approached her step by step, she also stepped back step by step, as if wanting to get out of his control; The space was limited, and after she took a few steps back, she bumped into the door of the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe in the corner with her back.

Seeing her inevitable embarrassment, Sanri Yue Zongjin didn't stop.From beginning to end, the corners of his lips carried a faint, aloof smile as he slowly approached her, and finally stopped a step away from her.

When he stood up, the height difference between the two was instantly reversed.Now, it was he who was looking down at her from a high position; the breaths of both of them seemed to gradually become tense with this mutual refusing to give in.

He just stared at her so deeply, without saying a word; while she was clinging to the cold cabinet door behind her, unable to retreat—this situation undoubtedly caused her more and more pressure, and at the end , she seemed to have to be frightened by such pressure and opened her mouth.

"...At that time in Hakodate, when we parted..." She blinked her eyes slowly, seeming a little embarrassed or ashamed, but finally said the truth that was in the way.

"Even...you kissed me, you didn't really have any...special emotion for me."

She hesitated, choosing her words carefully, as if for a moment she wanted to look away because she couldn't stand the pressure of his scorching stare, but because of her unspeakable self-esteem, she reluctantly held on, and continued to look back as if she refused to admit defeat. Looking at his face with a faint smile, but as if covered with an iron mask.

"Later... in front of Sensoji Temple, when you swung your sword at me, you didn't hesitate at all, right?"

Sanri Yue Zongjin still looked down at her with a smile, the smile on his face remained motionless, as if he had no intention of opening his mouth to defend himself.

Liu Quan felt that the next words seemed more and more difficult to utter; however, she still had to say, because she felt that she was already afraid of the kind of kiss without emotion in the name of increasing spiritual power——

"You have seen me in the most embarrassing state, and you have also seen me chasing the back of another person..."

"Under your watchful eyes, I have failed, tried my best, fallen in the dark, and even turned into that terrible monster—"

Liu Quan raised his eyes, looked directly at Sanri Yuezong's crescent eyes that seemed to suck her soul in, and took a deep breath.

"We have fought side by side, and we have also escaped from the outnumbered battlefield together; we have fought against each other, I have cut off your arm, and you have pierced my heart..."

"In the end, in retrospect, I didn't even really summon you, nor did I give you this body when you took human form..."

She looked up at his handsome face, and finally expressed the deepest question buried in her heart word by word.

"It's not that I underestimate myself... But, I don't think I've shown anything precious enough to make you choose my virtues or benefits without hesitation at all times?"

While it can be embarrassing to discuss one's weaknesses with such a lofty, elusive and dangerous opponent, there's nothing to be afraid of once you say it.Liu Quan's speech became smoother.

"...I don't even have a natural spiritual power. It's different from the famous masters you have met in the annals of history, and it's also different from the god-inspectors you've met who can give you a human form..."

"I'm just a mortal. A mortal who has no choice but to go forward with a dull head and courage..."

Feeling the slight itching of his breath gently blowing on her face, she blinked slowly.

"Why are you here tonight?"

"...Why are you standing in front of me, Mikazuki?"

Sanri Yuezong's eyes flashed close, and he seemed to show a slightly surprised expression for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be able to speak so frankly; however, he quickly recovered that sense of leisurely superiority that was rich and plentiful.

He was not in a hurry to answer her series of questions, but suddenly stretched out his right hand, and gently brushed her cheek with the back of his hand and slightly curved knuckles; then, he slightly lowered his face, and when the two of them were breathing, In the distance of smelling, said softly with a smile:

"Didn't you already tell the reason?"

Liu Quan: "...what?"

Sanri Yuezong paused for a moment when his right hand was lightly brushing her face; in the next second, he turned his hand over, supported her chin with his slender fingers, and lifted her face slightly.

"I've seen you in the most embarrassing state. I stabbed you once and was stabbed by you. I had to serve as a slinger temporarily to help you escape your nominal brother in Edo..."

He slowly raised his eyebrows, and a smile stained his brows.

"When I kissed you in Hakodate, it wasn't so much emotionally driven as it was because I wanted to get revenge on you for leaving me behind and taking risks for other people without hesitation..."

"When I stabbed you at Sensoji Temple, it was just to clear you who had fallen in the dark."

The iron mask-like smile on his face suddenly faded away.

"I also know that as the Five Swordsmen in the World, there are many people who want to get me, and you are not among them."

"but--"

He suddenly protracted the ending, and his expression became solemn and serious.

"Perhaps it's because I stabbed you that I want to follow what you said... and occasionally obey the 'desire to be a mortal'."

Liu Quan: "...what, what...?"

[Since you have a mortal body, how about trying to obey the mortal desire? 】

In the open square outside the gate of Sensoji Temple, where the wind was blowing and the sand was flying, my life was hanging by a thread, and I finally said such words to him; in the end, thinking of my mentality at that time, it was just...to be able to subtly express my feelings at the end. Have a limited upper hand mentally, right?

Because I concluded that he would not understand what "mortal desires" are, that's why I was able to speak so calmly, so condescendingly, and so mysteriously; in fact, it was because she thought at the time that she would never see this person again , at the very end, wanting to overwhelm him mentally, wanting to gain an advantage in front of him in some cognitive aspects—in fact, the reason why these somewhat childish feelings arise is because...she subconsciously , I always thought that I was weak, looked up to, and cautious in front of him, right?

Thinking about it now, she even yelled more than once in front of the well-known Oni's Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi, and contradicted his unkind and unreasonable orders more than once.However, she had never done that kind of thing in front of Sanri Yue Zongjin.

This is precisely because I never thought that this person would have any emotional involvement with me.

It is precisely because she did not simply treat him as "a man".In her eyes, he is the incarnation of a respectable—even awesome—famous sword, the incarnation of a god; no matter how amiable he is, he should be enshrined on the altar.

...When did such a god descend from the altar, from the legend, down to her room, come before her, and become an existence that cannot be ignored.
