Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

"Young Master, the head of the Uesugi family has collided with an S-class." Crow came to report, "Should we do something?"

"Did they quarrel?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"No, they were squatting harmoniously on the telephone pole holding the same umbrella."

"Letting her get soaked is not an option. Just prepare an umbrella for me. I will pick her up and welcome our S-class members." Yuan Zhisheng stood up from the bench.

"Yes, young master." Crow went out to prepare.

"Where is your home!" Lu Mingfei shouted loudly in the witch's ear, "I will take you back!"

The sound of the rain was too loud. Otherwise, his words would not reach the other party's ears at all.

The witch took out a soaked red post-it note and ballpoint pen from her arms. She wanted to write something on it, but when the tip of the pen touched it, the black ink soaked away, and the words she wrote down turned into There were black lumps.

She stopped after writing the first word, put the pen and paper back, and pointed to an industrial building on the other side of the intersection.

"Where do you live?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.

Why don't you go back when your home is so close?

The miko nodded and pointed to the package in her arms. She spread her left hand flat and traced it with two fingers of her right hand.

"Did you sneak out?"

The miko nodded again.

"Be careful of catching a cold if you get wet on a rainy day. Let me take you in first, okay?" Lu Mingfei stood up and held the umbrella higher. "If you agree, blink three times. If you don't agree, blink four times. .”

He is so good-looking but can't speak. God is really cruel.

The miko blinked her eyes four times without moving, as if she didn't want to leave behind the telephone pole.

Lu Mingfei was at his wits end. He couldn't drag others away, otherwise he would be regarded as a gangster.

There was only one umbrella here, so he had no choice but to squat down again and huddle in the corner with this wayward little girl.

There seemed to be something very important in the miko's arms. Even though her back and chest were soaked, the gray cloth bag remained dry.

She protected it like a mother protecting her child.

Maybe I was afraid that the rain would make the bag wet. The wind blew the heavy rain to tilt, and when I walked, the things in my arms would inevitably be affected.

The two of them squatted on the telephone pole, like children playing house.

There is only one sound in the world, the ticking of rain. This is really a strange experience.

Raindrops as big as soybeans fell into the puddles, splashing water and mist. The world became hazy and dreamy, the outline of Tokyo Tower became blurred, the streets were empty, Xia Lei suddenly sounded, but you were with a beautiful person The witch in the Paper Man is leaning against a telephone pole, holding the same umbrella.

To be honest, this umbrella was of no use at all. Apart from covering my head and chest a little, my pants and shoes were still wet.

The girl looked up at the sky and said one word: "Sakura".

It turns out she can talk.

The soft voice was not drowned out by the clatter, because the miko spoke close to his ear.

Sakura, does she want to find Sakura?

Lu Mingfei didn't connect her with "Eriyi's PSN". He thought that witches and cherry blossoms go well together.

It often appears in anime. In March or April, a young miko wearing a red and white miko costume would lean against the torii gate, and the pale pink cherry blossom petals would fall one by one, like spring rain, into the palm of the miko's hand.

But it's August now, where are the cherry blossoms?

Lu Mingfei shook his head. There were cherry blossom cakes. He bought some and put them in the hotel. They tasted pretty good. There were pickled cherry blossoms in the filling. They were sweet and not greasy. Maybe the miko would like to eat them.

It suddenly occurred to him that there seemed to be another piece in the bag.

It was originally intended for breakfast, but the heavy rain came so quickly that he didn't have time to take it out.

I took out a small piece of oil paper from my coat pocket. Fortunately it was oil paper, otherwise it would have been wet by the rain.

Lu Mingfei wiped his hands on his still dry shirt, held the umbrella stand in his arm, and carefully peeled off the oil paper.

He broke the cherry blossom cake in half and handed half to the girl next to him.

"Sakura cake." He said, "Sakura's cake."

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed the half of the cake, looked left and right, and chewed it in small bites, like a squirrel looking for food.

Is there really such a girl in the world?

Lu Mingfei ate up the remaining half of the cake like a gulp.

He never likes to chew slowly. Ashina's dry food is really hard to eat. If you chew it for a while in your mouth, you will suffer more. The correct way is to swallow it in two or three times and then drink water to clear your mouth.

But the miko was not anxious at all. She savored the taste of the cherry blossom cake carefully, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved up. She smiled, and her smile was so beautiful that she was disillusioned and intoxicated.

At this time, the sound of rain suddenly became quieter.

It wasn't that the rain stopped, but a huge umbrella shrouded the heads of Lu Mingfei and the witch. It was more like a tent than an umbrella because it was so big that there were eight people in suits. The strong man is carrying the frame.

"It's time to go back." Yuan Zhisheng stretched out his right hand towards Eriyi.

There was still unwiped cherry blossom filling at the corner of her mouth. She handed over the bag in her arms first, and then held Yuan Zhisheng's hand.

"Thank you for holding the umbrella for my sister. Come sit in the guest room and change clothes." Yuan Zhisheng said with a smile, "She is always running around."

guest room.

Lu Mingfei put on a black kimono. Those suits didn't fit him well. He couldn't even stretch out his sleeves when wearing them, so Yuan Zhisheng prepared a set of loose kimono for him.

His new iPhone was not flooded, but the battery was low and he had already taken it to charge.

"She is a bit withdrawn and doesn't like playing with strangers." Yuan Zhisheng took a sip of hot tea and sat across from Lu Mingfei. "This is the first time I saw her smile at a stranger. She doesn't care about me. Don’t laugh often.”

"I just treated her to half a cherry blossom cake." Lu Mingfei said politely, "It's nothing. I have to thank you for letting me take shelter here from the rain."

"You don't seem to be proficient in Japanese. Are you Chinese?"

"Yes, I am traveling to Japan, and this is only my third day."

"The country of cherry blossoms always welcomes guests. Please rest and wait until the rain stops before leaving."

"Thanks for the treat."

"It doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter." Yuan Zhisheng gave Crow a look, "Take the guests to rest."

"Yes, young master." Crow walked up to Lu Mingfei, "Please follow me."

The two of them walked silently in the corridor. The rainwater hit the iron-black glass curtain wall and slid down weakly, making people feel a sense of tranquility in their hearts.

Lu Mingfei's gloves were in the wide sleeves of his kimono. He looked like an old man. He suddenly stopped and looked out the window.

He remembered something again. It was also raining heavily at that time. He finally blew out the whistle and escaped from Ashina Castle with Kuro. However, in the reed field flying in the sky, he was cut off by Genichiro Ashina who came over. Left hand.

That was the only time the injury did not fully recover. He was in so much pain that he became unconscious and thought the end of the world was coming.

Crow also paused. He felt the indomitable momentum and determination from the young man behind him, as well as the most humble struggle and resistance.

"S-level is still S-level after all." He looked at the boy's profile through the reflective glass.
