Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 103 The Gentleness of a Samurai

The only way to do this is to attract the cockroaches' attention, both to drive them away and to divert their attention elsewhere.

--Call the police.

But in this weather, even if you call the police, it will be difficult for the police to come here immediately, right?
The hooligans laughed loudly in the store. They yelled loudly while telling dirty jokes, which caused dissatisfaction among many customers.

The noise of the rain outside made it even more depressing.

"Xingzi, table 8 needs additional food." Someone shouted.

"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back." Kyoko rubbed the little girl's wet head with a towel again, "Sit here for a while, I'll be right back."

The little girl sat obediently on the small bench, reached into her pocket, and took out a necklace, which was silver and didn't look very valuable.

This is the necklace around the woman's neck, which the little girl took off from the woman when she left.

At least... as a souvenir.

The rainwater flowed down the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if someone was pouring water on it, distorted and hazy.

There was no one on the street, the little girl looked in the direction of the door, she felt that the man would not come back.

From now on, she will be alone.

What would the world be like alone?
Will someone pick me up from school?
Will someone cook for me?

Will someone put me to sleep?

Will someone... love me?

so afraid……

She squatted on the small bench, shivering.

A person's world is scary.

Mom... come and take me home...

The gangster inadvertently saw the little girl with her arms folded.

"Hey, would you like something to eat, little sister?" he said.

The little girl looked towards the corner, and the gangster was waving at her.

It was originally a well-intentioned act, but when he did it, there was always a strange sense of disobedience.

They are guys who often hide in the alleys behind primary and secondary schools to collect protection money from students. Sometimes they even attack old people passing by. The term "respecting the elderly and caring for the young" has nothing to do with these little gangsters.But when he saw the little girl, he felt a sadness from her body. It was not a storm, but like sulfuric acid, slowly corroding the bottom of your heart, making people uncomfortable.

So late, such a small child, where is her family?
Are her parents not worried?

"Quick, come here, I'll pay for what you want to eat, hee hee." He said with a smile, but it was a pity that he looked miserable, and it was more like a grin in the eyes of others.

"That's enough!" The store manager couldn't bear it anymore. He would never allow a gangster like this to bully a little girl.

He strode over with an iron skewer holding a barbecue.

"Get out! You are not welcome here! What are you wearing that are not doing business properly?"

"Do you understand the nail jacket? You are an old thing that can't keep up with the times!" The gangsters are not happy. They haven't provoked them yet, but they are being troubled by others. How can they bear it?

"Did you buy it with your own money?" the store manager angrily said, "Did you snatch it from students? I don't want this kind of dirty money!"

"Old man, please be respectful in what you say!" The gangsters picked up their bowls and chopsticks and stood up, and the air in the store suddenly became solemn.

They don't mind smashing the china bowl on the old man's head.

"Store manager, don't do this, calm down." The shop assistants rushed over and pulled the old shop manager to prevent him from being impulsive.

The buttocks of the customers left their seats slightly. If there was a riot, they would immediately find a place to hide to avoid being affected.

God knows if these gangsters would fight regardless of who they were targeting. Even if they were divided, it would be bad if they were accidentally injured.

The two sides were at war with each other, the female shop assistants were pulling the store manager, and the male shop assistants were holding a broom. Although most of them had no fighting experience, it was absolutely impossible to watch the old shop manager fight more than one.

The little girl didn't raise her eyes to look at all this, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, she only felt that they were noisy.

Who will take her home?

anyone is welcome...

mom... dad...

"Enough!" The door suddenly opened, and the sound of vigorous business was heard in the limited space.

A man in a gray kimono walks in, carrying a tachi.

He went straight to the girl and held out his hand to her.

"Let's go."

The little girl looked at him blankly.

"Aren't you going?" The man frowned.

The little girl shook her head, holding the man's index finger with her little hand.

He took the little girl and walked out the door.

"Wait!" Xingzi stopped the man, "It's raining heavily outside, what should I do if the child catches a cold? Let's wait for the rain to calm down..."

The man ignored it and walked straight to the door.

The guests chattered.

"Isn't this your own?"

"A red weather warning was issued in the news just now. If you go out now and bring a child with you, you won't have a problem with your brain, right?"

"What a weirdo..."

The store manager pulled out something from under the counter and ran towards the man.

"At least please bring this!" he said.

The man turned his head and saw that it was a transparent umbrella.

"Thank you." The man took the umbrella and walked out the door.

It was late at night, and there were almost no vehicles passing by on the street.

He was just about to walk into the rain curtain when he heard the girl sneeze.

The man retreated to the eaves, fiddling with the umbrella. He couldn't figure out how it opened.

In his era, the oil-paper umbrellas at that time were all tied with a string, and they were tied up with a string when not in use.

The umbrella in his hand didn't seem to need a rope, but he didn't know where to open it.

"Press here." The little girl pressed the button on the handle of the umbrella for him.

The umbrella opened, and the man was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a hidden weapon to be used to open the umbrella!

He led the little girl for a walk in the rain.

"Where are you going?" the man asked.

"I want to go home." the girl asked.

"Why do those people want to kill you?"

"My father owed a lot of money and ran away, so they came to arrest my mother and me." The little girl answered every question.

"You go home and those people are going to catch you."

"I just think that if I go home, I will be able to see my mother."

"Your mother is dead." The man said mercilessly, "She's lying in that alley."

"Then uncle, can you help me bury my mother?" The girl didn't cry, "I'm afraid she'll get cold lying there."

"Okay, then I'll take you to bury your mother." The man said, "My name is Heyuan Tianzhisheng. What's the name of the little girl?"

"My name is Xingyuanchun, and my mother calls me Xiaochun."

"It's a nice name." The man nodded.

The two were walking on the empty street, and the cherry blossom petals were covered with rainwater and flew onto the umbrella.The man's hand holding the umbrella is very stable. For him who is used to holding a heavy sword, an umbrella is insignificant, and even the strongest wind can't shake him at all.

"Uncle, is this knife real?" the little girl asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"Why did you shave so much hair?"

"Convenient for fighting."

"Where are you from?"

"The Kingdom of Weiming."

"I seem to have heard of it in a textbook."

"Is it?"

"I thought you weren't coming back."

"I'm just keeping you there for a while."

"What should I do in the future?"

"I don't know, but Master Yixin said that one step counts as one step. In the dark, you still need to move according to your heart. If you don't feel thirsty or confused, you will not rest until you die."

……

The two asked and answered, and the figure gradually drifted away, gradually disappearing under the dim light.
